I will say this, #2 and #12 for West Brook could play for North Shore as starters.

To find the 5A cutoff number, see what Highland Park turns in.

I said this in the West Brook win over United a couple of weeks ago as it has been displayed tonight, whenever the Bruins season ends, it will be due to missed PAT’s...

4A Region III rankings Hardin-Jefferson Fairfield Jasper Waco Connally Midlothian Heritage Silsbee Livingston Brazosport Houston Wheatley Cleveland Tarkington On the cusp Lorena Robinson Lumberton Sweeny Little Cypress-Mauriceville Lots of love for SETX HJ, Silsbee, Lumberton and LCM all in same district!

Just cause MTC has super top secret info and his lips are sealed doesn’t mean we all gotta be quiet! Where’s the chatter?!

I don’t want to lose Vidor for Lumberton in 12-5a. Vidor, if you stay, I promise I will call Nederland your rival, and won’t even make fun of you that much for it. [insert sappy 80s break-up song].

Luckily, y’all get out athleted by whomever y’all play, so I guess in those terms you should be ecstatic! 😳

I understand the whole transfer thing ppl rag on, but i hate to say it but here it is: if you build it they will come. Just look at New Caney ISD football teams now for example, it wasn't like that just several years ago.

I don’t know the answer to that. I’m saying that “on paper”, it looks like HH has the advantage over Splendora (record, common opponents, least points scored in a game, etc.) There are “match up” factors though. If Splendora’s players, style of play, coaching decisions, injuries on HH team, and any other factors that can expose a HH weakness can turn the table it could mean a win for Splendora. If I had a wish it would be for a Splendora win. If I had a $100 to bet on it, I would put my green on Huffman. Basically everything I said DMS. 🤫

Would it really be a "shocker of the year" for the defending district champs to win this game?

All things considered, I thought West Brook showed huge improvement, especially since it was a 55-7 drubbing last season. The Bruins competed, tonight. The defense played pretty well, and even forced a few NS punts. The offense did well, but the best teams will struggle against their defense. Ns is the real deal, and while we didnt get the win, it was a step in the right direction. The 25 points the Bruins scored is the most given up by North Shore this season. Hell, Katy only scored 24 against them. The Bruins will be fine, especially if we go D2. Should we make it all the way to state, again, I believe the outcome may be different. I know it's a loss, but the measuring stick used in this game says the Bruins are doing something right.

2500 students to 5000 students, if 6A ever gets divided maybe things will be different but that will depend on cut off numbers

Soooo.......I haven't posted in a while..lol. But this topic sparks my interest TREMENDOUSLY. I work with people from all over east and s.e. tx. Many of which played for some of these powerhouses. I just had this conversation with a guy who played rb for Westfield back in the mid to late 2000's when they were a dominant team in Houston before Dekaney opened. I asked this VERY SAME question. He said it was their ATTITUDE. They vowed to not lose at home and to not lose to any Houston schools. He also said that that attitude starts on the middle school level and that the hs coaches frequently visited and passed down the playbook to them BEFORE they got to hs. They were also very committed to lifting weights throughout the offseason. I asked about supplements. He said they didn't take any. I do believe most of the powerhouse teams that can afford it have nutritional coaches on staff and a budget for supplies to give their kids an edge physically. Bigger, faster, and stronger still works. Couple that with a coaching staff that knows what it takes and oh boy.... My assessment: Their kids are bigger, tougher, meaner, more experienced, more determined, more committed, and therefore more confident than ours...... hands down. It's one thing to beat up on undermanned, undersized, and outnumbered ozen and central for all of these years and feel good and satisfied about it. It's a whole 'nother thing to take on the state's best and see where you really stand. It humbles you. I do believe that wb is on the right track though, but are still quite a ways behind as far as everything it takes to be on that level. Hopefully the experience from last year and this year propels them closer. IMHO...😉

Westbrook was in the state final last year just about every team in Texas would take that. One thing you need to add to your list is facilities. North Shore has talent coaching and the facilities to compete year in and year out.

You sure? I thought they were going 5 wide and jet sweep Ned to death in the mud.

Coach Shu, you guys got a lot of love from Roy’s report! You guys have a solid squad and hope for much success! PNG faces Jasper, Silsbee, Livingston and Lumberton.

I figured out the top secret info MTC had... Vidors gameplan is to run the ball a lot in this game. Some right, some left and a bunch up the middle.

BC Qb should give them some problems. But I don’t know if he will be enough

Cant give up on my team. They have played too well all season to give up just yet. The fat lady is trying to sing but she can be silenced.

We gotta hang onto some of this mud... 1 more home game in 2 weeks. Wouldn’t wanna disappoint anyone!!!

Yeah they always play their heart out. Got to love programs that are this way.

And that's one of the worst fields in southeast Texas. Mud Bowl time

Enrollment numbers, transfers, and coaching. It is amazing that year after year, Katy ends up with an OL standing 6'4" - 6'6" and weighing 275 lbs. - 300 lbs. Year in and year out, Katy seems to find a RB or two that can play D1 football. The move-in program at Katy is second to none. NS is similar. My sister-in-law teaches at NS. Enrollment of 4,000+ kids and then the Mustangs sprinkle in 1 or 2 move-ins and transfers. Add good coaching to those ingredients and voila, you have a perennial top-notch program. Those programs have resources. They have athletes, money, facilities, solid coaching, and a commitment to staying on top. Go Indians. Peace.

Who wins this one? I've got my Cats but not because they're good 😂. It's laugh or cry at this point

I hope so, the weather is supposed to push out by game time

Lmao!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Post of the day so far. I didn't think anyone remembered that debacle.

Been to Vermont. Beautiful country. Met a store owner who taught me to talk yankee. Bar Harbor is pronounced Baaaaa Haaaabaaa. Lobster is pronounced Lobstaaaa. He made fun of my southern drawl but in a nice and comical way. He was a kick. Hate to see this happen to such a pretty part of the country.

It was good while it lasted.

I don’t know this poster, but there a lot of truths above. Certainly there are some other factors, but without the points above, a program will not reach its potential. Imo.

I’m with you. Why change up what’s working for some obscure game plan like this? On the other hand, might catch Ned off guard. 😂😂😂 Btw, glad Ned has a tarp over the field..

HJ QB gonna be seeing ghosts?

The home team does not supply the timekeeper. Keep reaching.

Pear orchard eluded to this as well but I ve seen it first hand. I ve coached at laporte east chambers and bmt(hs and middle). Your middle school is where the foundation and attitude is set for your program. The involvement the high school coaches have at la porte and ec in the junior high programs is by far more involved than bmt. It’s not even close. And not just in season but offseason as well. at la porte and ec middle schools they had a work out program just like and as intense as the high schools. Bmt middle schools are a joke. If they even touch weights it’s more of just an introduction to it and that s it. Also the middle school Athletic facilities And lack of weights are not conducive to a winning program. i was taken back when I first started coaching here after being at la porte and ec. bmt middle schools do not have a true Athletic period where all the coaches are in the period. It’s usually just two. at Laporte a def and off coach would come at least once a week to a ms practice. At ec most of the hs coaches were at every jh practice for the 1st hr. wb has some elite talent in certain areas but what I think is the difference between wb and say Allen, Duncanville , ns, Katy. Are all other positions. They may not be elite and getting 10-20 d1 offers but they get offers unlike wb whether it be fbs, div2 div 3 or jc. If you take just starters on def and off for ns and wb. Who would have the most kids offered? when I first came to bmt and saw the lack of organization in middle school athletics I talked to the AD as well as the head coaches about ways to improve this area. And theY knew this already but acted as if their hands were tied (and they may be) but they need to press the issue with admin and keep pressing but really to get answers and change the parents have to get involved. also the middle school coaches need to go to coaching clinics. Some not all don’t have a clue in even how to run a drill much less a practice or program. Main reason I got out of coaching as well as I was spending more time with other people s kids than my own. my 2 cents

NS wins by 29.

Lol, you can not take dumb out of West Hardin, so they cant play smart either.....Lovelady rolls....

Evans with a 66 yard TD run 54-25 NS 5:34 4th Evans has 6 carries for 180 yards and 2 TD's

NS doing their best to win this by 28.

Wish I had your confidence

Watching this game. Ik WB has shot themselves in the foot a few times.but I know at the end it will be a learning experience. And I truly believe WB will win the state title in division 2.

Titans 9th grade won 30-28.

That field is going to be a mud pit tomorrow night! Lots of rain on the way! Of course it would be a mud pit tomorrow night even if it didn’t rain!😁

In about 4 minutes it goes from almost 14-17 to a blowout dang

Well maybe not

King with the 1handed td catch!

Sit on North Shore side. WB needs some luck

Both teams gotta play in it.

Y’all aren’t here your just lurking. If Crosby was dominating there would be 30 of y’all and 19 topics telling us how you could beat The Patriots!

Is this the thread for panzie millennial liberals to post on.

Deweyville, I ain’t scared.
