The hardest thing is getting clients.

This is the key.

I'm self employed and I am lucky enough to have 3-4 clients that have kept me almost 100% billable for 7 years.

- Tax write-offs
- Obviously flex hours.

This has to be at least the 5th time in the last ten years that Duncanville and Gelena Park North Shore are meeting in a title game.

Pinhook, between the Vermillion River and Evangeline Thruway, has to be the narrowest 4 lane road in the world.

I get that sometime schools are hundreds of miles apart, and in-between sites are needed, but what if schools are close (e.g. DFW metroplex)? Can schools host on home fields?
