idk

The kid is a very good back, We shall see. If our DE's stay at home and do what they are supposed to do, then I say yes we slow him down. We are not going to shut him down he is too good and Bellville's O-Line is prob. the best we have faced all year, but you can bet the coaches have a good game plan on doing so. If need be we can match Bellville's O-Line pound for pound, we just haven't had to do that all year. Also that #9 LB is a beast, he plays LB well. Gonna be a good game. Again just hope both teams are injury free and on point heading into the playoffs.

Yeah even my own.:)

I am sure they do, along with the other 99% of the people that keep up with High School Football. But I like our odds. Heck we were only predicted to win one or two games all year long. lol.

Worried is such a strong word. Are they hitting the film room hard this week, yes. Are they working on perfection of the plays this week, yes. Are they worried, No. This team is such a loose team. I have not seen them up tight all year. They will go out and give it everything they have, if it is good enough great, if it is not, then it is what it is. That is what I love about this team, they don't get scared or shaken up. They just go out and play. If they get behind, they will keep coming at you. The only thing for certain is that after Friday night Shepherd will have the respect of Bellville, win or loose. So I have to ask you, Is Bellville worried. Seems to me, with all the polls and things, Bellville has way more at stake then Shepherd.

I do too, if I make it I'll look you up.

Well you are going to be sitting on Shepherd's side. lol.

I am going to go ahead and clarify Shepherd's side of things before Friday night. At the end of the night the score will decide who the better team is on that particular night. We will not cry over the ref's, turnovers or anything that the game has to offer. I fully expect Shepherd to win this game. Just wanted to throw that out there for aTm06 and let him know we are not a bunch of crybaby's. I know for certain that Bellville is going to bring it on Friday Night, but you can also know for certain Shepherd will bring it also. I just hope no one gets injured and both teams are healthy for the playoffs. This is the first time since 1967 that Shepherd has a chance to be District Champions!

#2 seed in our district will not have to play WOS until the fourth round!! Just Sayin.

This thread may hit 50 pages here. I think this will go on for awhile. Oldschool loves to get the faithful going.

There are certain fan basis that get a little excited when there team is mentioned. Heck I am guilty of it myself and my team is never hardly mentioned. lol. With that being said, I hope WOS does go all the way this year, due to the fact that they are one of few teams that have what it takes to win it. But if they don't this site is going to light up like a Christmas Tree (due to some of their fans arrogance or confidence however you want to see it)

Man to be honest this game has me nervous. You guys play very good defense.

You think you guys will be able to score in the teens. I agree with you on that one.

No sure yet. I may have to work. The only game since Liberty that is worth seeing and I may have to work. But gotta pay the bills. I will know something by Wed.

You like living on the wild side I see. Wearing a Bellville shirt on the Shepherd side. LOl. Naw most of the Shepherd fans are good people. They may give the ref's a hard time but mostly good folks.

For my buddy aTmfan06, this is what both these teams have been playing for. I will say it all day long that BellVille is good. At the beginning of the year no one in the state of Texas thought Shepherd would be in this position. This will be a good physical game that will come down to who makes less mistakes. BellVille runs the slot t to perfection with a good big defense. Shepherd just plain physical on offense and will try and run it down your through with a good Oline and big FB. On defense they are small but fly to the ball. I I will take my Pirates by a TD. Let the the fun begin.

Folks I am extremely worried about TexasPather2012, since his teams little miss-step I haven't seen him post on this site one time. Maybe I just missed it. I mean before last Friday night you couldn't keep him off of every thread talking about Liberty and their record. Hell when Shepherd lost to Liberty on the last second field goal, we didn't just quit posting. We even gave Liberty their props. So someone tell me where my boy is!!! On a serious note I do hope he is ok and just a little upset or butt-hurt over the game.

Yea, it is kinda fun messing with ya. It should be a very good game. I did look at some film and I do think Belleville is a better team than Liberty, so it will be a tough game for us. I do think it will come down to a battle of the Offensive lines. They both are good. On Bellville's defense the big DE (#21) I think is impressive. He and our blocking back #40 will have a few good meetings for sure. OH and on this thread I think HJ will win by at least two td's. Question, if HJ wins out do they get he #@ seed in that district?

Yep no doubt about it, you guys will be first place, you guys will not even break a sweat the next three weeks. If I were Bellville, I would not overlook Madisonville. They do have some athletes and if you blink they may surprise you. Just take care of business this week, Shepherd is not going to even show up next week and waste gas, we will just take our spot that the polls and the fans say we deserve and go on about our business. Oh by the way are you kin to TexasPanther12? Just curious!!

Like I have said many times, on paper Liberty is the better team. But what the paper cannot tell you (on any particular night) is who the better team is then. Yes fumbles, miss tackles, refs and all other sorts of things come into play. The team on that particular night that can overcome these issues, their failures and still put more points on the board is the better team for that night. NO matter what every person thinks and NO matter what the paper says. Last Friday Night HJ was the better team. They put (3) more points on the board than Liberty did. Do I still think Liberty is the better overall team, Yes but not last Friday Night. That's why you play the game. If the paper or fans dictated who the better team was there would be no reason to play the games and spend that kind of money on travel.

I do agree with you that Jack a product of the system to a point. But that does not take away him being a quality QB on his own accord. I would say the same about Jacob. Good QB but is helped by the system to a point. So we agree on some level and then disagree to a point. I wish Porter nothing but the best for the rest of this year and I do hope they have a deep playoff run.

Well if we are being honest, maybe the system at Porter is making that QB look better than he really is. Sometime it is the players around you and the system you are in more that the player themselves.

Well my point exactly. If Porter can't beat a (4A) WOS team, then how in the hell could they even be in a conversation about being the best team in Texas. Yea I know about the depth of these bigger schools and what kind of athletes they have. I do not need a lesson. If you needed to get in a dig at WOS they do it on your own. I am not from there but I still say Porter could not beat them. As far as Porter's QB being better than Jack Dallas, I doubt it. Not only could Dallas beat him on the football field, he then could strike him out on the baseball diamond then hit a homerun off of the Porter QB if he tried to pitch to him.

My point with Barbay is that if you win games some of the small things can and will be overlooked. Every team in the state of Texas has some cracks in it. Sometimes it is the coaches and sometimes it is the players. From the outside looking in, The Coldspring team last year was not a well coached team, they still had a lot of the kids from Barbay's time on it and that helped them last year. Now you are in the full year of this coach and this team is not coached well at all. When you do not make adjustments, the kids do not play with the same passion and fire (that everyone is accustom too) and you loose that "it" factor then things are different. Most from Coldspring will say it is a lack of good quality players. I will have to call BS on that, Colspring has the quality of players they need, this runs much deeper than that. Like I said this is just my $.02 so take it for what it is worth. I do agree with you about Coach Peveto, as bad as we wanted to be him and his teams he was one of the great ones.

Ok, I will be the first. I usually don't comment on these threads, but here I go. Everyone will give Porter props for putting a good year together. But they are not even in the same level as the best teams in the State. I would be a large sum of money that WOS (which is 4A) would beat them by pretty good margin. Porter has done some really good things this year, but it take more than one year to become a elite team in football.

Good post. On any given night any team can be beat. Each teams records matter, but their are just some teams that match up better against certain team. Also, I hear a bunch on here takj about a team full of Athletes, sometimes I will take a team full of heart and toughness over those Athletes. Who will win most of the time (The team of Athletes) but on that very special night in the playoffs a stud team will go down. So on that very night the better team won.
