It all starts here. Both teams have strong chances to play 16 games. 98 Newton only lost 1 game but still won their championship. Guess who? I could see that happening again this season. Here's to no injuries and giving us a reason to head to At&t a day early again. Good luck to our friends up north the rest of the way.

Nope you're listening to the Scott Rich Nederland team who cant finish games

Crosby bigger badder and better than Dayton . Dayton could have made it more interesting by not fumbling two times in the red zone in the first half. I do like our QB play but he needs a lot more help from supporting cast. ( little sophomore brother play the whole 4th qrt. will be good next year) Looking good Crosby - good luck going forward.

its the first game of the season, most teams aren't going to look great. Lets see if there is improvement next week before making judgements.

You will still need to post scores in the game threads that will be provided. We will not be using the Bot system that we have used the last few seasons. So for now, no more posting scores with the algorithm that was needed to make it update the game thread title and the scoreboard. We are still trying to work out how we can make the scoreboard automated from folks posting the scores in the individual game threads. That is still a work in progress. At least for the first couple of weeks, the scoreboard may have to be manually updated by one of our site admins or mods. Also, at least for this week, the thread titles for the game threads likely will not show updated scores but just the finals. Please be patient with us as we work to get this as fluid as possible.

There's a reason Hooks and Barbay started this in the late 80s. It wasnt to boost win % or rankings. These 2 teams test each other early and often. 2014 was one of those that taught WOS alot about what it would take to make it all the way. Point is it almost always a tuff game no matter the final score. Upsets happen in rivalries. I think of another word. This is more of a "respect" game. We both trying to play in Arlington and support each other along the way.

I’ll be at all of them, too. Got a kid twirling, plus I’m doing some coaching at HF this year and will be a little more present at sporting events.

Tip of the cap to PAM. #21 is a solid RB. He runs north/south with a mean streak. Stop fooling around with the QB/RPO package and give #21 the football. On defense, #10 and #45 were difficult to block and disruptive. #72 was a load in the middle. Nice call by the PAM staff on the TE pass. Heavy run formation, then hit the TE behind the defense. Well done. Good first game. PN-G got better as the game went on. They made some mistakes in the first half but played tougher and better in the second half. Lots of good pieces to work with this season. Good luck to PAM this year. GO INDIANS!

Just hope he stays healthy with all the carries.

Good game stangs!please beat Carthage!! Yall are definitely ahead of schedule from last year!.. I think we are soild for 3a2, Eagles are reloaded!!

Not sure which call you have a problem with. Spiking the ball down the field after a sack is a penalty every time. Grabbing not once but twice when the corner was burned is a penalty every time. Outside of that there were not many calls made..

WB looked about like Lumberton...

Massey for me is starting to make me feel the same way I think of MaxPreps. 🤷🏾‍♂️

That's interesting. We'll see, of course. What will be extra interesting will be the QBs play.

[Hidden Content]

Houston giving up 7 runs against the Yanks and still winning is saying something. NY had the best team ERA in baseball coming into this game.

10 plus years out of coaching and have seen 2 or 3 regular season games the entire time. All changes this year with a sparkle and glitter daughter on the sidelines. Yippie, I say with absolutely no enthusiasm. HF hosting LaMarque for me at what will be the first of what I fear is quite a few Thursday and Friday nights messing my MLB TV. Kinda looking forward to it, but don't tell my child! Will leave updating to bullets.

Yeah that went out the window once Beaumont ppl started yappin their nonsense 😁

WB QB fast scrappy but likes to throw a lot doesn't hurt he has a big athletic TE to throw to. Over all a well rounded well coached team on both sides of the ball. This was a true scrimmage unlike years past under Jerry Stewart when all scrimmages were like live games and Dayton always played to win. So it's harder to get an accurate assessment of either team. Un like WB Dayton split time between starter and backup QB . Starter Jerry jr. coaches son is a SR. will be a game changer high football IQ with athletic ability to match. Passing game was crisp with several go to receivers our offense will be hard to stop this year. Young sophomore RB will be transitioning to his starting role and is developing nice had a nice run up the middle for a TD in the overtime scenario. WB had the pleasure of two sets of downs due to Dayton penalties in their scenario. Dayton also had a long pass to the red zone called back for some penalty no one could figure out. Daytons Defense looks to be much improved this year passing and run game we will see how they stack up. Over all it looked like two good teams that might make some noise this year.

Actually, I was told the young man is at United and is one of their RB's getting lot's of playing time.

Delete thread & ban user 😅 Bad take

Everyone one throws around the word discipline when discussing teams. I will change it for just a moment and call it well behaved. Having seen HF play in person only about 3 times in the past 10 years, however I did not like "they way the carried themselves." This may very well be the best behaved group I have witnessed. A huge unsportsman like cost La Marque big time on a possible scoring drive and HF never appeared to do anything that could cost them throughout the night. Late in the game there was an extremely minor push after a play and an HF player immediately was forcing his teammate to the sideline to keep his team from being hit with unsportman like as well. Hoping this is not a 1 time thing and they stay away from some of the foolishness of the past. Whether coaching emphasized or just an overall decent group of kids that was my personal highlight from last night's game. Now, someone may come on here and defend some past teams actions and that's fine, just giving an opinion.

Why? How about giving the kids some credit by putting their real names on here? Nobody cares about pet names.

So you thought it but didn’t share until after the game? Me too. I had a feeling too but not confident enough to share.

Newton ended up with 6 turnovers. There's just no way you can beat a WO-S team with 6 turnovers.

It shouldn't have been this close at all. I see a lot of running or whatever discipline coach uses (not a paddle) for the team. A lot of untimely, legit flags kept Lumberton in the game. Timberwolves will he fine. It's just one game but QB play seems to be trending in the right direction with some accurate short and midrange throws and 3 TD passes.

We could have had a much better week if you would have started that way earlier!! lol

A title that was WBs. That fumble was a heart breaker, they had LV dead to rights

I wouldn’t go that far. It don’t get that bad. Lol

Somebody's gotta pay for all those increased taxes the city wants taxpayers to pay

Following been down past few years… winning will cure that.

Very nice win tinight.

I thought my free password finally expired after 6 years,maybe there is a problem then..

No sir. 31-28 Dawgs

It will not be long and he’ll be renaming the Strait of Hormuz to the Strait of Trump. Smh He is the biggest troll/baby in world and it ain’t even close.

Saw some of those Massey predictions. Some are wildly off. Not saying this is one of them but any rating predicting Kountze to beat Buna and Hamshire-Fannett to beat La Marque by 4 TD's is not to be looked at too seriously.

DCTF has Silsbee as a 27 point favorite.

This district has gone through quite a change with only 3 members returning and has a westerly shift as I predicted but I never thought that Victoria East would be included. It is no longer in the SETX coverage area, but should be of interest to 5AD1 fans in Region 3 because of playoff implications. When you talk about this district, you have to talk about what I would call the Big 3, those that will probably occupy the top 3 spots, Angleton, Richmond Randle, and Iowa Colony. One thing they all have in common is they will all be starting a new QB because their QB of 2-3 years graduated or transferred. I will not try to rank them because of bias and I don't know how much effect the QB change will have. Angleton will have 6 D1 commits on the team this year, OLs Noah Smith and Noah Ernst, RBs Wyatt Neyland and Jayden Moore, safety Landon Miles, and CB/KR Kasen Jammer. Smith is a move-in from Iowa Colony. They will not have any DL returning starters but again a transfer comes to the rescue. Vance Smyth, a Sweeny transfer, where he started 2 years at both TE and DE will start at DT for Angleton. Angleton will be helped by the fact that their JV and Freshmen teams in '25 both finished 10-0. Trey Gardner is the new QB. He would have been the QB last year when Duron went down, but he was injured and lost for the year about the 3rd game. His father is the team's DC and a former NFL linebacker. He has been on varsity since his sophomore year waiting behind Duron. Their only returning starter at WR would have been Wesley Jackson, but he transferred to Carthage, the state champs. Good luck to him. If the scrimmage I watched is any indication, they do not intend to abandon the pass. Angleton will be the road team in games against the other two contenders. Iowa Colony will have some holes to fill. Not only did Smith leave for Angleton, but their QB of the last 3 years, Oklahoma State commit Carson White transferred to Ft. Bend Hightower where his dad is the new OC. Besides that, 2 3-star rated players (S, OL) and a 4-star WR graduated. They still have a 4-star rated safety, Kalen Simmons. Iowa Colony will be the home team in games against the other two. Randle was the state runner-up last year and will again return 5-star RB Landen Williams-Callis, who had about 3500 yds rushing and is committed to UT. However their QB of the last 3 years, Tyler Skrabanek who had almost as many yds passing as Williams-Callis did rushing graduated and will have to be replaced. The 4th place seems to me to most likely to go to Friendswood. They are more experienced this year and their tall QB returns. They were 4th last year and almost beat Dist. 12 champ Anderson on the road. Of the other 5, Katy Freeman is somewhat a mystery. For the 1st time they will have a senior class and the 1st time they will participate in a UIL district. Their 2 losses last year were to 3A teams, including 46-0 loss to Hitchcock who had a good year. Victoria East hasn't had a good year since 2023 and Dulles doesn't appear to be any better than the FB team they replaced Kempner. The last two places will probably go to Pasadena and South Houston.

Is it just me and please correct me if I am wrong, but does someone here only post when the Astros have lost or are in the middle of losing a game? It's weird because this person never posts during a Houston win or after a win. I'll hang up and listen.

It's week #1, wing-it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Agree. I think its' a great test for both programs actually. A) tells us if Jasper is improved and ready to be respected again b) is EC improved and a threat in 3AD1 region III ?

I think the Crosby fans are more than sensible enough to understand that. The record isn’t going to be good and there will be those who give a lot of weight to “bad” coaching decisions but 90% of our issue is just going to be personnel, especially in the trenches.

Everyone knew you couldn't hold out. lol

For THSF to lead the way in pretty much every metric in the country one thing we suck at is title games. Tough for the small school teams to earn their right to play for a title under the Friday night lights only to have to ask their families/communities to accommodate a Wednesday game in the middle of the afternoon.

I don't think I have ever seen a relief pitcher give up more 2 strike hits than Bryan Abreu. smh

Great idea. I would much rather prefer The Star actually.
