[i]La Marque chalked up it's 500th win after the 7th game of the season in 2007[/i] [i]Yes.....that is an elite group. Kudos to Nederland[/i]

[quote name="football04" post="937565" timestamp="1293055757"] There are alot of 3a schools that can play with LaMarque, everyone thought WOS would have 4 titles by now in 3a and they don't even have one, sometimes LaMarque is great, sometimes their not. While they would beat 90% of 3a teams, they may not win the title every year. [/quote]Just because we have been to the State Title game 10 times does not guarantee anything regardless of classification. You are correct sir. 

Tim Wright...... Someone mentioned that he is a Beast at running back. We're hoping he is close to 100% for the Calallen game. He has a God-given talent that if he plays his cards right we'll be watching him on Saturday in a few years. [img][Hidden Content]]

If only we could just beat them once ! Everyone has their Achilles Heal though.

My playing time was over 4 decades ago.Although I do help my wife of 36 years with the laundry from time to time, I hire others to do those sort of things with the three businesses I own.  It's been interesting reading your comments though.  8)

[quote name="Scooter!" post="927161" timestamp="1291597767"] LM my pick to take state. that RB is a beast! [/quote]And just think I posted up hilites of that young man (only a junior by the way) earlier in the year. I was squashed numerous times while trying to give him a little recognition on this popular website. He is playing with pain though, has two bad ankles going into the playoffs. He could (yeh..yeh I know. If Ands and Butts don't get you anything) very easily be approaching 2500 yards by now if not hampered by them. But that is part of the game. I would like to share this with you though [url=[Hidden Content] of La Marque vs Manvel Part II (playoffs)Hilites of La Marque vs Manvel Part II (playoffs)[/url]   <<<<<click here Make sure to choose the expanded screen and the HD option, makes for better viewing.  8)

[quote name="Scooter!" post="926727" timestamp="1291568661"] Thanks. Watched this one from the iPhone earlier. Manvel has discipline issues. I saw numerous late hits amongst other things. Dirtiest team i've seen all year [/quote]Modern technology.....I love it. There are so many ways we can get our sports fix nowadays. Manvel is and will be a force in the coming years. Remember they have only been playing varsity ball for 3 years. A very young program full of fire. Making it the Region III finals already, how many teams represented on this board would love to make it to the region finals. Don't get me wrong, you are correct personal fouls and late hits did cost Manvel yardage. But that is not what lost the game for them. Getting to that level in the playoffs intensifies the reality of the situation. This was La Marque's 15th time in the last 19 season to be in the Region III Championship. Most of the players on the 2010 La Marque team were watching these types of games in diapers. It is in their blood. That "La Marque Mystique" is part of an elite class that the likes of Katy, Southlake Carrol, Plano, Odessa Permian, etc possess.

[quote name="LMMan" post="926719" timestamp="1291567556"] Yes back in 96 or 97 La Marque won state in d2 and Texas City won it in D1.  I believe it was 23-4a back then though. [/quote]1997,La Marque won it's third consecutive State Title. 1995 was the last unified title in Class 4A ,1996 and 1997 were in Class 4A Div. II. Texas City was the champion in Div I in 1997. La Marque went to the title again in 1998, making it 6 consecutive years. The only time that was done by any team in any division in the State of Texas was in the early 1920's, which was Waco. Unfortunately that powerhouse of a team from Stephenville kept La Marque from winning it in 3 of those 6 years.

[quote name="fatmaverick" post="926391" timestamp="1291513082"] Go Cougars!! Represent 24-4A!! [/quote]thank you....the front line on both sides of the ball for Manvel are beasts !!

Thank you!!!   More teams in South East Texas should be using UStream. The fans who were unable to attend the live event can watch the replay. Someone down there in La Marque is using every means they can to help their student/athletes get recognition for the next level. Plus the moms and dads probably enjoy it too.  8)

[quote name="#5 fever" post="923998" timestamp="1291264744"] I don't see were La Marque was so dominate as bad as dayton played only 23 and we have turnovers in the red zone I hope you guys didn't win district. [/quote]We were defeated by the other team from District 24-4A that is playing for the Region III Div. I title.....Friendswood. They won the district.

[quote name="mikehoncho" post="925520" timestamp="1291434013"] I've got your "fella" [/quote]And I've got Five Rings..... 8)

Like I said before......La Marque is still considered South East Texas.

[quote name="PNGFan" post="921650" timestamp="1290995625"] Should be a large crowd!!! Maybe a few hundred on each side??? [/quote]Definitely not 100 band members, if you are referring to La Marque's band  8)

[/quote]Yes sir....who knows. La Marque basically shot themselves in the foot during the first half also with numerous turnovers. Congrats to Dayton on having a well coached team and an excellent program. Their program reminds me of the 90's when La Marque went to the 'Big Show"  six years in a row. It is the 15th time in the past 19 seasons the Coogs are playing for the region 3 title...between 1992 and 2006 LM was in every regional final except for 2001...they are back in familiar territory after a 3 year absence.

Sometimes your memory is more accurate when you get a chance to see the game again.....enjoy [url=[Hidden Content] Marque vs Datyon 2010La Marque vs Dayton 2010[/url]

[quote name="purplepride" post="921065" timestamp="1290920330"] I was VERY impressed with LaMarque! They are very very good on both sides! We had some "my bad" plays but LM came with their A game. I know this is petty but.......I thought it rude when our player got hurt and they didn't take a knee for us like we did when their QB got hurt. JMO! NEVER THE LESS! Great job LM, if we had to lose, I hope we lost to the BEST! Good Luck Next week and make us proud! I hope you do NOT take this rude as I DO NOT mean it rude, BUT, yall got to cut down on your penalties! Can you imagine how much yall could have beat us by if not for your penalties! (Yes, we had some too! Just sayin....for next week when I pray yall beat Manvel! They are pretty good at penalties too!) Anyway, just want to say yall are good, oh, lmcoog, I think your wrong.....I look for your team to beat Manvel, and btw, I like your posts on setxsports even when you call our district cupcake, haha, I think it is funny but you actually tell the truth like it is! Again, congrats LaMarque and I wish you the best! GO BRONCOS NEXT YEAR! [/quote]good post.....good post

[quote name="ricko" post="920166" timestamp="1290888044"] Just going on what I've seen, Dayton should win this easy.  It shouldn't be close.  I'll say 35-14 or so. [/quote]what were you watching might I ask?

[quote name="RCOLE68" post="881266" timestamp="1287542263"] I know Montgomery is not in the SETX region also but this Dobbins kid is special- Ask Brenham they know. Here is last years highlights with some of the Crosby game which he caught ball (50 yds) on the 1 and time ran out. Just trying to join the conversation.  [Hidden Content] [/quote]Excellent video...someone did a very job in preparing it. Dobbins is special and I applaud anyone who spends the time to help these young men get the credit they deserve. Even if he does make the other team look like they will trip just getting off the bus.  ;D

[/quote]Jersey #2, when you have a God-given talent such as this young man, most teams do appear like you described. By the way does anyone have any hi-lites of the other young men described on this thread? I would like to watch them. I prefer to compliment talent when I see it, all of our student/athletes deserve it. I also leave the negative comments to others in describing any team who is proud to wear a uniform, even if their moms and dads didn't teach them how to step out of a bus.
