I am nearly 60 so one might contribute it to my age. I always played on Defense so perhaps that helps explain it as well. We all have our own personal taste for the game. I detest super high scoring games.
Just in this past week (WEEK FOUR) we had the following scores in Six-Man.
124-108 Fort Davis over Midland Trinity
90-71 Austin Hill Country over Kerrville Our Lady of the Hills
96-84 May over Lometa
90-70 Throckmorton over Dallas Covenant
It has been going on for a while.

Ever since the earth was cooling down or as far back in time when I first saw a football game, cheerleaders and fans alike would chant the familiar yell:
DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE! Well, times have changed.
There is a new yell in town. It goes like this.
D A N G DANG!
We got to score again!
D A N G DANG!
We got to score again!
D A N G DANG!
We got to score AGAIN!
Cheerleading etiquette says this particular cheer cannot or should not be used until both teams have given up 70 points!
Surely I am not the only person that feels this way! I know my good friend Jess Roberts feels this way. He is the head coach at Fort Davis. He was just involved in such a crazy game. This is what he has to say about the subject. “It was not my intention to go for a scoring record. Every time I see a game that the scores is in the hundred I always think holy crap! Where’s the defense?” He goes on to say “I hope God doesn’t strike me down but what’s wrong with out- scoring them? I know that is going to come back to bite me in the long run. We have got to do better on defense.”
Jess, my old friend, you better “git’ er done” soon as Throckmorton is coming to town in a couple of weeks and they just hung 90 on the #2 ranked TAPPS Dallas Covenant Eagles. I suppose the good news is they gave up 70!
