Red90fly Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'm from Troup. I've been told Alto and Troup will play in non-district , been a while since we've played each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild74 Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'm from Troup. Waskom is about 76 miles and Elysian Fields is about 72. Hope they are not both away games. Lol. But it beats when my son was in Jr High. We played Hooks. 2.5 hrs away on a Thursday night! This is a brand new district for us. Having only played West Rusk and Arp in the recent past... Waskom was in Troups district in years past but has been awhile....Just a little history Troup beat Waskom 28-3 in 1973 in the first round of the playoffs and Troup went on to win the State Championship. I remember Troup had the Tillmen boys.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horns85 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yes I think HS beat them in the first round That's correct, they was a solid ball team though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringside Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yes I think HS beat them in the first round HS did not beat them by much. (Frankston) I was surprised. I think they have some good young players. They should compete well in the district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'm surprised Garrison was left out? Â Looks like Garrison will be traveling quite a bit either way they went ... north or south. With all of the closer schools we used to be aligned with Timpson, Alto, San Augustine, Shelbyville, etc dropping in classification the past few realignments, we are kind of out there by ourselves at the present time.

KirtFalcon Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Poor Garrison I think they ended up in the district with Newton and Camden  We used to play Newton several years ago they have always been tough. I don't ever remember Garrison beating them. I remember Newton beating Nacogdoches several years in a row back in the 90s. We have played Corrigan Camden a lot over the years and have usually matched up pretty well with them. We also have played Center several times a few years back and I believe we won the last 2 or three times we played. Newton is going to be a handful in 3A Div II. Maybe the top team in the state. I don't think Crockett will be much of a slouch either ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelJacket Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I don't really like being in and 8 team district again, you only get 3 predistrict games to work out the kinks instead of 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YELLOWJACKET89 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 SJ you heard who EF's three pre district games are? I think its Mineola, Jefferson and West Sabine is what I heard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelJacket Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Arp 7-5 E.F. 3-7 New Diana 7-4 Frankkston 4-7 West Rusk 2-8 Troup 6-5 Winona 4-6 Waskom 14-1 I put last years records by each team. I know Waskom has a lot returning (all skill guys). I think Arp has a lot of skill returning. Someone said Frankston has a lot returning. EF lost quiet a few starters, and I dont know about the other teams. IMO Waskom has to be front runner followed by Troup and Arp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13TX Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Winona will be young but improved I believe over last years team. They are a year away from being a contender in that district Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
