Dayton leads 14-0

If PNG wins and Nederland loses this week, the final game between Nederland and Montgomery will be HUGE! Every teams seeding will change depending on that one result. That would be a fitting end to the regular season for this District. Hope it happens. If PNG and Nederland both win, then, Yawn, it’s all over and everybody knows where they are.

Montgomery is just a big play team. They will have more big plays than sustained drives. Going to have to play all 48 minutes.

What’s crazy about this District is that, while Nederland has the inside track for the 1 seed, they could also still end up with the 4 seed. And there are 4 teams that could still get the 2 seed. Exciting final 2 weeks.

I’d start with the 1st Newton TD.

So you remember the 1961 game?

Yes, the backup Huntsville QB is athletic and he will be a good player in the coming years. But he is a Freshman. So, it’s the decision making that is the wildcard. Huntsville coaches will have to figure out how to set him up for success.

Newton by 70. Do I hear 80?

Thank you for clarifying. I was also confused. I couldn’t remember them ever playing, at least in the last 50 years.

He’s out.

If they go in as 1 and 2, then it would be 4th round. 1st week of December. Not sure I’d change plans quite yet.

Is that 5 teams from District 8 that have now been ranked at some point.

Nederland can eliminate Lake Creek by losing this game. They still win the district by beating Montgomery. Sounds like a Win Win, right? The Hornets backs are against the wall and they have to win this game or they are likely eliminated. So, I expect the Hornets defense will keep them in the game. The Hornets starting QB went out last week with an ankle/foot injury and it didn’t look too promising to me. The offense will struggle with the Freshman backup QB. I have to lean with Nederland.

I do not like the way the tiebreaker reverts back to H2H. It’s the same tiebreaker that Huntsville lost out on a few years ago. Logically to me, whoever is 2nd on positive points gets the next spot. Huntsville will likely be on the wrong end of this again. Yes, they still control their destiny, but without their QB, I don’t see them beating Nederland.

As of now, yes. But this district is crazy. Very hard to predict anything. 2 more big games next week should help clear the fog.

Huntsville intercepted in the end zone. Lake Creek wins

Lake Creek takes the lead 29-24. 1:44 to go. Huntsville has the Freshman backup QB in.

1st and goal for Lake Creek. Under 2 minutes.

Lake Creek at the Huntsville 31. 3:08 to go.

5:19 to go. 24-22 still. Hard to believe no scoring in this half so far

Huntsville botches another FG. Huntsville QB knocked out of the game. Defense will need to win this.

Start of 4th Qtr. No scoring in the 3rd Qtr. 24-22. Huntsville defense playing better. I don’t like being in a 1 score game with Lake Creek.

Hornets miss FG after dropping TD pass. Still 24-22. Late 3rd

Lake Creek kicks a 40 yard FG to end the 1st half. Huntsville leads 24-22. Hornets giving up too many big plays. Lake Creek QB has done a good job escaping the pass rush.

15 yard TD run for the Hornets. 2 point fails. Huntsville leads 24-19
