I look for Bruton to have a really impressive game!

What did Crockett turn in? I've gone thru the list a few times and maybe I'm just missing seeing a number. Thanks!

I think it'll definitely be a bigger crowd Friday night at SFA instead of Thursday in Longview. Honestly rain or no rain wasn't the problem for me, as I've been known to sit out in the rain and cold for other teams if my Yellowjackets weren't playing. However, I work Sunday thru Friday, and anywhere from 7:00 am to sometimes just up to 6:00 pm. I don't like being late, but I might have to be just a little all depends on what time I can actually hit that time clock.

Beats driving to Longview. EXACTLY!

Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't looked down far enough, and was way too tired to get on last night!

That's sad for a program to experience this!

I was really wanting to attend the Garrison and Timpson game, but having it all the way up in Longview. This gal works Sunday thru Friday, anywhere from 7:00 in the morning till almost 6:00 in the evening. So, I'll have to watch this game online just like the last game between these two teams. Good Luck to both teams and may the best team win represent East Texas well next week!

Just my opinion, but I actually like the Tenaha field. It might be close to the action with no track, and might need to extend the bleachers up slightly. However, I do not agree with them charging for parking. I don't many schools that do that! Again, that's just my opinion on it!

for you Upullingmychain. I'm pulling for those Indians! Lovelady will be hard thou because the did suit up a good JV last year and rolled us. When I think about it, that might've been one game our JV actually saw some action in. Sting'em can you clarify that for me please?

Evadale are the Rebels and Overton are the Mustangs.. Both are known to be wild in the wilderness. My pick is for our district opponents here! GO Overton!

I was reading on Twitter that Mr. Padilla supposedly sent out his 2024 2A Division re-alignment last week to his subscribers. Does anyone have and able to share with us? Thanks!

Those numbers are generally released from those at the UIL in early December. At this moment I'm seeing at least 8 to 9 teams right above/below 100 kids opting up to play 2A. Also saw a school with an enrollment of 65 (Rocksprings) I believe opting up to play 2A ball. I can't see the UIL raising the upper end to 180. That's 15 kids, but then again you never know what the UIL will do!

Carl Padilla of The Padilla Poll is saying about 95% of 2A schools and 98% of 3A schools have submitted there number and he has already posting his predictions of cut off numbers.

Sure was! Jarrod Martin was a one man wrecking machine!

It will be interesting when these numbers actually come out in December. I personally don't see them going up that much. UIL has never gone up more than five to ten as far as I can remember.

1995...U have the correct score. It was a back and forth battle the night before Christmas Eve! Remember it like it was just yesterday! Then to start 96 season Alto was #1 and Celina came in at #2 and both got beat out in the second round. Alto to Groveton and Celina to Italy

I think this will be a good game and what a District Championship game should be all about!!!! However, I saw a post from Gen7Dragon and I needed to make a correction. In 1997 football season (if that's what he/she referring to) Elysian Field did not lose to Celina in state championship. They lost to Alto in Kilgore in the Region Quarterfinals. That was Brian Gamble's senior year! Alto maybe should have been in state title game that year, but fell short the next week to the Roger Eagles to finish 14-1 on the year. Maybe the 1998 season is what you really meant thou!

Awesome throw from the QB and amazing catch and to stay in bounds from this young man! I at least thought it was. Maybe I'm just a little biased.

Sir, where can I go to see all of your pictures from this game? Thank you!

"I believe it was a disgruntled employee (now former employee) who turned the # in and the admin trusted that she did it properly and submitted the number...pretty sure that's how it went down.." SMH

Alto only returned two starters on offense and maybe one or two more on the defense. Only had four or five seniors. Our team is extremely young and our JV didn't get any playing time last year, and apparently they haven't see any or much action this year either. All we can do is just keep fighting and playing for the love of the game, and push forward to next year! As their numbers, we'll all know shortly. I'm still supporting these coaches and these great kids! It's been a rough year for everybody, but we are not quitters and we will be back! This I can guarantee you!! Goooooooooooooooooooooo JACKETS!!

This definitely hasn't been the typical Alto year, but I know these coaches and kids are giving it every thing they have every week!! They will continue to do that because we "DTS" in Alto. This is a growing year and these returning young men plus what's coming up will bring ALTO back to where we are known and respected. I'll stand with my JACKETS thru the good and bad times just like I stand with the COWBOYS! Win, lose, or tie......I'M A JACKET TILL I DIE!!!!!!

Wise words but dang the winning is a lot more fun! Lol StingEmAlto, I like the wins more too!! Lol

Some interesting information here everyone. We only a bulls eye or month away now!
