It’s holding up good. We actually practiced during 2 a days on it in the evening practices under the lights. I was worried because we got some pretty heavy rain and didn’t know if it would be messed up but it was all good. A couple years ago we added more dirt to the middle of it so it absorbs and drains pretty well. Still, turf would be nice at some point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were good games. Props to Winona! They have some good teams. I was impressed by our middle school kids. Good numbers, size up front, and speedy backs. I was encouraged. JV battled. We probably owned the time of possession, but a turnover and not being able to sustain some drives killed us. That was actually our JV’s first game to play so I thought they fought hard and I saw some positives. We’ll get after it next week vs. San Augustine and hopefully more improvement. All the best to Winona going forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwarmingOnEm Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Well Friday is here again. Have been in a bit of a funk and haven’t had it in me to post much after the cancellations the last two weeks. Just something about it being a Friday night in Alto with nowhere to be lol..It puts you in a weird place. With that said, I’ve braced myself long enough for another let down and I think we’re safe now. So here’s my take. It’s gonna be a challenge tonight to play a clean game just because of the extended down time. Im expecting some uncharacteristic things to happen tonight just because of that. BUT, I am certain it won’t take our boys long to get back in the groove. I know they’re chomping to get after it, especially after having to taste the loss to Troup for two weeks. Great thing about tonight is that it’s the HOME OPENER and HOMECOMING and the atmosphere will be lit for their return. They’ll certainly be out to prove themselves in front of those that came before them and those waiting in the wings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyzNdaHood Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 If we keep alto under 40 points and we manage to get so much of a safety or a blocked PAT and return it to put something on the board I'd say we improved over the past 2 weeks... all BS aside I respect Altos program and know they're ready to get after us, I hope our boys want it as much and go give em hell.... hope both teams stay injury free Jett out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former Jackets seeing what the current crew can bring and future Jackets dreaming of the day they get to play out there for the black and gold.

And as you stated in your earlier post, yes, things won’t and don’t always go your way, but you better play hard as he for 4 quarters. That’s an expectation of the community both young and old alike.

I don’t know anything about your varsity, but I was there last night. You guys have some talent to be cultivated coming up. As far as 40 points, I’d love to see 40. We scored 48 one game last year. The rest of the season we never even knocked on the door of 40 points. As much as you wanna see less than 40, believe me, we wanna see our defense hold y’all to less than 40 every bit as much lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
