Man there is a lot to unpack here. I'm literally laughing out loud reading most of these comments. Clearly a bunch of new Huffman trolls but mixed in with a really inflated opinion of their team. I'm a fan of Huffman. Unfortunately I'm a bigger fan of the truth. The truth is Drayden Bacon (the RB) is probably the best player in the district and can single handedly win a game for you. The younger Bacon (Dailen) is probably the fastest kid in district and can run by any DB out there and his hands are improving. Both are D1 talents. Huffman has 2 linemen that are D1 talents in my opinion. One has several D1 offers and the other should. After these 4 kids, the well is pretty dry. #13 is very well rounded football player. Everyone else is just a guy on the team. They are so far below average on defense it's crazy the OCs haven't exploited them more. Why do you think they went to a 5 man front? Because they can't stop running water with 4. Obviously teams should be picking them apart in the air, but no teams in this district can pass the ball so they are getting away with it. Vidor is a bad matchup for Huffman. I feel they will wear them down and run away with it at the end. I think all these Huffman players need to get off their phones and worry about the game and not a blog.

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.

Thread of the season candidate here 🤣🤣

Trump has taken us one step closer to pure socialism by taking government ownership stakes in multiple companies and industries, and justifying them all with the umbrella of ‘National Security.’ He’s codified the Democratic Socialists’ agenda for them, and a bunch of Trump-loving stooges went right along with it.

West Fork will be a playoff team. Splendora will not. Losing to WF can be considered a quality loss. Losing to Splendora cannot be considered a quality loss. But definitely losing to Liberty is a terrible loss on anyone's resume.

Getting a lot of "newbies" creating accounts from the classroom and posting. Pretty easy to tell.

Never heard of a father and son still in high school together. Being that this IP you are using is a school IP.

I will say I think honestly it won't speed the game up that much as 35 seconds is a very long time so I think it could lead to longer possessions. It will force coaches to have some late shot clock built in actions to run if their offense isn't producing a shot after 25 seconds. Also teams that rely on pressing like in the college game can adapt if in foul trouble to force teams into shorter half-court possessions with a slower press with less trapping as that is what I have heard the most in my conversations with college coaches about the change. There are lots of mini games that can be played with it that will take a few people a while. I don't mind people holding the ball either, I do like this for late game the most as teams will have to be able to play a little better late game than just use an elite guard to dribble around to run clock out in late game too. But I 100% see your point about it taking some styles away.

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

In Mid-County Madness, throw the records out once the ball is kicked off. The Bulldogs need Jaedon Ned and their running game to keep the chains moving, control possession, and keep PNG's offense on the sideline. Long, sustained drives would be a major advantage for Nederland. Brayden Clay can turn a short completion into a bigger play. Plus his dynamic special teams play. If the Indians hit explosive plays early, Nederland could be forced to abandon its preferred game plan. Not good for the Bulldogs. This is Nederland’s most talented front 7 since those mid 2010’s years. In a rivalry this intense, one interception, fumble, or special-teams mistake can decide everything. Nederland needs to play disciplined football. If the Bulldogs can hold PNG under 25 points, win the turnover battle, and run the ball effectively. The Dogs will come out on top and spoil the party at the Rez. Going to be a great game like always come Friday Night.

I personally don't think it adds. It takes away more than it adds. It will be more cookie cutter basketball. Everyone basically forced to play the same styles. I don't think that's a good thing. I want a coach to be able to coach however he/she thinks is best for his/her team's success. If that means being more deliberate style (not holding the ball for a quarter, I'm not for that) then so be it. Not every school has athletes and basketball skills to compete in an up tempo game. Coaches and players will eventually adapt but to me there was no logical reason for it. And don't say it helps prepare for the next level. That's for only about 5% of the players in the entire state. The other 95% ends their basketball playing days in the high school gyms. I just think UIL finally succumbed to the select few and fanbase.

UIL approved giving football teams in 4A & below home-field advantage in first round of playoffs and adopting that for all classes in basketball, volleyball, team tennis and soccer. Currently, only 6A and 5A football teams get home field in first round.

I have to agree with you. Trump is not acting in Americas best interest. However, I can’t make myself vote Democrat. It will be Trump and the GOPs fault if they lose the midterms.

LOL we've talked plenty about both teams and when both teams are good and playing the rivalry will definitely be talked about...I def had Nederland as a hipster pick this year back in August and I'm glad they have proven me correct.. PNG started slow, but they dont have a bad loss on the resume...just watched last week's game online and noticed Gohlke at QB and the last PNG game I watched (Crawford) Ashworth was QB

No clue who wins this one. Going to say they meet again the Friday after Thanksgiving. Hope I'm right on this prediction.

Why would they start seniors instead of normal players

Ashworth at WR/H has been a plus as has Gohlke’s accurate passing and slashing running style.

Your support for Trump since you have been on this forum has been childish so spare me the childish insult.

Back to the kicking decisions. Hernandez could've put 3 points on the board from 5 yards farther back. Silsbee broadcaster even said he threw his hands up going back to the sideline. His only miss all year was last week with a bad snap. When he has punted he's dropped it inside the 5 when possible. He has talent. Things like this could be why the last kicker didnt return play his senior year. Even though he broke every record at WOS. At times they've shown zero confidence in them. Flashback to the OT loss at PNG few years ago. It went to OT because they wouldn't let the kicker kick. But Joseph did and the kid nailed it. How many times did we hear CT talk about winning all 3 phases?

Anderson, WB pound United 28-14 By Tom Halliburton Tammeron Anderson never expected to run so much Friday night but the West Brook senior handled his heavy workload ‘ok’ by his own estimation. The Bruins quarterback and his big-play receiver/runner Brandon Jackson dazzled Beaumont United’s defense when it counted as the west end squad convincingly reclaimed the Beaumont Bowl title 28-14 at wind-blown Doggett Family Stadium. How convincingly did coach Chuck Langston’s red and blue (3-4 and 2-3) restore their 5A Division 1 playoff hopes? They outgained the younger Timberwolves (6-2 and 3-2) by a commanding 422 yards to United’s 246. How involved was West Brook’s field general in compiling that 422 total. The University of Louisiana pledge, Anderson ran a seemingly excessive 26 times for 151 yards and threw for 198 more. Tam tossed three scoring passes and dashed to paydirt for a fourth score. Anderson’s busiest receiver, Jackson, collected five of his passer’s nine completions for 166 yards and two touchdowns while Brock Anderson added a touchdown catch which shoved WB in the lead for keeps. There’s no way anyone expected the Bruins quarterback to take off and run that often. Not even Tam himself. But the Timberwolves defense had to stretch the field and assign a defender to guard each potential weapon as the Bruins constantly lined up in an empty backfield. That permitted Tam to dash into the wide-open spaces. “The game plan was to get the ball to my receivers but United has a great defense and our receivers weren’t always open,” the Bruins passer said. “We had to give them some unique looks (offensive formations),” said the head coach’s son and WB offensive coordinator Justice Langston. “We thought we might have to put it on Tam’s back.” When the rivals shook hands, Timberwolves head coach Drenard Williams spoke with class, complimenting the Bruins. “They kept our passing game contained and we couldn’t punch it into the end zone,” United’s second-year head coach said. “I take my hat off to them. It’s all about execution. But we sure don’t have time to hang our hats.” Anderson would be the first guy to admit that his night would feel far less than perfect. He lost two fumbles in the game’s first 15 minutes. United linebacker Myles Andrews jarred one loose in the end zone and teammate Justice Johnson covered it for touchdown, giving United a 14-7 lead less than a minute into the second quarter. From that point, WB’s offensive line decided to take charge, often escorting its quarterback to large yardage chunks. The Bruins tied the game midway in the second quarter with an 87-yard, 15-play drive. They grabbed their first lead late in the third quarter with a 62-yard, 14-play possession. The fourth-quarter trip to the end zone covered 64 yards in eight snaps. “I thought our offensive line played extremely well,” the Bruins head coach said. “We were very physical up front. Tam is a special young man with an unbelievable character. We put a lot on him tonight.” Senior offensive lineman Michael Richard felt his unit definitely took command of United’s defense after halftime. “I could tell by the energy we had,” Richard said. “We just had to make sure we executed and stayed together… The main thing is we just locked in on all of our plays.” As for the game’s most productive yardage gainer, the West Brook quarterback preferred to downplay his contribution. “I had an OK game but I could have done much better,” Anderson said. “I feel happy not for me but for the team, for our school and all the people on the west end.” Tom Halliburton is a Beaumont Enterprise senior sports correspondent

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.

I’ll say this.. I’ve seen a TON of salty Newton fans on facebook after losing to Hardin… a lot of coping going on. “That was their Super Bowl” “Newton has more playoff wins than most of the teams in SETX”… Relax Newton peeps you lost one district game your still a favorite to go to state lol

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.

Huffman's coaches should have shut this down a long time ago.

This is actually hilarious. People are using another definition and justifying an economic system similar to China because the ‘S’ word is a big no-no. I guess ‘Too Big to Fail’, Soylendra, the Big Auto bailouts (of which GM still owes us $14B), and all the other wonderful ideas where the government invests our money, we’re still paying for with the interest on the debt, see no return, and have no say on when we can get our money back, is okay if we use another term to describe the interference in the market. It would be different if it were incentives. But, this isn’t. This is pure market manipulation by the government using our money to pick winners and losers. The only people winning are the companies, and their direct investors. Every other competitor is losing. Almost every taxpayer is losing. Even those not born yet. Yes. I’m a conservative libertarian in fiscal matters. Not a fan of market interference by the government in this manner. Very slippery slope.

Very easy decision. Highly recommend Black Gold BBQ. It's amazingly good. On the left right when you come into Buna.

I've just sat back and laughed at most of this thread but since this is the 2nd or 3rd time I've heard this mentioned, can you please explain how Huffman is a "Houston school"? Like what does that even mean and specifically how should that directly translate to having a better football team?

In police investigations, we call that a clue…… 😎

Thursday Anahuac at OF Friday still undecided Saturday Lamar I like the idea of crashing Aggies tailgate

Nothing says hot like losing to Shepherd, Splendora and Liberty. The district is terrible. Y'all may or may not be the least terrible team in this district. In the past everyone has ragged on this district for being bad, but this year takes the cake. If HJ would have opted up, they probably would have won it.

Pick'em has been made. Don't blame me for the outcome 🙃

Any powder kegs or lit flares in this one again?? 👀

I’m not certain on how good Nederland or PNG is, this may be one of the worst districts they have been in. These teams have been bad! Next week will be the only hard game they have in district play. Good luck and hopefully injury free to both teams.

I missed it live but went back to the broadcast. You're right. Levi was in for KJ too. Really?!?! Its the same staff that called a TO on 3rd down of opening drive. Next play went -2. Then they went for it on 4th and lost 10 more yards. Why not punt from midfield? I'll get back to that. Then at the end its like he heard me say "we cant play prevent on offense." And replied back... hold my beer. Same coach ran down to call the TO. Put in the FG team. False start. So now lets try to throw to the end zone. Athleticism can only bail him out so many times. Will they have another KJ next year? Is Spears or Alexander gonna be another record breaking savior? Tonight we played a sloppy undisciplined game and escaped with a win. Think Silsbee had 14 points from scoop and scores. We couldn't make a 1st down after 2 of their turnovers. Penalties cost us numerous times. This wont work in December. Loved the cooler weather tonight but I want them to play indoors at some point. Only one place to do that.

Dayton may you have a wonderful rest of your season. Go Purple brothers.

I might be off, but Png’s starting defense has given up 14 total points in three district games. If I recall right Santa Fe scored 14 before the backups came in, Texas city only scored off an interception before the backups came in, and Dayton got zero.

Nederland seems to have a PAT problem…

Lol, we'll I hope silsbee had more than 3 plays that bcz, last year they had many opportunities with Johnson running the RPO.in the second half all they tried to do was run the ball.and after watching there game tape.QB isn't mobile.snd seems like the only pass play they run is a fade route.that want work.and that's why I'm thinking w.o by at least 3scores.there defense want hold up against kj and #14 for West Orange.dont be surprised w.o is able to throw the ball at will.no disrespect to silsbee but I don't think there defense is that good.

You are among the few with that opinion I’d imagine

Silsbee at WOS

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.
