Anyone have suggestions on a stat tracking app for HS football? I've come across iScore, MaxStatsFB12 and iTouchStats Football but haven't tried them. Used the iScore baseball app this Spring and loved it.

It was a time limit game and he was home team, behind, had 2 outs with about a minute to go.  Was trying to start another inning.  If his foot was on the plate while a pitch was thrown, is it considered a strike?

Saw this over the weekend.  Coach tells his hitter to go up and put one foot ON the plate.  Kid does.  Pitcher throws a couple over before batter hits one into right field(while with one foot on the plate).  I thought if a player makes contact with a ball with his foot on the plate then he is out.  I questioned the umpire after the game and he said part of his foot was in the batter's box so he wasn't breaking any rules.  I thought both feet had to be within the batter's box.  What's the correct call?  Is it a strike if the kid is standing on the plate and does not swing, no matter the location?

Batter hits a line drive that hits the top edge of the first base bag and pops straight up in the air.  The first baseman comes over and makes the catch before the ball hits the ground.  The batter continues and runs through the bag.  The first baseman does not tag the bag because he catches it in the air.  Is the runner safe or is it a pop out since it never hits the ground?

Final?

Couple of things to point out that I haven't seen yet. 1st= at the smaller schools, your athletic kids are playing all sports. Not just one. At the larger schools, don't most of these kids usually concentrate on one sport year around? 2nd= in order to truly judge this, shouldn't you be looking at the percentage of kids that go on to the next level based on school population? If you have 1 kid out of 300 students at the 2A high school make it to the next level, wouldn't that be the same as 5 kids out of a 1500 school pop playing at the college level? I would say check your percentages and this will tell you if small school is equal to big school. Not knowing which off hand, I would say that they are pretty close to equal. Athletes can be found at all levels. There are more at larger schools naturally because of the numbers. Now all things considered, I can see where recruiters or coaches may spend more time at 4-5a schools. Maybe it's because of the percentages or maybe these kids are playing at a higher level because there are more players of quality on that team to raise their game or they play all somewhere year around. I will not believe though that you must leave the numbers out like you stated in the very first post.

Anybody have the brackets for the D1 and D2

What Tourney is this or is it just a single game

I Have seen Normangee play against Lovelady and they are ethat good. QB and WR are twins. QB can throw and run the ball. Very quick and will scan the field when passing.

Centerville defeats Kountze in 3, 25-15, 25-13, 25-15

Centerville defeats Warren in 4 games, 25-12, 25-9, 23-25, 25-11

Heard this was a Thursday game

Centerville is as tough as they come. Got a great coach and some very good players. Have beaten 4A and maybe a few 5A teams this year. Beat Cleveland Tarkington in 3 in a warm-up Monday. Beat Huntsville earlier this year. Lost in the state tournament last year to Poth I believe.

Al good but not close to this one we broadcast on the radio in 2003 Centerville 82 Groveton 48. The highest scoring game of 2003

'Twas the Morning After Realignment 'Twas the morning after realignment and all through my house, Not a creature dare stirred, not even the mouse; The day before was still fresh on my mind, As not even Jack Daniels could help me unwind; The family still tucked all snug in there bed, As I tried to clean the cobwebs out of my head. As I think back to yesterday I still can't believe; That the UIL would do what they just did to me; A team from afar, a state champ from last season, Has just joined our district, UIL is just teasing; A loss of 10 students is the reason they say, For the current state champ of once 3 now 2A; And if that didn't kick me square in the rear, We kept the state finalists that smoked us last year; Eight teams they say, that's what you shall get, Eight teams I repeat, as I kick my wife's pet; A cakewalk is what we have prayed for each night, A swim with the sharks is instead what's in site; A district comprised of greatness to remember, Six out of these eight were still playing late December; I call the group in for a morning of reflection, Instead what I get sounds more like rejection; What will we do to ease our guy's pain? Can we cancel one due to a hurricane? Let's look at the schedule I hear one coach shout, We may have a chance here since grades will come out; Homecoming will give us a little more bite, And the 1A that moved up will fit there just right; I hear we have a move in from 5A Katy Taylor, And the new coach we are hiring has a junior all-stater! Let's try the slant defense to throw them off key, Maybe run the old offense that worked in 83; We'll grow the grass long to knock down their speed, And we'll water it good and we won't throw out seed; Let's find that old scanner to hear all their plays, Or scramble their headsets with high frequency waves; "I think we can do it" as all our eyes glowed, Now we just need to figure how to win on the road! Good luck fellas, there's always a bright side ....... oldwiseone
