The Hill proved to be about that life!! Congratulations on moving on. The only team that talked the talk and still walking the walk

I got to talk to some Brenham fans after the game. They might be the nicest people in Texas. I wish we played them every year.

Was at the game in the rain last night. Silsbee wins that game by a big margin on a dry track. Sealy’s offense isn’t going to break any speed limits or put up a bunch of points on a good team. I was surprised by the trouble Silsbee had coming out of halftime with the additional tackle on the line by Sealy for a while. The refs did a pretty good job of trying to keep the kids in check. Lots of warnings before starting to throw flags. Then offsetting penalties, and then finally catching the blatant stuff. Sadly, neither team put on a great display of sportsmanship. Sealy has a few hot heads that will get involved in the trash and has largely played undisciplined all year under this new head coach. But besides LaMarque, Silsbee certainly did the most trash talk, standing over players after the hit and talking, and getting into players’ faces that I have seen this season. It was very close to a fight when 3 Silsbee defenders went into the Sealy sideline at the end of a play with a late hit called in the 4th quarter. I have always told my son to let your play speak for itself. My point in saying that is Silsbee is a good enough team to go far in these playoffs but as others have said, that type of extra stuff could cost them in a tight game. Good luck to Silsbee moving forward and hopefully the players injured last night are able to go next week

We can make excuses for them all day long but at the end of the day they are just as bad as every other team about late hits and trash talk. Obviously Silsbee is a greatly coached team but clearly the coaches don’t enforce any type of discipline. That has shown all season. and you were 100% right about the refs having to control the game. I think that’s why it got so bad towards the later part of the game. In the first half the refs weren’t calling anything and it eventually started to partially blow up.

Trash talk is bad enough and one thing but late hits that you will never know it it is intentional to really hurt someone or a frustration late hit is totally different it’s really hard to hold your emotions back if it happens once keep playing harder if it keeps happening the refs need to really control things much better discipline is a major part of trying to win a championship it’s almost like you are being bullied and can’t do anything about it but regardless it seems to follow Silsbee and really gives them a bad Reputation Basketball too their should have been a lot more penalty flags thrown and maybe someone getting tossed out of the game that will get a lot of things under control quick and hopefully teach these teams a lesson.

Silsbee does talk alot and they fall for the okie doke every time when other teams start to talk as well. The best trash talk is the scoreboard! Play hard and play smart!! On to the next round Tigers.

IMO, some Silsbee players talk too much. But, from what I have seen the last few games it seems it's part of the other teams game plan to get Silsbee to talk too much. Bottom line, Silsbee is good enough to let their play talk for itself and this other stuff is completely unnecessary. I get having your teammates back but do it smartly. The rep has been established and the opponent will try to exploit it to their advantage.

speaking of Athens, the stadium they play their home games, is one my favorites! talk about feeling like your on the field during the game. if ys ever been there you know what I mean. Having said all that, wish you Raiders the best of luck in the post season.

Oh, here we go with the QB talk.

Rumor has it that the freshman, that was center of lots of talk earlier this year, is released to play for first time. I don’t know his position or who but I remember the talk. maybe he will be a difference Go Dogs, No injuries !!

I don't have a 4A dog in this hunt, but I do not support banning opt ups at all. Think statewide, what if El Paso had five 6A teams, and one more 5A team. It would make a ton of common sense to opt up that one 5A to fill out their district. There could be / would be collateral damage with a statewide opt up ban. Maybe Stepp just posted that to start up talk and get clicks. I dunno.

Here's my thing: what does HJ lose here besides a little gas money? The FOURTH worst team in this district is WOS, who, for all the talk of being dead and gone, lost by 4 to newton, OT to HF, OT to PNG, and by 3 to Jasper. They're a coaching change away from being a top-10 4A-D2 school again next year. Football is the only sport with divisions, so it doesn't mess anything up for the other sports. I don't really see any disadvantage to doing this, although I also don't really see a whole ton of upside, other than maybe picking up an extra win or two, and not getting blown out quite as bad every game.

So you're saying Little Sister Mauriceville is the MECCA? Talk about low expectations...

If you look at our schedule… our closest game was a 31-3 win over Navasota who yes finished the year 4-6 and missed the playoffs but also beat 4A D1 #9 Bay City 30-26. That game Bellville struggled on offense in the first half and was only up 3-0 at halftime. Then went on to out score Navasota 28-3 in the second half. Probably doesn’t mean much but Bellville beat them worse than 4A D1 #4 Iowa Colony (37-21) as well… We can argue regular season schedules and strength of schedule all we want which is fine it’s good cooler talk but at the end of the day tomorrow night is what matters. I think it’s two good teams regardless of records and I think Bellville wins by a couple scores in a close one. Silsbee, HF, and Jasper didn’t blow out WOS and neither will we.

That’s not the right answer. The right answer is you don’t know who “they” are, so you couldn’t know what their reason is and whether or not it’s a good reason. To quote @Majestyk, you talk like a man with a wooden neck.

Still lot's of talk about how it's a joke that Faith Family is allowed to play UIL 4A basketball. Well, here is the geographical boundries for this academy: Avalon ISD Cedar Hill ISD Dallas ISD DeSoto ISD Duncanville ISD Ennis ISD Ferris ISD Grand Prairie ISD Italy ISD Lancaster ISD Maypearl ISD Midlothian ISD Milford ISD Palmer ISD Red Oak ISD Waxahachie ISD Any student attending these school districts are eligible to attend Faith Family Academy. Thoughts?

That Highschool cannot hold 3800 students so the two High School talk is going to restart again. Even with the planned expansion that building is no where near big enough to hold that population. Ten year projections have been waaaay off before but perhaps this is our last alignment pre-6A we will see. When we get put in that Humble/King/NS district we are going to quickly become irrelevant in football unless there is some fantastic program building.

I agree, I just wish they would have utilize him and other players in the right way. I wish them the best in playoffs. Meanwhile you stay on your side of the track and no more talk of wearing purple 🤣

21 years of existence and ppl are STILL saying it's coaching. Coaches coach throughout the week but they STILL get the blame. How about we talk about what's really going on. Parents condoning foolishness, so called fans bashing kids and coaching staffs. I'll say this it starts at HOME! KEEP on telling little Timmy that his Coaches are wrong and little Timmy won't ever realize his faults. Just finished watching film with my little Timmy and pointed out his faults. Did he like it? HECK NO, but he heard what was said. Not once will I blame coaching, PUBLICLY or BEHIND my keyboard because the COACHES AREN'T BLOCKING AND TACKLING!

Well idk about pulling of the strings stuff, but the juniors are a close knit group so I think they'll all come back. Hubert Thomas is the only one that I think could possibly leave because of the weak O-line. Was talk of him leaving last year, by the way this season is going to end I wonder if Barrow will keep his job or be forced to resign!? Because by the way things are looking this playoff game is going to be rough!! Goodluck to em though

Dang talk about fair weather fans lol. PAM side looking a HISD game… I’m stuck in this toxic relationship with this football team lol

Since this district meets the local district in the first round I wanted to start a thread that I can update scores for this district and kinda talk about where it’s looking like things will end up come playoff time… I know it’s early but barring anything crazy I’ve got a good idea of where this district should finish. Before the season I thought it was Bellville’s district to lose…I was worried about the offensive line losing all but one starter. Currently Bellville starts 4 sophomores and 1 junior on the offensive line but still has good size up front. Even though it’s just been La Grange and Stafford the young line has impressed me. I thought Royal was over rated regardless of what returned last year and so far I’ve seen nothing to prove me otherwise. Sealy was entering the year losing their new starting QB to another school BUT he ended up coming back right before school started and he will make a huge difference for them. Bellville should still beat Sealy for the top spot but we will see. The Sealy QB is only a sophomore but I think he will be special over the next couple years. Heading into week 3 here are my top 4 Bellville Sealy Brookshire Royal Columbia/Sweeny

I don’t know much about Kennedy - other than seeing him on Rogan’s podcast. As far as Cruz and Desantis - I still think they are decent, principled people. I would vote for either of them over Biden or Harris. I don’t have much love for any politician on either side. They talk (TALK) a great game, get you divided and thinking the “other” side is bad and just keep cashing checks from insider trading and special interest groups. They go all Oprah at Christmas-time, “Orangutan studies in Indonesia gets a billion, Ukraine gets a trillion, mosquito-wing gender studies in Columbia gets a million.” Geesh, on and on it goes. Keep ‘em separated….. black vs white, conservative vs progressive, electric vs oil, north vs south, urban vs rural, society vs cops, straight vs non, abortion vs pro-life, free-speech vs govt control, 2A vs govt control and most importantly keep diminishing the family and “attempting” to discredit and wedge Christian beliefs. Slowly but surely bring socialism and communism into play without firing a shot.

I know it. PA has the same so I can't talk like I want.

We don’t talk anymore. I honestly don’t even know if he gets on here anymore.
