I dont think its a talent issue i think the issues are Effort and Leadership.

Black, white, Hispanics all use the "N "word TOO loosely, its disrespectful and doesn't matter what context its used it. It irritates me to hear it coming from anybody anywhere.

121 yds rushing vs West Virginia [Hidden Content]

Shepherd has been playing pretty well on defense, but they can't score on anybody. They haven't played a strong opponent yet, so I think Jasper makes short work of them. I'll say Bulldogs 45, Pirates 7.

I cannot even describe how proud this makes me! My daughter set a goal when we moved to Port Neches in the 7th grade to be a part of the first team to hang a banner up in the gym and she also had set a personal goal to be able to continue to play basketball after high school. She can now put a check mark next to both of those goals! Now go win a District Championship!

I wonder if we'll get to see this well publicised 'physical Speed'?

Unless PNG and Ned are leading the district everyone wants to call it weak. Last year we were only better because PNG had boy wonder:) BH I hope can get over the hump and beat PNG, but for this week we must stay focused on a pretty good Gander squad

I noticed a change on the oline this past week... didn’t pay close attention to it but it was on the side that has really been struggling this year... IMO there’s not much effort from some... oline is usually not something I worry about much, as they are always coached up so well and are steady getting better. Not this year. Dline struggles 2...

Jasper wins this game easily

Nederland hasn’t tried to do it yet so might as well, they need a spark in a bad way, unless they are saving it for later in district. But at this point if we lose on Friday, time to get the younger generation of bulldogs going.

Negative,maybe by his senior yr,but not now!!!!These players are more worried about themselves and not the team,and believe me I know,their at my house all the time!!I stay on em but does no good!!!!

In your first sentence you say the Deer Park loss to LaPorte crushes WB hopes of going D2 again but in your 2nd sentence, you say Channelview will battle for the 4th spot. If Channelview gets in WB goes D2. Channelview getting in last year is the reason why WB went D2.

Well, they weren’t going to win anyway.

In everyone’s opinion! Let hate week begin!!

Please let Correa go and keep Cole!

Following SETX football, one could not help but to recognize the similarities between the two Pirate football teams here. Vidor and Deweyville. What do these two programs have in common? Obviously, they share the Pirate mascot. Both Pirates seem to always be the underdogs, no matter the opponent. Both Pirates are considered small in their respective districts. Pirates generally give up size, speed and talent to their opponents. Pirates have no quit. Pirates play with all heart. Pirates have no fear. Pirates are tough and resilient. Pirates are bought-in to their programs and have a deep-seated loyalty to each other and their Coaches. If Coach Matthews or Coach Prouse asked their young men to attack a nuclear submarine, all you'd hear was the splash of the warriors hitting the water. Obviously we're not getting sized for our State Championship rings but if you appreciate a hard working, hard hitting, never give up, gut-it-out type of football team...y'all are always welcome, we'll save you a seat. It's a great day to be a Pirate.

The majority of the NFL and NBA are from 'can't go back' situations That's why, as a country, we will never be competitive in soccer.......

11. You will get towed if you park in a no parking zone! Lol! Our parking sucks but so do a lot schools in our district. 😁 I like our announcer. I find his candor refreshing in a day and age where you have to be politically correct about everything so you don’t offend anyone.😁

I queried Logan Lawrence, the new UIL Commications Director at the UIL and here is what he told me. "Todd, The District 12-5A Division II Executive Committee met again and decided that it was not a move for athletic purposes. The case now goes through a wavier process that the student-athlete must apply for. Thank you, Logan Lawrence UIL Communications"

Hope the kids all get healthy, I know that Evadale's numbers are down this year so anybody getting dinged up is going to hurt them bad

I'm with you, Jasper by 2 or 3 TD's

You said it much better though

I don’t know that we are weaker than previous seasons. I think people are equating mainstays like Nederland and Crosby being down with the district overall being down. Just because Vidor is better than Crosby or just because Nederland is not as good as BH isn’t sufficient to say the district is down — Maybe Vidor and BH are just good this year? All that aside, and to answer your question, the district is a middle of the road district most of the time. If Crosby, PNG, Nederland, and Dayton were all at strength, it would certainly be one of the most competitive in the state. But even then, we’d still be merely above average, not up there with the big dogs. But there are only ever a few big dogs. The truth that gets lost in the quest for a championship is that most teams in the state are terrible. So even though our district reps will be knocked out usually in the 2nd to 3rd round by teams that totally outclass us, that’s because the top is a crowded place. We talk down on our local teams too much. And I know people will say i’m celebrating mediocrity - i’m not. I’m acknowledging the success we have in the quest to overcome mediocrity. There’s a difference, for sure. State is the goal, but the journey is part of it.

That’s ashamed you have to say that. Coaches cheating on high school level. SMH.

I mean someone has to damn cheating injuns.

Lol, you’re correct, thus my use of the word “might”. Many have stated on here that the Dist is very weak. I doubt we match up with some very strong Districts, but do you think it’s any weaker than in the past? Obviously Crosby & Santa Fe (and Ned?) are, but Lee is better, and IMO, Vidor is better than most expected.

Why do you think this is?

Agreed... fire sale time.

No Sonnier on this team,past dogs had heart,this years team lacks that!!!!

Congratulations to your daughter and the best of luck to the PN-G girls basketball program this year.

It's a football game not a track meet, so I think the raiders will be fine. We have enough speed to play with anyone in our district, as long as the players execute the way they have been coached. If our offense can keep from getting behind the chains with penalties, the Raiders should win in a close game.

I hear you Dj, let's just hope we will have no weather situations going on or injuries.

They are well coached! I went to school with one of the defensive coaches, great guy!

Not enough, apparently!

I'm thinking it has something to do with the State Fair. Been this way as long as I can recall.....

That’s me. And we held a Silsbee team in check running wise for pretty much the whole game, a Silsbee team with arguably one of the better overall backfields in 4A. Lots of talent. But you’re right, pass defense never has been the best and Huffman will be a good test... so we’ll see

Question everything is like the truth is out there. I can entertain natural causes and keep all possibilities open. I am not too narrow minded to blindly follow whack jobs. Like people who believe the earth is flat. Just want people to be aware that there may be other factors that haven't been considered. I believe everyone has the right to form their own opinion based on all the information available. Not just what the Gov't and MSM tells you.

OU is undefeated and still sucks. Only reason Texas doesn't float off in the GOM. Time is a non-renewable resource This ain't last year This ain't last month

And I am sure he will have many opportunities proposed to him if he elects to reconsider his Lamar commitment.

I hope so. He's been so much more consistent than Ingram.

Congrats to Shug, making a strong statement, think he should be getting more looks, I think he might have opened some eyes this week!!

Kountze wouldn't beat them in basketball either. Not lately.

Yea, time to fix some issues and move on. We needed that kind of game to expose some things that were not exposed in the first 4 games. Better to get them addressed now so we can have a chance of winning 4 out of the next 5 games. A loss to WB doesn't change my confidence in this group of coaches to get these kids refocused on the task at hand. My preseason prediction of 8-2 overall and 5-2 in district is still in play...

Fly Falcons Fly. Go Huffman.

I’m worried about this game a little bit. Long drive. Sante fe is supposed to be an easy win (I know I’m not suppose to say that lol) and we just had a hard fought let down with png. I hope we stay focused and continue to roll like we have been but vidor always has a bad habit of playing up or down to who our competition is. But I have faith that we’ll be alright. GO PIRATES!

I would mortgage the farm for Cole. Keep Springer, he would be mvp if not missed a month. Correa has not lived up to the potential and cant seen to stay healthy. With that being said, he looked great last night. I like Reddick, but tucker is cheaper and a better long term investment. Tucker is only 22 and has some growing up to do. That 1 AB last night was horrible.

Because he hates me

Hell yea we’re moving on up from the toilet bowl.

His ties to the area. Kinda amazing how much talent leaves the 409 to the Htown area.

She was elected in an area that is becoming more and more radicalized. This will only increase unless we wake up.
