Lancaster with all 11 within 6 yards of LOS.

Game is on LPSportsnet YouTube channel.

Lancaster floating LB to LP backside & basically blitzing him every play. LP needs to adjust at half & seal that backside LB. If they do, lanes will open up big time. Right now, there’s no cutback & the blitzing LB is in backfield too quick. We’ll see if LP adjusts. Lancaster having some success through the air with the wind. Both rushing attacks are being managed pretty well so far. LP PK must have put a lot of work in and got rid of the jujus. LOL

Not a popular opinion amongst those who post a lot, but LP has actually been the most consistent team in 8-5A all year. Nothing flashy. Just steady. A throwback to the old LP as I’ve stated multiple times. They didn’t even settle on a QB until Week 5/6, and have also had their share of injuries and players out as did other district teams. Still, they just steadily plugged along. All this without having a ‘true’ home game all year. I consider that fairly impressive in itself. (Not sure where this first round PO game will be either since we don’t have a home field right now.) Until 2017–and a string of multiple coaches that didn’t work out, new district leadership, and other changes—La Porte was a PO team for basically 30 years straight. (Even as typically the smallest school in whichever district they were placed.) Teams always knew—win or lose—they were in for a ‘dog fight’ when they matched up with La Porte. This group of young men have never known the PO’s. So, we’ll see how they fare. But, I’m sure the staff will have them as ready to play as possible. Good Luck to all the 8-5A PO teams. I’ll be rooting for all.

I’d be curious if TexanLive or NFHS broadcasts PO games, or is it strictly Fox (or whoever owns the rights now since I thought I read somewhere Fox Southwest got bought out recently.) I’d definitely like to be able to see the games.

The last second TD is one thing. Those things happen. But, it always gets a rise out of you, so it’s kinda fun. 😆 The clerical error is a different matter. It’s just a sad statement about leadership thoroughness—regardless of this week’s outcomes. How much the confusion effected play during games is unknown.

Yes. Hope everyone stays healthy! But, even YOU must admit that a gimme last second TD, and/or a clerical error are pretty crappy ways to possibly have to lose a ‘home’ first round PO game and have to travel 250 miles.

Ha! Way to reward the team with the biggest blowout loss of the three gang! (Not directed at you Matt.) LP will just have to be the stealth 2 seed masquerading as a 3 seed. 😁

They’re going with AI next year. Better proofing.

The point cap changed the order I believe. If 18, PAM 3 seed & LP 2 seed if a 3 way tie. The 4 point drop puts PAM 1 ahead of LP and into the 2 seed. Basically, y’all’s blow out loss doesn’t hurt you as bad. LP only lost by 11 and beat the other team in the potential 3 way tie being discussed. But, y’all leapfrogged due to the point cap supposedly being lowered.

How was Forney when y’all played last year? I only saw highlights & looked like it was a 6-0 game if I saw correctly?

Don’t feel bad. They dropped LP after the last 2 wins. LOL

Did I see Forney at #3? Looked like they’d only given up 87 points all year. Not sure they’ve played a team similar to LP…

He wants that 2 seed instead of the 1 seed bad! 😂

I know Forney is growing like crazy. My son & stepdaughter live there. It’s almost solid town on 20 from 45 to Terrell. Couple years ago it was a lot of pasture.

I don’t think part of scenario is correct. If BH wins & PAM loses, there’s no 3-way tie. It would revert to head to head between BH & LP with LP holding the tiebreak due to its win over BH.

Edit to this for the breaking news: The tiebreak max points is 14 instead of 18. So, LP would be 3rd seed and travel to Forney (I’m assuming) if BH & PAM both win. The rest stays the same.

Except for the travel, LP may be a better matchup with Forney than PAM anyway. And, LP hasn’t had a ‘Home’ game all year anyway.
