Ha! La Porte Slicers are in Indiana I believe. May want to hold off on the kudos for those graphics.

Yep. Bowed out to the State semi finalist in a game that was closer than the score indicated with a young team that hadn’t been to the PO’s in many years and a second year staff. Y’all had a good draw. If LP would learn to use their big soph TE on intermediate passes this coming year 3 or 4 times a game, it would help keep D’s from stacking the box. Just a little flip over the LB’s, and that next level is wide open.

Y’all said BH had one of your best teams last year. You lost some good talent. Y’all are still 0fer against La Porte, and the Dawgs will be in the 3rd year of the staff with—depending on how they count the starters since LP rotates so much—8 returning on O & 7 on D. Every matchup is different of course. But, BH would stand less of a chance this year than last, and Eagle Stadium isn’t an edge against LP. 😂

I thought we took care of y’all’s field pretty well.

Nothing like jumping the gun! HA I do expect both teams to have a good year. But, stranger things have happened. Don’t mind sitting at a possible match-up if it happens though. Haven’t heard all of LP’s preseason yet. Been looking. Haven’t found. Just PNG posters.

You know what LP returns. Might be the other way around. 😜 I think the PNG game will be interesting.

PAM, Angleton, then who? Who would you put above La Porte & Friendswood?

Actually think La Porte, Friendswood & KP would all make PO’s in District 9 as well. PAM would probably be the other. BH and KP might duke it out for 4th.

Should be some interesting games. Haven’t heard where La Porte will play this year yet. The new construction is coming along. But, the stadium won’t be ready until the 2025 season—my understanding.

It was a solid season. Proud of the young men. To me, need to incorporate just a little more of a passing threat next year where teams can’t stack the box as much. Lancaster literally had all 11 within 5-6 yards of LOS. When LP finally started throwing a little late in the game, you could see Lancaster wasn’t ready for it at all. Even a 75/25 split would help the D’s have to be a little more honest. I can understand this year. Second year of system, first full offseason program, wanting to get basics strong, and only a first time starting Soph at QB. But, next year, would hope to have a little more variety in key spots with the QB having a year of experience under his belt.

Congrats Eagles!

Lancaster had a very solid club. Lots of talent. I can see why some had them ranked #3 earlier in the year. If they had a little more discipline, they’d be a lot tougher. The LP/Lancaster game was closer than the score indicated. It was as competitive as advertised. Good game, even with all the flags. LP is very young. This experience will help them get back to where they used to be very quickly. The staff is ahead of schedule to me. They return the entire backfield, half of the OL including the big TE on Dave Campbell’s watch list, and over half the D. At 2249, not sure if they’ll stay 5A, or move back to 6A. But, the future is looking bright again, and the talent pipeline seems to be back with the backing of the administration, staff, and community. I’m hearing around town that parents outside LP are asking about the community. Apparently, some publication has rated La Porte as the 10th best ISD out of 75 in the greater Houston area. With all the new facilities, the 1:1 technology standards, and all the local support, the kids have excellent opportunities.

He got some yards late. But, neither team’s rushing game really got firing. D’s played well except for a couple semi big plays by the Tigers. I don’t remember any run of over about 15 yards max. Most were of the less than 3 yard variety for both teams with many TFL’s or no gains. Lancaster pretty much stuffed LP’s run game with all 11 in the box. Game was closer than the score indicates. It was as advertised as far as competitive. Would have been better without some of the penalties. LP has a very young squad. This experience will help them as they continue to build back to what they historically were up until 5-6 years ago with all the coaching changes. This staff is ahead of schedule, and the talent pipeline is back. Not sure if they’ll stay 5A or not at 2249. We’ll see.

Lancaster stopped LP on 4th. LP dropped TD pass in the end zone. Congrats Tigers!
