Valencia girls

Remarkable story. Earlier in the season, one of their players, junior Erika Herrera, was killed in a tragic car accident. The team continued its season, but when the state tournament seeds were announced, they were left out of the field. But then the NMAA announced it had erred in seeding the 5A girls, and the revised seeds had Valencia at No. 12. Today they upset No. 5 Alamogordo on penalty kicks to advance to the quarterfinals.

Spinning High School Goal Posts In Texas???

I was watching one of our local Texas channels tonight and during the lengthy high school football coverage there was a game where the goal posts were unbelievable. Both the right and left uprights actually had two poles that were twisted twice forming three sections with arced, open areas in between each twist of the two poles. And here is the awesome part...they were spinning rather quickly. Has anybody seen or heard of this? Now, I have never had a drink in my life and have never smoked anything in my life but I did just get my flu and pneumonia shots at the same time and they really messed me up big time or I might be just insane. LMBO All of the other goal posts during the show were normal. I searched the web for this but found nothing. Has anybody got information on this? ....the posts, not me being insane. LOL

Keep this thread to picks only so other users don’t get confused.

THIS IS THE OPENING ROUND OF THE PICK 'EM PLAYOFFS. 64-TEAM BRACKET WILL POST LATER THIS WEEK WITH RESULTS FROM LAST WEEK.

Most likely first-round upsets?

In reality, lower-seeded teams hardly ever go on the road and win in this round. But some possibilities:

Onate (11) over Hobbs (6). The talented but inconsistent Knights beat Hobbs 1-0 two weeks ago in Las Cruces and played them tough when they met in Hobbs.

Valencia (9) over Capital (8). (Not sure if a win by a No. 9 over a No. 8 is really an upset). Capital doesn't score much and Valencia has played some good teams tough.

Others?
