Alto and Kerens have been in the same district off and on through the years and I think we’ve one every time but once. Talk about a drive!! You go until you think you can go no further......and then hang a right and go some more!! We were with Cayuga at the same time. We had never lost to Cayuga, but we did when Shead was there. Ahead and that kid that went to A&M were the stuff! It was a battle! Kennedy,Malcom Kennedy..great athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in (I think it was) 1993 we played Cayuga at our old stadium (Student Field) and the game was called at the half. Cayuga didn’t have many players to begin with but a huge band at the time. Too many of their guys were hurt at the half and I remember Mr. Pearman (our PA guy) announcing after the bands marched that the game was over. We were up 36-0. Never had experienced that before or since. That made their run even more fantastic in my mind because I remember how bad they used to be. That would have had to be a low point. Cayuga beat us 35-24 in 2008 for the first time ever and then again in 2009 43-36 in overtime. They also just happened to be state finalists and state champions those years! Lol That’s it. We’ve won all the rest. I imagine that if those folks who left at halftime back in 1993 must have felt really good those couple years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay tightening up these boys early this year... If we come out of this early stretch without injuries, we will be tested for dist. Watching Gerald turner at qb last night, I kept having flashbacks to having seen someone like this before, took me til this morning to put it together.. Kid reminds me of Malcom Kennedy, the way he strings runs out and makes ripping cuts back into gaps, explosiveness on the edge and upfield,and breakaway speed. StingEmALTO,I made this comment back in August...do you think he has that resemblance in running style..been thinking about that all day...have re-read this entire thread today..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew had better stats, but Carlisle gets so far ahead so fast Gerald hasn’t been unleashed for much more than a half so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagegenius Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 In other news, been looking at playoff match ups for the region. I think this district should go 3-1, with a way outside shot at the sweep. 1 Carlisle vs 4 Cayuga 2 Alto vs 3 Normangee 3 Big Sandy vs 2 Centerville 4 Cushing/UG vs 1 Leon in district 10 it would take some major upsets to shakeup that order. In district 9, Leon and CV play week 11 to decide 1/2, again barring major upsets this week. Kerens could possibly change the order with bottom 2 by forcing a 3 way tie but don’t see that happening either. I think Carlisle and Alto would win comfortably. Big Sandy will have a good shot at the W. Cushing, to me, presents more of a threat to Leon than UG would due to their athleticism at the skill positions.

That’s the way we had it figured except for Leon/Centerville. I think CV takes Leon, but we’ll know soon enough! I don’t see Kerens making it in. I mean, they lost to Cayuga 28-8, who lost to Normangee. Stranger things could happen, but whoever it is, I agree....we have a good shot at going 3-1....maybe even the sweep.

Need to go back to the good ole days where only 1or the most 2 gets in. In my opinion, only team that is deserving out of this district is Carlisle. The other teams want win 2 games.

I disagree,if Alto can quit fumbling they have the size and talent to roll a ways into the playoffs,and teams have been known to get hot and become hard to beat in the Playoffs..js Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
