Closer to starting the season
By
August 26, 2007
Are we there yet? No, but we are close enough I can smell the hamburgers cooking at Six-Man fields across the state. I found new excitement with the Abilene Reporter News' Kickoff 2007.
I have posted a few more pictures of Trent's new stadium @ http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/sixmancentral/
Just click on the word photo on the left hand side of the page.
Week Zero promises some good games. You will not be able to see them all but you need to go somewhere. If you have a favorite team, by all means, go and support them. I realize not everyone will drive a long distance to see a game so depending on where you live, here are some good games to consider.
History will be made when Trent plays their first game in the new stadium on the new turf that I have made such a fuss over. They play Westbrook on Friday August 31st at 7:30 PM.
Robert Lee will host Rankin. More than likely, this will be a preview of a playoff game later in the season between two very good Division 1 teams.
Up Jayton way you might want to catch the Highland and Newcastle game. Those are most likely two playoff bound teams as well.
Another interesting game should be May hosting Woodson. Again, this looks like two playoff teams hooking up the first rattle out of the box.
On paper, the Rule and Idalia, CO. game looks like a good match up. They play on Saturday September 1st at 6:00 PM on the campus of McMurry University in Abilene. Should be a short game.
There are five games on Saturday in Hico starting at 11:00 AM. Take your pick. The 8:00 PM game will be the less competitive of the day but what the heck if you are already there.
Saturday night in Richland Springs, watch the Number One team in the state hosting a good team from Happy. If you never have see Tyler Ethridge in action, you owe it to yourself to make the trip there. He is one amazing young man. The Six-Man world knows him as TE. Try it. Ask someone that watches Six-Man ball year in year out. Believe me, they will know who TE is.
Is it just me or is there some huge games in Week Zero?
How about Santa Anna hosting Coolidge?
A little love goes out to Abilene Christian High School as they take on Dell City in Richland Springs on Saturday. ACHS is a Private that plays in TAPPS. They played the toughest non-district schedule in the state last season. This year is a bit easier but not much.
Well, you can't make 'em all. Do what you can.
GOOD FOOTBALL TO YOU
