Lufkin is ran by idiots and entitled parents. Literally seen a parent celebrating the coaching change on FB. His kid was literally one of the ones ejected against LaPorte. Lost count of the number of drops he had on the season too. Like this whole situation over spilled because of the personal fouls by Lufkin from that game. Earlier in the year they dont like the way the OC talks to the kids but after last week they want the coaches to rip the kids off the field by the face mask. Good riddance with this current SR class and their parents. If you're getting your head bashed in by 40 as freshmen its probably not going to change when you're SRs. They blame everyone but themselves for their kids being bad a football and then acting like punks because their kid is a sore loser. Abseck had the program going in the right direction..The new coach Will have a lot of pieces and talent to work with in the 9th and 10th grade classes. Oh well this is my rant. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

Big loss for Lufkin in my opinion, but there was no parting with his OC who was the issue with the district. Abseck complicity to not control his OC interactions, player discipline and laments with administrative people was the main downfall. Abseck did a lot of good getting the Lufkin program back on track, especially at the sub-varsity levels. He implemented other facilities improvements and was instrumental in helping to pass the bond for the Lufkin new stadium. Hard to figure the connection he has with his OC, because the two come across as polar opposites. I liked Abseck but keeping the OC around did not help this outcome. This OC scenario will replicate itself wherever he lands, the old saying "it's hard to change a leopards spots". No need to say more. I do wish Carl Abseck all the best success in the future.

You know, I like to play a little blackjack from time to time. I’ve studied the game a bit and done my share of observation at the table. There is a limited number of hands that are advantageous to the player on a double down bet. I’ve seen people make it a little ways doubling down on losing hands. I’ve never seen one leave the table a winner. No wonder Trump bankrupted a casino. The Miller double down might leave the whole Republican Party walking away from the table bankrupt.

Nor on your list and not SETX but North Shore will be making it's 31st consecutive playoff appearance Thursday night. 94'-26'

Idk if Lufkin will ever be the LUFKIN we grew up watching during the Outlaw Era.

Nederland defense is like a box of chocolates, never know what you're gonna get.

I know not part of your rankings but don’t sleep on Good Samaritan. I have seen them in one game and two scrimmages so far this year and look very good.

“This resignation is brought to you by Raceway Motors where we’re for the people!”…Seriously..good luck to the Pack on finding a great HC!

Carl Abseck has resigned as Lufkin High School’s athletic director and head football coach, Lufkin ISD confirmed Tuesday morning. In two seasons leading the Panthers, the team went 13-9 with one playoff appearance. Prior to his hiring by the Lufkin ISD board of trustees in a January 2025 special meeting, Abseck coached for four seasons at Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu, leading the Eagles to the area round of the playoffs each year. Abseck was the head coach at Cedar Park for six years before that, where he led the Timberwolves to a state championship, a state runner-up, and five district titles. “Lufkin ISD wishes Coach Abseck success in his future endeavors,” the district said in a statement. Abseck’s departure means Lufkin is looking for a new head coach for the second time in three years after having two men lead the program over the prior three decades. John Outlaw, hired in 1995, died in December 2011, and his successor Todd Quick retired following the 2024 season. “The district will focus its immediate planning on maintaining continuity across its athletic programs, addressing immediate leadership needs, and establishing a timeline for the search for Coach Abseck’s successor,” LISD said in the statement. After Abe Martin Stadium’s final game — a 24-14 Lufkin win over Beaumont West Brook — the team fell 42-7 in its 2026 season finale at La Porte. The Pack’s new coach will lead the team as it plays all 10 games in 2027 outside Lufkin. Four home games are to be played at Homer Bryce Stadium in Nacogdoches before a new stadium opens on the Lufkin High School campus in 2028.

I'm sure y'all know about this website, I just haven't seen it mentioned like Massey Projections is referenced most of the time. [Hidden Content]. These predictions have a clean sweep projected with LP favored by 60pts, PAM favored by 53 points, GCM favored by 46 points and BU favored by 28 points.

I do not disagree with you at all. Just remember this conversation.

True statement!! I'm from Warren and if you don't want to get embarrassed get better !!

Agree

WOS vs Van

That's hilarilous!!!

I look for this game to be similar to what has been going on the last few weeks. Large lead in the first half and then a number of backups getting more reps, with the starters getting rest.

BC vs Stafford. Deer Park

Thursday: Franklin vs Hempstead 7pm Rockdale or Columbus vs Academy 7pm Caldwell (will decide game day) Friday: East Chambers vs Fairfield 7pm Willis or Buffalo vs New Waverly 7pm Centerville (not sure how far I want to drive) Saturday: Tennessee vs A&M

Thinking about going to the Friday game in Willis

Sad thing is no matter who we bring in the same people complain about that coach too.

Thursday College Station High School College Station TX Lovelady at Granger Friday Strake Jesuit High School Houston TX Katy Jordan at Strake Jesuit

I think his son still coaches at A&M Kingsville. He might try the college ranks where he doesn’t have to mess with some of this other stuff. Never know.

Yeah because who would want to deal with all that. I get it the OC rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I will say that I never had a bad interaction with him and never had a problem with how he coached my kid.

Silsbee's results from their scrimmages last Saturday in Shepherd: 20 minute running clock halves Silsbee 13, Huntington 8 Silsbee 27, Shepherd 9 Silsbee 26, Cleveland 13 Silsbee is currently playing with 4 varsity players (1 starter). The rest are freshmen and JV players playing up. Silsbee is waiting on about 8-9 football players to fill out varsity roster (3-4 starters). The bulk of their scoring will come from this group. Silsbee will have at least 2 freshmen on varsity this season with one pushing for starting time.

The result of this game will depend heavily on how healthy Athens is.

I actually went to this game… Stafford opened the game on fire…I give a ton of credit to Silsbee for the adjustments they made because early on they had 0 answers for the Stafford offense. As much is said for the great athletes Silsbee has run on the field the past few years… Coach Smith and his staff do a phenomenal job

They both played Navasota, Vidor won and Houston Sterling lost 49-8 just to show comparison.

My first time hearing about that site.

That barbers hill game is going to be closer than people think. Atascocita is good, but they aren't as good as they have been in the past. BH can get this ine if they don't turn it over and make a few stops. On the defensive side of the ball

Brutal

WOS vs Van Friday night Back to Lamar Saturday

I like my team’s well. I simply post what I see is happening in a game. I don’t care if you like it or not it’s my opinion. I will post when they look good and when they play bad and IMO if they are any good and if they have much talent They were a very good team in 1961, their last trip to a state championship game. They were as good as Dumas, but unfortunately threw and interception in the end zone as they were going for the lead and lost 6-0. A very well played championship game

Huntington defeated Nacogdoches and Alto. Huntington/Bullard scrimmage was cut short with Bullard up three. Zavalla defeated Nacogdoches and Alto and lost to Bullard. Zavalla looked good. They will make some noise.

The 2012 team would have had a shot at a state final if the 5ad1/5ad2 split was how it is now

With the new stadium, and apparent upcoming talent, just can’t believe he’s out after 2 seasons!

What’s going on in Lufkin? City manager, assistant city manager and now head coach resigning all in one day

Silsbee's results in this scrimmage: Silsbee 48, Orangefield 39 Silsbee 34, Nederland 50

There will be a full changing of the guard in Lufkin. More as it comes out tomorrow.

Friday HF vs Athens in Bryan. Likely just a simple trip to the Texas Roadhouse in College Station after an oh so important shopping stop for the daughter. Wish my credit card luck.

winner will win 96 to 89 in a toss up.

Not one of the schools you have listed, but EC is on a 10 year streak. However, they did have a 21 year streak before missing out in the 2016 season thus making it 31 of the last 32.

Stafford has some size and speed… if your secondary tends to struggle then it might be a tough night…

Doesn't Dayton have like 12 sophomore's and a couple freshman starting on varsity, they will be fine, I think they are just getting started

I see Big Ned matching up with with Huntsville better than Dayton because of their front seven on D. I think H's big RB is better than Montgomery s OU commit but that's where Neds defense comes into play. H's QB is big and will run over people but from I see he isn't that accurate of a passer. I thinks comes down to run game vs run game . Should be a good game !

I've always said regardless of the two teams, throwing the ball up 50+ with 2 minutes left in the game is a bit much. Just my two cents.

The one consistent thing Trump has talked about is his legacy. He didn't care that he would loose control of the house over Iran. He claims it was the right thing to do. He knew if he lost control The Democrats would likely impeach him. He has a 2 month window to get all his military stuff done. He moved Susie Wiles to political operations and put Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff.....The Democrats are going to flip over that......I think he is going to try and finish what he started. I'm sure he has told everyone they will all get a pardon, so they will not be attacked after 2028. The next couple years will be one for the History books for sure.

Tried to warn him. @ThaGhost
