I'll go ahead and take a wild guess at the PO teams. Of course, this WHAG is based on minimal to no major injuries for any team. La Porte - The Dawgs return a ton of offensive firepower. Wells (QB) has the possibility of being the first, true dual threat QB LP has had since Austin Upshaw 2013-2017 (3 star, SMU, switched to WR & currently plays for the San Antonio Gunslingers). We'll see how LP decides to scheme the offense to take advantage of his skills. Pair him with the run game, and a solid kicking game, and LP will be tough to stop. Weakness: D youth. While athletic, I see this as--strangely for La Porte--the weaker part of the team. PAM - Always athletic, and still return a solid core on D. QB status may be a question mark. But, the run game should be solid, and they always have speedy WR's. Will need to replace their outstanding kicker. If they returned a little more on O, I'd have them above La Porte because of the D. The two teams have opposite strengths this year, and the rivalry game is back on after a 2 year hiatus. Outside of the Border Battle, this is the top rivalry game for La Porte. Always a fun game. Last time they met in 2023, PAM won the battle, but La Porte won the war and the District Championship. GCM - I'm gonna' have to go with a surprise here. This is my WOWZER pick for the district. Just too much returning experience to not take notice. If they can find a decent run game to go along with their returning QB, They can easily be in the PO picture. Lufkin - I've always been an Abseck fan, and I like the returning D of Lufkin. Offense will be an issue. But, playing the last year at Abe should give them some added incentive. They have a favorable schedule for home field advantage against teams who are predicted by different people to be PO contenders. The game with GCM in Baytown may be a key game. I see 1 & 2 as slight favorites over the rest of the district. I give La Porte the edge because PAM has to come to Bulldog. GCM and Lufkin can be interchangeable. But, with the experience of GCM, and playing Lufkin at home, I give them the edge. Really, these two spots could be up for grabs for multiple teams. I have a really hard time not seeing BWB in the top 4. But, I think they'll fall just short. I think--while they have excellent QB play--they just don't have quite enough to go with him on O, and the D will be replacing a lot. New Caney is a total wildcard to me. They could upset the whole enchilada. I initially was going to go with the teams with returning QB experience. But, PAM & Lufkin's defenses should play a very big part early. I'm going with that strength over the--strictly--QB experience factor because of that. I think we will be discussing tiebreak procedures for PO spots for this district, and I have a hard time seeing anyone going undefeated in district play. Anyway...as I said, just my early WHAG with a wildcard.

Get well soon. PNG student media (NDN Press) typically live streams their scrimmages on youtube, if you can find it.

It wouldn't be for me, not now, nor when I was 15. But, I throw no stones. Some kids do what they need to do. I don't know anything about the young man being discussed in this thread, but I wish him all the best.

They’re bringing back the Crush Groove.

Well, that’s not good. Rest up. You’re on the clock.

Well unfortunately I will not be attending any scrimmages this week. Tested positive for Covid. Hope there are some live streams available. Only one I saw of a coverage area team is Alto at San Augustine Thursday night.

Astros about to go on a 5 game win streak.

Astros lose 3-1. Pretty obvious what lost the game tonight. Houston pitching gave up 3 runs which is 1.5 runs less than their team ERA coming into this game. Houston scored just 1 run on 3 hits. The one run is 3.5 runs under their season average. Offense lost this one tonight. Pitching did fine. Houston leads Arlington by 1 game.

Alvarez…..the outfielder who can hit……talk about damning him with faint praise! Alvarez is the best player in MLB. Wow, what a fan!!!!

This is the difference between a positive and a negative attitude……glass half full…..

What about the couple of series before? What IF they play like that? Houston is 16-8 in their last 24 games. 3-3 in the last two series. Currently, the Rangers are tied with the Twins and the Blue Jays for the final playoff spot. Astros have a 2 game lead on all three. IF the Astros continue to play like they have since the All Star break, they will win the division by 5+ games. Two can play this "if" game.

It is essentially a boarding school. So residence halls (dorms) do exist.

This is accurate even for College students. As a professor I have had 18-20 year olds break down in my office about being away from home because they didn't want their coaches or teammates to see it they come to me. 89Falcon is right on this one.

Not sure but I think IMG Academy has dormitories for their athletes. It's definitely not for everyone.

I question whether management wants to win. They start Javier who has probably a 75% chance of losing, then they bring King in who probably has an 80% chance of losing and Brown can’t throw 2 strikes in a row. Just an extremely weak pitching staff. Offensively Alvarez is the outfielder that can hit If they continue to play like the past couple of series, knowing the only team going to the playoffs in their division will be the winner, they will probably be sitting at the house again

I know @Matthew328 is high on them.. but I’m calling it now… Yates doesn’t make the third round. You can hold me accountable if it happens 🤣

Dont think we have one here at WOS neither

They may just not have the numbers for a freshman team.. which isn’t common for a 4A but does happen. I just know of the one freshman girl that’s extremely talented that starts on varsity. She will play D1 when she graduates

I will be at the Deweyville/Hardin scrimmage and will provide updates here.

They didnt have to establish residency??? Just sent him off to live in a hotel at 15. What could go wrong. This kid will do great in Austin

Brady. Any game I ever watched with Brady playing, I always said don’t have a small lead and give him the ball with 1:30 left and 1 timeout.

If that fails, which it shouldn’t, this is another option…. [Hidden Content]
