I think the amount of money the UIL makes off a bi-district football game is vastly overrated especially with attendance at games VASTLY dropping...a lot of schools lose money on playoff games now because there's not enough gate to even cover stadium rental....4 teams in the playoffs was about evening the size of the brackets out so eventually the UIL could move to the single site state championship model... Coaches also dont want the bye week in the playoffs for the most part...

Keep an eye on 2AD1-12 #4 seed Joaquin

Yes and now that i think about it more. Might have been closer to 50+ game losing streak

I will say this. Nederland needs to start this game with aggression. Not a wait and see game. Play Dog football and attack, attack, attack, Against PN-G they let opportunities go and should have went for the throat. Nederland sometime goes into safe mode. That to me cost them the PN-G game. A good example was right before the half they just let the last 1.5 or so minutes run out instead of going for the score. Almost like they were happy with going into the half with the lead.. PNG has been absolutely brutal in 1 score games under Joseph. nederland had a chance to get away from that but played it safe. Tonight needs to be an all out aggressive game from start to finish. Nederland can pull an upset here but realistically they have to play 4 full quarters use that size to wear down huntsville. Also Montgomery got Huntsville throwing the ball. So Nederland needs to have some good pass plays if the running game is not cooking. Then the defense needs to play down hill all game. nederland has what it takes but it needs to be all there. Gotta have a complete game in all phases.

Because it has happened multiple times doesn't really validate anything. That's like saying making 10 out of 100 free throws validates one a good free throw shooter just because the shooter provided proof of making a free throw. To me it's about the overall numbers and not the outliers when it comes to a valid playoff system. Percentages say 2-3 team playoffs make for less blow outs and much more competitive games overall.

Paid for the food too. I remember seeing that on Facebook.

Amen!!!

Was that the 0-10 team?

Money talks and they wont go back. Ive seen WOS destroy 1 rd teams for years. Once we played Scarborough who hadn't won a game in 4 years. They were going to forfiet but Coach paid their travel and rental fees. Apparently he didnt want a week off. Gotta keep the momentum

Its probably about Money for the UIL. Just a guess

I was about to say the same thing when we had 3 playoff teams the #1 seed got a bye week.

When were the Dawgs called off?

I’m sure after the losses it woke them up especially Coach Sutherland. I don’t think they’ve had this kind of talent since Roberts and Silcox were there so hopefully they come out and play some good football against a good offensive team. I wanted to go watch this one in Willis but I’ll be at the Vidor game. I’ll catch some of it on Texanlive

PNG wins by more than 14, but West Fork isn’t galena park or Baytown lee. This is a real game and we better come ready to play it.

3 is perfect, gives the DC a bye. It rewards you for winning district. Then the 2 & 3 play each other winner gets the 1 seed. Thats a good post season IMO

I'd prefer all districts be at at least six teams and I think the UIL can do it....but 4 teams making it balances the brackets out.....2 is probably perfect but 4 is much better than 3 and we will never go back to 2...so I think are are "stuck" with 4..I'd rather 15-20 deserving 4 seeds make it past Rd 1 and deal with one week of blowouts than those very good 4 seeds be playing basketball..but thats just me lol

I think he is graduating early and heading to Texas Tech for the spring as well?

Joaquin, wasn’t it?

1. Atascocita 2. Summer Creek 3. Houston Madison 4. Montgomery 5. Nederland 6. PNG 7. Lake Creek 8. Stafford 9. Huffman 10. Vidor 11. Athens 12. Canton 13. Silsbee 14. West Orange-Stark 15. Diboll 16. Fairfield 17. Orangefield 18. Hardin 19. New Waverly 20. Mildred 21. Garrison 22. JPaul Pewitt 23. Shelbyville 24. Colmesneil 25. West Sabine

Keeping an eye on this one and might even show up.

Yes he has been out and is out for the season... wont play basketball either.

Multiple times a district has had all 4 teams advance to the 3rd round to play each other again. Didn't a team make it to state as the 4 seed recently?

Thats the UIL for ya

I agree

Not enough travel money for that 🤷🏾‍♂️
