This is the second huge loss we have taken in as many years. Thanks to everybody for the condolences and RIP Coach Randy aka Big Dawg. Thank you for the memories and the thousands of lives you impacted over the last quarter century. I know you’re up there living it up with Reggie as I type this post.

Lol this is me coming out of retirement. Kinda like an SETXSports-version of Brett Favre.

I don’t know how good LCM is but I’d be willing to bet they are better than the first two opponents Woodville faced

Karnes City (W 54-6)

Corrigan-Camden (W 48-7)

Final (via Scorestream)

Woodville 48

Corrigan-Camden 7 

Next possession, Warren returns the favor with a deflected pass into their receivers arms. 

Q2 3:14 

Woodville 21

Warren 6

TD Woodville. They've scored 21 points in the last 7 offensive plays. 

Q2 5:06

Woodville 21

Warren 0

Woodville completes a crazy 37-yard pass that was deflects by a Warren DB straight into the arms of the Eagles receiver. Muffed kickoff by Warriors on the ensuing kick. 

Q2 5:32

Woodville 14 

Warren 0

Q2 7:43 

Woodville 7

Warren 0

Q2 8:47

Woodville 0

Warren 0

Woodville scores as time expires, then QB #27 Thompson runs in the 2-point conversion with no time left on the clock for the Woodville win. Lord knows they needed that win before the start of district.

Was wondering if you were still around 

Yeah, I'm still here lol

Woodville +6

Sylvester from Newton will rise to high-4 or possibly a 5-star when it's all said and done. Easily the most highly recruited player in SETX for his class.

Woodville will lose several key athletes. Martin and Brooks are obviously two huge losses. Well bring back 5/6. Or at least somewhere in that range. I still think we have the talent returning to enter as the favorite to win the district. If you can, will you post a link to the all-district picks?

By no means do I feel silly. It just reinforces my opinion that you must run a more balanced offense.can not just run the ball over and over again. EC has the perfect balance. I have picked them earlier to make the regional finals. I believe now they have what it takes to win State. I hope they get it done and we learn something from 3 consecutive years of 2 and out.

What I said had zero to do with your opinion of a balanced offense. I agree with that statement. I was referring to your comments stating that Franklin would easily beat Grandview. Lol

Franklin and Woodville have a totally different rushing scheme than EC. And speed kills, these two backs are crazy fast! 

Neither are faster than Martin from Woodville. They produce as well as they do because of how successful the passing attack is. It makes the linebackers and safeties have to stay honest, so once they hit a hole, there's alot of grass. They're very good though and this should be a great game. Wish I could make it. I'll be in Arlington though hopefully. Maybe I'll see them there with the other two SETX teams I expect to make it two more rounds lol

Grandview by 7.

QB is too good. EC has a very good and physical defense, but I don't see them getting enough pressure on the QB to force him into making bad decisions with the football. Offensively, the Bucs will put up points in bunches, which will keep them in the game and make it a great ballgame. EC won't be able to run the ball unless they open up lanes with a successful passing attack. Grandview has beaten arguably the two best rushing offenses in the state in class 3A (Woodville and Franklin) in consecutive weeks. It'll be a great game. Go Bucs! Not too shabby for a "down" year lol

I bet longball feels pretty silly lol

If you haven’t noticed this game stirred me up . I hope the kids get an apology from the coaches for how this game turned out. There are no excuses .

That's much more reasonable of a response. I understand your frustration, believe me. It is warranted, but coaches grow and develope just like players. Maybe this taught them something too.

District championships are a dime a dozen . A good coach will throw that trophy in the garbage to go more than 3 rounds deep. Another thing our middle school kid are better suited to run the spread. They have look at all the kids not just the ones they think are QB material. The only time they know what a Qb looks like is when he is beating them like they stole something.

I guess you missed the part where I said there was alot of talent coming up for Woodville. You also may want to research the backgrounds of some of the coaches on our staff before you make the comments referring to their knowledge of the QB position lol

No Franklin won’t let 1 person beat them. Game over at halftime. Franklin 63 Grandview 14

Don't hold your breath waiting on that score prediction to materialize.

Franklin has a good pass d and a very good run d... It will be a good game next week

I never doubted that it will be a great game lol I just think Grandview will be able to spread the defense enough to allow their QB to pick apart Franklin's secondary either through the air or on the ground with their triple option. It'll be a great game though. No doubt.

When it comes to the offense, you all have expressed the right sentiment numerous times. The development of a passing game, which begins with the development of a QB from an early age. Grandview showed what a QB with a great football IQ and a reliable arm can do for a team.

On the bright side..... Our 8th grade QB can air it out and drops back to pass more each game than the varsity did all season. Next year will be a rebuilding year, if there is such a thing at the high school level, but trust and believe that there is a wealth of talent coming up in the next 2-5 years.

Woodville was out-coached and took a good ole fashion butt whoopin. I hate to say it, but we may have needed it. Woodville was much more athletic than Grandview. It's amazing how much a well-coached QB and brilliantly designed offensive scheme can do for a team. Well done Grandview. I like them over Franklin next week.

How were the last three years wasted though? This staff has given several young men free rides to college, completed the first ever undefeated regular season, doubled our number of total playoff wins, broken our record for total wins in  a season twice, won 3 straight district championships, won 22 straight district games, and SHATTERED every rushing record but single-game yardage. There's more but you get my point. Look at a more broad view. State championships should be every team's seasonal goal, yes. But sending kids to college and keeping them off the streets is far and above a more rewarding accomplishment. We've got alot of work to do, but we're headed in the right direction for sure.

Halftime

Woodville 14

Grandview 28

Grandview heating it up on offense. Mainly on the ground. The QB makes the entire team. Without him at QB/S, this isn't a contest. He makes the offense work as effectively as it does. Woodville has made a few stupid mistakes and given up a couple big plays for scores. Woodville needs to step it up on the offensive line and adjust to the fast-paced Grandview offense.

TD Grandview. XP good.

Q2 0:21

Woodville 14

Grandview 28
