The only thing I can think of that us and Jonesboro have in common is Ray Martin. He was from Jonesboro but coached in Oglesby for a long time.

Note the namesake of Oglesby was involved with him too. I think there are still Babbs around Coryell County. A few around Ft. Davis too.

OBK that's awesome! I love history and have looked up William Oglesby a lot but never heard of Babb. That Cranfill guy is he the founder of Cranfills Gap? This rivalry does diserve a name!

Cardinal Dad wrote Bit of trivia for you,
Once upon a time, back in the day, I dunked the ball in Oglesby and bent the rim down a couple of inches in the front. What team did I play for?[/quote]
LA, you are Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Jonesboro by atleast 30...Oglesby is way too small to hang...
The more physical team wins and I believe that is Jonesboro. Is this the district Champion ship or will Walnut Springs or Iredell have a say when its all said and done. This is a very tough district we may see 3 way ties when its all said and done. Wonder what the tie breaking system is ? Second place of this district get The Real RS so am pretty sure everyone is trying to be the district winner.

This district had a 3 way tie back in the 80's. It was decided by a coin flip. Iredell was district champs aand Jonesboro was the runner up. Cranfills Gap stayed home due to losing the flips. I am not sure what the current system is.texas man":2xa3y40d said:

Can you imagine, if the 3 ghost schools were still going.

I think one of the ghost schools would win just because ghosts are so hard to catch. They would probably be competitive against each other though. WHo ya gonna call?CT6MFL":4e3d09q6 said:

Don't forget Mozelle... it was also right in the middle of that.
Swayback is around Purmela. Babbsville is the old Pancake, TX. The only BABBS I know is of an ol' man that was a health inspector for many, many years. I once asked him about it and he remembered when they still called it that. I think he lives around Gustine or Comanche now though.
Mozelle is a tad to far west for that district I think....
and I'd say if those schools were all still up and going Turnersville would be the favorite...isn't that where a lot of the Jonesboro talent has came from thanks to consolidation (legit question I'm asking there)
