Not sure of the names. One of them is the transfer from Lumberton who had to play JV last year.

Arlington loses. Houston now leads by 3.

That's correct. Key hit by Varsho with two strikes and two outs to tie it up.

Astros score 5 in bottom of 10th and win 10-7. Walker with game winning 3 run homer. Astros now lead Arlington by 2.5 (looks like it will be 3) and lead Seattle by 6.

If you are speaking about Silsbee, I don't think anyone has them winning district. I certainly do not.

Abreu SMH

Another TD for the Hawks. And with that, I'm out of here.

HJ with another score.

Kountze starting QB went down with arm injury. Going to be a tough year for the Lions.

Moore and Petry are already done for the night.

HJ first team with another score. Coach Bass told me he will play lots of backups after these first 10 plays with the first teams.

But looking at these two teams, HJ is by far the better team. I think the Hawks could score much more if they wanted to. This scrimmage is the epitome of a controlled scrimmage.

Actually, other than that first play, Kountze defense played well.

HJ scores on first play of scrimmage

Kountze and HJ numbers: Kountze with 20 suited out HJ with 46

Correct. Hardin lost their QB on the 4th play of the scrimmage. Back up wasn't able to play due to being injured a few days before.

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 .
