Absolutely Embarrassing. What the hell were these coaches thinking going go 2. 

Lived that life as a Lobo fan but came out on the positive side. We were up by several scores against a Waco Midway team and then their RB ate our lunch in the second half. We went for 2 in OT because we knew out defense was out of gas.

I watched the second half...thought it was a gutsy call...BH defense was out of gas...

Kind of surprised that the computer ranks are favorable to BH with Richland being 11-0

Max Preps has us ranked 13 and Richland 16

Cal Preps has us favored 38-31

It’s all due to their district and schedule strength, but thought they would get the nod👍.  Rankings don’t matter though BH has to come to play and getting the ground game going is key.

DCTF has BH favored +1

This… the point Longview fans isn’t that we’re better than Longview, the point was no one would pick Richland over Longview or Forney and BH through the one common team shows we can compete. 
 

I also read that in Richlands first playoff game the opposing team lost their QB in the 1st quarter, so their win not impressive. This is definitely not a gimme game, but if BH plays to their ability and cuts out the turnovers and PF penalties they should win. 

I wouldn't take it that way from YOU. Again, I think someone made the point earlier, it comes down to which BH team shows up. I also don't think Richland is a pushover but we will see. This is matchup has me intrigued....same with Longview and Reedy...going to be a good weekend of football in Region 2. 

Good luck to you guys. Would love to see both of us get to round 4.

You are using flawed theory in your comment above. I would encourage you to go and look at the box scores of the games. I can speak on the Longview game because I was there, Longview dominated the game with 400 yards in offense. It was 36- 7 in the 4Q with the back ups in. Not to mention the game was in McKinney.but if it makes you feel better.

Now, I think BH will be competitive with Richland and it should be a good game. 

I am with you on this one. Longview kneeled out the clock inside their 10 yard line and could have scored more but didn't.

When it comes to scoring, it is about offensive types and matchups. Look at Porter and the two outcomes...different teams and different match ups.

For this game, I do think it is going to be a good one. I think as long as BH doesn't come out flat, they should have a solid shot at winning.

Porter ends the night with 84 yds total offense

32 attempts for 14 yds rushing

6 of 16 for 70 yds passing

!!:59/7/F

Lancaster floating LB to LP backside & basically blitzing him every play. LP needs to adjust at half & seal that backside LB. If they do, lanes will open up big time. Right now, there’s no cutback & the blitzing LB is in backfield too quick.

We’ll see if LP adjusts.

Lancaster having some success through the air with the wind.

Both rushing attacks are being managed pretty well so far.

LP PK must have put a lot of work in and got rid of the jujus. LOL

That is pretty impressive. Lancaster has a P5 running back. Holding him in check is huge.

Is this score correct ? 
Porter is up 49-0, or Longview is up ?

Longview is up. I had to fix it.

I knew this would be a good game. BH just needs to keep grinding away. PA/Forney seems to be a good game as well.

Longview is up 49-0 at half.

I lean more towards the Longview game of last season. Not to say Forney is Longview , but they are disciplined and physical. If PAM doesn’t come read to play 4 quarters it could get away from them. 
 

Good Luck!

I think so as well...PAM is going to have to play physical defense from the jump. PAM has the athletes to frustrate and beat their defense but they can't do that if they don't have the ball.

They are neutral. Some Lobo fans cannot let go. Yes you will have a few phantom/missed/bad calls that may go against you but that comes with playing in someone else's home.... ijs

You are correct, I can't let go. They are supposed to be neutral. I hope they get refs from outside the metroplex.

I hope you’re right. The more film I watch on MN the more they look like BH. The biggest advantage I see for them is at RB and TE these boys can play. This one will be a shoot out.

The kid they use at halfback/TE is a stud. He wrecked some havoc early on against Longview but we adjusted. The RB is great. As long as the LBs keep everything in front of them, you guys should be good....but if they get rolling...can be hard to stop...

Only thing I can say about Forney is that they are not unbeatable. Both Longview and Lancaster were able to move the ball on them.

LV yardage 330 to 158

Lancaster yardage 418 to 220

Both of our defenses were able to hold them in check. It is the refs and the turnovers you got to deal with. The Forney defense (and refs) in the redzone are very hard to score on.

McKinney North has an excellent running back and a gun slinger at QB. They will go tempo and run up and down the field if you let them. Offensive scheme is balanced when needs to be. The defense is not the best. 

BH should win this by 2 TDs or more if the defense plays strong.

New Caney Porter upsets Barbers Hill in a strong second half performance and gutsy defensive play. For their effort, they have a long trip to #2 Longview. How do you see this one playing out?

LaPorte vs Lancaster - This will most likely be pretty high scoring game. I think turnovers decide it. 

Longview vs New Caney Porter - Longview's defense will adjust to the running game and pull away for convincing win.

BH versus McKinney North - If BH can stop the run, they win...pretty simple.

Forney vs PAM - the most interesting game of the 4. Regardless of what refs they pick, PAM will be playing the zebras too. PAM's athletes will give Forney trouble but Forney is a complete team.

Whoa

Lufkin 21 Lancaster 21 with 9 min left in the 4th. Lufkin has to win by 6 to get in.

Really looking forward to these first round matchups. The defenses in our district have seen some really good running games. It will be interesting to see how they matchup in the first round.

Play-off teams

McKinney North RB Jayden Walker – Army (going to West Point)

Lancaster RB Kewan Lacy – Nebraska

Forney RB Javian Osborne – offers from USC, Texas, Oklahoma, Washington

Longview RB Taylor Tatum – Oklahoma

Non play-off teams

Lufkin RB Kedren Young – Notre Dame

Tyler High RB/WR Derrick McFall – UCLA

The most dangerous game of the 4 will be BH versus Lancaster. Lancaster is finally healthy and rolling. Of all the teams in your district, BH is the one that is built to beat them. But BH is going to have to play a solid and consistent game to put them away. I see BH winning by 14-21. If they let Lancaster hang around or have trouble with Lancaster's talent, it could be interesting.

The only thing that could change that is if Lufkin pulls the upset tonight which would surprise me. 

Silsbee by 21. Tigers are going to expose that secondary.

Yeah but during the playoffs don't coaches agree on a officiating crew? They could get a crew from west or central Texas. Shouldn't be a problem. 

Yep, but I really hope these coaches are smart enough to insist on a crew that is not from DFW of any sort....
