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.

Would assume being 1-2 with EC and Orangefield left there is little chance of Tarkington getting in this year, but very little question about the arrow pointing up for this program.

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!

This is what any of them don't get!! They all on this site always think everyone be against the coaching staff. We love them all as a person.but, the coaching has no discipline at all! All the unsportsmanlike penalties and all the penalties as a hole.great teams doesn't do some of the things they do.and that's why ppl are so critical of the staff!! It's not Abt the past !! It's Abt now.west orange still will win. But, been sooo undisciplined doesn't make sense

Just received approval for us to broadcast the game tonight. Aaron Ward will be on the call. Broadcast link should be provided in game thread posted later.

It's in the works for SETXsports to broadcast this game tonight. Waiting to hear back from BISD for the approval.

10 turnovers is not being out coached. Regardless of who is coaching, it is very very difficult to win with 5 turnovers in a game. I believe #0 fumbled 2 times each in those two games. Anahuac deserves some credit. They ran the ball very well and was very opportunistic on defense.

Chandler Rome is claiming the new GM will be allowed to hire the next manager. Not sure what to think about Espada. The ingredients to cook with the last few years definitely didn't match the better rosters over the past decade or so. Some of the ingredients are outdated and some new additions were/are off brand items at name brand prices.

This day in age there's really no excuse. I started working with our kicker this year, and he learned how to kick off of tiktok and was all-district last year. with a few tweaks this year he's borderline D-1. He's naturally talented, and natural talent helps a lot, but there's a soccer player at every school in Texas who could be at least decent with about two weeks work.

It was not because of his/her shirt, it was because she disrupted the rally. She could of worn any shirt and it would of been the same result. He/she got exactly what she wanted to happen.... Oh, and I am as interested in the Epstein files being released as everyone before Trump.....and he has released more than anyone....

Silsbee has improved throughout the year, and common opponents are a fool's game, but based on what HF and Silsbee have done against common opponents, and based on what I saw the 2nd half from WOS last Friday, I think the stangs win this one by more than people think. Once they started switching coverages and bringing the heat our QB was seeing ghosts. With Silsbee's QB being a pocket passer, I have a feeling he's gonna be under pressure all night.

I got Beaumont in this one.

Have people already forgotten Nederland's impressive win over Almeta Crawford? Kept it close until the final minute against a stout WOS team. Saying they will lose first round is taking away from how well those boys can play. Yes, their competition has been lacking the last couple weeks, but they have done their job and handled business.

Free throws.

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 🤣

It was his ankle. He is pretty tough so I'm concerned for him. Huffman's lack of depth is rearing it's ugly head. They are having to put their two best offensive linemen in on defense to stop Lumberton's run game. They are getting tired and are less effective on offense.

Don't let Soulja see this. 🤣

Halftime. 64-0 Bellville over Katy Harmony. UIL needs to do something about these charter schools and athletics. edit. 71-0. Interception for a TD to end the half.

[Hidden Content] Coverage area teams in this week's rankings: 6A #2 North Shore #7 CE King #18 Summer Creek 5A DII #9 Montgomery 4A DII #8 West Orange-Stark 3A DII #7 Hardin #8 Newton 1A DI #1 Union Hill

I agree.

I won’t say it’s a “must win” for the Rays, and here’s why…..this guy is nuts. Went to one of his shows.

Lamar ranked #10 this week in the Stats Perform FCS poll and #8 in the coaches poll. SFA ranked #3 in both.

I doubt if any team from this district gets past the first round, just my opinion, and hopefully I'm wrong. But anyway, if I didn't indicate it in my previous post, my comments regarding pulling starters has nothing to do with preventing injuries, but getting everyone on the team some playing time. With a 35 or 40+ point lead, start mixing it up and get everyone onto the field and in the game. It just ain't right otherwise, to the kids or anyone.

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

Like I said, this was possibly for the district championship.

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

HF fans hollering at the WOS coaches in the box was a bad look and extremely uncalled for behavior. Anyone that wants to defend, feel free. However, they (coaches) had done nothing wrong. The coaches handled it extremely well and I commend them.

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.

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

No going back. There's a game being played now.

Well… about that lol

Yea, they probably would have won it with past coaches. Facts or facts. These districts are weaker...
