One case does not shut down anything. Most schools play on! Alto ISD "follows all state and local protocols, expectations, and policies in regards to safety of our students, staff, and community during our current situation." The bottom line is Winona did not want to play and it should be a forfeit; it will be in district. Their sub-varsity teams showed up to play but were turned around by their administration ten minutes before kick-off. The timing reeks. Our players, cheerleaders (big huge run-through sign!), band (brand new show!), and flags have worked their butts off all week preparing for what we in Alto consider to be A MUST: Friday night football in Texas!....not to mention the Thursday night players and cheerleaders who were on the field ready to go with parents, grandparents, and fans en-route to the games. There was no opportunity to find a replacement game on such short notice. Some schools don't give a rip if they play or not, but our community does care. And when a game is taken away from our kids we really do take it personally. And when some folks (and you know who you are) are working behind the scenes to try and sabotage us, we take that personally, too. Our school and community have been through a lot over the years and overcome a lot, too! We are strong. We are grounded. We are workers. We are family. We are tradition. And we always come together in the hardest of times. WE ARE ALTO. Loss of life, tornadoes, Covid, you name it. We will do what we always do: overcome the hard times, give God the glory, and press on! It's more than just a game here. On to San Augustine..... STING 'EM!

Most programs, if not all (if they are being 100% honest) have a few positive cases. Cmon everyone knows it’s ex-Alto coaches now in Frankston still butt-hurt from getting fired are the ones who made the “anonymous” call. And instead of basing decisions off of facts from upper Alto administration, Winona goes with un-named caller. I’m NOT from Alto but I am a fan. Let the boys play or cancel your season & give them time to reschedule so you don’t do this to another group of boys who just want to play some ball.

Damnit,that burns a little..feeling sad for our Alto BROTHERS...chain out

Covid sure is convenient for loser schools who are afraid to play

Was looking forward to battling the jackets like ole times, this suks

Well said

I guess that guarantees they won't go 0-10. That is one way to do it.

because we live in a society of delicate men who are led by Karen's

tiktok and all OTHER chinese apps should be banned here......they are nothing but information and intel gatherers for the communists............

This game only made both teams better for upcoming district games.

EF has a salty team. Good luck the rest of the season jackets

Good game DF EF made some costly mistakes in this one.

Good game DF hopefully see you in Playoffs

Congrats on the win DF, it's was a good hard fought game. Good luck the rest of the year.

C'mon ref lol, that was not roughing the passer

14-13 SH at half. SH scored on a methodical 1st drive, threw a pick 6 on the second drive, fumbled on the 3rd & 4th drives, turned over on downs at the Anna 3 yard line on the 5th drive, and scored on the 6th drive right before half. If we eliminate half the mistakes we win going away. If we play like we did most of the first half it will be a struggle.

Semantics, Barry. "Amending" is not "re-writing". Unless maybe I'm being over-pedantic.

That is a great question. Why would a team drive all the way from Winona to Alto and refuse to get off the bus and play a game? If they had no intention of playing, why make the trip? Our school has followed all protocols and is clear to play. This is on Winona. And what about my statement is false? Canton has had a positive case and played football. Timpson had a coach in quarantine last week and played ball. I’m sure there are multiple schools who have similar situations. I agree with txdun. If a team is going to NOT PLAY because of one or two cases (etc etc), they might as well cancel their season right now. And say what you will about Winona being scared to play or not being scared, the fact of the matter is they did not play. Or return a phone call/text for that matter.

If a program is going to shut down for 1 case they may as well cancel the whole season.

Oh no. Well dang. Sorry to hear that man. Do whatcha can with whatcha got. Good luck! And good on y’all for actually PLAYING the game.

https://www.youtube.com/user/mrrosseg This is the link y’all want. You’re welcome.

I probably won't be watching regardless, thanks to the Dish/FOX dispute. Been off all week.

And welcome back after a 10-year hiatus!

Sad thing is...they are.

If I am not mistaken this game last year was what got the old DC fired and EF was a different team the rest of the year last year and got more physical as the year went on. Fast forward to this year and it’s carried over and even been improved on since the playoffs last year. EF might lose tonight but DF will respect EF by the time it’s over and both teams going to need a ice bath cause it’s going to be some serious Hitting tonight better buckle both straps and I can’t wait ! #JacketPride

Very well said !! Hate it for the boys, cheerleaders, band & community. The Jackets will be working extra hard this coming week I bet ....built up energy !!

Very well said !!

Here are some relevant facts about the two candidates. Who do ya like?

The game is being Produced and broadcast by BBP Media and hosted on the Texarkana Gameday page. It is not produced by Texarkana Gameday. BBP is run by the Video Production teacher at Paul Pewitt and uses the help Pewitt students. I agree that Texarkana Gameday does a GREAT job, but want to make sure credit is given for the Paul Pewitt production where it is due.

I hear ya. Why not just follow UIL protocols. The protocols are already over-written to CYA. I don't see why districts feel the need to shut down the whole program for one student or even one player. Follow the protocols and play ball.

I talked about this the other day--remember. But it is good that you found an article to reinforce what was commented on. I appreciate your hard investigative exertion. I know you think it is a bad thing, but hey, they were warned, the Chinese did not like the warning, so they get what they deserve. Now maybe my daughters will get a life, clean their bedrooms, make their beds, and mow the yard for me. LOL. (Liked I let them drive my lawnmower).

Lol at the pearl clutching over the "brawl." Geez people... it was messy, the coaches handled it, it's over. Quit trying to make it a dadgum scandal.

I to was at that game. Not from either school. Just like seeing good games that time of year. It's amazing that one person can see a 16-18 year old young man in the heat of the game telling a teammate what his mistake was and what he has to do to not let it happen again, and another person see's screaming and in-fighting among players. I thought both teams handle their self very well. One had to lose one had to win . Both have a fine tradition and have won a State Championship before. Sometimes when some schools get close but can't get over the hump and win it all it seems all their fans can do is find some way to rip the ones that do one way or another.

Go to Walmart and get some paint. Throw paint on wall. Watch it dry. Same thing.

I've been very impressed with Texarkana Gameday. Those guys do an amazing job. For HS football, it's about as quality a production as you'll find anywhere in the state.

Probably because it’s too late to nominate for last week.

This would be funny if it wasn't such a serious subject. This guy isn't up to being a Wal-Mart greeter, much less President of the United States ...

has anybody else noticed that some real tyranny has been ordered by "medical" experts or advisory boards during modern history? Eugenics in America, Nazi'a and Communist making "rules" based on the collective good or common good and these Rona Rules?

Biden supporters are too dumb to notice...

Looting, arson & Rioting don’t fall under the protections of Free Speech...

Here’s the actual newscast that the pic was taken from. You might want to start around the 2:30 mark just to show that y’all are either extremely gullible or extremely dishonest.

So, like me, you’re not a fan of trump the man. He is leading, trying to bring everybody together. However a small portion of the country wants to throw fits, overtake cities, burn buildings, kill people in the name of whatever. The intel is coming out that these people are being asked to do it and it’s being organized and orchestrated. The idea that is trumps fault is ignorant at best. Sometimes people have to be held accountable for their actions. The AG suggests sedition. People here on sdc say that’s not right. So how are they to be held accountable for their wrongdoings? You say trump threatened to send in the military. Has he sent them? That’s where you would have the right to be ####. Had he done something the left would say he shouldn’t and the federalist constitution says he’s overstepping his boundaries. He’s giving the governors the time to do their jobs and has offered his help numerous times. They’ve declined and with the time he’s given them comes rope. That rope will hang the governors and most likely the DNC. He’s been a good president. He’s done more than any one for minorities and women (especially blacks), far more than black messiah Obama ever thought about. He’s made peace agreements happen in the Middle East and cut the money to terrorists off that Obama set up. If he’s re-elected you’ll have voted against the best president in the last 40-50 years. Don’t let it bother you too bad. That’s the beauty of voting. Even though you lose, you’ll still win with trump the arrogant narcissistic ####. Roll your eyes if you hate America

I know people thought in the moment these great men were lesser men. History proves they were great. Lesser men still drinking hater-aid. Why? Because lesser men love their feelings and hate the truth.

Note to all black women who want to make their families rich. Have good carnal knowledge, hang out with drug dealers, and hide their drugs in your house. Have your boyfriend shoot at police, get killed and let your family sue the police. Get woke fools!!!

He's not un American ... he's just blinded to the truth, a lot like you ... everything he says he is for, is exactly what President Trump has done, is doing and will continue to do. Biden is on the wrong side of practically every issue, yet all he sees is Donald Trumps alleged "bad behavior", his incessant tweets and personal character flaws ... he can't get past those issues ... he's oblivious to all the pro American positive things President Trump has accomplished since being elected ... Donald Trump's record as POTUS is unmatched by anyone in my lifetime ... and I'm 66 ... President Trump is actually accomplishing the things he, and I believe you, should be for ... Biden on the other hand, would go with the radical agenda of Crazy Bernie and AOC ... they would destroy our economy, national security and put us on the road to Marxist socialism ... when i try to explain it to him, all he sees is Donald Trump's character flaws ... sort of like you ... you can't see the forest for the trees ... Learn these things, grasshopper, and someday you might be ready to snatch the pebble from my hand ...

Haha the scrimmage made the news already lol

Man this 8th grade team all I can say is WOW

Political office is NOT a job.....we put them there....we should decide for how long.....if people would vote the bums out every 10 years or so this conversation would be irrelevant.....since people have allowed incumbents to brainwash them into giving them so much power, term limits are a MUST or we may as well be North Korea........

Not going to say Grapeland would have lost in Week 10, but playing in the district opener definitely helps...I can speak for a lot of people when I say you can take your time with these growing pains. No rush...
