Agreed

Numbers- They need to get the number of kids playing back up to around 50 so they can have a Jv. You have 9th and 10th graders who have not yet matured who never see the field on friday night and are expected to contribute as juniors when they haven't actually done anything but practice for 2 years. Also a lot of those kids who would help when they got older end up not playing anymore because they never get to play. A Jv team makes a huge difference in a school having success year after year. That goes for junior high too, they need to have a separate 7th and 8th grade team.

I just called the school....much better than just guessing. The secretary even gave the numbers per class.

Overton's enrollment is probably closer to 150.

good call.

What exactly do you mean by that?

What's not ready about it? I believe the gym has a little more work to be done on it but I was under the impression the football field was ready.

Henderson would be a better location but I don't think it would be big enough. Kilgore would be good, especially since it has a cover from the sun.

Dropping down definitely did not hurt Garrison any but i'm sure they would have been very competitive at the 2a level this year. I know last years Overton team beat 2 top ten 2a teams in Harelton and White Oak so there might not be as much of a difference between the classifications as you might think.

Any idea on where or when Garrison/Overton will play?

I'm pulling for Overton but I don't think they will have enough pitching to get passed Cayuga. They just aren't as good as they have been in the past few years in that respect and defensively. They still might be able to put up enough runs to pull it off though.

When and where does Garrison play this week?

So who do yall think will win the district. Hasn't the champion alternated between Overton and Carlisle the last 4 years? I guess that means this is Carlisles year to win it.

I understand why he did not get anything since he did not throw a whole lot, but i believe if you take him away from that team they most likely end up about 6-4 or 5-5. I do not see them winning those 1 point games without him.

Was there a problem with the capacity of the stadium or not? Did some folks overreact to something they really didn't have a clue about? Now that all of the complaining is over I will tap on the brakes to say this: If it had been icy and cold, the UIL would've had a hard time convincing me they care about the small schools as much as the big ones. Some sit in climate controlled comfort and the others brave the elements. The weather was a gift to the boys in the front office.
