As you may have already figured out, baseball is my sport of choice. So, I feel obliged to let you know that our hometown high school baseball team is in the finals in Austin, Texas (the capital) - or more specifically, Round Rock. This game is against El Paso Socorro, rated #1 High School team in the Nation by USA Today!The big deal for me is that it will be broadcast on FSN at noon (central time). I really like that! Generally, games played before players become professional are very exciting!
Our town is very sports-oriented and the Lufkin high school teams are very popular. I wasn't used to such a nice football stadium and the fact that people buy season tickets to watch.
Many people have gone over to Round Rock to watch the game in person and we wish them all a safe trip and a happy time.
Those of you up north may have seen "Friday Night Lights" which is based on Texas football, so you already know how important High School Sports are here. Of course, school sports teach youngsters a lot of skills necessary to cope in life and additionally, they bring the community together!
Good Luck to our Lufkin Panthers today!
