This week, Dave Campbell's Texas Football is counting down the top 50 must-see Texas high school football games in 2014. Keep in mind: this is not necessarily a ranking of the top 50 games, but rather the 50 games you won't want to miss. One rule to remember: each game must feature two Texas teams. We will take a look at the best Texas vs. out of state games later this month.
Monday: Nos. 50-41
Tuesday: Nos. 40-31
Wednesday: Nos. 30-21
Thursday: Nos. 20-11
TODAY: Nos. 10-1
10. Cisco at Wall (Week 2)
There's so much to love about this 3A non-district game that it's hard to know where to start. From a purely rankings standpoint, it's hard to beat — Cisco is No. 2 in 3A DII, and Wall is No. 5 in 3A DI. From a "what happened last year" standpoint, it's hard to beat — Cisco won the 2A DII state title, while Wall got edged out by Cameron Yoe in the 2A DI title game. From a "what's coming back" standpoint, it's hard to beat — Wall's got two-way star Kris Gutierrez and a scintillating defensive core, while Cisco's bringing back RB Landen Lewis and its own motley crew of defensive stalwarts. If you're looking for a small-school game better than this, anywhere in the state, at any time, you're really going to have to look really hard.
9. Daingerfield at New Boston (Week 11)
Look, there are a lot of quality teams in 3A Division I Region II. But it's safe to say that at the end of the day, Daingerfield and New Boston will meet for the regional championship. After all, it's been that way for the past five or so years. But before we starting thinking about a potential playoff game, Daingerfield and New Boston will duke it out for the 7-3A DI district championship on Week 11. No. 3 New Boston comes in with the higher ranking and home field advantage, which might just be enough to give the Lions the slight edge. New Boston will also have arguably the two most talented individuals on the field that night in running back Quinn Dedmon, our preseason district Offensive MVP, and defensive back Jeff Gladney, our preseason district Defensive MVP. Daingerfield also has talented playmakers like quarterback Malik Higgins and wide receiver Denzel Mims, but the name of the game for the Tigers under Aric Sardinea has always been team football. The fact that this game will take place on the last week of the regular season makes it that much more enticing.
8. Cameron Yoe at Refugio (Week 5)
We're pretty big into history around here, if you couldn't tell, which is why when teams like Cameron Yoe and Refugio mix it up, we can't help but find some historical perspective to confirm our giddiness. So, how's this: in the last four seasons, these two teams have combined to play in five state championship games, winning three of them. And the two powerhouses are careening toward one another as relative unknowns — but highly touted ones. Yoe, coming off a title, has RB Traion Smith back but a whole lot of question marks, too. Refugio loses its record-smashing signal-caller Travis Quintanilla, but the word is they've got an even better one waiting in the wings. By midseason, we should have a better feel for both of these teams, which will make their Week 5 matchup even more must-see.
7. Euless Trinity at Southlake Carroll (Week 8)
Sure, the UIL messed with our minds a little bit with its latest realignment — we're still trying to get used to saying Class 6A. But it did give us some very interesting districts like the monster that is 7-6A, which features contenders Coppell, Colleyville Heritage, L.D. Bell and of course, the two teams squaring off in this contest. Southlake Carroll enters the year ranked No. 5 and brings back quarterback Ryan Agnew, who is now part of a long line of successful Dragon quarterbacks after an eye-popping junior year. Agnew and the offense should be firing on all cylinders, and the defense should be just as strong with defensive tackle King Newton and safety Andy Chelf leading the charge. No. 6 Euless Trinity is going to run the ball up the gut and dominate in the trenches no matter whom they're playing. So expect running back Ja'Ron Wilson, offensive guard Patrick Vahe and defensive end Tipa Galeai to all make big impacts in this one. This playoff rivalry is now a district rivalry, and we love it.
6. Kilgore at Carthage (Week 8)
Feel familiar? It should. The last time we saw these two teams, it was on the turf at AT&T Stadium, as Carthage took down Kilgore, 34-23, to take home the 3A Division I state championship. And now, because the UIL loves us very much and wants us to be happy, these two teams are shoehorned into District 9-4A DI, which means — yes, that's right — the state title game rematch is a district game. Holy smokes. Carthage has some rebuilding to do, but the defense, led by DB Bryian Bolton and DE Chris Howard, should be sturdy while the offense finds its way. Meanwhile, Kilgore must be bent on revenge, and they have the playmakers — RB Kevrin Justice, WR Nick Orange, LB Kris Haynes — to exact it. It's another East Texas Super Bowl, and if you don't have your tickets now, it may be too late.
5. Euless Trinity at Galena Park North Shore (Week 4)
Oh hey, Euless Trinity. Didn't we just read about you? Yes, but the Trojans have another epic matchup this season when they travel down to H-Town to take on No. 10 Galena Park North Shore. This a true heavyweight battle that pits one of the Dallas-area's finest programs up against a Houston-area power. Sure, it's a non-district contest, but this game should have a playoff atmosphere around it. After all, there is tons of pride on the line considering the Dallas-area swept the 5A and 4A state titles a year ago. We've talked about Euless Trinity's smash mouth running game and the brute strength it has on both the defensive and offensive lines. But how do the Trojans match up with North Shore? Well, the Mustangs also love to run the ball with Texas commit Tristian Houston and have some studs of their own in the trenches in offensive lineman Tyler Moore and defensive end Dorrance Armstrong. Expect physical play, big hits and a Dallas vs. Houston game that is sure to be a classic.
4. Denton Guyer vs. Allen (Week 1)
The only regular season matchup of reigning state champions. Let us say that again: the only regular season matchup of reigning state champions. Is that enough to convince you that this matchup at Denton's Apogee Stadium is one of the biggest games in the state? OK, we'll go on. It's Denton Guyer's first game as a 6A program and their first game without QB Jerrod Heard (though we wouldn't worry too much about that — sophomore Shawn Robinson looks like the real deal, and besides, they've got RB Anthony Taylor and a fabulous, seasoned defense). And boy howdy, Allen will provide one heck of a welcome to 6A, as QB Kyler Murray looks to repeat (or even improve on) his Mr. Texas Football campaign last season. It'll also be the first look at the extremely young Allen defense, which may hold the key to their three-peat hopes. All told, it's the only regular season matchup of reigning state champions. Did we mention that?
3. Austin Westlake at Southlake Carroll (Week 1)
You may be asking yourself how this game isn't No. 1 on the list. Well, it definitely has a strong argument to be. After all, this is more than just a game. The off the field elements are just as if not more intriguing as the game itself. August 29 marks the return of the Todd Dodge to Southlake Carroll, where he led the Dragons to five 5A state finals and four championships from 2002-2006. An icon in Southlake, Dodge is sure to receive plenty of cheers from opposing fans. But that's not the half of it. This will also be Dodge's first game as head coach for Austin Westlake — a team he helped Southlake Carroll defeat in the 5A Division I title game in 2006 — after leaving Marble Falls this offseason. We spoke to Southlake Carroll head coach Hal Wasson, who was an assistant on Dodge's staff during that '06 title run, and he made it clear that his team was treating this game like any other. He put it best when he told us: "The team that plays the best is going to win."
2. John Tyler at Ennis (Week 8)
When the UIL's biennial realignment came around in February, there was significant hand-wringing over District 16-5A, and understandably so. The district covers a massive swath of Texas, stretching from the northwestern-most school (Ennis) to the southeastern-most school (Lufkin). That distance is 131 miles as the crow flies, but it's a two-and-a-half hour drive. That's far. But the district is the district, and one of the byproducts of the district is this absolutely heart-stopping collision for what will likely be the district title. It's No. 4 vs. No. 8 for the district title. It's Ennis' monstrous defense, anchored by DE James Lockhart, against John Tyler's blistering offense, starring QB Geo McCollister and WR Nick Cain. It'll be a 90-minute drive for JT to Ennis, and that's probably not ideal in the eyes of the UIL. But once they pull up to the stadium, all hell is going to break loose, and you'd best be there to watch it.
1. Cedar Hill at DeSoto (Week 9)
Here is what you've been waiting for — the granddaddy of them all! It doesn't get any bigger than two district rivals squaring off on a Thursday night on national television. But these aren't just any district rivals. This is No. 3 vs. No. 4, defending state champion vs. state finalist, TTHL vs. DeSotoU. It's Texas high school football at its finest, gosh durn it. Last season's clash saw DeSoto pound Cedar Hill, 47-20. But it was the Longhorns that got the last laugh as they went on to win the 5A Division II state championship while the Eagles were bounced by Allen in the 5A Division I state semifinals. Both teams are out for revenge in different ways, and we can't wait to see how it all transpires. By the way, if you're a neutral fan, you should watch just to witness the future stars of college football. Cedar Hill wide receiver DaMarkus Lodge and linebacker Richard Moore are both committed to Texas A&M, quarterback Justin McMillan is an LSU pledge, running back Aca'Cedric Ware picked USC and the list goes on and on. The same can be said about DeSoto, which also features a bevvy of FBS talent including defensive tackle Bryce English (UCLA), linebacker Chris Orr (Wisconsin), Kevin Thomas (Kansas) and more. We're amped, and you should be, too!

A bit of background for newcomers
Joe was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do.
One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
In today's letter, Joe is at his new barracks/station in Bridgnorth, Shropshire (much closer to home!)
Letter 22 – March 18th 1944
Friday night.
Dear Mom and Kids,
"I received your letter on Wednesday night but I can honestly say that this is the first real chance I've had of answering it! Last night I wrote in answer to a letter from Aunt E and Co (complete with her ususal PO!) so I do hope you'll excuse the delay.
Yes, I did phone you on Sunday (or at least tried to), I got the operator to get your number rung but when I came to put in the 10- I found that the box was full and wouldn't take any more! I didn't try to ring for any particular reason but the box was empty so I thought I'd try to get through. I suppose if I'd gotten through you wouldn't have been at the other end! Let me know what time, (after 6pm on a weekday) that I can get through to you and we can have a 'gas' being as I'm not so far from home.
I don't know whether I mentioned it in the other letters, but we may not get 6 weeks here, only 4 and no leave. We go either to Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man, Wales or Scotland for the A.G.S*. I only hope that it's the Isle of Man because Joe Lee has got a smashin' cousin over there!
I've told Joe about your invite, but about rations I don't know what we can scrounge. If we get a chance I'll let you know before-hand. It may be tomorrow-week.
Tell Joyce I'm very 'thorry' to hear she has a 'code' but she wouldn't get 'em if she didn't keep gorging fir to bust!
I see you've got a decent room at Tinkers after all!
About my fan-mail, I haven't had a letter from Alma or Marie for quite a few days now and I'm wondering if I put the letters in the wrong envelopes or not! I'll soon know!! I haven't heard from Stan for quite a while if he should write, the letter will go to 16 Elmdale Grove and you'll have to send it on to me. I wrote to Bert Thomas the other day. I haven't had an answer yet. Buster will soon be bashing the Browning won't he?
Today we went onto the turrets (grounded) for the first time. They're a marvel! We were firing the Browning the other day for the first time too. My ears are still ringing to the noise of four guns now! Their rate of fire is 20 bullets per second per one gun!! They get red hot after a few short bursts!
The only subject I'm not friendly with is Morse on the lamp at 6 words per minute! It takes all my time to write that fast!
There's not much else to write about now, so I'll close till the next time.
God Bless,
P.S. Cake?! (etc?)
P.P.S. My 4th pen has been swiped! Hence the pencil."
*A.G.S = Air Gunnery School
Such high spirits and testosterone!! He seems to be loving this new adventure which he's embarked upon. I wonder how many of the 55,000 boys just like Joe from Bomber Command who died felt the same way….?
Joe's full story is beautiful and tragic. He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories.
I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

A fall wedding – especially in the South – often means a few disgruntled college football fans missing a game, but one Aiken couple found a way to combine their love of football and their love for each other and were married at the Clemson football game on Saturday.
Bill Stephens and Vickie Desourdy tied the knot during halftime of the Clemson versus S.C. State game on Saturday. The wedding took place at the couple's tailgating spot behind Memorial Stadium in front of at least 60 guests, including their two children, with the roar of 83,000 fans and the strains of "Tiger Rag" in the background.
"He graduated from Clemson, and we both really love football and knew that we wanted to get married in the fall," said Desourdy, a graduate of Penn State University. "We didn't want to interfere with football season."
A friend of the couple who is a lay minister performed the ceremony.
Desourdy and Stephens wore orange Clemson football jerseys with the names "Bride" and "Groom" on the backs.
The wedding spread included barbecue and ribs, tiger paw cookies and a Clemson-themed cake complete with tiger ornaments, all surrounded by purple and orange decorations, Desourdy said.
After the ceremony, some went back into the stadium for the remainder of the game, which Clemson won 52-13. Others stayed and tailgated.
The couple originally wanted to have the ceremony on the sideline of the football field, but the athletic department denied their request. The tailgate was the alternate plan.
"We like football, and we just wanted everybody to come and have a good time. That was the goal, more than anything," Desourdy said.
The S.C. State game would provide less complications with travel and parking for guests compared with other larger games at Clemson this year, such as the season opener against Georgia.
Desourdy said she and Stephens, who are both former military, met two years ago at a function for military officers. They realized they were both at a Clemson game before Stephens graduated in 1984.
"We sat pretty close to one another," she said. They talked about a football wedding for about eight months and spent the last two months planning the festivities.
Angela Nixon, a spokeswoman for the university, said it's not often people get married at Clemson athletic events.
"We have people get married on campus at different places, but this is the first time I can recall it happening at a football game," she said, adding that she has been at the school for 12 years but couldn't speak for the athletic department. "We've had people propose in the stadium. We wish them well, and we're happy for them."
Desourdy said she and Stephens go to every home Clemson game.
Their game day wedding plans were met with surprise and enthusiasm.
"They said, 'Are you guys crazy?'" she recalled. "After that, everybody was really on board with it, and they're all football fans as well. They were wondering how we were gonna pull it off, but it worked out well."

Wind: 0 mph
Chief Joby Feccia of Waterbury Police Department reports: On Thursday, October 17, 2013, at approximately 10 a.m., I was dispatched to investigate a collision with an Amtrak passenger train and a person trespassing on the tracks. I requested assistance from the Waterbury Ambulance, Waterbury Fire Department and the Vermont State Police. Upon my arrival, I spoke to the engineer who directed me to the rear of the train. I was told the person hit was still alive and needed medical attention. I met with the conductor who was standing on Union Street near Stowe Street; he directed me to the assistant conductor who was on the railroad tracks with the person hit by the train. I brought my first aid supplies with me to the railroad tracks. I checked several times for a pulse; there was no pulse. I notified dispatch this was a fatality.
The train, Amtrak 55 was southbound from St. Albans to Washington, DC. There were 47 passengers aboard. None of the passengers were injured. The train was delayed 1 hour and 13 minutes during the investigation. The person hit by the train was identified as David Francis Jacobs, age 44, of Waterbury, VT. The engineer saw Jacobs sitting on a piece of wood in between the railroad tracks. When she sounded the whistle and activated emergency braking, Jacobs looked up but did not move from the tracks.

BOONVILLE - Starmount opened the 2013 season Friday night with two hard-luck losses to solid 1A squads.
In the season opener against Mountain Valley Conference rival West Wilkes, the Rams let a late lead slip away before falling 9-3 in extra innings. East Surry then held off Starmount 11-8 Saturday in a make-up contest from earlier in the week.
The Blackhawks struck first with an early run without a base hit in the first inning Friday night. Luke Shore and Samuel Stone saved another run in the frame with strong relay throw from center to short to gun down a runner at the plate.
Offensively, the Rams struggled in the blistering cold weather, finally picking up their first hit in the fourth inning.
After Tanner Mathis drew a walk to lead off the frame, Ben Combs blooped a single down the left-field line. Zack Worley followed with a bunt single to third to load the bases with nobody out.
With Stone at the dish, Mathis stole home on a suicide squeeze attempt to tie the game at 1-1. Two batters later, attempting another suicide squeeze, Combs was tagged out coming home as Stone was caught breaking for second as the Rams failed to capitalize on the runners in scoring position.
The Rams put together another big inning in the fifth playing small ball.
Shore reached first on an infield single off the pitchers' leg before stealing second. Sawyer Davis followed with a bunt single to third, advancing to second on keen base running on the play, setting up Starmount with two runners in scoring position and one out.
Caleb West broke through with a single past a diving shortstop, plating two runs to give the Rams a 3-1 edge.
Still clinging to the two-run lead heading to the top-half of the seventh, the Blackhawks finally got to sophomore Blake Cheek on the mound.
West clawed their way back to tie the game at 3-3 with two outs in the frame, sending the game to extra innings.
After 1-2-3 innings in the eighth for both squads, the 'Hawks exploded for six runs in the ninth to cruise to the 9-3 victory.
Mathis picked up the tough loss, allowing just one unearned run in 3.2 innings of work, while striking out four. Cheek pitched 4.1 solid innings in his first varsity game, striking out three.
The Rams return to the field Wednesday night in a non-conference tilt with Surry Central before heading to Ashe County Friday night.

Rated 3.8 out of 5Â by 6 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by isil Not Slim Fit- Runs LARGE!! Good Quality!! hi, everyone, I'm very happy with my purchase coz I took measurements into consideration!! I wear S/M in all brands usually M because I have a taller torso and 35'' bust. 28 waist. Im 5.6. I wanted a slim fit so I got XS after torturing myself a week about it (I'm overseas). I'm uploading some pictures of me wearing the XS in color blue! watch out for the MEASUREMENTS, size yourselves and if u prefer slim fit got with a size or two smaller. ALSO the white stains seen on the right arm of the model r on both arms and in a lighter form. I LOVED the shirt Im sure ill be wearing it pretty often. 8.27.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by everautumn The smaller you can go, the better. I completely, 100% concur with the previous reviewer who mentioned sizing down to pretty much your ultimate limit if you want this shirt to fit you as it does the model. Due to the reviewer's recommendation I tried on the XS in-store and it was really flattering -- since I'm short and love Victorian/prairie styles I have to be really picky about making oversized items work for me so the look reads "bohemian" and not "sister wife". So the XS really worked out positively for me in this respect. The only thing that wasn't perfect was that the upper arms were a little tight (that has more to do with my build than the cut of the shirt), but as I continued wearing this top while trying on a pile of different pants, I felt them become more comfy just from the act of wearing the top for a few minutes in the dressing room. I don't think that any minor snugness would really be much of a problem going forward with this shirt, especially because the fabric is more of a thin denim with a lot of give to it. HOWEVER, just to be certain I wouldn't regret my decision, I tried on the S. The main difference I noticed in the bigger size was the roomier upper arms, but the lower arms were a little baggy and unflattering even when cuffed; also, the placket hit a bit lower and the body was looser in general. It wasn't like the difference was extreme (I think my usual M would have been extreme!) but it was enough for me to stick with the XS. As for the style of this shirt -- it is beyond reproach for me. The pintucks and the velvet binding are as darling and romantic as the photos show, and the dark indigo colour made my grey-green eyes look almost blue -- so it was totally a home run. I recommend it highly, but try on in-store or order multiple sizes if you're at all in doubt! 9.19.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Pigatron huge shirt I was expecting a tailored, slim fit such as depicted in the front-view photo of the model wearing the blue shirt. It must've been pinned back for the photo because the shirt is a relaxed fit, even in size XS. It's like a comfy chambray shirt with some velvet detail. It's not terrible, but I'm going to return it because for the price, I expected a really cool tailored shirt. Also, it's a bit lighter (i.e., casual) than in the photo, but maybe that's just me. 8.29.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by LeggoMyMeggo Great shirt I think this short is pretty cute, though it's a bit loose and a bit finicky when trying to find bottoms to pair it with 8.22.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by lilyacohen Beautiful Shirt but Roomy I saw this denim shirt in the store and fell in love. The craftsmanship is done very well, however, I agree with some of the previous reviews that it does run large. I am 5'6'', about 120lbs and normally wear a small or extra small in FP clothing. The small was actually kind of big so I downsized to the XS, the shoulders fit where they should but the rest of it is still roomy- you can tell from the back shot of the model, not as shown in the frontal view picture(must have been pinned back). I still loved the shirt and bought it, but beware that it will not be as form fitting as seen on the model. 10.17.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Blizzard Non-Velvet Chambray Buttondown Gorgeous acid-washed midweight, more denim than chambray, top. The blizzard colorway does not have velvet trimming around the pleating on the front which was a bit disappointing, however the top is nicely sewn and fits pretty tts. The one I received is more on the bluer side than white, but it looks really fabulous. 8.17.2012

Family adopts again in honor of National Adoption Day
PHOENIX - The National Adoption Day event in Maricopa County on Saturday should be the largest adoption day event in the United States, according to the Superior Court.
A total of 350 children have found and will officially become part of their forever families. Last year, 320 kids were adopted into permanent, loving homes.
Kevin and Dyan Gay will be participating in the event and their story is one that is almost as unbelievable as it is remarkable.
The couple has four children from a previous marriage. They've adopted seven from the Arizona foster care system and will officially become the parents of seven more lovely children.
"You're not going to find anything else in life that can give you as many blessings as this does," Dyan Gay said.
She said watching these children grow and change is amazing, considering many of them have had a very difficult start in life.
She does admit, however, there are challenges to raising so many children.
"You take a breath and remember just where they came from and far they've come. Without the adoption process, our lives would be so empty," she added.
Meanwhile, Kevin Gay, said it's his calling to give these children a loving and stable home.
"We pour as much love as we know how to into the lives of these kids. That love returns, the blessings come back tenfold," he said.
Kathryn Pidgeon, co-chair of the Maricopa County National Adoption Day Foundation said in a press release, more children have entered Arizona's foster care system in recent years.
"The number of foster children in Arizona has spiked over the last few years," Pidgeon said. "Right now, there are more than 13,000 children in the foster care system in Arizona. "Of those children, 4,000 kids are eligible for adoption, waiting for homes."

Volleyball Brings back Victory From Elmira
Reischuck earns All Tourney Honors

Elmira, NY -- The Elmira College Soaring Eagles Women's Volleyball team went undefeated in four matches en route to claiming the 2010 Elmira College Invitational Saturday afternoon in Speidel Gymnasium. The five team event took place over a two-day span with every participating team meeting each opponent once. For Hilbert, the young team split games on Friday, September 10th and lost both games the 11th moving their overall record to 3-5. Earning All-Tournament Team honors for Hilbert was freshman outside hitter Chelsea Reischuck (East Aurora, NY/East Aurora).
Hilbert opened the tourney with a win over Utica College, 3-1 (25-15, 26-24, 17-25, 25-10). Senior Carole Jones (Bliss, NY/Letchworth) led the attack with 14 kills (.476%) while sophomore Rachel Kwiatkowski (West Seneca, NY/Orchard Park) and freshman Chelsea Reischuck each contributed 9 kills. Freshman setter Shannon Memminger (Amherst, NY/Sweet Home) passed for 24 assists. The evening game saw the Hawks battle Houghton College in a 3 set loss (5-25, 12-25, 13-25). Jones again led in kills with Memminger distributing the ball for 7 assists.
Day two found Hilbert starting the day slowly with a first set loss to Hartwick (10-25). Set two was a more competitive game with a 23-25 loss, but then Hartwick came back ready to pull the victory from the Hawks with a 25-18 win. In the final game of the tourney, Hilbert and the host Elmira battled hard in the first set with Elmira prevailing 25-21, but the Soaring Eagles would prove to be the team of the tournament easily winning the final two sets (25-9, 25-18).
Joining Reischuck on the All-Tournament team were Sasha Zavadska (MVP, Elmira), Meghan Phipps (Houghton), Courtney Desmond (Hartwick), Brittany Raykoske (Elmira), and Leah Scott (Houghton).
Hilbert looks forward to their home opener on Tuesday, September 14 with a 7 pm game against Alfred University.
