I think the computer is giving MLC a lot of credit for running up the score against already defeated teams. They don’t play defense, and their offense isn’t nearly so good against even decent competition. I normally don’t feel confident going into a playoff game, but I think we’re going to embarrass them.

Picked up a ticket myself I'm sure yall won't mind a Bulldog cheering on the Indians😄

I’m usually optimistic, half glass full kinda gal, but I do get passionate about HS football have v always loved it. I get angry when refs cheat or when a player tries to take another player out. Love it more than College even pro. There’s nothing better than being able to root for your team in the stands, screaming soo loud you have a headache or a sore throat the next day! Good times 🏈

For what he has to work with, LSM's head coach is doing a good job.

Josh Dobbs majored in Aero Space at Tennessee and was the starting QB. Now the QB for the Vikings.

I compared MLC record from last season…they BLEW OUT everyone and went UNDEFEATED right up until 3rd round when they got PUNCHED in the mouth by 11-1 FBM!! So I feel strong that history will repeat itself except it’ll be the 11-1 PNG INDIANS who PUNCH THEM IN THE MOUTH!!

"Starting" = playing regularly, in my way of thinking. For example, there are linebackers that swap in and out, and rotate who plays the initial series. Perhaps the same with some of the linemen. But I know what you mean, and agree. Against Galena Park pretty much all of the defense and offense were back-ups to the back-ups, playing various positions. #11 was QB, eg; and I didn't know who the defensive linemen and linebackers were, and neither did the press box, he was just announcing numbers, and no names. Shea returning has given the team a new spark, and the seniors can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I think they are ready and anxious to get onto the field against this #1 ranked team and get it on.

I got mine from Tractor Supply. PHD= Post Hole Digger

The traffic on the website for this week’s playoff game during the first hour after sales opened yesterday apparently crashed the system for a few minutes. The online vendors these schools use just aren’t accustomed to this level of community support.

Lovejoy can run the football too Lovejoy's size is going to be a problem for SOC I think this year Lovejoy gets by SOC

lol, little league coaches. Classic. Your telling us that no coach ever goes away from his original game plan in the middle of games? Yep, this the BH DC.😂

Thanks for updates

The neighbors are always welcome! Bark LOUD!

Yeah not sure if Silsbee shouldn’t just not show up due to the 3 NFL backs for Bellville or if Bellville should just stay home because of the greatest show on turf the tigers are rolling out

No these are first round draft picks for the nfl

I love this. In 2012 I was at the regional semis and quarterfinals for Nederland. Even wore black and gold. It was a great time, especially that last touchdown pass against Pearland Dawson - one of the top sports experiences of my life. The crowd went ballistic.

Yup just stop the run… that’s all you have to do… stack the box… know your assignments….focus on the run… it’s that easy. I’m trying to be polite but can we please stop throwing Vidor in the conversation? They aren’t anything close to Bellville. If Vidor can be used I wanna throw in the fact that Madisonville was averaging almost 400 yards of offense a game and finished with around 60 total and negative rushing Friday night as well as never crossing midfield. I always agree with 99% of your post btw big fan 😂😂

And to hell with all of y’all for forcing me to defend the tigers.

probably so. our defense is terrible.

Brandon Prouse and his staff have quietly been building a program in the 'Ville. He has changed the culture since he arrived. These are river bottom kids who've had many obstacles to overcome between the 2 River floods and countless hurricanes back to back to back. They have a certain toughness and he knows how to Coach that dog... Discipline is on full display as the kids enter/exit the field, hat under the right arm and single file down the sidelines. After the game the entire team and coaching staff went to the 50, raised their hats for the opposing school's song in a show of respect and then all huddled up and prayed together. That's exactly how it should be. Congratulations to The Pirates team, staff and community!

+1...it's high school football in Mid-County...the talent comes and goes. Things will even out and circle back to where Nederland has a few years of talented kids with size and speed walking the halls. Then, all of a sudden, Monte Barrow will be a great coach again. Right now, the Indians are riding the wave of talented kids, good size on the OL/DL, and excellent coaching. Anyone who has watched PN-G and Nederland football since the 1950s knows that the good times and bad times swing back and forth.

The real studs are on the softball team !! Who won back to back state titles !!

Did yall win the game tho sir😂😂😂

To me they're perfect number. I think they stay d1 for awhile

Jasper was maybe the best defense Silsbee played all year. #4 Smith is a monster on both sides of the ball.

Yes Silsbee won against us. But what's Bellville got to be afraid of? The past two years combined they scored 47 pts. winning by a total of 4 pts . yeah sure, if you going by when they played BC they probably come across as the unstoppable force. lmao. you need to change your username from CardinalBacker to Tigger.

Ordinary admonitions about respecting opponents, not being overconfident and preparing accordingly aside, I agree with the assessments about Montgomery Lake Creek making themselves look more unbeatable than they really are by running up the score against subpar competition. That being said, “embarrass” is a strong word. Will we expose them? I think so. Will we embarrass them? I’m doubtful. I feel confident picking the Indians by one possession, but no more than two.

That is an awesome attitude and a great post. But dude...the trash talking is where it's at. Hell, most of these guys don't know how to respond to anything else! Lol.

Silsbee

Agreed. The district's top awards didn't make sense, but neither did the team selections. My gripe about the OPOY going to GCM is that they also had the Setter of the Year and Coach of the Year. If you have the top two offensive awards and coach of the year, you shouldn't have to have a play-in game for 3rd/4th, you would expect a team with those attributes to be markedly better. Honestly, anyone who watched all these teams knows who had the top offensive and defensive players and which had the top coach. Congratulations to GCM, though, but if the snapshot numbers in the Football forum are valid, these could be the last big volleyball awards they see for a while.

Some of that could have been the demand on the site. MCM is a different animal than a regular game or even a playoff game as far as people wanting tickets.

Appreciate the updates . I couldn’t make it to this one.

Revoke visas and send them home

Other than Silsbee/Wb…BU don’t play local teams in the area outside of District play. Memorial isn’t on schedule this year and Hj hasn’t played Bu in 3years.. Go look and see how many games local teams have played and this is Bu 3rd game..Already have to travel to Htown for most games.. played in Dallas on Saturday. I think it was a fill in game and it turned into feel good game for just about everyone.

Also Brazosport is 4A D1 so Silsbee only play one 5A… other than that nice work

Aren’t you from LCM?

I'm gonna be watching this while calling the Silsbee/Bellville game. Lol. Hopefully I don't screw it up.

I just choked on my freaking…uh…beverage.

I have three kids in my neighborhood that played last year and I just asked them why they didn’t play this year and they said it was because of the coaches. They had a whole lot to say. This would have been their Sr year

I think the RS from BH was the best RS in the district and could have gotten Newcomer.

Yep, that is all Silsbee has to do is stack the box. Every team BV played this year has defensive coaches that know the same thing. In fact, they all tried to do it. All Bellville has to do bash Silsbee into oblivion like they did to all the teams that Silsbee struggled with. Smash them on the line of scrimmage and run straight over them. Then overwhelm the Silsbee offense with physicality. It is Bellvilles game to lose.

You are correct, it is not little league coaching to strategize to stop the opponents best weapons, but it is little league coaching to assume that strategy was not part of the game plan coming in. I assure you, the entire BH staff knew about the biggest weapons on the Richland team as of late Friday night of last week and were scheming to shut them down. That plan was in place and wasn't properly executed. Sometimes, the other team is just better than you. Do I believe Richland was the better team overall? No. Do I believe they were the much better team in the second half and executed their game plan to perfection? Yes. Blowing big leads in the second half is indicative of players who take their foot off of the gas and aren't up for the challenge of fighting back to the accelerator when they get punched in the mouth. Richland proved they have those types of kids, BH has proven several times this year that they don't. Abseck's biggest challenge in the offseason is trying to produce a little dog in his guys so they know to put their foot on the neck of a downed opponent and finish them off. This point was illustrated by highly criticized 2 pt conversion try in OT. It was the right call because Abseck knew what I knew while watching the game, if the XP was kicked, and Richland was given possession, they would've scored and punched in the 2 for the win. BH's only shot of winning that game was to put it in a position where Richland couldn't control the ultimate outcome of OT.

Indian headdresses in NYC 😬. Stay tuned

Jasper and Silsbee are about in the same boat. Dangerous underdogs.

256-232 = 24 She missed week 9. You had 24 that week. So what is that really saying?

RG 21 MBG 18 She kicked FG as time expired

I definitely agree that Lake Creek is a little overrated with the 1 ranking. They look good and they like to run it up on bad teams. Their toughest opponent this season I’m sure is Richmond Randle. That was a pretty close game until LC erupted for 21 straight points in the 4th Qtr. However, Randle had over 500 yards of offense, and LC won the turnover battle 4-0. Huntsville also had a 17 point 2nd half lead after punching them in the mouth early, but their defense tired and LC got the momentum back for the comeback win. PNG needs to key on bowling ball Byers and keep him in check at the line of scrimmage. Don’t let him get a head of steam or he is hard to bring down. I think when LC meets the physicality of PNG, they won’t stand up. Wouldn’t shock me if PNG runs away with it. Wrong team is #1.

16 returning starters, 22 seniors. 8 first team all district players returning. They’re going to win it in ‘24. And why do y’all keep saying that WOS transfers help LCM, name 1 player in the past 3 years(Peevey) that transferred and made an impact? Or even got to play for that matter.

Can anyone reasonably doubt that if Nederland had PNG's coaching staff that Nederland would look DRAMATICALLY different?!

Badabing, anyone who has watched PNGs size difference the last couple of years and still says the kids are the same, is blind or stupid. Ned has had superior lines in the past when PNG has not, this is high school, you don’t recruit size. You can improve strength which Ned needs to focus on, but PNG owns the line against most 5As in the state right now
