Yep.

[JMT]

I lost it as well.

We go through stretches like this where we have problems scoring due to some of the young guys out there that are still trying to get adjusted to the speed of the varsity game.

[WOSgrad]

Back on the air!  At the half, Hightower leads Madison 26-15.

I enjoyed the broadcast this morning. I know the mom of one of our players was listening to the game as well. Even though Hightower won, I'm glad we were able to play the Hurricanes. Our sophomores need to go against teams like that to get them ready for the playoffs. We have the most brutal non-district schedule in 3A (We have Arlington Grace Prep on Tuesday and they are loaded.). Our schedule was rough last year, but it's nothing like the one Coach Mobley put together for this season. If we play Cleveland in the 3rd place game, that'll be our first game against a 3A school this year and will be our only one until district starts.
