This is, obviously, the Game of the Year in District 15-5A. These two juggernauts meet for the first time in many years (maybe ever?)...with plenty of bragging rights on the line.

 

For Greenville...they went into last offseason saddled with a 40-game losing streak. They'd love nothing better than to go into this offseason having reset the losing streak to Zero. (Obviously, Pine Tree wants the same thing for themselves.) The Lions only have three victories coming in to their season finale, but this has already been the most successful season of the decade for them. They have even managed to steal a district win to go along with two nondistrict victories. The Lions are trying for their first victory of the season over a team who comes into the contest with at least one win already.

 

For Pine Tree...honestly, I'm not too familiar with the Pirates or their recent history. They are currently 1-8 and also claim a district victory. It may not mean much to the rest of the district, but sixth place looks a whole lot better than seventh to Pine Tree (and Greenville.)

 

This clash of District 15-5A Superheavyweights is sure to be an instant classic.

If it weren't for the small visitor's side...... Pine Tree has the best stadium in East Texas IMHO.

 

And if it weren't for the parking situation there. Can't imagine trying to get out of there after a close, hard fought contest.

 

Greenville wins this by two scores.

I was there last year for the Kilgore-PT game..... it was a nightmare.

 

But yeah.... expand the visitor's side and add some parking..... and this is the premier high school stadium in East Texas hands down. IMHO.

Yep, that's about word-for-word the complaints about our Cotton Field as well. (No home side parking for us.) I don't expect that we'll need much space, though.

 

At least after the game, we can lift our unofficial weeklong ban on car air fresheners. :)

Looks like our chances are now greatly diminished tonight. We're down six players, including our two top running backs and a top WR. Off a roster that only runs about 40 to begin with, that's not a good sign.

Ouch.

Grades? Discipline?

Greenville comes back in the second half and wins it 21-11!!! We won four games this year! (Yes, that's a huge deal for us.)

 

We finally get to end a season with our old chant...

 

WHO DAT TALKING 'BOUT BEATING GREENVILLE!!

 

Congrats Lions!!

Thanks, guys!

 

We're Number Six! We're Number Six! Everybody! :)

 

(Going into the offseason with a losing streak of zero beats the hell out of going into the offseason with a losing streak of 40. May you guys never have to find out the second part for yourselves.)

 

Edit: I will add this part, though...big fan of Pine Tree's fight song, Grand Old Flag. Lots of us were singing along when they ran out of the locker room after halftime. When they scored, not so much.
