Sounds like somebody wants to get together a 20 4A All-Star team. ;)

Bridge City 28

That dang extra point thing again! -
Really though, polls are just opinions based on factors like stats, wins, returning starters, recent success, strength of opponents, etc. Kinda cool that East Texas has Texarkana, Tyler J.T. and Marshall ranked together at 10,11 and 12. Not sure that these three are all in the same district though.
-
I see where Texas High's win over Vidor moved them up to #10, a 9 spot jump.
-
Was surprised by the closeness of the game due to Vidor only having 2 returning starters on each side of the ball and the quality of the opponent. The next 2 non-district games, BC and K'ville, should show if the Pirates are indeed a team that should have previous expectations elevated.
-
I agree, should be a great game and close. I just don't see a 2 or 3 TD win by either team, more like a 7 or 10 point spread.

This incident has Buddy Garrity's fingerprints all over it!
-
Any team that can win 4 games in 20-4A is usually a lock for the playoffs or at least in a tie for a playoff spot.

Amazing...4 weeks ago we were destined to be the "cellar dwellers" of the district and now there's talk of us making the playoffs (which I believe we will) I love it!!! 8)

Actually, Vidor and Ozen were picked as cellar dwellers. -
It will be interesting to see how the Eagles fare when Barbay goes into retirement. Will they continue the high standards Newton football achieved under Barbay or will there be a noticeable dropoff? How much of the success can be attributed to talent and how much to coaching is a question that can come up when the head coach of a respected program like Newton's retires or is replaced.
-
Look for the district favorite Indians to break the two game losing streak this week against the Cougars.
-
Lumberton should take this one. I believe some people have underestimated the Raiders this year.
-
I doubt Vidor will score 50 against BC, but I seriously doubt they will be shut out.
-
Overtime games do not come out well for the Pirates. 2 OT loss to Ozen in 2000 for the district championship, then the classic OT shootout with Central last year and now the 2 OT loss to Texas High. A conversion jinx seems to be in place with failed 2 point conversion tries in the first two, then a missed PAT late in regulation vs. T.H. that caused this game to go into OT.

"Dock of the Bay" : see Otis Redding, "Sittin by the"

Toss up, high scoring, but close.

Kinda funny reading most of these predictions now.
-
It's early, plenty of time for improvement.

This incident reminds of the mailbox in front of the empty lot in Dillon that Buddy Garrity put up!
When this nefarious plot was found out, Luke had to quit the Panthers and enroll at East Dillon. -
Looks like the Pats are turning the ball over quite a bit.
-
I think he played in the mid-70's, '74, '75 maybe.

I agree that a diversified offense is harder to defend than a one dimensional attack. In Vidor's case, they probably wouldn't have to throw more than 20% of their plays to loosen up the defense. Most teams play against the slot T with 8, (or more), defenders in the box. The threat of a receiver getting behind that run-stop defense becomes very real with a credible passing game.
Vidor vs. BC Predictions?
