What receiver? What RB? You do understand that Splendora has a faster RB than anyone on SA's team? Do you think SA would have done better than 5-7 if they were 3A last year? I hope you are not trying to say that football games are not won up front? SA has more athletes than Alto, WS, Deweyville, Mart and Garrison. Why did they not win or in most cases even stay on the field? Did they have good WRs? Did they spread the field? I am an SA fan all the way. I hope they win. I have close relationships with most of the players and coaches. But I accept reality. If the baby is ugly, the baby is ugly. It is not shameful for a 2A to not be able to compete with a 4A. 

I don't see SA competing doing well against Splendora either. I know SA has athletes but games are won up front. Those Splendora linemen are gonna be too big and strong. Its hard for even the best athletes to make things happen when there are guys getting into the backfield all night. Then you have to look at depth. Splendora will have way more players that can go in and give a breather while also doing a job. Not knocking SA at all, because they are a good team at their level, but I fully agree with 89falcon

I knew a coach at WF Hirschi who couldnt coach a lick and his teams sucked but he got 4+ kids each year to a college cause he used his connections.

Good Luck Lions. Hope you run the district!

Football road trips were not the biggest issue for Livingston. It was all the other sports that you play two district games in like Basketball (boys and girls), Baseball, Softball, Volleyball, etc.. that killed them. It meant that every week a few busses full of kids headed over to our area. Now they only have four of those trips, so they split it in half.

Ditto. The Lions are where they need to be. Good luck to them!
