Certainly the kids deserve it as they always do in these situations. Unfortunately, i see ZERO chance that it passes this year or anytime soon. I could be proven wrong but i am just basing it off of last year as it was not necessarily that close plus turnout was low. Add in the fact that they added $11.6 million to the total, i just dont see it being successful a year later.

I got tired reading all of his stops. I want to definitely give him the benefit of the doubt, but its hard not to think that based on his track record that he will not be around long.

I think its going to be more along the lines of the increase in the total amount that people wont go for. If they didnt like it last year, they sure wont like it this year when its $11.6 million more.

Also just read a press release that MV put out yesterday about another proposed bond to be voted on in May at the cost of $63.9 million. Will be interested to see how it goes over considering how the $52.3 million proposal was received just one year ago.

Can only imagine the splash MV admin wants to make again

Enjoy the ride. Make the trip. Spend the money. Soak it in. Very special opportunity.

I stayed and watched the game and i thought Holliday just outplayed FF. Also FF looked like they had tired legs for the majority of the game especially in the first half when they shot 4-26. Kudos to them for fighting back in the 4th on the shoulders of McKinna while Shadasia was on the bench with 4 fouls. After taking a 44-43 lead, FF started to make several turnovers and it ultimately led to Holliday finishing the game on a 15-3 run. The biggest difference to me was the lack of production from the role players compared to the Winny game as McKinna and Shadasia combined for 42 of the 47 with only one other girl scoring. Credit to Holliday for some outstanding defense and just a never die attitude.

Sorry friend i never got on here during the tournament. I thought we had a great strategy and did exactly what we needed to do to have the best chance to win. Kudos to the role players for FF, they made some big shots and then they ratcheted up their pressure when it counted the most. We just didnt make the plays down the stretch and you know that is just how it goes sometimes. Still very proud.

I never got on here during the tournament. I just have to say how proud i am of the Lady Raiders. Obviously a disappointing end to the season but there should be no hanging of their heads. They fought through alot of adversity this year and kept working and returned to the Final Four. Those 5 seniors are so special and will be very hard to replace but i know the other girls will get back to work and have a burning desire to make another run next year. Hats off to Holliday and FF, that final was a great game. What a run for the elder Brackens girls the last 4 years. No question they have generational talent and will continue at the next level. Just as our Lady Raiders will look different next year, so too will the Lady Eagles but i know they will be wanting to return to the mountain top as well next year. Already looking forward to it.

3A Region 2 Prosper High School Friday night Whitesboro vs. Mineola Ponder vs. Hooks

Pretty quiet here in Winny about it

Give me Lipan as well. I think it will be a battle though. I knew Lipan was good but seeing them knock off the undefeated #1 Nocona by 14 in the Regional Final got my attention. MM is an absolute mainstay at the state tournament but have certainly not come out on top as much of those times as they wanted so i know this year they will be wanting that trophy

Lots of really good quality teams making the trip. Looking forward to our Winnsboro Lady Raiders getting another shot at the champs.

Do you know what the "comfortable lead" was and how this game played out?

Gunter had one of the best presses i have seen and put as much pressure as any opponent i can remember in recent history for the Lady Raiders. Super quick and athletic and just gave us all kinds of fits in that first half. We weathered it and gained our composure at half and came out and did much better in the second half. You are correct, we cant afford to have that kind of first half Thursday. I just feel like we will absolutely be prepared and come out and play our best game.
