Speaking of games, the defending six man champs will meet at Abilene's Shotwell Stadium as the 2006 Six Man Division I State Champion Richland Springs Coyotes will take on the 2006 Division II State Champion Vernon Northside Indians Saturday night at 6:00PM. The Coyotes are picked to win by 39 as their All-State and MVP quarterback, Tyler Etheridge with 184 career high school touchdown passes is set to break the all division record. He set the new all time six man touchdown pass record last year and breaks it every time he throws another. If you've ever seen Tyler play you now that he is an amazing athlete and if you've never seen him play it is amazing to watch him.
Rain
Tex Wright reports, "And the Lord opened up the clouds and let it rain. Here at the foot of the beautiful Santa Anna Mountains, we had 1.80 in the rainguage."
I poured over two inches out of my gauges... I guess water runs down hill!

Mountaineer Football | |
The Santa Anna Mountaineers took on the Robert Lee Steers in Robert Lee Friday night.
I didn't get a chance to go to the game since I had to work late and Cindy and I were also going to Hord's Creek Lake to spend the weekend camping with some of Cindy's Loadcraft family.
According to reports I got, the Mountaineers were behind 22-0 at the half and came back to tie it up 30-30 as time expired after four quarters.
The Steers had the ball first and scored a touchdown but missed the extra pointto make it 36-30. The Mountaineers took their shot and scored six to tie it up 36-36, but missed their extra point also to send the game into double overtime.
The second overtime gave the Mountaineers first shot at scoring but the Steers intercepted a Mountaineer pass that led to the Steers' touchdown and gave them the game 43-36.
