Lake Creek gets it together for a convincing win.

These two teams are 2-2 the last 4 years against each other. Montgomery coming off the big rivalry win over Lake Creek. Huntsville off the PNG loss. I think Huntsville gets back in the win column this week. Should be a good one.

Likely 3-0 start for Nederland, but those last 4 games ain’t no tiptoe through the tulips.

Well it went to the wire as expected. Huntsville had their chances. A couple of turnovers and some critical penalties made a big difference in this one. Hornet offense very vanilla in the 1st half. Looked like they were just playing for a stalemate. Giving up the 10 before half was big. I figured they would open it up in the 2nd half and show something different. I think they only used the one RB all night #5. Only saw the other RB on the kickoff and he fumbled. #15 for PNG refused to be tackled. Offensive line opened up some holes. PNG didn’t turn it over and made fewer mistakes. What a finish with the FG off the upright. PNG probably glad to get to the cupcake part of the schedule now for the next 2 weeks.

Very interesting score in Montgomery tonight. I called it.

Hornets killed themselves at the end of the half. 15 yard penalty nullifies an INT. Fumbled kickoff. And another 15 yard penalty setting up the field goal.

Is the coach supposed to say that his team is terrified and they don’t want to play? Or that his team thinks they can win? PNG beat both of these teams in the playoffs last year, won State, but now apparently there is no respect.

Oh please. Once again, the no respect for PNG surfaces. Is this a weekly thing? Scanning coaches shows looking for any snippet that can be interpreted as disrespect.

I probably would have said they miss the entire game. But at least they are doing something. It was stupid and childish but hopefully it’s a learning experience and others will take note. Doesn’t need to become a trend.

Any team will have a long road trip. Looking at District 7, the 4 seed could be Nacogdoches, Whitehouse, Hallsville, or Mt. Pleasant. That’s between 1:45 and 3:30 trips to Huntsville. Add another hour if it’s to PNG. Pretty sure they wont be packing the house in a game where they are sacrificial lambs. Plenty of room.

Cleveland ISD had a Facebook post about it. According to the post, an official complaint has been filed with UIL.

The Willis athletic department should be completely embarrassed that these kids would represent their school like this. Sportsmanship is one of the most important things we teach. Win with grace. Easy to pick on Cleveland. One day the shoe will be on the other foot. I hate Tik Tok. So much disrespect and stupidity is allowed these days.

I hear ya. Conroe too for the older farts. I think Brenham has to be the pick. That rivalry has probably been the most consistently and competitively played over the long haul.

Huntsville is a great location to get playoff games in Region 3, below the 5A level. They finally have the facilities for not only football, but baseball and softball too. Those two sports had to play all those years at the ghetto city fields. I know the players were embarrassed when teams from Montgomery County came to play. I think there will be a lot of playoff games coming in the future. Mart football played in Huntsville last year, and I know Liberty softball played two series there. Great for fans. Sorry I’m off subject.

Brenham has been a long time rival for Huntsville going back decades, but until recently they generally have not been in the same district. I think the two coaches have a good working relationship and I’m glad that they are scheduling each other for non district. Other than Brenham, I don’t think there is a rival. Back in the old days, Navasota was also. 101.7 apparently has a different definition of rivalry. It is a rematch of last years Region final, but that’s about it. Probably just trying to promote a big ballgame.

Series tied 3-3. Lake Creek still a fairly new school. Lake Creek has won the last 2, but not without a fight.

Online sales only for varsity football.

Can’t wait for this game. Not every day that the State Champs come to town. I really think it could go either way. Both teams will try and control the clock and limit the others possessions. Don’t think we’re going to see a 62-56 game here. Cut that in half probably.

I think this will be good game. Give me Ned by a TD.

Yawn.

No doubt this is a huge week for District 8. It may go the way people think. But, if Huntsville, Montgomery, and Dayton win, then we’ll need to obtain a copy of the District tiebreaker rules.

For y’all that are new to this district and don’t follow this Montgomery ISD rivalry, it’s bedlam. Just look at the last 3 years and you can see what this game is all about. If Lake Creek doesn’t flush that PNG game turd down the toilet real quick, they may be 0-2 in district. There can be a natural letdown after the hyped up wild game LC just played. The Montgomery Bears will be waiting.

I was at this game. 51-37. Gilmer seemed more motivated. Brenham’s RB already has 1,000 yards but you can’t give it to him every play. Passing game couldn’t do much other than a few plays. Brenham not looking so stout like they had been. Randle rolls through Region 3.

Maybe it was. But both PNG and LC need to move past this game quickly, because they each have opponents next week capable of turning this district on its head. Week 2 of this district is going to be very interesting. And you got Dayton/Nederland also. We will know a lot more in 7 more days.

Dark horse no doubt. I believe Montgomery will be in the playoffs and they can certainly upset the Top 3. I’m sure they can’t wait to get a shot at Lake Creek next week. Those two teams usually play crazy games against each other.
