A Trojan Mines a Starting QB Position

Former Euless Trinity quarterback Trevor Vittatoe looks like the frontrunner for the QB position with the El Paso Miners. According to the El Paso Times he will at least split time as the starter. Not bad for a redshirt freshman.

"Haka" vs. "Mojo" Slated for TV

It's confirmed; the Euless Trinity Trojans will bring the "Haka" to "Mojo" land, also known as Odessa's Ratliff Stadium, on September 15th at 6:30 PM, and the game will be televised on Fox Sports Net.

The game will be shown opposite the Southlake Carroll vs. Miami Northwestern game on ESPNU which means a DVR that records one program while you watch another may rise to the top of back-to-school lists.

In addition to these two broadcasts, Cypress Fairbanks vs. Cypress Falls will be televised on ESPN2 on October 18th and a deal is close to being finalized to broadcast the Tatum vs. Gilmer matchup on September 6th on Fox Sports SW. In addition, although not yet official, the Longview vs. John Curtis (Louisiana) game on September 22nd looks like it will be televised on Fox Sports Net.

While on the subject of televised games, isn't it time that the UIL changes the ban on televising Friday night games? The premise (I suppose) being that it would reduce attendance at games. I just don't see it. Fans are still going to make their way to the stadiums to support their favorite teams (witness NFL, College).

Changing that rule would probably pave the way for a Fox Sports Southwest Texas high school "Game of the Week". There's no slowing down the locomotive that is Texas high school football, so you might as well go ahead and lay some more track.

Who Let the Dogs In?

The latest revelation in the Michael Vick saga is that he bankrolled the operation.

An airport incident, a "finger" incident, and a deepening involvement in dog fighting, not to mention the lowest completion percentage among starting NFL QB's last year. Not only is it looking as if Vick's season is in jeopardy, but possibly his career as well.

McGuffie Commits to Wolverines

Cy-Fair running back Sam McGuffie has given a verbal commitment to Michigan. Not a huge surprise since he has family in the area and his dad is from Lapeer, Michigan, a town of a little over 9,000 which is 51 miles north of Detroit. Don't forget this is only a verbal, although McGuffie seems fairly solid on his choice. The next question is whether he enrolls early.
