Gonna be hard to get to sleep tonight after taking a loss under those circumstances.

Can't count Crosby out for sure , but if BH and SF don't stumble, I can see the four playoff teams being those two with Ned and PNG

38-34 Final Splendora. Kinda feeling sick right now

I know what you mean. Always tough to lose a lead late in the game.

Seems like Dayton is putting it together late in the season.

Congratulations Sandies!  Good game Lions.

Didn’t see this one coming. 

Indians are a good team, saw that last week against Vidor.  Still thought Crosby would pull out a close one.

BH made some halftime adjustments.

thanks Boneyard, got enough time to come back but need to tighten up defense.

time left?

Sounds like a good one!

Penalty forces us to pass and this one is picked over the middle and this one is returned for a touchdown

I just have a hard time seeing Grapeland or Lovelady as setx teams  

Both teams are pure East Texas, but both ranked so turning out to be a good one to cover.  Grapeland is my old hometown, (the '50's) so Go Sandies!!

Hard to believe- how little we pass, & in obvious passing situations, BH is still playing the run.  At least that's how it sounds.  

Supposedly worked on  passing game this week. tried it  some last week, but an uncontested drop  in the end zone and an overthow of a wide open receiver cost a couple of TDs.

Funny story about Marrin he worked for the railroad in Vidor slinging railroad ties his arms became very strong so he had a very powerful throwing arm. He played in the 1970’s and could throw laser. Supposedly he played in game against one of the Beaumont schools and came near beating them or something like that . 

Yeah, Vidor played all the Beaumont 4A schools then, French, BCP, Forest Park, South Park and Beaumont High, so it probably was against one of them.

Any of you remember a QB from Vidor who could throw the ball named Marrin Tolbert 

Yes, he played in the mid-70's if I remember right.

QB's completion ratio has to be way up there, completed a ton of short passes with a few downfield too.  Pirates on the other hand have a dropped pass wide open in the end zone, then an overthrown pass to another receiver wide open over the middle.  Catches there are two touchdowns.

Good win over a very good Crosby team.  Congratulations Indians.

I love my Pirates but we will always struggle against proficient passing attacks.  It's practically impossible to prepare for an offensive you don't usually run.

And that was a proficient passing attack.  Like to see the run/pass ratio, I sure it was lopsided toward the pass.

Some stout teams for sure.

Santa Fe was my preseason pick for 4th. They came from an absolutely nasty district.

Manvel district?

Santa Fe defensed our offense  as well or better than anybody I've seen. Other than giving up that 68 yard TD run on the first play of the game, they limited our usual big plays.  Indian QB is the real deal, accurate with his passes and a good runner as well.  Receivers have good hands and good YAC.  They used the short passes like a run, picking up 5-6-7 yards and  then would go over the top downfield. They deserved to win and played a solid game in all phases. Congratulations Indians.

No fireworks this year. Just lights out marching and fire boards   Also if turf is coming school board and superintendent know nothing about it.
