Tourney in Texarkana

Texarkana 14 - Shreveport 3. What fun to watch our "senior" Bandits play again! The games are being played in 30 minute "halves" instead of the regular format, with the clock running consistently.

Too bad more people didn't make the trek out there this morning. Hopefully, there will be more tonite. Bandits play Dallas at 7:00.

Wish I could give a full out report on the game, but since the goals weren't announced, its kinda hard since seems like the majority of them were scored on the opposite end of the ice than where I was. I'm pretty sure Mike Johnson, Matt Johnson (I think he's Mike's brother), Chris Ross and Ryan Olson all got at least one. BP, Go Bandits, help me out here. Colby Van Tassel played, which was a treat for me since I didn't ever see him play. Coop is supposed to play tonite.

Only one penalty and no checking. I guess the "old" guys cannot handle it. lol


Watched the first half of the Little Rock/Dallas game. Much faster skating it seemed. Score was 4-3 Dallas when I left with SOGs were 6 for LR and 22 for Dallas. I was kinda surprised when the LR team came out wearing Riverblades sweaters, so I asked around. They are not former Riverblade players.

Looking forward to tonite. Hope to see y'all there.

Actually, the Little Rock team are the Razorblades, not Riverblades. And none of our skaters have ever played professionally. Enjoyed the weekend (until the refs took our 2 goals away in the play-off game). Everyone was very nice and supported all the teams (except for the announcer/music guy - was really excited at the beginning in thinking that everyone would be treated to the goal music and having their goals announced). Thanks for a great weekend!

Also, wanted to thank the booster club for selling concessions. The chili was great!

I think the Dallas/LR score ended up 9-7 with Dallas winning.

Texarkana beat Dallas later Saturday nite something like 13-3. For whatever reason, the scoreboard wouldn't show Texarkana's goals passed 9 in either game. I do know Ross had a hat trick, but can't say for sure who all scored. (I've slept since then) Coop made it there for the game, as well as some of the Jr. Bandits to support their coach. Every time he'd skate by the glass where the Jr.'s were, they hollar out "COOP!" Got to see baby Ross after the game when his daddy's did a spin around the ice showing him off. Oh & Coop.......thanx for the "Fan Salute" after the game........lol

Thanx to Big Daddy for letting me bum a beer. Found out later that the VIP Room was open so I got the rest of my beer from up there. Oh, do the dipshit in the VIP Room bitching about our Barn, just let me say WE KICKED YOUR TEAM'S ASS IN THERE!!

Texarkana went on to win the tourney by beating Shreveport 6-4. Heard Shreveport brought some ringers in for Sunday's games.

I didn't make it to the 9:00 a.m. game on Sunday (neither did some of the Texarkana players. Heard after Saturday's games they consumed mass quantities of adult beverages ), so I'm not sure on the score.

Wish more people would have come out. It was cheap way to burn-off a weekend and to enjoy some hockey. See y'all Tuesday nite.

You are right ICP I will not be going anywhere. For the record the weekend was alot of fun and I enjoyed being there to help out Ross. As for the scores, we didn't have radios with the box so there was no way to communicate the scoring up to me.

Sounds like Roscoe's plan worked out pretty well......I am sure he figured no info over the PA is better than wrong info over the PA.

Very Good ICP you are really getting the hang of this BLOG

You know, sometimes I get so tired of explaining crap to liberals.

This is a forum, not a blog.

Well, if you get run out, you can always come down and watch the games with me and BP. Besides, I highly doubt Announcerdude has that power anyway.
