[Hidden Content] Here is a link to the bracket. The following teams are in it: Nederland>Westbrook WOS> Silsbee HCYA Baytown Sterling PNG Central> Port Arthur Memorial>The Village Nederland or Silsbee should win the top part of the bracket, and Central or The Village will probably win the lower part of the bracket.

What is up with the North Shore fans? I can hear them on the broadcast. Very disrespectful throughout the entire game.  :-[

Thanks! Will be listening from The Woodlands! Good Luck Dawgs!!

For Nederland, I would say the New York Jets or Baltimore Ravens. Strong, dominant Defense and an offense that 'manages the game'.

[quote name="jake94" post="1125059" timestamp="1321763392"] Ugly game. The defenses dominated for the most part. Until, OT when the Dogs passing game came alive! Colton Kimler is a beast! Only a soph. [b]We gotta him the ball more[/b]. He makes things happen and is tough to bring down. Great job again, Dogs! One game at a time. Keep playing defense and limit the mistakes on offense and who knows? Good luck Vidor Pirates, Ozen Panthers, WOS Mustangs,, Dayton Broncos, Memorial Titans, and Kelly Bulldogs too! [/quote] I agree.

You deserve it by winning more district games. I'm not a fan of 4 teams in the playoffs in a district with 8 teams. It teaches mediocrity. Three should be the max , IMO, in a district with 8 teams, and 2 teams with a 6 team district. Sure it's great that Ozen is doing well, but I bet there are not many other 4th place teams still in the playoffs. It's more the exception than the rule. Growing up, I can never remember being excited in the 100m dash when I finished in 4th place out of 8 runners. [/quote] [b]No problem EZDawg and I agree with you about our spoiled kid. I like California's way of doing it, I work there quite a bit, maybe we should split the state. I don't know the answer...[/b] Fellas, I don't think the issue is sending so many teams. It's the fact that Texas has so many kids in school it's hard demographically to make districts that are fair travel and otherwise to all the teams. It's either we take 4A and make two divisions out of it or we make 4A or add more As on the top end (7A?) and the teams travel across the state according to their size. There are a heck of a lot more kids and schools now than there were in the 70s when I was a kid. It's no more unrealistic now than when we (Vidor) had to play in a 5A district in the 90s when we had the same number of kids as PNG or Nederland. We played in 4 team districts in the 70s. Simple math. [/quote] I understand where you're coming from with travel and all, but back when you and I played, only the best team (s) made it to the playoffs, and it made it so that every game in district was important. Football (and sports in general) teach kids how to approach life. For example, I've observed a lot of young kids who want to work a 30 hour week and get paid a 40 hour week. Just look at the direction our country is going. I know AAW, we are suppose to discuss this in the political forum-sorry.  8) For me, it's more about the bigger picture...Again, JMO. [/quote] [/quote] Ya Robanadana, I don't know the answer either. It's definitely a concern for a lot of people, because it keeps on coming up. It's good to talk about so people can consider ideas from different people. I just hope they stop at four. A fear I have is that they allow all teams to make the playoffs. Many people say that will never happen. But it use to be 1 until the mid-80's, then went to 3 in the early 90's, and now it's 4. At this pace, it looks like 5 teams from each district is just around the corner. I hope that never happens...

They split the state in half and the winners north and south play each other in a state championship. It's an issue for both states due to their size geographically and demographically. Think about this since the thread is about throwing everything back to the way it was in the 70s-80s, what if you couldn't make a school with over 2000 students? How many more schools would there be in Texas then???? [/quote] Anything California does, I hope Texas does the opposite. Their is currently a petition in Cali which is pushing for flag football to be played in HS b/c of injuries, etc. I don't think any of us want that here!
