Memorial’s enrollment hovers around 2,060 students, which is at the top of the 5A spectrum.

First off, if I’ve offended you in any way, I apologize. I like your commentary and picks. I was mostly having fun with you because for the last three years when these picks have come in, I’ve commented on here about us loving to be the underdog and every year that I have, we’ve made the playoffs. Was just trying to keep status quo. The comment regarding the vindicator was because they have done many articles on the Horns and I feel like he’s always done a great job of covering them. Regarding the picks I will be glad to give you mine. I will say the top 4 could easily be swapped in my opinion. I think the winner of the district will have 2 losses, that’s how close I think it will be. But here’s my opinion. 1. Huffman (coaching staff just finds ways to get the most out of their kids, guard play will be their weakness) 2. Livingston (return two solid players along with some size, their downfall will be their lack of coaching) 3. Tarkington (can’t break the norm here, they do return the best player, problem is he lost some help by graduating 4 senior starters.) 4. Hardin Jefferson (nice addition by adding talent through the “portal”, just returners from last year I don’t think will be enough) 5. Hamshire-Fannett (lost some talent and size and head coach. Heard they didn’t play well in spring and summer but honestly don’t know much about them) 6. Shepherd (best big man in the district but not enough shooters and talent around him) 7. Liberty (return a couple young talented players but lost their best two players and some size)

1. Kingwood 2. North Shore 3. Barbers Hill 4. Lufkin 5. Angleton 6. Friendswood 7. Huntsville 8. Lake Creek 9. Montgomery 10. Port Neches-Groves 11. Huffman 12. Hardin-Jefferson 13 Lumberton 14. Livingston 15. West Orange-Stark 16. Silsbee 17. Jasper 18. Fairfield 19. Teague 20. New Waverly 21. Woodville 22. San Augustine 23. Colmesneil 24. Evadale 25. Burkeville

I didn't post any district picks three years ago. Did this year and last year. I have all the respect for Coach Wynn and Tarkington basketball. He has done a tremendous job over there. Look forward to seeing them again this year at some point. But it doesn't mean I need to pick them in my preseason picks. You bring up the Vindicator. They don't give props to several worthy teams in our coverage area. Should I chastise them like you are chastising me and others? We will see how my picks play out. But how about you give me your picks for that district?

The passing TD's to rushing TD's last week against Sterling was 7 to 2. I know it was Sterling but that was impressive

I mean both of you have missed it for three years in a row so I guess so. Maybe it’s just time to give Tarkington basketball a little bit of respect. While you and the rest of area reporters except the Vindicator have been giving other schools their props, you’ve missed that the Horns and Coach Wynn have put 3 nice seasons together and continue to build in house. They don’t get the transfers that your friends over at HJ get. They just keep working hard and getting better. Oh by the way they went 2-0 vs HJ last year and handed them a loss at their house that kept them from going to playoffs for the first time in however many years. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

So TABC is clueless as well, right? But, glad to do my part for the Tark folks.

Love it AAW! Thank you for not picking Tarkington, again!!! Three years in a row we’ve watched you not pick them and three years in a row, we’ve finished third and made the playoffs. Then you picked Shepherd for the surprise team. I guess you aren’t aware that we return the best player in the district.

In bold: I think they unlocked something last week.

Huffman really kept them off balance!

Each district handbook has it's playoff tiebreaker system. Tiebreaker systems vary from district to district. No universal system. I only get it passed on to me when I ask coaches for it. It's not available to the public that I am aware of.

Personally, too many good teams to go through to be looking that far ahead. Also, IMO, PA Memorial needs to get their pass game going before I can consider them state champ contender.

How does the general public know how a district handles tiebreakers? Is that info published somewhere? I’m sure UIL has it for each district.

Last week before playoffs begin. Several games with seasons on the line. Where will you be this week? My Week 11 schedule: Thursday Beaumont United at Baytown Sterling or (pregame meal at Floyd's Seafood) Garrison at Joaquin (pregame meal at Big Zach's Place) Friday Barbers Hill at Beaumont West Brook or (pregame meal at Twin Peaks) Woodville at Kountze or (pregame meal at Mama Jack's) Colmesneil at West Hardin (pregame meal at Mama Jack's) Saturday Southeastern Louisiana at Lamar (pregame meal at tailgate)

There are so many quality teams in D1. Upsets are going to happen. R2 & R3 are going to be brutal to win. Then you have the defending champ in SV. Plenty to worry about before Arlington.

Let’s just focus on week 1 that’s it that’s all for now folks

Titans have to get through La Porte and/or Angleton.

What if you couldn't find a job? Just 1 month?

We're at 2021 enrollment, but I understand what you're saying though. 👍🏾

It’s not that controversial to want to diagnose a problem. Are you happy with how things are going this season?

On paper BU should win. I'm taking Sterling.

Very tough… hoping the same. I really hope to see a big rowdy crowd this coming Saturday…. Huge game gotta take care of business

Standard Couch Coaches comments. Move your kid if you don’t like what is taking place. Simple solution to your problem

gimme BU. They been playing with heart since the WB game. They gave Lufkin a run for their money.

Dealt with SV in the first two year of being open.
