  4. Coldspring traveled to Teague Thursday night to start officially start the Chad Allen era in Trojan nation. The energy Coldspring showed with the new staff was off the chain. Running the spread the offensive schemed looked good with Quivey averaging 4 yards per carry. looks like he may be the leading rusher for the Trojans. They have a battle for the Qb spot and that will be interesting to see how it plays out. Having several receivers that can be play makers I look for the trojans to be able to throw the ball around through the season. On the defensive side of the ball the Trojans looked fair. seemed overall a little small but athletic, The 3/4 front they ran seemed to let the Lions gain few extra yards per carry, but it was the first scrimmage of the season. I am pretty optimistic on the Trojans this year and think it will be a battle for them to make the playoffs and could come down to the final game of the season for the Trojans.

  7. You know as well as I do that scrimmages are run mostly not like real games. In controlled scrimmages there's no kicking game involved, there is no returning of interceptions or fumbles, no tackling of the QB (so no sacks that would put the down and distance different), plays are limited to a certain number therefore a team could be driving but reach their limit of plays, since no kickoffs ball always starts on the 30, 2nd and 3rd teams play (which in most cases they never see the field in games as an entire unit), the play clock is not used so therefore there are no delay of game penalties, etc. etc. Most importantly, there are no won/loss records that include scrimmages. Now, if all high school scrimmages were run just like NFL preseason games, then I could see where one could claim a win or a loss. Even the NFL doesn't keep up with scrimmages between two teams which happens a lot. Most times two teams that play a preseason game will scrimmage each other a day or so beforehand. There are no scores or wins or losses accounted for in those. Even when high school scrimmages are "game like" they are never 100% game like. Most times there is a running clock and the play clock is not used accurately. Let's be honest, there are just too many variables that come into play or not come into play in controlled scrimmages where a win or loss can be claimed. I think it's find to state that one team "dominated, had the upper hand, put a hurting on, etc." on the other team. Particularly when it's obvious that one team is much better than the other or in some cases the team is much worse than the other. To put a win or a loss in a scrimmage is just not an accurate way to assess a scrimmage in my opinion.

  8. There are no winners in a scrimmage. It’s ludicrous to think otherwise. The rules are different and what could be a touchdown in a game is a whistled dead call in a scrimmage. A scrimmage is a practice against another team and try to work out any issues that it exposes. I suppose that when the team practices on Tuesday afternoon, you would ssy that they won practice! 🤣🤣🤣

  11. I agree. My decision of which Friday game to attend will be based on how things are going into that week. But right now I will go with these games for Week 7: Thursday Baytown Sterling at Beaumont West Brook Friday Port Arthur Memorial at La Porte (2nd choice is Orangefield at East Chambers) Saturday Incarnate Word at Lamar

  14. Did the D1 blue chipper move from South Houston to Shadow Creek because of the 6-point difference between the schools’ TEA report cards or was it the 8-win difference between the football teams… I guess we’ll never know 🙄

    Caroline Leavitt has done a great job of covering and protecting Trump. Air Force 1 was a suspect terror target. He boarded a military plain and allowed the rest of his staff, including her, to take off. She steps down a week or so later. She may have realized her value to Trump. Just a theory.

  20. for sure, if it's legit. I truly don't know. Hard to trust stuff coming out of DISD sometimes... In 2025 DISD had only 11 Ds and 2 Fs out of over 200 schools. I find that pretty unbelievable. To put that into perspective, BISD had 7 Ds and 7 Fs with only 23 campuses last school year. That said, if DISD's score are truly accurate then that's a definite eye opener to how dysfunctional BISD has been.

  21. Sounds like someone wants some cheese with their whine! Graduated from EC many years ago, and when you have a school that is all around strong in everything from athletics to UIL to FFA, etc. the school sales itself. Why would people not want their kids go to a school that is as well balanced and competitive in every aspect of school life.

  22. I'll tell yall this, the lefty was damn impressive at BH two years ago as a sophomore and if EC can have him at QB allowing KJ to be used elsewhere as a weapon, they're going to be dangerous.

  29. Did a little digging since we always have this question come up. Here's the history between La Porte & Port Arthur. La Porte vs Port Arthur History This year’s District 9-5A D1 game will be the 34th all time meeting between La Porte and Port Arthur. La Porte first faced Port Arthur Jefferson in 1922. This rivalry dates back 104 years! This season will be the 34th game played between the two cities. Port Arthur Jefferson closed in the late 90's and Port Arthur Memorial became the school in Port Arthur in 2002. Here is the breakdown of the last 33 meetings! LP PA 1922 0 20 1978 49 12 1979 24 22 1980 14 41 1981 7 41 1982 21 33 1983 28 14 1984 7 6 1985 17 20 1986 14 17 1987 21 14 1988 17 12 1989 35 20 1990 35 35 Tie 1991 27 22 1992 49 27 1993 37 0 1996 38 6 1997 31 3 2006 56 27 2008 56 28 2009 42 21 2010 37 13 2011 24 20 2011 6 34 2012 37 33 2013 45 47 2014 41 35 2015 13 62 2020 17 45 2021 27 50 2022 34 54 2023 27 38 2026 ? ? Current head-to-head overall: LP 19, PA 13. Since the opening of Memorial, the series is tied 7-7. It's been a series of 5 game runs broken up by alternating wins by both teams between the runs. PAM was the last team to beat LP in a district game in either 9-5A D1, or 11-5A D1 with a comeback win in Port Arthur in 2023.

  30. Americans still waiting on their tariff check but instead it’s been sent to the big corporations that gouged us to compensate for the tariffs that were implemented. DOGE disappeared like a fart in the wind. Still waiting for the concept of a health care plan that would do away with Obamacare. Of the 250 years of debt Trump has created 25% of it in 5 1/2 years and he still has 2 1/2 years to go. Average Americans are still waiting on affordability but the Iran war took precedence. Great job on the border though.

  32. I can agree with that last statement. I have stated that the coaches and local DEC's have to do better. The problem with DISD is they have become a "you watch my back and I'll watch yours" district.

  33. I get out plenty and talk with many people in the coaching industry. I know exactly how wild the DFW area is with the transferring but my point is all these players were ruled eligible by all ruling committees. As for the complaining. My point was the vast majority of it comes from the team who loses to the team accused of cheating. Is it justified? To a point, yes. But knowing who some of you are on here that have posted or liked comments on this thread (including you) and what their school association is, my point has been proven. Like I stated before, policy needs improving.

  36. I disagree. Nederland whines and complains when their football team is no good, but when a coach brings in something to improve it , baseball parents get all huffy worrying about Little Johnny and ruins it.

  42. Freshmen/9th grade is usually a strong indicator...JV less so IMO as a lot of the better sophomore and junior players may be on varsity instead, especially if the varsity team isn't as talented...on paper, Nederland should be more talented this year, but they have to show it on the field...tough pre-district can have 2 effects, strengthen the team or destroy their confidence...I am not at all against the way they want to play the game, but they have to get bigger and more physical and nasty up front (both sides of the ball) to execute on that type of gameplan...these games are far from meaningless and will help set the tone for the remainder of the season....as always, best of luck to the Bulldogs!

  43. From the report as stated from an AI search: The report points to: Local government education lost about 50,000 jobs, which economists say was likely influenced by seasonal-adjustment issues rather than a wave of layoffs. Retail lost about 19,000 jobs. Financial activities lost about 14,000 jobs. Meanwhile, healthcare, construction, manufacturing, and information added jobs

  44. I'm pretty confident the schools in South Oak Cliff's district would be perfectly okay forgoing the marginal players that transfer into their school if it meant they could keep their most talented players that they no doubt lose to schools like SOC. It's far more likely, at least in the case of SOC, that Dallas ISD pressures the other coaches in the district to allow it to happen.
