Houston now with a 2 game lead over Arlington, 5 over Seattle. Wild Card final spot: Astros has 1 1/2 game lead over Twins, 2 over Rangers, 2 1/2 over Guardians

You know as well as I do that scrimmages are run mostly not like real games. In controlled scrimmages there's no kicking game involved, there is no returning of interceptions or fumbles, no tackling of the QB (so no sacks that would put the down and distance different), plays are limited to a certain number therefore a team could be driving but reach their limit of plays, since no kickoffs ball always starts on the 30, 2nd and 3rd teams play (which in most cases they never see the field in games as an entire unit), the play clock is not used so therefore there are no delay of game penalties, etc. etc. Most importantly, there are no won/loss records that include scrimmages. Now, if all high school scrimmages were run just like NFL preseason games, then I could see where one could claim a win or a loss. Even the NFL doesn't keep up with scrimmages between two teams which happens a lot. Most times two teams that play a preseason game will scrimmage each other a day or so beforehand. There are no scores or wins or losses accounted for in those. Even when high school scrimmages are "game like" they are never 100% game like. Most times there is a running clock and the play clock is not used accurately. Let's be honest, there are just too many variables that come into play or not come into play in controlled scrimmages where a win or loss can be claimed. I think it's find to state that one team "dominated, had the upper hand, put a hurting on, etc." on the other team. Particularly when it's obvious that one team is much better than the other or in some cases the team is much worse than the other. To put a win or a loss in a scrimmage is just not an accurate way to assess a scrimmage in my opinion.

Heard Anahuac put a hurting on Hardin tonight.

Must have been during the overtime part. Nobody scored in those first two sets of 12 plays and set of 10 plays. 34 plays for each team and not a score.

Just a few thoughts from Woodville/Lumberton scrimmage: Pretty vanilla from both sides on offense. But Woodville offense did move the ball a little better than Lumberton. Woodville platooned two QB's. Of course neither are on the level of Babin but they can win games with those two. Still running a spread offense. Woodville has to take care of the ball better. Had about 5 fumbles (4 from same player). Lumberton never could get any rhythm in their offense. QB could have been sacked several times. Starting QB (Mitchell) played the first 12 to 15 plays but that was about it. But I didn't stay for the overtime condition part so not sure if he played during that part. Complete controlled scrimmage, no live play at all. Both teams have work to do.

Now they will run overtime conditions. That's my cue to get out of here.

Neither team scored

Correct. Broke it earlier this week.

Two sets of 10 plays for 2nd teams .

In my book, if don't go down in the official won/loss records, it's not a win or a loss. Just my humble opinion.

2nd set of 12 plays: Woodville no score, 4 first downs Lumberton no score, 1 first down

Correction, both 1st teams are running the first 2 sets of 12 plays.

Both 1st teams ran 12 plays each. Neither team scored. Woodville had 2 first downs and 3 fumbles. Lumberton had 2 first downs and 1 fumble. 2nd units will run 12 plays

Numbers for Woodville and Lumberton: Woodville varsity. 28 suited out Lumberton varsity. 51 suited out

Won???? Lol

Confirmed. Babin is cleared to play for Barbers Hill.

Not too sure Breeden will play this year. Broke his wrist in practice the other day. It's possible he could play with a cast but word is that he will shut it down for the season and enroll early at Arkansas, If so, tough loss for BC.

In the DCTF preview for EC, only Fontenot is listed as a QB. No other player is mentioned at that position.

It's my understanding that Woodville checked the box for athletic purposes and the DEC for 18-6A has not met to decide on the eligibility. Barbers Hill was waiting on the PAPF to be sent from Woodville. But that was a month ago.

I do not know "all things EC". I rely on sources from EC. It's very possible that time will be split at the QB position but I understood that Fontenot will play QB.

Barnes and Noble in Beaumont has them. Silsbee Walmart has them as well.

Houston with a 6-3 win over SF. Wesneski with another quality start. 7 IP, 3 runs, 5 hits (2 HR), 4 K's, 2 BB. Hader pitched two perfect innings to get the win. Cam Smith big night at the plate. 3-4, 2 runs, HR, 2 RBI's. Astros remain 1/2 game up on Arlington.

Aren't the majority of these good people Muslim? You know, those folks that you condemn daily here on this site.

Thank you. Will correct.

Looks like I'll be attending these scrimmages: Thurs. Aug 13 Woodville at Lumberton 6pm Friday Aug. 14 Kountze at Hardin-Jefferson 6pm
