So a kid has more chance of getting money to go to college on playing a sport than in a fishing tournament where different amounts are given out for diff place finishes?

It is better for all to play at a neutral site with a better set up. You said a mouthful then!!!! Plus at lower level the seating would be harder cus the crowds usually get bigger in my opinion, but I do believe the district champ should choose the neutral site without a coin flip imoΒ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same team flipped us with lobo stadium as their choice for the site.

MuleSlicks Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Gotta be carful what you ask when it comes to flipping.Β Β I think it was 1983, Daingerfield tried negotiating a neutral field.

The Tigers beat Sweeney @ State in Waco No, I think we played Post in FortWorth.Β That game was 42-0. I'm thinking now it as Kaufman wanting to play in Dallas, and Alexander had them come to Marshal, and the score was more like 46-0. Most memorable thing of that game was a 4th and one, deep in their end of the field, and they went for it and lost about 5 yards. They had a bad TobinFrost running back that year. Daingerfield shut him down. Edited November 1, 2022 by MuleSlicks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
