Dear Coach, by David Smoak...

Dear Coach,

I've been fortunate enough to have played the game of football in this state, and yes, before you smirk, many years ago (late-70's) at Universal City Randolph.

As a military brat, I played for three high schools in four years with my senior year being in north San Antonio at Randolph High.

I loved the "Ro-Hawks" tradition and history. The program had one coach for nearly three decades, Bob Mickler, Sr.

Smoaky with Earl Campbell, "His Greatest Win in Life"
Friday, 24th August 2012 - 9:52PM
I recently recorded a lengthy interview with a true Texas Legend, the great Tyler Rose, Earl Campbell.

I've been fortunate enough to interview Earl on many occasions, but this is perhaps as upfront and raw as he's ever been about his battle against additions with painkillers and beer.

I hope you enjoy it.

Good stuff.

I wouldn't be shocked to see THS go 4-0.  But 3-1 seems plausible with such a killer schedule.  TBH tho...I think Fayetteville is going to be the toughest...even though Liberty Christian won state too.  I'm just not sold that even a really good small TAPPS schools will hang with the Tigers.  I'm not sure about Arkansas HSFB either...but I think it's better than TAPPS.

I'll be thrilled with 3-1 if that's how Marshall finishes.  But I'm pretty sure they will be underdogs Vs. Tyler, Longview.....and MAYBE even Legacy.  I know enrollment doesn't mean everything....but at the end of the day Lgv and Legacy are 6A schools that are significantly bigger.  Tyler too for that matter even though they are 5AD1.  (3-1) would be sweet.  But (1-3) isn't completely out of the question.

 

 

i was at the tyler high game. there was absolutely no reason as to why Marshall didn't win that game. 

i think that left a sour taste in their mouths. i think they return the favor.  the Tyler Legacy scrimmage was chippy as well towards the end. i believe they can and probably beat them as well.  Longview is always Longview that's a monster hill to climb. the Palestine Game will be interesting with new head Coach james  Reyes  on the sidelines against his Alma Mater.  Palestine mirrors Nacogdoches great athletes but struggles with consistency. that could go either way.

With All My Heart

Robert F. Turner

For twenty years this page has promoted better attitudes — not because we felt attitude alone could suffice, but because acceptable obedience can proceed only from an acceptable heart.

We believe God treats man as capable of doing right, and on this basis justly condemns man when he sins (Rom. 1:18-3:23). We believe God, in mercy, gave His Son to die in man's behalf — making salvation by grace (3:24-26). We believe this redemption is freely given for all, but is applied only to the true believer — having faith which works by love (Jn. 3:16; Gal. 5:6). But absolute perfection is no more found in followers of the New Covenant than in followers of the Old (Phil. 3:12-f; Rom. 7:18-f). The very best man does is "try," "press," "will" to do God's will. This may be summed up in saying he can "give himself" to God, trusting in His mercy (Matt. 16:24). And GOD must be the final judge, looking into the very heart of man (Rom. 2:16; Heb. 4:13-16; 2 Cor. 5:10).

God has ever desired a circumcised heart (Deut. 10:16; Rom. 2:28-29). So called "obedience" which promoted self-satisfaction solely in the doing has always been an abomination in the sight of God (1 Sam. 15:22; Mic. 6:6-8). Though we did all things commanded we are to say, "We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do" (Lu. 17:10). Our hope, hence our trust, must remain in God. His law must be written upon hearts — hearts wanting to serve Him, trying to do so. Only those who have so given themselves have the right to comfort in Christ (Heb. 8:10-f). When "it" (the heart, mind) turns to the Lord, the blessings in Christ are available and not before then (2 Cor. 4:13-f).

Paul served God with his spirit in the gospel (Rom. 1:9), with his mind served the law of God (7:25). This does not negate the need for overt action — but is the only way we can have assurance of forgiveness when we fail. A rebellious heart will prevent prayers of confession and pleas for mercy from reaching God (Isa. 59: 1-8).

So we have pled for pure hearts — knowing (with tremblings) the best and perhaps only way to teach purity is to live purely before God and man.
