On to next week and praying that I can ask it again! Improvement by leaps and bounds this year so your "one game doesn't define a season" comment is appreciated. When looking at the overall program 7-12 our teams are a combined 13-3 (5-1, 3-1, 3-0, 2-1) and those younger groups coming......they are solid. Friday was a good game with some missed opportunities but like you said ON TO NEXT WEEK! Good luck to the Wolfpack! 3-0 win streak and feeling good yourselves after the last couple years. Good luck this week against Joaquin! Edited October 7 by StingEmALTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StingEmALTO Posted October 8 Author Share Posted October 8 High school football summations – Week 6 BY JAY NEAL [email protected] Alto Yellowjackets (5-1, 0-1) Last Week: After opening the season by going 5-0, the Jackets were tripped up by Grapeland last week. The Sandies prevailed, 20-6, in Alto. Overton thumped the Tigers, 65-23. This Week: Alto will travel to Shelby County for a date with Tenaha (1-5, 0-2) Friday. With Lovelady, Overton and Mount Enterprise coming up on the schedule, the Yellowjackets really need a win this week to keep its playoff chances alive. Tiger defense has allowed 106 points in the past two weeks. Tenaha’s only triumph (41-0) came against winless Linden- Kildare on Sept. 21. Tenaha’s four-year streak of having qualified for the playoffs could be in serious jeopardy unless the Tigers can find a way to upset the Mean Sting. https://jacksonvilleprogress-cnhi.newsmemory.com/?token=2887c2fa97f7665607843ee47f1cad70_67054912_315c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
