I don't know. According to the peanut gallery, MH has inside info that will provide them the win. 😉

Word I received is that Bailey will not play against Ennis but is hopeful to play in 3rd round. I have been told the extent of his injuries but that doesn't need to be publicized here. That's for his family and school to announce.

Thank you for your Commitment , Bravery , and Sacrifice for our country!!!! America would not be what it is without you.

Congrats to our regular season winner @One4All Thanks to everyone for playing and making it another fun competition. It's not over yet though. There's still 2 chances for bragging rights with both playoffs and overall season winners to be determined. We'll have to prepare fast and be ready for EARLY LOCK TIMES now that we move into playoff mode. Good luck here and on the field the rest of the way. Safe travels my friends.

Don’t know him but have heard this from multiple sources I know and trust. Now stop trying to lend sanity and reason to this otherwise trainwreck of a thread. P.S. to mods - can we lift Cardinal Backer’s suspension for this thread only? I feel like he was made for this thread.

Port Arthur. I like our chances advancing this year

UMMM...not really because the UIL put: West Orange, Silsbee, Hamshire-Fannett, Jasper, Shepherd, and Tarkington in front of you and you opted up. Sorry, just the truth.

no probably to it, and the tigers absolutely deserved that hardware. It's one thing to run into a team that's better than you, another thing entirely to be a town of less than 7,000 people and run into an AAU team recruiting from 13 districts and millions of people.

Timberwolves 27 Marlins 19 Final...

Grateful for all who served and continue to serve. We honor you today, and everyday!

Happy Veterans Day to my fellow Vets 💪🏾

Always a big fan of the purple Indians - well coached and talented team. Sophomore backup is not a QB he will be back at WR next season. Coaches son will be back at the helm along with #.33 freshmen RB . I wasn't completely disappointed in the loss I thought our coach did a great job of game management with a brand new back field. I don't support some of his sideline antics but that's above my paygrade. GO INDIANS !

My two cents re: ArmbandGate. There may not be evidence that stealing the armband (That’s what it was. The instant he intentionally did not return the armband to its rightful owner while knowing it wasn’t his to keep, it became a theft) helped LCM win the game, but it’s evidence that at least one LCM coach (1) stole from another team, (2) lied when he had an obligation to tell the truth, and (3) took steps to cover up his theft even while direct inquiries were being made to him about the armband’s location and what he did with it. That has to be punished. If an attorney did something like this in a trial he might be disbarred. And, the team should have had to forfeit the game. Letting LCM skate on this invites exactly the message people are making here today, that “it must not have been that big of a deal if it didn’t warrant a forfeit.” It’s very much a big deal, an astonishing example of bad faith and dishonesty from a public employee in charge of children. It was a blatant violation of sportsmanship, human decency, and the law. Most of us will remember that in 2018 PNG had to forfeit a game they won against Crosby under less severe circumstances. A coach had an iPad in the press box - Against the rules. So, even though it was agreed by the district members that there had been no effect on the game’s outcome, PNG was forced to forfeit. There was no lying, or hiding evidence by PNG as there was by LCM - it was simply, “You broke a rule and we have to send a message.” LCM broke the rules, and the district should have sent a stronger message.

I assume they want their $500 watch back

The ignorance from this ordeal is laughable. It's a lot of LCM support or justification of obvious cheating. Did it completely dictate the result of the game? No. Did it play a role in the result of the game? Yes. Understanding tendencies or deciphering hand signals is gamesmanship, but having your hands on electronics your opponent uses to relay plays is full blown cheating. Both of these teams are good and based off the second half score it's a one possession game that could have gone either way. Player discovers opponents wrist band and then brings it to his coach. Coach gives the wrist band to the ref and it is returned to the team it belongs to and you play ball. It's that simple of a scenario that could have happened but when nobody was looking the wrong decision was made to gain a competitive advantage.

You are a joke. The LCM coach had zero integrity. Your analogy makes zero sense.

Here are the details that I know. In the LC-M/BC game of two weeks ago an incident happened at the beginning of the game that caused BC to raise questions. BC has electronic wristbands for their offensive play calling. The offensive players wear these "watches" and the offensive co. gives the play call from his tablet to these watches. This is the first year that UIL has allowed teams to use these devices. BC and a couple of other area teams use these devices. I hear they are pretty expensive. But that's here nor there. At the beginning of the game (opening kickoff) an LC-M player found one of these "watches" and instead of giving it to a game official (which in NCAA rules, you are required to) he gave it to one of his coaches. The coach never gave it to an official. It was shown on game film the coach being handed the "watch". It was also shown on game film during the game that this coach, who is an offensive coach, stayed very close to the defensive co. all during the first half. BC did not learn of the watch missing until right before halftime. They asked for it back. But it is not the responsibility of game officials to ask the opponent for it. School admins, coaches have to get involved. TASO has no say so in the matter. They are only responsible when given the device to get it back to rightful team. BC even had coaches and admins search LC-M sidelines during halftime to look for watch. There is also no in game penalty to access the team who confiscated the device. LC-M claimed they did not have the device and has yet to turn it over. But video evidence shows otherwise. What the video doesn't prove if the coach or coaches were able to use the device to their advantage. But the halftime score was 17-0 in favor of LC-M. BC stopped using their devices in 2nd half. Final score was 24-16, LC-M. A meeting today of the district supts. to discuss this issue and vote on a possible forfeiture or reprimands. The vote was 3-3. So no forfeiture. This is definitely an ethics situation and not necessarily a rules violation. DEC and UIL would have to govern and determine what type action. IMO, it's a black eye on all involved but like I stated earlier, should not warrant a forfeiture of game.

Here is a list of the teams that have clinched the playoffs with two weeks left of the regular season. This list is only teams that have actually clinched. Not teams that are likely to make playoffs or could or should. Just the ones that HAVE punched their ticket to the playoffs. Teams are listed in alphabetical order and not by seed. Lot's of seeding still left to be determined. 23-6A CE King, North Shore 9-5A DI Port Arthur Memorial (district champs) 11-5A DI Angleton, La Porte 8-5A DII Montgomery, Port Neches-Groves 10-4A DI Bridge City, Huffman, Little Cypress-Mauriceville, Lumberton 9-4A DII West Orange-Stark 9-3A DI Fairfield 10-3A DI East Chambers, Hardin 12-3A DII Newton, Woodville 11-2A DI San Augustine 12-2A DII Evadale, West Sabine 12-1A DI Chester 21 teams have clinched. Still need 25 more. 10-4A DI has all 4 of their playoff spots clinched. Last two weeks of the season will be very interesting.

I'm struggling to understand the mental gymnastics it takes to blame this shutdown on anyone other than the left when the right has already passed a clean CR pushing no republican agenda to open the govt back.

PN-G doesn't look past anybody. The preparation for the opponent each week is evident on the field and the scoreboard.

It was said 20 times on the Ennis game broadcast. CB was in a brace. You think SOC didnt have coaches there scouting? There is no secret. And yes, Fight Club was a figment of the dudes imagination, just like any opponent gaining a competitive advantage from a message board is yours. Telling people to STFU is the wrong way to get good conversation going.

No game will ever be affected by anything said here. No team is getting their game-winning intelligence by trolling fan sites.

Andddddd…. congrats to coach H on the victory,they worked their butts off this week and it showed.Thanksgiving football in West Orange!!

If everything holds up looks like I’m headed to Deer Park to watch PAM get a W pregame at Jimmy Changas right down the road on Center street. After the game driving to family house in Katy waking up and headed to Austin to watch Texas vs Arkansas game. Pulled Pork, Pork Ribs, and Pork steaks at the tailgate. Dinner TBD… Sunday waking up getting in line for Terry Black’s BBQ.

I wanna rollout to see THAT one, but Port Arthur Memorial got business to handle in Deer country.

Landon Smith - Senior combo guard at Brookeland - special player if you have not seen him yet Three time District MVP, Three Time TABC All Region Team, Two Time TABC All State Team Will surpass 3000 career points early this season and will become the All time Leading scorer in the history or Brookeland Basketball Career Record as a starter at Brookeland 87-23 (41-1) 27 points, 4 assist, 7 rebounds, 3 steals per game last season

51 years since last Distric championship, this team is special. Coaching is fantastic, Boys playing hard week in and week out. Lots of History being made this season for the Hardin Hornets Football Program.

You stop talking in 3rd person and we will show some respect. I sent you a message asking you not to do that.

"If we cheated in this game, we would have self-reported"😂

So is it true or not true that the LCM coaching staff went to a Chauncey Billups coaching clinic this past summer?

I’d like it to go on record that the yahoos on this thread spewing nonsense and trying to change the subject make up what is a (very) loud minority of LCM folks. I’ve known Hunter a long time and consider him a friend. Looks like he made a mistake in the heat of battle and will have to live with the consequences. Unfortunate situation all around.

The defensive coordinator never signals the defense until after the BC players look at their watches.

Or just the game to be played the right way....

I will say I think Coach Williams has done an outstanding job at United this year....and that sentiment has been given to me by multiple head coaches in the district unprompted

UIL is unpredictable. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Map comprehension isn't their thing sometimes.

Uncle spidey???

My sophomore year at Hardin we moved from 2A to 3A for the first time. We played our former 2A opponents as non district games and were undefeated going into district. I was a starting LB and I’ll never forget coming from small town Hardin into Beaumont and playing in this huge stadium lol. I think we won 2 or3 district games, I’ll always wonder about “what could have been” if we had stayed 2A that year. Johnny Marsh at QB, Anthony Scott and Daniel Marsh at running backs, man what a team that was. I’m super proud of this years team, way to go boys!!

I agree about the opt up. It should only be for schools with major travel issues. (i.e. El Paso, etc.) Not for schools that are are only traveling 60 or less miles. BC, HJ and Liberty all opted up for competition reasons. Not travel. You'll never convince me otherwise. I can see BC opting up because they are actually very close to DI numbers anyway. HJ and Liberty are not even close. Also, I am not all that hip on all the other sports going to divisions but if that is how it's going to be, then have divisional districts like football and not decide the divisions after district play. That actually allows a larger school to get in D2 depending on who makes playoffs. If they do go with divisional districts this next realignment for all sports (I am hearing they won't) then schools that opt up for football should have to play all the rest of their sports in that football district. You shouldn't be able to pick and choose what sport you want to opt up in and not.

This not a 50/50 game. Montgomery’s offense relies heavily on their running back #1. Their passing game is average. Their defense is adequate. They haven’t played a PNG caliber team yet. PN-G 35 Montgomery 17

If it's not their team having success, then they're going to be negative. They always find a reason to be negative and that's just society today. But I'll say this, if your coach chose to opt up to Division 1 for WHATEVER reason, then you should back him 100%. If other people don't agree, so be it. It's what Bridge City decided to do and in the long scheme of things, they were successful doing it. BC is now the 2025 Division 1 District Champions and Bi-District Champions. So it's working for them. If you're on here and you not from Navasota or maybe Kilgore, then beat it or support a SETX team that is successful. There are plenty of schools loaded with potential in this area that can't figure it out. Go back to the miserable thread about your team not making the playoffs or losing the first round and figure out a solution to excel! Bridge City did! Congrats Cardinals!

Your district record got better because of the district you now play. I stated that out of the three schools that opted up, BC was the only one I really didn't have much problem with doing it since their numbers are close to DI anyways. IMO, BC finishes no better than 3rd in 9-4A DII.

I’m not a BC supporter but their program is improving each year regardless of the district. Great win. A lot of sour grapes around here.

Who knew this would be the most entertaining thread of the season? 😁🍿

The winner/loser of this game has no effect whatsoever in my life. The coach is going to take the fall I know the focus is on him but it's the entire coaching staff. It's the arrogance being displayed. You want to hold 10 people with opinions accountable on the forum, yet you are ok with a coach showing the young men he mentors to avoid accountability and integrity.

If they wouldn't do that, why is there so much evidence that they did that? (asking for a friend)

I agree......And the elephant in the room, " Nederland is YOUNG'' is really true. Rich is in a tough spot as his measuring stick is the guy across the tracks. The dogs need coordinators, let's see if this happens.

Dayton by as much as they want -

This was a playoff game. Hopefully we learned a lot. Defense went through a refiner’s fire tonight. We need to get better from it.

Great idea. Hope it works out for you.
