Exactly. Of course changing realignment to make matchups more fair helps, but fairness always helps, and that shouldn’t be a knock against PNG. But, they created the fixed divisions in what, 2018? How did PnG do in that setup before Joseph showed up? Elite coaching mixed with good players and good luck, and a level playing field, yeah that helps a lot. But for anyone trying to say PNG had it easy, why don’t the other 120-ish teams in 5aD2 do just as well?

FBM made it to the 4th round in 22-23. If that’s “weak,” I don’t know what “strong” is.

I can’t see Nederland beating Huntsville.

Nederland has had more or as many as PNG for several years at a time prior to the current swing. I don’t know about every year. We were practically equal in the 2017 count, but I could be remembering it wrong. It’s only recently PNG has trended up enrollment-wise.

If I’m not mistaken, Silsbee has never been to state. -

With the addition of Prieto, this district has a new wrinkle. If we assume both Nederland and Dayton are improved with their HC additions, and if we assume they both show that improvement enough this season to at least challenge PNG/LC/Huntsville, the district race is fascinating. I don’t mean to overstate how good they could be - It’s more likely than not that a first year under a new coach is more “gradual progress” than “throwing a grenade on the whole schedule.” But, I also don’t want to overstate how good the favorites are. Last year was last year, this year is brand new. The season was already going to be interesting because you’re throwing PNG, LC, and Huntsville into the same test tube. If Dayton and Nederland improve even enough to make some noise, it becomes a murderer’s row. I personally hope that’s the case. I’d love our district to stomp into Region 2 and scatter everyone else’s marbles.

I look at it as a toss up between Dayton and Nederland for the fourth spot. Dayton has a more proven coach, but I (perhaps naively) refuse to not think Nederland is a good coach away from putting things together. But, I’d still give an edge to Dayton. They were a more complete team than Nederland last year and are returning some key pieces. Nederland won an “anybody’s game” matchup with them. Add Prieto and the coin weighs more toward Dayton (and not just against Nederland). And, just my two cents: I have trouble choosing between LC or PNG for first place. PNG was better last year, overall, but only slightly. LC brings back a stud QB and who knows who else. And, there’s hardly any margin for error. We could reasonably drop the first two of district and be fighting for third.

I’d love to see someone do an article explaining the rules on recruiting violations and how it all works. I’d be confident guessing that most fans, even dedicated year-round observers of the entire high school football process, don’t have a good grasp of it (i.e., Me and probably most of the state). As news like this breaks, it can very often be a mystery as to what exactly constitutes wrongdoing, what rules govern, and when player transfers DON’T amount to “recruiting.” It’s one of those things where in some contexts it seems like it’s open season and in others they lay down the hammer. The impression, even if not intended, is one of chaos and unpredictability.

This is huge. The difference in Crosby when he was there was immediate and obvious. Dayton is going to take a massive step forward and make that district a lot more interesting. One question: Lake Worth was 10-3 the season before he showed up, with a 6-5 (first round playoff exit) in his one season there. Obviously, a season is just one season, but that’s a significant step back from the year earlier. Any thought or inside info on that year? Graduated a lot of talent? Totally new system?

It was on Facebook. I didn’t see it until after the fact, but I’m not on any direct Nederland pages.

That’s going to be tough

August 30 - @Klein Oak September 6- @BU September 13 - La Porte BYE September 27 - Montgomery Lake Creek October 4 - @Huntsville October 11 - Splendora October 18 - @West Fork October 25 - Nederland November 1 - Montgomery November 8 - @Dayton This is about as good a district travel schedule I could have hoped for. I would have preferred Nederland be one of the away games, to get either Huntsville, Dayton, or West Fork at home. As it is, we get both Montgomery schools at home. Regardless of travel, this is a tough schedule. Preseason, I could see us going 1-2. La Porte, MLC, and Huntsville all in a row is going to be like a playoff run. And, Klein Oak looks like they’ll have some serious size and strength. First five weeks will be a murderers’ row, not counting BU - Who knows what they‘ll be next year, but if I had to guess I’d say “not good” until they have a new coach. West Fork, Nederland, and Montgomery are wild cards. I think Dayton and Splendora won’t make much noise. West Fork: New schools are always intriguing. Sometimes they go straight to being good. Nederland: New coach, determined to get back into the mix. Montgomery: I don’t know much about them, other than we played them in the playoffs in ‘21 and ‘22. They strike me as always being at least pretty good. Hunstville and MLC are both returning talent from last year, and we saw how good they were. If Lake Creek had beaten us, I think they could have come away with a state championship. We’ll be good too, I think. But, this is going to be an exciting district.
