Bracket for Fall Play Sunday, August 16, 2009

I went to the scheduling meeting today. I'll put a tentative schedule in the next post. Some of you might be interested in how the division has changed. We are in a U14 division. All of the 96s and the two Amarillo 97s will compete as an A bracket. Our bracket consists of all 97s. One from Midland, one from Sana Angelo, and then Arsenal, Nova and us. The two SA teams from last year consolidated, one top quality Midland team is playing in Dallas (I think that's right, but am not sure), so the team in WTPL is more developmental. Also, an Amarillo team is playing in Dallas, so the two 97s still there were considerably weakened in terms of numbers.

Our schedule is kind of odd because the Lubbock teams wanted to avoid Tuesday and Thursday games because Frenship does not have one set night for 7th grade football (unlike LISD, which plays 7th grade only on Monday nights, and only 8th grade on Tesdays). We also picked up three friendlies - all in Lubbock against 96 San Angelo teams. We'll have two road trips - to San Angelo and to Midland. In the spring we'll try to have NO road trips.

Coach Don mentioned a tournament in November - more on that later.
