Meanwhile.......I'm back in Argyle

[regaleagle]

Well......I'm not really back living IN Argyle, but very closeby. I moved back to the area last month.....I'm living in Corinth.....just south of Denton. It's the home of the Ryan Raiders......so look out folks. Seems like everywhere I live the local team wins. I totally expect both Ryan and Argyle to win anyway.......but maybe they'll both win their way to back to Jerryworld this year. Denton Guyer is also next door on the other side of 35, and they are in 6A. So it looks like we have 4A, 5A, and 6A possibilities this year......but not so much for Guyer this season, I think. I guess Ponder would be the closest 3A to me, Huh? I think they have a football team now......maybe their 2nd or 3rd year??? I'll have to look them up in FNF. I hear Gunter may be a force this season too. Anyhoo......I sure am glad to be back home......it feels good. Denton County has been my home for 20 yrs of my adult life......just to let everybody know. GO EAGLES!!! GET "EM RAIDERS!!! There's a definite smell in the air.....Texas High School Football is here!!!

Welcome home

Good to see you back

You need a TAPPS...we have Liberty Christian Week 3 in Gilmer...you need a road trip

Are you going to the Tom Landry Classic on Sept 2nd?

I haven't been to the new stadium in Allen yet.......I'll have to put that on the schedule. I don't guess I'll need some advance tickets, huh?

Safe to say that Allen has enough seats to squeeze Lovejoy and Argyle in... Last year they didn't open the upper deck on the home side, and they haven't opened it for any 5A or below home games. A few years ago I watched Lake Dallas play Lone Star and it was packed (standing room only), but the upper deck was closed. Also be prepared to pay for parking. Allen hosts games for other schools, but their boosters are there collecting parking fees. If I recall it's $5 cash, but knowing Allen it could be $10. I'd rather play a home / away than play at Allen Eagle Stadium because I'd rather our programs get the money.

Does this also mean taps with a bugle for Liberty Christian in this game, Lol???

We had guys all over this 1/2 of Texas trying to fill our dance card...we had to make the trip last year & we will show them a good time here. God excuse for a road trip.

Like Prestonwood, they won't be renewing the contract...the Metroplex is about the only fertile ground for pre-season...Kilgore & Henderson will scrimmage us...our preseason is Liberty Eylau, Center, Carthage, L.C., & Nacogdoches

We miss Argyle...win or loose...always a good game.

[regaleagle]

Yep......every single game with you Gilmerites was a good-un, for sure. I think the atmosphere really ratcheted up when it was an Argyle/Gilmer battle on the gridiron of glory. Every player played every down for the glory of the game......no question about it. Argyle may move back down to DII this next go-round......they were on the cusp by just a few players last time. If they raise the numbers......we may end up at the top of DII enrollment numbers. Then it will be like old times again, Huh?

Definitely gonna make that scrimmage. I thought Argyle looked really good against Denton. You very well could see 2 1000 yard rushers in the Argyle backfield. I'm excited for this team.

And with good reason. With Copeland under center, and with the move-in in the backfield to complement an already talented back, all of a sudden, Argyle has the kind of squad that could challenge Carthage. In fact, if you made me pick today, I'd say it'll be Argyle vs Carthage for all the marbles in Div. I come December.

Argyle's record last 5 seasons is (68-6). That's 74 games in 5 yrs......and last year Argyle went 11-1. We had a cancelled game due to lightning against Wylie in the fourth game of the season. Argyle lost to Wylie last year in the 3rd round of the playoffs.

OOPS!!! Just checking back.....looks like the record is (67-6) in that time period. This will be Argyle's 16th season playing football, the 15th under Coach Rodgers. Argyle has never had a losing season under Coach Rodgers(156-34). That first year.....Argyle's 2nd season and first with a senior class......the Eagles went(5-5). My son was a freshman that year. Argyle went to State in 2A-DI in Coach Rodgers 3rd year at Argyle. Under Coach Rodgers, Argyle has made it to the State Championship game 5 times in 14 yrs.....winning one, but losing in very close games every other time.....very exciting games that went down to the last minute.....one in double overtime. It's been a great run and very exciting for Argyle faithful. Hopefully, the run will continue this season as well.

That's an amazing run. Coach Rodgers has to be one of the top high school coaches in Texas with that record. I bet he is constantly getting 5A and 6A coaching offers.

But for a blown call late two years ago, Argyle would've beaten Navasota and have two state titles. But, that's neither here nor there.


I think they make their sixth title game appearance this season, especially if they can find a couple kids to fill some big holes in the secondary. The offense is going to be very, very good.
