    Hope you're doing well! Still find myself checking in on Greenville just because of you!

    Thanks! Doing ok. Life has kinda pulled me away from being as much into HS football as I used to be (and only winning 2-3 games every year didn't exactly help lol.) Hope all is well with you as well.

    Idk when they came up with Goonville but that makes since given who their head coach is. Randy Jackson threw a fit after Aledo beat Grapevine and Aledo scored again late with their 3rd string RB. He said it was BS that Aledo kept scoring. He is a sore loser. We scrimmaged them early this year and they were solid. Wouldnt mind knocking them out of the playoffs nonetheless. Like Lil Wayne says, "whats a goon to a goblin??"

    Weird thing is, he's been friends with our head coach Darren Duke since they were in junior high together. And he coached with the Lions as well. But yeah, he lost his moral high ground about running up the score; he went for an onside kick up 37-6 on us, and kept throwing bombs to the end zone in the last two minutes trying to get a 50-point first half. They definitely seemed angry about us taking their playoff spot last year. Ultimately, though, it's our job to stop them, and we failed to do so. Except for the 50-point half thing.

    What are your thoughts on NF? We could end up playing them in the 2nd round. 

    Massive up front. Their offensive line is enormous and quick, every one of them over 300 pounds. We looked like a peewee team out there. Pretty balanced attack. They are ballhawks on defense as well, with plenty of speed; it's not a team you can turn the ball over against (we lost three fumbles) and expect to stay in the game. You (as in Aledo, not so much us) can move the ball against them, but make sure to put an extra emphasis on ball protection.

    They've nicknamed themselves "Goonville", so that's a nice little tidbit.

    In short, definitely don't take them lightly.

    This was taken from the govenor's speach today mandating the wearing of facemack.

    Later Thursday, in an interview with Univision in Dallas, Abbott also signaled he might be rethinking plans to open the state's public schools for in-person classes this fall, after state officials said last month that it would be safe.

    “If COVID is so serious, it may mean that students are having to learn from home through a distance learning program, something like the use of Zoom or FaceTime or other strategies where a teacher in real time will have the means to speak with a student, a student will be able to speak with other students, and it will replicate the class setting as much as possible,” he said.

    No in school students?? What does that do to the football program?

     

    Parents here are already being given that option for the upcoming school year; either let the students attend like normal (with safety measures in place, no assemblies/pep rallies, and school bus use discouraged) or virtual E-Learning from home, with the same curriculum and attendance expectations as the kids in the school building.

    For Mount Pleasant

    1973- Lost in finals to Cuero 21-7.

    1995- A special year, beat #3 SS 24-3, went 5-0 in district. Beat SS again in Regional final. Ended up losing to Denison in semi-finals a Cotton Bowl 13-6  because of TD called back on a illegal touching of referee. They got blasted by La Marque in the finals.

    1997- Lost in semis again to Denison again. They lost to La Marque in finals.

    Your '95 team (bi-district) was actually our first playoff game in the previous 35 years, since 1960. You stomped us 28-7. Heck of a welcome back party.

  7. 1998. Lost a heartbreaker to eventual state champ Grapevine in 3OT in the regional finals. Given the opposition in the other regions, Greenville would have been a heavy favorite to win state if not for the Mustangs. My brother was on that team, making it hurt a bit more. Got back to the region finals again the next year, but ran into a revenge-minded Ennis team (we knocked them off in the '98 run), and...yeah.
