I 100% agree - From 2004-2009 we had some really good girls basketball players in our area.

This stuff is usually cyclical and I would guess that the girls will experience a return to prominence at some point in the future. Think about it Santa, it wasnt but two years ago that you were suggesting that HJ abandon its football program and here they stand undefeated and enjoying some state wide recognition.

Here is something "witty" for ya..... How many WOS Mustangs does it take on defense to beat Newton???? Who cares!!!!!!! The starting 11 couldn't get it done!!!!!! Whoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you...... I'll be here all week... Yeah, I did say we took a dump on the field.... We really didn't... You see, that is basically a reference of dis-respect.... I'll explain, for those of you that have never played football ie stangx4, Garrity, skipper, let me break this down for you.... When someone says you "cant" do something that is definitely doable, like beat big, tough Jasper, Tatum, or WOS for that matter,  you know, good teams, it kinda lights a fire in your belly..... And if you have seen my belly well you know there's room for a lot of fire hahahahaha ... You know what Im saying stangx3.... Anyway, you kinda get a little disrespectful on the field of battle..... And this gentlemen, is my battlefield.... There is a new sheriff in town...... Well that's a figure of speech.... Do you guys learn about that stuff in Port Arthur or West Orange?... Anyway, We are not really lawmen, and we did not really take a dump on anyones field.... We just went to their house and whipped their @........ You see that's what we do....... We get on the field of battle, and even when things get tough, we dig down deep and we get it on...... Head on...... We are on a high right now thinking State Championship...... We know its week by week... I am the fan, I am the real "dirty bird" that is looking forward to playing and whooping the mighty mustangs like they stole something...... My community is a little more respectful than I..... You see, I was raised in Beaumont's North End.... Where men are men, disrespect runs rampid, and crime is at a high rate....  It's all about "home training"..... You know what Im saying StangX 107?

I figured he was implying HF was a bye week type of opponent.

They need to rebuild their youth program.

Lots of teams having much needed success after being down for awhile. Lots of successful programs struggling a bit this yr too. Weird season to say the least.

I really enjoy when teams who have not had much sucess get to have some good seasons. Congrats to HJ as well as Buna and Shelbyville. These teams and communities all need their turn as well at enjoying the sucess.

I have to give it up! He said and stood behind his word that HJ would be a force this year and they have beat a few good teams. I think they can get a few rounds deep in the playoffs for sure.

Gracias amigo!!

Congrats on the best season HJ has ever had! These kids are playing some solid ball this year. Good luck to your kids as well bro!

Where to even begin, well first off the district thing. That is a long ways off, I don't like putting the cart before the horse. If we keep rollin as we are, and even though I think we will that is still a big IF, it will come down to Jasper at home in week <fill in blank>. Most likely both teams will be undefeated in district when we meet. That said there were still things Huffman has to work on to make sure we keep improving.
 
On the Silsbee QB situation. It is harder I think than first perceived, #5 came in the second half and had success running the ball (aka clock, which Huffman was more than happy to let him do) but I know the Huffman squad and know that by the beginning of the second half they were already cycling in extra players for play time on defense. Think offense started doing this mid-way through the 3rd. That said I like the second guy if he gets some time to run that read option as both 5 and 2 look really good running downhill. When we could get a helmet on them early we bottled them up. The first QB has a really strong arm but really floats it when he throws it on the run which was much of the time. 

St413 I think I mentioned changing qbs back in week one! Nkw silsbee is 1-5. Kind of a little too late in the season.

We couldn't cover their receivers. And when we dropped extra guys back for coverage, the qb would pick a hole and take what yards he could get. As far as our offense, we can't give Partain enough protection so he can't be accurate. He is the better passer between him and Thomas but i think the passing game is going to be a little better if we start letting Thomas run the show. This as a result of his running threat. I don't think teams will be able to send as much pressure giving him more time to throw the ball.

I am thinking that the Tigers may need to make the switch at qb for the duration of the season. I think the only way this offense is going to get going is to have a qb that is a running threat. The defense has to respect his rushing ability meaning less pressure on both him and the rb.

HJ is sloppy.... We cut out the penalties and Tatum is in trouble...

The defense did a good job. Brooks had a good night rushing he had a few good runs in there to get those numbers. Both of Our qb's are young, you have to expect some mistakes. We had several plays tonight that were quite possibly long td receptions that were just off the mark either too long or too short. We completed one of them on our first series but the reciever had to wait on the ball and lost the 5 yards or so he had on the nearest defender.

We Tiger fans knew this year would be slow starting but hoped we would get rolling by now. Throughout these first five games, I have noticed some fundamentals that the Tigers have had problems with through the years, especially tackling and blocking on the offensive line. I have always believed in good hard practice leading to good play. I have heard several times the last year or two that our practices lack hitting. To me if that is truly the case it plays a huge part in some of these problems. We have these mistakes by our young QBs and some of them if not most of them have been caused by poor protection leading to quick and poor decisions. We have also had problems, and I can remember this as far back as the JJ years with sometimes several snaps a game over the qbs head. I know we had one tonight that I thought was going to end in a safety and several the QB had to jump to catch. These are things that we should be able to limit. Hopefully we get there soon.

Silsbee with 18 turnovers (10 fumbles, 8 INT's) thru first 5 games will not cut it. -9 in turnover ratio.
 
I thought Silsbee defense played well enough to win tonight, offense is struggling.
 
We Tiger fans just a bit spoiled over the last 7 years at QB position. (Jeremy Johnson, Kelson McDaniel, Patrick Reed).
 
I still believe Silsbee makes playoffs, but we need to start playing better football real soon before things start snow balling.

Hey look over there it is a Kirbyville thread.......go get on it.

We wouldn't have it any other way!!!!!!!!!!

That and LCM better than they are given credit for.
