On Thursday night the Patriots once again showed much improvement against a tough Rayville Hornet team....a team that is coached by an insane Bo Barton. Bo's twighlight zone offense had the Patriots, the fans, and, yes, even me confused. Of course, I'm easy to confuse.

Great game for Tony Shaw, Adrian Gardner, Keyontrae Anderson. And good job for Tyler Roberts who did an admirable job filling in for Cody Hughes. The o-line is really blocking well. Somehow, I left out Nathan Gallup who, only a freshman, did a great job filling in for Derek Parker.

Independence high school next week. When do we get to the easy part of the schedule????? There is none.

Tonights show

The coaches show is tonight at 6:30 on KMAR 95.9. Listen in, there could be some interesting news to report.

What a great effort our young Patriots put forth in Stonewall against the N. DeSota Griffins. They played the entire 2nd half without the starting QB, Cody Hughes, and starting WB Tony Shaw. Give a lot of credit to Tyler Roberts for taking care of the ball and leading a TD drive to start the 3rd quarter.

Kedderick McCarthy was dominate on the defensive end of things.


I was exceptionally bad in the post game show.....I was so happy for the team and it's different when you have one of your own out there. I will try to hold off my celebration next time.

It's Friday already. I will be making my way to the school soon and David and I will make the long trip to Stonewall.

The newsstar picked the Patriots for the win.

Two days to recover.

Yep, that's right. It's taken two days to recover from a looooonnnnnnggggg Friday. I was up at 2:45am to go to work in Monroe. I got back to Winnsboro in time to help Terry Shirley setup the PA system. Then I setup the radio equipment. Then the game started. After the game, David and I broke down the radio stuff and thanks to Ryan Parks, I got it loaded in my car. Then I helped Rick "The Candyman" and Colby "The Director"Berry and Coach Joseph Purvis put up the PA system. The First Lady grabbed a heavy box and put me to shame. Tired yet? I was, but then I watched the game film. Finally, on the verge of passing out, I decided to go home......only, I had to take the radio equipment back first. It was well past midnight before your humble loudmouth was home.

Can't wait to do it again next week.

Long week

Yeah, it's been a long one. Tonight's show went well. Conides and Purvis....I'm getting ya'll on the air one of these nights.

I've spent most of my time this week getting the pregame music ready....it won't be perfect, but I hope it turns out all right.

First Game

It wasn't pretty, but the season is under way. Facing a team of nearly 100 players, with no freshman, the Patriots fell 45-8. Captain Shreve is very talented. Maybe not Bastrop, but definitely close. QB Mark Kimball was perfect on the night. 11 for 11 and 3 TD's.

The Patriots have made the first step in what is a long race to build a quality program. Coach Sebren and the staff will make adjustments and continue to work hard and teach our kids.

It was great to have the First Lady of FPHS athletics on the pre-game show. Brandi Sebren enjoyed it,as well, and we hope to make her a regular guest on the broadcasts.
