...Dave Campbells 2013 Texas Football Magazine...

was at our local Walmart today!

$10.95 this year

I read through our section in the checkout line. Fairly spot-on in my book, but there's at least two games I think will go the other way: Bal State and MUTS.

unt_rocket09, what large Texas city is Honey Grove located nearest?

I put my HS's location near Houston because few would know where the heck Danbury, Texas, is located (or would care for that matter).

In fact, some in Houston don't know where Danbury is located; that is,

unless they wanted to eat some fresh caught out of the Gulf of Mexico jumbo fried shrimp with the best tasting batter on that shrimp you'll ever taste and that at Danbury's EJ's Cafe. Many from Houston have made the trip to Danbury for that.

And thanks for posting since I have no idea where most of our GMG.com posters went to high school.

And drex, can you "show me" on a map sometimes where your HS is located, right? :)

Sedalia is 80 miles due east of Kansas City and is the home of the famous Missouri State Fair. It was where the Rawhide bunch was supposedly driving their cattle. However, I never saw one cow come into town the entire time I was there.

Honey Grove is about 20 miles west of Paris TX ad 40 miles East of Sherman. Little River-Academt, where I grew up, is 5 miles east of Temple Tx. Love my small towns! Danbury beat us out of the area round of the playoffs in bball in 2001. We followed it up with a title in 2002.

Ahhh! "THAT" Honey Grove! Thanks for that info, unt_rocket09.

I went from 1'st grade to 12'th grade in the Danbury ISD with pretty well the same classmates in each grade.

Can any of you find anyone under age 45 years old today that has done that? It's another part of Americana that is also disappearing.

The old home town had approx. 1,000 population but when they turned on our Friday Night Lights

at the HS football stadium it sometimes grew to about 2,500 to 3,000!

Our Danbury ISD high school stadium is named in honor of Coach Harold Humber, our head football coach of about 8 years, but during my senior year, Coach, his wife June, and their daughter Gaye were all 3 killed in a head on car wreck as they were en route back to Danbury with this tragedy happening near Missouri City and Stafford, Texas. Coach and his family had been visiting with the Houston Alief high school football coach as well as his family on a Sunday afternoon. That tragedy happened on March 9, 1969 and my senior class graduated 2 months later. It was a sad time for a small Texas community and to this day I often think of my football coach/friend, June and Gaye.

Touching story and a sad story. Yes I'm 28 and went k-12 at Academy with most of the same people. It is def not the norm now, but there is something special about these small towns. I love 1a and 2a football. Sports and schools mean so much to the community.

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.
