I am not disputing that EC has had more athletic transfers than Hardin. But you were very specific with your numbers, including the year. I was just curious how you came up with those specific numbers. You can't post something like that and it be implied fact. That's against forum rules. Could have just simply stated EC has had more athletic transfers than Hardin. At least, ones that are publicized. EC has had their share and some of the transfers they have received were pretty significant but EC doesn't get the boat load like some on here think.

No source. Just common sense. Nobody knows the entire region better than you and you would find it very difficult to name 3 tranfers Hardin received in the last 40 years. However, it seems like we are talking about 1/2 transfers a year for Winnie and that's going back as far as I can recall.

Please provide the source of these numbers. Interested to see.

Sure. Kids from Dayton are constantly transferring to Hardin. Number of athletic transfers received by EC since 1985 - 100 Number of athletic transfers received by Hardin since 1985 - 6

Sadly that is likely not the case. Cleveland, for starters, would likely finish out of a playoff spot in a majority of 3A districts. Also, the lower performers in Fort Bend. They were absolutely dominated in games against EL Campo and Livingston in non-district both of whom were not remotely close to the top tier of 4A who we know the better 3A would compete well against. There are some horrible inner city 6A teams. Some suit up less than 30 on varsity squads despite the school attendance numbers. These schools are reference are not the norm, but they do exist.

My brain turned to mush just trying to follow along. Somebody said... "i can explain it to you, but i cant understand it for u." Overstand me?

This district has gone through quite a change with only 3 members returning and has a westerly shift as I predicted but I never thought that Victoria East would be included. It is no longer in the SETX coverage area, but should be of interest to 5AD1 fans in Region 3 because of playoff implications. When you talk about this district, you have to talk about what I would call the Big 3, those that will probably occupy the top 3 spots, Angleton, Richmond Randle, and Iowa Colony. One thing they all have in common is they will all be starting a new QB because their QB of 2-3 years graduated or transferred. I will not try to rank them because of bias and I don't know how much effect the QB change will have. Angleton will have 6 D1 commits on the team this year, OLs Noah Smith and Noah Ernst, RBs Wyatt Neyland and Jayden Moore, safety Landon Miles, and CB/KR Kasen Jammer. Smith is a move-in from Iowa Colony. They will not have any DL returning starters but again a transfer comes to the rescue. Vance Smyth, a Sweeny transfer, where he started 2 years at both TE and DE will start at DT for Angleton. Angleton will be helped by the fact that their JV and Freshmen teams in '25 both finished 10-0. Trey Gardner is the new QB. He would have been the QB last year when Duron went down, but he was injured and lost for the year about the 3rd game. His father is the team's DC and a former NFL linebacker. He has been on varsity since his sophomore year waiting behind Duron. Their only returning starter at WR would have been Wesley Jackson, but he transferred to Carthage, the state champs. Good luck to him. If the scrimmage I watched is any indication, they do not intend to abandon the pass. Angleton will be the road team in games against the other two contenders. Iowa Colony will have some holes to fill. Not only did Smith leave for Angleton, but their QB of the last 3 years, Oklahoma State commit Carson White transferred to Ft. Bend Hightower where his dad is the new OC. Besides that, 2 3-star rated players (S, OL) and a 4-star WR graduated. They still have a 4-star rated safety, Kalen Simmons. Iowa Colony will be the home team in games against the other two. Randle was the state runner-up last year and will again return 5-star RB Landen Williams-Callis, who had about 3500 yds rushing and is committed to UT. However their QB of the last 3 years, Tyler Skrabanek who had almost as many yds passing as Williams-Callis did rushing graduated and will have to be replaced. The 4th place seems to me to most likely to go to Friendswood. They are more experienced this year and their tall QB returns. They were 4th last year and almost beat Dist. 12 champ Anderson on the road. Of the other 5, Katy Freeman is somewhat a mystery. For the 1st time they will have a senior class and the 1st time they will participate in a UIL district. Their 2 losses last year were to 3A teams, including 46-0 loss to Hitchcock who had a good year. Victoria East hasn't had a good year since 2023 and Dulles doesn't appear to be any better than the FB team they replaced Kempner. The last two places will probably go to Pasadena and South Houston.

It doesn’t matter what money goes through Winnie lol. If we’re talking about athletics then Hardin has the advantage by having Liberty,Dayton, HD, and Devers around them if kids want to go Hardin instead of their area school

It's week #1, wing-it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

If Winnie is a "small country" town than what is Hardin? There's millions of more dollars industry wise funneled through Winnie than other "small country towns" in the area.

I haven't made my pick yet. 😉

I noticed Kelly is favored against Deweyville at nearly a 4-1 ratio. Why is it so tilted to Kelly? All thoughts and opinions welcome

I totally agree.

I’m blaming the hornets demise on the 4 Horsemen making their way to HD! Too soon?

I’m glad your sure of that.

It will be alright little buddy. You are starting to ramble like Biden.

Can’t even come up with your own saying. You were trolling with your meme, or was that figurative?

For someone that doesn’t like to be what you call trolled you sure do interject yourself into my post. Once a cult member always a cult member who never likes to defend or have answers for Trump’s idiocy.

I remember when Hemphill was good back in the day........ .........what happened?

Belt starts getting applied to PNG tomorrow with the 9th/JV hopefully 😈 GO TITANS!

You took me to my word? I know you’re a pretty sharp guy but here. Figuratively speaking means using words in a non-literal way to create a vivid image or make a point—like saying I’m so hungry I could eat a horse when you just want a big meal. It’s the opposite of literally.

Your whole stance on Trump is crawfishing and excuses. Here I copy and pasted for you. Figuratively speaking means using words in a non-literal way to create a vivid image or make a point—like saying I’m so hungry I could eat a horse when you just want a big meal. It’s the opposite of literally.

It’s quite in the creek 🤫

To whomever deleted the Dolly meme, thank you.
