Barbers Hill at Beaumont West Brook Predictions
OlDawg replied to AggiesAreWe's topic in High School Football
He’s the left-hander from last year’s PO game against LP? If so, I thought he had a live arm. Wondered why BH didn’t start him & let him develop instead of going the other route. Then, they’d have had an experienced QB for next year. Instead, they got a rented free agent. -
Where’s my ‘ignore button’ on this forum? I have one on the other app…

TJ, Dodge/Duhon/Stump 1980? Going off old, not too great memory. I was a Junior at LP then...

Trust in federal health leadership is failing under Republicans and RFK

Our exact same plan (which now also includes a $400/year higher deductible/OOP of $4000/year) went up a little over $800/mo. from $2600+ to $3400+. We still fall within the 100%-400% FPL, so still original max assistance pre-Biden extra. Like the commercial says, healthcare in America is broken. Better expand all the emergency rooms in this country. They’re going to be full. If only they gave us the option to actually choose, and only stipulate preexisting condition coverage was required ala new employment. -
Two best overall defenses in district I believe. Angleton will need Mack back for this game. He's a difference maker & All State caliber DE. Hopefully, his injury wasn't serious. But, all I know is he left the La Porte game on a cart. Angleton had a lot of luck last year in miracle comebacks. This year, they've had all the worst luck with injuries. Haven't seen anything like it happen to one team in such a short span in a while. Maybe never. I know LP was down to their 4th string RB & a JV call-up in the PO's in 2012 when Whitely & others were hurt, and still made the PO run to meet Katy in Regionals. So, a good run can be made. But, it's tough. To lose your QB, backup QB, best--or second best--receiver, and your top DE...dang... If Mack plays, this will be another low scoring affair like last year's 13-8 affair. If not, I have to give Crosby the edge. Robison will be the better passer in the game, Angleton I give a slight edge in the RB area because of depth (Neyland & crew), but neither team is really overpowering running the ball. I can see the Wildcats returning to the T formation, and using Jammer at QB more. Angleton's main weapon is Jammer. Get him the ball however, and whenever, and all the time, and then some more. He's a talent, and can do a lot of things. I like Angleton's coaching decisions on the field. Edge to the Wildcats. They're also at home with a big chip on their shoulder now and in 'circle the wagon mode.' Angleton has the speed advantage in skill positions. Angleton will have multiple trick plays ready to use to find a way to put points on the board. Mack plays, Wildcats by a score or less. Mack doesn't play, Crosby by 3. I'll go somewhere around a 21-17ish type game. I expect both teams to stack against the run. Robison will have some opportunities to complete some passes. But, Angleton's secondary is probably the best coverage he'll have seen. Interesting coaching decision for Crosby will be either to kick to Jammer and risk a return TD, or whether you pooch, and give a weakened O a shorter field. LP chose the former and it bit them right off the bat. Good Luck to both teams & don't beat anybody up any more. 11-5A is gonna' need all hands left on deck for Bidistrict. The games were already going to be tough enough as it was...

19/241/3 TD’s while also starting in his LB spot. The young man is a machine & reminds me so much of Terrell Bernard now defensive captain with the Bills.

Sean Simon has broken the single season rushing record of Lloyd ‘Bubba’ Hill at La Porte (1979/13 Games: 2020 yards) with 2078 yards so far this year through 9 games. Stats for Angleton Game: 30/245/2 TD’s Congrats young man! (Side Note: Ashton Ruffin also had a big night since Angleton keyed on Simon. He finished 19/241/3 TD’s on offense while also playing LB on D.)

Yep. Wrapping up has been an on/off issue. They’ve been in position. Just going high instead of low a lot also. But, Angleton has some solid players that are also tough to bring down. All-in-all, LP did well, and had a big lead again. People in other places have been saying Angleton only lost because of injuries. They need to remember the two teams have played 3X in a year, 144 minutes of ball, and Angleton has only led for about 10 minutes total out of those 144 minutes. Yes, Angleton has closed the scoring gap & even won the R3 Final rematch last year in come from behind fashion. But, LP also still holds a 14-3 scoring advantage, and a 2-1 game advantage. Injured players don’t attribute all of that.

Dunno. They wore them with the white traveling jerseys against KP also. Nice change up. So, they have solid orange top & pants, solid white top & pants, and the black pants that can be worn with either top. Multiple combinations of orange white/orange black/orange orange, etc. Just wish they’d all wear similar shoes. The shoes are all over the map. 😂

New Caney Porter (14) @ Crosby (49) - FINAL
OlDawg replied to jdawg03's topic in High School Football
Congrats Coogs! -
Angleton needs to play Jammer more at QB IMHO if they want to go very far. He's a baller. Also, I'm really liking LP's black pants with the orange jerseys. lol

Crosby vs Angleton is a toss-up to me right now. Crosby may sneak into the 2 seed in 11-5A.
-
I know y'all don't care right away like we do because 9-5A basically has a bye first round, but Pflugerville Weiss lost to College Station. They may wind up facing LP first round. Also, if we both are lucky/good enough to make it that far, PA and LP wouldn't meet until the R3 Finals as I kind of expected. The upcoming game between Angleton & Crosby is gonna' be something to see. Angleton still has talent. But, Crosby is more balanced this year, Robison is throwing pretty well, and they have a legitimate shot at the 2 seed.

Still a game to go against Pasadena. But, feel relatively comfortable saying La Porte will finish up as undefeated District Champion for the 2nd year in a row, and the 3rd Championship in a row between 9-5AD1 & 11-5AD1 since Berneathy’s return in the ‘22/‘23 season. LP is 20-1 in district games in the last 3 years, and 26-8 overall for a 76% win pct. as of tonight. Will probably be 27-8 and 77% after next week. There’s some solid underclassmen coming up in the next few years as well. Simon, Smith, and Wells are all Sophs. Future looks good.
