If you are coming from Celina cut through town and come from the west on 741. If you come from Gladewater cut over to 20 and take 741 from the east. How many fans can we expect to show up?

Why did Gainesville not feed #20 the ball? The times he caught the ball it looked like he was the best athlete on the field and made the corners look silly a couple of time.

For those who have never been to Forney http://www.smoaky.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=124382&st=0&p=1637867entry1637867

Did I miss the video proof somewhere in this thread of this claim?

Canton would have been way to small. Only seats 3,500. Mesquite Memorial would have cut the mileage down for Henderson and seats 18,000ish.

I have heard it about SLC too. Some people just hate that the fact that they are rich, predominantly white and usually better in most sports.

Good point. The stories these people tell are funny.

I was referring to the tool that you quoted. What facts do I have wrong? I am from Forney and personally got my butt kicked by Highland Park so I have all the reason in the world to not like them. I just dislike them for the right reasons and not these made up stories. How are they arrogant? Because they didn't want to play the state championship in a venue that would have been to small if they didn't get the game put on TV?

Considering this tool is still going on about how HP cheats enrollment, I HIGHLY doubt the story he is telling is true. I am pretty sure I've heard the "cash beats trash" story from more then one jealous person. I hate HP too, but people need to start making more money and stop being jealous of those who are more successful then they are.

They are like the 3rd biggest school in their own district.

Once you get through Terrell past the outlet mall there will be a split. Right is 80 and left keeps you on 20. Avoid coming in on 80 if you plan on going straight to the stadium. The fastest way to the stadium is to stay on 20 and take the exit for FM 741. Take a right and it will take you all the way to the stadium. You take a right on 741 and after the first big corner you should be able to see some lights off in the distance. Two more big turns and you are there. You can also go further and take the exit for 740. Take a right. Just stay going north till you hit the stop light, don't take the sharp left turn that you will come upon after about a mile. You will eventually hit 741 and you will see the stadium clearly on your right. This could be a good exit route because most people will be going east out of the parking lot. This route brings you in on the west side. Everyone shares a parking lot on the north side of the stadium. It's pretty big. Not sure how they will have the gates, but there is a parking lot in front of the school. If you can get into there you will have a MUCH easier time getting out. If you are coming on 741 from the east take the very first entrance and you can't miss it. I know I have seen organizations out there tailgating, not sure if they allow individuals to though. The field turf is brand new, put in over the summer. The video board never works, so don't think you are just getting screwed. You will have to ask people from Henderson about tailgating and if they charged for parking.

Directions for Gilmer folk. I would honestly do this - http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Forney+High+School,+Forney,+TX&daddr=32.72473,-96.31501+to:gilmer,+tx&hl=en&ll=32.709311,-96.319542&spn=0.146173,0.338173&sll=32.716533,-96.354218&sspn=0.146161,0.338173&geocode=FRtY8wEd7jBA-iFntUsVEIvMAg%3BFfpW8wEdfllC-iktZjqTDk5JhjFOLl8dAOp8Vw%3BFatm8wEdGktX-ikZseyiuRs2hjFI8ZOAGbBxvg&vpsrc=6&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=12&via=1&t=m&z=12 Cut over in Terrell to I20. The other way it will take you is construction hell. Everyone shares a parking lot on the north side of the stadium. It's pretty big. Not sure how they will have the gates, but there is a parking lot in front of the school. If you can get into there you will have a MUCH easier time getting out. Apparently Henderson/Lindale folk could. If you are coming on 741 from the east take the very first entrance and you can't miss it. You will have to ask your other ETX people on if they allowed tail gaiting. -- For any Van Alstyne people reading. Your traffic coming in on 80 and exiting won't be as bad. You have a brand new exit and turn lane to use.

I saw he only had 5 carries for 10 yards. I guess Carthage's plan was to just completely clog the middle and make NF actually get to the outside?

Good experience? This is by far the biggest playoff game we have ever hosted. We usually get some podunk 2A and 1A games.

Does anyone have any photos of the crowd? How was attendance? Did anyone take my eating recommendation?
