The Alto Yellowjackets travel to Tenaha this Saturday to take on the Tigers. It’s Tenaha’s homecoming and kickoff is slated for 7:00 p.m. The Jackets and Tigers go way back….to 1929….but have only played 14 times! It was 2015 the last time these two met, a 52-7 Alto win at home; Alto leads the series 10-4. The Jackets defeated Mount Enterprise on Friday 46-34 struggling a bit defensively while the Tigers were blanked by Carlisle 48-0. Tenaha started the season 2-0 but has lost an uncharacteristic 4 in a row. Their 13-game district win streak was snapped by the Indians and this is the first time since 2019 the Tigers have lost 4 in a row. Schedules and results for the 2022 season thus far: Shelbyville 48 - Alto 44 Alto 48 - West Sabine 22 Alto 22 - San Augustine 8 Garrison 28 - Alto 20 Alto 32 - Groveton 20 Alto 46 - Mount Enterprise 34 Tenaha 50 - West Sabine 38 Tenaha 12 - San Augustine 6 (OT) Joaquin 56 - Tenaha 6 Arp 66 - Tenaha 51 Dekalb 65 - Tenaha 14 Carlisle 48 - Tenaha 0 ALTO-TENAHA SERIES All-Time Record for Alto: 602 wins | 383 losses | 34 ties | 1,019 total games All-Time Record for Tenaha: 535 wins | 416 losses | 37 ties | 988 total games All-Time Series Record: Alto - 10 wins | Tenaha - 4 wins Alto’s longest winning streak vs. Tenaha: 6 wins in a row (1930-1938) Tenaha’s longest winning streak vs. Alto: No streak Current streak: Alto 2 wins in a row (2014 - now) Do the Jackets go 3 in a row or do the Tigers get back to their winning ways making the homecoming crowd happy?

Per Matt Stepp: Tenaha is open. Again.

I fear the worst but hope for the best.

Matt Stepp tweeted that Horn has resigned and Greg Jenkins has been promoted. Anyone know where Horn is going?

How's your team looking? Which teams do you think are gonna come out on top of this district? Any darkhorses that can defy expectations? What do y'all think?

District 11-2A Championship Tigers at Mustangs 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 28 Coach Chester Roy Stadium, Overton

This should be an exciting district. I'm interested to see how Tenaha's QB progresses this year, and how Therwhanger does at Timpson. Loads of talent, can he turn them into a powerhouse similar to the way he did Lovelady? Strange to see Wortham and Tenaha in the same district.

Two teams that have played in fits and starts all season... with Tenaha clinching district last week, Maud and Overton are fighting for who plays who in the postseason. 3-0 Tenaha 2-1 Overton 2-2 Timpson 1-2 Maud 0-3 Mount E. 0-4 Fruitvale Hmm, do three teams go into the postseason, or four? Because at 1-2, Maud is on the outside looking in. If they win, that's a three-way tie for second but I'm not sure how the tire-breaker would work. That would mean they beat Overton, who beat Timpson, who beat Maud, who beat Overton, who beat Timpson, who beat Maud, who beat... With a win, Overton would finish second in 11-2A and likely face Evadale in bi-district. Man, I'm not sure what'd be a neutral site for that game... Lufkin? Maud had a pretty hot start, so I don't know what happened against Timpson, but I reckon we'll have to score more than 9 points to beat them. Plus, I don't think this one's gonna come down to a last-second field goal. If Overton leads late, they'll run out the clock. If Maud leads late, they'll probably try to run it up for the sake of playoff calculations (I know I would). The Cards are usually tough at home (3-0 this season), so the Mustangs are gonna have to grab some momentum early to offset the homefield advantage. Can they do it? We'll see...

Who wins the district and what order will the playoff teams be seeded? Maud Cardinals Mt Enterprise Wildcats Overton Mustangs Tenaha Tigers Timpson Bears

Who do you think wins this district, boys and girls?

So here it is: Fruitvale Maud Mount Enterprise Overton Tenaha Timpson I know almost nothing about Fruitvale, except that they're a former six-man school. Timpson and Maud are pretty tough year-in and year-out, Overton and Mount Enterprise should enjoy a rather spirited Rusk County rivalry (it's been too long since these neighbors have played). Tenaha is the obvious favorite in this district, but they shouldn't expect anyone to lay down for them. Thoughts?

I've got us (Overton) in a district looking like this: District ?- 2A Division II Overton (152) Tenaha (142) Timpson (147) Mount E (102) What about y'all? What sort of district do you see your former-1A now-2A school landing in?

Frost vs. Overton Class 1A, Division II Bi-District Playoff 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14 in Palestine

What's your thoughts on this one?
