Easy trip my hind foot! I just read where Lake Travis is back in the D2 line up! YIKES!! put your glasses back on they are division I. I'm sorry man, but there are 2 other schools that went Div. 1 that are bigger than Lake Travis. Just look up the UIL web page. [Hidden Content] The link you reference clearly has Lake Travis listed in Division I Region 4 playing Austin Johnson in the first round.

The Permian hit was big, but he blocked the wrong guy.

You are the only dad on here that is worried about an eight grade quarterback job. If what you say is true what happened this year with the new coaches? Is the best player playing? I know football, i know the ninth grade team, and I know the best quarterback is not even playing quarterback (his choice). I know what your point was early and it is a valid point to some degree. In league athletics which I have been a part of for many years you will see favortism depending on the coach. In my experience I would say it is more the exception than the rule. In organized Jr. High and High school sports I would say it happens much much less. A coach's livelyhood depends on his ability to win and develop kids not make parents happy. In the case of 7th grade through JV the coach is going to play the kid with the most upside. If one kid has talent but not the desire, attitude, or mind to improve and progress then a kid with more potential for the Varsity level should start. It has been that way for many years and will continue to do so. I know that you are Hardin boy and you guys don't have that problem in Hardin, but the only reason you don't is because you only have enough players to actually play. I am not personally from Liberty and as I said before your point has a small amount of validity, but it is no different in any other town this size. It is fortunate for you that you don't have a son playing for Liberty any longer. I hope your nephew does pan out to be a stud and he gets all the playing time and coaching that he deserves.

Bushpilot talking about an eight grade player period on here is classless. It sounds like you have an opinion about who you think should have been starting. I can understand that, but remember you are talking about Jr High and High school kids. Your opinion of their perfromance or ability would best be left to yourself. I know you are not the only one that talks about players and you didn't call anyone out by name, but this sight should be about friendly rivalries and the has beens that pay attention to high school football. It should not be about calling out players.

Wasn't CHOCHE on Happy Days? Joannie loves Choche Water sucks it really really sucks. Imimim dadada wadaboy.

Dibol and Kirbyville both have very good Freshman teams. They have running backs that were studs last year at the eighth grade level. If they improve with age they will be impresive.

I don't think I would give that much credit to the Hardin run defense. They did not do a very good job last year against Crawford and others, and Liberty had a lot of succes up the middle in the scrimmage. They held them well on the outside though. I wish I was able to be there for this game. I don't have any ties to either school but it sounds like it should be a hell of a fight.

Nice Honest post. I believe the A-Z train talk will subside for a while, maybe until the playoff who knows. If not in a couple of years with another realignment. The "Bronchos" look dang good and I got OCT 10th and OCT 17th marked on the calendar.

Choo Choo It's a shame that the D-Train and L-Train talk is only over a scrimmage. It is also a shame it will probably die out after a shameful beat down. Well maybe in two years after another realignment we can stoke the engine again and bust the L-train off the track.

I was at the game as well. I also don't have a dog in the race and hope both teams do well. What I saw was a Liberty team that was not able to pass or protect the quarterback well. They also could not run the ball on the outside. They were able to run the ball down Hardin's throat with consistency. This was Hardin's Achilles heal last year and is how Gilmer beat them fairly easily. The Hardin offense did pass the ball well, but they were not able to run the ball except for the one play by Mitch V. The Liberty secondary did not look very good especially the cornerbacks. There were several plays that they had a chance to make something happen and Hardin ended up with large gains. The Hardin D has to be able to stop the run up the middle. I saw the comments from Haynes that he was upset Liberty ran counters. I would think that should have been an eye opener on what he needed to work on. All in all I though both teams looked like they just played their first scrimmage. I am sure there coaches saw that they both have a lot to work on. It is intersting to see the different views of the game from the fans. I hope the enthusiasm stays positive and everyone does well. The Liberty/Hardin kids all pretty much know each other, and it should be a fun time to strap on the helmet and knock each other around a little.

7 Mary we need to plan on making the trip. I can use a good smile.
