Hopefully my Oilers will focus all their frustrations on the field.

I'll keep ya'll posted.

Feels great today, but its windy.  Thrall can't complain about that.

Hey Pinelandflash, the light issue has been resolved.

I'd like to see the actual yards for this game, I bet Thrall maybe had 90 yds total offense.  2nd half they may have gotten 2 1st downs, but i think it was only 1.

My Oilers have nothing to hang their heads about, the only 2 scores thrall had was when given a short field.

This game was a sad loss for the Oilers but on a different note, better note .. Both teams prayed together after the game.  Opened all our eyes and hearts to a different meaning. West Hardin showed class and pride on that field. Congrats on a great season to all the kids in all the schools.

[Joharr73]

I'll agree with that!  Thrall was a very classy team, they could have been celebrating right away, but chose to join the Oilers at midfield.  Much respect for the Thrall players after that. 

I also second raiderfan's comments on our Oilers, they played a hard fought game and kept it clean through out the whole game.

I won't be around for most of the Basketball season, but I'll be at every track meet.  I'd like to go ahead a book my room in Austin please!  ;D ;D ;D

[raiderfan2010]

Last year due to a broken/sprained ankle the night before district meet i got cheated out of my trip to Austin .. But I do love Austin in the spring time !!!!! See you there John !
