Alumni: Stafford suffers injury by Scott Farrell Comment (9)
Matthew Stafford's status for the next game is uncertain after he left Detroit's season opener against Chicago with a right shoulder injury following a blindside sack by the Bears' Julius Peppers.
 
Stafford watched from the sideline with his right (throwing) arm in a sling during the second half. Shaun Hill started the rest of the way.
 
The Lions would not say if he had X-rays. Stafford said he will go through tests this week and is not sure if he'll be ready for the Lions' next game against Philadelphia. Early reports are he could miss about six weeks of action.    
 
"I don't know, we'll see,'' Stafford said. "I will try, though.''

Team Tennis: HP No. 1 in the state by Scott Farrell Comment (2)
It's a position the Scots are accustomed to being in. Actually, expected based on results from the past decade. 
 
Once again HP (6-0, 2-0) is the top-ranked tennis team in the state in the first state poll published by the Texas Tennis Coaches Association. The Scots swept their four matches in their tournament to open the season and took impressive wins over three teams that were ranked in the TTCA's Class 5A top 10 - No. 3 San Angelo Central (10-1), No. 4 Lubbock Coronado (10-0) and No. 9 McKinney Boyd (10-2).
 
The Scots are one of only three Region II-4A teams ranked in the top 10, and there are only six Region II teams in this week's top 25. District 10-4A mate McKinney North is No. 12.

Field hockey: Friday games canceled by Scott Farrell Comment (2)
Due to heavy rains in the area, the field crew at Hockaday will not be able to stripe the field today, which has canceled Friday's schedule for the Hockaday Festival. Saturday's schedule is still on but will have changes from its original posting but has not been announced.
 
It is another day when HP's field hockey team must wait to open the season.  Tuesday's game at Hockaday, which was the season-opener for the Scots, was also postponed due to rain.

Football: JV directions to Burleson by Scott Farrell Comment (0)
For the JV Gold football parents making the road trip to Burleson tonight, here are the directions. For what it's worth, the two longest road trips to watch any HP football team at any level are today and tomorrow. The JV Gold's trip to Burleson Centennial measures at 51 miles, just short of the 59 miles the HP varsity will go to play at Sherman on Friday night.
 
At least you'll get to Burleson prior to rush-hour. The JV Gold kicks off  at 5:30 p.m. The HP varsity kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
 
Here are the directions to Burleson Centennial, a new high school in Burelson ISD that only has freshmen and sophomores this year. 
Directions: Take I-20 West.  Exit 35W going South.  Exit Renfro, take a Left at the light and the school and field will be on your Left.

Football: HP holds at No. 6 in state by Scott Farrell Comment (0)
The Scots maintained their No. 6 ranking in this week's Associated Press state football poll, though they lost six votes in their point total from a week ago. Austin Lake Travis (2-0) continues to sit atop the poll, as has the state's top matchup this week as it takes on No. 2 Aledo on Friday. How big is the game? It's being played at UT's Royal-Memorial Stadium in Austin instead of campus sites.
 
The top nine teams stayed in place from last week, and Cedar Park (2-0) moved into the top 10 for the first time at No. 10. Two interesting notes concerning local teams - Waxahachie (1-1) drubbed Carter but lost all five votes its had in last week's poll. Texarkana Texas also won but lost its one vote from last week's poll.  There are only three teams from Region II-4A receiving votes in this week's state poll - No. 6 HP, No. 9 Tyler and No. 17 Whitehouse.
 
There were not 20 teams receiving votes in the poll this week, so the list has been shortened to only those that gained at least one vote from the statewide press.

HP swept Red Oak in its first match of the season.
