San Augustine, and Carthage Qualify for state. Palestine and White Oak lost in the semifinals. Palestine will host an SQT on 6/17 trying to advance to state.

They will have to beat a great team in Central Heights to make it to the state title game....a little luck goes a long way this time of year.

The days rest will still apply. It is basically 2 one game series. The days of rest will still apply, so if you throw more than 30 pitches in the semi you can't pitch in the final.

Thats a pretty easy solution. I like the hire. Hopefully he will be given time to build a program and get the students excited about football again. Needs to stay a while. Hopefully he will want to and the administration will allow it....might be a reboot with a new offensive system possibly coming in.

Yes he is. Has speed for days as well.

I believe it is Travis Jackson. He was at Overton...when they made several runs to Austin. Then he went to Mineola. This is his first year at CH. The previous coach, Robert Ellis is now the pitching coach for Panola Junior College. His son, Duke played CF for Panola this year and could possibly be drafted next month.

Was just about to say what MattStepp said. See you in June

They may not have their own field, but the playing surface at the field Panola and Carthage share is just about the best natural grass baseball surface in East Texas. Have not seen it in a year or so, but Jacksonville's used to be extremely nice as well.

I would think rescheduled is the better word.

Originally the Hallsville game one and the Bullard Canton one game were both going to happen on Thursday. Not sure why it changed. Hallsville Frisco was going to play first followed by the Canto Bullard one Gamer. I kind of wonder if someone else is using Mike Carter earlier on Saturday as well. 3pm is a late start for a Saturday game 2. If it goes 3 games it will mean a late start for TJC which is scheduled to play North Arkansas in a 3 game series to begin at 7pm on Saturday with a DH on Sunday. Lots of baseball this time of year.

Lee lost to Oak Ridge 10-0, 3-1 two game sweep

Having left Lindale, Scotty Albritton is the new Boys Basketball coach at Frankston.

Are you wanting them to add seats in the horseshoe? You just said they can't even fill up what they have. I agree the press box could be redone, but I think getting the bond for the High Schools is the priority right now. Both schools need some serious work.

I heard several weeks ago that it was Bowman's job. I guess he dropped out.

This could get interesting. All chapters have good umpires. It really depends on who you get for a game. The better umpires typically get the higher classification games. I wonder what the motivation was for starting this thread. Hopefully not to bash officials. The number of officials at the High School level is decreasing in all sports. Most of it is due to coach, player, and parent abuse of officials.

It is a TISD thing. I think it is great that the School Board and Administration are trying to upgrade all the substandard facilities. Hubbard is a much better campus minus all the portables it used to house. Personally, after they get the High School bond settled and passed, I think it would be great to just build one or two new middle schools. Consolidation would be nice. Not sure if TISD could make it work with only 4, but that would have two feeding into each high school. Would allow a continuity of athletic programs as well. Right now it is hard for the smaller middle schools to compete with the larger ones. This past season Three Lakes football teams were enormous in numbers compared to Hogg.

The Lee Campus is much older than the JT. If read all of the reporting about the proposed bond you will see that Lee needs almost a total rebuild due to the condition and age of the buildings. JT was over 90% rebuilt after the fire making it much newer and easier to renovate. This is not a case of Lee getting more money because it is Lee. There is more need. Everything does not have to be an us vs. them thing. TISD is trying to bring both schools up to par for the future. I for one think it is a great idea. The new elementary and middle schools are great. The high schools are next in line to be addressed. I hope it passes.

Is that the real sign that is up in businesses in the area? The grammar is terrible. Maybe they should focus on academics and leave all sports behind. I feel bad for the person that created the sign and posted it in town.

Intentional grounding a tough call in a six man game. There really is no pocket per say and with only four officials the referee is responsible for everything behind the line of scrimmage the line judge and head linesman have to release with receivers. It does not help that sometimes officials that calll 6 man playoff games have not called much six man during the season. It is a totally different game, but once you get used to it it is a lot of fun.

Was a seven man crew working this six-man game? Usually six man only uses four officials...Referee, Head Linesman, Line Judge, and Back Judge/umpire....if it is a 5-man crew you just add an umpire. Never heard of a side judge and field judge being used in a six man game. Would be easy if it were though. 7 officials for 12 players.

They are allowed for practice. Not at games or scrimmages that involve more than one team.

Now the Principal at Edgewood Junior High.

Not correct. Hobbs played QB against Garrison. Smith...SO QB...has played the past two weeks. His first two starts on Varsity at QB.
