Love the confidence Brian. Trouble is, I have watched "video" as well. Key pieces Graham is missing. Celina Oline and Celina RB. Argyle got their butt whipped on defense no doubt. Out played, out physicaled, out schemed, out desired..... +Celina is really good on offense. This is an early season lesson for the Eagles. They cannot waltz into games, roll their helmets out, and expect to win. Too much complacency, and believe me, I am not taking anything away from Celina, they are really good on offense and played a tenacious game on D. However, this has be coming for Argyle. I have heard that this will be a very different week of preparation for Argyle and it started on Saturday morning. If Graham comes into Argyle and beats this team in its home opener after a loss they took on Friday, then hats off to you. There is a lot of pride in that locker room with some very talented players that are not happy with the way they played on Friday.
Everyone picked yall to beat Celina.. You didnt..everyone is picking yall to beat us.. Well we will see.. BTW our O line is among the best. so if you are counting this as a weakness you are making a mistake... funny thing is we have nothing to lose..so watch out..that is a formula for an upset..nevertheless.. my true goal is that both teams come out of it healthy.. Best of luck man.. I know the game will be at least worth the price of admission...:rolleyes:

Graham oline is "among the best" using what criteria? How are you grading? What is the measure?? I can say the same thing about the Argyle defense that you so boldly proclaim that you think you guys can run against. The defense you are so confident in playing that you say "I like this". Are you guys planning for the Argyle you saw vs Celina or the team that beat Abilene Wylie on the road in week 1??? The same AW that just took you guys down at home? I expect you will get an Argyle that is better than either of those 2. No predictions but, I like this!

I said ..our O line is among the best.. I said.. I like this. I SAID ...WE CAN RUN! Me, myself & I..... Is that not why we are here?.. We ran against yall last year we have basically the same O run wise minus a center and one guard.. You have basically the same D.... Don't get angry fella this is a place to let your opinions be known.. calm down a little.. geese.. I think we will win.. no matter how mad you are or if you are upset because of Friday ...IMO... we have nothing to lose.. We are going to come to Argyle relaxed and ready.. Graham by 7

I challenged your assertion and your comeback is "calm down a little". Also, you have incredible emotional intelligence since you believe you can determine my mood based on a forum post. I am not angry and could really care less how you feel about the game. It's just classic Brian Dumith, throw rock at someone then complain that they threw one back at you. Back to the book Brian.

And just so everybody knows.. I don't care about any of this.. If you think I do then you would be very wrong.. just keeping things lively because it is fun.. My stuff is not about this year.. I Am Still A Fan.. and the "rocks I throw" are intended to draw a response.. Thought that was obvious.. Eazy E once said all publicity is good publicity.. ;)

If Graham doesn't make any lineup changes which I very seriously doubt they will due to the fact they don't want to deal with any parents I will take Argyle by 21+. If they prove me wrong and do make some changes this could be a 7 point game going either way.

last i looked..parents are not the ones in charge of starting lineups..i would say the head coach has been successful enough, that his decisions are respected

Not gonna give anymore details than this because I take what I hear as a grain of salt vs what I see, but I heard there's some changes been made. If it's true , I think you'll see some improvements for sure. For once , I'm not making a pick in this one. Two power programs have had a dose of reality, and whoever learns the most from it, makes adjustments needed no matter who it upsets, and is hungrier wins this game.

No i have not seen this particular article but yeah.. I think Patterson knows... he just keeping it quiet maybe and respect for Freeze.. I think I figured it out... but I'm not going to say what I think I know. That would be way stupid. Not that I don't say stupid things all the time I do. But this is way too important to say what I think and not to say what I know. I will say this ...Maybe it's a situation that requires reflection. I also think that we will be seeing him back on the field in a matter of weeks and this will just be a bump in the road of a potentially great career..

Great hosts? What about that introduction taking a direct shot at Graham from last years semi game? What about none of those kids not taking a knee when Martin was hurt? People always talk about losing with class, but these guys need to learn how to win with a little as well.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. I heard you in the stands screaming "take a knee Argyle" but what does taking a knee during an injury prove???? I don't see it in college football nor the pros. I highly doubt that the players not taking a knee was a statement that "we don't care about injured players". Quit with the political correctness grandma.

Taking a knee is a bit of a small town tradition.. Something lost in the big city areas.. If the game were in Graham I would totally expect Argyle to respect it..but in the city folks don't seem to care as much. Good or bad it is just the truth.. Larger school 5a and above do not take the knee....just watch a few... Just goes to show.. Argyle is gonna be in the big city school mosh pit soon enough..I'd say in the next 6 or 7 years... Pop said 3200.. yes in 2010.. not anymore...They should enjoy the dominance of the smaller school divisions (I would)..because it is not going to last long....

Sent from my SCH-I545 using TapatalkThis is true. It is a respect thing in smaller towns. Same thing at the end of the game your team goes and stands behind the other team while they play their school song then they return the favor--it's a sign of respect. We did it last night when Birdville played their school song--they looked at us like 'What are you doing?'.

BTW--hope Turner is OK--great kid and tough as nails...

You will see plenty of taking a knee at the 8u soccer games today. Out guys were getting water on a hot night and your injured player was an inch away from me sitting up.... acted like he was cramping. If there is anything worse than a finger wagger, it's a hypocritical finger wagger. Now, Back to your prefect life country boy.

Were you involved in the parent brawl at the 7v7 game? Guess that's a small town "we just protecting our own" kinda thing. What's worse, parents rushing a field to brawl during a game or a couple of players not taking a knee when an opposing player loses his breath? Yee Haw!!!

Watch the the video Booby Boucher...the adults were breaking up the fight..no adult did anything other than that... Why are you so soar about the knee thing.. Oh I know..hehe it's that impending doom when y'all get to be a bigger school... it's screwing with your mind..hehehe..it should

This is true. It is a respect thing in smaller towns. Same thing at the end of the game your team goes and stands behind the other team while they play their school song then they return the favor--it's a sign of respect. We did it last night when Birdville played their school song--they looked at us like 'What are you doing?'.

BTW--hope Turner is OK--great kid and tough as nails...
Thank you..

Just what I thought. A hypocritical response justifying an ugly fight during a game. Finger wagging hypocrite. They are the worst. And yes you are into me. I am so fearful about Argyle moving to 5A in 4 or 5 years. Sucks that we will have to watch Graham win multiple 6 man state championships.

We take a knee.. actually pray before the game on the loudspeaker for God and everyone else to hear... we respect the other team by standing behind them during their school song. We asked other team to join us for the Lord's Prayer on the 50.. Small town stuff..I will take it.. The respect and love for one another.. Maybe you city boys should adopt some small town traditions..maybe

You will see plenty of taking a knee at the 8u soccer games today. Out guys were getting water on a hot night and your injured player was an inch away from me sitting up.... acted like he was cramping. If there is anything worse than a finger wagger, it's a hypocritical finger wagger. Now, Back to your prefect life country boy.

This is funny to me....Argyle is a'country' town butted up to a bigger country town Denton. City by no strectch...you're in closer proximity to Krum and Sanger than you are to Dallas or Ft. Worth. Yes, you guys are experiencing growth, but don't drink the Kool-aid and lose what makes small town football special. Scroll up and look at those football players and cheerleaders at the elementary school. Arglye should invest in a little more of that than pining to ascend up the classification ranks, just so you can get thumped by teams like Denton Guyer.

I have a lot of respect for Arglye and the program that they have....and im sure, like most things, you are an outlier among the Argyle fatihful.....but don't get it twisted, you are what you are....a country town hoping for bigger and better things....but be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.

To Graham, here's to speedy recovery for you QB. I'm hoping for the best.

My response was to another Graham poster questioning the class of the Argyle players. Why you decided to jump in is beyond me. The Eagles have plenty of class, win or lose. The Graham players were awesome last night. Why you guys want to come on here and bash Argyle for not taking a stupid knee during an injury is classless imo. This is what I have come to expect from you, start a fight insinuating things about other teams/posters then try to act as if you have no idea why someone is questioning you. At least your a consistent finger wagging hypocrite.

Taking a 'stupid' knee...or holding a stupid door for a lady...or helping the elderly across the stupid street.....yeah, all can be justified as to why one should or should not do it....that wasn't my point of contention....I was speaking more of your personal jabs and overall tone about the entire thing.....and the fact that Arglye is just as country as most all places in 4a....This board is open for anyone to reply to anyone....if you don't want a response to a half-cocked comment, then send a PM....that feature works nicely on here.

You are the one with the passive aggressive name calling, "city boys". Pretty sure you are using that in a negative way. Lots of folks in Argyle don't want the urban sprawl to take over but don't have much choice. I did hear the prayer last night over the PA before the game. Did you not hear it? Also Argyle team at center of field after game with Graham players praying. Guess you left game early and didn't see that. Last enrollment numbers by UIL; Graham 707.7, Argyle 698.

Taking a knee is not a sign of small town or big town. City or country. LH is small and in the sticks, and I can't recall the last time it was I saw our guys take a knee during an opposing team injury. We show respect by playing a team as hard as we can, help them up after giving or even receiving a solid hit, keep our mouths shut on the field and just play the game, and at the end offer a hearty congrats win or lose. If a team chooses to take a knee, good for them. But don't think for a second that the opposing team has any less respect for the other team or ill will towards the injured player if they don't.

Brian, you started with "if the game was in Graham I would expect Argyle to respect it.....but in the city folks don't seem to care as much". You have called us city folks and big city on multiple occasions so therefore our kids "don't seem to care as much"? I'm supposed to take that as a compliment to our town and players?? Besides, I know a ton of "city folks" and they are awesome, caring people. Your point was that Argyle folks and players just aren't as respectful as Graham folks. That's bs. I, unlike you, have a dog in the fight. Believe it or not, he and his teammates are respectful good kids. If you or other posters want to question that then I am going to jump in for sure.

Well panfan.. all I can say is this... I have been either covering or watching small town football for the last 30 years and they almost always take a knee.. almost 100% of the time.... every team ....every time ...every field.. I guess I just have not been to one of your games

Calling it like it is. You come on here trying to say, if you don't do it like us then you are less of a team/person:player.... I don't owe you or anyone else on here an apology. If you come on and question the class of our players and program, but then defend bad actions by your own team then that's hypocritical. Getting in a brawl at a 7v7 event is not classy, however you want to spin it. Then you get on here and try to say Argyle players / backers have less class??? Your an arsonist. You like to passively throw barbs out there then try and claim innocence. I'm not buying it.

Does calling another team classless change that your 1-3? Or is this just how yall COPE with a butt kicking? If teams don't do everything like Graham does, their doing it wrong.

Say what you want on here.. this doesn't really matter ..but put out that on a loud speaker for all to here is classless.. This isn't the pros it is teenage boys.. That is unsportsmanlike any way you want to wrap it up... and no one has said anything negative about the play of the game... They beat us.. We all know this.. We are not saying this was a bad play.. or our refs stink.. or they got lucky on that play .. nope not at all. We are saying lets do this with class... The PA is not in place to taunt the other team... and that's exactly what happened.. sorry if you cant see this... and my book is not about this season..

Argyle is not a good host. Yeah that's gonna wad the panties of a few but I don't care. They really feel entitled there and with the money spent to keep talent coming in they probably should in their own house. I mean stop and listen when they announce sponsors, flower mound, the colony, denton, etc. It'll be a while before they move up because your average ungifted kid isn't gonna have a place in Argyle. Call me wrong if you please, just like last year when I said the SC runs are over. Their still good but not Ralston and Sadler good but in time the money will be spent to make it happen again. It was a reality check when Celina beat tha brakes of of them, and they'll have plenty more, just like we are having right now in Graham. Difference is we will build it not buy it and show class in all games we play. Oh and Argyle folks, you hung your banner here in OUR house that said home of Argyle Eagle Football....well I never said anything but we aren't for sale...that sign won't be hung here again I'll promise ya. As far as the 7v7...get a grip or get glasses! You know Graham was in the right and you could breathe better in the tourney with them out!!

Berra-isms (colloquial expressions that lack logic) are now countless, and many of them are just attributed to Berra, even if he never actually said them. As he so perfectly put it: “I never said most of the things I said.” Here are 50 of our favorites.

1. When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

2. You can observe a lot by just watching.

3. It ain’t over till it’s over

4. It’s like déjà vu all over again.

5. No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded.

6. Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

7. A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.

8. Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours.

9. We made too many wrong mistakes.

10. Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.

11. You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.

12. You wouldn’t have won if we’d beaten you.

13. I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.

14. Never answer an anonymous letter.

15. Slump? I ain’t in no slump… I just ain’t hitting.

16. How can you think and hit at the same time?

17. The future ain’t what it used to be.

18. I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta win, somebody’s gotta lose. Just don’t fight about it. Just try to get better.

19. It gets late early out here.

20. If the people don’t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody’s going to stop them.

21. We have deep depth.

22. Pair up in threes.

23. Why buy good luggage, you only use it when you travel.

24. You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.

25. All pitchers are liars or crybabies.

26. Even Napoleon had his Watergate.

27. Bill Dickey is learning me his experience.

28. He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious.

29. It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.

30. I can see how he (Sandy Koufax) won twenty-five games. What I don’t understand is how he lost five.

31. I don’t know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags over their heads.

32. I’m a lucky guy and I’m happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary.

33. I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.

34. In baseball, you don’t know nothing.

35. I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?

36. I never said most of the things I said.

37. It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.

38. If you ask me anything I don’t know, I’m not going to answer.

39. I wish everybody had the drive he (Joe DiMaggio) had. He never did anything wrong on the field. I’d never seen him dive for a ball, everything was a chest-high catch, and he never walked off the field.

40. So I’m ugly. I never saw anyone hit with his face.

41. Take it with a grin of salt.

42. (On the 1973 Mets) We were overwhelming underdogs.

43. The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.

44. Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.

45. Mickey Mantle was a very good golfer, but we weren’t allowed to play golf during the season; only at spring training.

46. You don’t have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it’ll go.

47. I’m lucky. Usually you’re dead to get your own museum, but I’m still alive to see mine.

48. If I didn’t make it in baseball, I won’t have made it workin’. I didn’t like to work.

49. If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be.

50. A lot of guys go, ‘Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.’ I tell ’em, ‘I don’t know any.’ They want me to make one up. I don’t make ’em up. I don’t even know when I say it. They’re the truth. And it is the truth. I don’t know.

Gods gotta great one... we will miss him..

Lady Blues edge Vernon for sixth straight win

Izzy Maberry launches a serve. (Antonio Morales)

The Lady Blues (21-9) overcame a noticeable height disadvantage and pulled out a gritty road victory over the squad that eliminated them from the 2014 playoffs on Tuesday. Graham’s varsity volleyball squad relied on their tenacious defense to hold off Vernon (25-22, 17-25, 25-21, 26-24), sending them into Friday’s district opener with a six-game win streak intact.
“Our attitudes had a big role in how we played,” sophomore setter Jasmine Sims said. “We stayed positive and lifted each other up throughout the game.”
Although Vernon sported three players who were at least 6-feet, the Lady Blues kept their potent offense off balance with a resilient effort and effective game plan.
“I was very proud of our net play,” Lady Blues head coach Marci Faulk said. “They had some of the better hitters we’ve seen in awhile. At the beginning of the game, we weren’t picking up many blocks, but then we got their timing down.”
The Lady Blues tallied 19 blocks throughout the four-set game, as Sims, Veronica Breitkreutz and Izzy Maberry led the way with 16 combined rejections
“That’s a big number with our height,” Faulk said. “That was huge for us. When you’re blocking their good hitters it gets to them mentally and frustrates them.”
Sims credits the daily practice sessions and the team’s will to win for their success up front.
“Although we’re not big in height, we are big in heart,” Sims said. “Preparation during practice and working hard to overcome our weaknesses pulled us through to the fourth set and led us to the win.”
Sims and her teammates never shied away from the spotlight in a contest that featured several pressure moments.
“Our kids were there wanting the ball when we needed a big play,” Faulk said. “We never took ourselves out of a situation to win. We lost that second set, but the girls never panicked. Whether they were behind or ahead on the board, they didn’t get rattled. They kept their composure and played the game like it should be played.”
Sims also paced Graham’s offense with 13 kills, and Lexie Allen added 10. Sims and Marleigh Sanders manufactured 18 assists apiece, while Nicole King hustled out 11 digs.
The back-and-forth battle against the Lady Lions provided yet another confidence booster for the Lady Blues heading into Friday’s district opener against Stephenville.
“Winning a tight game like that is really beneficial,” Faulk said. “There were times we were down late in sets and we would come back and win. That’s good because our girls will know that even if Wylie or Stephenville get us down, we still have the ability to come back and win because we’ve done it before against a good team. We can take that momentum into the next phase of our season.”

Big Spring had a total of 254 yards last night... They had the ball twice as much as Graham... A very good defensive performance by Graham.. Big Spring has a beast of a running back #4.. He is a hard hitter and a bruiser with the ball....but he does not care about the play if he's not touching the ball.. His blocking is very bad and half hearted..
A lot has been said about the officiating of this game.. Well they were equally bad for both teams... Both teams had long touchdowns called back for suspect reasons. Big Springs running back #4 was in the open field running for a td and started to high step like he was Deon.. Boom flag.. the refs also threw a flag earlier on that same play that also was unnecessary.. On Grahams long Td #2 was gone.. A flag came out for block in the back.. after watching the play it was clear that the B.S. player fell on his own.. The Graham player was near him but didn't touch him. The "penalty" was 15 yards from the play. Twice B.S. was given 5 and 6 downs.. Not sure why but Okay what ever.. They scored on one of those drives.. Both of these teams are trying to play a game.. the refs were a huge distraction and a detriment to this game.. I really feel that most of the time the refs are trying to call it right, but this was a very bad game for this particular crew..

Steers resume season with district clash against Gainesville Friday

After spending their open week nursing injuries and sharpening up their fundamentals, the Graham Steers (2-3) are set to officially embark on their hunt for the 4-4A Division I district crown. The Steers kick off their district title defense with a home matchup against the Gainesville Leopards (0-5) on Friday, Oct. 9.
“The kids are going to be ready and excited to start their new season,” Steers head coach Kenny Davidson said. “Our goal is to go undefeated in district, and you can't go undefeated unless you win the first one. We're focused on our new season and opening district play with a win at home.”
Although Graham lost three of their five non-district contests, having faced larger-enrollment schools with established programs benefits the Steers more than if they were sporting a winning record over weaker opponents. The Steers entered the season relying on the emergence of several inexperienced players, and Davidson says those younger players gained a lot from squaring off against teams like Brownwood, Abilene Wylie and Argyle.
“They're not rookies anymore,” he said. “They've had that game experience against really good opponents, and we just have to build on that. They're not young kids anymore; they're experienced players.”
The Gainesville Leopards also survived through a grueling pre-district schedule, but failed to manufacture a win.
“You have to be careful when you look at their record because those teams they've played are really good,” Davidson said. “They have a good tradition of winning, and they always have talent.”
Gainesville's five non-district foes (Kaufman, Kennedale, Alvarado, Ardmore and Princeton) have a combined 22-3 record heading into this weekend's action.
“They're looking to start a new season, just like we are,” Davidson said. “They usually have really good athletes.”
Gainesville's most notable playmaker is senior running back Zukari Long. The highly-touted power back has been dealing with an injured arm, but Davidson expects him to be ready to lead the Leopard's Wing-T offense on Friday.
“He's a big running back,” Davidson said. “We're focused on trying not to give up the big play and making them earn it down the field.”


Read entire preview in Wednesday's Graham Leader.

The Steers and Leopards are scheduled to open district play at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Newton Field.

I am almost finished with an exhausting portion of my book. When I started this.. I told myself that it would be as factual as possible for the in game parts of this venture.. Man I almost bit off more than I can chew.. I have poured over hours and hours of video, numbers, stats, and accounts of each game.. This is only a part of the story.. of coarse....but it is crucial.. It is funny how different people can interpret the same event a dozen different ways.. That's why I love the fact that the games have been documented with photographs, film, and print so well.. thank god for this.. My story is still months away from anything close to an end, but I am nearing the finish of a pivotal portion... To celebrate this I am going to show yall a small part of the preamble.. I cannot show any of the actual product "not allowed by the powers that be" but I can this.. Remember it is rough and has not been proof-read by any stretch of the imagination.. Also I don't need any English professors out here to let me know what I did wrong.. I got folks that will take care of that for me.. Having said that.. I hope you like it...

Remember when you were a teenager? Remember being excited? That feeling of adrenaline pumping through you. The butterflies in your belly. Your heart racing. Feeling happy but a little sick. A smile across your face from ear to ear but nervous as hell. Knowing that tonight you have a chance to shine. They say that youth is wasted on the young. When you're young you think you know it all. Life has not beaten you down. Life has not taught you lessons. Because of that, you go headstrong into the excitement. You take it on 100%. No worries, no indiscretions, and certainly no fear for whatever happens. Even though you have no idea that the actions taken tonight will shape you, and define you for the rest of your life.

The Lady Blues celebrate a point during the third set of Tuesday's victory over Mineral Wells. (Antonio Morales)
Having already achieved most of their goals that they set in the preseason, the Lady Blues (26-12) checked off another one when they thumped Mineral Wells (25-16, 25-16, 25-10) Tuesday at the Graham High School Gymnasium. The three-set victory evened the Lady Blues' district record at 3-3, but most importantly secured their place in the 4A state playoffs.
“We had really strong moments,” Lady Blues head coach Marci Faulk said about the playoff-clinching win, “but sometimes you could see when our intensity and focus dropped a little. You get comfortable with that lead and get laxed.”
Although the Lady Blues let the last-placed Lady Rams hang around for parts of the first two sets, they kicked into high gear for the final set and dominated it from start to finish.
“You could see how confident they were in each other and their abilities,” Faulk said. “Their facial expressions never looked distraught or worried. I like that they're confident enough to give up a few points here and there and still keep their composure."
Savanna Wilson led the way for the Lady Blues with nine kills, eight aces, six digs and one block. Jasmine Sims also fueled the Graham attack with five kills, 15 assists and two blocks.
The trio of Lexie Allen, Veronica Breitkreutz and Izzy Maberry powered out a combined 13 kills, four blocks and two aces. Marleigh Sanders netted 14 assists, six digs and two aces, while Nicole King pitched in with six digs.
The contributions from the entire roster are part of the reason why the Lady Blues entered Friday's contest against Brownwood having already surpassed their 2014 win-total by 15 games.
“I showed them last year's stat sheets and this year's district stat sheets,” Faulk said. “It's unbelievable. There's not an area on a single girl's stat sheet that's not already better.”
One of the examples Faulk gave was the spike in production from Sims. The sophomore setter finished last year's district season with nine total kills. In comparison, she struck down 10 kills in her first district match this season.
“I gave them that stat sheet and we talked about it for two purposes,” Faulk said. “I want them to see that their hard work is paying off. It's black and white. Those stats don't lie, so they know their hard work is serving a purpose. We also talked about using it as a motivator. Let's look and try to do better than the first time we played against Brownwood or Wylie.”
Read entire story which features playoff opponent possibilities in this weekend's Graham Leader.
The JV Lady Blues outmatched Mineral Wells (25-19, 25-19), while the ninth-grade Blues also won on Tuesday (26-6, 20-25, 25-16).
Emma Ranger led the JV offense with eight kills, seven assists, two aces and two blocks. Elizabeth Routon produced seven assists, four aces and four digs. Audrey Tyson amassed three kills, two aces and two blocks. Jessica Cortez added four digs.
Thanks Graham Leader!

We now have three very good teams in our District... That only helps our cause.. Mineral Wells came back from 17 down at the half then 3 down with less than a minute left. They fought for that win and got it. No excuses for Graham will be excepted when a team make a great come back like that.. Congrats Rams you earned this one.. Good news is Graham still has a chance at the District Crown if we win in Decatur. It would be a three way crown with Mineral Wells & Decatur... but a crown nonetheless.. If folks can remember the last time that happened was 09. That year we shared a three way district crown with Wylie & Brownwood... BTW both Graham and Wylie went to the S.C. game that year.. I do not think that kind of success will happen out of out district this year but who knows. We should have easy final home game (Sr. Night) this week as W.F.H. comes to town.. They are one of the worst teams in the state... so hopefully we can get a big lead and rest everyone.. The game goes on. RUB SOME DIRT IN IT! or I guess that would be tire crumbs...lol

Graham boys look good in their suits! Hard to believe they've had 4 losses this year.

Yes sometimes when top reams play top teams they lose a few... but if we had an easy schedule then it would be different.. Guess we will find out tonight.. and by the way..that picture was posted by our QB.. he is ready

Well one of those losses was against Mineral Wells...I would not call them a top team.

Of coarse a game can get away from you from time to time we were up by 17 at the half ... but might I add yall did not have a decisive statement win against Mineral Wells in your own house.. but a win is a win..so if they are not a top team.. they were does that put big D?

I must say yall have had a fairly easy schedule this year playing imo only one great team Alvarado.. and yall lost by quite a bit I think.. BUT if yall beat us tonight then you will have gotten that win against a top team... good luck..

There is always two ways to look at it> If Decatur wins tonight they will have beaten a 5-5 team!

That is a fact.. And if we win tonight then it is also a fact that Decatur lost to Graham.....again...

Graham was a top team last year, not this year. We should have beaten a top team last year but didn't. Last years win would have meant soooo much more than winning this year. If we win, people say you should have. If we loose people will say, "see, Decatur is not as good as we thought they were".

Playoffs determine top teams.. Goodluck with yall runs.. Graham is a top team because we are 3 time defending region 1 champs and will have that crown until someone else removes it..

Again, not taking any credit away from Graham but that is all last years credit! That's like saying the Dallas Cowboys are the top team this year because they were NFC east champs last year. This years Graham team is not as good as last years. I have not said once that Decatur beats Graham tonight, because I know the Graham boys will bring it. But no where the team they were last year. I think their record proves that.

You are a champ until you are not. Graham has doubters every season.. That's nothing new. I understand the record looks bad but maybe we will see the top team that I speak of tonight? Maybe not? ......I will say Graham beats Decatur tonight.. If I am wrong then so be it..wouldn't be the first time.. I am right much more than I am wrong however..

Your last sentence is a great illustration of your arrogance!
