I'm going to try and catch a Buna game this year, i've been hearing good things about them.

Next school year, the Diocese of Corpus Christi will open a new high school, and according to their website, they will begin play in 2008. The John Paul II Centurions will be the only Catholic school football team in Corpus Christi, as Incarnate Word Academy does not offer football. Corpus Christi does have another noteworthy private school football program, however. Annapolis Christian won the 2004 TCAL six-man state championship.

Alvin Creduer was Officially named Lumberton's new Head Coach at the last board meeting!

Speedway says it was jilted in NASCAR conspiracy LEXINGTON, Ky. -- A federal judge ordered Friday that Kentucky Speedway can move ahead with its $400 million antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR. In a 17-page opinion, U.S. District Judge William Bertelsman rejected NASCAR's motions to dismiss the case. He also refused a request by International Speedway, which owns several NASCAR tracks, to be dropped from the lawsuit. The case alleges NASCAR conspired with International Speedway to decide which tracks should be host to coveted Nextel Cup races. Kentucky Speedway, based in Sparta about halfway between Louisville and Cincinnati, was left out, despite better amenities than many of the sites. Even with Bertelsman's ruling, it could be a year or longer before the case goes to trial. He set a deadline of Feb. 1, 2007, to finish "discovery" -- the process of pretrial fact gathering, including interviewing witnesses. "We're very pleased with the decision and we're looking forward to going forward," said Stan Chesley, an attorney representing Kentucky Speedway in the case. In arguments earlier this month, NASCAR's attorneys told the judge the track had no standing to sue because it wasn't trying to assure competition -- as antitrust law guarantees -- but to become part of a monopoly. Chesley said Kentucky Speedway's ultimate goal is to compete directly with NASCAR. In a written statement from NASCAR, spokesman Ramsey Poston expressed disappointment with the ruling but said the organization would "vigorously defend itself." "NASCAR maintains that its sanctioning process is pro-competitive and has been a great benefit to the industry including fans, sponsors, drivers, teams and tracks," Poston said. "On the other hand, the Kentucky Speedway lawsuit, which is seeking a bid system, would likely provide a short-term financial windfall to NASCAR but would be disastrous to the long-term health of the sport." Bertelsman noted courts have long been reluctant to dismiss antitrust complaints before all the facts are gathered. He said the conspiracy claims aren't frivolous and therefore should go forward. International Speedway had argued it at least should be released from the case because it doesn't do business in Kentucky. But Kentucky Speedway pointed out it does conduct business over the Internet, and the judge agreed it falls under the court's jurisdiction.

Amen!

I agree!

I say Buna gets in!

Who wins this District??

I love it!!

UIL admits mistake with Fort Worth ISD Fort Worth district changing By MERCEDES MAYERStar-Telegram Staff Writer When the UIL deems something true, it must be. At least that's what the Fort Worth school district thought Thursday morning when the UIL announced that the city's 11 Class 4A high schools would make up one competition district. But after some research, the UIL and Fort Worth school district realized that the 11-team district violated UIL rules. According to the UIL's realignment policy, a school district with 11 or more schools of similar size should have its schools "assigned to two or more UIL districts." "It's one of those things that if the UIL does it, you're sort of taking for granted that it's allowable," Fort Worth athletic director Herb Stephens said. "Then you get back and look at it and you go, 'Wait a minute.'" UIL athletic director Charles Breithaupt did not return phone calls seeking comment. Stephens said the school district will offer remedies to the the UIL to resolve the issue. Stephens and the school district have been working on various scenarios to correct the problem. Stephens said he expects the school district to give the UIL its input Monday. The UIL's decision could come down that day. The Fort Worth school district is taking into consideration everything from enrollment to geography to the strength of the athletic program to recommend which school or schools move to a different district. Stephens said most likely one or three schools would move to a different district or districts. Moving one school would leave 10 teams in 7-4A, which would be split into two zones. District 6-4A would be the logical choice for taking in a school because it only has seven teams -- Azle, Birdville, Boswell, Brewer, Fossil Ridge, Saginaw and Springtown -- all close geographically. District 5-4A also has seven teams, but it includes teams from Wichita Falls to Denison and would require more travel. Fort Worth's neighbors The Fort Worth school district will probably move one or three teams from its 11-team District 7-4A to one or more of the following districts: District 5-4A (7 teams) Denison, Denton, Denton Guyer, Denton Ryan, Sherman, Wichita Falls, Wichita Falls Rider District 6-4A (7) Azle, Birdville, Boswell, Brewer, Fossil Ridge, Saginaw, Springtown District 8-4A (8) Aledo, Alvarado, Cleburne, Crowley, Everman, Joshua, Mineral Wells, Stephenville
