If Gonzales started last year then he has the advantage. As far as the "both good Qbs and Sonnier has been playing Qb just as long as Gonzales has" statement, it doesn't seem possible. Sonnier may have been a QB but not at the Varsity level.

I don't have a finalist list but I do have a few video clips. Heat 1 110H Prelim Heat 2 110H Prelim Heat 1 400m Prelim Heat 2 300H Prelim

Sounds like it is settled then...If you have the work ethic and the brains it is no problem. Reschedule the Baseball game so the kids can participate in both.

I think usually you have to be a thrower.... I think :-\ That is correct, typically. On the other hand if no one checks... Case in point tin the video posted above one team had only one member who wa actually a thrower.

Sheperd and Tarkington are half teams--together they make one Ain't that Algebra??

How many returners will BH have? Names and Positions....

D. Wright, J. Baker, T. Hill, and A. Ripkowski

I guess Crosby loses all control when they finally beat Dayton at something!

Just dont skimp on equipment it will end up costing more in the end. Cheap reels will make you lose arrows that ain't cheap. Go ahead and buy the good stuff. [Hidden Content]

Bad deal for the boys, 1 year as a combined school and their coach is already leaving! I hope they find a good replacement.

I think your right.

No sir, compliments of Chron.com photo gallery.

They both ran the same heat in the 300 Hurdles at TSU this weekend. Maybe this week at Rice, but for sure at the district meet on April 16th. Casey ran a 37.65 to take 2nd and Lacour ran a 38.50 to take 7th in the 300 hurdles final.

Congrats!!

Anybody going?

Bill Sweeten of Yantis caught ShareLunker No. 468 from Lake Fork March 16. The fish weighed 14.43 pounds and was 26.75 inches long and 21.5 inches in girth.

Game Warden Field Notes The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports. Banged-up and busted: On March 4 a game warden lieutenant was on his way to his regional office when he drove up on a traffic accident that had just occurred. While the lieutenant was checking on the passenger of one of the vehicles, the driver threw out several small bags of marijuana. The lieutenant collected the evidence and turned it over to DPS. Hot work: On Feb. 27, while patrolling around the Delta Lake area, a Hidalgo County game warden came across an individual who had driven his vehicle off into a ditch. The game warden was calling for a tow truck when he noticed the van catch fire. The game warden was able to remove the elderly man from the vehicle to safe distance and call for the fire department. The game warden was able to keep traffic from venturing through the burning area until fire-rescue personnel showed up to extinguish the blaze. Lost and found: On Feb. 24, a Dimmit County game warden received phone call from the sheriff’s office about a 911 call relating to a hunter who was lost on a 38,000-acre ranch near the Dimmit and La Salle county line. The game warden contacted a colleague, who was able to contact the hunter by cell phone. The hunter sounded extremely tired and panicked. The hunter’s truck had broken down around 7:00 p.m., and it was now 11:00 p.m. The hunter’s partner, who was suppose to wait at the truck, had successfully walked back to camp and realized his buddy was not there but was unable to help since it was his first time on the ranch and he did not have keys to any vehicles. The lost hunter was eventually located at around 1:00 a.m. with the help of lights and sirens and the cell phone. He was returned to camp without injury. The hunter stated he thought he knew the ranch well enough to take a short cut across the pasture but got turned around. Netter invasion: On Feb. 24, Val Verde County game wardens seized 300 feet of gill net from the Texas side of the Rio Grande and returned numerous fish to the water. The wardens were working several miles above the Pecos River when they located the net. Whodunnit? Must have been a game warden: A number of District 1 and District 2 game wardens participated and assisted with the Who Dunnit Camp at the Department’s "Life’s Better Outside" event at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. Wardens reversed their roles as game wardens and posed as hunters at a mock hunting camp. Hundreds of participants ranging from kids to grandparents enjoyed playing the part of a game warden and discovering several violations at the camp, including a stolen weapon, a weapon with a silencer, an improperly tagged set of antlers, an ice chest with deer meat beyond quartering, feathers and talons of a protected bird, undersized fish on a stringer, illegal fishing devices, and a bag of illegal narcotics. Oysters on the half-ton: On Feb. 23, Galveston County game wardens caught a commercial oyster fisherman who was storing oysters in the back of his truck overnight. This is a violation of the Health & Safety Code, which requires commercial oysters to be refrigerated within 18 hours of harvest. The State Department of Health Services was contacted and 21 sacks of oysters were destroyed. Case pending. Officer! Follow that boat! On February 22, Webb County game wardens were checking for water safety compliance on Lake Casa Blanca. After checking several boats, the wardens were approached by a fisherman and his daughter. The man said that a maroon and white ski boat was driving recklessly. He said the boat passed by him so closely that it pulled line off his reel and rocked his boat violently. He said he also noticed that the boat had several small children in it, and the adults appeared to be drinking beer. The wardens began looking for the boat and were stopped by another fisherman who complained about the same boat. The wardens located the boat and stopped it to perform a water safety inspection. Upon pulling up to the boat, the wardens noticed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. Float tests were performed, and the wardens escorted the driver to shore for standardized field sobriety tests. The man indicated multiple clues on each test. The driver was arrested for BWI, refused a breath analysis, and was transported to the Webb County Jail. Case pending. It could have been worse: On Feb. 22, Victoria County game wardens were patrolling Lavaca Bay when they came across a boat that was high and dry on a sand bar. There were no occupants seen in the boat, but one was found on a spoil island a hundred yards away. The owner of the boat was found uninjured and transported to the boat ramp where his vehicle was located. He was grateful for the ride to the boat ramp. Bad luck gets worse: On Feb. 21, Throckmorton and Shackelford County game wardens were working hog hunters in Haskell County when they began to follow a truck that was driving very erratically. After running on the wrong side of the road for about a ¼-mile, the truck was stopped. The driver was given field sobriety tests, which he failed. He stated that he had a few drinks because he was having a bad run of luck. The subject was arrested for DWI and turned over to the local trooper. His bad luck continues. Those cast nets work real good: On Feb. 21, Webb County game wardens were checking fishermen near the Lakeside Subdivision on Lake Casa Blanca. The wardens noticed three men walking away from the shoreline. The men were carrying cast nets, and one of the males was carrying a stringer with several fish. The wardens asked the men if they had any more fish, and the men retrieved a cooler from the back of one of the trucks. In all, the men had netted nine tilapia, three undersized crappie, and one 22-inch bass. Fortunately, the bass was still alive and was able to be released back into the lake. The wardens asked the men for fishing licenses and identification. The men said they did not have either. The fish and three cast nets, one being 15 feet in diameter, were seized. Wouldn’t a license have been cheaper? Feb. 20, while checking bank fishermen at Lake Benbrook, a Tarrant County game warden observed two men fishing, each holding a fishing pole. When the game warden approached the two men, only one was fishing, and the second fishing pole was gone. The other subject later admitted to throwing his pole in the water because he did not have a fishing license. Case pending. Gumshoe work leads to dumping charges: On Feb. 13, a Palo Pinto County game warden discovered paint cans that had been illegally dumped. Using the paint codes on the cans, game warden visited the paint store and found the owner’s name and address. After visiting with the resident, the game warden filed on the two subjects the home owner had hired to paint his house. Cases pending. [Hidden Content]=

The good part about that country is a little water goes along way. It will be nice and green in a week or so.

Anybody going Spring Turkey hunting? I will be hunting in Halletsville opening week.

Media Contact: Larry Hodge, 903-676-2277, [email protected] March 6, 2009 Babying Big Bass How you handle a lunker impacts its chances of survival. ATHENS, Texas—One of the biggest factors that influences the survival of fish entered into the ShareLunker program is how those fish are handled and cared for prior to being picked up by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) employees. ShareLunker handling and care tips on the TPWD web site emphasize minimal contact with the fish and keeping it in a stress-free environment as much as possible. Removing the fish from the livewell or holding tank for photographs stresses the fish, increases the chance the fish will get fungal infections where touched and multiplies the risk of serious injury such as a broken jaw. All big bass are powerful, but anglers who have never tried to hold a fish weighing 13 pounds or more may be surprised at how strong the fish is and how hard it is to control. "We have all seen pictures of bass being held up with one hand grasping the lower jaw," says Jim Matthews, hatchery manager at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens, which is home to the ShareLunker program. "Doing this with a lunker bass will almost ensure a serious injury to the fish’s jaw." As the person in charge of caring for ShareLunkers while they are at TFFC, biologist Juan Martinez sees all the problems that arise from improper handling. "Over-handling stresses the fish," he says. "If anglers would just take one or two pictures and then leave the fish alone, it might not get as stressed. Other problems we see are fish coming in with missing scales or scrapes, which might come from being held in a wire basket or small container, from spawning activity or brushing against trees." Martinez agrees with Matthews that broken jaws on fish are usually caused by the fish being held incorrectly when being landed or photographed. "A misconception is that the mouth of a fish with a broken jaw will remain open," he says. "This is not always the case. If the jaw is broken in the middle and not where the jaw is connected to the skull, the mouth will remain closed. This type of injury is common when fish are held in a vertical position with the lower body not being supported." David Campbell, ShareLunker program manager, offers the following tips for handling big bass to avoid injuring them. Wet your hands before touching the fish. Using your dominant hand, grip the fish with your thumb inside the mouth and your fingers locked on the outside of the mouth. Support the rear of the fish with your other hand placed beneath the fish just forward of the tail. Lift the fish out of the water in a horizontal position using both hands for support. DO NOT hold the fish by the lower jaw in a vertical position. This can dislocate or break the jaw, practically guaranteeing the fish will not survive, since it will not be able to eat. Handle the fish only when putting it into a livewell or holding tank. Do not keep the fish out of water or keep removing it from the water for photographs. "Remember that the fish has to be in the water to be able to breathe," Campbell says. "The fish is already stressed by being caught and put into a different environment, and holding it out of the water increases the stress level. This may develop into a serious medical condition, and one to three weeks later, the fish may die. Taking photos is okay if everyone gets ready before the fish is removed from the water and is put back within thirty seconds." If you must handle the fish, try to do so out of the wind and keep it out of water as little as possible. Wind can dry out the eyes very quickly and result in damage. A 13- or 14-pound bass is the equivalent of a 170-class whitetail buck, with the difference being that the buck goes on the wall, while the fish, if properly handled and cared for, can live to continue to produce more fish. Anglers who want to continue to have the opportunity to catch big bass can improve their chances by treating those big bass like babies. ——— On the Net: [Hidden Content] ShareLunker 464 Image: [Hidden Content] ShareLunker 463 Image: [Hidden Content] ShareLunker 460, 461 Images: [Hidden Content] ShareLunker 459 Image: [Hidden Content]
