WHEW!!!!

Last night was a reminder that political power is borrowed from voters, not owned by politicians.

I voted today just to cancel my wife's vote who early voted. She made the mistake of telling me who she voted for and then had the audacity to not bring me breakfast in bed this morning. I showed her. I be that way sometimes.

This might be the most vanilla game PNG offense will have played all season and still win by 50+.

Some of you adult men should be ashamed of yourselves. These are teenagers and they have fought to get back into this game. Embarrassing.

Thursday watching Huntsville vs Montgomery on the back porch cooking chili. Friday eating at Lercy’s Dinner West in Mont Belvieu then Nederland vs Dayton Saturday Lamar vs SFA tailgating. Menu is Fajitas and Tacos, margs, queso, hot sauce. Then 2$ beers at the game. Please come out and support LU!! Huge game!!!

Region 1 and 2 - Metroplex Region 3 and 4 Houston State - San Antonio

And anyone who distanced themselves from Trump was criticized and not nominated. Leading to awful candidates running in races and a lot of them are going to lose seats the right should’ve easily been able to hold.

Trump and the GOP own the results tonight. They had 2 years to show how awesome they were and they failed miserably! Affordability and Accountability is all the people that voted for Trump wanted and he failed miserably. I have zero sympathy for him and his cohorts.

Nederland should win. I like Dayton and they always play a great game against Nederland. The problem this season is Nederlands strengths are exactly Daytons weaknesses. Good Luck Nederland, and Good Luck to our Purple Brothers. Here is wishing a safe game.

There was a meme on Facebook that said "I'm going to respond to every campaign text the day after the election with "Sorry, just got this" 🤣

After giving it some thought and speaking with some other folks in the business (along with some coaches), I have made the decision to do team rankings of our coverage area teams here at SETXsports. I haven't done them in a few years but I think it's time to bring them back. I am not going to pretend to know everything about every team we cover here but I think I can put out a pretty accurate assessment of our teams. I will reach out to others (including some coaches) for input on some teams. These rankings won't be the "end all, be all" and I fully expect negative feedback from week to week. I have tough skin and invite any feedback to help give a more accurate ranking. These will be SETXsports rankings but in the end, it's just my opinion. Whatever that's worth. I will be doing the 3 poll system. Top 10 6A/5A, Top 12 4A/3A (more teams in this group), Top 10 2A/1A/Private. I thought about doing top 12 for all three and bring back the Dirty Dozen Rankings label. But for now, 10,12,10. I will post a Pre Season ranking on Tuesday, November 10. But, I will not follow up the next ranking until after Thanksgiving. Probably first of December. Then it will be a weekly ranking from that point until end of regular season. Most likely will come out on Tuesday mornings each week. These are the teams that are eligible for these rankings: 17-6A (Channelview, Crosby, North Shore, Humble, Atascocita, Kingwood, Summer Creek, CE King) 18-5A (Northbrook, Spring Woods, Kingwood Park, New Caney, Porter, West Fork, Splendora) 19-5A (Goose Creek Memorial, Baytown Lee, Baytown Sterling, United, West Brook, Dayton, Nederland, PA Memorial, PN-G) 18-4A (Bridge City, Jasper, Lumberton, LC-M, Silsbee, Vidor, WO-S) 19-4A (Hamshire-Fannett, Hardin-Jefferson, Huffman, Liberty, Livingston, Shepherd) 20-3A (Anderson-Shiro, Tarkington, Coldspring, Crockett, New Waverly, Onalaska, Trinity) 21-3A (Diboll, Huntington, Pineywoods CA, Central Heights, Newton, Pollok Central, Woodville) 22-3A (Anahuac, Buna, East Chambers, Hardin, Kirbyville, Kountze, Orangefield, Warren) 23-2A (Chireno, Garrison, Joaquin, San Augustine, Shelbyville, Tenaha, Timpson, Woden) 24-2A (Colmesneil, Big Sandy, Deweyville, Evadale, Hemphill, Sabine Pass, West Hardin, West Sabine) 28-1A (Brookeland, Burkeville, Chester, Goodrich, High Island, Hull-Daisetta, Leggett, Spurger) Beaumont Kelly Beaumont Legacy Please post any thoughts here if you agree or disagree with how these rankings will be done. Again, I want to hear from you guys. Any and all help is welcome.

There’s so many signs out everywhere I think I voted for a realtor. 😳

AAW, thank you. Very well done and much appreciated.

Congratulations @prepballfan for winning the regular season contest. This was the first time we've had so many perfect scores since I've been keeping track. 10 in total We still have 6 more weeks to go to crown the playoff and overall winners.

Here are the playoff seeds and their opponents for our coverage area districts: 17-6A D1 #1 North Shore vs. Deer Park D1 #2 Summer Creek vs. Dickinson D2 #1 CE King vs. Clear Springs D2 #2 Atascocita vs. Barbers Hill 9-5A D1 #1 La Porte vs. Houston Northbrook #2 PA Memorial vs. Houston Waltrip #3 Goose Creek Memorial vs. Houston Milby #4 Beaumont United vs. Houston Madison 9-5A D2 #1 Montgomery vs. Dayton #2 Huntsville vs. Nederland #3 Lake Creek vs. Texas City #4 West Fork vs. PN-G 10-5A D2 #1 PN-G vs. West Fork #2 Texas City vs. Lake Creek #3 Nederland vs. Huntsville #4 Dayton vs. Montgomery 9-4A D1 #1 LC-M vs. Houston Austin #2 Vidor vs. Houston Sterling/FB Willowridge loser #3 Huffman vs. Houston Sterling/FB Willowridge winner #4 Bridge City vs. Stafford 10-4A D2 #1 WO-S vs. Van #2 Silsbee vs. Madisonville #3 Hamshire-Fannett vs. Athens #4 Shepherd vs. Canton 9-3A D1 #1 Diboll vs. Buna #2 Fairfield vs. East Chambers #3 Palestine Westwood vs. Anahuac #4 Trinity vs. Orangefield 10-3A D1 #1 Orangefield vs. Trinity #2 Anahuac vs. Palestine Westwood #3 East Chambers vs. Fairfield #4 Buna vs. Diboll 12-3A D2 #1 Newton vs. Elkhart #2 New Waverly vs. Buffalo #3 Hardin vs. Teague #4 Woodville vs. Mildred 12-2A D1 #1 San Augustine vs. Union Grove #2 Shelbyville vs. Waskom #3 Garrison vs. Beckville #4 Joaquin vs. Pewitt 12-2A D2 #1 West Sabine vs. Tenaha #2 Colmesneil vs. Cushing #3 West Hardin vs. Grapeland #4 Evadale vs. Overton 1A D1 #1 Union Hill vs. Abbott #2 Chester vs. Aquilla 1A D2 #1 Apple Springs vs. Benavides #2 Calvert vs. Runge

Maybe Nederland plays like they did vs. Crawford and gets a road win @ Huntsville? These are 14-18 year old kids. Focus on what they did well. Down 20-7 and they keep competing for a road win. Find the positive. #10, #8, the defense getting a stop of 4th down to seal the win. This team could give you a bucket of gold and you would complain about the bucket.

2morehourslol might've been a better choice of name.

I would make Athens or Canton a favorite but HF certainly is capable of winning the game against either team. Again, I think it's ridiculous to say they can't win.

No team in SETX has a chance, you haven't heard??? 🤦🏾‍♂️

As concerning as I find it that Texas has a democrat for a governor, I'm behind just about everything she's pushing when it comes to public schools. If she can accomplish what she's trying to in that regard then some good will come out of all of this. Ending STAAR Firing Morath Auditing no-bid vendor contracts Ending the voucher program Pausing the accountability rating system 4/5 I'm 100% behind, and as for the accountability system, it needs a major overhaul if we're going to keep using it.

Ehh heard they had some poor coaching so idk 🙃🤣

I'm good with that. Let me get on the phone.

He already has. Said Abbott being a RHINO is why he lost. SMH That dude never takes any blame. Always passing the buck.

Go put that mess in the SFA thread. 😀

Would be nice to have two semi locations - Region 1vs 2 one location - two days of games, Region 3 vs 4 one location two days of games. The small school big school format makes it difficult if not impossible though so maybe 1a-3a sites, 4a-6a sites or any combo like that.

Instead of having them scattered across multiple predetermined sites, why not turn the semifinals into one big Texas high school basketball jamboree? Similar to what we already do for the state championships. But hey, I'm just here to complain. 🤭

Whatever happens, I'm just glad we'll get a reprieve from the constant texts, calls, TV commercials. Every ad accuses some candidate of being a pedophile, pedophile enabler, trans supporter, etc. You have to be mentally challenged to fall for this crap. Texans ought to be ashamed of the current state of our state politics and political leaders.

Texas won it's independence in Deer Park sir. Don't believe me just ask anyone from there!🤣

Big Ned will destroy Dayton as they dog walk them to at least a one point victory " no doubt" !

Its senior night, so I doubt it...I know LaPorte's HC is ultra-competitive and considering what happened to them last year in Rd 1 I dont see them taking anything for granted or turning it down Week 11

10-5A D2 Playoff spots are clinched and top two seeds are clinched. Here are the current standings: 1. PN-G (5-0) 2. Texas City (4-1) 3. Nederland (3-2) 3. Dayton (3-2) PN-G has clinched #1 seed. Texas City has clinched #2 seed. Winner of Nederland at Dayton Friday night will be #3 seed. Loser is #4 seed. This district plays 9-5A D2 in 1st round.

Final 52-23 Lamar Showdown next week at home vs. SFA

I would almost be certain he will be there. Him and Mason West as freshmen were unstoppable. Just have to get used to a different style RB. I don't mean in a bad way. This kid has speed and is dynamic. He loves to run downfield and make quick cuts, My niece is a cheerleader in the same grade. I got to watch them play. He is a different style RB than we have had in a long time. Trying to think of a past RB that's like him, but cant at the moment. When you watch his freshman season highlights he is cutting away from defenders almost every run. He can also take it outside. He has the speed and agility to take it anywhere on the field. He will be a special player. His brother is a WR on varsity, but is a natural DB which I believe he will be next season if I had to guess. He has played a few plays when we went though the spell were we lost so much of the team to a illness. He would be on O and then on D. He is a hard-hitting DB with speed to stick with his WR. They are an athletic family. The underclassmen are legit at PNG right now across the board in every grade. The size of the lineman O and D are huge. We will be really big in the trenches if not next season then the several after that. Our center who missed the season to a practice injury is 320-330. We also have Baby Manziel back, Ashworth back, and Mason West. A QB conundrum.

Fairly certain that everyone supports the kids. But at the same time can see when there is poor judgement and a very critical time to have a stupid (yes it was stupid) penalty. It was selfish but at the same time the kid needs to have the ball more. The parents, both, seem to be creating friction. Drawing attention to this thread, making posts on FB and taking all credit for the kid keeping the bulldogs in the game but not being able to admit that it was a mistake after that last TD. It’s ok to say it was a poor decision. Dogs have a decent wave of athletes and should do fine but man their parents are wild. Some of the same ones saying “don’t worry coach Barrow, we are in the way” a few years back. Them having a tree lighting ceremony for winning 8th grade district title. Let’s the kids play, teach them humility and team first. The coaches need to step up with culture, it hasn’t gotten better. And there is zero reason to have delay of game on a kick off, tacked on to the unsportsmanlike…also, tackle someone, PNG QB and TC RB looked like prime Barry Sanders

Reading these comments is beyond frustrating. I’m #13’s dad and have spent a lot of time around these kids at team dinners and other functions outside of the games on Friday night. They have a very tight knit football family and all love and genuinely support each other. The coaches have built and sustained that culture which I believe is the only thing holding this team together after the last two losses. To be successful, its going to take us as parents to continue to support this team in every aspect. Hollering at the coaches and screaming who to play and when needs to stop. It’s not helping. I know your intentions are good and we all want the same thing, but it is only causing fractures and division. We are blessed to have a group of kids like this that support and love each other as much as they do. Let’s do our best to continue to encourage that.

Finished 6-4 and made the playoffs for the first time in school history. Hope they hold on to this coach for as long as they possibly can [Hidden Content]

19-1 last two regular seasons Outstanding PA......

Anything on YouTube is better than nothing. I get that there are paid options, but I’m baffled why more schools don’t have something on YouTube for a little extra revenue.

There’s a ton of talented youth in this district. I expect it to be one of—if not the top—5AD1 districts in R3, if not the state next year.

They was like that the whole game… any flag against them surprise surprise. Commentator said something like I knew we had to play against both opponents coming into tonight blah blah blah. Talked about the fumble for a long time. Said something about refs seem to be flag happy against Huntsville. Just bad..

He was down… don’t let these commentators talk you of it lol. They won’t stop talking about it…

with all due respect, I've seen enough of your "expert opinions" over the years to actually feel better about our odds after having read this.

More than anything I think this vote was a referendum against school vouchers, with a healthy dose of Trump fatigue thrown in.

Democrats heading to the polls.

I think styles make fights and Lufkin has a style of play that I think can keep this game competitive. Similar to how the Westbrook game went for LaPorte. Of course we could look up and Simon has 200 yards and 4 TDs and its not very competitive. Outside of the Longview game Lufkin has been competitive in every game this year. United got away late and I believe Lufkin would beat United more times then not. It was just one of them nights where everything went wrong. Should have also beaten GCM. Its been a roller coaster season. Depending on which Lufkin team shows up. Im expecting a 4 quarter game.

Good thing a Yellow Jacket doesn't have hair. Because otherwise they about to be scalped.

Looks good. There’s no one better qualified for this task and knows Setx high school basketball any better than the guru.

Man, I think of all the players and coaches who have to put up with these comments. If you think negative comments helps your “team”, you’re wrong. To all the players and coaches, all teams have had games just like this. If not, it’s coming. Coaches, get your players together and tell them this was a tough loss, but that you and the fans are behind them. We’ll win the next one and make a deep playoff run. I don’t have a kid playing, I’m just a fan. Don’t take the negative comments to heart because they are not involved. Go Dogs!
