It's an honor to be a part of arguably the best and biggest high school football event ever put together in the country. Nine of the teams either won state championships or sectional titles last year. There are going to be some great teams there.
"Barry Norton" was an Argentine-born actor in American films. He appeared in over ninety films from 1925 until the time of his death. He is perhaps best known for his role as Juan Harker in the Spanish-language version of Dracula (Spanish-language version)/Dracula (1931), produced by Universal Pictures.
More Barry Norton on Wikipedia.We knew Jimmie had the ability and speed. What he needed was playing time, and the injury has forced him to play more. Now we feel like we have three starters (Strong, Meadows, Matlock) at cornerback. I don't think there is anything better than competition to make a team better.
It's just been a case of making some adjustments here and there and playing harder in the second half.
We've got four guys who have played a lot of snaps inside for us. We really feel good about our numbers up front. I think our coaching staff has done a good job of experimenting and moving people around to give us the best combination of players. Depth is really going to help us the rest of the season.
They had called across the state to different head football coaches, along with the media and college coaches to ask for recommendations for Texas High and to find out what our program would mean to this particular event. They said everything came back as a can't-miss proposition. They were told ours is a team they need to have. I'm really proud of that.
We'll probably go through 15 or 16 workouts, then see where we are. If we have to, we'll work on Fridays, but the plan is to leave them open.
And I think we're deserving of being there. I think our program is one of the top ones in Texas. When we got the invitation I called a staff meeting and asked our coaches why we shouldn't go to this event, and no one could come up with a reason why not. It's going to be an opportunity our kids may never have another chance to do.
We don't even like to say who the starters are at safety. We've played a lot of kids, and not just in mop-up situations. That's kept us fresh on defense.
I wouldn't mind watching a couple and flying out on Saturday evening. We just filled the last game on our schedule with Waxahachie on the week following the Ohio trip, and I'm kind of a stickler about working weekends to get ready for the next game.
