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...

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.

So Carthage’s domination will be over. Go Pirates. 😂

2210 will be the cutoff number haha but Aledo will be D1 IMO

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

Lumberton should win this one on paper. Maybe we catch the Raiders sleeping.... I don't know.

On a positive note: rain SHOULD be cleared up by game time. Both teams on a turf field which takes mud and muck out of the equation and I have a nice “blanky” to keep the wind and cold off. Not sure how the BC Fans see this game ending, cuz most are keeping radio silence so they don’t have to take a chance of rebuttal afterwards. Raider fans mostly calling for a close one. I just wish they were playing in Bridge City. Last year they gave away a freakin hog trap instead of the normal “split the pot”. I need one for my deer lease. I heard this year they gave away a mostly complete partially used set of dishes and a gift card to the Dollar General. Maybe next year...

Man I love this point of view. I never really thought of it like that but it makes so much sense, to start at the lower level and that’s where you build the foundation. The kids at North Shore just looked bigger, and it was crazy because I know the kids at Brook work out hard everyday. But the nutrition part makes a lot of sense. great take

The last sentence is what you gotta love about them, that’s all you can ask of anyone.

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.

Wait until the 7th and 8th grade classes get there.

How you gonna do me like that boneyard 😂😂😂 great now we have to change the entire plan up....... 😂😂😂🤐🤐🤐🤫🤫🤫

WHY??? You told them?!? That was super secret! Now everybody knows thanks a lot! 🤣🤣🤣

Bridge City - 796

Literally impossible to stay Golden Triangle being in 5A D1 😂

Just passed by stadium the darn wild hogs are back on the field Eating the corn the coach put out last night and rutting the field up muddy as heck😁

Maybe Evans should stay "under control" so he won't have to sit out a quarter. It was said last night on the broadcast they saving him for the playoffs but he's cleared. NS fans are a knowledgeable weird bunch, im used to em, it's not that they're not high on em, they've seen this all before in years they didn't get passed 3rd round. If that would've happened last night they would've put 70 on WB, not joking either.

I was hoping for a different result in this game, but Once you see North Shore, the results that you seen were inevitable. I was really impressed with how WB was able to move the ball all night on that fast physical defense. North Shore is not very big on the d-line, but they get after it. Couple of things I noticed. 1. No one on North Shore's roster could/can check #12 Thad Johnson. This kid kept getting behind, around and through the defense, took hard hits and just kept on gashing them. This kid is special 2. No one and I mean NO ONE can tackle #3 from North Shore, Evans. That kid is a man and it's just ridiculous seeing him looking like a 99 player while the rest of the defense is 60 (Madden reference) . 3. Why is NS short changing their offense by limiting Evans? If you have a monster like that, ride him all the way through! That game could have been over with in the first quarter had they let Evens play every snap. 4. I believe NS only threw once to Banks, so they limited this kid too. 5. WB's special teams is HORRIBLE. Everything from the pooch kicks on kickoffs, the refusal to actually field the kickoffs (let ball roll into the front of the end zone), Punting (short punts and gave up a returned punt), and most importantly, the extra point attempts, Non were successful and one was returned the other way for a NS TD). 6. Why didn't Holland play? 7. WB has some really nice young RB's that will look good next year. 8. NS fans not really high on their team and they should be. That talent is unreal and you won in a blowout but some were still unhappy. I don't get it. 9. Yowman was really off target last night and he missed a few passes that would have been scores. 10. WB offense left like 21 points on the field even after their defense made a few stands. I think if WB QB can be accurate like he normally is, this WB team will do great in the playoffs. I think that If NS quits playing around and ride their monsters from the opening whistle, no one, except Duncanville, can slow this team down.

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

I believe I said 28 also even though it could have been 58. The shore looks good but d-1 is a mother-shut your mouthful with atascocita, Katy, converse Judson, Duncanville and according to Bert Broecker in the pressbox a renewed South Lake Carrol. This year d-1 is varsity and d-2 is jv. I can hardly wait.

That ain't my style. Tell that little person to make sure he keeps the camera straight when filming the game. We saw him standing in the gated area of the press box filming. Oh and tell him it's time to cut that head bald. That hairline is damn near to back of his head. And if we need information on what cameras are best to use when filming football games, we'll give him a call. That must be his expertise. Lol...

I don’t know. That sounds like a pretty far-fetched theory.

That's great to see the district get recognition by the prognosticators. Toughest girls district in SETX imo, from #2 in the state HJ, #13 in the state Silsbee, (per TABC preseason rankings), to a very hard nosed LCM squad coached by a HOF coach. I personally think you can throw Bridge City in that cusp mix as well. They have a very solid x/o coach as well, plus a high energy roster Saw several teams in another thread wanting to scrimmage HJ, shoot, come on down to 22-4a and you can catch them twice a year for a real (improbable) win/(most likely) loss chance, like these teams in this district have to, lol. Hope for a safe, injury free year for all the ladies competing this year.

TD Evans. Was more respectable for a minute.

WB better hope they go D2 again because their kicking game will let them down in a tight contest

Lol, but you’ll admit it doesn’t happen often? Bad choice of words, but I think most get the idea. Vidor’s won/lost record against Ned is dismal. Really a shame it’ll be played in the mud, the blood, and the beer (to quote J. Cash), but both teams have it to do. Should be a good game.

There’s no doubt that the Mecca over the years has not had a problem telling you how great they are!😂 Even though they are 2 and 2 in the last 8 years against the one legged Pirates with the Mecca described Dinosaur Offense. In those 2 losses one was a triple overtime loss and the other loss was by no means a blowout. If you want to know how great they are just ask them they’ll tell you😂 So I say let BHFan bask in his team’s success!

WB and their kicking game is like their defense: Sometimey......

NS side lol pulling for WB though

Will we get our first win at home this year?

This

I didn’t picture you as a mimosa guy, but glad you got some R&R! Now back to work! Quick update while you were gone no-one is talking smack and the best put downs we have received thus far is calling us Barbie Hill and Ant Mound ( those are soooo 2018). Hoping you can help them be more creative. We could talk football, but I think that ship has sailed.

May come down to who gets the ball last. We play that matador defense ourselves we just ole everyone

I believe Crosby has the athlete’s to win but I give BH the Coaching edge. This game may be closer than you think. Hoping for no injuries.
