However, Franklin appears to have seatbacks on the home side with possibly more home side seating altogether. https://www.google.com/maps/place/McGregor+High+School/@31.4282554,-97.4036932,277m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x864f8a8ff169d0b9:0xa16af02811b0f50a!8m2!3d31.4267841!4d-97.4049192 I'm still interested in how Rockdale is going to fit their new stadium into the area they have and if so when they are going to start. Franklin does have seatbacks for about half of the home side and they have added more seating on the home and visitors side also adding on to fieldhouse and added more parking last year as well.... Now if we can just get our video screen to run replays lol.... If rockdale gets they new stadium i will make a trip to watch one of their games this season to check it out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoenation79 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Franklin has a top notch program. Last year the Lions were one of the best fundamental tackling team I witnessed. The Yoe coaching staff needs to emulate how fundamentals are taught over there. When you play Franklin you always know you are going to get their best shot. Their coaching staff gets the best out of the talent they have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And believe it or not i know some people who dont like our coaches because of the styles of offense and defense they run out of... But in my eyes dont fix whats not broke year in and year out with a young team or not they contend for a district title and i think franklin fans sometimes take a winning season for granted when we couldn't win a game in the 90's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its has been updated but still missing some things like the add on to the field house and didnt realize that we dont have that many seated back seats on the home side on the visitor side used to be white rock now paved home side has big parking lot plus two smaller parking lots and the restrooms are some of the nicest i have seen at a smaller high school stadium... Even have like 8 small tables next to the home concession stands to sit down and eat if you wanted to 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know anything about any of those kids either but was wondering which one you were referring to? No offense, I'm not going to get that personal. But it was one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're ready to really assault the next level, you have to start thinking about how to sustain your success through the playoffs. Franklin's offense, with their roster size, isn't ideal for that. Boys are beat up by the time playoffs start, if not outright injured. That offense is ripe for a trick play or two - flea-flicker, etc. Occasional surprise spread formation, just to rock the opposing D off their toes.

I agree that we should mix sone spread in the offense to keep other teams on their toes and mix in some other types of passing... We have been passing more and more every year so it only a matter of time when we can run 60% and pass 40% 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoenation79 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Yoe nation fans are hoping the HC and the OC are paying attention to the kids that are headed to the state track meet. There is definitely some speed coming back for the 2018 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoenation79 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 7 on 7 tournament on May 3rd. Starting at 5pm at Yoe stadium. Come out and see what the future may hold for the Yoemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoenation79 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Same old same old on the defensive side of the ball. Defense giving up the long ball. Hearne Eagles ran by the Yoemen db's like they were standing still. Hearne scored on every possesion. Which started a fight between a few of the Yoemen playing defense. Offense had 2 qb's throwing. One stood out (he's about 6'4") but I doubt he'll get the nod come the fall. The Junior varsity's qb has a better arm then the other kid that was playing with the varsity. I know it's just 7 0n 7 and their first games but they have a long ways to go. A side note the Hearne Eagles look like they may make some noise in their up coming games. They also defeated the La Vega Pirates. La Vega in turn shut out the Yoemen. Next weekend is in Robinson a state qualifier tournament. As Yoe fans we can only hope we see improvement.

At first, I thought you were saying that the 2nd one had a better arm than the 6'4" QB that stood out, but then realized the JV kid you were talking about was a third QB. What classification will the two they used on the varsity be? Which QB started, the 6'4" one or the other one? DId one lead the team with more scores than the other one? Did they get to play with the same receiving corp or was one playing with a different (i.e. less talented) group of receivers? Why is it you think the one that stood out wouldn't get the nod come fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, they have one of the nicer stadiums and set ups around for AAA. Only thing it looks like they really need is some additional visitors seating. They've got sufficient home seating, and the field house/weight room in the end zone. Not much better set up than that. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Franklin+High+School,+West+FM+1644,+Franklin,+TX//@31.0239101,-96.5009315,277m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m9!4m8!1m5!1m1!1s0x8645dc1a51e62fe3:0x9686ca88947423c0!2m2!1d-96.5036349!2d31.0223336!1m0!3e0 Goin to put up some picture's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also built a new fieldhouse or something so they can do an entrance like Yoe. Hey, that's what I was told. By a Lions fan! I think the way the yoe enters the field is one of the best at the high school level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
