[quote name="jr1979" post="1030492" timestamp="1312256394"] Wow is right. Those are some well conditioned and strong kids  out there. The tailback even benches over 300 pounds, pretty impresive. He will be like a runaway freight train. This looks like a recipe for a state championship run, IMO. Brenhamfan, in yall's district will yall go D1 or D2 for the playoffs?? [/quote] D2, cuz were the only the 7th biggest school in our 8 team district. (only Waller is smaller) @ HillGuy, no problem.  It's fun keeping everybody updated on what they can expect come playoff time.  I enjoy hearing whats going on with other teams in the region, so I just try to return the favor.  Always room for more Cub fans!  ;)

[quote name="The-NHS" post="1030465" timestamp="1312250741"] The mile?? Why?? Let me know the next time a football player runs 1760 yards in a game at once. That'll be one heckava highlight. [/quote] A lot of our players play both ways, so it's important that we are in better shape than most teams.  The mile run is an annual thing.  If you don't complete it, you don't practice or play.  It might sound useless, but coach West has a method to his madness.

So far, so good....  ;) I see VPirate has caught a couple Blue Bell commercials! :D

[b]Article from the Banner Press[/b] The Brenham Cub football team opened the 2011 season by displaying its speed and toughness in its annual mile test. Then it showed its strength in the weight room as 13 different players bench pressed over 300 pounds. It added up to a successful opening workout for the defending District 17-4A champions, who saw roughly 180 athletes come out for the first practice of the season. Of those 180, about 42 will make the varsity team. “The thing I’m looking for is the overall shape of the team, and from what I saw this morning this might be the best shape we’ve been in as a group,” Brenham coach Glen West said. “They really came in extremely strong and ran really well.” To pass the mile, backs and receivers must run a 7:30 or below. This morning, none of the Cubs skill position players took more than 6:45, and Justin Davis paced the team with a five-minute mile. Linemen needed to complete the mile in eight minutes, and only two failed to pass that, finishing in 8:15. Those two players will not be allowed to participate in team workouts until they can complete the mile in eight minutes. Usually those who fail wait until the next day to try again, but West said both players requested to try the mile again at 3 p.m. so that if they pass they can participate in this afternoon’s workouts beginning at 5:30. “We’re trying to figure out who we are and prove to ourselves how bad we want this,” West said. “This is all about us and that’s what we’re totally focusing on, the chemistry of our team. We told them this morning we have a lot to prove, not only to the public, but to ourselves.” The Cubs were equally impressive in the weight room, where senior offensive lineman Will Herrmann paced the team by benching 410 pounds. Senior defensive tackle Malcom Brown benched 385 while senior running back/linebacker Troy Green posted a 365. Austin Schlottmann benched 330. West pointed to the strength the Cubs could feature in the backfield where Green, Jerrid Jeter-Gilmon (315) or Tim Cole (305) could be the blocking back for Klartel Claridy, who benched 320 pounds. On the offensive line, the Cubs have five players who bench over 300, including Herrmann. Brenham takes the field for the first time at 5:30 this afternoon. The meeting will begin with even more conditioning, as the team opens the workout with its traditional “county fair” circuit training before working on special teams followed by offense and defense. West said the workout would conclude around “dark-thirty.” “There’s not any question in my mind that tomorrow morning we’re going to have some awfully sore athletes,” he said.

[quote name="VPirate" post="1030139" timestamp="1312176770"] [quote author=PN-G bandkid link=topic=85755.msg1030134#msg1030134 date=1312173660] I believe a magazine listed Mid-County Madness as the third fiercest rivalry in the state. Maybe someone else can post a link; I don't remember which magazine it was. As for fans per capita, Indian Stadium can seat the entire city of Port Neches, and there are typically people standing in the aisles and around the fence for MCM. Considering that the stadium seats 13,000 and there are ~45,000 residents in the Mid-County area, we're talking about one in three people attending the game, not to mention the countless thousands listening to the radio and internet broadcasts and, these days, watching the TV broadcast both in Mid-County and around the world (that's no joke), I'd say it's probably one of the most followed high school rivalries on the planet. Scalp 'em. [/quote] I remember a story about a teacher's first day there in Nederland. To explain the PN-G, Nederland rivalry, her principal took her into the kindergarten class, where they all took out their purple crayons, broke them in half and threw them in the trash. She realized then she was not dealing with anything explainable to anyone else........Now that's a rivalry [/quote] I like that story too...  I love rivalries!  :D

Here's a good one, from a Chicago Cubs fan...  Houston Lastros.  They're keeping my Cubbies out of last place!  ;)

Excellent hire!  They don't get much better than Jurgen.  This isn't uncommon for a coach to coach a different country than where he's from.

[quote name="liltex" post="1029251" timestamp="1311942695"] It's all about the arm @5'8-160 lbs.He's lethal on the % passes inside 30 yds.Ball floats on the longer downfield throws.Now that's the air balls you saw.I can remember a few of those for the Cubs,we snagged away ;D [/quote] We go to the air more than most teams do.  Especially, in the last decade.

If you get a lot of turn overs, you convert on them, 80 points isn't out of the question.  We beat Magnolia 72-14 last year. ;D

In the center, above the BH, does it say "the hill"?

7 on 7 is touch football though.... ::)

LaMarque.  You wouldn't have to worry about Brenham, Dayton or LaMarque, cuz all three would go D2 no matter what! ;) You would get Friendswood or Dawson, in D1.

[quote name="liltex" post="1028972" timestamp="1311868838"] That's some good news,chunk dat pig into 1 of the best secondaries da Bronx has had in a long time.2010 had 15 picks  :o ;) [/quote] I remember Dayton getting pressured by Ike last year, and just lofting a couple of jumpball's up, which turned into int's.  I believe the last one was even a 100+ yard pick 6. ;D

Hubert came out with a head injury late in the 3rd quarter.  Concussionlike symptoms, after making a tackle.

It's scheduled to come on fox sports southwest at 11.
