SloppyJoe Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I miss the way Shelby County football teams used to have all similar size schools play each other before the season finished. Years ago when Timpson, Joaquin and Tenaha were 1A schools they were in district together. Shelbyville was 2A but usually played the others before conference games. It was almost like a round-robin tourney by the end! Any more Texas rivalries that still keep this stuff alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be some intense games between those neighboring schools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing what getting to be in a District with Hawkins, Big Sandy, and etc. instead of EF, ARP, Troup, West Rusk, and etc. has done for that school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep... in just my own lifetime it's been interesting to see the ebbs and flows of various small-town programs. Depending on favorable demographics and/or economics, you see some schools continue to grow and flourish. While some past powers have become all but irrelevant.

centex1 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I know that they would never play and I am not calling for them to play but any Carthage Beckville Tatum historians know did those 3 ever consistently play each other? Like in the 50-60s or earlier than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time to play either was 1935. 4-3-3 overall against Carthage. 22-19-4 overall against Beckville. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things there that somewhat surprised me: I would have thought Carthage- Tatum would have played more than 10 games, (although seeing Tatum played Beckville 45 times over the same period should have told me otherwise), and I would not have expected Tatum- Beckville to be that competitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
