    BH didn't "expect" to be in the playoffs? OMG, half the teams make the playoffs. What exactly does BH expect then? 

    Fellow Chambers County fella...no, we always expect to be in the playoffs, for the most part.  After the merger of 21/22 5A, most in the 22-5A, 21-5A, and many in these smaller classification wrote the Hill's chances off.  They said with PNG, Ned, Vidor, Crosby, Dayton, and even Santa Fe coming from that hellacious district, that we would be competing to stay out of the cellar with the likes of Lee (and didn't they surprise some people, us included).  As the year progressed, it wasn't so much being at the bottom, but finishing just out of playoff contention.  No, I and most Eagles don't like squeaking into the playoffs in 3rd and atop the old 21-5A, but being competitive with the likes of PNG, Nederland, Crosby, Dayton and even Manvel last night is damn sure a step in the right direction.  I am old enough to remember when EC and BH were the same classification, that EC couldn't stay on the field with BH...back when 1 team went to the playoffs.  Yay for EC, you won handily last night, keep it up!

    Holy cow....I just saw on MaxPreps that we had 500yds against Manvel with our backup-backup QB.  Granted, he had a rough 3qtr, but to come in and throw for 455yds...great job #12.  Now, if we could have figured out how to have stopped their 591yd outburst and redo the 3rd qtr....LOL.  Man, that 3Qtr killed us...other than that, we matched them!  Great job BH this year for a team that many didn't expect would be in the playoff hunt, you patched things together pretty well with some key backups!!

    Obviously I am a Homer, but for the Hill to beat Manvel, even a "Less-than-Manvel" Manvel team, they will have to play better than they played against PNG and Santa Fe.  Our run defense is pretty dang salty, especially on the edges...our secondary...that's an entirely different story.  PNG at our lunch with a strong passing QB, Santa Fe did too.  If our D plays like those 7 or 8 minutes in the 3rd against SF, then we have a chance.  Other than those few minutes in the 3rd, we looked like any ol 3rd or 4th place district team.  Obviously, I'm pulling for the Eagles...Eagle Proud and I hope we go with #15 QB.  He seemed much more confident when he was in the ballgame to me and it looked as though the offense responded well too.  Nothing against #12, I just think the team seemed to respond better...couldn have  just been that night, who knows.
