I agree completely and I am from central Texas. As for the games, Desoto looks like a school out of Miami with all their speed. They have to be one of, if not the fastest team in the country.
Hell, you think an OK school playing a TX school is pointless...Copperas Cove (central TX school) is playing a high school from Mexico! Wtf?
I went to Trinity. Old Pennington Field is the rickety old wooden stadium that is in Euless (it may have been torn down by now). THe one in Bedford is HEB stadium...and since it was built my Jr Year......we will hardly call it old sir!
Interesting, the dude who told me about the game was also a Trinity alum, but he was probably more my age and referred to the HEB stadium as Pennington. My son played at HEB and I recall it being a very nice HS stadium. I still think it would be cool to see the game at Cowboys. Boomer
Thing I liked about Pennington is when you coached or played playoff games there they'd give you these cool nameplates on your locker and when you left you could take em with you.
Who pays for the travel out of state? The school? Some Booster club? Seems like a giant waste of money for a state that has so many failing schools. As for the Jenks game, It was close at half, but their starting RB got knocked out of the game and they were already missing their top two WRs. They are down a little talent wise, but will still be competitive in this state.
Seems like since the name Pennington Field had been such a big name for tons of us who attended Trinity or Bell, that HEB Stadium became known to a lot of people as "the New Pennington" when it was built. Heck for all I know they may have officially adopted it. Or maybe its "Pennington Field" at "H.E.B. Stadium"
