StingEmALTO Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Hard to believe but here we are at Week 10 and in the last week of district play! The Alto Yellowjackets will host their old rival the Groveton Indians for the 70th installment of what was once one of the most highly anticipated games in the state. Many a battle between these two through the years. The “young ‘uns” do not realize as much the WARS between these schools because the rivalry has been somewhat lopsided in recent years and also because many years we ended up in different districts or not on the schedule at all. Now, mention the word Groveton to 90s kids on down and that word evokes some emotion. Both teams come into this game with wins on Friday. The Jackets “upset” the Normangee Panthers 56-23 while the Indians grabbed their first win of the season 30-26 over the Leon Cougars. The Jackets are looking to continue to improve and build on the success they are experiencing under the new/old system in place by Coach Gamble. With the win this past Friday, the Mean Sting moves into second place in the district standings behind Centerville. The Jackets defeated the Indians 48-38 last season. The last victory by Groveton was in 2012. The Indians lead the series 37-30-2. Who finishes district with the dub?

Yeah 2nd place is the preferred spot as far as match ups are concerned in playoffs but that 2nd round game is the “toughest”.... but the route to regional final appears easier than the other bracket....Lotta ball left yet however..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top part of the bracket looks very tough…if it shakes out like that. Bracket is busted after Friday night. Our 3rd gets Beckville 2nd round should they make it past Bi District. Y’all could end up with Hawkins. That wouldn’t be bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me. Until teams play them a little closer, that’s probably what most folks will continue to think. Beatable? We shall see. So far no one has really challenged them. Allowing 15 points a game and averaging 56…..that’s pretty dang good. It IS about matchups so we will see in the next few weeks who, if anyone, can challenge them.

Booneville made some silly mistakes at really bad times. Good teams will make you do that. lol I followed the Booneville game while we were playing Grapeland. It was pretty close! I was at the Waskom game. When I thought Waskom was gonna steal the mo and go ahead, Timpson battled right back. Those were two games they were challenged but still managed to put the opponents away rather easily in the 4th. Gonna take 4 quarters of smash mouth football with limited penalties, lots of pressure on the QB, a team that can run to the ball and TACKLE!, a team that can open holes and complete drives. Is there a team out there who can give them that kind of challenge? TBD lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
