We do have two bye weeks. Long trip though.
Speaking of long trips... I was perusing the teams in various districts and came across D1, D16. Huh?
I'd googled (Gilmer) Union Hill when Coach Mallory moved there as I've known him slightly for several years. When I saw High Island in the same district was the Huh, followed by a What? I had to verify my thought by checking Rand Mc Nally's mileage calculator. 253 miles for a district game. A 500 mile round trip. With stops a 10 hour trip? The kids will be ready to get off the bus when they get there. They might need a little extra time to loosen up.
I know West Texas teams regularly travel close to 100 miles or more for games but this really surprised me for East Texas.
If the Bulldogs get there early enough this year maybe they could go for a run on the beach to loosen up.
Do they maybe spend the night somewhere? Or at least have a decent bus?
