Congrats BH! This game was a clinic. Eagles came to play tonight. I didn’t see PAM really get any pressure all night & BH tore them up.

I’m going to go ahead & drop my congrats to BH right here, right now. They are having their way with PAM tonight, and I don’t see it changing! TO’s will kill you every time. Plus, BH is just controlling the entire flow of the game. BH passing game is on fire.

Ha! Not sure that’s an attribute I’d really hope to need in my PK.

Wouldn’t go that far. The Larry’s & Joe’s aren’t much good if they’re in the wrong place, or wrong position. They also can’t make their own in game adjustments. If straight up & optimized—yes—Larry’s & Joe’s. But, like combat of a different sort, nothing is ever totally optimized. Just thoughts of an old man. Pay me no heed.

And LP crushed Lee while PAM struggled. Yes. All about matchups. Funny to mention, but PAM also has a very good weapon in their PK. Strange to see that from a PAM team. If it comes down to that, edge PAM.

From what I’ve seen of the BH run game, just not sure they’re strong enough to take pressure off Fuentes & the passing game. If PAM can play their typical 425 & slow BH run game, BH is in trouble. PAM is weak up the gut against the power run unless they stack the box like they did against LP. This will be the chess match. If BH can throw in some pistol where their RB (Rodriguez I think it was) can hide and make PAM read the guards, it’ll buy Fuentes some time in the pocket and PAM will have to crowd. If they just run their normal pro type sets, PAM is talented enough defensively this year to nullify and sit/pressure on the pass. Since I haven’t seen BH live at what is full strength D-wise, not sure how they’ll stack up. PAM’s run game is solid. But, not like LP in that it’s not a power run game. Martin & Baker are speedy and hit the holes quick. They go down a little easier than LP’s Barnes, Sandolf & Bright. Can’t really compare the RB’s as they’re fairly different styles. Neither team’s OL fires off downfield like LP’s. Different styles. They’re more adept at pass pro, but can open lanes at the LOS. PAM’s receiving core is very solid. They anticipate & make excellent downfield routes. Best deep balls I’ve seen in district play. Not big. But very good hands. Not many dropped balls. The 3 or so minutes around the half against LP totally changed the momentum of our game. When LP missed the TD opportunity in the redzone ahead by 21 and going for the kill, then missed the FG, went into half, came out & fumbled the KO return, PAM jumped. BIG. At least a 13 point swing…possibly more. Momentum was PAM’s, and they never looked back. (Of course, they also began stacking the box at that point which was also big.) Seeing both against a common/solid opponent, PAM—IMHO—is the more dangerous team. But, they can be had if a solid team eliminates mistakes and makes them play straight up. TO’s—as usual—will make or break this game. JMO I’ve got PAM by at least a TD in a fairly low scoring contest for these teams. Say, 28-21. There may be weather. If wrong, I’ll be back to congratulate BH where the Scientist dude doesn’t get his feelings all hurt. 😁

Naw. When warchin them thar cruise ships with all dem mobile homes on ‘em, we like our own homemade brew. Y…BillyBob was warchin some last year, and he thought we was listenennn to Jerry Jeff Walker, got all excited and such, and lit the whole darn beach on far. Shoot. Couldn’t let a good far go to waste. We broke out dem Ballparks an had a Partie! Some dude from PAM showed up an burnded his hand. Doofus! Leave it to a PAM fan to bring a Vienner sausage to a gol darn bonfire… SMH

Martinis are for them rich folk. That wouldn’t be LP. Ha! (More SLC type stock). Although, LP does have a Drew Brees Walk-On’s opening up in a few weeks. So hey, we’re moving up in the world! LP stunk it up—per LP standards—for about 5 years. The coaches that were brought in weren’t a match for the culture. Coach before Berneathy came back was an ex Crosby coach. Didn’t work out at all. LOL

Good response. BH has a chance. A better than decent one really. IMHO, BH has good coaching and some solid players. What BH doesn’t have is an identity. BH is just kinda ‘there’ like a lot of other clubs. PAM has speed. Always have. LP has power & physicality. Always have. BH needs to find what they want to be & focus on it. LP will return the entire backfield, half of the OL & half of the D. The staff will be on their 3rd year back. Someone may want to start praying to the realignment gods, or one of BH posters (every fan base has one) will be misreading posts for a third year in a row. 😂

Saying something COULD hurt as a possibility in the future for PO seeding is a pretty simple statement. First, BH has to win the game, or it’s moot. Your comprehension level is a little on the low side, eh? When BH figures out how to beat LP, then you may be on to something. So far, it’s a big 0-fer. Can’t even seem to win Homecoming on your own field. LOL Beat PAM—if you can. They’re on your schedule. BH has already lost to LP…AGAIN. Should be a good game.

If you don’t care who I pull for, quit posting about it. Go back to the kiddie board. You whine worse than my 5 year old granddaughter.

Everybody from BH acts like LP was totally healthy against them. Nope. LP just doesn’t cry about it. Either way, I’m rooting for PAM. Not because of anything against BH. Just want no part of a possible 3-way tie scenario with the gimme last second TD the refs gave BH in the LP game. PAM win, LP 2nd seed regardless.

Even if they suffer a loss to Crosby, I believe the Dawgs wrapped up at least the 2nd PO spot with this win since they beat BH earlier this season. Could be wrong I guess if there’s a 3-way tie scenario. Not sure on tiebreaks. If it comes down to point differential between PAM, LP, & BH, that last second TD the refs gave BH in the LP game could hurt.

!!:34/0/F

Do tell.

I think the LP Supt. is on the UIL Alignment Committee. Maybe we should start a lobbying effort. Ha!

Any truth to the rumor WB & BU might drop down? If they do, I hope LP still stays in this district, and maybe KWP & Porter go back to where they were. Maybe this district could even go back to R3? It’s a decent drive over to y’all, but still manageable.

I think PAM, LP, BH & Porter will make PO’s. Hoping LP can hang onto the 2 spot at least. Have some tough games still. Looked like a few young men from both sides got a little dinged up in the second half. Physical game as always. Neither team was gonna wear the other out. Hope they all were minor & nothing a good ice bath, sauna & rest time can’t fix. I noticed Forney gave Longview all they could handle, and then some. (My grandkids live/go to school in Forney. Ha!) Both those teams look rough. I wouldn’t want to be the 3 or 4 seed from our district. 1 & 2 may have a chance.

Thanks! I have to watch the video feeds until LP’s new stadium (with better handicap facilities for my better 1/2) is finished. I watch NFHS/Texan Live, and they’re okay. But—so far—my favorite broadcasts are the student staff productions of LP & PAM. Both very professional. (Of course LP’s is free, and I’m a Homer, so that gives them an edge over PAM right now. HA!) Joking. Kids did great. Announcers did great. Young lady helping the broadcasters did great. Enjoyable way to watch a game if you can’t be there in person right now. And good game!

This is a rivalry game. You never know what's going to happen. La Porte is just now getting back to where they used to be. The staff turnover the last few years has been tough on the program. But, the stability is back with this staff again. This should be a good rivalry for a few years again--pending realignment.

If any of y'all know the broadcasters on the video feed, let them know they did a good job. They didn't try to act like they knew everything. They just were spectators with the call, and didn't have a problem saying when they missed something. Kudos! (I had trouble logging in and mirroring to the TV at first, so I missed their names if they mentioned them.)

Same. Another good one.

Somebody needs to buy that young man a big steak dinner! (Or, whatever he wants.)
