The Alto Yellowjackets open District 11-2A D1 play when the Grapeland Sandies come to town on Friday, October 4th. The Jackets fell to San Augustine Friday night while the Sandies defeated Burkeville. Though improving each week, the Mean Sting is still looking for their first win of the 2020 season. Alto leads the series with Grapeland 39-22-1 and last played in 2015 when they were in the same district; Alto won that game 48-28. The Sandies’ last victory was in 1991, a 41-21 win. Second season begins Friday! Who goes 1-0? Interesting side note: Alto and Grapeland first played in Alto

Who takes this one?

2 of the top teams in the oldest county in Texas go at it for the first time in recent memory. People are calling it "The Battle For Houston County." Who comes out on top? Alot of these kids know each other personally and there's been alot of smack talk all the way from February until now. My prediction is: Crockett-56 Grapeland-20

No comment....

Grapeland hits a 3 to force OT. Lovelady misses a 3 to end game. Why they wanna shoot a 3 when your down two is beyond my belief....Smh. idk who this coach rollo is, but he needs to Go!

Congratulations to the Grapeland Boys Golf Team on winning the Class 2A State Championship! Very well deserved! The Sandies took 1st place as a team, sophomore Rick Frauenberger took 1st place individually, and we also broke the Class 2A record of a 602 with a two-day team score of 600! Coach: Cannon Earp Golfers: Case Boyd (Jr.), Josh "Bear" Ackley (soph.), Rick Frauenberger (soph.), Riley Chipman (Sr.), Brayden Cheatham (Jr.).

How's your team looking? Which teams do you think are gonna come out on top of this district? Any darkhorses that can defy expectations? What do y'all think?

I graduated from Lovelady. Everyone wants to say their rival is Groveton, but I think it's really Grapeland. Lately Lovelady and Groveton has been about even the last decade or so, but overall, Groveton has Lovelady's #. That's why I don't really consider it a true "rivalry".

Sandies at Mustangs 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 7 Coach Chester Roy Stadium, Overton

This should be an exciting district. I'm interested to see how Tenaha's QB progresses this year, and how Therwhanger does at Timpson. Loads of talent, can he turn them into a powerhouse similar to the way he did Lovelady? Strange to see Wortham and Tenaha in the same district.

Overton at Grapeland, 9 a.m. Saturday at Sandies Stadium Yeah yeah, I get it, it's just a scrimmage — no one's trying to "win" or anything. But what are some things you're hoping to see out of your kids? Grapeland and Overton are both two young teams trying to turn their programs around. I don't know where the Sandies are in this process, but the Mustangs have a lot of young, raw talent. While there's only three or four seniors, there's a bunch of sophomores who started last year — and some gifted freshmen coming up. Barton & Co. believe in starting the best 11 guys on a side, so
