Has this picture cleared up any after the scrimmages? I hear Anahuac has looked pretty strong in spite of missing their running back.E/C looked good against Wdvl but not sure they got much out of going against High Island.How about Deweyville,did they scrimmage Buna and how did it go.Warren looked better than I expected to be perfectly honest.Kountze also has to be reevaluated,while a victory over Colmesneil was to be expected I hear they also beat Woodville so I think they will be better than folks think they will.Havent heard anything about Hardin so I cant comment there.This is gonna be closer than most people think.So here goes my predictions ,remeber these and 50 cents gets you a cup of coffee. 1-E/C 2-Anahuac 3-Warren 4-Deweyville 5-Kountze 6-Buna 7-Hardin I think the top 4 spots here are very close and will depend on injuries and keeping kids elgible.I also think Kountze is way ahead of where they have been in the past.

How did this one go?Wdvl/Kountze

Controlled scrimmage: Shepherd 1 Warren1 Game scrimmage:Warren 13 Shepherd 7 Still lots of kids hurt for Warren.Tonight they were missing their best running back and still have their linebackers out.The young guys taking their place are looking pretty good.My biggest concern was the O/line but they have played very well so far.Granger was on the money tonight.Overall a pretty good final tuneup for both clubs.

Hitch, Didnt mean to ruffle your feathers.I was commenting on what I saw from Warren.Their first team played 15 plays and moved the ball pretty well.The young kids did OK.The 3 kids Warren had out were all district players (2 linebackers and a safety)they also started on offense.Such is life at a 2a school.I have watched several other local 3a schools and I think Tarkington would have a tough time in that district.Tell me what district your in and how you done last year and if I am wrong I will be the first to admit it.The Tarkington QB did have a good arm.Its early so I hope both teams do well this year.

Warren at Wdvl 2 years ago.Woodville scored over 60 and Warren 40.The defenses got to the stadium Saturday morning :wink: :wink: :wink:

With Anahuac going against 3a BC,E/C going against a good Wdvl club,Warren playing 3a Tarkington why would Buna want to scrimmage Evadale.No knock on the rebels but I dont think that is gonna prepare them for where they are going. :!: :!: :!:

I been telling everyone that will listen.I dont even know anyone personally that plays for Kbvl but I bet BH and Jasper wont overlook them.They are hands down the most underated team in the area.Gotta love the underdog I dont care where your from. :wink: :wink: :wink:

Been telling yall.Kirbyville is the most underated team in the area.Dont see them beating WOS.But they will play as hard as anyone around,just not as many horses in the stable.

Warren looked OK despite having 3 very important players missing with injuries on the defensive side.Offense looked pretty sharp when the first unit was on the field.Esway is the best kept secret in east Texas .The young linebackers played well but all 3 injured players were returning all district guys.Tarkington is in for a long year in 3-a.JMO :!: :!: :!:

Shepherd at Warren Friday 8/25/06

The most underated team in SETX has to be Kirbyville.They havent gotten any attention the last couple of years and you better have it buckled up tight when you play them :shock: :shock: :shock:

Maybe you ought to come down and give it a try Colm1 :!: :!: :!:

Jessie Wolf was better than pretty good,I had him second in my top 10.John was just in another world.

Warren Warriors-John Elliott(CAN STILL REMEMBER THE CROWD SINGING BIG BAD JOHN) star at UT and in the Jets super bowl win. :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:

Yes sir these guys could play.I havent kept up with them near as close recently so I may be short changing some the young guys.

Deweyville of course!!Only town in Texas where you can buy a used toothbrush at a garage sale.Just kidding DP#1.I havent seen you post lately,wanted to make sure you were still there.

My picks are. 1.HJ 2.Silsbee 3.WOS 4.Jasper

Warren Warriors 1.John Elliott-Texas Longhorns-NY Jets(Super Bowl Ring) 2.Jessie Wolf-Prarie View-NFL 3.James Wolf-Prarie View-NFL 4.Bucky White-Not sure of the college-Oilers 5.Max Mcgeary-Baylor 6.Bruce Flebbe-(Great running back,decided not to go to college)

I,M not sure Anahuac should be the 24aa favorite.The loss of their RB could devastate them as well as the coaching change.Not badmouthing any coaches just takes a while to put in a system.Also dont see Deweyville in the last spot.E/C has to be the favorite.

Both E/C and Woodville will have some big shoes to fill.E/C has tradition and a good returning QB.Woodville lost a very good QB,RB and the best wide receiver in the area so they will have to make some major adjustments.Not sure who will step for the eagles however it will probably be kids that were varsity subs last year.Good luck to both teams.

This will be the group that decided not to put in the work this summer.They will be easy to spot, they will come out strong the first couple of series and fade against strong teams.They will win about half their games due to superior talent and weak scheduling.At Thanksgiving they will be watching games and blaming the shortcomings on everyone else.They havent figured out what the WOS and Newtons of the world have(their is no OFF season)you have to work to win.We as fans will have to wait to put the names with the results. :!: :!: :!:

Thanks Coop.These kids parents should be proud, they are as polite a group as I have ever been around!!!!

The Southeast Texas Slam 16U club had another strong showing in the Denton Summer Shootout July 14th,15th and 16th in Denton Texas.The boys captured the consolation prize going 5-1 for the tourney.The boys defeated a Mt. Pleasnat club that was previously 27-0 for the year in double overtime and the Oklahoma Kings to garner the top seed coming out of pool play.The only loss for the tourney was in the opening round of bracket play to a strong team from Wicita,Kansas by 3 points. Highlights for the SLAM: *Stephen Moten-(Ozen) Once again had some unbelievable dunks and a beautiful touch on his jumper.He scored at will against the Colorado Red Shield in the final game. *Marcus Malbrough-(WB)and Derek Savoy(Ozen)Controlled the boards and provided valuable scoring from the post positon against some very good big men. *Ryan Weldon(HJ) Floor leader who led his team with his press breaking abilities and the ability to dish the rock where it needed to go.Also did a great defensive job. *Josh Payne(HJ) Playing possibly the best game of the tourney against the Kansas City club until he broke his hand played pressure "D" and scored on drives and the long ball. *Paul Sims(Warren) Knocking down 3 point bombs at crucial times and finishing at the foul line in pressure packed situations. *Jon Ward(Lumberton) Playing both the guard and post position after the injury to Payne did it all scoring,rebounding and playing tough defense.(Coach Henry has a kid here to build around). *Stephon Jackson(Ozen) and Scott Kearns (WB)Playing valuable minutes at the PG and guard positions contributed greatly. It was an excellent team effort winning 1 game in double overtime and several more by 5 points or less.Congratulations to the team and Coach Eric Weldon.The SLAM will travel to San Antonio to play in the San Antonio Shootout July 28th,29th and 30th.Good luck guys.

The ag booth at Warren.Hot shot Odom can flat out cook the Q.Be ready to wait in line though!!!!!

John Elliott from Warren Texas.Most posters may have never heard of him.Played for Warren in the 60,s,went to UT and started on a national champion defense and later was a starter for the NY Jets in the famous Joe Namath Super Bowl.In high school he was the most brutal running back I ever saw.He played defensive tackle at UT and for the Jets.
