If I had that answer, you couldn't afford the registration fee, Brother Wayne.

The mis-match of teams is always going to be a problem. If the better team has low numbers (under 12 kids), it's the worst, because you probably are always going to have starters in the game in some position. Sure, you can play kids out of position, but good athletes are going to figure stuff out -- but that puts you in a bind because kids do need to have reps.

If the better team has big numbers, then it may be the best because you can play that second or third team against their players and still be competitive. But that's a "best of both worlds" opportunity few of us have.

In fact, I heard it happened a couple weeks ago. A team that is going to be a district champion played the last place team. Every other team in district 45'd them, most by half. But this game went 40 minutes and the champion won it by 40-some points.

All I can say is enjoy the mercy rule wins when you can but enjoy them with humility knowing that sooner or later, you'll be on the other end of that score someday. And it may happen that those kids you kicked like rented mules three or four years ago might be the ones returning the favor.

As for not being a class organization because we played four quarters with Ft. Worth Nazarene and let the JV play some, Coach Ware chooses to reward players in certain ways for their efforts both on the field and in the classroom. I applaud him for preparing his team ,for not only today, but for tomorrow when teachable moments arise. Incidents such as this are why Coach Ware is one of the best sixman coaches in the state, and why he will be at Pine Drive for a while.

If I heard right WFND won the cointoss for District 1 Champ and Brownwood is second with Happy hill coming in third. So here is a revised bracket. not much changing in the end, just matchups.

Denton Calvary (1-4) defeats Dallas Tyler Street (2-2)
Castle Hills loses to WF Notre Dame (1-1)
San Antonio Town East (3-2) defeats Alvin Living Stone (4-2) (upset)
Fredricksburg Heritage (3-1) defeats Brenham Christian (4-4)

Seguin Life Gate (3-4) loses to Grandbury Happy Hill (1-2)
Orange Community Christian (4-3) loses to Heath Fulton (2-1)
Brownwood Victory Life (1-3) loses Boerne Geneva (3-2) close game
Lubbock Kingdom Prep (1-5) loses to Dickinson Pine Drive

FREDDY DEFEATS DICKINSON PINE DRIVE

We're hearing at Lifegate that our opponent is going to be Granbury Happy Hill.

1. WFND
2. Happy Hill
3. BVL

This was the result of the coin toss.

GSB is correct, unless something strange happens with their wk 10 games..
But District 1 finished as:

1. Notre Dame, Wichita Falls
2. Happy Hill, Granbury
3. Victory Life, Brownwood

I edited the bracket. sorry about the mix-up. Not much changes. I'm curious to see how district 1 compares to other districts.

I'm hearing Lifegate @ Granbury Happy Hill will be Sat. Nov 12 @ 1 pm

whats your take on the game?

Well, last time we played there (2003), we lost 88-6. I think it will be closer than that. And who knows, we could win. Otherwise, we probably shouldn't make the trip?

Congrats to Coach Tim Shipman for bringing ANOTHER state title to Fredericksburg Texas

Dog ... is it December 4th already?

I can tell you Tim ain't moving around trophies in the case looking for a place to put that new one just yet. Which is probably why he has a few of them in there already.
