That was a great game

I am afraid this would be how it went had Cuero or Silsbee had been the opponent. I want to think that Silsbee would have a little more success offensively but Carthage is just at another level.

From a Facebook post of a Mississippi sports reporter. Sorry but this was too good not to share. Is there any wonder why this man was so beloved? How welcoming, how kind was Mike Leach? Jeff Tyler of Wetumpka, AL contacted me to tell me a great story. It’s a story that reminds us of Coach Leach’s patience, his keen memory and his interest in others. I think you will enjoy this tale! “Three years ago, I took my 11-year-old son to a Mississippi State game. Jackson wanted to see pre-game warm-ups, so we were practically the first fans in the stadium. We took our upper level seats, and my son asked if he could walk down to the field level seats to watch warm-ups, and I let him. Well, this kid somehow managed to convince a security guard that he was supposed to be on the field. The next thing I saw was my son walking up to Coach Leach and fist bumping him. “The two started talking, and a few minutes later Coach Leach was calling over a couple of his players. Now, my son was a center on his YMCA team- Coach Leach had his centers showing my son how to snap the ball! I was in the upper deck, totally dumbfounded that an SEC coach just spent time in pre-game showing some kid he’d never met how to snap a football. My kid comes back to our upper deck seats beaming with pride- I saw it as a memory of a lifetime. “Two years later we went to another game- my son was again in the front row watching warm-ups. A graduate assistant ran over and yelled, Are you Jackson?’ and my son said, ‘Yes!’ The graduate assistant said, ‘Coach Leach wants to see you,’ and he took my son out on the field. “Coach Leach asked my son if he’d been practicing, and then made him do several snaps. Coach told him to keep working on it, gave him a football and sent him on his way. I was in the stands dumbfounded that a coach remembered my son’s name, remembered that day, and knew what spending five minutes of his time with a kid could mean.” Thanks, Jeff, for this wonderful story. I’m asking myself as I write this, “What other college football coach would do such a thing?”, and the answer is, “Pretty much none.” If anyone wonders why Mike Leach was and is so loved, they need only listen to the story of the coach and 11-year-old Jackson Tyler. Then we will all understand… In a snap.

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to breathe the same air that I do.

It looks like Carthage is far enough ahead that the Carthage kids might get to play

I'm one. I really thought the winner of Cuero/Silsbee would have defeated Wimberley and been the one taking this beating by Carthage.

Well. All it shows is teams need to do a better job of coaching there kids. That's why u gotta luv what png has done to get where they're

I agree. Out of region 3 or 4 anyways. Glen Rose was the 2nd best team in 4A-D2. Silsbee, mainly Miller, would have scored, but couldn’t have kept Carthage out of the endzone.

Congratulations... Y'all was my pick in the beginning of this season to win it all. If I was a betting man Franklin would have won me some money 🤑

Back 2 Back state Champs!!!!!.... 32 straight wins which is the longest in texas. Had we not lost to Canadian in 2020 35-34 it would have been a 3 peat but I will take the back 2 back. Congrats Brock on a great season and a great team

Yup. Heck of a run by 25.

That was one heck of a stiff arm

You’re always dragging race into something that is nowhere near racist. Pathetic!!

I don't have an issue with it...the team gets to sleep in their own beds tonight

PNG Football Throwback Thursday

Killer penalty. Wow. Probably just cost them the game. CS about to get the ball back.

After watching 5 SOC games I really think PNG should win this game. There are certain areas of the SOC defense that can be exploited bad. PNG has the personnel to do just that. Now I'm sure the coaches have seen it I will not elaborate on it. PNG is the best team. I have been asked by multiple people on this board to give my advise on previous game and everything I have said has come true with the only difference being the total outcome of the score with Liberty Hill (PNG won bigger than I anticipated). The defense did exactly what I said and honestly the outcome could have been worse. Now SOC I do not believe they have seen the front 7 defensively or the power of the offensive line. There are a couple formations and plays the SOC cannot defend by looking at film. I am not going to expose them yet. But don't be surprised if you see a new formation in the backfield for 70%of the plays. They are not as good as advertised in 1 on 1 coverage, however they will catch you from behind. The coaches from PNG I am sure have seen what I have and to be honest it would not surprise me to see PNG win by 2 plus scores.

The UIL should really make it easier for anyone to watch. Regular season and playoff games too. This is more of a Bally's problem. Never understood why leagues have blackouts either. Someone wants to spend money to watch and they say "sorry you're in the wrong area."

Tony was a blur, once he got an inch of room he was gone, never seen him get caught from behind.

They must have just heard you lol

Danaher had 90 playoff wins. Surratt is young and probably has another 20+ years to shatter every record.

That freshman RB looked good today too.

Wimberley star QB transferred to China Spring this year and has led them to state title game.

I have no idea who is gonna win this game. SOC has a lot of swagger. PNG is gonna have to come out early and punch them in the mouth. Much like FBM I think if you can rattle them, you can beat them. PNG can not let them get momentum early. If SOC tastes blood early it could be a long night for PNG. This is the most well balanced, disciplined PNG team I have ever seen. If they can not make mistakes they will bring home the trophy!!!

He picked SOC back in August to repeat. He’s not backing down from his pick. Lol

They wasted their time drafting this. Absurd.

I'm tuning in!

Since he would guarantee a D win, which many claim, seems they would welcome him as the candidate.

They got that like 15 mins into the game. Thinking they wanna break they're own scoring record today.

Wimberly completes a long pass but Carthage DB strips ball & returns it 42 yds to Wimberly 48yd line

Game day! Im heading out in purple to support the indians

Game day! Let’s get it.

Good luck Indians!! Y’all can do this! We believe in you! Heading to Arlington later on this morning! Can’t wait!

Watching Silsbee Wednesday night it was obvious that they weren’t in basketball shape. Came out strong but second half it seemed the legs just wasn’t there. Replay this game in a month and would be a lot closer. Hard schedule should pay off but might hurt in final four seeding….side note: SFA’s coach Keller and Harris was armed up after the game. Lol

hold your head up, Brock

Franklin wins state!!!!! Walk-off FG.

That #77 for Brock has a helluva motor. Good size kid too. Very good defensive linemen. Coming out of this timeout, would be a great time for their 1st pass.

It's about time we get a good ballgame. 😁

Fumble!!! Brock ball. This game is weird and fun.

IMO I believe PNG will win the Championship tomorrow in Dallas. The purple and white will shine Cherokee will be blasting and South Oak Cliff will be shocked at just how good PNG really is.

I’ve said the same thing. But they do what they do, as good as anyone in the state. It’s fun to watch this offense. I thought Brock had the upper hand, and it looks like Franklin has figured something out.

I think Franklin's figured it out...the interior of that defensive line for Brock is stiff

Franklin is going to have to get more diversified on offense if they are going to score on Brock. Brock figuring out Franklin's run game.

Theme so far at State has been the most physically dominant team throughout the game has won. We'll see if it continues.

lol, and a self-proclaimed better business manager than Elon Musk. He goes by Don, by the way.

The ride hasn’t been to bad. Took 105 hit traffic in Huntsville and Maddisonville. Saw lots of PNG people at the bucees just crossed at Waxahachie at the 5 hour mark

The law doesn’t address it. I know that use of force experts advise against it. Since the law doesn’t address warning shots, other laws have to be applied. Firing a firearm on public property is a crime (I think up to 6 months in jail) and that includes the right of way/utility access in front of a house. Cities probably have ordinances against discharging firearms in the city limits and I think state law prohibits discharging a firearm in the city limits automatically if the city has a population of more than 100,000 such as Beaumont. Firing in the direction of a person, vehicle or building is a felony but that is overcome by self defense laws… assuming the self defense was lawful at the time. A DA might not prosecute or the police may not arrest and forward the case but a person is rolling the dice. Of course if you are outside of a city limits and on your own property, discharging a weapon usually isn’t a crime anyway. In such a case unless you are actually firing at the person, in which case you would have to justify it, merely shooting a gun in most situations isn’t likely a crime. In reference to shooting in a city limits with less than a 100,000 population a city ordinance is usually only a class C misdemeanor or basically a traffic citation. A person might get away with a warning shot but it potentially has legal consequences.

I will miss Leach interviews. My 3 favorites are Leach, Bob Knight and Orgeron. Rest In Peace Pirate
