I'm betting her face comes off with the tape

I was opposed to it before I made a trip to watch all of the games in the same place. It just makes the games bigger.

Barbay emphasised in the pregame talk the need to stop the big play which he indicated as a big part of the Carthage offense. Think he overdid it a little. Was nice of Jasper to call those last time outs to allow the Carthage second string to get a few extra plays experience.

Other teams will have just one kid to watch? Am I reading that correctly? Most plays they had one corner back almost as deep as the safeties. It was almost a cover 3. Guess they thought their front 7 could stop the run without safety help. Guess the thinking was make them earn it on the ground and not give up the big throws.

It needs to be a little bigger so it covers her nose too.

West Hardin...(is a good guy ).

Might as well get it started! Big District 8-4A Dll matchup next Friday between Leopards and Buckeyes who wins?

State of the 2020 U.S. Senate ElectionsVarious links provided throughout | 10/18/2020 | Coop Posted on 10/18/2020, 3:18:46 PM by Coop For those who may be interested in two previous, related posts: State of the 2020 election State of the 2020 U.S. House Elections There are 100 seats in the U.S. Senate, two per state. Washington D.C. has no senators, nor do the U.S. territories. As of today the U.S. Senate is comprised of 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents (Bernie Sanders of VT, Angus King of ME) that caucus with the Dems. So numerically it’s a 53-47 GOP advantage, while recognizing that certain unnamed Republicans are reliably problematic when push comes to shove. So the GOP majority is functionally a bit tenuous. Primary elections can take care of those problem children another time. Right now we need to focus on confirming conservative judges and avoiding another Dem House impeachment farce. The Vice President serves as the President of the Senate. S/he only gets to vote if there’s a tie. Should the hair-sniffing, child-groping nepotist win next month, the Democrats would need to win only three Senate seats to reclaim the majority (meaning they chair the committees, and Chuckie Schumer would set the agenda). Senators serve six-year terms. Elections are staggered, so generally only a third of the seats are up during every even-year election. And normally both senators from one state would not be up for election during the same cycle. Special elections, such as those in AZ and GA this year, can throw off this model. That’s why in 2020 there are 35 seats up for grabs, four of which are open seats (no incumbent – three R [KS, TN, WY], one D [NM]). As with the House and essentially all elections, the power of incumbency is real. Many of these Senatorial elections will not be particularly competitive. But a portion will be. I respectfully request that readers of this thread chime in with information on events related to Senate races in their areas, info on fundraising, voter registration, endorsements, and… [it pains me to say this] polls. I do not anticipate significant ticket splitting in this election. If Trump does well, he could pull some races not generally viewed as competitive (NM, VA, NH) into contention. Of the Senate races on the ballot this November, 23 are Republican and 12 are Democrat. Advantage: Dems. However, 23 races are in states Trump won; of the remaining 12 states Trump lost, five were by <5 points (see emboldened state names). Advantage: GOP. As always, the Democrats will be very well funded. GOP candidates running in swing states (MI, NC, MN) will benefit from Trump & RNC money & get-out-the-vote operations. Republicans running in states like LA or IL will need more of their own campaign money & hopefully NRSC funding. 2016 Trump margins can be found here. The Cook partisan voting index (PVI) shows how a state leans, right or left, based on previous elections. New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are currently rated as “even” on the Cook scale, meaning they are as “down the middle” politically as states can get. R+3 means a state is about three points more Republican than NH, and D+8 means a state is about 8 points more Democratic than WI. According to Cook the most Republican state is Wyoming (R+25), and the most Democratic state is Idaho. Just kidding! It’s Hawaii at D+18.

Cynthia Lummis * = military veteran You might be wondering why there are two Republicans running in a second GA race (both candidate websites are linked). Last December, due to health concerns, Sen. Johnny Isakson announced his retirement prior to finishing his term, which would have expired in Jan 2023. Gov. Brian Kemp appointed Kelly Loeffler in January, to serve as senator until next month’s special election. There was no primary for this special race. All candidates (21 of them!) are on one ballot. The three biggest names are Sen. Loeffler, Rep. Collins, and a Dem preacher named Raphael Warnock. If no candidate exceeds 50% of the vote, a run-off takes place between the top two vote earners the following month. My gut says Warnock will face Collins in Dec. Regardless of who wins this special election, an election for a full six-year term will take place in Nov 2022. If you believe that Joe Biden really is comfortably leading in the national polls, then 11/3 will be a bad night for the GOP Senate. Republicans will likely flip AL, hold the 3 open GOP seats and SC, but lose the CO, ME, MI, AZ, NH, MN, VA, NM (open), NC, and IA races, plus one or both GA elections. John Cornyn in TX could even have a late, worrisome night. That scenario would give Dems control with 52 or 53 seats. However, before you go climbing onto the ledge, I think such polls are garbage (see “State of the 2020 election” above for more details). In a close (2016-ish) race I expect Republicans to hold the Senate as they hold the 3 open seats, flip AL & MI and keep the SC, AZ, IA and NC seats, plus Perdue’s GA seat. The other GA seat (Loeffler/Collins) will likely go to a Dec run-off. Susan Collins may have cost herself reelection with her recent Judge Barrett stunt, and Gardner in CO is still quite vulnerable. If Repubs lose ME and CO it basically would be a wash, with little change. If Trump outperforms his 2016 victory, as I fully expect, then the Pubbies could gain Senate seats. A huge night could result in flipping AL, MI, MN, NM, NH and even VA without losing any current GOP seats, but one GA seat still going to run-off. Before the run-off that would be a total of 59 GOP seats. I don’t expect all those races to fall our way, but you never know. The Dems drew to an inside straight in the 2000 Senate election cycle, winning all the close races they needed, and then taking control when turncoat Jim Jeffords switched parties. After next month plays out, I do expect that starting in Jan 2021 the GOP Senate will have more of a cushion to protect against back-stabber Mitt Romney and one or two others. But before this turns into a Romney-bashing thread, remember who fully endorsed his Senate run? Pres. Trump. Not one of his finer decisions. That “Sec.” is not a typo above in the WY line. Cynthia Lummis is not yet a senator, but she served as Secretary of the Interior from 2017 to 2019. She’s also a cattle rancher. Trivia question: Which GOP senatorial candidate listed above was a Supreme Court justice? Coop’s favorite GOP underdog: Jayson Lewis, MN (see below for details). Cutest Senate candidate? This hetero male votes for Lauren Witzke of DE. Who was the first member of Congress to ever fly a plane around the world? Jim Inhofe of OK. He’s also been married to his wife, Kay, for 60 years! Dark horse candidate? Mark Ronchetti of NM. He’s a well-known TV meteorologist. Trump lost the Land of Enchantment by 8.3 points, but former NM GOP governor Gary Johnson took 9.3% of the vote. GOPer Evan McMullin took another 0.7%, while Greenie Jill Stein only took 1.2%. If Trump does improve his performance among Hispanics, and Biden’s position on fracking hits him hard in NM, this open seat could swing GOP. For that to happen Trump would almost certainly need to carry NM. Should we see a Trump rally scheduled in NM, look out! Why didn’t I list Sen. Joni Ernst as one of my two most vulnerable? Back in March of this year Joni’s approval rating had slipped significantly, and she was considered one of the more vulnerable senators around. Her seat is listed by most as a Toss-up. Such a rating frankly makes me want to toss up my lunch. Trump won IA by 8.6 points, with Gary Johnson taking another 3.2 points. Trump pulled his advertising dollars from Iowa, and it ain’t because he’s given up. Joni would have to significantly underperform Trump to lose her seat. We shall see. I find it hard to believe the IA race is a toss-up, while due north Dem Sen. Tina Smith’s seat in MN is rated as Solid D. Seriously? Trump lost MN by 1.5 points, and his campaign is making a full-fledged assault to capture MN’s 10 electoral votes. Two MN House seats (see House link up top for details) are also prime for flipping R. MN Republicans are fired up to vote this election. Senate candidate and former Rep. Jason Lewis has deep roots in MN and plenty of name recognition from his time in Congress (MN-02), his radio show in the Twin Cities area, numerous TV programs, and his work as a contributing columnist at the Star Tribune. Why does everyone think unproven John James in D+1 Michigan is primed to knock off an incumbent, while high profile, former Rep. Jason Lewis in D+1 Minnesota supposedly doesn’t have a chance? Makes no sense to this fella, even recognizing Sen. Smith is considered stronger than Sen. Peters. Did you know that besides John James in MI there is another black GOP candidate for Senate? No? Me neither. Apparently, the RI GOP decided to pull its endorsement of Allen Waters due to an alleged domestic dispute in 2019 (the case was dismissed). Allen is still in the race. As a Catholic I have been surprised at how many Catholic GOP candidates there are serving in/running for the Senate and House. Catholic Mike Rounds of SD is the eldest of 11 siblings! The next time someone talks about the GOP being a party of old white men, not only can you call out SC’s excellent senator Tim Scott (not up for reelection this year), but point to the seven current Republican women senators. Not listed with the five above are Sen. Deb Fischer of NE and Sen. Marsha Blackburn of TN (neither up for reelection this year). Cynthia Lummis is in prime position to join that group of ladies. What can you do to help the GOP hold the Senate and keep confirming conservative judges nominated by President Trump? There really is still time to make a difference. Donate your time – either in person or by making calls from anywhere in the U.S. (maybe even globally – I’m not really sure). Contact your preferred campaign(s). Donate some $$. It doesn’t need to be much. Every donation pays for some bumper stickers and shows the candidates they’re not alone. Share this thread and/or specific candidate info & links with friends and family. Pitch in a few bucks to the FReepathon. If you notice any errors on this thread, please point them out so I don’t inadvertently give folks the wrong information or impression. Trivia answer: Sen. John Cornyn of TX served on the Texas Supreme Court from Jan 1991 to Oct 1997.

hope your team the best this coming week

It just seems really tough cause there’s not that dominating team in the region this year all the teams are average or a little above average.

The thing with Lancaster every year is that when there back is against the wall they don’t have the mental toughness to push it was evident when we beat them in the playoffs in 2018 and last year too. Also they aren’t a discipline football team. They try to rely on talent so much and that can only take you so far which is why you usually see them drop out the 2nd to 3rd round each year.

As of last week in Maxpreps: 19 - Huffman Hargrave - 2-0 in district 29 - Livingston - 2-0 in district 39 - Vidor - 1-1 in district 54 - Splendora - 1-1 in district 61 - Lumberton - 0-2 in district 68 - Little Cypress - 0-2 in district

I look for President Trump to win in a landslide, the Republicans to pick up seats in the Senate and retake the HOR sending Sea Hagg Pelosi to the briny deep ...

You now have only one

Thanks for the “poll”

Thanks. If ya'll don't go at least 3 rounds deep I'll be surprised.

Like a fishing pole?

Carl Limbrick #34(Jasper) 157 yds. 2tds M. Courtney #2(Carthage) 169 yds. 4tds

If I had a nickel for every time someone said that you’re gonna have to pass to win I’d be a rich man. Just keep trying to convince yourself that Waskom’s not good because you’re not convincing anyone else.

I miss my dawg.... hes the only thing that kept it interesting during this week. Our biggest rival and always will be lil kuzzo. Especially after we lay the smack down on them humpback heifers this week

I see no reason to comment on the outcome of this game; however, I would like to read some information on Timpson. Dave Campbell picked them 5th in district with 5 offensive and 7 defensive starters return from a 5-6 team that didn’t beat a team with a winning record. I know Coach Therwhanger did a great job at Lovelady…what has led to this turn around?

Yep. Worst offensive performance against the #4 ranked team in D2 at their house. First string D gave up one TD and 2's gave up 1 + the 2 point conversion with 6 seconds left in the game. Offense struggled and still scored 35 points. Cherry on top: I think #2 for the Red Dawgs had more rushing yards that J's rb. I'll take it!

This

I’ve been wondering same thing

I doubt coach T lets them score over 85 points.

You from WO, so I assume you mean White bread.

Yes. Absolutely.

It's cute that a few fans on that forum down south are proud of that 35-18 score. Nevermind that J's only td in the 2nd half came with less than 10 secs left to play in the game and it was against our 2's. Lol

Atleast NB98 biggest fan still continues his legacy of insanity

Same to you

I still think Timpson will win this district ... I've got a ticket coming for the Timpson vs Joe Quin tilt .... that should be the game of the week in East Texas ....

Uhhhh.... I had binoculars haha

This statement doesn’t make any sense. Castles is the one interviewing & hiring them. If they are clueless it reflects poorly on him as a Manager.

You know it's tru, Larry .... everybody knows it's tru ....

From EF principal—I talked to the Leesville HS Principal this morning and his player is doing great and will recover fully. Sprained neck. Thanks to all the EF fans who mentioned this young man in their prayers!!! GO JACKETS!!!

It's coming!

I wouldn’t say PP is better this year. You can make an argument for the other 3 but newton will give them a game and have a chance to win that’s for sure. I said could make it out of the region, not will.

Nasty Newton Eagles hitting their stride at the right time of the year. Newton with the W

A nothing year for Newton is what 90 % of the 3 A Div 2 schools would love to have.
