believe game push shove time
I can't believe that if push comes to shove that they couldn't do something about it. They should have done it a long time ago. This game is about to get away from Dallas, and that would be a shame.
central city father hall high kids meant rip rock school warriors
I don't think the city of Little Rock completely understands how much Rip has meant to the city or to the state. He's been a father to so many different kids that were not only Parkview Patriots, but to Central High Tigers, Hall High Warriors or any other school here.
