I had a local coach (whose team has played both of these teams) tell me a couple of weeks ago that this one may be a showdown of the best two teams in SETX. After getting absolutely punched in the mouth, the team comes out after halftime and proceeds to dismantle the Longhorns. If you know a thing about this sport, you know what it is when a team completely flips the script and dominates in the 2H. Almost always coaching. I’ve said this many times, WOS won’t likely have a coach anywhere near Dan Ray or Cornel the rest of our lives and probably ever. It’s insane how lucky they were to have them back to back. And in my book, CT is probably the 1-1 of Southeast Texas football coaches based on what he did as the DC under Hooks and as the HC when he retired. He was hugely responsible for all of their rings. You just aren’t going to get that again. Kalen DeBoers could be the best coach in the game right now and he still wouldn't be Nick Saban. Hickman is a first time HC that you would expect to make mistakes. Maybe a lot of them. But you also hope that he would steadily improve and take advantage of one of the unique football situations in the State. He obviously has. Consistently. It’s fine to appreciate the past and take pride in all that was accomplished. It’s also high time to move and appreciate what you have now, which is still among the elite programs in the state.

Can we change the title to Chambers/Jefferson/Brazoria County all stars vs Buna??? Im rolling with the homegrown coogs in this one. Will have to play mistake free and do what Hardin did as far as holding the ball. Just have to execute in the red zone and finish drives.

Its pretty clear to me Coach Hickman could walk on water and a portion of the WOS fan base would find fault in it... He is not Hooks or CT, nor should he be...he has to be himself and I do feel like he has grown tremendously as a HC the past couple of yrs...great comeback win for WOS

I hate it. All of it That's the post

I do know better. Bet on games all the time. Particularly ones where someone has Galena Park beating Nederland "by as many as they want". That's what we call in the business "fish". But it's very obvious you are trolling and you should know better.

Could go either way, OF has to get better on offense, but give me Homegrown Bobcats 27 Gulf Coast Transfer All Stars 24

The Citadel is a FCS school like Lamar, SFA. McNeese, etc. Many FBS schools play FCS schools. LSU played McNeese this year. A&M will beat them very badly. I'm only going because it's Military Weekend and my daughter, who served in the Army/Reserves for 8 years, wanted to attend with her three boys. Just going for the atmosphere and time with the family. This game is secondary to me but my grandsons are excited about it. Good enough for me.

This was a post by Shipwreckedcrew from X that made some great points. There are a few things that stood out that I bolded, the truck rang a bell..... Republican or Democrat, we can't hold the Government responsible for our own bad decisions. A person buying an 80K truck at 6% interest will pay 98K over the 84 months with a $1168 monthly note, then likely trade it in or get another truck once paid off. Ironic that this same person would probably complain about gas prices, when he could of purchased a 45K truck and put the other 45K in a savings account. Thoughts? The problem is there is nothing "wrong" with the "economy." Economic growth is rising and unemployment is falling. Prices remaining high because of PAST INFLATION isn't an "economy" thing. Home prices being high because of a shortage of affordable inventory for first or second time homebuyers isn't an "economy" thing. Buyers taking out car loans for 84 months at 15% interest rates, and being upside down in their equity for 36-48 months isn't an "economy" thing. Having a large portion of the college educated workforce emerge from academia with worthless degrees that employers place no value in for hiring purposes isn't an "economy" thing. Trump and the GOP are going to pay the price for an "economy" when the problems are not a feature of the "economy." They are a product of choices made by voters in their own lives. Gas prices have been expensive before. Interest rates have been high before. But I've never seen so many $60,000 pickup trucks and $85,000 SUVs being driven down the road ever in my life.

I mean.. I'm not just a huge fan of the foot to foot, ground and pound, eat clock offense either. It's not entertaining. But. As far as small school standards go, Hardin is enormous. What would you recommend they do? I don't have a dog in the fight but after watching them for the 2nd year now, one has to admit that what they do is done very well. I was pleasantly surprised to see them spread it out on their last drive and be able to go the length of the field, although there was no other choice. But. I really wouldn't throw shade with the little league soccer comparison. Newton has more speed than Hardin (and most teams) will see on their schedule, but if a little league comparison is going to be made... it should be to Newton's special teams. 2 lost onside kicks... and zero PATs ? Seriously? Surely there's someone that can kick at least one out of 4 through the uprights after a score. That was the difference in winning and losing.

Nederland went from bye week, to Baytown Lee, Galena park.. if pulled starters from those 2 games early that’s a month without playing a full game…

Congrats to our own Mike Sanchez! Thanks for all the hard work and effort that you provide for this community and for SETXsports.com!

Put me in the camp that doesn't like this. Also put me in the camp of this not making it anywhere on my "give a crap" meter. What I think is rich, is the same side cheering on a leftist for assassinating a health insurance CEO in broad daylight on the streets of NYC, the same side foaming at the mouth because a lone juror didn't let a mother walk for savagely murdering her children, and the same side celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk and the attempted murder of the POTUS on live TV, suddenly has a problem with livestreaming the execution of a POS muslim extremist who murdered 13 US soldiers and injured 32 more. I won't watch, but I will be glad when that POS is sent to the pits of hell. I can only hope they rub the bullets in pigs blood before they shoot him.

This is a program building win. Your two wins away from making the playoffs in one of the best divisions in football in your first year in 6a as the smallest school in 6A. That's pretty darn good.

Former player from last year I asked said he's not liked by the soft ones.

computer rankings and picks should be posted today.....editor still working out the kinks in the new admin panel... most of the bad data on team pages and schedules has been cleaned up at least for UIL 11man since I did it lol....if there's something wrong w/a team page email me and I can fix it [email protected]

Don't think it is right to gamble on high school sports. You should know better than this being a moderator an all.

Odd scheduling as East Texas A&M has played 4 games in conference, 6 teams have played 3, and LU and 2 others have played 2 games. LU (2-0,) and SFA (3-0) are the only 2 unbeaten in conference thus far. LU hosts UIW next week in the battle of red birds. UIW put a scare in SFA tonight and escaped with an overtime victory over HCU 2 weeks ago.

The Dogs are 1-0 in district nuff said. Go Dogs!

BC is once again the worst team in Orange County, & all is right with the world 🤍🧡🤍🧡

About to get on Facebook and post about how PNG scored 50 on West Brook.

Tough decision but shouldn't you want to stick with what's been working? The past 2 games the backup has managed the game pretty well and made some good throws when needed. Making that switch could mess up chemistry that they've built!

The Blue and ............... will win.

49-18 final over Nicholls. Next week, back home against Northwestern State.

Crickets!!!!!!!!

And often times, this point can cloud a critics objective judgement. Been there.

I got a feeling Caveman has first hand knowledge (aka a son currently playing) and attends all games.

The cards definitely hurt you at some point in your life lol. Always a hater!

Idk what happened tonight but I promise you Crawford isn’t worse than Westbrook

WOW, I offer a big time apology to the Bulldogs. After watching the 1st 3 games, I honestly didn’t think they had a chance. What an amazing ball game Bulldogs. Now get ready next week, heal some injuries and get ready for the 1st district game vs Lee

What we all wanna know is Spidersal where you at

Well Vidor there you have it, Someone get this man a Darrell’s special sandwhich, bag of cracklings couple Boudain balls and 200$ free play at the Nugget then you got your announcer

For Reggie 112%

I like PNG's chances of beating Crawford in the playoffs if that happens.

Have you ever played a team who was winless? The banners they hang on the fences still read….”We’re #1” and similar phrases. It’s called being a fan and supporting those kids no matter what. I guess some people don’t understand that.

Why are we bashing the OC? Maybe the team just isn’t as good as the past couple years? Team is smaller and has a lot more moving pieces on the OL…seems like Joseph has created a spoiled fan base when most people were crying when he was hired…

I don’t necessarily want my starters sitting for half of three games in a row before starting a stretch against png, Texas city, and Dayton. Nederland might go as well as 3-0 in that stretch, but just as easily goes 0-3. Can’t afford a slow start just because the last couple weeks were blowouts.

It's funny seeing a few people from fanbases or a fanbase sour when they're not having the season they were hoping for. 😁

For the better part of the last 30+ years, Nederland football has never been about having the most talented athletes on the field. It has been about having the right system, being fundamentally sound, being coached well, and playing for something bigger than yourself. The name on the front of the jersey has always meant more than the name on the back. Nederland has built its tradition on discipline, toughness, preparation, accountability, and eleven guys believing in the guy lined up next to them. You don’t have to have the biggest stars—you have to have a team that plays like a team. Talent can win you a game. Culture, preparation, and playing together can build a program. That’s Nederland football. Nederland lost its identity for a few years. I believe they have found that identity again.

I hate it All of it

I agree. The hypothetical games were fun to think about.

Right. My question for a couple of Buna fans. Was this 35-7 win because EC is the better team or was it because of their one transfer? (I don't count the one who came from PA and the other from Manvel. Both those two started at EC)

You should have tuned in earlier this season. #72 got ALL of the love from the broadcasters. It’s just that all of the other players are shining.

Double play to end it. Astros win 7-5 and remain tied for division lead.

As they say and it's true...coaches don't throw any TD passes or make any tackles or interceptions, or break any long runs...they can do their best to put kids in positions to do those things

Jv reps is better than playing the sidelines on varsity

I suppose it is a big military/security deal. If it indeed cost US nothing, which I don’t believe, Im sure there’s some industry development ties with some of hid preferred people.

You didn’t watch the game. Stop that Lmao

Nederland a fumble away from being 3-1 and it being a lot different tbh…
