Incidentally, I must admit even I am a little surprised at LP this year. Remember, they haven’t played a single true home game all year, and only the 2nd year of the new staff. (Even though Berneathy was here previous, and familiar with LP & culture.) Talk about powering through adversity.

Go Panthers! 🤣

True. That would definitely be a twist at the last game after Friday.

Actually, if PAM loses, LP is the 1 seed due to no three way tie & the win over BH. 😁 If PAM & BH both lose, LP 1 Seed & outright DC. If BH wins & PAM loses, BH & LP Co-DC’s, and LP 1 seed. If BH wins & PAM wins, BH, LP, & PAM are Co-DC’s and BH is 1 seed, LP 2 seed, PAM 3 seed. LP’s actually in the catbird seat with no less than Co-DC & 2 seed and finished with district play. Not sure if a bye week before PO’s is good or not though.

Pretty big drop off for sure.

I remember experts picking LP 6th, and I said no way. Stepp was the outlier. But—even he only said 4th. LP has returned very quickly under Berneathy & staff to former self. With the talent coming up & returners, future looks very bright again. Just have to see about alignment.

Now that I’m thinking about it, if BH wins & PAM loses, LP is also 1 seed due to head-to-head & no 3-way scenario. BH needs to root for PAM & themselves. LP can be 1 seed if both PAM & BH lose, or if just PAM loses.

Weird is 10-5A today. Manvel & them guys are all scrambled up.

Except LP would be 1 seed if y’all both lose.

Berneathy was already talking a Saturday game. I guess that’s what he’s anticipating anyway. The rooting sure changed in the last week! 🤣🤣😂

Okay. Still a little confused. BH—with a win—would get a home game. LP will get a ‘home’ game regardless unless LP loses to BYE next week. Correct? (This is where I really should be rooting for Porter & KWP.) 😁

Huh? I thought if BH wins next game, they’d be 1 seed & get a home game against Tyler or Lancaster? LP can finish no worse than District Co-Champ & 2 seed with a home game.

Was worried about their focus. They seemed to be okay with that. But, PK needs some serious juju. LOL No injuries for either team that I saw.

Wish I could find out. LP seems to always hold stuff close to the vest & I’m not very connected anymore. Just a fan. Bunch of new homes & apartments/townhomes. I assumed a lot were younger families with younger kids. Maybe not. Of course La Porte is open enrollment also. That may be part of it.

Announcers on LPSportsnet just mentioned LP’s enrollment had the largest jump in a long time. No specific number given though.

I have no idea who half or more of the boys playing for LP are right now. But, good for them to get on the field!

…and back at ya’ Ha!

Looks like LP will wrap up at least the 2nd seed.

Lotta subbing. Good. Let’s get this game done w/o injuries to either side.

Wind is a big part of it.

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.
