The Northside Independent School District has 10 high schools in District 27-6A and they are divided into Zone A and Zone B. When I graduated from Clark high school (one of the Northside schools) in 1995, there were only 4 other high schools…Taft, Jay, Marshall, and Holmes. Man, that is some incredible growth! These were…

Week 14 – NO GAMES FOR ME
I am taking some time off from the world to spend time with my wife and my parents. I know Judson, Brandeis, and Steele won their Week 14 games on Friday and I have no clue about the Reagan Rattlers (but, I will assume Reagan won) which means Judson will play Reagan in the…
