Is it possible for you to list the home team last on all of your picks? Knowing which team is home (and hires the refs) will make a difference in my picks on a close game.

It was an outstanding game between two top ten teams. Both teams turned the ball over more than they would have liked. It was the first game of the season, you can't expect perfection in the first game.

The rule changed about 10 years ago. Before you could hand the ball right back to the center between his legs. This caused confusion as to whether or not the QB got possession of the ball before the center took it back. Now you have to use a wrap-around hand off. The QB raises up with the...

Jayton is again the real deal!! They have 3 outstanding talented players. The other three on the field with them looked solid, no holes on defense. MC has an outstanding RB. Their team looked like world beaters against BC, but sputtered a bit against Jayton. BC did not look like a top ten...

Where did you see the word "transfer"? You may be jumping to conclusions that are not there. I was told that kids are coming out of the woodwork to play football. Some have not played since Jr High. They might be athletic, but way short on experience. It will take some time to see just what...

According to DCTF Whiteface lost 3 starters on both sides of the ball. May lost 1 starter on both sides on the ball. And both schools have new HC. Should be a good game.

It will usually end up being decided by the district committee. If a coach and or administrator marks the paper they fill out that they are moving for athletic purposes, the committee can then decide the eligibility of the player. When appealed to the UIL, they almost always follow the...

Moving for athletic purposes will trump even the parents moving into the district. Just ask the kid that moved from Gordon to Strawn about four years ago.

I am thinking that WV and BC will play in the semifinals in the D1 west. Gordon is again the shoo-in the D1 east. Jayton is again the team to beat in D11, but could be beatable this year.

Would this be enough kids to put Spur into the 11 man world? Would Spur have a say in how many kids they take?

I would think so. I would think those schools in west Texas pay pretty much the same. I saw an advertisement for teacher/coaches that start at 14000 above state base, then they start adding on your coaching responsibilities. Free or very low rent housing. You add in most of your insurance...

I would suggest two reasons. Grady has fairly new facilities and they pay quite a lot more than Zephyr. Jeremy is getting to the age that he needs to look for his best five years of pay before his retirement.

An old school west of Winters.

Saw the Grady doggie snap live from the visitors sideline in 1976. Thought if we hit their center quick and hard enough we could disrupt their whole offense. Didn't happen. Their center was about 200 lbs, quick and strong. We did not move the mountain. They were running a spread offense...

Basketball as I understand it, does not have the mid-number as the dividing number between the division 1 and 2. Each district will have four teams making the playoffs. The two teams with the largest enrollment of the four becomes division 1. The two smaller teams will go into the playoffs as...
