Tarkington vs. Evadale moved to Thursday 8/25, 7pm @ Hardin High School Field

[AggiesAreWe]

This game has been moved to Thursday night, 7pm. Game still in Evadale.

Game was moved because of lack of game officials.

 

I see this happening often this season for smaller classifications until district play starts.

Evadale probably the favorite based on returning exp. & last years solid season

Returning Starters -  Offense- 7  Defense- 7

2022 INFO

Despite being an extremely young team under first-year head coach Jay Buckner, the Rebels made the playoffs and earned a playoff win last year. 2022 could bring more success as only seven seniors from that team graduated. WR/DB- Jody Isbell and WR/DB- Ethan Buford (14-365, 5 TDs receiving) are the top skill players returning, while DL- Casey Lewis (87 tackles, 4 sacks) is back and will lead the defense. Coach Buckner says despite the returning experience of 7 starters on each side of the ball, his team still has some youth, most notably in the trenches.

I would tend to agree here because Tarkington is so young. Most of their impact players are Sophmores. Coach Taylor and his staff are working really hard with these kids, it's nice to see a little excitement in the area about football again. I think it will take them a couple games and a few more weeks of practice to get something really started. Most of these kids are still trying to learn the system. My hat's off to Coach Taylor though in what he's trying to do here. Hopefully the community, the decision makers and most importantly the kids give him a chance to build something here.

I heard this game was being moved to another location, is that true?

TARKINGTON INFO

After a winless 2021 season, the Longhorns will look to bounce back under a new head coach Chad Taylor in 2022. Tarkington will return six starters on both sides of the ball with the offense being led by sophomore WR- Junior Ma’Alaelu, who started all nine games as a freshman. He could have a breakout season, especially if junior QB- Stephen Pavlat adjusts quickly to the new scheme. RB- Brandon Pitty has good size and speed. TE/LB- Brandon Bullock, OL/DL- Nathan Wells & OL/DL- Dylan James are expected to be major contributors on both sides of the ball.
