He did run on the 4 x 100 relay, that if I am thinking correctly, made it to state.  Probably more in the 4.65 range. 

Maybe.  But definitely not 4.5.

Week 7 Scores
Texas High beat Marshall 43-42
Hallsville beat Nacogdoches 42-14
Whitehouse beat Jacksonville 38-14

Standings
Texas High (3-0, 7-0)
Hallsville (2-1, 3-4)
Marshall (1-1, 4-2)
Nacogdoches (1-1, 3-3)
Mt. Pleasant (1-1, 1-5)
Whitehouse (1-2, 3-4)
Jacksonville (0-3, 1-6)

Texas High proved they are the undisputed top team in the district with their thrilling 43-42 win Friday night....but Marshall may have sent notice that gap between them is smaller than some expected.  Barring upsets.....Texas High looks poised for a 10-0 regular season and Marshall an (8-2) season.  But there's plenty of football left to be played.

The race for the 3/4 positions could be a good one.  Nac may have played themselves out of the race with their loss to the Bobcats Friday night.... but Hallsville, MP, and Whitehouse could be an exciting race to see who gets the last 2 playoff spots.  One of them will get left out.

Week 8 Schedule
Texas High Vs. Mount Pleasant
Nacogdoches Vs. Whitehouse
Jacksonville Vs. Marshall

Big games coming up. 

Texas High is looking to remain unbeaten in the district while MP could use a win to remain a half game ahead of WH.  A MP loss doesn't eliminate them...but it puts pressure on them to win out the rest of the way. 

The Nac/WH game may be the game that carries the most post-season weight.  A Nac loss will all but eliminate the Dragons from playoff contention, but a win would throw a wrench into a lot of plans and possibly form a four team race for the final 2 spots.  A WH win keeps the Wildcats in the thick of the race.

Marshall, while putting a scare into Texas High cannot let down in their final four weeks.  In spite of their strong showing in Texarkana.... the Mavs have 2 rivalry games remaining that could be trap games for them Vs. Hallsville and Whitehouse.  But first... they have to take care of business against struggling Jacksonville.

If MHS plays both of those teams the way they played THS, both of those games will be blowouts.

LOL at this nonsense Both of those guys will get a ring if they stay healthy and the folks in the stands don’t mess it up. Dawgs should get #10 this year and both of those guys, who have another year in Carthage, will have great careers beyond high school and both of them will be better at the next level because they played for Coach Surratt. 

I know right!  Every team in East TX would proudly take either of them.  ?

I’d bet a dollar he was more like 6’0 195 and ran a 4.8 40 as a Sr.  He didn’t get to 220 lbs until he got on the Longhorn meal plan and weight program.

Who knows who will win this game! Atlanta beat both LE championship teams. I have been impressed with the Leopard's grit, coaching, and teamwork. I have been disappointed with Atlanta as I thought that they would have been better. But the Rabbs always have the players to beat anyone.
