Your wrong 1991, Leeland Mcelroy was a senior the school year of 1992, but his senior football year was the 1991 game. I know because I was also my senior year at WB, and I played in the game. We beat Central 24-21 with a goal line stance in the closing moments of the game. He was a great running back, but we had junior James Brown at QB. That was the closest anybody came to beating us in the regular season that year. We screed up in the playoffs, but that team COULD'VE been the second state champs at WB and that's no lie.

I spoke with Allen's mother today and she said that the Fort Wayne Wizards are making Allen a starting pitcher this week. He's been doing relief work for them, but now he will be in the starting rotation. Way to go Allen.

La Marque & Nederland are the home teams (west side), Port Neches Groves & Brenham are the visiting teams (east side). They messed up by putting Ned and PNG on opposite sides.

“We have got a long ways to go,†Barbers Hill head coach Don Price said. “We are not as good as West Orange Stark. Our effort was good and the positive was we got to go against somebody different and we have a better idea of where we are at.†The Eagles failed to score against the Mustangs who scored a couple of touchdowns. This week the evaluation process will continue as Barbers Hill travels to Lumberton for the final scrimmage of the year and looks to get the lineup settled for the season opener. “It’s time to shake it out,†Price said. “There weren’t many bright spots against West Orange. We dropped passes and we fumbled the ball at the wrong time. We missed assignments, all of the things you can’t do and win football games.†I got this from the Baytown Sun. Man, Coach Price sure doesn't sound too confident on his BH team this year. Sounds like Kirbyville better close thier mouths on district because you can never count the Stangs out.

Well I'M taking it back on Mexico being the team from the international and going Cauroco sp? They impressed me today

UIL: Berryhill can play By SAM WALLER 2007-08-16 07:00:00 Jamison Berryhill Jamison Berryhill will be allowed to play football for the Permian Panthers, the University Interscholastic league ruled Wednesday. The UIL state executive committee granted Berryhill’s appeal to overturn a District 3-5A executive committee decision that denied him eligibility following his transfer from Midland Christian. The matter was one of eight the state committee dealt with during Wednesday’s meeting in Austin. ECISD executive director for athletics Leon Fuller, who attended the meeting, said the state executive committee announced its ruling without comment. “The general feeling I had from the people that were leaving the room was that this was the right, correct, fair thing to do for the young man,†Fuller said. The decision of the state executive committee is final. Berryhill, a senior running back, is the son of former Ector County Independent School District trustee Renda Berryhill. She vacated her seat last month when the family moved out of her precinct to an eastside residence in the Permian attendance zone. At the time, Renda Berryhill said the move was made so her son could graduate from Permian. “He’s talked about graduating from Permian, like his parents, his whole life,†she said in the July 20 edition of the Odessa American. “It’s time. It’s here. There’s no reason for him not to.†As a junior last year at Midland Christian, Berryhill rushed for 1,540 yards and 28 touchdowns in helping the Mustangs win the TAPPS Division II state championship. Because the Berryhills moved while still retaining ownership of their former residence, questions regarding permanent residency were raised. On Aug. 8, the District 3-5A executive committee denied eligibility to Berryhill and Odessa High student Joseph Limon, who transferred from Permian during the 2006-07 school year. “Sometimes, there are things that are interpreted in all the rules of the UIL and our district, and they kind of intertwine,†said Fuller, who began his job July 16. “I’m not familiar with all the ones we have in our own school district yet. I’m still working on those things.†“Our whole thing in this is to have the kids be able to play if at all possible. We want to eliminate (the chance of) anyone cheating the system, but our goal is to see the kids participate and try to enforce the rules the best we can.†Permian head coach Darren Allman said the matter was never too big of a concern for Berryhill. “Jamison’s take on the deal from the very beginning was if for some reason they didn’t grant eligibility, he wasn’t going anywhere,†Allman said. “He was still going to be a student at Permian High School and be the No. 1 fan and help out however he could. “Contrary to a lot of peoples’ opinions, he didn’t transfer here for athletics. Athletics are only a portion of his life. He has a lot of things going for him other than football.†While the eligibility question has been dealt with, Allman said Berryhill still has to prove himself on the field. “We have a lot of football players and some good ones in the position he plays,†Allman said. “It’s not a guarantee that he’s even going to play for us. I think he’s probably a pretty good player. “His biggest contribution to our team may be his leadership and his character, some of those intangibles. But he didn’t come here expecting a certain amount of playing time or anything to be given to him. He came here because this is where he wanted to go to school.â€

Yeah, I pulled a hami so I'm sitting out a year

Ahhh, but we will have the glass slipper

Thanks

EC by two or three TD's. I don't know alot on Shepherd, but EC is always tough.

Thanks, I always see a water tower with Tarkington on it, but I just figured they went to Cleveland HS since there doesn't appear to be many houses in that area, unless thier off of highway 105

This gonna sound dumb, but where is Tarkington? Is it right before you get to Cleveland?

I think Jasper could go as high as #7 and Silsbee #8 or #9.

They won in 1997 at the Rez :

I meant BOJO, the H is by the B on the keyboard. I have to stay on the straight and narrow now.

Here we go again, I knew LCM was going to be hanging their claw on last year's game. Ya'll beat us congrat's, it will not happen again! Whoopie, go HOBO! :-*

Lufkin is always a tough team, and they will hit you. Get ready for physical scrimmage. Thier district is tough too. It might be in the top five toughest in the state.

In that case, I say LCM goes 1-6 in district, and 2-8 overall. Maybe 3-7 with a win over Kashmere and Lumberton. Sorry, Maybe next year

A big question mark for La Marque this summer will be the eligibility of offensive tackle Brandon Garrett. Garrett, a 6-foot-7, 300-pound tackle, turns 19 over the summer. Per UIL rules, no player can participate in high school football once he turns 19. Jones said he is currently working on presenting a waiver in hopes of the UIL giving Garrett an exemption. But at this point, it is highly unlikely Garrett will be allowed to suit up for the Coogs in August. Garrett’s loss could be a problem for a very inexperienced offensive line that lost four starters from last year’s state championship team. Kerlegan’s mobility will likely be put to the test early, as the Coogs learn on the job up front. Did this guy get his exemption or was he told he couldn't play?

I couldn't help it. I'll make up for it and put money on his books.

Robert Joseph?

My bad, I seen it and thought it was interesting.

Mike Flynt ALPINE, Texas - Mike Flynt was drinking beer and swapping stories with some old football buddies a few months ago when he brought up the biggest regret of his life: Getting kicked off the college team before his senior year. So, one of his pals said, why not do something about it? Most 59-year-olds would have laughed. Flynt's only concern was if he was eligible. Finding out he was, Flynt returned to Sul Ross State this month, 37 years after he left and six years before he goes on Medicare. His comeback peaked Wednesday with the coach saying he's made the Division III team's roster. He could be in action as soon as Sept. 1. Flynt is giving new meaning to being a college senior. After all, he's a grandfather and a card-carrying member of AARP. He's eight years older than his coach and has two kids older than any of his teammates. "I think it was Carl Yastrzemski who used to say, `How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?' I'd be in my late 20s or early 30s, because that's how I feel," said Flynt, who has made a living out of physical fitness. "That's been my approach to this whole thing. I feel that good. I'm just going to find out if I can perform and make a contribution to the team." A longtime strength and conditioning coach at Nebraska, Oregon and Texas A&M, he's spent the last several years selling the Powerbase training system he invented. Clients include school systems and the military. His colorful life story includes being the son of a Battle of the Bulge survivor and having dabbled in gold mines and oil wells -- successfully. Flynt's life was supposed to be slowing down this fall. With his youngest child starting at the University of Tennessee, he and Eileen, his wife of 35 years, are planning to take advantage of being empty-nesters for the first time. Instead, they've moved to this remote patch of West Texas so Flynt can mend an old wound and, he hopes, inspire others. He became emotional discussing his goal of "helping a bunch of young men to make up for those guys that I let down." Then he laughed about the reality that fellow Baby Boomers are getting the most out of his comeback. "People are kind of in awe. They keep comparing me to themselves and where they are physically," he said. "If I can help anyone out by what I'm doing, then it's all worth it." Sul Ross State University Mike Flynt, 59, could be in action as soon as Sept. 1. Flynt's position is still being determined, but he used to play linebacker. Wherever he lines up, he'll likely become the oldest player in college football history. Neither the NCAA or NAIA keeps such a statistic, but research hasn't turned up anyone older than their mid-40s. And even those are rare, for obvious reasons. "I told him he's an idiot," said Jerry Larned, who coached Flynt at Sul Ross in 1969 and counseled him at the start of his comeback. "I said, `Gosh, dang, Mike, you're not 20 years old any more. You're liable to cripple yourself.' He understands all of that. But he has a burning desire to play. ... He is in great physical condition. He still runs a 5-flat 40 and bench presses I-don't-know-what. He's a specimen for 59 years old." Back in the day, Flynt was quite a player. In 1965, he was on the first state championship team at Odessa Permian, the high school featured in "Friday Night Lights." He was offered a partial scholarship at Arkansas when the Razorbacks were among the top teams in the land, but instead went to Ranger Junior College. He wound up at Sul Ross in 1969. An NAIA school then, the Lobos were in the Lone Star Conference with East Texas State, which at the time had future NFL stars Harvey Martin and Dwight White, and Texas A&I, which was starting a two-year run as national champs. The highlight of Flynt's two years at Sul Ross was sticking A&I with its only loss in '69. Flynt was going into his senior year in 1971 when he got into a fight that was far from his first. School officials decided they'd had enough and threw him out of school. He earned his degree from Sul Ross by taking his remaining classes elsewhere. "I actually grieved for more years than I can remember the loss of that senior year," said Flynt, who'd been a team captain and the leading tackler as a junior. "What really got me was I felt that was MY football team and I had let them down. ... I don't know if I ever got over it, but I finally learned to live with it." Then came word of a reunion of former Sul Ross students from the 1960s and '70s. Randy Wilson, who has been best friends with Flynt since they met as college roommates in 1969, talked a bunch of his former teammates into using that event as an excuse to get back together. During several days of reminiscing, Flynt's pain became fresh as ever, especially when one of the guys said their '71 season went down the drain without Flynt. That's when he told them of his remorse. And, he added, "What really gets me is that I feel like I can still play." "You might as well give it a shot," Wilson told him. "The worst thing that can happen is you get your head knocked off and come home." When Flynt returned home to Franklin, Tenn., his wife wasn't as fired up by the idea. "I feel like I'm married to Peter Pan," she said. It took time to accept that instead of joining their daughter at Tennessee's home opener she would be watching her husband hit kids one-third his age. Eventually she came around. They've sold their suburban Nashville home and are now living in Alpine, a town of about 6,000 residents near the Big Bend National Park, a three-hour drive from the nearest major airport. "I told her, for me to know that I can do it and not do it would be worse than losing out the first time," he said. A devout Christian, Flynt sees many religious undertones to his story. He also believes it touts the benefits of strength training. "People have asked me, `Mike, what is the fountain of youth?' Well, it's strength training that builds muscle, increases bone density and burns calories," he said. "It's the one thing you can do in your 90s and benefit from." Just to be clear, Flynt won't be playing football in his 90s. He'll be out of eligibility then. I found this in the Dallas Morning News. I didn't get the photo of him, but this guy is in better shape then most 18 year old college players.

That's insane, just for discussion, does anyone know of any football coaches around here that are "it's football or the highway". For example, the coach makes the kids pick one or the other sport.

This will be a high scoring game. SLC 48, Miami 42
