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.......

Sounds like someone has taken a few butt kickins from EC. All of this rhetoric that you are throwing out there definitely needs to be aimed at your team. Do you want to know why EC comes off as "arrogant" to people outside of Winnie, it's because they believe that they can win any game that they are playing. If you go into the game passive and "hoping" to win, then the odds are not in your favor. Every winning program has that "arrogant" attitude. I don't care where they are from, but they have it. Just look at arguably the greatest QB of all time, Tom Brady, he plays with that arrogant, I'm better than you attitude. I am an EC graduate, and I can tell you, EC used to be the homecoming game for everyone. If you don't like how the BUCS act, then have your team beat them.

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.

I mean someone has to damn cheating injuns.

Orangefield has a chance to beat EC; the key is turning the game into a street fight. EC is playing at Orangefield, defend your your home turf. The opportunity to win is too big and the return is even greater. When they come into your stadium with all that flash and glitter; knock them on their butts; when they get up, put them on their butts again. You are playing at home; play the most physical game you have ever played. Tackle harder, block harder, and run harder than you have ever played. If you do this, and each of the next opponents follow suit; you know what the results will be. It is time to earn some respect from EC. They don't respect you, the district, or the rest of Southeast Texas. You never here people talk about how tough they are. This is your chance; hit them in the mouth! That is how you handle a bully. If they are handled this way every week the results will be enormous. The rest of the district is not EC fans; we are fanatical about Souteast Texas football. Stepup and hit the bully in the mouth. Orangefield this is your chance, EC is expecting a football game where they put on the mgreatest show on turf. When the ball is kicked, let the street fight last for four quarters. Let's shake this thing up.

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.

This team is not a team. All you have to do is watch the sidelines. Cancer spreads quickly.

Why do you think this is?

Newton is a good example of this. Their economy has been awful for as long as I can remember. I think a lot of those kids work so hard because football is a way to move forward. The pros are unlikely, but a lot of those guys get good opportunities to play and get an education in college. Jasper is similar, but recently a couple of companies have brought in new jobs so things are looking up.

Agreed... fire sale time.

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

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 would rather the Twins win so the Yanks don't get any extra rest.

Well I'm hoping for a great game.i thought last year silsbee team had jelled together real nice.and they were scary on both sides of the ball. This years defense doesn't impress me at all.poor tackling and secondary that isn't playing well.by w.o with these slow starts expect them to do alot of no huddle to get the QB going early.silsbee backs will get yards. But not like last year. And I be hoping silsbee at least try to throw something different besides a deep jump ball.bcz w.o running zone they would have opportunities.and if they concentrate on 41. #3 is back to full strength.and they must tackle him. #41 will get his no matter what.i really can't see w.o turning the ball over inside there own territory against this team bcz of the talent on offense. Bcz them T/O has cost them in the newton and Nederland game. Can't turn the ball over against gud teams.

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

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.

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!

The Eagles win this one going away. Lee will romp and stomp on those they can, but when confronted by a good team, not so much. And it appears BH might be the cream of the crop in this District.

District championship will be week 10 when diboll travels to the super centex to play franklin

Because he hates me

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.
