StingEmALTO Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 The Alto Yellowjackets will host the Normangee Panthers this Friday at Jacket Stadium in a key District 11-2A showdown; kickoff is 7:00 p.m. The Mean Sting blanked the Leon Cougars 46-0 Friday while the Panthers downed Grapeland 56-36. Normangee was projected by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football to win the district. The Panthers lost 15 seniors and return 10 lettermen, 5 on offense and 6 on defense. Normangee started strong in pre-district with wins over Bremond (49-13) and Iola (51-14) but then had a rough stretch with 3 losses in a row to Chilton (37-0), Lovelady (35-6), and Groesbeck (54-6). Since then though, they have won big in district over Groveton (42-21), Leon (55-0), and Grapeland (56-36). As best I can tell Alto and Normangee have only played twice: a 2018 bi-district playoff game where Alto won 47-16 and then in District last season, a 35-22 Normangee win. Who breaks the series tie of 1-1 and gets the important district win?

I wouldn’t say there’s no hype (but as Sting stated) not many ppl talking. I know us as the fans, parents etc are excited about the match up. As far as the kids, when I asked my boy his thoughts it was simple “We’re going to win and be the most physical team they’ve played.” That’s all that was said. They’re grounded yet focused. Believe me, they remember last year. They want to return the favor as many times as possible this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with Normangee losing 3 games in a row and falling out of the top 10 and us not cracking a ranking period and falling to Centerville, it’s kind of off the radar. But like you said, it’s on the radar that counts: with our team!! That was a physical and close game we played them last year. I remember their players telling ours that we were the toughest team they had played to that point. Hoping to be even tougher and grab that dub this time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where he will be playing in the all-star game next summer. 20 points better? Let’s hope not! Lol I DO want them to go ahead and beat Centerville next week should we beat them Friday!

Make things interesting. Lol I just can’t see CV dropping two games. Say we were able to handle our business this week and Normangee beats them somehow the following week, we’d need Grapeland to win in the last week and we’d have to make sure we didn’t let Groveton slip up on us. Trying really hard to remain respectful here, but after watching the tape of Grapeland and Normangee last week, I can’t see it. I don’t think Grapeland has enough to deal with CV for 4 quarters. Enough about that though. Eventually, everyone who gets in will simply have to beat who is in front of them. There will only be 1 winner when it’s done. It’s nice to say “we went this far” blah blah blah. But the end result is the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant should we win out, it would be nice for Normangee to defeat Centerville causing a 3-way tie for first and then the point system would determine the seeding. BUT, I think Centerville wins out so everything I said really means nothing. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
