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.

Man there is a lot to unpack here. I'm literally laughing out loud reading most of these comments. Clearly a bunch of new Huffman trolls but mixed in with a really inflated opinion of their team. I'm a fan of Huffman. Unfortunately I'm a bigger fan of the truth. The truth is Drayden Bacon (the RB) is probably the best player in the district and can single handedly win a game for you. The younger Bacon (Dailen) is probably the fastest kid in district and can run by any DB out there and his hands are improving. Both are D1 talents. Huffman has 2 linemen that are D1 talents in my opinion. One has several D1 offers and the other should. After these 4 kids, the well is pretty dry. #13 is very well rounded football player. Everyone else is just a guy on the team. They are so far below average on defense it's crazy the OCs haven't exploited them more. Why do you think they went to a 5 man front? Because they can't stop running water with 4. Obviously teams should be picking them apart in the air, but no teams in this district can pass the ball so they are getting away with it. Vidor is a bad matchup for Huffman. I feel they will wear them down and run away with it at the end. I think all these Huffman players need to get off their phones and worry about the game and not a blog.

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.

Would assume being 1-2 with EC and Orangefield left there is little chance of Tarkington getting in this year, but very little question about the arrow pointing up for this program.

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

Thread of the season candidate here 🤣🤣

Trump has taken us one step closer to pure socialism by taking government ownership stakes in multiple companies and industries, and justifying them all with the umbrella of ‘National Security.’ He’s codified the Democratic Socialists’ agenda for them, and a bunch of Trump-loving stooges went right along with it.

Getting a lot of "newbies" creating accounts from the classroom and posting. Pretty easy to tell.

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 will say I think honestly it won't speed the game up that much as 35 seconds is a very long time so I think it could lead to longer possessions. It will force coaches to have some late shot clock built in actions to run if their offense isn't producing a shot after 25 seconds. Also teams that rely on pressing like in the college game can adapt if in foul trouble to force teams into shorter half-court possessions with a slower press with less trapping as that is what I have heard the most in my conversations with college coaches about the change. There are lots of mini games that can be played with it that will take a few people a while. I don't mind people holding the ball either, I do like this for late game the most as teams will have to be able to play a little better late game than just use an elite guard to dribble around to run clock out in late game too. But I 100% see your point about it taking some styles away.

West Fork will be a playoff team. Splendora will not. Losing to WF can be considered a quality loss. Losing to Splendora cannot be considered a quality loss. But definitely losing to Liberty is a terrible loss on anyone's resume.

This is what any of them don't get!! They all on this site always think everyone be against the coaching staff. We love them all as a person.but, the coaching has no discipline at all! All the unsportsmanlike penalties and all the penalties as a hole.great teams doesn't do some of the things they do.and that's why ppl are so critical of the staff!! It's not Abt the past !! It's Abt now.west orange still will win. But, been sooo undisciplined doesn't make sense

Everything is back in order,thanks you can delete HS stuff now-

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.

I personally don't think it adds. It takes away more than it adds. It will be more cookie cutter basketball. Everyone basically forced to play the same styles. I don't think that's a good thing. I want a coach to be able to coach however he/she thinks is best for his/her team's success. If that means being more deliberate style (not holding the ball for a quarter, I'm not for that) then so be it. Not every school has athletes and basketball skills to compete in an up tempo game. Coaches and players will eventually adapt but to me there was no logical reason for it. And don't say it helps prepare for the next level. That's for only about 5% of the players in the entire state. The other 95% ends their basketball playing days in the high school gyms. I just think UIL finally succumbed to the select few and fanbase.

It's in the works for SETXsports to broadcast this game tonight. Waiting to hear back from BISD for the approval.

Have people already forgotten Nederland's impressive win over Almeta Crawford? Kept it close until the final minute against a stout WOS team. Saying they will lose first round is taking away from how well those boys can play. Yes, their competition has been lacking the last couple weeks, but they have done their job and handled business.

WOS literally just went to the state championship and we got people complaining about coaching 🤣

Da bee 😂 aka silsbee

Final 42-14 Lamar

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.

Ended that record breaking district win streak 😁 fun times

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
