West Orange won the junior division title with a 2-0 win over Woodville. WO got a safety late in the game for the only points. Nederland Black defeated WO to take the senior division crown. Final in that one was 12-0.

The finals will be played this weekend at Hardin Jefferson stadium. I know that the Senior Division will be Nederland Black vs. West Orange. Nederland Black and Lumberton White played a physical, hard fought game with Nederland coming out on top 8-6, handing Lumberton their only loss of the season. WO came back in the second half to beat a scrappy Bridge City Red team. This should be a great game. I also know that Woodville will be one of the finalists in the Junior Division, but not sure about their opponent. Port NEches has one of the flag finalists as well.

The regular season is over and the playoffs begin this weekend with first round games to be held in Nederland.

Mosley did not take a beating against Central. I think he was in for maybe 2 plays before he was pulled. Bottom line was, he simply was not ready physically to play. Another week of rest should do him well and I expect him to be a go for MCM.

GoDogs, I respectfully disagree that coaching was the main problem in the Vidor/Central games. If you tackle (or don't in this case) the way our D has been, no scheme will solve your problems. Our guys need to dump the arm tackling and hit somebody in the stinking mouth. Then and only then will we see an improvement.

Offensively, Nederland is very solid, especially with Mosley returning, however, defense is a whole seperate issue. The defense played tough against LaMarque but has not been the same since. Nederland did hang with Waller but this game was a shoot out, not much D there. The last team with the ball won that game. As is well documented, the D was not very good against Vidor or Central. Right now, the Dogs have to re-figure out how to tackle, plain and simple. I cannot say how many we missed this season. The road back to the post season is a long one, but things look a lot brighter with a W this week over PNG. Can they do it? I have faith in 'em. Best of luck Dogs.

Thanks, pirate. I will admit that things don't look so great for the Dogs right now, but I believe that most of this is based on what happened last week and last week alone. Not to be lost in all of this is the fact that Vidor played outstanding ball last week, so hats off to them. Nederland faces a great challenge this week as well, but I give them the same chance to beat Central that I did the week before Vidor. I see this as a pick 'em game. Either team winning would not surprise me. Let's not bury a season before it has barely begun.

I am not so sure Coop. I here the injury is pretty severe.

Hell, I think PNG may be the odds on favorite to win the district. None of this flying under the radar mess as far as I am concerned.

Nederland 35

Vidor 14

That is absolutely the most ridiculous rule I have ever heard of...bar none!!! We are we teaching kids these days?? This societal notion of everbody's a winner and keeping people's self esteem in check is not reflective of the real world.

Wait till Nedrerland play a real team like Central!! I bet he wont rack up as many yards' date=' looks like he cant do everything by himself![/quote']

Is that what you said about Sterling? Don't get me wrong, I have all the respect in the world for Central and still think they are the team to beat in 22-4A, but don't act like they are the end all be all when they just got whooped themselves.

Mosley has done this against excellent competition with the exception of Forest Brook. LM and Waller are both very solid teams, which makes what Micah has done all the more impressive. Anyone who thinks he is not the real deal will be in for a rude awakening.

Hell, SLC has better facilities and bigger crowds than Lamar would be able to draw. As much as people would love to see Dodge return, myself included, it is nothing more than a pipe dream. He has it too good where he is and the only thing he will leave for is something bigger and better.

I was told they stopped selling it a halftime of the Nederland game. I was under the impression that alcohol could not be served at any UIL event, regardless of the venue. Not a bad rule by any means.

It is definitley not Moshier. He isn't left handed. Mosely on the other hand is, so it may be him.

Scores and standings have been updated on stjfl.net.

I'll say 2-4 for 22-4A. There are some real tough draws in that opening week schedule. I'm just glad that it is all about to start.

One thing is for certain...we will have a btter idea about Dayton after they play WOS. I don't think Dayton is capable of winning district outright, but they certainly appear to be talented enough to have a say in the outcome of the district race. If I had to make a prediction on playoffs for Dayton, I would say no, but them making it woudl not shock me.

I agree that Guitterez from Nederland is highly underrated. This kid can play.

I hope you guys aren't going to be at Reliant that early. The preview show is Thursday night. Good luck to both Nederland and PNG.

Heck, Coop, with the way this bullpen is and the way this team hits we need Cy Young, Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson.

I agree. WCW in the early to mid nineties use to be great action. I watched Nitro every Monday night. I have tried to catch NWA/TNA but just can't get into it like I did WCW.

LOL- i hated 'em which is why I loved wrestling at the time. I also hated the Horsemen, loved Sting. I hated the nWo but loved anybody who would stand up to them. The Horsemen back in the 80's and early 90's were the best with Flair, Tully, Arn, Ole, Luger, Windham. I also liked Magnum TA and Nikita Koloff (remember them?) To me, Hogan was so much more fun as a bad guy because that guy can talk some trash.

I think Orton is great heel because he is so obnoxious.

Wrestling needs another strong bad guy faction along the lines of the Four Horsemen or the nWo. All of my favorite times watching wrestling were when you had some really big heels who ran roughshod over everyone only to have some face be willing to take them on. For some reason DX just doesn't quite do it for me.
