BH beats Friendswood in 3!

Maybe teams are tired of having no chance to win a State Championship because all roads end at Carthage.

so they go 1-19 the last 2 years and they want to find the easy way out. Maybe go find a new coach

I remember my first beer.

HJ and Liberty currently compete in all sports from junior high up to varsity against Liberty, Huffman, Livingston, Splendora and Hamshire-Fannett. Football is the only district that doesn't look like that. So to me if there's no rule against it and they choose to move up, let it be.

let’s be honest Lumberton won when Babin was there and made the playoffs in 5a, we dropped down and he made the playoffs in 4A. Then the best football group comes up as soph in a 3 year span who are really good athletes and they dominate. It’s not like Lumberton program was in bad shape when coach Reyes came in, Babin did a pretty good job reyes just runs a better offense that suits his personnel that he has right now.

Well the Qb grandfather was an all American and his dad was a great athlete hopefully the apple don't fall to far from the tree and the young man can pick up a win

My post was around more on what each team is trying to do offensively. My watch of BH is that they are more pass oriented vs. McNorth wanting to run the ball. Agree both will have to play in the elements, but some teams are better suited for adverse elements than others.... so goes the saying "pack your running game and defense"

They do. The broadcast starts about 15 minutes prior to kickoff. [Hidden Content]

Huffman over Bridge City in 4

If the team that showed up against PAM we good, but if the team that shows up against Porter, then we not good. Simple

I'm old school and I like just two teams going to playoffs. But, I'm good with 4 teams as long as every district has a minimum 7-8 teams. I don't like 4 teams going out of a district that has just 4-6 teams in it. A team should be required to win more district games than they lose or at least be .500 to get a playoff spot. I have seen some playoff teams only win one district game and actually seen a team go without winning a district game because they were in a district with just 4 teams. I could care less what a teams overall record is because non-district games don't factor in and some teams schedule harder than others in non district. But IMO, a team should have at minimum a .500 record in district play to qualify.

Well, can't say I didn't call it. I just wish I would've been wrong. Everything I said about us making the Joe Willis hire this offseason is exactly what played out. If you watched all the Tyler Legacy games I did this past offseason you would've most likely come to the same conclusion as me that him going 2-8 last year and backing it up with another 2-8 this year isn't a coincidence. Before the season started I said "This isn't Cedar Park", meaning all of the built in advantages that he had there or even Colleyville Heritage, do not exist at Crosby. People on here that know absolutely nothing about our program had strong opinions on my remarks regarding why I don't think the hire "fit" Crosby. I said he was an older, lower energy CEO type coach that didn't fit our culture. I said he ran a system that didn't fit our personnel and actually exacerbated issues Riordan and Prieto covered up so well, like good coaches do. We've kind of always been on the lower end of the the participation scale. I said before the season that if kids and parents didn't like what they saw that they would just transfer out to one of the other nearby schools, and they have. Depending on how convicted some of the other parents are to their remarks I heard them make this year, we could be looking at a major exodus of talent from the lower classes over the Spring semester and Summer. I didn't comment all year because there was nothing positive to mention and there was no point in running the coach down every week for things that everybody could turn on a game and see themselves. It was the worst play-calling we've witnessed since Flannigan, the worst scheme we've seen since Flannigan and the worst personnel moves we've seen since Flannigan. This is magnified by the fact that no assistants wanted to come work for Willis so we have a bunch of local guys with very little actual coaching experience to help mitigate the issues. I think Willis is a good coach and I can see the end intentions on a lot of the things that didn't play out the way he thought they would, but he's an old coach set in his way and convinced they'll work. Not sure how long he's going to be here as I've heard he was only given a two year contract but what I will say is that outside of him finding the easiest non-district games he can for next year, I wouldn't expect Crosby's record to look much different than it did this year for the foreseeable future. *Today Crosby votes on a new $85M bond for another elementary school, a second middle school, an expansion of the 5 year old high school and general facility maintenance. Bond says they expect Crosby ISD to get 5,000 new students by 2033 meaning a projected high school enrollment ~ 3,800. Basically the new alignment will be the last two years Crosby has to try to be competitive before going in to the 6A abyss. Sad state of affairs what an administration can do to a program but here we are, had some fun times though.

Nope. I spoke to a UIL official a couple of years ago at state basketball tourney. That is not happening.

[Hidden Content] sad when people jump for joy on the right to murder babies. I wonder if these same people leaped for joy when Hamas decapitated babies.

Hey, better than last year. You never know what will happen. That's why they play the game. Could it be a butt wippen? Heck yeah. Go in there dogs and play loose. Go in there as if you own the place. You might wake up some old echoes.

Anyone that thinks it's WOS wanting to move up should consider our overall athletics record over the past year and a half. We would not be #1 in 4ad1. Maybe top 10 for 3ad1?

You know we can all look at a picture and see something different and that's understandable. I have always been an follower of football and have not missed a PAM game since they came into existence, and yes I was at the Mud Bowl, almost jumped in the mud with them. With that said, I have seen all the Coaches that came through PAM. PAM is average or good because of the Athlete's that have come through. When we match up Athlete for Athlete is when coaching comes into play and we cannot compete. That's when our weaknesses shows up. Just go back and watch some of those games and really look with an open mind and you to will say, Damm why he did that or called that play. Hope we win Friday night and yes I will be there.

Lol…. I hear ya. I doubt they get a crew outside of the metroplex due to the number of games and availability. But they will be fair because it is not Longview…😉😎

Where I work has nothing to do with this, and I didn't think this was a right or wrong situation. It doesn't affect me in anyway. Schools across the state have opted up for years. I'm called biased for my PNG background and now HJ lol. My parents went to TJ. Grandparents to Hemphill and Orange. So let's throw some more in there haha. We'll leave out the cousins a HF, Bridge City, etc.

This is true... Well just making sure you haven't forgot L town is still lcms puppy more times than Not....most would take the 23 vs 8 for sure I'm not very good at math though lol

Living in the past doesn't suit you. What happened this year? 🤣😜🤣😜

so all in all might be a coaching thing at HJ because they do have athletes

So BC and Smalley are bringing another slot-T team to the district and Hiawatha wants to opt up ? 😬

Exactly! It’s not about making excuses because both teams have to play in the rain, but running teams will have the advantage. Like the LaPorte /Lancaster game, advantage LP with their misdirection ground and pound.BH is better equipped this year to play in games like this, but last year in PAM I knew we were toast. The rain also kills our home field advantage a little just because a lot of fans will opt to stay home than come sit in a turd floater to watch the game 😂. Anyway I just hope safe travels for all the playoff teams because I’m seeing rain from morning till night.

What if it’s Silsbee and WOS to avoid that Carthage, Gilmer, PG, Cuero? 👀👀

That’s what I was thinking, maybe WOS and Silsbee?

If UIL allows that to happen it will start an epidemic of teams opting up to avoid certain districts.

They are neutral. Some Lobo fans cannot let go. Yes you will have a few phantom/missed/bad calls that may go against you but that comes with playing in someone else's home.... ijs

I could've been successful with them. The difference is those coaches from the previous era would have this group in the semis. Just like last year when we were picked to play Carthage by the experts at DCTF

I'm feeling a little upset brewing give me the bears 27-21

Just to be realistic PAM was always built on hype and unrealistic expectations. Combining tj (average to mediocre) Lincoln (mediocre) sfa(mediocre). And somehow expecting at championship at the 5a(now 6a level was laughable) we was put in districts that some times deerpark lp north shore wb had over 1000 enrollment against us. Pam fans complaining about Morgan and even Kenny ray . But before those two with the exception of Jamaal memorial had always been a if every thing go our way we might make the playoffs squad. Kenny had 2 wins 2 one tds loses to ns and he was still labeled Xbox (who in the state can say this) he’s realistically the best coach to have going against north shore he elevated Pam went to sc and elevated then also. Morgan had not missed the playoffs and he’s still considered the weakness. At what point do we stop blaming coaches. It’s hard to get 4star players to believe in the system when everyone is telling them it’s not you it’s the coach. Most don’t know why this player who is better fit at this position is not at said position. It’s a lot more than coaching that’s keeping Pam (good to mediocre).

Westbrook (0-1) 25 Silsbee 18 Halftime Westbrook 38 Silsbee 31 End of 3rd Westbrook 61 Silsbee 43 Final

It was not a very fun experience lol

Woodville has this one

Heard rumor today that Smalley was heading back to his roots at Bridge City at the conclusion of this season / semester. Don’t know whether that is true or not..everyone knows how rumors are. Either way , I think he makes them wait another week. Give me Orangefield in this one.

Ktz 64. WOS. 32.

OF - 66 PNG - 28

Wishing yall luck! A buddy of mine’s daughter plays for Chester

3-1😂

Doesn't bother me really. The better teams generally go further and making it to the 3rd or 4th round and beyond is something to be proud of. The 4 team playoffs let us watch more football too which I am always a fan of. Then there's the occasional upset from a 3rd or 4th seeded team. That's always exciting to see. I've thought about it both ways, and I truly don't see a big downside to it. Let 'em play. No harm, no foul.

Don’t the Mustangs have a kid headed to Texas Tech or he has a offer at least?

Hef had 19 tonight to lead the Ags in a blowout win.

Nederland could keep it close. If they can win in the trenches and control TOP they have a shot. If Lake Creek looks at the record and thinks they have it in the bag, they may be in trouble. Remember last season when they were blowing people out until the met FBM and were humbled real quick. Different areas of the state play different brands of football. Hit ‘em in the mouth Dogs

(1) UIL collects revenue from playoff games. More games = $$ (2) I like four teams in, and more teams solves a couple problems while not depriving the playoffs of what makes playoffs great. In the old days, teams were often punished for being in good districts. In 1999, state-ranked Nederland team sat at home because West Orange and PNG beat them. Both West Orange and PnG made good playoff runs, and it’s reasonable to expect Nederland would have as well. Far weaker teams than Nederland across the state made the playoffs because they were in weaker districts. I see the dilutive effect of adding more teams, but only if “making the playoffs” is the prize I’m protecting. But, our goal isn’t to see who can make the playoffs. Our goal is to arrive at the best team in the state via a single-elimination tournament. More teams doesn’t hurt that, and there have been four seeds who made it really far (I want to say some have made it to state because I remember hearing that from Dave Campbell’s, but I don’t know for certain).

Well. We’ll shall see if Orangefield can pull this off. what do OF have to loose they should try something different.

I’ve taken to calling it the South County Showdown. And I hope it continues in future predistrict schedules.

I passed on some small bucks and small doe the coyote s and hogs have wrecked havoc for me this year. the pond (watering hole) dried up so the drought changed their patterns. Have nt seen many shooters (meaty) this year.

North Shore and PAM had a pretty competitive rivalry back in the day. And it was because of North Shore that Titan Stadium has turf.🤣🤣
