And when you look at the thread with all the flooding down south, things get put into perspective in a hurry. Been through all the tornado situation here and looked forward to football season for so long that it is just disappointing that’s all. Not all of the teams in our district even have a JV so when you can strap it up and go in a week that you actually have a game, I know some young men that are ready! Lol My son being one of them! .....and disappointed when it doesn’t happen. We’ll play another day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherokee603 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Not having turf also plays a factor, this much rain on our field 2 games could destroy it for rest of the season and odds are it’ll rain again in the next 6-7 weeks and make it worse, cancel today and try schedule garrison on a week a team doesn’t have one and make up for it.

I hope we can re-schedule with Garrison, but most likely every team in their district probably already has a JV. we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAWolfman Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I think Alto will have some success rushing against Garrison if they got some decent size up front. I know High is quick enough to do some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know High is quick enough to do some damage. We have some pretty good-sized, experienced guys up front. They’ve been opening some holes for our backs. Add some muddy conditions and we’ll see how much slipping and sliding there is. These boys will remember this game for a long time I bet if it’s as nasty as I imagine it will be.

Man, this is good news! Hope your forecast is correct. I vote for it! Lol It’s pretty soggy here. Late start for AISD tomorrow because of the deluge of rain we got today and still dealing with roof/tornado/hail issues. But it’s part of our routine until the flippin’ insurance issue etc is resolved. Patience. Perseverance. That’s us right now. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StingEmALTO Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Area Roundup: Alto Travels to Garrison By Jay Neal [email protected] Sep 19, 2019 Alto Yellowjackets (3-0) at Garrison Bulldogs (1-1) 7:30 p.m. Friday at Bulldog Stadium in Garrison What to Watch For — A tip of the hat is in order for the Yellowjacket defense after posting its second shutout in as many weeks in the 50-0 win over New Diana last Friday evening. The Jacket offense got a lot of kids involved in the action in front of the homecoming crowd. Alto will have to avoid a let down on Friday and the Mean Sting cannot get hung up on Garrison's .500 record. Garrison outlasted Crockett (38-32) on Sept. 6 and lost by a TD to a tough San Augustine outfit last week. The Bulldogs have won the last two meetings against Alto by an average score of 42-28, so that should be all the motivation that the Yellowjackets need to give their best effort this week. https://www.jacksonvilleprogress.com/sports/area-roundup-rusk-travels-to-spring-hill-in-search-of/article_6a5dc424-d98a-11e9-a15a-53a120e69d45.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
