What does everyone think of the district this year? This could be a big year for Ellison in particular.

I haven't really been following it much anymore. And, kind of surprisingly, not much coverage lately by the KDH.
I know Cove scrimmaged at Abilene on Friday and not one word about how that went is in the paper.

Got tickets for the Friday night Ellison game. Hope it doesn't decide to rain on us all....

Honestly this can be a big year for Ellison..9 offensive & 6 defensive starters coming back from a 6-4 team. Midway & Belton look strong, they'll probably be the top 2 teams in the district. Shoemaker lost some guys on defense but the offense returns a lot so l think they'll still be formidable. Could be the year 2 KISD teams make the playoffs.

Would like to see Ellison do well, but can't see them doing better than 3rd or 4th in District.

Hope Welch finally gets a defensive coordinator that can run a defense or else Cove will finish something like last year (3-8) or worse.
His columns in the local Cove papers already seem to indicate he knows he's screwed.

My heart's desire is for SHS to make it to playoffs for the third year in a row, meet up with Mansfield and WHOOP Coach Hall's new team!

I really don't follow high school. I do like it when the news or the newspaper has a story on any of the schools teams doing well and make it farl outside the district, whether badminton or football, it is nice to see the kids go far.

Yet, it is in High School, and only in High School, where you find the sport in its relatively pure form. After that, sport becomes tainted with monetary gain issues.

Right on, Mein Herr. The kids play in high school for love of the game, although many hope they can earn a football scholarship to a university.
In college all they care about is getting to the NFL.
In the NFL all they care about is $$.
While I enjoy watching the NFL, and I love watching college ball, I'd much rather spend a Friday night at the Dawg Pound. Atmosphere is much better.
