I had actually been told by a former coach that Abseck had declined allowing La Porte to use Eagle Stadium this year. But, I take it as just a rumor. I don’t really know & haven’t heard confirmation one way or the other. Seemed a little over a HC/AD pay grade to decide facility usage. But, I may be wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time.

Late January. Groundbreaking was January 13. Of course, hurricane season will have a lot to do with the schedule as the school complex is less than a tenth of a mile from the bay. That’s also part of the expense. Much tougher building codes—which equals cost. It was sorely needed. Old Bulldog wouldn’t pass inspections any more. Plus, being able to host events should help with some of the maintenance budget costs. I wish they’d have been able to buy out the strip center next to the stadium for parking. But, my understanding is the owners wouldn’t sell at this time.

Construction was slated for 18 months. May/June of 2025 anticipated.

Ha! La Porte Slicers are in Indiana I believe. May want to hold off on the kudos for those graphics.

Yep. Bowed out to the State semi finalist in a game that was closer than the score indicated with a young team that hadn’t been to the PO’s in many years and a second year staff. Y’all had a good draw. If LP would learn to use their big soph TE on intermediate passes this coming year 3 or 4 times a game, it would help keep D’s from stacking the box. Just a little flip over the LB’s, and that next level is wide open.

Y’all said BH had one of your best teams last year. You lost some good talent. Y’all are still 0fer against La Porte, and the Dawgs will be in the 3rd year of the staff with—depending on how they count the starters since LP rotates so much—8 returning on O & 7 on D. Every matchup is different of course. But, BH would stand less of a chance this year than last, and Eagle Stadium isn’t an edge against LP. 😂

I thought we took care of y’all’s field pretty well.

Nothing like jumping the gun! HA I do expect both teams to have a good year. But, stranger things have happened. Don’t mind sitting at a possible match-up if it happens though. Haven’t heard all of LP’s preseason yet. Been looking. Haven’t found. Just PNG posters.

You know what LP returns. Might be the other way around. 😜 I think the PNG game will be interesting.

PAM, Angleton, then who? Who would you put above La Porte & Friendswood?

Actually think La Porte, Friendswood & KP would all make PO’s in District 9 as well. PAM would probably be the other. BH and KP might duke it out for 4th.

Should be some interesting games. Haven’t heard where La Porte will play this year yet. The new construction is coming along. But, the stadium won’t be ready until the 2025 season—my understanding.

It was a solid season. Proud of the young men. To me, need to incorporate just a little more of a passing threat next year where teams can’t stack the box as much. Lancaster literally had all 11 within 5-6 yards of LOS. When LP finally started throwing a little late in the game, you could see Lancaster wasn’t ready for it at all. Even a 75/25 split would help the D’s have to be a little more honest. I can understand this year. Second year of system, first full offseason program, wanting to get basics strong, and only a first time starting Soph at QB. But, next year, would hope to have a little more variety in key spots with the QB having a year of experience under his belt.

Congrats Eagles!
