I’ve been to it a few times and have zero problem with at in Austin/ Round Rock because it’s a true central location being the closest to Brady which is the true geographical center of Texas. .  My point is next to football, its a sport that has high interest and fan bases that will follow and if the north Texas powers had to play in San Antonio year in a year out or heaven forbid further south, they’d be asking why can’t they have it up there.  

I mean at the top classification baseball is also pretty much dominated by DFW.

  • OK, I guess I should do one of these this week because I love this week and I got nothing better to do than crank out 3000 words on Texas HS football while sitting in an empty house in Colorado.

They should spit it into two weekends if the aim is to keep a TV package going.    Along with that rotate it to different sites.   Have six man through 3A at one site and 4A through 6A at another.  Get rid of the Wednesday and Thursday nonsense too. 

Rotate the games.  

Make the 6A teams play on fucking Wednesday too.

CFB makes way for NFL, FCS makes way for FBS, HS makes way for CFB, 3A makes way for 6A......it isn't anything about tone, it's simply the pecking order.

Medina Valley ISD is about to build a new high school. They have enough space and people moving to their area that it's pretty dumb to even do. Just build one massive high school, invest in super nice football stadium, indoor practice facility and they could become a  power in SA. 40k homes are being built in that district area. 

Yeah that’s really stupid. They could’ve totally become a juggernaut, instead they’re giving more kids a chance to participate in stuff and reducing travel time to campuses.

I mean it would be funny to close out the weekend of state games with the two 6 man games lol

damn.  11 is probably a normal sized player...LOL.

High schools should just be football teams with awesome weight rooms and a big warehouse labeled "SKOOL" attached, am I right?

Medina Valley should’ve focused on getting good the last few years and they haven’t.    They would’ve been a perfect to follow a model like Lake Travis before they rose from mediocrity.    True they don’t have the $$ like LT, but they are not begging for any either.

Logistically it has some validity.   The argument used is the attendee angle and at least 3A through 6A, at least one of the teams is going to be within a two to three hour drive of the stadium.   In 5A and 6A that will likely be less.   Would a SOC, Duncanville, Aledo or DeSoto game on a Wednesday or Thursday draw a good number?

Had seen #11 described as 6-3, 210.

Summer Creek is the school in Humble Texas.

#11 is listed on their roster as 6'3" and #210.  Granted, rosters can be embellished, but he's a normal sized human being.

Summer creek, Spring Creek, Fall Creek……  Too many schools named after creeks just like too many especially in South Texas are named Veterans Memorial.     Not a dig at our fallen soldiers, but it gets confusing .

The houses they’re building out this way are pretty nice. It will be a nice SA suburb.

If JerryWorld didn't exist and State games were neutral sites:

Gordon vs Westbrook @ Shotwell in Abilene

Ogelsby vs Westbrook @ Shotwell or Stephenville( admitted double header draw would be good)

Timpson Vs Tolar@ Kyle Field in College Station

Mart vs Albany@ Tarleton in Stephenville

Tidehaven vs Gunter @ McLane Stadium in Waco

Franklin vs Malakoff @ McLane Stadium in Waco

Chapel Hill vs Anna @ Waxahachie ISD

Bellville vs Gilmer @ Homer Bryce Stadium in Nacogdoches( alternate: McLane Stadium)

Aledo vs Smithson Valley @ Kyle Field in College Station( Alternate: McClane Stadium)

Port Neches- Groves vs South Oak Cliff @ Kyle Field in College Station( Alternate: DKR in Austin)

North Shore vs Duncanville @ Homer Bryce Stadium in Nacogdoches

Summer Creek vs Desoto @ Crusader Stadium in Belton

It's taken me a full year to quit confusing Summer Creek and Shadow Creek.

round two had CC Vets Memorial vs Brownsville Vets Memorial. Might be the first time two schools with the same name faced each other in the playoffs.

It’s happened before. Mission Vets Memorial beat SA Vets Memorial a few years ago. I’m sure they played CC Vets before that too.

No “offsides” on the kicking team in that photo, as all players are behind the 40 when ball is kicked.

Hook’em!!!

That whataburger is 1/2 mile (take a right down Monroe, turn left down the 3rd or 4th at) from where I grew up. Kent St. Ugly little house with amazing memories of my family.  I miss Daddy.

Going to PM you - we must have lived near each other. We built our house in the early 90s on a lot on Monroe that used to house a big boat the locals called The Ark. Coming from Port Arthur, I had not heard of it, as a child, but people who had been in Groves for a long time used to come by to see the house that was built where The Ark used to be.

That is one rabid, roided up porcupine

 

Springtown copied Permian's use of MOJO sometime back in the late 80s, and decided to start using POJO (porcupine mojo) as their similar rallying cry. I didn't realize they'd named the mascot POJO nowadays.
