I realize this is like winning the special olympics, but REL is about the only other one that could hold a candle to PTHS.

**** Yea!

Yeah, and Rosie O'Donnel is hotter than Star Jones. So what?

well atleast i went to REL. i guess im top dog here!

F*(%#@ing Right!!!! nothing better than high school smack!!!!

Sadly it (PT) has fallen waaay below what it used to be.

I went to REL as well. We pretty much owned Pine Tree back in the day but I dont think that's saying much.

my years there, we pimp slapped REL around the basketball court. although, you can throw longview, lufkin, marshall, etc. into that mix.

that's not saying much ruddy. you were playing against a team who's coach never won an outright district championship in 24 years


i played for jones and he was calling the same plays he began with in the 80's. what teams like longview, marshall, nac, etc would do would pass down to their new coaches RELs playbook. worked everytime. it sucked playing for him too

proof in the pudding right there, bud.

and my parents grew up in Carthage and live there now - that place is a world class sheethole.

matt, i actually guarded the kid who died (brandon matlock?) in a game the night of his car wreck. turned on the news and saw clips of me and him in the game and thought it was pretty cool until i realized why they were showing it.

ya that was my soph year. his wreck happened a block from my house.

weird thing is that no one heard it on our street but once the sirens started going off we were all up and trying to find out what happened.

the next morning we were all at the hospital and it was pretty disturbing.

the team that year was awesome, but still didn't win district outright. they made it to the 2nd round of playoffs without matlock and jones royally screwed it up in that game. if brandon was there, we were all sure that 3rd or 4th round in playoffs was a for sure thing.

we won that game, but it was tough. i always liked going up against brandon, he was one of the better post players i would go up against outside of playoffs every year. he was always a nice guy before and after the games as well. y'all did have a pretty good team that year. whatever happened to spurlock? he had a ton of talent but didn't seem to have it between the ears.

also matt, i'm very good friends with some REL people you probably know. were you a part of the FBI crew?

I know some of those guys.

i wasn't apart of it. they were mainly football players and some other guys who did come too our games. but im sure i know them and may even have been friends with some of them


edit: spurlock went to TJC after that and then was promptly arrested. he has been in and out of jail since and i haven't heard or seen him in quite a few years.

wow, what a waste of talent.

Just got back from my 20 year REL reunion.
Good times.
