If Ty Cobb says he is back he is back. He would know.

Without a doubt......

Where?

I do not recall a lot of bashing. To be honest I do not think many folks from that district even post. Preseason that district was getting beat up by a lot of other districts. You have to kind of expect a little bit of talking down when teams are/were doing poorly. You guys had a sub .500 team in the playoffs. Coldsprings is definitely on the rise for the future.

Remember how the district got no love on this board all year? I will say Splendora played their hearts out and did a fine job. I was definitely nervous late in the game. In regards to the district it is still weak. To be considered a good football district surely at least one team should advance beyond the first round.

We played terrible. Hats off to Splendora. It was obvious they prepared for our guys. They knew our snap count and were able to continually get us to false start. They had a great game plan of getting those 3-4 yard runs to just keep the chains moving and Silsbee's offense off of the field. There is no doubt we were looking past them. We came out flat and got down early. Their only miscue was the fumble at the 2 yard line late in the game. We tried everything to give away this game. Hopefully it will be a springboard for the next game and our injured and out players are able to go next week.

It was good to meet Mr. NewtonBroadcaster as well as Setxsports.com.

:shock: I left with it 28-0. WH was showing nothing. Sabine was running all over WH. I didn't think WH would even score.

Yeah Jasper had a down year but many knew they were the preseason pick around the 3-4 spot so they knew they were down somewhat. That is not a knock, most folks had WOS and Silsbee as the top 2 with BC and Jasper duking it out for 3rd. Just looking at several district games Jasper was just one or two breaks away from being in the playoffs. I would have to say Ozen without a doubt. With several D1 prospects and the talk of a district title battle with Central they were just plain pitiful. I remember saying in preseason that a certain Dayton squad was going to do extremely well but several including a weatherman didn't have them in the top 3. :wink:

The thing is this isn't a minor we have here. I believe state law will view him as an adult therefore no big deal in posting this.....it's public information. The kid knew what he had and what he was doing especially out so late.

Just out of curiosity how many offensive plays were run?

Splendora supposedly hasn't seen much option play this season. Whoops!

Why must we always go offense? :wink: I nominate BK Johnson the db from Silsbee. The kid has played great all season. Anyone have the total interceptions this kid made? He has been a clutch wr as well.

JEALOUSY is an ugly thing. The Newtons, WOSs, Nederlands, Jaspers, etc have shown to be better than the others in the area on a consistent basis. Don't sit here and break down each position or player etc and expect a weaker team to gain respect. Noone ever doubts the hard work these kids put out in the hot months to the cool November nights, but the truth of the matter is the consistent playoff schools have superior talent and/or work ethic. I have never felt the midcounty schools were real talented but they did have great game discipline that helped them overcome their physical weaknesses. For years the Port Arthur schools had tremendous talent but had mental breakdowns (penalties, blown assignments, etc) that cost them. Just because your school hasn't had the success that many other schools have had is not a reason to try and belittle their achievments so you can feel better about your situation.

I left after the interception return. I knew the weather was coming quick. Jasper has some talent they just have to finish the plays. Two long tds passes for Harris and it was like noone wanted to try and tackle him.

Game called in the 3rd. Silsbee 35-0 winners.

This game will be very close. Jasper is a main rival and always plays hard. Throw the records out this week.

"...actually beating Kirbyville." What was any different than the previous meetings? I will say K'ville came back late but the game wasn't even close. K'ville was romped worse than the final scoreboard indicated. It is good to finally see you acknowledge you were wrong that is an improvement in itself.

You know, I believe you were smelling a romp this past week as well.

Silsbee relaxed. The 1st string defense was in almost all game. They became very conservative while Kville was desperately trying to stay in it. When you stop atacking and go into a more prevent type defense yards are gained. No doubt Rhodes is good.......a good defensive player. That kid laid the wood on two plays that were very impressive. He gained most of his yardage on 2-3 big runs late.

At the end of the ST/KV game BK nearly had his 4th int. From my perspective he had it. The kid had a monster night.

The one thing going for balla is the bulletin board material he puts up for the opposing team. With all of the noise and nonsense he spews he only helps teams to put targets on the K'ville players back. K'ville can't hope to quietly go in and get a win from a team overlooking them.

It has been a very long time time for Kountze if they have ever even made the playoffs.

Basketball yes......football no
