Any talk of moving the Game up to Thursday night? Saw where Cameron - Manor moved to Thursday. Probably a good idea but my 8th grade son will be ticked if they get their game cancelled like the Jr High kids in Cameron - Manor did.


The Streak Continues......................
BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END

All Junior Varsity and Junior High games are cancelled. The Varsity game has been moved forward to tomorrow night in Hutto at 7:30.

Probably for the best, but those Jr High kids will not think so........

No need for anyone to be traveling on the roads with a storm this size roaming through. Football, especially JUNIOR high football, can wait!!!

The JR High game is on Thursday. It could have been played with no problems on Thursday night. The games on Friday are the ones that can't be played. If you look at it from their point of view, they practice just as hard as the other teams and they are the ones that got pushed aside.

I didn't say I disagreed with the decision, but I do understand their side as well............

Lets say the storm came in early!!! People traveling to evacuate all over the place, and a junior high football game is going on??? Come on man!!!! I have kids, surely you jest!!! By the way, it is a Category 5!!! Could be the worst ever to hit the state!!! Your son will be safe at home, that is a awesome thing!!!

Jr High football pays no bills and no one goes to them except the parents and grandparents.

Several towns have the idea that JV, Freshman, and Jr high sports don't matter, don't bring in the money, and no one goes to them except the parents and grandparents. Most of those towns start basketball about week 11 on a routine basis............

I beg to differ friend. I lived in Rockdale, it is a great sports town, and they love all levels of sport. But, that being said, the only one that matters is Varsity. Let me ask you a question. Let's say it is icey one basketball game night. Would you want your son's team traveling to play??? I think not!!! One year I can remember it rained cats and dogs, flooding everywhere, no sub varsity games, no one was hurt or injured in an accident, very wise choice!!!

Well, I am sure everyone has the best interest of the young ones in mind!!! I have never been to a place that takes any sub varsity teams for granted. I am sure that when your son is on Varsity one of these days you will see what I mean. Being on Varsity is special and should be treated differently than any other. Just an opinion!!!
