Not the Right Way To Start a Game…
…but definitely a correct way to end it. In the battle of 6-0 unbeaten teams, Pearce scored on the very first play with a ~70 yard QB keeper run. In typical HP fashion though, we showed them that early celebration isn’t a great idea with a 45-20 win. That most likely will make us win district, but Pearce still has to almost lose every one of their remaining games for us not to go D2 in the playoffs. On one hand us going D2 would be good since those are the smaller schools; on the other hand it’s an extra game to play during the playoffs.
I also got a glimpse at the HP baseball schedule tonight and have been able to start planning my spring break based on HP’s games. Regardless of what my ultimate decision is with UTD baseball, I will still likely only do anything with HP around my spring break and then towards the end of district when I’m finishing up with school. Due to the addition of two “study days” before our final exams in the spring, my last exam could potentially be as last as May 7th. Compared to some schools that’s not all that late, but it should be two days earlier on the 5th. I seriously doubt all that many people are going to use those days for studying, and for me it’ll likely just be two more days in which I can potentially forget stuff. I’ll still be taking all of my stuff home when I would have otherwise, so I guess overall it’s not that big of a deal.
