    OlDawg got a reaction from AledoAlumni in 5AD1 District 8 and Region 2 discussion.   
    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.

    Well…….regular season is over and I hate to end it on a loss but now I’m a fan of La Porte, PAM, and Porter.  We have TONS of talent in this district.  I really hope we can all get it to together and make a run.  I’m sick of the same teams going deep every year.

    La Porte turns in 2249. That's higher than West Brook's number of 2232.
    Quite possibly LP goes to 6A.

    If it happens, may actually be a better matchup for the district from the 2/3 seed perspective & run D’s. After watching a little of Forney, LP vs. Forney tilt would be like 2 Shermans playing Rock Em Sock Em Robots. LOL

    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.

    Only LV as far as run game, but they really didn't stop the run consistently from what I was told. 
    Fulshear is #3. Forney is #8.

    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.

    Since last realignment it’s always been about the other side … Not a popular opinion but BH LP and PAM (firing on all cylinders) will be tough for anybody on that side not named lobos. Maybe they need be worried about our side.

    😂That's distractions for the fans (certain ones), not the program. 
     
    Haven't taken an L on Senior Night since 2015 (North Shore game), and honestly after last Friday's whoopin I really don't see that changing this week. 
     
    But, to answer your 1. And 2.:
    1. I reckon they'll be more focused this week because of that.
    2. Just win. They'll control what they can control.
