Great way to describe Stafford to me is inconsistent… Some games they seem to put it together and are solid… others they stumble… but regardless they have size and speed.

I'm looking forward to next year when the 4 seed team gets to travel to the 1 seed's home field!

So wasn’t the All World QB for Westwood out injured? If so, I was wondering about that Westwood offense.

There was one 4 seed upset last night as Ozona beat a regional favorite in Post.

I like having four. Yes, it’s watered down. But we sometimes also get really good games, and chances for teams that would otherwise NEVER make the playoffs to get to be part of it. Also, having four teams doesn’t in any way diminish the best high school playoff in the world. It’s just one more week of football, and there are always upsets.

If there are any teams we may face in the playoffs for the second time this season (i.e., FB Crawford or Brenham), I like our chances. It's difficult to beat Coach Joseph twice in one year.

I was gonna say 4 touchdowns. BC isn't very good, and while stafford isn't polished, they have size and speed all over the field.

Different person, but Lutnick should have been gone long ago when the Epstein connection was uncovered. He's also the brains behind some of the private company buy-ins by the government. Apparently, Bessent tried to tell Trump. He didn't listen. Now, we may have national security issues because of Nvidia & Lutnick. smh

why did the oldest Bryant get ejected after that scuffle on the sideline early in the 1st half ? I would not have known who it was, but he had on his letterman and exchanged words with the white hat

The part that I like most about the 4-team system is it gives hope to a team that has a sub-par year, but is awarded a chance to play in the post-season. They get a taste of what its like and for some communities, it's the best thing that's ever happened to them and gives them a hunger for more. Yes, it does kind of fall in line with the everyone gets a trophy mindset, but in some of these cases, we've seen some programs make a huge turn-around recently. But, as the poster mentioned, it seems like the vast majority of the first round games are completely one-sided so I get the argument for sure.

I'm glad there's at least 3 teams this year considering how our district turned out. Missing the playoffs completely because of a 1-point away loss in a game with some really bad officiating would be brutal. It's rough enough we got Athens first round. I definitely get not having a 4th team make it. At the same time, there are some good things that come out of it. Every now and then we'll see a deep run from a 4th seed, and that 4th spot gives a lot of teams a chance to make the playoffs who'd never have a chance otherwise. Most of those teams get blown out several times throughout a normal year anyway, so it's not like it puts much of a damper on their playoff excitement.

Couldn't say it any better. It felt like they re-centered themselves after dropping Orangefield and Anahuac. This team had the talent and coaching to win district and the results were what they were. Give me the Buccaneers in a boat race. Wouldn't be surprised if total score got over 80.

Send North Shore to the Consolation bracket.

The percent taxed is the same. But, higher earners will obviously have more left after said taxes. There are plusses and minuses to all tax structures. But, with a flat tax, those more well off would at least have to pay, instead of using the loopholes available now. Revenue would actually rise which would help some of our welfare programs more than the current system. But, achievement wouldn't be discouraged via taxation. I would also think corruption/cheating would be minimized. Add on top of that the savings by streamlining the need for the IRS, and there's multiple positives. The trick would be finding a rate that wouldn't punish lower income folks. Obviously, if you have a 5% flat tax, and you're only making $50k, it's a lot different than 5% if you're making $150k. But, it's the fairest way to tax IMHO.

We have this same convo every year...Thur Rd 1 is always a bunch of blowouts because all the huge mismatches are played Thur to get it over with...we over-react because its the first day of the playoffs...then Fri happens we get some great games, a few more blowouts and we all forget about it

Just a heads up to those wanting to catch the game. No DCTF or NFHS this week. No Stafford stream (that I could find). Head over to our streaming page to catch the call. Should be a fun one. Go Big Red!

Looks like the D will be getting some young studs coming up through the ranks as well again. I saw where they scored 299 & only gave up 66 to go with that 9-0 record. As far as Northbrook, I enjoyed watching the triple option again. I can see how--if teams are used to the modern, spread offenses of today--the triple option could give them issues. Old school, assignment defense required.

In this case it was a Deer Slaying! Cut some medallions and wrapped em in bacon. Man was it good!🤣

😂 I think this game will be similar to Senior Night last week.

Waltrip gonna have a plan until they get punched in the mouth! Then they gonna get Donkey Stomped.

If they insist on having two divisions. Why not all district champions go into the D1 bracket and play for the state championship. The second and third place team go into D2 bracket and play for a consolation trophy. It would be just like college basketball.

Man I caught up on work during the game lol

About 3/4 of the 1st round games have double digit point spreads. There are more 40+ point spreads than 0-5 point spreads. That’s the 1st round for you.

I liked when I was in high school, only 3 made it and District Champions got a 1st round bye. Made being the District Champion mean something.

Go Pirates!🏴‍☠️
