TRINIDAD -- It's an old story. The
big basketball team from the city goes
down to the little-blty school
somewhere in the sticks and the little
team plays like the Celtics, thus
mashing the visitors and sending them
home with tails tucked between legs.
It's no new thing that teams like
Snook, LaPoynor, West Lamar and
Trenton take on the best of the rest
every season and come out on top. And
the old excuse is that "well, they get to
workout all year long."
There is a large faction that feel that
schools that do not play any other sport
do have a distinct advantage on the
schools that participate in football.
Recently, one of the proponents of the to the state tournament from Region II, 16 districts.

LaPoynor's problems would arise
when district play became a concern,
according to a knowledgeable source.
They would be able to play anyone in

Still, the Flyers and Flyerettes would

Martins Mill, Neches and Slocum.
Other than those teams, there are few

Bonnie Northcutt, UIL Assitant
Athletic Director, said the proposal
would contain a provision for schools
that would have travel problems.
"The provision could place a school
