Vype’s preseason predictions: [Hidden Content] (I think they forgot PAM’s run in 2011. But, they got one thing right. I don’t see many ‘gimme games’ in this district.)

To any Lufkin fan, do y’all charge a fee to see your game streams, and are they archived where we can watch later if we’d like? I think it would be nice to have a post here with all the teams that stream in our district, and their stream links combined in one place. I think most people know La Porte’s, and it’s free to live stream or watch archived games. [Hidden Content]

Do you still have to pay that small fee per game to see PAM streams this year?

That’s a lot of points for two teams with new QB’s against very good, experienced defenses in the very first game of the year. May be right. But, just seems like a big score. Has PAM played PNG in the Joseph tenure yet?

Unless he misses time, I think 8,000+ yards is doable. [Hidden Content]

Both teams struggle to put points on the board against the opposing D. Give me Pamela 20-17 at home.

I'll go ahead and take a wild guess at the PO teams. Of course, this WHAG is based on minimal to no major injuries for any team. La Porte - The Dawgs return a ton of offensive firepower. Wells (QB) has the possibility of being the first, true dual threat QB LP has had since Austin Upshaw 2013-2017 (3 star, SMU, switched to WR & currently plays for the San Antonio Gunslingers). We'll see how LP decides to scheme the offense to take advantage of his skills. Pair him with the run game, and a solid kicking game, and LP will be tough to stop. Weakness: D youth. While athletic, I see this as--strangely for La Porte--the weaker part of the team. PAM - Always athletic, and still return a solid core on D. QB status may be a question mark. But, the run game should be solid, and they always have speedy WR's. Will need to replace their outstanding kicker. If they returned a little more on O, I'd have them above La Porte because of the D. The two teams have opposite strengths this year, and the rivalry game is back on after a 2 year hiatus. Outside of the Border Battle, this is the top rivalry game for La Porte. Always a fun game. Last time they met in 2023, PAM won the battle, but La Porte won the war and the District Championship. GCM - I'm gonna' have to go with a surprise here. This is my WOWZER pick for the district. Just too much returning experience to not take notice. If they can find a decent run game to go along with their returning QB, They can easily be in the PO picture. Lufkin - I've always been an Abseck fan, and I like the returning D of Lufkin. Offense will be an issue. But, playing the last year at Abe should give them some added incentive. They have a favorable schedule for home field advantage against teams who are predicted by different people to be PO contenders. The game with GCM in Baytown may be a key game. I see 1 & 2 as slight favorites over the rest of the district. I give La Porte the edge because PAM has to come to Bulldog. GCM and Lufkin can be interchangeable. But, with the experience of GCM, and playing Lufkin at home, I give them the edge. Really, these two spots could be up for grabs for multiple teams. I have a really hard time not seeing BWB in the top 4. But, I think they'll fall just short. I think--while they have excellent QB play--they just don't have quite enough to go with him on O, and the D will be replacing a lot. New Caney is a total wildcard to me. They could upset the whole enchilada. I initially was going to go with the teams with returning QB experience. But, PAM & Lufkin's defenses should play a very big part early. I'm going with that strength over the--strictly--QB experience factor because of that. I think we will be discussing tiebreak procedures for PO spots for this district, and I have a hard time seeing anyone going undefeated in district play. Anyway...as I said, just my early WHAG with a wildcard.

They’re bringing back the Crush Groove.

Well, that’s not good. Rest up. You’re on the clock.

I noticed a lot of key transfers were mentioned in this preview. Not just 'another player'. But, KEY players.

No one needs to tell him about pancakes. Geez…
