Splendora will have a very very long year. Offensively they're scrappy, but they're not near good enough to out score teams in that district. And that's the only way they'll be able to compete and that's just not gonna happen. Defensively they're just not very good, they play extremely hard but teams in that district will pretty much score at will. Orangefield pretty much ran right through them all night and should have scored again late in the half, but stupid penalties pushed them back from inside the 15 to midfield and they later missed a 52 yard field goal. 

They do have an awesome new turf field to be proud of, and once the stadium is complete it'll be very nice.

7-7 tie after a half of play with a running clock

Both first teams score 2 touchdowns each. All on big plays.

2nd teams playing now

We do need to be more balanced and I believe that's the plan, but if it ain't broke don't fix it. Watkins will be tough to replace, he was a threat to take it to the house from the qb position. But more balance will help with that. I just wished we would do some drop back passes to go with our bootleg passing game. I know our offense sets up the bootleg rollout type plays, but a simple 3 step drop to hit a slant or quick hitter to the tight end or back out of the backfield would add another dimension to this offense. When defenses stack the box with 9 defenders to stop the run, the middle of the field always seems open to me, maybe it's not but it seems to be. Just my opinion...

I think our offense fits the type of kids we have. We've been pretty good on the offensive side of the ball for the past 5 years are so. Nothing against both Kress and Gonzales but I'm not sure either would flourish in a spread type offense. Both run our offense extremely well, so it's a luxury to have two QB's that you can trust to run your offense if something was to happen to the other. With all that said, I do expect us to try to throw the ball more often this season. And I've noticed in practice that both QB's can get that done. 

Yes Kress is back, Gonzales kid is the back up and you are so correct about us not having enough skilled players, lol ok

Both teams were very vanilla, neither team ran more than 4 or 5 different plays. Orangefield has a very big offensive line, but Shepherd gave them fits. They stacked the box with 9 guys and it was hard to get much going. Orangefield did have one nice drive for the only score of the game. 

Shepherd lost a ton, but showed signs of being pretty good. If they can get the shot gun snap down their offense will be more effective, if not they might want to get under center more. That high snap was throwing off their timing on almost every play. 

Orangefield defensively looked pretty good, thought we would struggle some but we had some kids step up. Offensively like I said above, was very very basic. I'm sure we'll be ok by the time real football starts. We definitely have the size and some pretty good backs, and with a new OC calling plays it's going to take some time for everyone to get on the same page.

Roschon Johnson named starter at PNG. Timing a little off on short throws, but on the money with deep balls. I think I only so 3-4 passes dropped while I was there for the first practice. That includes all drills. Austin Bost completed 2 of 3 passes when in. 

Orangefield looks a little bigger than years past to me. They weren't doing a lot of skill stuff when I was there.

WOS ran the entire time I was there. The crazy thing though was that only 11 freshmen showed up. Numbers continue to shrink.

I know the emphasis in Orangefield the past few years has been getting bigger and stronger. You can definitely see that in the kids this year and last. Even without pads on right now we look big and that's not usually something we're able to say lol. Need some young kids to step up this year, lost several 3 year starters last year but I believe we have some talented kids to help fill that void. Probably have the largest line I've seen since the late 80's, and with a new play caller I believe our kids are going to surprise some people.

I thought he was talking about Orangefield

Who's classless here, a team cheering for a team that cheered for them, a team they bonded with throughout the tournament, a team they exchanged personal info with to keep in touch with them or someone getting on a message board calling high school kids classless. Hmmmm I think we know who's butt hurt 

I don't see WOS having any problems with Giddings if that's who they meet up after this next round. They have some athletes but nothing on the level of the Stangs. Now if their QB is back they might give the Stangs a little trouble, but even then I just don't see it. Defensively the Stangs will be able to do what they do and if #25 is the QB then they'll try to run the ball with him. He throws the deep ball pretty well, but he's not very accurate on the short to medium passes. I believe the Stangs will eat him alive and punish him all night. He's not super quick or fast but when we would get pressure on him which was often, he would take off and run and break tackles. He won't be able to do that against the Stangs. 

Offensively the Stangs shouldn't have any problem putting a lot of points on the board. We moved the ball well at times last night, but some negative plays on first down and some turnovers killed some scoring opportunities. Actually both our TD's last night were on pass plays, and we did some good things off of our shot gun spread formation last night. Dallas and the Stangs offense should move the ball at well against them.

Very impressed with Westbrook last night, they have some very athletic guards. Orangefield played them tough for 3 quarters but ran into some foul trouble and couldn't keep up. They will make some noise in their district this year.
