:'( Somebody is still upset about the little matter of the Dayton scoring 55 and Lumberton 7 last year.

Don't worry the visitors side ain't that high.

True, death to the infidels.

Able Ammo in Huntsville is the cheapest. Their shipping is reasonable.

TEXAS DOVE SPECIES White-winged dove (Zenaida asiatica) Identification Tips: • Length: 10 inches • Sexes similar • Adult similar to juvenile • Large, chunky dove • Fairly long, black bill • Pale blue, teardrop-shaped orbital ring to eye • Pale gray-brown head, neck, back, belly, and upperwings, with darker brown primaries • Long dark mark on lower face below eye • Purplish iridescence on neck • Bold white wing patch, visible at rest, formed by pale secondary coverts • Long tail is slightly rounded at tip • Dark brown tail with white corners bordered above by black line Similar species: The Rock Dove is superficially similar but lacks white wing patches, tail pattern, and blue orbital ring of White-winged Dove.

Yep, I think that is the plan.

Will ya'll stay 4A?

Thats alot of starters back, they should do better this year. But, its hard to understand why they didn't do better last year.

[glow=red,2,300]No need to thank me for this heads up. It's just how I roll.[/glow] Click this link for Outdoor Video Heaven. [Hidden Content] Come to think of I will gladly accept any thank you's. ;D

Congrats! Ford has one speed, "wide-open", excellent athlete, very intense player.

I can tell you the Dayton boys that might be in the running this year. 1. Paul Fontenot 2. A.J. Dugat 3. Ronnie Powell

;D Well it might have been more than 1 point if we hadn't had like 5 turnovers. Anyway 1 point was enough ;D. I hope it is as competitive this year as it was last year.

Hate to hear about the infection but ,I sure am glad you are bathing more often. ;D

Anybody use RIO ammo before? Dove loads, Duck loads?

Buna handle HD easily last year. HD is gonna be better this year though, older more experience in keu positions. I like HD.

Thats what a forum is about, input. You are gonna get that, for better info you might just have to call a coach. ;D

Texas A&M, I believe.

Here a little Teal Info. Bluewing Teal Description Male blue-winged teal have a slate gray head and neck, a black edged white crescent in front of the eyes and a blackish crown. The breast and sides are tan with dark brown speckles and there is a white spot on the side of the rump. Most of the upper wing coverts are blue-gray, the secondaries form an iridescent green speculum, and the underwing is whitish. The bill is black and the legs and feet are yellowish to orange. The male has a thin whistled tsee tsee uttered both in flight and when on water. Female blue-winged teal have a brownish-gray head with a darker crown and eye-stripe. The breast and sides are brown, the upper parts are olive brown, and the upper wing coverts are bluish, but less vibrant than the drake. The bill is gray-black and the legs and feet are dull yellow-brown. The female has a high-pitched squeak. Breeding Blue-winged teal breed primarily in the northern prairies and parklands of central North America. Their relative abundance generally increases from west to east and north to south within the prairie pothole region. Nesting habitat includes wetland areas within grasslands, such as shallow marshes, sloughs, flooded ditches, and temporary ponds. Females change breeding sites from year to year in response to changing wetland conditions and lay an average of 10 eggs. Migrating and Wintering Blue-winged teal are generally the first ducks south in the fall and the last north in the spring. They migrate from the prairie pothole region to wintering areas in Florida, the Caribbean Islands, the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana, Mexico, and Central and South America. Wintering habitats are diverse, including mangrove swamps, fresh and brackish estuaries, and shallow wetlands. In the USA, the highest winter densities occur in southern Texas and peninsular Florida. Blue-winged teal are common in winter from Central America, the Caribbean and South America south to Peru and northeastern Brazil. They also stay regularly in small numbers in the Galapagos Islands, and are vagrants to Chile, southeastern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. (Scott and Carbonell, 1986) Population The 2001 breeding population survey for blue-winged teal was 5.8 million birds. This is a 23% decrease from last year's record estimate of 7.4 million, but above the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) goal of 4.7 million. Blue-winged teal have the highest annual mortality rate (reaching 65%) of all the dabbling ducks, possibly as a result of hunting and long over-ocean migration. Food habits Blue-winged teal dabble to feed on vegetative parts of aquatic plants (algae, duckweeds, pondweeds, etc.), seeds (sedges, pondweeds, grasses, etc.), and large amounts of aquatic invertebrates found in shallowly flooded wetlands. Greenwing Teal (thats a bluewing in the middle between a Greenwing Drake and hen) Description Green-winged teal are the smallest of our North American ducks with a short neck and small bill. Male green-winged teal have a chestnut head with an iridescent green to purple patch extending from the eyes to the nape of the neck. The chest is pinkish-brown with black speckles, and the back, sides, and flanks are vermiculated gray, separated from the chest by a white bar. The wing coverts are brownish-gray with a green speculum. The bill is dark slate and the legs and feet are dark gray. Male has a distinctive high-pitched "preep-preep." Female green-winged teal are mottled brown with a dark brown line that extends from the bill through the eye. The bill is dark gray and the legs and feet are olive-gray to brownish-gray. Relatively silent but has a sharp, high "quack" when flushed. Breeding Green-winged teal, formerly Anas crecca carolinensis, breed from Alaska, across Canada, into the Maritime Provinces, south into central California, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. They prefer small and shallow permanent ponds near boreal forests and with an abundance of emergent vegetation, but also nest in prairie pothole country or in areas with dense emergent vegetation. Female green-winged teal lay an average of 8 to 9 eggs. The green-winged teal is currently split into the eurasian teal Anas crecca (which, breeds in the Aleutian Islands and the Pribilofs) and the green-winged teal (now Anas carolinensis). Migrating and Wintering Green-winged teal have an extensive wintering range, having been recorded as far north as Alaska and Newfoundland and as far south as northern South America. They are most abundant along the Mississippi Flyway, where the coastal marshes and rice fields of Louisiana and Texas provide ideal habitat. Tidal creeks and freshwater marshes associated with estuaries are favored over more saline or open-water habitats. Green-winged teal are common winter visitors to Central America and the northern Caribbean, and occasionally south to Colombia (Scott and Carbonell, 1986). Population: The 2001 breeding estimate was approximately 2.5 million birds, which is 39% above the long-term average. Food habits: Green-winged teal feed on seeds of sedges, smartweeds, pondweeds, and grasses, aquatic insects, mollusks, crustaceans and tadpoles found while foraging in and adjacent to mudflats or while dabbling in shallow water.

Opening Day September 15th Break out the skeeter dope and shotguns! ;D

Opening Day September 1st Start warming up!

;D ;D

Gable would have been a freshman that year. I would say he is a little different now.

Good point, but there aren't many games that wouldn't be good in the district.

Crosby, but BH won't go down easy and I will go out on a limb and say C.E. King is going to make a showing this year. Coach Malkowski over there is a good guy, if he can get talent to match his intensity they could become a force in 21-4A.

When you are talking about potential, there is alot of it in this district. Derrick Hall is going to get his yards, the boy can flat run. I don't know about the best but, Hussey from Lumberton and Gutierrez from Nederland are hosses. John Gable should do well for Dayton.
