State Call-Ups


RESULTS!!  I'm gonna need RESULTS!!

Okay, I plan to get on the computer around 5:00 p.m. Saturday to work on call-ups.

There will have been plenty of sharing among athletes, coaches, and fans by then.  Y'all may already know most - if not all - of the call-ups.  If this service is becoming obsolete, let me know and we'll stop spinning our wheels each February.

Please send complete (prelims & finals) results to my email address

Also, please check this blog every so often.  If I'm having issues getting results from a particular region, I'll let y'all know here.

Finally, there will be glitches!  Help by getting me corrections ASAP!  Even thought this is unofficial, we'd like it to be 100% accurate by the time kids check it one last time on Sunday morning.

Just About That Time Again


5A & 6A State Meet Call-ups

Unless we get a volunteer to replace Scott, I'll be putting together the unofficial call-ups list this year.

Anyone interested?

To make it work, we need a coach to email region results - including prelims - as quickly as possible on Saturday, February 2nd.

More details on that later.

4A State Meet

Look for another 4A Mythical State Champs meet again this year.  After Clark Wilson's passing last year, I went ahead and renamed it the Clark Wilson Invitational.

For those who didn't know him, Clark ran a coach-owned club program in Longview that produced numerous state qualifiers out of little schools you probably never heard of.  He was a larger-than-life figure and we mustn't forget the man.

Once the 5A state meet's wrapped up and the dust has settled, I'll go back through district, region, and state meet results and sort out the 4A kids and relays.

Middle School Rankings

Please get the word out to middle school coaches to email me meet results so I can get this year's rankings done by the end of the school year.

Once completed, those will look similar to the TISCA All-State lists for high school.

It's never too early for those...hint, hint...
