[MOJO Mystique]

I know I've seen one or two here at times. Do you have the word on when Permian and El Paso Dorado play?

[KattTx]

Might it be Friday night since they came here on a Friday night last year?

Does anyone know if the EPISD PO teams are going to be using the Sunbowl? I would sure like for Permian to play there. Brand new turf - have it on good authority "it's just like Ratliff". ;)

They do play at the Sun Bowl Katt, but word of caution. They don't open the visitor side do they make the out of town team sit on the home side with the home fans. Annoying, yeah. Then they give the away team the home sidline with the opportunity to be taunted and thrown at. And this was just Lubbock Coronado. They are probably foaming at the mouth if say a, Permian or Midland Lee were to come to the Sun Bowl.

Keep in mind that this is EPISD teams only.

Isn't El Dorado a SISD team?

[F18mustang]

Right, but you mentioned Permian playing at the Sun Bowl which would put Permian against either Franklin or Coronado.

I think the SISD teams play thier play off games at the SAC.

Can't you tell that I don't like Franklin! :D

Oh sorry, I was just wishing that the EPISD schools would be playing elsewhere so that we might have a chance to play at the Sunbowl in their absence. Probably just wishful thinking...

I haven't ever been to the SAC so it might not be too bad. :cool:

[KattTx]

To Post script that thought - I don't really care where we play as long as the refs come from somewhere OUTSIDE of a 250 mile radius of El Paso. :D

The SAC is pretty nice. The nicest HS stadium in EP by far. I really like waiting in line at the concession stand and still being able to watch the game.

[KattTx]

Wow... that is pretty nice. Let's hope the Nation can travel well enough to fill up our part.

[odessapermian.com]

The SAC is nice. Less seating on the visitor's side, but more than enough for what we'll bring.

Nothing official enough to post yet on the date and time.

SAC is very nice, easy to get to on the East Side of town

OP, when will you have hotel info for El Paso up on the website?

[MOJODRIVER87]

The sac Is a real nice place. Seats about 11000 or soo.. But ain't like we are gonna bring 10,000 with us this go around. No replay board but A nice aquatic center.. for those of us who have been told to go take a swim to cool off.. The Info Im getten is this game will be played On a saturday Not sure How true or set in stone it is.. But for what its worth.

Saturday would be good. Not looking forward to driving for a Friday game.

[MOJODRIVER87]

One thing That I hate about The drive from Odessa To El Paso Cause I do it evry week...Is that It sucks.. To put It Mildly.. Saturday would be very good for alot of folks.. Lets hope it holds.

[mojotrain]

You jest of course?

Permian plays El Paso El Dorado 1 o'clock PM Saturday the 14th in El Paso at the Socorro Complex, acccording to the Mojo Nation board. Thats if we play El Dorado.

IF we play El Dorado. At this point that is the likely outcome.

OP, when will you have hotel info for El Paso up on the website?

It was on the calendar page. Since that week isn't here yet, it's not up as the Gameday Central page yet, so you kind of had to go looking for it. As soon as the games are over Friday, I'll have this page complete.

Last week I posted a link to the La Quinta Lomaland, which is just around the corner from the SAC and gets good reviews. $45.00 for a double room when I booked.

El Paso- the only chapter I've ever heard Coach Gaines speak badly of.

My guess would be San Antonio chapter.

Well Any commercial vehicle operator with a CDL should kno first hand the rules and regualitions and permits b4 he or she rolls .. concidering most coaches and or school buses are only licensed for the state of texas .. most should kno first off that u need a day permit to run in the state on new mexico.. usually just 20 bucks or soo. They tend to base it on the amount of miles u plan on traveling thru the state..

[MOJODRIVER87]

Im guessen the route you guys take would be to cut thru Hobbs? If soo the permits can b purchased at the first port of entry or the Local Dps office.. Im sure ur guys kno this by now .. if you have had problems b4.

These buses were out of Houston and they sucked! Thats not something a High School coach should take care of much less plan for. It was totally the Bus Company's fault.

[MOJODRIVER87]

hThese buses were out of Houston and they sucked! Thats not something a High School coach should take care of much less plan for. It was totally the Bus Company's fault.

No I Didn't mean your Coach or Coaches in general.. I ment tour bus Coaches .. i guess thats the way u spell it.. true the tour buss company shoulda had that worked out b4 hand... they dropped the ball .. soo to speak..lol

Also I might Add that tour bus Companys Are alot like truckin companys .. Alot of them hire guys fresh out of driven schools generaly 4 to 6 weeks And Do not kno a whole lot of nuthen.. And concidering that most school districts are always tryen to cut corners And budgett the cheapest buses then you get what you pay for.. most charge by the mile.. and theres alot of undercutten going on.. soo if the school system Is lookin for the cheapest rates then you generaly gonna get a company that has very inexperinced drivers.

[KattTx]

I make this drive quite often and I really don't mind it at all. The first hour (from Odessa) is the most boring. The rest of the way, at least there is variation in the landscape and you have a little something to look at. There is rarely construction going West like there is going East. The speed limit is 80 (daytime) the entire way save for Ector and El Paso county and traffic's not bad like it can get on I-20.

One word of caution... weekends are BAD in regards to the Do-Right boys. They are usually thickest from Sierra Blanca on in to El Paso. I have seen on one Friday afternoon 17 patrolling that stretch of highway at the same time! That only counted for one unmarked - saw him because I happen to pass him.

[mojotrain]

LOL! Katt! You driving to EP and anyone else driving to EP for anyreason is not comparable. Now thats a argument of apples and oranges. Of course you don't mind the drive to EP.:)

[KattTx]

I'll have you know that I never go more than 5 miles over the speed limit. I usually set the cruise at 83 or so and the smokies don't seem to mind that. But as for going to El Paso, I have always loved that drive once you started getting into the foothills of the mountains.

El Hubbo did his basic there and was later stationed there, so I have been making that drive for over 20 years. It's much better now than it was then.:p

[has09]

I've always thought the El Paso chapter did a good job as long as no El Paso team is involved

After the whooooopping that MOJO put on El Dorado last season in Bi District, do Panther fans think El Dorado has a chance? I realize its new season, but its the same programs, can one year really make that much of a difference?

Permian is a completely different team than last year. I still think they win but Eldo has a better chance than last year. Eldo has some fantastic skill players.

Though El Dorado is going to have about the same district finish as they did last year, they are vastly improved. Especially defensively. They are the only team to shut down EP coronados offense and hold them to 10 points. Kilgore is a great RB and McFarland is getting serious looks from the 'Horns in Austin to lend his duties at WR after his senior year next year.

1-5A is probably the strongest I have ever seen it this year. Lets hope they prove me right come playoff time.

I just hope that you are wrong Sean.

[has09]

1-5A is much stronger than its ever been, 3 teams who are good enough to get to the third round. Franklin is a notch below but still decent enough to cause problems at times

[Sean Razloznik]

I agree, all top 3 teams montwood, el dorado and especially coronado could get 3 rounds deep. franklin has the capability to get to the second round but its not likely.

[mojotrain]

El Paso to the third round! Are you counting on Montwoods beating of Odessa High in the first game of the season as your gauge?

[JagFan]

I agree, all top 3 teams montwood, el dorado and especially coronado could get 3 rounds deep. franklin has the capability to get to the second round but its not likely.

Who does Coronado play first? I don't think a Coronado team has made to the third round since 1979. Correct?

[coriv]

They'll play either Midland High or Lee.

Thank you. I would love to catch a CHS game, maybe they will make it this far this year.

Good luck to all the El Paso teams.:)

[KattTx]

Coriv, what's the "probably" on OHS's first game? Someone posted double header with Permian on Saturday - but then heard they are playing same time as Permian but across town at the Sunbowl?

[mojotrain]

If el do is twice as good as last year(are they?) and Permian is half as good as they were last year(at least) then Permian still wins 31-28.

EL PASO -- District 1-5A already has its four playoff teams set, but 1-4A, 2-4A and 4-3A still have spots up for grabs going into the final game of the season. From there, the schools with higher enrollment will be placed in Division I of the playoff brackets, while those with lower enrollment will go to Division II.
Here is a district-by-district breakdown:

District 1-5A

Coronado (7-0) has clinched the district title and the top seed in Division II. Montwood, which is tied for second place with El Dorado and Franklin (all three are 5-2), is the lower seed.

In Division I, El Dorado can seal the higher seed with one more win. Franklin would take the lower seed. They can swap spots with a Cougars win and Aztecs loss.

http://www.epgridiron.com/

[EPFootball]

The 4 teams to make the playoffs from 1-5A will be the best that have shown up to make the playoffs in a while. Would yawl say 2-5A is having a down year ? EP Coronando , EP Franklin , EP Montwood and EP El Dorado are going to give 2-5A all good games. Im hoping 1-5A comes out on top against 2-5A 4-0

Thanks for the information. Let us know if you hear when/ what is definite.

[mojosoundwave]

Both of the EP games that affect our seeding are tonight, we should know alot today.

[odessapermian.com]

I think Neboh and T Smith are going to be running right past El Do's DBs all night long. Pipes has been close to setting a single game passing yardage record. He may do it next Saturday.

[BackNBlack97]

Not to mention ElDo hasn't seen a defense like what Permian's has the capability of doing if they play 4 quarters. They shut down OHS in the second half completely. Shut out Coronado. The only team that has had real success without turnovers was Amarillo, and that game.......

[has09]

El Do MOJO will be close especially since its in EP..I think Coronado wins...Montwood vs. Amarillo depends a lot on the location of the game

Certainly could even make history this year JagFan, history being past the 3rd round for an EP team. I dont know who we would likely play, I've heard Cedar Hill (which I hope doesnt happen). This team has some real good speed which I think is what seperates them from most EP teams and which is why I think they have a great shot to go deep in the playoffs.

[has09]

Whats the word on Montwood vs. Amarillo? Date and location??

Where would Coronado play Midland/Midland Lee?? Home and Home?? Odessa? Artesia? LOL

From the MRT website.

If it's Midland High the game vs. El Paso Coronado will be in El Paso at Thunderbird Stadium on Friday at 6:30.

If it's Lee the game will be in Midland at Grande Communications Stadium on Friday at 7:30.

Wow at least 7 playoff games in El Paso next weekend with the 4 4A games and 3 5A games

Both my wife and I were born in El Paso and we met and married there many moons ago. We both still have family there and I always have a soft spot in my heart for the 'ol border city. Certainly no disdain for any of the EP teams from me. As far as football goes, I am going to support my old mates from the former LSWC when it comes playoff time. I am pulling for them. However, I really expect 1-5A and 2-5A to split the 4 games next weekend. I really believe that OHS will win and I ain't sayin who I think the other 2-5A winner will be. ;) Good luck to all of you! We hopefully will be meeting up with one of you in a couple of weeks if all goes well in our game at Jerry World. :)

That would be something. Especially with that Coronado team from 79 planning their 30 year reunion next year. It sounds like this team is just as special as that one. Mayber better that team had a loss going into the playoffs. In the projection is looks to be maybe CHill. I will be cheering from Flower Mound and hope to catch a game.

[has09]

key for Coronado is the Weatherford-Burleson game...if Weatherford wins and makes the playoffs Abilene goes D1 and Coronado avoids Abilene I think they have a shot to get to round 3

Im cheering for all EP Teams in bi-dristrict. Does anybody know if Coronado or any EP team makes it 3rd deep if they would be playin in Dallas? I live in Dallas but graduated from Montwood. I would love to see and EP team play here. What are the possiblities ???

:notworthy

[mojotrain]

If a El Paso team team makes it to the second third or the fourth round I'm betting you play at Ratliff or at Grande. Chance of a El Paso team making it to the third round, about 25 percent or less.

You could throw Abilene and Lubbock in the mix too.

[EPFootball]

Abilene is not too bad ... Thanks

[mojotrain]

You could throw Abilene and Lubbock in the mix too.

True. Abilene would be good. It's a whopping 151 miles from D/FW to Abilene and only 443 miles from El Paso to to Abilene. If the pick is Lubbock thats a decent pickit's 293 from D/FW or 344 Miles from El Paso.

Grande is 303 from D/FW and 301 from El Paso. Ratliff is 281 from El Paso and 323 from D/FW. Halfway makes no sense at all.:confused:

A old Indian told me thats why they named Midland, Midland. Because it's halfway between El Paso Coronado and Allen:eek:Highschool.

There you are. There is to be a lot of action in El Paso this week end. My concern is Saturday, only. You can't tell with our little ole kids who will get on the bus to make the trip West. I expect only about 500 Permian fans to make the trip. Will El Darado fill in the rest of the place?

[EPFootball]

Yeah ELDO has a good following gonna be a good game .. Good luck to both teams. Hopefully the 1-5A teams come to play 4 quarters and make all games interesting and competitive.
