I expect PNG to win this by 10-14 points....I'm not 100% sold on Montgomery yet...

I think this is the elephant in the room that no one wants to address. There are so many people that work crappy jobs to support themselves and their families and never think getting government assistance. Yet there are TOO MANY that just accept Government assistance. We somehow have to convince people they will he happier and have a sense of pride when they work and EARN a living..... My Father taught me several things, but his most important were life lessons......here are the ones that stuck with me (that I also taught my Son) 1. There is no embarrassment in having a low wage job - embarrassment is when you have no job. 2. When you are at work, if there is nothing to do, grab a shovel and dig a hole......when you're done, if there is still nothing to do, fill it up. Repeat until there is something to do lol 3. Never place your hands in your pocket when you are at work, that is a sign of lazy. So basically his thoughts were there is no reason to not have a job. He worked an instrument mechanic for "Gulf" and very good at that job. When they would strike, he would go work at the Orange Rice Mill slinging sacks of rice off the trains, or work at a body shop, painting cars. He was a worker! THAT is the mentality we need to establish in 2025 - too many people expect things for free and the Government has also been a player making it too easy to get free stuff.

I was going to go to Montgomery-PNG, but I understand that game is going to be a blowout. So, I’ll probably go to Nederland-Huntsville. Rather see a closer game.

Landon Smith - Senior combo guard at Brookeland - special player if you have not seen him yet Three time District MVP, Three Time TABC All Region Team, Two Time TABC All State Team Will surpass 3000 career points early this season and will become the All time Leading scorer in the history or Brookeland Basketball Career Record as a starter at Brookeland 87-23 (41-1) 27 points, 4 assist, 7 rebounds, 3 steals per game last season

"travel"

Some people need to realize that everything that happens is called “life” and there is not always someone to point the finger towards. Lots of things in the private sector affect everyday ups and downs. Blaming Trump for anything and everything is the easy way out. I’ve had to beat the bushes several times in my life, but I didn’t whine about who was President.

I don’t think Montgomery being at home is going to be a factor. PNG has only lost two away games in the Joseph era (20-2 overall)(that’s not counting neutral site playoff games). Our last loss away was to Port Arthur in week 1 of the 2023 season. Our last loss away to a 5ad2 team was in September 2022 against Fort Bend Marshall. None of that has any effect on this week’s game, but it’s to show that this staff and team do a good job overcoming whatever a team’s home field advantage might be.

Woodward didn't give Jimbo the extension. He left for LSU and people thought he would steal Jimbo, so we freaked out and guaranteed his entire contract.

Also, no job is beneath you when you have no job.

One thing people are seeing during the schumer shutdown is how many people rely on the government for food. 3.5 million Texans alone will lose food stamps. In a state of 31 million. 11% of Texans rely on federal money to eat. That is not help and assistance, that is lack of drive and will power for one's self and family. Living off the government has become a career for many (not all but many). As with everything the government touches it cannot properly oversee and run things. And they want to oversee our healthcare.

If you listen to Holton Pepper on TV, it sounds like OF is the team without much of a chance on Friday. He said 3A all goes through EC, and he didn't even mention undefeated, state ranked (likely) District Champ Hardin. LOL

You always say people’s words back to them. How childish. Use your own words. Anyone who thinks this shutdown is on Trump is off their rocker. Dems will allow people to suffer, then finally give in and say, “Look how we saved all of you”. Dems, the resistance party.

Looks like some folks can figure out who’s responsible for the shutdown instead of being told.

Is this some kind of reverse psychology lol thats far left

Yep. It was a 6 point game last year.

I don't think OF will have an issue with EC or Buna. But I also think that Hardin won't have an issue with CS or KV. So..

The last 4 years we definitely seen who depends on government 😂😂😂

Like I mentioned above…. [Hidden Content]

Dont give up. 3 phases of the competition... 1> Regular season 2> Playoffs 3> Overall

Some folks have to have a scapegoat for their actions/ misfortune.

Whatever it was. Its not working out well for them is it? 🤣🤣🤣

I'm reasonably well-connected out here at HF and haven't heard anything about this. But hey, you never know I guess.

I dont see either of them opting up. Those schools don't run from competition

In bold: nope. Also: We have 3 shutouts in district play, no Memorial defense has ever had that before.

Strange because people are spending money in stock market right now

W 9 Fairfield F 10 Anahuac R 12 Hitchcock T 11 Troy W 10 Hardin F 9 Crockett/Diboll R 11 Academy T 12 Yoakum W 11 Franklin F 12 Hallettsville R 10 Orangefield T 9 Westwood W 12 Columbus F 11 Cameron Yoe R 9 Teague T 10 East Chambers Only thing I'm not sure of is who gets the 4 spot in district 10 Big games this week in this region Fairfield vs Westwood, Yoakum vs Hitchcock, and East Chambers vs Orangefield

From AI: The US economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.8% in the second quarter of 2025 (April–June), according to the final third estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. This marked a significant upward revision from the initial second estimate of 3.3%, driven largely by stronger consumer spending and business investment. It looks like for the 3rd quarter, which will be released October 30, we are looking around 3.9%. Remember when Yobama said our economy will never again grow above 2.0%? He was just trying to let his sorry policies, and him, off the hook!

You can’t change their mind. They just ignore the facts, live their own beliefs, and want to be left alone. You’ll probably get a deflection like a but, but Epstein or money to Argentina. Cry about fuel costs and they’re coming down. Illegals are killing the trucking business. Don’t care about everyone, just their own skin. It’s a difficult time for libs, but we can’t feel sorry when they did it to themselves with anti-American policies. Made their bed, now lie in it.

I could not see them opting up for travel reasons, would HF be opting up to get away from Silsbee?

I simply said I think Woodville will lose in round one. I also said I hope I was wrong. Woodville lost a very good coach. I do not see Woodville being much more than a average team under this regime .

Oops. No doubt Coldspring can ruffle some feathers this Friday, but I like for Hardin to put this one away by halftime.

Trash was when inflation was 8% and higher today it is 3%...... Some things are still high, but somethings are still reasonable.

Do everyday workers have a 401K? Wal-Mart , Lowes, Home Depot, Starbucks, Family Dollar, Dolla General - they all have 401K's - market should affect them.

Yes, Lynch didn't retire until mid 2000's I think.

updated through week 9

If Spurger pushes Brookeland I’d be kinda surprised

Don’t see a lot of info yet probably will be tomorrow, maybe this evening before the UIL has the brackets updated.

I believe Jimmy Johnson brought most of his staff from the Miami Hurricanes. He got Norv Turner from the Rams and he turned out to be one of the best OCs ever. Some coaches are best at assistants and make terrible head coaches.

I also hope the Texans win the Super Bowl.

I guess EC has no chance of beating Orangefield. Might as well not play the game this Friday. Please let me know soon. I was thinking about coming to that game.

Since all of us taxpayers are funding this government, can we all get a refund for the shutdown?

We’re talking about Trump, not biden. Try to keep up.

He did that with Wade Phillips and said Jason Garrett is your OC… I agree let the head coach build his staff

Denied. Neither are opting up. In fact, from what I hear, WO-S could possibly be close to 3A DI numbers. I don't think they will drop.

Yoakum is at Hitchcock this Friday 10/31. Should be a 14 point win by Hitchcock, but would not be shocked if it were closer.

Great idea. Hope it works out for you.

Its never happened before but I think Hardin gets to the 3rd Round

Memorial will never trail and it’ll be on cruise control in the second half. This team won’t be challenged until the second round. Key word challenged, not beaten…

BH has won the District at least the past 5 years, maybe more.
