A 4th place MLC? greetings from Texarkana in bi district. Ranked #1 in MaxPreps and DCTF computer polls. A pregame trip of 4hrs + game site experience of 4hrs + a post game trip 4hrs = 12 hrs trip experience. Maybe MLC will fly into DFW like Odessa Permian did for the 1975 title game. Feel sorry for the MLC band. Did you notice that the MLC cheerleaders and pep squad arrived at PNG in chartered limo buses while the band took school buses.
If school busses make it in 6 hrs I’ll eat my hat lol
Texas High is maybe the most inconsistent team I’ve ever seen
So we might see a blowout in EITHER direction
They’re so raw it isn’t even funny
I heard an anecdote where Earl Campbell post retirement was asked what the hardest hit he ever experienced in football
He said “the concrete wall at Grim Stadium IN TXK” (they’ve replaced it since (it was there during my HS years and beyond) still super close to the field.
I honestly think I’d rather meet THS than MLC (for our chances)
And of course I like it due to my connections to both teams (my loyalty lies with the Indians)
If Texas High had Morcos they would win state IMO
they have a QB on paper who should be all world
But he makes bad decisions but he’s backed by two fantastic RBs (the better of the two Ball more plays slot) THS is very similar to PA in demographic and style IMO
The key to beating them is morale
That’s 80% of the battle.
But I’ll definitely watch a potential MLC THS matchup (I watch PNG and THS every week (sometimes at the same time ha)
