Showdown

[51eleven]

Gordon's undefeated. Some might say they've not played anyone. But their undefeated. 45'd several people. So has Strawn. But they've been 45'd by a top D1 team yet beat another. Both 45'd both district opponents. The stuff that addicted me in the 90's to sixman.
In Gordon Friday. Be there or be square.

Yeah, not my first mistake on here. I honestly thought about it shortly after I got up this morning but haven't had a chance to rectify it since, since you caught it first. To my credit on another thread earlier in the week I did mention Gordon was 3 points away from an undefeated season a little more correctly.

Strawn certainly isn't undefeated. Are they battle tested? We know both teams are well coached. And there is history.

I've not been to a sixman game this year because of my back. Think this one might be worth hobbling in for. The Hound's might need my vocal assistance on the Longhorn's home turf.

Lee and Reed have to be the two best sixman coaches to ever coach in the same county at the same time. Therefore, all I have to say is " Palo Pinto County ain't big enough for the two of " them!

Yeah, I think it is. Last communique I had with Coach Lee ended with we are blessed. Coach Reed is from Gordon, proved himself as a player there if I remember right, elsewhere as a Coach at State with Rings. Back home. They could alternate winning State and I'd be happy.

The Strawn vs Gordon matchup has to be at the top of the heap. A couple of other honorable mentions: Balmorhea vs Rankin and Sterling City vs Garden City. Some really good games in this final week of the regular season.

I'd have to add Milford and Avalon to that list. And although it's not a prime time top ten game the Aquilla and Abbott this week could be added as far as rivalry games go. As well as the Bynum and Mt. Calm game Bynum could not only make the playoffs for first time in along time but have the chance to win a district championship as well

When is the last time Bynum made playoffs oilman ? And just looked at this district . Can Abbott still make the playoffs if they beat aquilla ? Or is there coin flips or what’s it come down to ?

1992 on Bynum and not a 100% I know they go off points in this district. I know if Abbott beats Aquilla and Covington beats Gholson then I believe it's a 3 way tie. But I think the way the points work Abbott would have to win by more than 24 points

The Coaches won't meet at a café for a coin flip, a la Friday Night Lights?

I'm new to all this. Became addicted to sixman because I passed through Strawn on my way to - from Possum Kingdom in the 80's. Met a former cheerleader from there who took me to a Strawn - Gordon game.

Fast paced, addicting. Lot's of people for two such small towns, loud and enthusiastic. A broken leg. Then Clifton getting cursed in 03. Lot's of memories.

Gordon beat Strawn in 03 when the Hounds won their First State Championship, as well as when this happened again in 08.

They did three years ago. GATA, GATA, GATA Hounds.

2008 was pretty big. Gordon won at home 60 - 30. They knocked the Player of the Year to be, Johnny Abobtt, out of the game. After Strawn beat RS in a shootout in Hico they met again. This time the Hounds prevailed 89-58 in the QF on their way to win State.

Are you going to make it to the big game? Stinker should be there too.
