1.) Did we win on Friday? Who did we play and what was the score?

2.) I heard the volleyball team made the playoffs. Who do they play in the first round, when, and where?

3.) Who does it look like we'll be playing in the first round for football?

Did Gainesville win a coin flip last year to play Graham at Denton or was it a mutual choice? If they won the coin flip then I believe Graham would get to pick this time and I doubt this game will be in Denton or Birdville...Wichita Falls maybe?

yeah it looks pretty nice and small enough that it would be close to capacity (if not over) for a Graham/Gainesville game. That being said, I could still see Graham going for Wichita Falls as the location because its about a 45 minute drive where as it would be close to 2 hours (around 100 miles I believe) for Gainesville to get there.

Yes, it is. Northwest's stadium looks a lot like Southlake's or the Denton stadium.

if graham thinks making Gainesville travel 100 miles for a game with help them, they are gonna be in for a longer night than they think.

Wichita Falls is nothing.

Gainesville fans are used to traveling to the odd ends of Texas to play. We play anyone, anywhere.

i think most of the playoff teams are good enough to not let the traveling affect them. that is unless a team has to travel more than 3 hours.

guys I realize that 100 miles is nothing. Just making idle chatter. Heck my senior year we went 180-200 miles 4 times to play at Birdville (3 games) and Clark Field (1 game) and it wasn't a big deal to anybody. San Angelo was a breather being the short trip on the schedule at about 80 miles. Sure wish we could have played Lamesa in the Mustang Bowl though...always a fun place to play! Then again I don't think they had their field turf in 2000 so it wouldn't have been so enjoyable...

i understand that it's just for chatter. i would love for Gainesville to get lucky and have all their games close, but i don't see that happening again.

Why isn't a new football stadium part of the bond election for the new high school?

in the last election they had a new football, baseball and softball as part of the new school. the old folks in Gainesville said they aren't paying for a sports complex. that is why it was defeated last time. it will be interesting if it passes this time. the amount of money is the same, the difference is no stadiums.

I hope Decatur meets up with Gainesville in round 2. and if so im sure it will be at either South Lake's Dragon Stadium or Birdville's Fine Arts complex.

hmm...so where is the additional money going to? Maybe that should just do what they did at Birdville and call it a "Fine Arts Complex!" :rolleyes:

Sometimes I wonder about my hometown. Our athletic facilities are the worst in the state--the WORST and it's embarassing.

Except for our baseball stadium, which might be the best 3a baseball stadium in the state

no, NCTC has thier own field.. In the 50's Gainesville had a minor league baseball team and the team left, but the field stayed.. The city owns it now and the high school rents it every year.. Its an antique and is very well kept..

It was a facetious response but I guess it didn't go over well.

Nevertheless, they still suck for putting us in Region I.

FYI, there are UIL rules about playoff game sites that come into play every now and then ... has to do with when the same teams play 2 yrs in a row or 2 of 3 years and one of them won a flip and got to play at home. I'll try to find the details ...

Oh I know ... but its an interesting rule - like to keep educated you know ...

By the way - I disagree .. the UIL does a tremendous job with the task they have to do.

The UIL rule is if 2 teams flip home and home....the next year if they play again they play at the other teams field...

an example in Class 4A..

last year Dallas Kimball and Ennis flipped home and home..Kimball won the flip and Ennis had to play em at Sprague Field....this year if they play again it'll be in Ennis....

To each his own.

I've deal with them in both athletics and academics. I stand by my statement and there are numerous other teachers and principals who agree. But I realize we all have our opinions and I definitely respect yours.

So are we underrated?

Cause we've been 7th in the state for about 4-5 weeks now. Yet everyone else has us rated higher.
