SAN ANTONIO - Back when your Field Correspondent was 10 -- just after the dawn of time -- the neighborhood high school, dear old John H. Reagan, advanced to the state football championship game.  The beloved Raiders traveled about a million miles out to West Texas to take on a team with the unlikely colors of black and white from a place we had only heard less-than-flattering reports about from dear old Dad, who liked everywhere.

In other words, we played Mojo before there was a Mojo. Back then, it was just plain ol' Odessa Permian.  My, how things have changed.   Permian continues to put the Mojo on everybody, while my dear alma mater is a Class 4A that can't get out of the weakest district in the state.  And if kicking everybody around the state isn't enough, Permian also has a championship Web site.

MojoLand is better than some college and pro sites.  The Permian page also has audio clips and playoff game photos -- although there were none from that crushing loss to Reagan.  It also has a page devoted to the cheerleaders and the booster club and a chat room (no trash talking, though -- don't mess with those people in Odessa, even electronically).

Every varsity player has a page, and there's background on the football program, including records and a history of the school. There are even maps, detailing how to get to the school and its stadium.


And a hearty Garland: Although not as technically fancy as MojoLand, the Garland High School page is filled with information, like year-by-year results and coaching records.

You won't find Mojo's impressive collection of hardware, but you will have a little fun. And there's also links to some other high school pages, including Abilene Cooper, Columbus and Schulenburg.
