Cowboys1970

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!

"way to early for this" I agree with this and I'm not from either town. Alot of things can happen before this game. Injuries and grades come to mind. Good Luck to both teams thou, and I hope both teams are full strength and put on a battle till the END!

"Schneid"............guess I'll google it. LOL LOL. I found myself also using google to see exactly what it meant. I was thinking that but hadn't heard that said before. I guess I need to catch up with some of the slang words or phrases that are current.

Troup Tigers in this one!

Not this time, or probably the next time .... was told last night we were at 226 .... but will go up to around 235-240 in a couple of years Sting, guess that means we won't be in Garrison's district next two years!

Continued prayers from this Alto fan!

After watching it again....I did spot the other one. I guess the youngest kinda stood out to me immediately not only his red hair but how tiny he was then. Wow! It only seems like yesterday... Then again I think we've been out some 30 plus years now! That only seems like yesterday too!!!

I don't understand this situation. I know of other local schools whose numbers are low but they have numbers. I think it depends on the community support and your head coach. Take for Overton for example a small division 2 school but they had 40 plus kids from 9th-12th! I don't see small school doing away with football unless they let it die out! Good Luck to all them small town schools who are just giving it every thing they have on Friday nights because "THEY LOVE THE GAME!!!!"

I think the Cooper Bulldogs little too much for the Collinsville Pirates in football. Had it been baseball might have to ride with the Pirates!

I'm a Yellowjacket myself (black & gold one), but somethings telling me that Beckville will be a little too much for them orange & black Yellowjackets!

I think Centerville will win this one also! Go Tigers Go!

Hey Sting, I can spot your little guy (not so little any more). Time just goes by so quickly!

I saw one of the officials go over to the band director. I didn't think we were all that loud either. I thought SA band was louder than ours!

I don't have cable so I found game on the radio, and was watching updates on my phone. However, the phone was like some 45 seconds behind the radio. I saw one Twitter saying these exact words..."Last time Cowboys won the Super Bowl the Cowboys started out playing Giants in first week and beat them 35-0!" Could this be "our year?"

Guess I'll be heading to San Augustine soon! Safe travels everyone!
