TVCC Game Day
As I write this we are just 20 minutes away from kickoff of the No. 4 TVCC Cardinals opening up their season at home against the No. 13 Tyler Junior College Apaches.
It is a home game against a fierce rival and a conference game. Do you need anything else to get you excited?
Well how about this: Today also marks the TVCC debut of Devonte Fields, the defensive end who expected to play for TCU this year and was named the preseason Big 12 Player of the Year. This is a guy with serious NFL prospects.
I’ll be reporting from the sidelines on Twitter @hctxnow … and I will be reporting scores by quarter on Facebook at Henderson County Now and Weinstein Law.
9 and Oh Yeah!

The Cardinals went 10-2 and claimed SWJCFC, regional and bowl championships in 2013. Per the NJCAA ruling, the college will vacate the bowl championship. The NJCAA does not have jurisdiction over conference/regional issues.
A TVCC spokesman declined to comment further on the issue at this time. Continue reading “NJCAA Vacates TVCC 2013 Football Wins; Basketball Violation Self-Reported”
