Hey Tigervoice.....need to borrow some aspirin???

I predicted a close one. Never in a million years would I have thought Hardin would put up over 50 against Buna. As always, this district stays interesting. Looks like Anahuac has the inside track to the championship.

So much for Buna dominating anyone!! Way to go Hornets!!

You see this kind of story on ESPN occasionally. Nice to hear it happened somewhere close to home.

Hey Doc! Take two aspirins, get some rest and call me Monday morning I think both of these teams will need the aspirin more than I will. Should be a bruiser. Do I know you????

Another awesome thing to read on this site today (the other being what Chester is doing for High Island) besides who is going to beat who and who is talking trash about someone else. Wish I could have seen that. It brings a smile to my face and a tear to my eye to know that there is still some compassion in the world. my deepest congratulations to the coaches of both schools. Something like this puts a lot of things in the world in perspective.

Go Hornets! Hardin 35 Buna 34 Going to be a close one.

Way to go Chester ISD. This is truly an amazing thing.

I treat OS in my office with great results. If interested send me a personal message, I will be glad to discuss it with you.

I haven't seen many replays of the blocked kicks that Tech has suffered but in my opinion, if you have two kickers and they are both getting kicks blocked I would look at the O line and get with the line coach. Something is just not right and everyone else in the conference is seeing. Now, if the kickers can't get it up off the ground then it is their problem, but BOTH kickers? As a freshman, something like this can really get in your head, so I hope Carona is able to handle it and stay focused. He has along career ahead of him if he wants it.

Don't tell me former Kelly kicker D. Carona and the other Tech kicker may to lose their jobs to a complete stranger?! I saw on ESPN today the Tech coaches may give this kid who kicked a 30 yd FG during a contest at one of their games a try as the kicker. What's up with that?!

I have to say, I didn't give D'ville much of a chance at the beginning of the season. I watched them play EC and thought they did well in spots. They gave up some big plays though. It great to see them pick it up after the EC game and get competitive. Best of luck the rest of the way Pirates. Buna is not going to be a push over by any stretch of the imagination but they are beatable. Oh and by the way, that light pole will probably never get moved...I rememeber it being where it is as far back as 1985. Every stadium has it traditions and stories, I guess Buna's has its light pole to be proud of! LOL

New coach, new system, somethings just take time. Look at Michigan. I heard from a friend the new coach is a good guy and everyone likes him. It is just going to take time for him to get the kids where he wants them to be. If there wasn't much to build on from the year before that sure doesn't make it any easier. Good luck Panthers on down the road

This really surprises me. Congrats to Anahuac. What is going on out in Buc land?

I agree with TheCardinalFan, inthis Kountze situation, one can only assume that the "AD/Trainer" was using his authority to get the coach to the sidelines. Everyone sees an assistant coach go out and try to diffuse a situation like that all the time so there is no telling what they were talking about. IF by some chance an AD (who is not the football head coach) is trying (during a game no less) to control the situation there are serious problems in that school.

The Hornets keep on rolling 28-14 over the Lions!

Budget doesn't have anything to do with hiring assistants. Teaching jobs available plays an important part. I have seen some ADs come in and have free reign to assemble the staff they want. This may involve reassigning present coaches to lower (freshman or JV or even junior high positions) to make room for varsity assistants. I have also seen ADs come in and the adiministration put a freeze on the staff, meaning no changes can be made for a year. It just depends on the school board and admin and how bad they want a certain coach for AD. e

EC better rise to this occasion to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot. I go with EC in this one 21-14

In grad school I once asked a professor what made a professional athlete's (let's use Ken Griffey Sr and K Griffey Jr for example) kid become a great athlete. Was it his genetics or was it that he was around the game and its great players and their impact on him his whole life that helped make him a great athlete. His answer was....YES. I feel like you throw in some good athletes as well as a strong tradition and good coach and for the most part there will be success. The parental support mentioned above is a definite positive as well. That's why teams such as WOS, Newton, EC and several others are consistently competitive. Every kid wants to play for his school's team. When you go to a game and you watch the little boys hanging by the fence to high five the players as they run by and hear them talk about being a varsity player and going to the playoffs when they get to high school, THAT is where things all start to blend in and form a winning program. Just my humble opinion, like everyone else.

Well we have only heard one side. Someone fill in the blanks. What is "the rest of the story?"

Another upset tonight in this district. Who wants to win it? I wouldn't have predicited this one either. Everyone has a loss except Anahua and Buna, right?......so far anyway.....he he

EC can you say "wait until next week?" Must have been looking down the road.....

Another stunning upset tonight! I wouldn't have picked this one. Way to go Rebels

I will be one of the first to say I never thought Hardin would win this one. Wow. this district race is ALWAYS interesting, especially with what has happened tonight. I know I should have gone to this game tonight!!! :'(

I do want to make one more comment...careful there BUCS, don't look past Hardin to Anahuac. It might bite you in the butt.
