Well...some kind of deal was worked out to get a payout.

Their million dollar--or more--settlements may have required silence? Now that Epstein is dead, maybe the NDA's don't apply? I dunno. Just spit ballin' here...

Terrell Bernard (2017 La Porte) wasn’t highly recruited. Not even sure he made the rating services. He went to Baylor, and had a solid college career. Some would say better than solid as the Captain on a very good Bears D. Now, he’s the Co-Captain along with Josh Allen, and the starting LB for the Buffalo Bills. These player ratings are as much pure guess as they are science. But, they’re fun for us to look at, take a little shared pride in as alums, and give the young men something to work towards.

Yep. Interesting how those go. Micah Rhodes at Klein Oak is the #1 RB c/o 2028. But, I’d take Sean Simon over him any day of the week and twice on Friday.

Not that I’m aware of. Mr. Brown is an excellent OL. So is Jake Hayman (All-State, 6’-4”/320) at LP. It will be interesting to watch these two road graders.

Don’t know this year yet. And, it doesn’t matter when it’s a rivalry game. Especially the Border Battle.

Will be keeping everyone updated on LP/Kingwood while watching the LPsportsNET broadcast. I’ll have Mama Dawg fed & in her chair, dressed in her classic Fighting Bulldog T-Shirt ready to bark. (She cracks me up when she smiles and does her bulldog woof.)

I believe so this year. There were definitely some questionable hits by the Deer early. (Spearing & horse collars. I think they had 4 or 5 PF’s in about 5 minutes.) But, I didn’t see anything major from them. Just early season cramps.

Toughest game this week. Next week's game will be the toughest game next week.

Y’all get them at home. Turner is a tough place to play.

A lot of growth! I don't see y'all having any issues with BWood. In fact, with y'all'schedule, I don't see any real challengers until--MAYBE--Kingwood Park at their place in mid October. One game is a small sample size. We'll have to see how KP plays against a pretty decent Dayton club in Dayton. They put the points up on Montgomery in a pretty good fashion.

DCTF has this game as a 4 point win for LP at home. Interesting, because I was going to go with the same score as last week: 35-31 LP. Matt Stepp has LP by 2. I really hope the 2nd week improvement from the D shows up. No arm tackling & seal the edges. Shut down the run game, and I think the secondary can make enough plays to get the win. The Dawgs are going to have to play a clean game to get this one against a really tough Mustang squad that often gets overlooked because of NS, Atascocita, and Summer Creek also being in 23-6A. Kingwood is ranked 14 in 6A in the GHA/Region 3 by another publication, and is carrying a lot of momentum after their long PO run last year. Every opponent is going to bring their best game to LP to try to give the Dawgs the first loss in the new stadium. The Dawgs are going to have to match their intensity.

Not sure about that Kingwood @ La Porte one. LPsportsNET usually doesn’t give the exclusive rights away when they’re broadcasting home games. I know you’re going by what’s listed. But, this would be very unusual, and a first.

I liked the Wehby kid from what I saw on video. Young man is fast & elusive with good hands. Saw he also is dangerous on returns & ran one back for a TD. The QB seems to be a lot better passer than DP QB, and Kingwood’s overall passing attack looks more potent. Their D pitched a shutout. So, that’s never something to overlook. Big, physical team. Agree this will be a tough one. The Dawgs won’t be able to fall behind like they did against DP, and they are really going to have to wrap up better.

The game will again be shown on LPSportsnet YouTube Channel--The Exclusive Home of La Porte High School sports. Subscribe and watch for free. [Hidden Content]

Kingwood will need to account for more than just Simon. The Dawgs have rediscovered another weapon that hasn't been used on offense since he was a freshman. Sr. First Team All District LB Ashton Ruffin is alternating in on offense in the backfield with Simon: 135 yards rushing 10 ypc 65 yards receiving 200 Total yards 5 Solo Tackles 3 TD's (2 rushing, 1 receiving) Sean Simon had another Simon performance even as the Deer keyed on him all game: 297 yards rushing 8.7 ypc 2 TD's
