I AM BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Just in time for Friday the 13th. I have been to the bowels of the earth and back trying to get my computer going again and finally I have returned to some type of normal stability in my computing world.

I will make my way to the home of last year's State Champion on Friday night. Purple Pride!! Yes, the Throckmorton Greyhounds. They have tasted defeat this year way back in Week Zero when they fell to Garden City in Hico in OT. Their opponent for this week's game will be the Rule Bobcats and they are undefeated and on the prowl.

It is show down time in Throckmorton. A loss by either team will not mean the end of the world but it may well mean the loss of the District 7 Championship. It is a huge district game. Sure, Knox City and Spur and Aspermont will all have the opportunity to say who is Champion and who is runner up in this tough district but Throckmorton and Rule will have the most say.

It is Throckmorton that has carried the "burden" of being last year's Champion through the wars of this season and they intend to continue to be Champions as the season plays out. Even if they lose to Rule, they will be defending Champions until they can no longer defend.

Rule on the other hand is the challenger. They have to come into Throckmorton and beat the Greyhounds at their home and that hasn't happen in awhile. Rule will come to play and should they win they will position themselves as the team to beat the rest of the way. All of the state will be waiting to hear the outcome of this game which truly is "the game of the week".

I predict the Bobcats win. I predict that they will be district champions although this is only the first district game. I predict that Throckmorton will finish 2nd and these two teams will have the opportunity to settle the score once again in the playoffs.

If you only plan to see one game this season, see this one. However it turns out, you will want to see the rematch later.
