Greenville Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 This week, the Greenville Lions (2-5, 1-3 district) take part in yet another Homecoming. This time, however, it's actually their own, as they play host to the Hallsville Bobcats (4-3, 2-2 district.) While technically still alive in the playoff race, the Lions seem to have started preparing for the future, having promoted sophomore quarterback Weston Jarvis to starter, and giving reps to sophomore RB CaDamian Hale, younger brother of star senior RB Carandal Hale. Hale (the senior) currently has 159 carries for 1,520 yards, as the race for a 2,000 yard rushing season is in full force. ------------------------------- "Hallsville..." ...Colmesneil :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookemhorns88 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Looking forward to the game and new surroundings for Hallsville and the fans. Not looking forward to the drive and sitting in the rain though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Greenville has a great stadium. I loved it last year. Parking is pitiful. But the stadium itself is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboFan07 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Pulling for Greenville, just to make the 4th place race more exciting (plus I have a soft spot for the Lions cause of ya Greenville and your posts). Make sure to try that awesome Mexican restaurant! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 If Hallsville and PT both win this week...... I'm seriously thinking about going to the Hallsville/PT game next week. It may decide the #4 slot. Big rivalry between them. Could be the game of the week in the district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenville Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Greenville has a great stadium. I loved it last year. Parking is pitiful. But the stadium itself is great. I hear ya. But it may get a tiny bit better in the future. We have an elementary school that has been torn down and is in the process of being rebuilt. For now, though, they have a temporary school built next to the stadium where home parking would be in nearly every other stadium. For now, there are a few parking spots that have opened up and a new entrance to the stadium created. Just a fence gap and a booth, but an entrance it is. Next year, once the kids move into their shiny new school, all the trailers are going away, and hopefully the concrete lot that was created to host them will be refitted into some more parking spaces. It won't help a whole lot, but it's better than nothing. Heck, I'd settle for a footbridge from the Paris Junior College parking lot behind the stadium across Monty Stratton Parkway, as long as that new entrance stays open. As for the rain...bring it on. Not like we throw it around the yard anyway. :) Thanks, Lobo, I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty sight, obviously, but seems like that'd be a logical place to put a parking lot at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hallsville better be prepared Vs. Crarandal Hale..... he's beast. 172 yards Vs. the Mavs last week. Had 126 Vs. Longview. Top rusher in the district. Not an easy take down. Don't overlook the Lions.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav01 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hes good all around, but his acceleration is his strong point. When there is a small crease he will find it and be gone. It will usually be a very short gain or a long td with him. Not many 10-20 yard runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have since removed the "Cats" and have gone plain with a solid purple helmet. Not sure why they did that? Trying to change the Mojo? I first noticed it last week. Not sure how long ago it was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboFan07 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Why is everyone going with the plain solid stuff recently? Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookemhorns88 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Why is everyone going with the plain solid stuff recently? Strange. ?? Especially how on the college boards people talk about flashy uniforms and how it helps to recruit kids. I do not mind it at all. I just wish that they would go back to the block style numbers so that you could see who made the play. Is that a 3, 6, or an 8 that made that tackle/catch?

Greenville Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 This probably goes without saying (so I'll go ahead and say it :) ), but to the Hallsville fans planning on making the trip to the Cotton Field, do yourself a favor and check the weather reports tomorrow. The Metroplex is under severe storm conditions as of now, and several games at all three levels (9, JV, V) have been cancelled tonight. More of the same is expected on Friday. So far, the storm has tapdanced all around Greenville itself without advancing into the city, but that could definitely change over the course of Friday. Make sure the game is still on before you make the 2+ hour trip (each way) to the game. And most importantly, be safe. And Go Lions! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how long ago it was done. Thanks for the heads up, but I've just been too busy to get them changed this week. Greenville goes "Pittsburgh Steelers-style" with their helmet decal on only one side (and not the side the helmet is currently facing in the sig) as well. No idea why it's trending that way (the no decal route), but I am not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain is no big deal it is the lightning that causes the big headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenville Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Right after I typed that, the skies opened up for us. I can't see my car in the driveway through the rain all of a sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty sight, obviously, but seems like that'd be a logical place to put a parking lot at some point. I honestly do not know. Beyond plans to expand the Parkway to either 4 or six lanes, the city hasn't told us anything. The space just south of the stadium was reserved for a new YMCA, but that deal fell through. Since then...crickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenville Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Game will be played as scheduled. Homecoming festivities will probably be moved to the gym, though, after the volleyball game. If you make the trip, be extremely careful. And bring your rain gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
