Central only lost 67-64 in that game with Aransas Pass, it was a close game through out. Plus they are a 4A team.  I will be in Livingston tomorrow night to hopefully watch a really good basketball game.

My point is EC is a better basketball team than Aransas Pass, and run the same style. I expect nothing less than a great game. EC is the better team, I just hope they are tomorrow night, that’s all that matters.

What makes EC the better team?  Based on your observance of Central and Aransas Pass?  I thought you said season results don't count.

This game worries me a bit for the Bucs.  I’m sure Coach Sutherland will have them well prepared.  If they play well and execute the plan, they will win.   But this is definitely a scarier matchup than what they are used to. 

Scares me a lot! This guy acts like I’m saying EC is going to steam roll them.

I agree with your assessment completely. EC should win this game if both teams play well.  This is the one team though in our 3A coverage area that I think matches up the best with Bucs (hence my apprehension).

I said that a long time ago! Two guards that can flat out score at will...don’t like that idea. Reminds me of Troup in 2013.

I lost to Troup in 89, before they lost to Edgewood, who ended up winning state, who has the only win against EC this year. 

7 degrees of the Troup Tigers...

We lost to Troup my freshman year.I was just the JV kid with a warmup top and shorts on the end of the bench. Had an outstanding guard who went off, and hit a buzzer beater to beat us. Will never forget it. Troup lost to White Oak, who went on to win state lol

.  I guess the UIL uses it as a point of reference even though the Pollok area is a few miles North of where Central High School is located.

You cannot control the strength of schedule you end up with but the comparison I tried to make earlier is EC played 20 of their 33 games against teams with .500 records or less, while Central played 11 of their 32  games against teams .500  or less.  It is win or go home Friday night, you only have to beat a team once in this part of the season.

I will never get used to saying Pollock Central. Here at Huntington if Central is on the schedule it’s always just Central.

The reason they say Pollok Central, is because how many high schools in Texas are named Central. I can name 5 off the top of my head. And on this sight ‘Central’ typically refers to the 5A high school in Beaumont.

That is exactly why this site adds "Pollok" (not Pollock, that is a fish) in front of that Central High. Moreover, the mailing address of the Central High is as follows:

7622 US Hwy 69 North, Pollok, TX 75969

Here is the breakdown for EC 15 of the 18 non district games played were against playoff teams. 14 of 18 of them were 4A or higher.

Dilly Dilly to the Speaker who Predicted a 38+ Win over Pollok.  With less than 10 seconds  left in the game, 3 Bucs stood under the bulldog goal with no bulldogs around.  Sutherland would not let them fulfill the prophecy.  Dilly Dilly!

You’re the one who predicted it?? Speaker left

      Here is the facebook post for y'all   I’m not going to put names or schools on this, but feel free to screen shot it to whoever you like. Yes yes, I’m a baseball guy. But I love football more than baseball. My son played all three sports in high school. So I’m not a baseball only guy. But if your high school football coach has your Varsity baseball son doing football drills in pads right now, that is wrong. At one certain school, the baseball team lost their starting third baseman (Gladiator kid) because he dislocated his elbow in a football drill. Two weeks before high school baseball playoffs, and now his season is done. Basically this coaches decision to make Varsity baseball players do football workouts on April 22nd, 5 months before Friday night lights, just sabotaged this kids season, and the teams season. And once again, I’m a huge football supporter, but this is wrong!! This is why kids stop playing football. Coaches preach they want kids playing all the sports, well how about respect baseball season, from Feb to May !  If the shoe was on the other foot, and a kid got injured playing baseball in October and he was a varsity football starter, what would that coach do? Be pissed off! And I would 100% agree with him! There is a reason I don’t have a fall baseball program with football guys. Because I respect football season. All I’m asking is football coaches to respect baseball season. Respect the High School baseball coaches that have worked their ass off to try to get their team in a playoff situation. Support them, don’t Sabotage them by taking their players out because of a “all important April 22nd” football workout. And I don’t want to hear this was bad luck, or any crap like that!!!A lot of these kids are Division One Baseball players, and just good high school football players. If you want to continue to have these kids play football, start doing the right thing. If not, I’m going to try to get those kids quit football and just focus on baseball. And let me say it again, I want all my Gladiator kids playing football!! I go support them watching their football games, and I love it!! But not at the cost of an injury in April playing football, not baseball . Bad miss……Do a better job! Be a better football coach, and remember, it’s not about you, but it’s about the kids who respect you and will do anything you ask them to do. Don’t punish them for being a good baseball or basketball player!!

      Only if you ignore the Constitution. I get the sentiment but I sometimes ponder when others may say, “We always support the Constitution”, “The Constitution has to be followed as the law of the land”, etc.  When in reality they mean, “I LOVE THE CONSTITUTION……. except the parts I don’t like”. There are certainly parts of the Constitution that I would change if I had the option.
