PALESTINE WHITEHOUSE
Rushing yds. 35-222 22- 27
Passing yds. 210 132 (86 on a TD pass play 4thqtr)
Total yds. 432 159


Palestine had way too much speed for Whitehouse to handle. And the defense is just as quick and talented as the offense. Without 90 yds. in penalties, two turnovers, two missed field goals and a missed extra point, the score would have been a lot worse.

It certainly doesn't look like Palestine's offense is sitting in Norman, Ok.?

Congratulations to Coach Tunstall for his first win as Palestine's head coach. And a great job by the entire coaching staff!

I'll take Carthage by 14 this week.

[texasjeremy]

Last week, I was thinking this would be a loss by Palestine, but after seeing Carthage lose to a mediocre Henderson team last Friday night, I can see why Palestine would be favored. Since, the game is in Palestine, in front of 7,000 people.

Heres the Texpreps.com rankings (you can tell its early in the season and these rankings don't get accurate till later, with them having Huntington ranked over Diboll, its most likely because Huntington won last week and Diboll hasn't played yet)

1. Palestine (15)

3. Huntington (87)
4. Diboll (103)

Holy cow! Palestine by 23? I highly doubt that. I would love it, but I doubt it.
