Trump - Trump - Trump, at this point what difference does it make? Here’s the deal, I want to live my life, support my family, be the best Christian and American I can be. If he is indicted, impeached, convicted or acquitted - I don’t care. If he is the nominee and Biden is the Democratic nominee I’ll vote for Trump. The news is propaganda, almost all politicians are dirty, and until our country turns its heart toward God and away from the things of the world we will continue to separate and drift apart.

Game day almost here and despite what I see in the prediction poll, I honestly think the majority have BH winning because that’s the outcome they want. I feel deep down a slight majority believe PAM will come out ahead. Just my take. Both teams are talented, well coached and I can’t see PAM being a worse matchup for BH than LaPorte. All that misdirection and a very good offensive line has worn BH out for two years straight. The injuries with key run stoppers didn’t help but not sure it’d changed the outcome. I see PAM as more of a threat at having big plays, not the consistent, long, clock eating drives BH saw with LaPorte. Not to say PAM won’t have long drives but LaPorte depends on these to win the game. BH and PAM both have the ability to consistently score quickly with a slight edge to PAM. Also, I think BH this season has a total three or so interceptions, with two being against LaPorte. They typically do not turn the ball over but if PAM can put pressure on the QB and not allow big plays downfield, it may be a long night for the hill. On the flip side, if PAM comes in underestimating this BH team, they may quickly get punched in the mouth. Despite some minor weaknesses, this is the best BH team I’ve seen since I’ve been following them. They need to show they can overcome some adversity to make a good playoff run. This should be a good game.

Me thinks MHS will have a little added motivation Friday night after what I saw last evening.

On a serious note. It’s a far cry from the old days. Waking up, reading what Bob West or Tom Halliburton wrote up Tuesday through Friday. The area coverage definitely isn’t what it once was. The rivalry is a lot calmer than it once was… I had a hand in burning some strategic letters on a certain field. But this game never goes as planned, other than the Ethridge years, Malone years, and Neauman years. So I expect it to be a battle from beginning to end. No prediction, because this game is simply unpredictable…… I do think it’s a huge game for Monte. But we are getting closer.

Only to burn them after the W. Waste of money 🤦🏾‍♂️

Went a whole decade without winning, hasn't made the playoffs in over 30 years, got a first-year coach who came in the offseason with less than 11 players, now has 40+ kids, is 7-1, dominating most other HISD schools and has several international students interested in playing football. All it takes is the right coach to revive a program. [Hidden Content]

But it's still 2nd to the Jasper/Silsbee rivalry.

I can't find one single issue with the statement above...

***** BREAKING NEWS ******* This just in from CBS (Chester Broadcast Station), Chester will remain firmly planted in 1A.

Lol. You know my problem? Idk what Gen Z, Millennial or even Baby Boomer even means. It’s kinda like saying people act a certain way because of their zodiac sign. I’m not going for it. Lol.

It’s Mid County Madness Eve! Remember to put out 5-gallon cowboy hats and cigars so Bum Philips brings you presents.

I was out shopping and heard some Bulldogs in a panic saying…”Grab all the baby powder, flares, water hoses, a iPad to Google Indian rain dance, PRAY for another MONSOON and for the love of God, CALL UNCLE LARRY cause the TRIBE is COMING and we need ALL the HELP we can get!” 🤣🤗🤣

Atmosphere

That is hilarious I must say

And we can’t forget Vidor vs Nederland. Not only the most intense rivalry in Texas, but the greatest love story of all time.

WOS vs their own Coaches? Bridge City vs winning?

I would like to say is how about that Tiger defense. Basically, shutting down the high-powered offense of HF which is a tough thing to do. Stopping HF not once but twice inside the ten-yard line. Once forcing a fumble on the five and once just denying them on the six-inch line. A team coming in with most passing touchdowns in our district and giving up zero and holding their passing game to over one hundred yards under their game average. Keeping their rushing game under one hundred yards. Keeping their high-powered offense to just one touchdown. A job well done Tiger defense. TigerNation!!!

I told ya’ll Meadows would be the key to Trump’s demise. He got immunity for his testimony before he even got charged with anything. Already testified three times before a federal grand jury. When the Consigliere or the Underboss flips, the Don is done. Sammy Gravano and John Gotti ring a bell? Trump uses mob mentality, but his non violent tactics ain’t gonna work in a criminal trial.

You still celebrate it, how could one forget 🙄🤦🏾‍♂️

I mean picking Tarkington to win the district would fit the thread title lol

I got a address in silsbee

Ah yes, fond memories of the stupid days of Nederland pouring black paint on the quadrangle totem pole we used to have outside & PNG just as stupidly painting windows purple at their high school. Stupid youth with costly pranks!

Yes and no. They graduated three starters and unfortunately they lost another starter to a moving to another state. Out of the kids returning, one kid started half the season last year and will be a senior this year. One returning starter from half of the district games and the playoffs. The other three kids starting will be Juniors returning from more sub roles from last year but this group has been playing together for a while and have a real feel for their roles. I definitely see where the skepticism is coming from. But I guarantee you anyone in the district and area know about this group. They've been playing good basketball since they were in 7th grade and had last years starting lineup not been so senior heavy, they would have had been more impactful last year. Also to justify going from third to first. Look at the top two teams from last year. New Waverly lost everyone from their varsity roster except maybe one kid who did not play much if I remember correctly. Their JV, barely beat our JV and our JV, well was missing ALL of these underclassmen that were already on varsity. Crockett, I probably have beat that dead horse. They lost maybe the best player of the district and two additional solid players. Maybe have a couple move ups from JV, but hard to step right in and make an impact if you haven't played Varsity basketball. Again, just my opinion.

Question, where besides political left wing hacks has it been confirmed Meadows "flipped"? Specifically what evidence does meadow's have that Jack does not? I mean, the left wing judges allowed a pretty broad search warrant to search and collect evidence in Trumps home, and those same judges stepped all over attorney/client privilege,,,,, Again, what does meadow's have that would be trumps demise? and BTW, Agreeing to cooperate in a trial is not flippin.....

What I'm saying is that there is so much time between Week 2 and Round 4 that it doesn't matter. That's literally 12 straight weeks of probably blowing somebody out.. 12 weeks of starters not going in past halftime.. 12 weeks of playing zero situations that are gonna be seen deep into the playoffs. Does it matter that a close game was played several months before? In my opinion, no. So who cares if WOS drops the game going forward..

QB Bearden is a tremendous athlete.

First... this game may still happen if Newton wants to continue. 2nd.... playing any other 3ad2 team from our area would be a no-win situation. But not Newton. We want to keep this game for as long as we can.

You not even sick, sick in the head maybe. 🤷🏾‍♂️

You’re welcome to him and trust me Dayton knows about the green grass we’ve had 3 buddy buddy coaches in a row instead of the most qualified/ best fit and we’ve seen the results of those decisions. Just because you beat teams like Galena Park and Santa Fe (no offense to those teams) doesn’t mean you are “out of the crapper” either.

Interesting matchup

Man o man. The plot has thickened. I was told by a super reliable source, that Ned plans to suit out, Sumrall, Mosely, Driskell, Seay, and put Sullivan atQB. Complete Athlete was seen making the jerseys for them. Word was Uncle Larry asked Washington to suit up as well, but he declined to watch the PAM game. If this is true, and I’m sure it is, this might be a ball game.

Timpson never did much of anything until Therwanger got there

[Hidden Content] From the article: The FBI maintained more than 40 confidential human sources on various criminal matters related to the Biden family, including Joe Biden, dating back to his time as vice president, according to information obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley. The confidential human sources "provided criminal information to the FBI relating to Joe Biden, James Biden, and Hunter Biden." Those confidential human sources were managed by multiple FBI field offices across the nation—including the FBI’s Seattle Field Office. But Grassley learned that an FBI task force within the Washington Field Office sought to, and in some cases, successfully, shut down reporting and information from those sources by falsely discrediting the information as foreign disinformation. That effort "caused investigative activity to cease." Gotta love the FBI's management style...sweep it under the rug ignore it...unless it's Trump.

Two tier "justice" system. Hunter, Joe, and the rest of the corrupt Biden administration will never really get prosecuted by the corrupt-to-the-core AG Garland. Might give out some traffic tickets or jaywalking fines, or something like that just to save face. Russia or China probably has a more honest justice system than the USA has had for the last 3 years.

But: atmosphere atmospheric whatever that is 🙄🤦🏾‍♂️

Or Vidor! Lol

I just hope ya’ll remembered to run electricity to the press box so we can charge our ipads

Silsbee/Jasper. This one goes back farther than any in SETX. The most intense rivalry and there is no love lost. The stories on this rivalry will make your toenails curl and you can’t make this stuff up.

The Silsbee-West Orange-Jasper triangle has some of the great local rivalries.

In 2016 Shelbyville had a RB named Octavian Burrell (RIP) who singlehandedly carried the Dragons to the quarterfinals were lost to Lovelady on the last play of the game 14-7. Without him they wouldn't have made the playoffs. Kid was a stick of dynamite.

I feel if both teams pick the right coach and start winning, the athletes will stay. Probably have athletes walking the halls right now that would/could contribute.

I ran outta likes. +1!!

It cycles. Something will change and one or both of the Beaumont schools will get better. The sad thing is Beaumont Central used to take the locals schools behind the woodshed all the time. Even Ozen got its licks in sometimes. It’s weird that combining them made them worse. And we all know Westbrook can be better than they are. The pendulum will swing one of these days and we’ll be talking about another Westbrook playoff run. But, Beaumont ISD administrators needs to get off their self-serving, myopic, arrogant butts and hire a real coaching staff, not just some guy who used to coach in Beaumont who everyone is friends with.

Didn’t go this year but from watching the live feed and what I heard from PNG Band parents…both Drumlines and students were chanting stuff back n forth at the end and a lady who I suppose works for NISD got on the mic, said “This is supposed to be a camaraderie NOT a BATTLE” and shut it down! Everyone was pretty confused cause for one it’s actually called MCM Drumline BATTLE and other than a bigger crowd and students being a little more rowdy…it was pretty much the same as last year and kids seemed to just be having fun …idk! I thought it looked pretty tame compared to the stuff we did back in the day….lol!

To be the man you got to beat the man. KV has been a surprise this year but I'll take OF in a close one.

Depends on the first drive. If Orangefield can start firing on all cylinders then OF will win. i don’t know if OF can overcome a lead from KV. We shall see. Its a HS game for no telling what will happen or what team (either side) will show up.

Said it earlier in the year, and I’m saying it again….until someone proves that they can beat Orangefield in this district , I will pick the Bobcats everytime. This is still Kirbyville who lost to Anahuac, and we have seen the downfall of Anahuac in recent weeks in the district with three losses to (Ofield, EC, and Buna). Orangefield just continues to win. I think Kirbyville will play tough but not enough to secure the victory.

PNGs offensive line and running game is too much for Nederland. The stingy PNG defense wont give up points easily. As a Nederland fan this hurts to say but... PNG 42 Nederland 21

Imagine if they had not lost # 32, and #33, both would be All State Line Backers.
