I had a local coach (whose team has played both of these teams) tell me a couple of weeks ago that this one may be a showdown of the best two teams in SETX. After getting absolutely punched in the mouth, the team comes out after halftime and proceeds to dismantle the Longhorns. If you know a thing about this sport, you know what it is when a team completely flips the script and dominates in the 2H. Almost always coaching. I’ve said this many times, WOS won’t likely have a coach anywhere near Dan Ray or Cornel the rest of our lives and probably ever. It’s insane how lucky they were to have them back to back. And in my book, CT is probably the 1-1 of Southeast Texas football coaches based on what he did as the DC under Hooks and as the HC when he retired. He was hugely responsible for all of their rings. You just aren’t going to get that again. Kalen DeBoers could be the best coach in the game right now and he still wouldn't be Nick Saban. Hickman is a first time HC that you would expect to make mistakes. Maybe a lot of them. But you also hope that he would steadily improve and take advantage of one of the unique football situations in the State. He obviously has. Consistently. It’s fine to appreciate the past and take pride in all that was accomplished. It’s also high time to move and appreciate what you have now, which is still among the elite programs in the state.

Its pretty clear to me Coach Hickman could walk on water and a portion of the WOS fan base would find fault in it... He is not Hooks or CT, nor should he be...he has to be himself and I do feel like he has grown tremendously as a HC the past couple of yrs...great comeback win for WOS

The Citadel is a FCS school like Lamar, SFA. McNeese, etc. Many FBS schools play FCS schools. LSU played McNeese this year. A&M will beat them very badly. I'm only going because it's Military Weekend and my daughter, who served in the Army/Reserves for 8 years, wanted to attend with her three boys. Just going for the atmosphere and time with the family. This game is secondary to me but my grandsons are excited about it. Good enough for me.

Everything is back in order,thanks you can delete HS stuff now-

I mean.. I'm not just a huge fan of the foot to foot, ground and pound, eat clock offense either. It's not entertaining. But. As far as small school standards go, Hardin is enormous. What would you recommend they do? I don't have a dog in the fight but after watching them for the 2nd year now, one has to admit that what they do is done very well. I was pleasantly surprised to see them spread it out on their last drive and be able to go the length of the field, although there was no other choice. But. I really wouldn't throw shade with the little league soccer comparison. Newton has more speed than Hardin (and most teams) will see on their schedule, but if a little league comparison is going to be made... it should be to Newton's special teams. 2 lost onside kicks... and zero PATs ? Seriously? Surely there's someone that can kick at least one out of 4 through the uprights after a score. That was the difference in winning and losing.

Nederland went from bye week, to Baytown Lee, Galena park.. if pulled starters from those 2 games early that’s a month without playing a full game…

Congrats to our own Mike Sanchez! Thanks for all the hard work and effort that you provide for this community and for SETXsports.com!

Put me in the camp that doesn't like this. Also put me in the camp of this not making it anywhere on my "give a crap" meter. What I think is rich, is the same side cheering on a leftist for assassinating a health insurance CEO in broad daylight on the streets of NYC, the same side foaming at the mouth because a lone juror didn't let a mother walk for savagely murdering her children, and the same side celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk and the attempted murder of the POTUS on live TV, suddenly has a problem with livestreaming the execution of a POS muslim extremist who murdered 13 US soldiers and injured 32 more. I won't watch, but I will be glad when that POS is sent to the pits of hell. I can only hope they rub the bullets in pigs blood before they shoot him.

This is a program building win. Your two wins away from making the playoffs in one of the best divisions in football in your first year in 6a as the smallest school in 6A. That's pretty darn good.

Former player from last year I asked said he's not liked by the soft ones.

computer rankings and picks should be posted today.....editor still working out the kinks in the new admin panel... most of the bad data on team pages and schedules has been cleaned up at least for UIL 11man since I did it lol....if there's something wrong w/a team page email me and I can fix it [email protected]

Let me make a few phone calls.

This team, coach and AD deserve support!

Game 38-35

I don’t necessarily want my starters sitting for half of three games in a row before starting a stretch against png, Texas city, and Dayton. Nederland might go as well as 3-0 in that stretch, but just as easily goes 0-3. Can’t afford a slow start just because the last couple weeks were blowouts.

Time to switch styles from blue to red LET'S GO BIG RED !!!

Battle tested coming thru.

Hardin going to state!

WOS literally just went to the state championship and we got people complaining about coaching 🤣

Well that about sums it up. There is plenty of video to back it all up. President Trump just DROPPED this nuke on why Texas needs to vote for Ken Paxton over James Talarico in the US Senate election "He Is For... State income tax for Texas Gun confiscation Abortion on demand Wide open borders Amnesty for all illegals S*x change surgery for kids Pushing the LGBT agenda in schools Men in women's sports and restrooms Packing the SCOTUS with leftist judges Abolishing the Electoral College Abolishing prisons and the incarceration of criminals"

I do know better. Bet on games all the time. Particularly ones where someone has Galena Park beating Nederland "by as many as they want". That's what we call in the business "fish". But it's very obvious you are trolling and you should know better.

Oh ye of little faith… Good win Mustangs

Free throws.

Another Utah Ute commit I seen (Richards)

I would have recommended Manny's but it closed down a few months ago.

UiW is a quality squad. Take the W and move on.

Stats at the bottom of the post. [Hidden Content] Before kickoff, the night was already special. Coach Forrest Wiegand was honored with his Greater Houston Football Coaches Association Hall of Honor ring. La Porte’s hometown heroes carried a massive American flag onto the field, and the LPHS Choir delivered another breathtaking National Anthem. The pageantry set the stage, but the moment the ball was kicked, you could feel that tonight was different. Winning the toss, the Bulldogs deferred to the second half, trusting their defense to make an early statement. And they delivered immediately, forcing a fumble on Port Arthur Memorial’s second play from scrimmage. One play later, the offensive line opened a huge hole, allowing Sean Simon to burst 35 yards to the house. Just 30 seconds into the game, La Porte hit the board first! The energy inside Bulldog Stadium was electric, but facing the #4 team in Texas meant a hard-fought battle was guaranteed. On the very next drive, Titan power back Piere Gray found the right edge, sprinting 70 yards down the sideline for a touchdown to tie it up 7-7 before a full minute had elapsed. Port Arthur came in boasting one of the top defenses in the state, allowing under 9 points per contest. But it was the Bulldogs' bend-don’t-break defense that turned the tide, repeatedly forcing field goals while the La Porte offense finished drives with touchdowns to take a 24-20 lead into halftime. And at halftime, there was no letdown there either! The Titan Marching Heat, Marching Flames, Chatos, and Mighty Bulldog Band kept the stadium pulsing with energy. The second half brought immediate adversity. The Bulldogs went three-and-out on their opening drive, and Port Arthur seized the momentum, taking their first lead of the night and demonstrating why they are ranked among the state's elite. After another stalled offensive drive, La Porte faced a defining crossroads. Punched in the mouth, how would they respond? Great teams answer the bell, and that’s exactly what these Bulldogs did. Taking full accountability, the players rallied to win play after play. Sean Simon ran with pure determination, setting the physical tone behind a dominant offensive line. Josh Wells displayed remarkable poise and growth under center, guiding the offense with confidence. On the outside, Smith and Wallace executed crucial blocks and kept the secondary occupied, while Reynolds came up big when his number was called, but his priority was neutralizing key defensive threats, and he did! "KD" Dieudonne provided explosive runs to keep the Titans honest, while Francisco Guzman and Tim Giddens anchored the line with the heart, grit, and leadership their former Trench Bullies would be proud of. Defensively, holding a team with Port Arthur's caliber and athleticism to just two breakaway touchdowns showed tremendous growth. Titan stud Brandon Richards has the kickoff return for a touchdown, but the Bulldogs did a great job of minimizing his impact offensively. The communication, scheme execution, and relentless "Dawg" mentality were fully present. You could hear and feel the collisions in the press box, and it was obvious La Porte wanted to set the tone. Paired with an offense averaging nearly 52 points per game in district play, this team proved it has all the ingredients for a deep playoff run. This victory was another major milestone checked off, bringing the program one step closer to its ultimate goals. As Coach Berneathy and his staff continually preach: when you focus on what you can control and win the single play in front of you, the results will follow. Overcoming tonight's trial embodied Coach Berneathy’s core belief, "Tough times create tough men, tough men create good times." Make no mistake: these Bulldogs are tough, resilient, and growing stronger every week. While this statement win carries huge momentum, the job is far from finished. The schedule now shows we went 1-0 for week 7. That is how it is supposed to be. You don't get bonus points because of the rankings. Our focus is to be 1-0 at the end of every week regardless of opponent. The Bulldogs now turn their attention to another proud and formidable opponent, Baytown Sterling, as the journey continues. Last night was what Texas High School Football is supposed to look like under the Friday night lights. Fierce competition, great bands, drill teams, cheerleaders, and proud communities showing up in support for the kids, and to enjoy fellowship with neighbors and friends. The awesome thing is we get to do it again next week as Bulldog Nation heads to Baytown’s Stallworth Stadium to take on the Rangers. Until then, enjoy this great weather, stay healthy, stay safe, enjoy your weekend and be ready to take this show on the road next week! Go Dawgs. Offensive Stats: 493 Total yards 378 Rushing on 45 Carries Sean Simon - 284 yards, 5 TD's Dieudonne TD's - 2 Rushing Smith TD's - 29 yard Reception Wells - 9/13/116, 0 INT

Not necessarily. You just have to know about this particular members posts and you will see what I am talking about.

🤣 4th quarter from hell tackling wise. That was the difference.

Not true. They continue to grow into what we have been expecting since day 1. They constantly have us questioning them. But then they do something like this. How could we complain after the adjustments they made in order to dominate the 2nd half. Hickman is in year 5 Hooks won year 6 Thompson 5 Gary Joseph 4 Jeff Joseph 2 Surratt 2 Just saying its still very possible. But this win is theirs. As i said earlier this week. H hadn't won in HF. Check another obstacle/milestone off the list. Keep on going. We're not done yet.

All I know is this, the dumb , inept, incompetent coaching staff that yall are always looking for any & every reason in the world to denigrate, just coached their team from a 21 point deficit, to a 14 point win. But it luck, bad juju, withchcraft , or maybe somebody kidnap all of HF good players at halftime. Once again, small , insecure people, will always be small and insecure, no amount of facts , logic, or reason will change y’all’s mind. Let me predict the future, if they win state , it’ll be because they didn’t play anybody, it was 100% because of the players, or the other team felt sorry for them

WHAT A GAME !!!! !score 42-28 FINAL Next week vs Silsbee

That's not a representative comparison. The districts today and teams they play talent wise or nothing like those teams of the past. Even La Marque isn't the same with larger pools and more schools. Our general area has remained quite the same. If we're going to pull in the other coaches, I promise they bring more of a discipline that would reflect through performance but that's neither here nor there. The other comment is just ignorant. You like to bring in a certain topic that screams low self esteem and ignorance. By the way, why did they win all of those titles a decade or so ago. Talent plus discipline equals domination. Now that's facts. What is the overall record of the current coach in a much weaker district and being in an actual classification that's correct for size of school compared to the last couple.....? That should settle this wonderful debate.

Defense made adjustments. Second half pitched a shut out. only score was a pick 6. So vidor O technically hung 70 (; 69 but rounding up sounds better😂

Haven't been challenged yet this season. WOS has.

Hands down they were… There wasn’t any coach in the world that you could’ve plugged in for WOS that would’ve changed the outcome

Injured Longhorn... prayers up

The only score Hardin will get tonight

Back to back wins for Crosby after back to back trips to the wood shed. Kingwood has been kind of the district gate keeper the last few years. So this definitely a big win for Crosby. Championship programs are built in a day. It takes a bit for everything to get aligned.

Completely understand. You need more fish and not sharks. lol

I would hope any defense would do that or better on the bye week.

But I don't have a problem. I win. My bankroll proves it and my book can reluctantly testify. 😉

Hey man! Remember me? Yeah that what I thought aa well. Looks like an Lincoln Bee(as in Bumble Bee)

But I haven't made my pick yet. That's the most important.

Should be a running clock situation

Don't think it is right to gamble on high school sports. You should know better than this being a moderator an all.
