  1. Eagles, great season. I was surprised by Dangerfield's level of talent. A few aspects about the first half of the game that I disagreed with were the referees' disregard for foul plays by the other team, which I think psychologically destroyed the squad. All in all, I'm excited about the Eagles' December play and am looking forward to next season.

    Very tough season but very proud of this team. Lots of serious injuries and could've easily quit after being blown out by Kingwood Park which is where I actually thought we were at that point in the season. I think there are some seniors that next year's team will benefit from having graduated. Last time we finished 6-5 with a first round loss was 2011 and that kicked off a good stretch of football for us. I think we're going to have more kids next year whose main focus will be on winning versus receiving individual accolades. 

    As far as the game, the things that needed to go wrong for us to get blow out did but after being blown out multiple times this year this result was probably more probably than possible. I know the Longview fans feel great about their team, as they should, but this version of LV isn't some all-timer. Outside of running back they're not better than the Aledo team we lost to in the title game at any position. DBs are their strongest position group and they're still not on the level that Aledo team was with the Allen brothers. Going to be hard to win state with a QB going 2-10 for 29 yards on a defense that's not that great. You can blame it on the weather but I said earlier in the year that it would be hard to win with Allen playing QB and I wouldn't say anything different now. If Crosby had DBs that would've just turned around Allen would've thrown 3 gimmie' interceptions. LV didn't complete one pass to a wide receiver, so while Hale is great he's not going to beat you with Allen playing QB. Those other receivers are a non-factor, they really don't even get meaningful targets. To LV's credit though, they figured out how to get Hale the ball in other ways for him to be effective. 

    LV may well win state but I think it's going to be tough for them to score consistently on anybody that Tatum can't run the number up on, like it was against Lancaster. Going to be interesting to see if LV can beat them at a neutral site? I think that game and the potential Aledo game would be their toughest test in the state regardless of if they were to make the title game.  

    Bottom line is it's time to get ready for round ball, Crosby. Go Lobos!

    If the Kats would pass at the beginning of the game instead of 4th quarter they could've won the last 2 games. Hemphill will be hard to beat.

    I believe the Wildcats do have great potential to be a competitive team. They play with heart but they have to develop follow through tactics. What's hurting them now is wide receivers and defensive (not wrapping up on tackles). Lastly, they need to mix up plays on offense side of the ball to keep the opponent guessing. That's why they lost the last two games in a close ones.

    Playing three 2A teams should prepare them to go to state. You have to go to 6 man to get any lower. Do not brag on Hemphill until they play a decent team in their class. 

    Where in my comment did I say anything about Hemphill being a state caliber team? Read before commenting. I only said they were a good team not a power house team. I sense worrisome in you.🤣 Good luck to both teams this Friday and pray for no injuries.
