27 apears good 99 have not heard. Anything yet.

Crockett barely beat New Waverly early season though as you said they are getting better. So it will be interesting to see how that plays out. I’d argue with you about them being a problem. But I tried that early in the year on Orangefield beating Hardin so I’ll swallow my pride and say your right. lol

No excuses

Crockett will pose a problem for everyone. Running the exact same offense as Hardin and Shepherd and getting better every week.

How are the two players, I think their numbers are 99 and 27? I hope all is good! @prepballfan

This one is hard to guess. I'm pulling for the Bulldogs but they may have their hands full, again. Hopefully they'll have all the starters back on the field.

Prayers for his family and friends. That's a sad deal. Another tragedy, and we've had plenty in 2025.

I’m pretty sure that the 1 playoff win is correct.

If i could ld loan it to ya. I think you will be able to run right through them. Even in run d we could run. If you can pass they are not good at pass defense. They do have a rb that is like Scataboo not fast but very hard to take down. I think you will be able to outscore them. They are not the same team as the last three seasons.

Yep. By far their best player on that side of the ball. As great a RB for that offense is #10, he is much more important on the defensive side of the ball. Pretty difficult to play RB on a 99% run offense then turn around and play middle linebacker on defense.

Excellent point. I didnt think about it like that. He's the head of that Defense too, right ?

This is correct. My thought is that the third place team from District 12 is better than the 2nd place team from district 11. I really only know anything about Franklin and Troy in district 11 and they havent started district play yet so i may change my mind. Last year Yoakum beat Troy pretty easily in the second round.

Seems like Wallisville Rd has hit another gear. Should be another donkey stompin.....

Is that Comey? It should be in the hate Trump thread.

But no where near as important on the defensive side as #10.

Why hello there! It's that time of year again (Bandtober) and the return of the annual UIL Region 10 Marching Band Contest! The contest will be held Saturday October 18, 2025 at Port Neches-Groves HS Stadium. The schedule shows 30 bands competing to earn that coveted Division 1 rating and the chance to move on to area competition and hopefully state competition. Admission has gone up to $7 according to the official UIL Region 10 website ([Hidden Content]). Admission is free for children 10 and under. I do plan to attend and record all the bands. If y'all want, come say hi to me as I battle the weather elements and try to get the best video/audio recordings of our local high school bands. Once I get back home, I will start to edit the video and audio, then post onto my YouTube Channel. If the weather stays like it has been throughout September and October so far, it will be an sunny day with highs reaching the upper 80s with a bit of a breeze throughout. I still have to apply the sunscreen, bust out the big umbrella, and keep well-hydrated. A reminder that ALL classifications will have the opportunity to advance past region to area/state competition. Keep in mind that we have separate open class (contemporary-style) and military class tracks for state marching band contest. Some of my thoughts: - One school missing from last year (2024) returning to the contest includes Warren. - West Hardin returns to contest after DNA'ing last year. - Lamar University does not appear to be performing for exhibition as they have done the last number of years. - Currently we have 3-2A, 9-3A, 12-4A, 6-5A bands participating. Best wishes to all participating bands as they finish learning their music/drill and polishing up their shows in the next week.

[Hidden Content] fixed it.

The Huffman game was a disaster from the start. It's the first time I've been able to watch them in person this year and my God were they unprepared. Lumberton played a good defensive game but Huffman made it easy on them by running the ball up the middle 45 consecutive plays for 1 yard each time. Huffman's QB who is dynamic had ONE designed run the whole game. Had they come out passing and stayed with it they could have scored 40 points easy. It would not have mattered with the defense they put on the field though. They will probably beat Vidor 71-70 but they better treat the following week against HJ as a playoff game and play the best 11 kids on defense or they could go from the favorites to win the district to missing the playoffs. As for the other games BC will beat HJ handily. Lumberton will beat Liberty as bad as they want to. LCM should beat Livingston pretty comfortable. Bridge City is clearly the best team in the district with 2-5 being up for grabs. Finishing third or 4th in this district will not be a pleasant experience.

1. Baytown Sterling 2. Beaumont United 3. Barbers Hill 4. Angleton 5. Crosby 6. Dayton 7. Huntsville 8. Nederland 9. Bridge City 10. LC-M 11. Lumberton 12. Huffman 13. Hamshire-Fannett 14. West Orange Stark 15. Shepherd 16. Hardin 17. East Chambers 18. Orangefield 19. Fairfield 20. Anderson-Shiro 21. Woodville 22. Kountze 23. Joaquin 24. Garrison 25. Chester

I am not sure if this is correct or not? This is what I found on the UIL website. This ofcourse all hinges on if Hardin does win district 10-3A

Hardin should not struggle with Teague or Crocket which will probably take the forth position in District 9. Second round being Columbus, Yoakum, or Hitchcock who all have pretty good strength on the DL, should be more of a game. But Hardin hasn't really had to show if they have anything else in their play book because what they are doing has been unstoppable by any team they have faced so far. They have my full support once district is over but as of now I still need them to lose to Buna and Kirbyville. LOL

I am not sure how to justify saying Hardin has a ceiling of 3rd round, if indeed the 3rd round game is against an opponent (Pal Westwood) that they were 3 minutes away from beating last year. So, it sounds to me like they have a ceiling of Reg Finals vs Franklin who I think we'd all agree, is the heavy favorite to win Region III and probably the state title. The interesting thing to me is, according to another post on a separate thread, I read where Hardin has only won ONE playoff game in school history. If that's true, this appears to be a season of firsts for that community. My wife taught there many years ago and I got to meet a lot of great people. I just wasn't able to drink the Hardin koolaid earlier in the season, with the history that says otherwise. I can honestly say now, I believe in the hype.
