Lumberton and Kelly played on Dec. 29th, a game which ended Lumberton 1-0 Kelly. Lumberton faced off against HJ on Jan. 2nd, ending with a scoreline of Lumberton 0-0 HJ

This one is gonna shape up to be a good one. HJ is missing two, maybe three (rumor is that a defensive lineman will be ineligible to play tonight), starters. After the tough loss last year, Liberty will definitely be looking to get back at HJ. Whenever HJ comes to play, however, they're tough to beat. They showed this last week at WOS. HJ also will not want to lose on their homecoming. This one should be a pretty close game.

Mexia 3-1 HJ FT

Cheers.

Aren't Giddings' best two players at WR though? Do you think they would try some trickery and use these guys on the ground?

I sometimes question why he moved #12 Murray, who was ranked at WR, to tailback. I understand that he needed to fix him to the offense but Murray hasn't really gotten many receptions this year, which is odd. I'm sure he has his reasons. Great job from Sloan this year though.

Navarro handled Giddings earlier in the season. The final was 37-21.

From the film I've seen from the Giddings-Connally game, it looks like Giddings didn't really have control until the second half. Without the two kickoff returns, that game would be completely different. Giddings has some good backs and receivers but I haven't seen anything special. I've been told that two of their receivers are committed to D1 schools (one of them was Tech and I can't remember what the other one was) but there's virtually no film of them doing anything besides catching open passes. I'm not trying to belittle a team who does have some impressive wins and is probably better than film shows, but this one could be a lot closer than people think. We'll see on Friday.

Game will be at Bowers Stadium at Sam Houston State, not quite sure what day but possibly friday.

New week, new thread. Survive and advance. Who ya got?

HJ should be predominantly healthy this week. Murray(#12), who got hurt in the OF game, suited up but didn't play much last week against HF. He should be good to go for this week. Other than that, they have a few minor injuries that shouldn't prevent players from getting on the field and doing their jobs well.

Couldn't help but notice there's not a thread for this one. Anybody have any useful info on Shepherd?

This has been the most confusing district in SETX this year, and it's only a 5 team district
