Go Horns Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 The Orange leader over looked Ryan Jones of Kirbyville on the Second Team Academic All State Team! Just an oversight I'm sure the list is hard to read. There are many other Players on the list in all classification Congradulation to all these kids.
