No doubt Atascocita has found itself on the ropes and knocked down on a few occasions. North Shore stumbled out of the gate leading many to think the long awaited downfall had come. But since that loss the Mustangs have bounced back in to form and steam rolled the competition. This rivalry is more than just Atascocita and North, but North Shore and Craig Stump going back to his time at West Brook..

Based on rivalries, district championships and playoff implications, here is a list of some big and important games for this week, Week 9: Atascocita at North Shore Cita clinging to playoff hopes, NS trying to stay in district title contention PA Memorial at Lufkin District championship on the line United vs. West Brook Beaumont Bowl, both teams looking for a playoff spot La Porte at Crosby Both teams undefeated in district play, a win keeps each in district championship position Lake Creek at Huntsville Winner has the inside track to the 3rd spot and possibly 2nd. PN-G at Nederland MCM, nuff said LC-M at Bridge City District championship on the line, winner stays undefeated Silsbee at WO-S Same as LC-M/BC, Shepherd at Jasper Winner gets a playoff spot, loser most likely out Hardin at Anahuac Hardin trying to solidify their district championship hopes, Anahuac trying to improve their playoff position Anderson-Shiro at Kountze Winner gets a playoff spot Deweyville at West Hardin Winner gets 3rd, loser most likely 4th West Sabine at Evadale District championship to the winner San Augustine at Shelbyville SA with a win gets district championship, Shelbyville looking to stay in the DC hunt. Getting down to crunch time. Lot's riding on these last three weeks.

9-4A plays 10-4A in 1st round. West Columbia, LaMarque, Brookshire Royal, Sweeny Would see 11-4A (Bellville, Sealy, Madisonville etc.) 2nd rd.

If you want to make it past the 2nd rd. You need to win friday night. WO-S or Silsbee is not good enough to beat La Vega in rd 2

I was going to update it but it wont let me edit. So I'll update it when I make an overall update next week.

Tie breaker scenarios rarely work in Port Arthur Memorial favor in football. I rather it not come to that.

YOU love him...... I know many who don't share your thoughts.

It's all Abt the running game. If silsbee can't stop w.o run game w.o wins. If they do stop it.silsbee will win!! W.o has to be able to run bcz, it takes coaching out the equation.bcz, the tigers are the better coached team.

I don’t think they’re playing.

Add we cant be one dimensional with the play calling. Jefferson had career high 243 yards with 3 scores vs Shepherd. Silsbee will be much better at containment.

Please be aware. Just now finalized the games. Had some corrections to make. Good luck

You are no keeper of peace. 🤣🤣

Who has there tickets for mcm?

I think whoever is 3rd in District 11 has the toughest playoff path in all of Texas. Potentially the path would be A&M Consolidated at their place round 1. Then PAM would be a fun round 2. After that you most likely will be rewarded with La Porte. 4th round Angleton awaits lol. Then defending champ Smithson Valley. After all of that, you made it to state playing Aledo/Frisco Lone Star/Highland Park. Legitimately I dont think anyone outside of the top 10 in 6A could go 6-0 with that schedule.

Most of Texas’ yardage came via returns. Establishing a run game would help Arch, and I know I have been rough on him, but some of his receivers were so wide open, I could have thrown the pass. Yards between the 20s and time of possession are almost useless stats if they don’t produce points. Kentucky gambled and lost. End of story.

Two observations. Texas is just awful offensively. It’s more OL than Arch (which if you know football at all, is obvious. Arch certainly has been bad but he’s never had a chance to pick up any momentum either. They finish 8-4 maybe 7-5 possibly. 9-3 ceiling and 6-6 basement. They could easily lose to Miss St next week, likely lose to Vandy, definitely lose to UGA on road, almost certainly beat Arkansas, and will probably beat A&M imo. A&M should win on Saturday because I’m probably going to Lake Charles and bet on LSU at +2.5 or maybe +3 depending on price (going so I can bet on Dallas Mavs over 41.5 wins - one of my favorite futures in a long, long time). Oh and Texas wins the SEC and goes undefeated in the SEC last year if Mason Shipley had been their kicker.

Silsbee is undefeated vs. WO-S in the playoffs.

my girl have a bad knee so i know we ain't going far. Not sure if we gonna travel well to Lufkin, but should have good viewing.

La Porte will need to avoid looking ahead to the much anticipated Angleton rematch next week, and focus entirely on Crosby. Crosby is good enough--and motivated enough--to make them regret it if they make that mistake.

Even with our all-star team...it would still be an upset. Those dudes are loaded over there lol

Nothing but a bunch of losers and that goes for the Jan 6 as well there was one of those king protest in nacogdoches today as well Beaumont Straight up loserville.

Texas had no business winning that game. But they did….

This, I guess. What an ugly win. Can’t remember the last time the horns won and I was this irritated.

That was some terrible play calls by Kentucky on the goal line.

That was stupid of Kentucky

The strength of Silsbee's defense this year has been their ability to stop the run. The secondary counts on the defensive front to get pressure on the QB to help them in pass coverage. Silsbee secondary has been the weak point of the defense. Also, Silsbee's grind it out, ball control offense helps the Tiger defense as well by limiting the opponents offensive possessions. Silsbee's run game has been very good of late which helps the play action. Silsbee offensively is getting better each week.

Silsbee and WOS have pretty much always had the same talent..coaching is usually lopsided between the 2…as it is now. I agree with DJ if WOS can run the ball they can win,don’t leave it up to having to out coach Smith!

I think WB could beat BH straight up

Cardiac Cards strike again

Down goes Tech. Wild weekend

This game had no business being this close. Cards almost blew this one. A win is a win, particularly on Homecoming.

If Lufkin beats PAM and then both win out, then they would be tied with just one loss. Lufkin would be #1 seed based on their head to head win over PAM.

PAM is the only 9-5A team that has clinched a spot winning 4 straight district games. Everyone else has lost ateast 1 game. Lufkin is the lone team with one L, hoping that changes next week to 2 L’s. PAM vs Lufkin is for the championship for PAM. A Lufkin win puts us in a tie, with PAM owning the tie breaker assuming they win out. They get the tie breaker because they beat barbers hill and Lufkin lost to them and we hold the point spread. I think I’m right.

Calling for 60% chance of rain Friday night in Lufkin and 60 degrees at kickoff.

I think we should forfeit spots 2-4 and send our all district team to face their 1 seed lol

Titan defense only gave up 7 points last night. Other 11 points came on kickoff return and two safeties. West Brook had less than 200 yards of offense. QB only completed 5 passes the entire game (well 8 if you count the 3 picks). Memorial defense is an elite defense to say the least. Titan offense will need to have a better passing attack if they want to make a deep playoff run. Some of the passes were drops, but both the QB and WR's will need to step up in the passing game to really make this offense a major threat. Run game is very good (particularly the QB). Oline is solid but WB is pretty light on the defensive side of the ball and not very physical. Titans took advantage of that aspect. Really like this Memorial team. That defense will carry them a long ways.

My once a year post. Last year I pretty Much laid it out how it ended. Trap game and PNG was super flat. I do think without that win last year, Nederland would not be super happy with their coach. IMO it has given them hope, other than last year’s win, Nederland doesn’t have much to be positive about. This year’s take is the same, but different. Trap game? 100%, but Joesph will have us ready to play this year. I do not predict a blow out, but I do not see Nederland winning this game. They will throw the kitchen sink at us, but in the end, little brother will remain little brother. I’ll take PNG. Closer game than most will predict. In the end, without uncle Larry, Nederland is the old Nederland. The rah rahs will say Nederland is better than they have played. Truth is, maybe, but Nederland fans have always lived on the Uncle Larry era. And that’s simply over. PNG for the win.. But on a positive for the Pups, at least you will get some state wide attention this week because of the rivalry aspect. You heard it here first. And if any have taken this post as negative, I do have a peace offering. We have a trophy case across the tracks if any of you would like to come see what relevance looks like!!! PNG….. Enough said……..

If Nederland had any type of defense I think it would be close but they don’t, so I am going to say PNG around 42 Nederland 7

If PNG wins, it's just meh; if they lose it's a slap in the face. Ned has nothing to lose, and everything to gain. Expect offensive trickery, defensive stunts, and never give up attitude. A fumble here, an interception there, a blocked punt, a bad (or good) penalty call or two, and you never know. Like 2 brothers, (or 2 sisters), 1 year apart in age, in a fight. You never know. Otherwise, if it was any other game, PNG wins easily.

50-22. Close enough.

6-0 record is nice, and I’m sure the community enjoyed the success, but this is where that soft 3A schedule can come back and bite you.

The state of Bulldog football is worse than what it was under last leadership…

If you’re asking me, the Teacher’s Unions & Randi Weingarten politicized the CDC worse than any one. They saw to it that all credibility was lost. When CDC never corrected the 6 foot rule, and let the Teacher’s Unions dictate policy, it became a disaster. I seem to remember Trump & DeVos actually saying they would withhold funding from schools that didn’t reopen. But, Weingarten and her TDS ilk in the other unions threw a hissy fit, and that was that. So, basically liberal idiots that cared nothing about kids used politics to destroy a lot of people’s faith in our scientific organizations, and the CDC nor AAP corrected them, even though they both recommended 3 feet & reopening schools.
