This was an exciting game. Dayton could've, should've, would've, but Porter's D held at the end. Dayton ran all over Porter, but Porter's QB made those big plays when he had to. Good game by both teams.

Was Tarkington's kicker hurt?

The EC/Tarkington scrimmage was moved to EC.

4th place is up for grabs.

Watched this game on Channel 57...it was nice to see 22-3A players working together. Public schools 28, private 7. Congrats to Coach Carpenter and staff! It's great to see small school players featured in the Houston market. Nice job GHFCA!

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1379388" timestamp="1361837870"] I foresee our local 3A (4A) districts to be something like this: Division I Bridge City Silsbee WO-S Huffman Splendora Cleveland Jasper Division II Hamshire-Fannett Hardin-Jefferson Orangefield Liberty Tarkington Coldspring Shepherd I expect Buna to drop down a classification [/quote] I agree your D1 is full of strong teams, but, with the exception of stand-out Coldspring, this D2 will be competitive. These D2s haven't been able to compete with the larger schools, again the exception being CS. That's the whole reason for having two divisions. I like it. Now, I agree with other posters that 4 teams going to the playoffs is ridiculous.

What a good game! Congrats Bucs!!

IMHO, Coldspring will dominate and be the only 22-3A team to advance.

Congratulations to the Lady panthers and to Coach Slack!  You had a great run!

She appears to be one tough cookie and a fast one too!

This could be a good game, but I wonder what the loss last week will do to Shepherd's confidence. We'll see. Cleveland's defense may be the difference. Good luck to both teams.

Is Everitt playing?

[/quote] Ha comparing Tarkington to any school in the state let alone district doesn't really apply. Shepherd has had good seasons before, heck they were mighty competitive a few years back. Tarkington to the best of my knowledge is fighting the uphill climb of historically never even making the playoffs (at least to the best of my knowledge, if someone knows of them making the playoffs please do tell). [/quote] 1953.  The onne and only. [/quote] This group of kids were on their way to improvement, when the old, losing mindset crept in after big losses to strong teams, Coldspring and Cleveland. They will have to find a way out of that attitude to find a measure of success, but I always like to believe it can happen, especially to a long-time underdog.

[quote name="mwm4795" post="1313001" timestamp="1351441914"] Let me answer your questin with a question. Do you believe that coldsprings having 1/2 the enrolment makes it as far as they do on ability alone or is coaching a big part of there record? [/quote] I don't have a dog in the hunt, but as good a coach as Barbay is, CS is good because the boys are faster and bigger than anyone else in 22-3A, no matter their enrollments. Barbay brings strong discipline & consistency that enables the players to showcase their strengths. Good luck to Huffman, Cleveland & Shepherd in their last 2 games.

Shocker! Congrats to Shepherd. This makes the Shepherd/Cleveland game interesting.

[quote name="u_dnt_kno_me" post="1307546" timestamp="1350956260"] According to the article 6 man will be 1A...1A is 2A...2A is 3A etc...so no more DI. DII. essentially back to the old playoff system? [/quote] I see, I was just reading the thread--should have read the article before asking a question. Thanks.

Got a question--Since they are splitting 1A, do you think they will move smaller 2a schools down to 1A?

Poor Panthers! That's all I've got to say about that.

Oakwood means a return to SE Tx for Coach Heckathorn.

[quote name="HDBobcats9" post="1305090" timestamp="1350700898"] Trojans score again.... yikes!! Coldspring - 47 Huffman - 14 [/quote] I knew CS was really good, but I thought this game would be closer because of HH's explosive offense. I guess it's true that a good defense beats a good offense.
