With that win Rusk is now 11-12 for the season, one more win & they will reach .500 winning %. Has not had a winning record any week of the rankings. That being said the only rankings that Rusk probably cares about is if they win state then they  will be the un deniable #1 team.

Top two pitchers did not play pre-district (surgery and injury) #3 pitcher/short stop broke his leg in the summer and has been limited on the mound and not played in the field. 
Top two are back and are finding their groove. I expect the short stop/#3 will be close to 100% in the next couple of weeks and back in action. This group has 1 goal and could care less about the rankings. As everyone knows it takes a little good fortune to win the whole thing so I’m not about to make a prediction but we are playing our best baseball right now and that’s exactly when we wanted it to happen. Two big games this week against a very good Jasper team so it should be fun.

I’d be thrilled if the one that lost showed up but I’m expecting the other one. 
If things go well for mine and yours respective teams we could be looking at a “rubber match”.

Yeah I hope we play better going forward than the last couple games. I’m sure they will get things rolling again. El Campo isn’t by any means a bad team. Bellville, Sealy , and El Campo are closer in team talent than some may be

Agreed on what Rusk "cares about". Now that Rusk is going to win the district we can definitely see why Rusk has been "ranked". There have been many throughout the year that have questioned "why Rusk was ranked" and that "Carthage, Hudson or Jasper deserved to be ranked but not Rusk". The rank voters knew all along that Rusk is a different team with/without JD Thompson. The district also understands this clearly now and that Rusk is the best team in the district.

I definitely expect the "Thursday" team to show up against JD on Tuesday. Will be interesting to see how they fare against Circle but he is no easy pass either.  

Mason Cirkle doesn’t get much attention behind JD but I would give him the ball against anybody. There aren’t many #2’s better in my opinion

First poll I have seen in 35 years that ranks teams in a weekly poll based on wins they might have gotten with missing player philosophy & not weekly win/loss record, strength of schedule & overall wins/loses.

I think they just rank them on how good they think the team is. Example: Rusk are the District Champions despite the W/L record. All of the teams in the district that have better W/L records finished behind Rusk in the standings and are "in actuality" not as good of a team as Rusk. Also, the "rankers" believe that Rusk is likely to make a decent run in the playoffs despite their W/L record. They believe that "when it counts" (such as district) Rusk will be among the better teams.

Must be some new woke liberal voters in this one poll🙃

So you’re saying the left is right. I didn’t peg you as a libtard. 

Nope, saying rank a team on its actual record each week from start to finish.

      NIH Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”!

      By Reagan · Posted

      In a video released Monday, Raja Cholan, a top official at the U.S. National Library of Medicine under the NIH, admitted to an undercover OMG operative he doubts jab efficacy and hasn’t “gotten the latest COVID shots and I’m not going to.”  “I PROBABLY SHOULDN’T BE SAYING THIS OUT LOUD;” Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”. "I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.” Adds, "We're all going to learn [about vaccine safety] when it's too late," as Pfizer & Moderna "are just getting a bunch of money… Vaccines were accelerated through the approval.” ‘We fly under the radar of being scrutinized…I don't think I have too much to worry about.’ Trump victory “worse for the NIH.” “It would be better for a Democrat to be in office.” WOW!!!!

      Newsom Proof

      By baddog · Posted

      The same reason you worry about Trump more than anything else. Why do trolls like yourself start threads like your Soros hedge fund thread and you never come back to…..just bait. Newsom might make a run for president in 2028. People need to know about his policies. You don’t think that’s important?

      Newton vs Daingerfield

      By Newtonres75-86 · Posted

      I like Newton’s chances here. I’ve watched  videos of Daingerfield what few I could get. Their big Qb scares me a little he looks Ike a good athlete. I think for a change Newton has a little more speed than the Tigers. That Samuel kid for Newton can move., and it goes without saying about Porter. That Hunter kid ain’t bad either. They scared me to death with their pass defense against Edgewood until I saw the video. That Qb for Edgewood can put it on a dime. And, his receivers could catch it. I’m pumped; this is the most fun time of the year for me. Go Eagles.🦅 I have to add this though. I watched the State game between the tigers and Yoe in 2010. Those guys looked like grown men playing as opposed to kids now a days who look like boys.😂 that was a heck of a good game.
