Verstappen 2nd and Norris teammate, Piastri 3rd slot for tomorrow’s race. Very little room for passing maneuvers on this track layout. Nonetheless, will look fwd to watching, as always. The last 3 years (up until the second half this year) has been unwatchable with no parity and the obvious ways the governing body has manipulate the outcome of races and stifled competition. At least this year it more competitive and next year should be interesting with all the changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with who won the championship or how many, it’s the quality of racing involved. Verstappen is probably going to win another one but he’s had to work for it and the outcomes don’t seem predetermined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texans are well represented Tarleton State is destroying McNeese St. They are ranked 21st in FCS and looking good. You know you are getting old when i just saw B.J. Johnson's son score a TD on a WR fade. They got some good looking WR's. Also the Little Lone Stars are up 2 - 0 on the Baby Gators. Beat them 4 -1 earlier in this tournament and is undefeated so far.

DevilDog Posted August 24 Author Report Share Posted August 24 Bottom of 5th Texas takes the led 6 - 5 on wild pitch to home plate . Bases are loaded with 2 outs. Srike 3 catcher drops the ball and runner forgets to run to 1st. Being reviewed wasn't a foul. He should be safe and another run should be good. 7 - 5 Texas. Lucky break. It stands.

DevilDog Posted August 24 Author Report Share Posted August 24 Texas replaces pitcher with sore shoulder for a kid that doesn't have much of an arm and struggling with control. Texas gave up 3 runs the whole tournament and Florida has put 9 on them. 9 - 7 Florida with 4 runs in the 6th. Texas is imploding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDog Posted August 24 Author Report Share Posted August 24 Congrats to Lake Mary, FL 10 - 7 USA Winners. Will pull for them against Chinese Taipei. Good Game.

DevilDog Posted August 24 Author Report Share Posted August 24 Tarleton State vs McNeese State has turned into a very good game.

Horsefly Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Ok, it’s game week in Texas. There’s are several quality week 1 games. What games are you looking forward to? I’ve got my eyes on north Crowley v Lancaster. NC lit up Allen and trinity in their scrimmages, I’m curious to see if they take the next step this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we are finally here. I got many to choose from. Probably will go up the road and watch ANNA play TN #4 Oakland. Anna is ranked #1 in 5AII on Maxpreps but other Texas rankings have them outside the top 10. Both Dave Campbell and Texas HS Football. They are defending 4AI Champs that loses their defense. That's Friday night and the next night right down the Road 5AII Melissa plays defending Ark State 5A Champ and State #1 ranked Parkview on Saturday night. Dave Campbell has Melissa ranked #9 in 5AII and Texas HS Football has them #5. Both the TN and AR teams already have a game under their belts. Also on Friday right up the street we got 3AII #1 Gunter vs. Kinkade. Why does Dville only have 9 games this year and don't play till next week. Also in C.C. this weekend we have Allen vs. MIdland Legacy and Westlake vs. Prosper is on Thursday and that game is at Mary Hardin Baylor stadium in Belton. Collin County is the place to be this weekend in TX HS Football IMHO. Gonna watch Anna and Melissa on back to back nights. Frito Pie time in Texas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncanville has had 9 games the past 4-5 years. I don’t get it but I guess he thinks his team doesn’t need the game time experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champa Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 SOC vs North Shore should be good. SOC gave Dville all they wanted last year before the Panthers pulled away towards the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
