Panther, I was hoping we'd rejoin you guys but 6-5A has some very solid schools in it :)

[trojanbacker]

I'm having real trouble getting excited about this.

[chhspantherfan]

Panther, I was hoping we'd rejoin you guys but 6-5A has some very solid schools in it :)

miss you in bi-district also ;)

[The Observer]

Really not too bad. Better than last year's district in my mind. You have Trinity on one tier, Colleyville, Grapevine, MacArthur, and (maybe?) Richland as the second tier in my mind. Some might include Bell in that. Also have to fight to miss Cedar Hill in bi-district, but a pretty good draw for round 1 as well.

8-5A is by far the toughest district in region 1. Other than that, Little SWC back in swing and did anyone catch that Austin Westlake is Region 2 now? We'll see how they like not playing valley schools for half of your playoff games before the state final, makes it a tad bit tougher.

You are far nicer than I am ;) Outside of Trinity and Heritage that district is not very strong. My opinion of course.

Westlake in Region 2 will be tough, they have never faired well when they were in Region 2 and I do not see that chaning the next two years either.

have you seen the numbers?

Grapevine is coming back and can make things interesting but you are correct it is a two possibly 3 team district.

[chhspantherfan]

don't discount IMAC

[The Observer]

Grapevine is coming back and can make things interesting but you are correct it is a two possibly 3 team district.

In my mind, both 6-5A and 7-5A look about the same. Real top heavy, and not a lot of depth. 7-5A probably a little better up top with Coppell, and you don't know how Guyer will fare (although I think they'll be good)...I'd say 6-5A might have better depth since I would take Mac, Richland, and Bell over the Keller schools or Saginaw. Really, both districts should be easy for the top couple of teams....the big difference is 7-5A has to play the beast of 8-5A in round 1.

[CCCSportsFan]

Farmer, it's definitely a tough road to hoe by the simple fact Trinity is in this district for any of the teams. But Colleyville, a rising Grapevine program, and you'd think one of the Irving teams will make for some good games. The bottom few schools are really going to have their hands full for sure :eek:

But, nothing compares to the buzz saw of the new district 8-5A!!

[TxScout]

(9) teams in one district .. that leaves 1-2 non district games if they opt out of a bye week ..

Yeah the Irving schools were really down a year ago and while Grapevine made a lot of strides and should be commended based on the previous years I still do not think they will be a second round team this year. Then again it helps playing district 5 as opposed to 8 so who knows. I was hoping our schools would have landed in with Trinity just because I would love to see Marcus and Hebron take on Trinity. A Hebron-Trinity matchup would be a whale of a game next year but I guess we'll have to settle for Hebron-Allen instead:)

My son and I were talking last night and we both thought that SLC and Coppell would both end up with Trinity and Colleyville this time around. That would make for a very stout district. We also thought it would be rounded out with the Keller and not Irving schools.

My hunch was the Lewisville schools were going to shift east with SLC and Coppell landing somewhere else. When you combine LISD and Plano ISD, that's a 7 team ready made district to start with.

Actually the alignment of the new 6-5A and 7-5A was drawn up in some of the realignment speculation last month.

So, with Trinity probably playing in the Herbstreit, that leaves just 1 slot for non-district? that is going to be different.......not sure I'm too happy about that and wonder what SL and staff thinks?

Greeat hunch. I knew Guyer was moving up so they were going to be a wild card of sorts, with Carroll, Guyer and Coppell all being the only 5A school in their school districts then you never know what they UIL will do with them.
You are right, with our 4 schools and the Allen/plano schools making up another 4 then it makes complete sense, especially with no Mckinney or Wylie being in 5A.
It will definitely be tough for all of our schools. I just hope we step up to the plate and do some damage. We are going to be playing Goliath x3 and Little Goliath at least 4 times a year.

there's the spirit. ;)


I am like Soonertransplant though, in that, there is some decisions to be made. As in open date or zero week? With 8 district games, what do you do?

[powerofthehaka]

A lot will have to do with the Herbie, if they play in it. It's fun, but it can throw your schedule in a tizzy.

The alignment commitee looked at the old district and basically cut it into 2 pieces...

Not to get to far ahead of the game, but it could be interesting in 2 years to see what they do... By then Northwest Byron Nelson could be a 5A school. Add them in and 7-5A could stay intact...

that's the rub. When y'all did the Gatorade commercial, I knew the national spotlight would follow. Now, you must surely feel compelled to keep up those national appearances;)


don't ccc and the agrarian know that they don't live here?:D

hope y'all can put up with us for 2 more years. :)

[chhspantherfan]

Trinity will play Tyler Lee in 0 week and Shiloh Christian (Ark.) in week 1.

well, that would mean a bye in week 2, correct?

[JagFan]

I hope we keep our scrimmage with Heritage. That has become a lot of fun.

[TxScout]

nope .. then straight into district play .. no bye week

yea, your right. I was not thinking right. thanks

it has been fun, would like to see it continue.

Looking forward to it. One of the bright spots out of this realignment.

[JagFan]

it has been fun, would like to see it continue.

I guess all the coaches will be talking and then deciding. I can't wait for or booster meeting tonight.

[The Observer]

yea, your right. I was not thinking right. thanks

No, they will still have a bye...

Week 0..Tyler Lee
Week 1..Shiloh
Week 2..Bye
Week 3-10 - District (8 games)

[CCCSportsFan]

Nelson is predicted to stay 4A from all the people I have talked to. But anything can happen.

Is the growth now shifting more up towards Argyle and on the western side of 377 then?? If that's the case Nelson could remain a 4A for a couple of more realignment periods.

[chhspantherfan]

Looking forward to it. One of the bright spots out of this realignment.

I was going to write a farewell post on the last two years threads if we would have got split up. ;) Now back to your sandbagging routine.

[TxScout]

No, they will still have a bye...

Week 0..Tyler Lee
Week 1..Shiloh
Week 2..Bye

thats right .. I was thinking a total of 10 games ...

oh, Panther....I'm really glad we're still with GCISD, too. good friends with folks at both schools :D

But--Irving schools again??? really??? co-mingling Tarrant and Dallas County schools is just wrong :(

the issue for me is with the crowds. We were with Richland/Haltom in 06-07 and they don't draw real well. The Irving schools are known for not drawing well. HOPEFULLY that all has changed. I love a packed house on Friday night!!!

Agree on the crowds...but Keller schools (outside of Keller high) didn't draw real well either. So I think its kind of a wash from last year. I think Richland draws better as of late. The Irving schools don't draw at all though.

[trojanbacker]

Unless things have changed drastically since the last time we were in with the Irving schools, there just wasn't a lot of support for them at the games. Mac usually had a decent crowd, but Irving and Nimitz.....kids in the band would outnumber the fans. I guess this falls under the general heading of "things we can't control so don't worry about them."

That's always been the sad thing...Trinity crowds (and CHHS/GV) always have larger away contingents than most of the hometeams (and Bell is only large till half-time;)) in district play, regardless of where they put us. Last time we were in with IrvingISD, it was downright pitiful, even when Mac was playing well!

Yes

[JagFan]

We played Irving Nimitz two years ago and the stadium was nice. We called ahead and told we would be tailgating and they marked off an area for us and put out extra trashcans. Very nice people. I don't know if they share the stadium or not but lots of parking.

i like their stadium, real cozy and good game atmosphere. At least against IMAC two years ago. Good to hear about the courtesies they extended.

[TulsaHale74]

Thanks.

I like Friday night games, not Thursday or Saturday. Replacing the Kellers with the Irvings doesn't change the problem.

[trojanbacker]

Good for Bell. I've long criticized their non-district schedule. They've stepped it up this year. No more whining from me.

I call it the Irving Prison Stadium, mostly because of the concession stand.

No, it doesn't. When Trinity was scheduled for 2 away games with IISD, one of them was always on Thursday night.

How many they draw depends on their record at the time you play them. and whether or not they think they even have a chance to beat you which I dont see happening.

What is wrong with it? Playing Irving schools is ok. The team I miss playing every year is South Grand Prarie.

fifu x 2

[MALAMEDICINA]

Playoffs! Playoffs!!j/k but yeah I like my chances to make it to the playoffs, but this district is gonna surprise alot of people when its all set and done.

[chhspantherfan]

appears Grasshopper has missed some practice sessions ;):D

[TrinityTrojan80]

I am totally loving this district! Irving schools are always a mystery because there is not a dominate one amoung them. I grew up in Irving and went two years at Imac.

I guess my prayers were answered since I did not want the district going north. We just have four stadiums to travel to:
Birdville ISD
Pennington
Grapevine-Colleyville
ISD
They are almost equal distance (for me) and easy to get to on a Friday night. The approach from the south takes me down Spur 408, exit Irving Blvd and the stadium is right there.

Irving Nimitz's new coach has gotten things going so they are no longer a powderpuff. Imac always has talent! Richland and Haltom both stepped it up last year as well. Actually this district will be pretty competitive for the playoff spots.

Looking at it from the bottom up, I can't pick the bottom dweller here. It will be fun!

can't wait to see the schedule.

[Ntx]

Looks like Bell, Irving, will be among the bottom, the rest will be fun. What do we know about IMAC and Nimitz? I know Nimitz finished 7-3...

Ps... To compare Haltom and Nimitz, they played last year 14-13 Nimitz won in 2 overtimes.

IMAC returns their QB Frimpong, WR Johnny Haynes, among others. Good staff will have them ready.

Bell returns QB Mauro, RB Farrow, DB Buyers among others. I still can't figure out why Olivo can't win there.

[MLB3725]

The bottom will be competetive. But the top 2 shouldn't be overwhelmingly challenged at all... unless it is before week 3 or after the regular season. And of course the one game where CHHS plays Trinity.

Has Trinity ever lost to Colleyville at the varsity level? I know they are at least 4-0 in their last 4 meetings... I cant remember if they played a playoff game against each other or not.

Ah, I figured 4-0 was right since CHHS hasnt been around too long.

I am amazed at that rough first year for Colleyville. That is brutal. Glad to see them consistently among the areas top teams though. One of these days they will get over that hump.

What years did CHHS have Ponder at QB?

[Ntx]

Excited would be one way to describe Haltom coach Scot Hafley’s feelings about his school’s new home in District 6-5A.

Full of conviction would be another.

“Haltom will play anybody, anywhere, anytime,” said an emphatic Hafley of his Buffalos, who advanced to the playoffs out of District 3-5A last season. “We’ll meet them in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

“We’re excited about playing in a good, competitive district.”

And it’ll be competitive and have a neighborly feel. The Buffalos will share some borders in 6-5A with Colleyville Heritage, Euless Trinity, Grapevine, Hurst L.D. Bell, Irving, Irving MacArthur, Irving Nimitz and Richland.

“We’ve had a chance to improve our numbers and upgrade facilities, so we’ll be ready.”

Haltom will play former 3-5A foe Weatherford and Crowley in nondistrict. Crowley will be especially helpful, considering new Eagles new spread offense under newly hired Chris James...

2004 Ponder --passed for 1,500 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior starter

[Trinity Trojan Fan For Li]

The new 6-5A feels like old times. I'm glad that Colleyville Heritage and Grapevine stayed in our district.

On a personal note and gripe, I hope that when Trinity is on the road, the concession stands are opened early and have plenty of food and staff. Even Pennington Field is a witch for long lines at the concession stands now. Don't they realize they're losing money because fans don't want to stand in the long lines for food?

great point !

9 teams
4 stadiums

can't wait to see the schedule.

Lots of Thursday night games. Ugh I may not be able to make it to all of them because I am in college.

Does anybody else hate how Bell and Trinity play on Thursday night now just because they dont want Bell and Trinity kids out partying after the game? Not that Bell ever has much to party about after the game.

[Trojanalum693]

Has anyone confirmed that Trinity is not playing in the Herbstreit? Or does anybody know where I could find such information?

[chhspantherfan]

What construction?

Lots of Thursday night games. Ugh I may not be able to make it to all of them because I am in college.

Does anybody else hate how Bell and Trinity play on Thursday night now just because they dont want Bell and Trinity kids out partying after the game? Not that Bell ever has much to party about after the game.

Also, it gives the coaches a chance to scout future playoff teams on Friday night.

I hope the Trinity-Bell game is scheduled early in district for obvious reasons.

I think this district will be better than most folks think. I definately feel it got an upgrade with Irving Nimitz, Irving MacArthur and Richland coming on board. I don't know much about Haltom except they've got a kid who I was hoping would be wearing Trojan colors next year but they moved, what can you do.

How is Grapevine looking next year? Don't they lose a bunch?

IrvingMac returns who at RB? The Chill folks tell me Mac's departed runningback was better than Abilene's Sims.

Haltom made the playoffs last year, albeit barely. I think they are on the rise.

Nimitz is up and coming.

Richland, in 07 had the best freshman class that we played. We were in with them and Haltom in that alignment.

Grapevine is reborn. The quiet you hear from them us deafening, methinks Hennigan believes he will be better this year than last.

James Sims is a special player, we faced him each of the last two years. Big body but feet like Tusan.

I agree Panther, we were in the same district that year and our freshman played yours in a barn-burner game that year :)

A couple weeks later we pulled out a win against Richland in the 4th quarter. They had an absolute stud running back on that team. I don't know if he's still at Richland, but he was very good :)

The bottom will be competetive. But the top 2 shouldn't be overwhelmingly challenged at all... unless it is before week 3 or after the regular season. And of course the one game where CHHS plays Trinity.

Has Trinity ever lost to Colleyville at the varsity level? I know they are at least 4-0 in their last 4 meetings... I cant remember if they played a playoff game against each other or not.

Their men's basketball team beat Trinity last night.

Will be Sr and Jr respectively in the fall. Will be interesting with the loss of Tyler Cotton at QB as he was a big part of their offense. But Burns is listed as a QB and had quite a few touches this past year.

9 teams
4 stadiums

can't wait to see the schedule.

Am I missing something? Only 8 of them could be playing each other on any given week. Sounds like a mid-district bye week for everyone at one point or another. So, 8 teams in 4 stadiums isn't so hard to schedule after all.

At Grapevine - the youngest Harbin is there too, and I think he will figure in. Grapevine lost a lot of people, but I think they'll make a playoff spot in this district.

Also, no offense to Haltom and Richland, but they both played in probably the worst district in the metroplex last year, so although they looked pretty good last year, my guess is they are still Haltom and Richland, and this isn't the early to mid-90's.

While Bell should have a lot coming back, I have to see it to believe it after last year. Not sold on Mauro. Liked the kid they had that ran the Wildcat for them better.

I-Mac has a lot coming back. Sims is gone, but they had another back (Haynes) that played some WR last year that will be a good one. They need QB play in a bad way and if they get it they will be dangerous. Lots of athletes and they ususally play very good defense (Basil was a solid DC before getting the head job). Nimtz turned it around somewhat last year, but also had a couple of real special players that are now gone, so we will see if they can continue it.

I think there is no question that this district is tougher than last year though, simply by adding Macarthur into it. Still not 8-5A, but pretty solid all the way down after Trinity.

I don't think it's a scheduling problem, it's just that three teams will be playing in Irving on Thursday nights. For three of the nine weeks there isn't an issue because one of the Irving teams will have the bye. But of the other six weeks three will have two Irving teams at home and three will have only one. I recommend Trinity, Bell, Grapevine play on Thursdays this year and Richland, Haltom, and Trinity play on Thursdays next year.:D

No freaking way Bell beats SLC! Even if they somehow get lucky and do this SLC team is nothing like that one back in 06 that Trinity played. If Bell has to hold that over our heads to make themselves feel better about not beating us in the last 12 years then it shows how shallow they are.

[Trojanalum693]

If we had all stayed with the Keller schools, it would have been worse, I just saw that Keller now has 4 high schools using that one stadium!

True. But I believe the school just opened so they wont be playing varsity football until 2011 or 2012. Keller tried to build another stadium but the citizens voted it down b/c they didn't want to pay for it.

[Trojanalum693]

Trinity always did Spring Ball when I was there so I dont know why they wouldn't have it now.

[Trojanalum693]

I am totally loving this district! Irving schools are always a mystery because there is not a dominate one amoung them. I grew up in Irving and went two years at Imac.

I guess my prayers were answered since I did not want the district going north. We just have four stadiums to travel to:
Birdville ISD
Pennington
Grapevine-Colleyville
ISD
They are almost equal distance (for me) and easy to get to on a Friday night. The approach from the south takes me down Spur 408, exit Irving Blvd and the stadium is right there.

Irving Nimitz's new coach has gotten things going so they are no longer a powderpuff. Imac always has talent! Richland and Haltom both stepped it up last year as well. Actually this district will be pretty competitive for the playoff spots.

Looking at it from the bottom up, I can't pick the bottom dweller here. It will be fun!


I think BISD has two stadiums. That one on Mid Citites Blvd, and there is an older one which is pretty crappy out by Haltom or Richland I think.

If Bell were to somehow beat SLC, isn't that a plus for our district? The only thing that matters to me is that Trinity continue the beatdown of Bell when they play each other. What is it? 12 and counting?

'New number, same district
This year’s District 6-4A will become next year’s 5-4A, for the most part. The district added the two new area schools, Keller Timber Creek and Trophy Club Byron Nelson, as Saginaw headed to 5A and Mineral Wells dropped to 3A.
“It’s pretty much the same deal,” Aledo coach Tim Buchanan said. “The big difference will be in the playoffs because we’ll go against the Fort Worth schools instead of the Denton schools.”
Said White Settlement Brewer coach Paul Sharr: “I think it’s a good district. Aledo is of course the team to beat still, but I think it’s going to be very competitive. I’m excited about it.” "

good idea to look at these, I was waiting for the new ones. But, you are right. It should be close to this. If so, then the only way we are D1 is if the three smallest make the playoffs, which is a possibility. I really see IMAC in the mix though.

[chhspantherfan]

anyone know anything about this LB at Richland that is a verbal to Nebraska next year or their Soph of year LB ?

[da hawaiian]

Our first round opponents are gonna come out of the new 5-5A ofcourse

From largest to smallets: (Using 2008 numbers)

*SGP (3718)
*Duncanville (3697)
*CedarHill (2512)
Mansfield (2175)
Grand Prarie (2166)
Midlothian (2059)
Mansfield Timberview (2056)
Mansfield legacy (2048)

Then our 2nd round will be a trip NE to the winner of 7-5A vs 8-5A

7-5A: (using 2008 numbers)

NW (3005)
Coppell (2962)
Keller (2923)
KellerCentral (2928)
Carroll (2545)
FossilRidge (2145)
Denton Guyer (1995)
Saginaw (1905)

8-5A:

PESH (5852)
Plano (5215)
Allen (4837)
PlanoWest (4229)
Lewisville (3671)
FlowerMound (2997)
Marcus (2906)
Hebron (2513)

Looks like the easiest road in round 1 for 6-5A Will be number1 DII rep, I think 5-5A will have 3 really good teams (which happen to be the 3 largest)and then thin afterwards.

It looks like to me from those numbers that Cedar Hill has a decent chance to go D2. SGP was rebuilding last year a little, but that district is pretty weak. The key for the first round will be being the 1 seed in both brackets, so you would miss Cedar Hill for sure. Looks like the Panthers/Stangs could be watching Richland real close all year to see if they bump Heritage up to D1.

[da hawaiian]

With so many seniors you knew CedarHill had a good JV. They hung a 55 to 7 loss on our JV I understand, their only loss of the year.

.... Looks like the Panthers/Stangs could be watching Richland real close all year to see if they bump Heritage up to D1.
Shouldn't the statement be that Panthers will be watching Stangs and Richland? :) Grapevine's only concern is themselves. They control their own future as to the DII W or R spot. Obviously Colleyville can influence their destiny some (DI vs. DII) by beating Grapevine and Richland thereby helping to keep one or both out of the playoffs but can't control it.

You are right. I should have just said Colleyville. Grapevine is D2 no matter what, but they can miss Cedar Hill by being the top seed in D2. Pretty conceivable to think that Colleyville/Grapevine game could again have massive playoff implications if you assume Trinity and Mac are the D1 reps.

[Trojanalum693]

just offseason. still makes me want to go sit in the stands. :D

I know what you mean.

I can't wait until football season.

[Trojanalum693]

Since we won't get enrollment numbers for another 2 weeks (Feb19) I thought I'd look at what enrollment numbers were last time around. My guess it'll probably not move around much.

From Largest to smallest: (Using 2008 numbers)

Euless Trinity (2984)
IrvMacArthur (2852)
IrvNimitz (2790)
Irving (2734)
LD Bell (2666)
FW Haltom (2575)
Heritage (2461)
GrapeVine (2212)
Richland (2104)

For Trinity looks like we might be D1 locks again

Yes! :)

Gotta love always being in D1.

[Trojanalum693]

The Grapevine/Colleyville game is going to have massive playoff implications. It should add a little extra splash to this rivalry.

Looks like we could be looking at another matchup against Plano in the playoffs. But I believe that we will be playing Allen in second round though because Plano wont be as good as Allen.

[da hawaiian]

If Allen and Trinity are the D1 Winners, then they would only meet up in the Region finals. There's a chance Trinity could see Plano in the 2nd round again :Censor:

With that districts depth, there's no guarantee that even Plano will make the POF's

Agreed. I think Plano will have a tough time making it into the playoffs.

I really don't want to see :Censor: Plano again mainly because for some reason they always play us close even when they are not as good as us.

[Trojanalum693]

I want revenge against Allen for knocking us out of the playoffs in 08 when we were ranked #1 in the nation and finally overshadowed Carroll as the prime team in Texas. Allen just had to screw that up.

Is there any chance of Trinity playing Carroll?

[da hawaiian]

There is always that chance, I would rather avoid a round2 game with a ringer myself. But that may be unavoidable with how that Bi-area is stacked. It looks like for the next 2 years anyways, we're gonna be in a battle every week.

But I don't think KFR or Saginaw will earn one of their 4 spots meaning Carroll goes DII.

and there will be very little chance we go D1...so, we would catch them if both got that far. They are replacing 20 starters so it may be a moot point. No early predictions here, but I am optimistic about our chances this year.

I'm ok with the teams in the district. My misgivings are mostly about superficial things like the fans and facilities.

can anyone copy and paste that text here? It won't load on my browser

New addtions are intriguing, 2 or potentially 3 of the 5 may challenge for the district title and give Colleyville, Grapevine and Trinity a real run for the money. I don't have to remind anyone about the battles Mac used to give us. We lose Keller but I have a feeling Richland and Mac are and maybe Nimitz are gonna provide some interesting plot lines this fall. The quick turnaround with Richland is a nervewracker. Really wish we could have worked out a district bye week for that weekend.

I don't and I can't find one anywhere, sorry.

[da hawaiian]

thankyou for looking

and thanks Trojanbacker

[da hawaiian]

What will be Colleyville's most urgent area to address? I think you have 4 returning on both offense and defense. The positive is you've got Calvert coming back on offense. I really liked Dennington your OLB, not to mention corner Burchfield made sophomore of the year for defense.

They are being a bit snarky about the full page ad saluting the 3 championships on pg. 3 of the S-T's sports section Sunday. We're such a poor district, where did the money for THAT come from? ;)

Oh, and for the person who asked about the Herbie...we ARE playing Shiloh. DMN had an update on Friday, 2/5 from Coach. He put it to the team and they still want to play, so the contract's a done deal! It's on the homepage of the THS website, too.

I don't have to remind anyone about the battles Mac used to give us. We lose Keller but I have a feeling Richland and Mac are and maybe Nimitz are gonna provide some interesting plot lines this fall. The quick turnaround with Richland is a nervewracker. Really wish we could have worked out a district bye week for that weekend.

Mac hasn't given us a good game since 05 when the score was 31-24. In 06 it was 28-7 and in 07 it was 48-10. Though before 05 you are right they always gave us a battle. Back in that old 7-5a it was always Mac or SGP that was supposed to challenge Trinity. Though I miss SGP I like this district better because there will be more challenges in it.

I still think Trinity will go undefeated in District, but I do think that there will be some very close games along the way. The more times Trinity is tested the better. It will better prepare us for the playoffs. Even if it means having a few losses.

[trojanbacker]

Go back one more year.....to 2004......and Mac beat us pretty good at Pennington, 41 - 28. The only thing I can remember about that game was that they had a real mobile quarterback and a tall, lanky receiver who burned us.

[chhspantherfan]

Optimistic huh???????

:ninja:


where's the guy with the big finger icon? :mad:

[chhspantherfan]

they go the other way in the bracket this year, 6-5A gets the CHILL district and all.

Don't know if they are on y'alls level or not, but watch for them to be really strong this year.

Yeah you are right. They did beat us pretty good in 04. However we are 14-4 against them all time(when they are in our district) if my calculations were correct.

Before 04 you have to go all the way back to 91 when mac beat us 16-13. And yes it was a close game.

[Trojanalum693]

they go the other way in the bracket this year, 6-5A gets the CHILL district and all.

Hopefully you can avoid CHILL in the first round. Otherwise I think you guys will definitely make it out of the first round.

Although you guys could beat CHILL. I don't know who they have returning and whatnot but they probably had guys to replace them.

From the revenue from our football games most likely. We generate the district so much money from our football games.

But what makes you think that the School district paid for it? It could have been a private donor or something like that.

Hopefully you can avoid CHILL in the first round. Otherwise I think you guys will definitely make it out of the first round.

Although you guys could beat CHILL. I don't know who they have returning and whatnot but they probably had guys to replace them.

up until last year, we played them on a regular basis with some awesome games.

IF we make the playoffs, we most likely will be D2 and should catch a reasonable opponent in the first round. We really need to get that monkey off our back !! SHUT UP D'PANTS :mad:

As for CHILL, they are in y'alls position of simply reloading. McGuire has it going on out there !!

[chhspantherfan]

From the revenue from our football games most likely. We generate the district so much money from our football games.

But what makes you think that the School district paid for it? It could have been a private donor or something like that.

see bottom of ad ;)

Tback and I know that it probably came from the equaliztion funds though !!!

I believe Mac returns 10, 4 on defense and 6 on offense I believe. They take a big hit in their front7 and offensive skill positions. However they do return QB Frimpong and their number one WR Jonny Haynes. They lose a few on the OL but I'd be lying if I said that was an area of strength, their Dline was pretty good and that unit is completely gone.

Early area of strenth will be thier defensive backfield as they return 3 of 4, they look especialy athletic back there. The graduation of James Sims (who signed with Kansas) has to be a painful loss. He was a huge chunck of their offense.

On paper a district title might be a tall order, but I'm sure they'll be in the running for one of those 4 playoff spots.

I know this sounds stupid. Do you know who Bell has returning and who they lost? I dont see them contending for a playoff spot unless they got some really good talent.

Here goes!!!!

Went into Walgreens in Bedford yesterday and what do they have???They have State Championship t-shirts out on display for sale.

So why am I so upset about it? Well the Trinity Trojan football booster club makes most of its money on t-shirt sales. We depend on it! The money from these t-shirt sales goes directly back to our program for things like ....knee braces, socks, football banquet, replacing helmets, DVD's, and the list goes on and on. Why should a BIG CORPORATE STORE like Walgreens and Albertsons get to profit off of the hard work and dedication of our boys who just Won STATE. In my opinion they shouldn't!!!! I spoke to the assistant manager and he just had this dumb look on his face like...duh...I would not be so pissed if they supported us at all during the season, but they DON'T DO SQUAT for the team..I have asked them in the past if they would buy an ad for our program and the response was "We don't do that"...I asked Mr. Assistant Manager if he had ever even been to a Trinity Trojan football game and he said "No, where do they play?" What a dumb bunny!
So PLEASE anyone reading this ....DO NOT BUY A T-SHIRT showing your support for our team from anyone other than the Official Trinity Trojan Football Booster Club.

T-Shirts will be on sale this next Tuesday at the High School gym. Go to the website and get the details at www.TrinityTrojanfootball.com (http://www.trinitytrojanfootball.com/)

Sorry for the rant, I am just really passionate about NOT letting people take money from our kids. And when they sell shirts, they do not give us anything, it all goes into their pockets.

SUPPORT YOUR TEAM THROUGH the Booster Club...
Thanks,
Arlissa

It is just bugging the heck out of me...If people knew that we (the football program) only gets 16K a year to buy everything that they have to have, they might understand...We have played at least 14 games the last 3 years and played more than 10 games nearly every year for this decade. A helmet cost $200.00 and a jersey cost $100.00...We have over 100 boys just on Varsity. I am not sure what we had on JV teams this year, but the budget just does not stretch and so they really depend on US (The booster club) to help with other expenses.

Please everyone wait until Tuesday to buy a t-shirt and not one at Albertsons or Walgreens.

But what makes you think that the School district paid for it? It could have been a private donor or something like that.
I started the money issue to be funny as part of the typical banter between certain Trinity and Colleyville Heritage posters.

But if people want to take it serious then I suggest you read these two posts I quoted. If the football program is making so much money then why does it seem Trinity can barely keep it's team in uniforms and equipment? Why is an expensive full page color advertisement in the Sunday paper a good use of money for the school, district, or a private donor? Shouldn't a private donor give to the booster club if the team is in such dire straights?

As I said in my first post though, the poster is very, very cool.

[chhspantherfan]

IMAC returns their QB Frimpong, WR Johnny Haynes, among others. Good staff will have them ready.

Bell returns QB Mauro, RB Farrow, DB Buyers among others. I still can't figure out why Olivo can't win there.

daHawaiian and I think alike ;):D

Problem about the money is they take money away from the football team and give it to other sports. Even though football is the most participated in sport the other sports are given the money that we generate so they can buy new stuff. They end up with better uniforms and equipment then the football team.

Also whenever Trinity gets new uniforms they give Bell new uniforms too. We earned our new uniforms and Bell got new stuff due to Trinity's success.

I can remember when there was only one Booster Club (BC) for all the sports at Trinity. The other sports' parents witched about not getting enough money from the BC even though most of the money was generated by football and football parents. That was in the early 90's. I wasn't in the BC when each sport broke into their own BC but I'm glad it happened.
Just a bit of Trinity trivia.

Where do you think the money came from to pay for this ad? Ironic, ain't it? ;)

The school board raked leaves to pay for this

they got enough coming back to beat SLC this year but not ET:eek:

think of it this way the Football program has brought so much attention and money to the school that at least they could do is send a thank you card;)

The craziest thing I didnt know until I was at work, than went to the WC and there it was a copy of the paper. Yep the copy I own came from a public WC. OOps.

Bell won't have enough to beat Irving

Mauro, Farrow, and Buyers are pretty good players. I am sure that there are others. Why can't they win? They remain a huge mystery to me.

[da hawaiian]

It's Bell :rolleyes:

they must have really rubbed it in back in the Edwards' days, huh?

Great players does not equal great TEAM. Look at the number of schools that year in and year out have superior athletes and underachieve.
It comes down to coaching and parents.
Without good coaching you are doomed.
Great coaching and no support or care from the parents means that the lessons learned from that great coach are not being reinforced at home. No push to do off season workouts or study the playbook etc etc etc.


oops almost forgot:ninja:

interesting.......I don't have any knowledge of the Bell players home lifes. But I have always thought Olivo was a good teaching coach, back to his Grapevine days. I really thought they would break thru last year, that is why they remain a mystery to me.

I have no knowledge either nor am I insinuating that I do, it was just a general statement that talent does not equal victory.

They lose a few on the OL but I'd be lying if I said that was an area of strength, their Dline was pretty good and that unit is completely gone.

On paper a district title might be a tall order, but I'm sure they'll be in the running for one of those 4 playoff spots.

Haynes will be the RB for Mac next year. He carried the ball a lot last year as well, especially late in the season. He's pretty electric as a runner, though, and he'll be a big time D1 kid at the end of the year. For Mac, it comes down to QB play. I can see them playing Frimpong at WR, and going in another direction at QB. He can really run, but is beyond horrible throwing the ball. They were so much better late in the year when they starting running Wildcat with Sims and Haynes back there together, which doesn't bode well for your QB. On defense, there secondary is really good, but they lost a pretty potent D-Line. I expect them to challenge everyone other than Trinity, and I think they will make the playoffs.

The big question will remain Bell. I know Mauro was listed as a "Top 50" player, but everytime I saw him last year, he threw the ball to the other team. And Farrow has hurt a lot. I wouldn't trust them until they proved they can play next year. I'm like Panther - they are a great mystery. They have a good staff over there, they just couldn't get it rolling last year.

I thought that last year. He is a talented kid, it will be interesting to see how it plays out over there. I hope we catch them earlier rather than later.

I thought Bell was going to have a big year last year and it just didn't happen for them for various reasons. I think that sometimes....call it karma or chemistry or whatever.....the pieces just don't fall into place. Wouldn't surprise me if they put it all together this year.

and as I recall, their #1 JVs had a few good looking players. I just don't get it. maybe this the year? We will start to see this spring:D If it ever gets here :mad: Supposed to snow tomorrow night !!!

"The big question will remain Bell. I know Mauro was listed as a "Top 50" player, but everytime I saw him last year, he threw the ball to the other team."

Observer, with all due respect -- and not saying Bell didn't have a disappointing season -- but it wasn't due to the qb "throwing the ball to the other team" -- Mauro led the metroplex among all junior qbs in throwing for the lowest number of ints (4) of all qbs with 200 or more pass attempts...
