Watched this HBO Documentary a couple nights ago. I thought It was pretty even handed as far as disinformation on both sides. First half is more focused on the Right and 2nd half on the Left. The basic takeaway is that the internet and foreign entities are using social media/internet to divide us and it is working very well. This has made the division so wide that the outside disinfo is now being propagated by not only foreign influences but also by domestic sources that have bought into the past and present disinformation. Don't shoot the messenger! I just thought some of you folks might be interested

I wonder could that particular strand of covid-19 can reach to us (11 miles) away from Shepherd if any of those student athletes just happen to come through Coldspring... And God bless the ones that do have it and may He remove it quickly as it was entered in them

Interesting comment. I would agree that in comparison to the last couple of years, Silsbee's offense has not played well. The defense on the other hand has played well. But when you get right down to it, Silsbee is 5-2 on the year with their only losses to then #2 Pleasant Grove and #2 WO-S. I would think most teams would take that record.

It's too bad that computer ranking doesn't change the outcome of that Deweyville/Horsemen game. 🍿

Come on Bro, Ball used #22(mind you he is a BALLER) because they thought they could get strong run game from him. (and they did) With our #41 missing the first half but, man when he got in the 2nd half he and the rest of the D clamped down.

Starting QB, safety, will return kicks and punts, will be the kicker and the punter, and even hold the clip board during his spare time! I seen him pulling an 18 wheeler uphill both ways in the cold rain last night! LOL

Vidor is on Texanlive.com this week! Glad their showing the big game but more importantly Senior Night!

Grandview and Brock will be tough to beat.

Lol, yep. That was just to irritate the Bulldog faithful. If I had a dollar for every time Vidor beat Ned, I still couldn’t afford a Starbucks coffee. 😂

That's OK, you can "reverse the curse"...LMAO

Current QB is a Jr. New kid is a Jr. This offense is almost all Jrs and one So. I'm not sure how he will be played but the current QB plays safety until they get a good lead. The new kid plays safety also. Even if he is just OK, it will give some depth at a two demanding positions. After this game I am going to write one of those overly long posts about the development of the offense and some wrinkles I have seen develop in the last couple weeks.

may be closer than one thinks Dubois does a super job getting them ready to play and Silsbee has not been playing very well this year

that's why I don't make score predictions for my teams, I'm usually horribly wrong when I do.😅 hope you have a speedy recovery from your surgery!

I'm not even talking about ethnicity at all.. just living condition. A kid that has a healthy diet, ideal living conditions, the financial backing to travel the state/country for speed/strength/academic camps, does not have to work summers and weekends out of necessity, and has a seemingly endless support system will come out better than an identical kid (height, size, age) who doesn't have those. Again.. there are always exceptions. And there are plenty of kids with access to all of that who are average or worse athletically.. but money plays a huge factor. There have even been studies done showing such. I read a very interesting article recently on the differences between Austin Lake Travis (I think) high school and Austin High School. Two schools within miles of each other with polar opposite football success over the last however many years. You can go look at the student parking lots of each school and see some very vast differences without even seeing the teams.

oh you got me on a typo how many times did you misspell believe? do you even know your username is spelled incorrectly?

I think we should bring #55 in for offense for any 1st and goal scenario.

Yes, do you remember Pelosi, Cuomo and many other Demicrsts calling Trump a xenophobe and racist for banning travel from China? Pelosi and DeBlasio encouraging people to go out and party. Do you remember those things? Don’t pin ribbons on any Democrats for their actions. Trump realized the problem well before they did. And if one is honest, no one knew (knows) what to do. Don’t wear mask - wear mask. Even recently, WHO said you shouldn’t shutdown the economy. In Beaumont, 75 people have died, and all but 3 have had underlying conditions. It’s obvious that if you’re young and healthy, Flu is a bigger danger than Covid. If you’re older, and/or have underlying conditions, you should avoid contact as much as possible. It’s not rocket science. Well, maybe it is for Democrats.

I see what you TRIED to do HOWEVER, you're point is invalid since EVERYONE except you knows that BU were in their SECOND year last season. Nice try though🤣😆😁

Uh. Ok...

They are under control? Hmmmm.

Son of a..... just our luck! You guys got yourselves a regular Bobby Boucher.

Also true. In my opinion, they should all be based on an individual player's performance over the duration of a season. Just like I believe the district MVP isn't always the best player on the best team. Sometimes, sure. I look at it like this: If the district coaches were putting together a team to play other districts, who's the one they pick first? There's your MVP. If a region was putting together a team to play other regions, the ones selected are your all region team. Same with all state. And I'll be honest, not all publications are the same...but it should be similar. If they're going on statistics of a player. I do understand that it's possible to exaggerate the stats of someone if they play weak competition but on the same token, it's not a player's fault if they're good but on a bad team.

Depends on what all state team publication you are speaking of. The AP is strictly based on regular season, not post season. The DCTF is generally DFW region driven.

Of course that's the first priority I was just saying in general

So.. I'm glad that the region/state accolades are somewhat selective but as mentioned before, the spots seem reserved for the deep playoff teams. Mostly. Perhaps it's just laziness. I know what it is with the district picks.. it's trying to keep parents happy. Unfortunately, that mindset is rotting society. I don't even really think that all district is that big of a deal anymore. It's too watered down.

Also.. 20+ years ago they didn't have every starter and most of the bench making all district.

The “Smart Phone” is the root of all evil. Give me back 4, 6 and 12 and my news in the morning paper. Divide and conquer is the mantra the media is peddling. People’s critical thinking skills are dulled by spoon-fed media. Whether you watch CNN, MSNBC, Fox or any 24/7 outlet they get you hooked on the fact that the sky is falling. It’s falling because we stopped working with each other, communicating with each other and started drawing boundaries around everything. “Agree to disagree” is a phrase that needs to be resurrected and practiced. When something big happens over here you better be looking over there because the media and/or our government is hiding something. Skepticism about everything is what I believe in.

Anahuac vs Diboll - Thursday 10/29 @ Cleveland HS - 7:30 pm

Ok lol. I’m pretty sure Evadale’s QB will remember Aguirre. He had 3 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 6 tackles for loss. Honestly I’m not saying Bland is not a really good player. He’s an impressive athlete with great size. He’s just not the player Aguirre is from what I saw. Easily a first team all-district pick at DE for sure though. If Aguirre doesn’t win overall district MVP it’ll be a travesty. No other player in the district has that type of impact on both sides of the ball.

The first thing to remember is to not take any team lightly. PNG needs to play every game, and for that matter every play, like it is the last of the season. Only way to win big, on a regular basis, is too give all you have, all the time!!! Coach Ethridge drilled that into the heads of his players during his tenure at PNG. Defense needs to make tackles, period!!! Offense needs to execute plays, period!!! If you give all you have, no excuses need to be made, Win or Lose!!!

I hope you guys won't be affected by the virus especially we need you guys to be ready for the playoffs

Well, there is a distinction that we need to remember which will provide a measure of relief to Bulldog coaches, players, parents and supporters. The Pirates have lost several players to contact tracing, which means that they have come into contact with someone who tested positive...sometimes that was a fellow student....sometimes it was a family member in the player's household who tested positive. While there was one in the program who tested positive early in the school year, to this point none of the players who have had to quarantine due to contact tracing have ultimately tested positive. Now, of course we will see if that trend holds as the current batch that are in quarantine probably have not received the results of their tests. But it sounds pretty good for folks on Friday night that came in contact with Pirate personnel.

And Bland couldn’t hold his jock strap much less block him one on one. #5 didn’t have to go against him on defense because Aguirre plays RB.

Aguirre is hands down the district MVP. He’s a top 3-4 offensive player and the BEST defensive player in the district by a mile. Watson should be the front runner for offensive MVP and he is a solid defensive player. Aguirre hasn’t been blocked one on one that I’ve seen all season and he’s probably nearing the 800 yard rushing total too if i just had to guess. He’s about 6’2 230lbs and is a force on both sides of the ball. Victorian actually might get some run for that too but it’s doubtful since he’s a freshman. I know we’re talking about district only competition but I’m pretty sure he has about 12-13 rushing TD’s, 4 receiving TD’s, 5 interceptions (two of those returned for touchdowns) and a kickoff return for a score. Kid packs the stat sheet every Friday. And i wouldnt Be surprised at all if Aguirre is all-state at DE.

Do you mean like homophobe, xenophobe, deploreable. racist?

I have only watched some clips of Crosby this year, but will be surprised If they don’t get up for this game. Coogs at home wanting some payback I just hope BH brings it this game.

Thank you for reminding him, though. Although I would say that the standings in 12-4A-I might be a bit deceiving at this point. La Marque, who is tied for first place has played neither Sealy, who they are tied with, (they play them in Week 11) nor Bellville (they play on Friday night).

I am sure it is drilled to these RB's but it seems like the players that do this scrambling are imagining a 3 foot bubble around the defender that if they enter that bubble, they will get tackled. Have you seen the tackling out there? The best RB's that seem to hit the hole and fly are always brushing past arm tackles and whiffs. Run at 'em and then brush past them! Vidor seemed to always have kids that ran at the defense. If you were a bad tackling team, they could run all over you.

One cut an GO NORTH! It drives me nuts seeing these running backs run 15 yards east and west to gain nothing over an over an over again! Make 1 cut an get your 3 yards instead of running a 15 yard sprint to gain nothing! Just getting 3 yards will help the offense stay on schedule an make getting a 1st down more manageable plus save their legs.

just make one high school than this will not be a problem!!!

I would ask Timpson or Joaquin. Their last week is a bye week. As others here have indicated, there are a lot of coaches who don't want to risk injuries right before the playoffs. Yet, there is a school of thought among coaches that they don't want to stop any momentum with an off week before the playoffs. It is worth asking.

In past years, I’ve seen Vidor put up more points in one game than they used to in a whole season. Surely they can go back and look at the blocking schemes and plays. Put a few passes in and bam, it works again. They’ve tried this new snap and it ain’t working. Put QB under center and let the misdirection begin. 🙏

They say you’re bad luck. Lol. I hope it’s not true. Lol

Not only that, what other playoff team with a bye that week wants to risk injuries a week before playoffs start? Only way I see that filled is if a non-playoff team has a bye that week and hasn't played a 10th game, if that's even possible.

Sorry, this is tad more than a headline. WO-S uses bye to hold Friday night practice: Dan Hooks stadium was filled to COVID allowable capacity Friday night as the Mustangs held a bye week practice. The workout was aired by Texas Live and KOGT as well as being the game of the week on local TV outlets. Coach Thompson says, "We've got to be ready, this region is a landmine, what with Jasper and the University of Carthage and such. Even Silsbee seems to get an attitude after district. It was strange though, the offense couldn't move on our defense and the defense couldn't stop our offense."

I've never seen Galena Park but I have seen Galena Park North Shore

I was impressed watching Newton. They are very good team. Hemphill in my opinion just doesn’t have a good enough defense to beat them. I think Hemphill offense will be the best Newton has seen in district. If Hemphill’s offense can move the chains and keep Newton’s offense off the field that will be key. If not look for another blowout victory for Newton. I believe this will be an exciting game to watch hopefully not a blow out. Both offenses are very explosive looking forward to watching this one. Good luck to both teams

I have no great expatiations for this Bronco team - I think they are well coached but lack the man power to compete with teams like Crosby who was bigger and better than us. That being said our defense did a respectable job and at least stifled the many home run passes Crosby attempted. During the first half our skinny little RB did a good job at penetrating Crosbys defensive line.- We will get better !

Not sure yet. Probably will be what volleyball is currently doing. I did see where UIL is probably going to allow tournaments for baseball and softball this coming season.
