Fair ball all day long.

Nederland off to a hot start winning the drum line battle! 👀👀

After a few years into his tenure at Dayton very very seldom did Stewart get blown out ! Maybe a loss against LK Travis for the region final, pre-district he scheduled big schools like Fort Bend Elkins and Eisenhower and win most times. Several district and regional championships, State final appearance- records that any Dayton coaches since cant even begin to scratch. He used to hold defense coaching clinics where coaches all over the state would attend. He was and an outsider with no buddy or political ties to the local click his only goal was to Win!!!

This is the most entertaining thread of the week so far. 🍿

Players + Coaching + Competition level = Success Any 2 of the 3 can lead to a great year. Maybe not a state championship year, but good year. Just having 1 of the 3 isn't enough. It takes good players.. and it takes preparation/strategy. But that wouldn't be enough in a juggernaut district/region/classification. It happens every two years... Same relative coaching staff, a lot of the same players, but reclassification may turn zeros into heroes or vice versa. Just like I've seen good coaches have mediocre years because of lost talent or even graduation. Or injuries... And not that great of coaches can have pretty good years if they have a lot of talent or are in a weaker level of competition. It's crazy to think that there aren't a lot of variables. But I will never be convinced that all it takes is great coaching. MOST coaches are practicing stuff that is designed to be successful. And MOST coaches are taking stuff from coaches/teams that are successful.

Lmao @Dirty_but_Dazzling you straight up tried to lock this thread because people don’t agree with you… 😂😂

Congrats to the Rangers. The better team won. I can’t figure out what home field advantage is all about. Neither team won at home. Still an Astros fan. That will never change. Will pull for the Texas team to win it all. Best state in the country.

lol, you were hoping to do that, can't blame you. It would have been a mistake to count either team out, but even though I'm an Astros fan, the team with the best chance at winning the WS moved on. Astros have a rally killing dead spot in the lineup that needs to be fixed, the Rangers don't.

Who teaches the players how to block, how to defend the pass, what they are supposed to do in different situations, who inspires them? Oh , that’s right they’re born with that knowledge.

MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!! MVP!!!

Smells like 2011, lets get a different outcome this time, the Texas Rangers are headed back to the World Series!! #GoAndTakeIt   

Rangers were definitely the better team this series

What a terrible night. Stros lose and I lost $20 to my daughter on 49er/Viking game. She took the Vikings but I had to give her 7 points. Looks like that won't matter. Good luck Rangers in the World Series.

Maldy has not “done well” in a long time. That was malpractice on Dusty’s part

Ted Cruz is at the game again. Astros were doomed from the start.

That news is a week old.

It's certainly a mixture. Great players can only overcome so much poor coaching, but in the same breadth, great coaching can only elevate marginal players so far. The players are the most important part, because you'll never win without them, but the coaches will play an important role.

This, you have to have talent, its not strictly Xs and Os. I have seen coaches destroy talent by running the wrong system. IE had spread personnel but brought in the triple option because that's what he likes. A good coach looks at what he has, uses the best system to utilize that talent and then it comes down to how does he relate to them, how does he motivate them, how does he adjust when they study your film and take away what you want to do. A lot of the deeper rounds of playoffs comes down to who can adjust the best when your game plan gets thrown out the window.

here is two examples WOS PNG

Playoffs are right around the corner! This is the last district games of the season (excluding tiebreakers) so let’s get those scores posted. Thanks to the few people that have shared scores this year and in the discussions. Would love to further things next year by even maybe getting with a couple of yall for some rankings.

1 is a known bully 😁

It wasn't a battle, it was camaraderie, per Nederland admin lady on the mic.🤣 But if it would have been a battle, PNG killed it. What beats Housequake? Nothing.

Orangefield did lose a good bit.Yeah Kountze didn’t make the playoffs… The team was basically all sophomores but they did play a seeding game with Buna for 4th which they did lose.. they also beat East Chambers once last year as well so it’s not like they were just a bad team. I stand by my prediction that they will be a favorite to win district. After the first few weeks of the season I think others will be on board as well

Never seen a meltdown like that on here before lol I hope mr. dazzles mixed in a water today.

Same with me with the MHS/BH thread, I'm just waiting for a certain person to show up. 😈

Houston should have made a deal with them just to stay in Arlington for games 6 & 7.

If the rangers can get a couple arms for the bullpen there's a really good chance we run this series back next year. I'm hoping so. This was as exciting of a series as I can remember in my lifetime, and I felt that way BEFORE we put it away last night.

You need to look at Newton’s results, they speak for themselves. We have no chose to who we play in district. Barbay said he did not want to schedule a team unless he thought they had a chance to beat us. He said playing a real bad team serves only to get one of your kids hurt. That is why we have played Silsbee, Gilmer, WOS, Carthage, Jasper, etc.. It prepares us for the playoffs.

Just thought I would bring the conversation back to the RANGERS thread since the ALCS is over. 2023 American League Champs!!! Need 4 more wins!!! Lets go RANGERS!!!

Somebody is inside their feelings but you have never been a fan of the truth........ LOL

Yes he is. He is my little cousin by his mom. His dad Derek Lagway was a great Willis Wildkat. He went on to play at Baylor University in 1994. They are great family always giving back to the community

I agree they missed so much. Should've never even got to that point. I also thought the last play was a horse collar when I saw it live. But looked clean after reviewing it later.

My bad. Read it wrong. Bottom line: JT has the harder path

Going to the 6th, extend the lead!!!

I’m assuming you haven’t seen the RANGERS bullpen as much as I have.

Some kinda atmosphere atmospheric mission? 😳

Don’t need much of a bullpen. The Astros only have 3 or 4 that are capable of getting hits.

Man I remember Willis playing PNG at the Butch in 2010… that school and area has grown so much over the years…

Still early 3-1

The Toilet Bowl.........

People seem to forget that the guy pitching for Arlington tonight got suspended for 10 games this season for being a cheater. Its easy to overlook things when it doesn't fit your narrative.

I’ve watched a couple of bronco games. One that stands out is the Brenham game last year. Light rain. Wind blowing like crazy. Cold as heck. Dayton comes out passing like there’s no tomorrow. Meanwhile one of the best if not THE best running back touches the ball less than ten times. Most being in the final few minutes of the game. It made no sense.

I am thinking PNG 35 or 42 Nederland 7 maybe 14

Poor Bridge City

Dave Campbells released the point spreads this morning. They have PN-G by 31. For those who don't follow.... they haven't gotten very many of them very close. They aren't Vegas, that's for certain.

In some of the blowouts, they put him at RB. Never played football, but he’s scored several TD’s. Just neat to see

Absolutely not the game should be played at either Nederland or Port Neches UNLESS a hurricane comes along THEN we can play in Pasadena😉

Where did I bash Langston as a person? I'm literally critiquing the job he has done as the Head Football coach at West Brook. On what planet is going 6-22 with two games left in your third year considered doing a good job? According to his job performance, he sucks! And, that WB team that went to state was underdogs in the regional finals, the state semifinals, and the state championship game, so thanks for proving my point about the lack of coaching at West Brook now!

That must not apply to soccer. Because the last few coaches there have all coached their players in club soccer at Dynamo and now Albion. Hmmmm???

Sounds like you're bitter about losing either games or kids to Kelly. LMAO... If my son showed the ability to be good at a sport and had the ability to play at the next level, there's no way in hell I'm letting him stay and play for a coach that sucks at his job. What type of scouts are showing up to see a team that loses a football game 71-0?
