Football in Parker County, save for a few postseason games that may yet be played at Aledo’s Bearcats Stadium to accommodate a neutral site, is done for the season. Other fall sports schedules continue, but basketball becomes the most prevalent and plentiful as the Thanksgiving weekend draws to a close.
Tournaments are normally rampant from November through early December, as coaches try to get as much game time as possible for their players. The plan is to prep for the district and conference schedules that will kick in toward mid-December and into January. Fans planning to attend tournaments should contact the schools for specifics regarding opponents and start times.
Weatherford’s varsity boys host Aledo Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. before heading west to play in the three-day Frenship tourney, which begins Thursday. The Lady Roos varsity, idle since their win over Mineral Wells on Tuesday, ease back into their post-holiday schedule, hosting Arlington Lamar Friday at 6 p.m.
Aledo’s varsity boys, after the meeting against Weatherford, will enter the Joshua tournament Thursday. The tournament lasts through Saturday.

The Peaster girls play at All Saints Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. prior to entering the three-day Nazareth tourney beginning Thursday. The Greyhounds also have a Tuesday game at Graford, beginning at 7:30 pm. before they play in the Lorena Tournament Thursday through Saturday.
Millsap’s girls host Lipan Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. while the Bulldogs travel to play at Grandview on the same night. Both girl’s and boy’s varsity teams enter the Thursday through Saturday Santo Tournament later in the week.
Poolville’s boys host Era Tuesday, then head to Turner, Okla. to participate in the annual Red River Shootout. The Lady Monarchs also travel to play in the Turner tourney, which is scheduled to be played Thursday through Saturday.
