I can't understand how they left Brian Waters off the All Texan NFL team though.

Then it's a missprint because TCC doesn't have athletics. TCC Homepage
Could be that the Oil Bowl will be his final football game and he's going to TCC as a regular student.

My guess is that it's a typo and he's going to Tyler Junior College (which BTW is in Smith County). The other possibility is Trinity Valley Community College (TVCC) in Athens.
Most of these schools are getting away from the word "Junior" in their names.
It specifically says Tarrant County JC, the kid seems awful small (5'8", 225 lbs) to be playing college ball.

One of the Von Erichs of wresteling fame played football and basketball.
I think you're right about that. I saw a Von Erich at the Letterman's tent (Coor's Light) two years ago before a game.
I heard he is interested in making a large donation to the football program but only because Steve Austin has made a sizeable donation to the mens/womens basketball program. So large in fact that they are changing the name of the colliseum from "The Super Pit" to "The Stone Cold Colliseum"
Apparently the Von Erichs want to keep up with the "Jones".

UIL Track and Field Preview
Hodge is leaving his marks
By Jason Della Rosa
Herald Democrat
TOM BEAN — There are 16 records on the sign that displays the Tom Bean school track records.
There is not one mention of Jerrod Hodge. Yet.
The listings on the boys ledger have not been updated in almost six years but the senior has re-written the Tomcat record book with a career that will end at the University Interscholastic League state track meet this weekend in Austin.
Hodge, who now holds seven school marks, will compete in three individual events — the 100, 200 and 400 meter dashes — a combination not seen very often.
“It’s very rare,” Tom Bean coach Brad Scribner said. “It takes a special kid to do it because the events are so close together.”
Hodge’s schedule Friday night isn’t an easy one. He will run the 100 first and get a break thanks to the 800 relay before competing in the 400.
After the 300 hurdles are run, Hodge returns to the track for the 200. Each break will probably be 15 minutes at the longest.
“I just warm-up for the 100 and keep going,” Hodge said. “Catch my breath between each one.”
The speedster competed at the state meet last year in just the 200, finishing fourth. But this time Hodge could be headed home with some hardware.
Based on the regional times, Hodge is the favorite in the 400 and is a serious threat to win the 100 as well.
“If I don’t win the 400 it’d be disappointing,” he said. “I know I can get first in the 100 if I get out of the blocks fast enough.”
His personal-best 400 time of 48.5 in the regional preliminaries was a full second faster than anyone he will face at state and was better than every runner in Class 4A or below at the regional meets, according to results at texastrack.com.
“I know my race and how to run it,” Hodge said. “I can’t worry about other people around me.”
In the other two races, the only other runner who has better times is Aubrey’s Colt Davis, who beat Hodge at the 2A Region II meet in Stephenville.
“He knows I’m going to try to beat him and I know he’s the guy I’ve got to beat,” Hodge said.
Hodge was just a tenth of a second behind Davis (21.50 to 21.60), who also went to state last year in the same event, in the 200 but has a wider gap to make up on him in the 100 (10.19 to 10.43) if a sweep is even possible.
But such a lofty goal is not the focus for Hodge.
This is a runner whose best event, the 400, wasn’t even on his radar screen as a junior.
“The coaches wanted me to do the mile relay and I did what they wanted,” Hodge said. “This year they said they’d let me run my single events.”
The result could end with a state title. Hodge, who started running track in seventh grade, has yet to be beaten in that particular race.
“Ever since I was young I wanted to run track and be in the Olympics,” he said.
Hodge, who also played football and baseball for Tom Bean, will continue to run in college, having narrowed his choices to Tarleton State and the University of North Texas.

Where are these guys going?
Stoffels signed with Southeastern Oklahoma. Celina QB Nathan Tune said in an article in the Sherman Herald Democrat that he will walk on at UNT.
-
Yeah, just saw that. Dominating night for big Evan!

Ramone Archie?
-
Awesome! I was hoping it was him. Congrats Jason.

read in paper where AFL Nashville Kats signed kicker Jason Ball. Is this the former NT kicker?

What was the final score?
Ponder won 61-41.

Mean Green honor CHS’ Franklin
By Adam Boedeker
Herald Democrat
DENTON — After finishing his first round of chemotherapy Thursday, Tyler Franklin got a pleasant surprise Monday night at the Super Pit.
Franklin attended the Celina-Ponder playoff game, sitting on the front row with his friends dressed in assorted Celina garb, but Franklin trumped them all.
At halftime of the game, North Texas football coach Darrell Dickey presented Franklin with an official Mean Green jersey, his No. 50 and all. The back of the jersey sports his nickname, “T-Frank.”
Franklin, a senior and a member of the Bobcats’ state champion football team, is suffering from osteosarcoma in his femur.
Franklin wasn’t the only person in the arena wearing the No. 50. The Celina coaches, cheerleaders and even the players sported shirts dedicated to Franklin as their warmup tops.
Dickey gave a speech before presenting the jersey, bringing the Celina and Ponder fans to their feet.
“I just want everyone to know that everyone at North Texas is keeping Tyler Franklin in our prayers during this bout,” Dickey said.
Then as a testament to Franklin’s toughness, Dickey offered his prognosis.
“With a guy like Tyler, you might as well just consider it done,” he said.
Franklin said he feels good after his chemo and said he “didn’t even throw up, which was a plus.” He appreciated the jersey, even though he had a bigger task at hand.
“It feels amazing to get that,” he said. “That’s not why I came here, though. I came to support my boys and help them progress through the playoffs.”
Celina basketball coach Troy Davis, who coaches Franklin’s little brother, Troy, knew about Dickey’s presentation, but wasn’t able to see it.
“I know that means a lot to Tyler,” Davis said. “He needs all the encouragement he can get. It also means a lot to our close-knit community to know someone outside of Collin County is thinking about him.”

Not much....pretty good player at Sherman, may have made one of the all-state teams.

DeAnthony Chamberlain, DT (6'2", 270 lbs) of Sherman signed with Tyler Junior College. In an article in the Sherman Herald Democrat a couple of weeks ago stated that he would eventually end up at UNT.
Maybe a case of "stashing"!

Howe’s Mangrum will miss playoffs
Knee injury leaves Bulldogs short vs. surging Bobcats
By Bill Spinks
Herald Democrat
The question being asked in both Howe and Celina is: Will Collin Mangrum play tonight, or won’t he?
According to Howe head coach Tim Rose, the Bulldogs’ standout senior guard will miss tonight’s game at McKinney High School as he continues to recover from a knee injury and is likely out for the rest of the playoffs.
But Celina head coach Troy Davis is preparing his team as if it’ll face the North Texas early signee and McDonald’s All-American nominee in the area round of the Class 2A Region II playoffs.
“We’re planning for him,” Davis said Thursday. “That kind of kid, if there’s any way possible, I know he’ll be out there.”
Mangrum, who missed several games in midseason with an ankle sprain, suffered a knee injury two weeks ago in practice and hasn’t played since.
He is averaging 28.9 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 3.4 steals for the Bulldogs, who reached the Class 2A state tournament a year ago.
“It’s an injury that requires 2-to-4 weeks,” Rose said. “This is the second week, and he’s got two more weeks to rehab it. With him, we’ve got a good chance, but without him, we lose 30 points a game, and that’s tough to make up.
“But our kids play hard, and if the other team has an off night, anything can happen,” Rose added. “It’s a tribute to the kids to get to where they are now.”
Without Mangrum, the Bulldogs will have their hands full against a team making a rare push into the boys’ basketball area round after staying in football deep into December.
Celina has plenty of hoops talent, despite the dismissal of leading scorer Alan Jones from the team a month ago. Without Jones, the Bobcats have won eight of their last nine, and ran the table in the second half of a brutal District 13-2A slate to tie Krum for second place.
“All the kids here love Alan, everybody in school loves Alan, and no doubt we’d be a better team with him,” Davis said. “But we’ve also come together. Like Celina kids do all the time, they get a little adversity, and they work through it and they wind up better for it.”
In the past, Celina’s football success has been at the expense of basketball. The Bobcats’ hoops season didn’t start until Dec. 19, two days after their football team wrapped up its seventh state title with a 28-12 win over Omaha Paul Pewitt.
“Usually we get a late start in basketball, and we don’t have basketball players, we have football players playing basketball,” said senior Nathan Tune. “Celina’s never been past the second round, so if we can do that, that’ll be something new for the school.”
The Bobcats (14-6) rely heavily on the 6-foot-4 Tune, who averaged 17.1 points per game in the regular season. Tune hit for 25 points in Celina’s 79-48 bi-district rout of Italy.
“When Nathan’s on a roll, he’s hard to stop,” Davis said. “The other guys do a good job getting it to him. Our guys are good about finding the hot guy.”
Besides Tune, the Bobcats have other scoring options. Sophomore Seth Davis and juniors Jamie Blatnick and Dru Prosser — all of whom, like Tune, helped lead Celina to the state football championship — all reached double figures in the scoring column on Tuesday.

Mangrum nominated for McDonald’s team
By Herald Democrat
Howe senior guard Collin Mangrum was recently recognized among the finest basketball players in the country through his nomination to the 2006 McDonald’s All American High School Basketball Team.
As a nominee, Mangrum is among the top 1,500 prep basketball standouts in the nation nominated by the McDonald’s All American Basketball Team Selection Committee, a group of nationally prominent basketball experts.
Each player nominated will be considered for one of the 24 positions on the final 2006 McDonald’s All American High School Basketball Team that will compete in the 29th anniversary of the McDonald’s All American High School Game, to be played March 29 in San Diego. The final team members will be announced later this month.
In 16 games this season for the District 15-2A champions, North Texas-signee has averaged 28.9 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 3.4 steals.

Hibbett's is opening a store in Gainesville, hopefully they'll carry NT gear.
-
I am very, very happy. Aubrey(my school) lost the three heavy-weights, as well as Callisburg(couldve recked havoc on us this year[Coach's HS I Believe]) and S&S.
I have seen our FB schedule, and if things go the way they have, we will have a district championship here. I know most people are long gone from thier HS football days, but I have two more years, and they will be great.
Good luck to the Chaps! Anna and Farmersville should be the only competition in that district.

Leonard linebacker Kail Krider is headed to the University of North Texas after spending the second half of his senior season on the sideline with a broken leg.
He becomes the first Leonard football player and second athlete in school history to sign with a Division I program.
“It’s a pretty recent development,” Krider said. “I took an official visit this (past) weekend and they offered the scholarship.”
The interest from the Mean Green came after Krider sent in a video tape about a month ago and the coaching staff got in contact with him.
“We kept looking at him as a linebacker, and thinking he wasn’t fast enough, but all of a sudden it jumped on (defensive coordinator) Kenny Evans that if he gained a little more weight, he’d make a heck of a defensive end or defensive tackle,” said UNT head coach Darrell Dickey. “We like everything about him.”
Krider had 58 tackles, two sacks and an interception in his abbreviated season and had offers to play tight end at Southeastern Oklahoma State and Texas A&M-Commerce.
But the chance to play for the Division I program, which he will do as a defensive end, was too good to pass up.
“I wanted to play at the highest level,” Krider said. “They liked what I did playing at linebacker and said they could move me around.”

Kail Krider – DE – 6’3” – 245 lbs – Leonard High School
Was named to the All-District 15-2A team the last three years as a linebacker ... Also received all-district honors as a tight end the last two seasons ... Only played in five games as a senior before breaking his fibula ... Leonard was 4-1 with Krider in the lineup and finished the season 6-4 ... In the five games before the injuries he registered 58 tackles, two forced fumbles, one interception and two sacks ... Also had six catches 64 yards ... Led the team in tackles as a sophomore and junior ... Currently a starter on the Leonard varsity basketball team
Not a starter for Leonard's basketball team. Watched them play last night.
