lol. they beat a 5-5 team that was 4th place in another district. I expected a lot closer game, but they still haven't beaten a team with a winning record all year, and bi-district results have made it very clear which district is better. I do look forward to seeing them play silsbee, assuming they don't blow it against madisonville again this year.

Like I said, once Bellville beats silsbee THIS YEAR, I'll be proven completely wrong.

okay. again, once Bellville beats Silsbee I'll be proven completely wrong. Just like they would've totally proven me wrong last year, except they lost to Madisonville, who then gave up 60 to silsbee the week after Bellville exploded on them for 3.

Dak has played as well as he ever has over the last month. Hoping he can keep rolling.

It didn’t feel like nonsense last year when they played a fairly easy schedule and met a decent team in the second round and put up 3 points. This year the schedule has been much worse (can’t control who you play in district, I get it), although I expect them to avoid the upset this time, and we’ll find out what happens when they finally play a good team. Still, 11 games into the season Bellville has played exactly zero teams that finished the season with a winning record. No denying they looked really good against a WOS team that was competitive with quality teams all year, but it sure felt like WOS also finally quit on their coach as well. They beat Silsbee in the 3rd round and I’ll agree with you that my comments on the schedule were all nonsense.

Tough draw in the second round. Cuero hasn’t played a super strong schedule, so it’s kind of hard to judge some of their results, but without a doubt they’re very, very good. HF lost Pirtle a couple of weeks ago, which is a huge blow on both sides of the ball. I’ll have to pick Cuero in this one, but I think HF has a better shot than last year.

Not anymore. Our 2 beat the stuffing out of your 3, and our 3 handily beat your 2. Top 4 are light years better as a whole, even if WOS didn’t show up tonight. A 4th place finish (could’ve/should’ve been 2nd) in this district is an easy 2nd beating out sealy, NF, and Columbia

Apparently I misclicked this one on my pickems. Because I definitely didn’t expect an upset here, but for some reason I have Nederland picked when I look back at it 🙄

I am. You have Bellville at 10-0 and nobody else with a winning record. West orange stark has played one of the toughest schedule in 4A, and until tonight, every game they’ve played has been close. They have two overtime losses and two 1-score losses against 4 teams who would finish in the top 2 in Bellville’s district. Those 4 teams have a combined record of 34-6. Nobody besides Bellville is better than 5-5.

Against all the good teams they’ve played this year their athleticism has kept them in it, but you have to have some clue what’s going on to play against the slot-t

They are tonight. I’m pretty shocked, to be honest. But WOS would finish second in that district with one loss

Same team, but not the same team. They’ve rolled over. Unless you think bellville is 35 points better than all those teams.

I’m not discounting them at all, but your 100 point stat can be discounted because of the district they’re in. That’s the only point I was making. Obviously they’re a good team.

They’re playing the ghost of WOS, not Silsbee (or HF or Jasper, for that matter)

When I’m wrong, I’m wrong. Thought this would be a good game. As tough as their season has been, WOS has played close games against teams as good or better than Bellville all year. Surprised to see them roll over like this, even if they weren’t favored to win.

You realize that bellville doesn’t have a single team on their schedule that finished the season with a winning record? Bellville is solid, don’t get me wrong, but they’re in at least 3 dogfights in Silsbee’s district.

HF picks their second play. Then scores again on the first play, but called partway back for a hold. Driving now

Pirtle is out for the year, which will hurt next week

Royal came into this matchup 9-1 last year and HF beat them 40-10. This year’s HF squad is a little better, and Royal is only 5-5 on the year. Might get ugly

HF returned the opening kickoff to the BR 32, then scored on the first play

!!:0/7/1

it's the only sport that would change.

hardly. for one, there's no credibility in football currently anyway, and to make this something as important as a matter of integrity is overstating.

and you can't argue that you're saving money on gas, especially factoring in Livingston.

Even on paper this should be a close one. OT loss to 5AD2 #3 PNG. OT loss to 4AD2 #8 HF. 4 point loss to 3A-D2 #5 Newton, who's winning most 4A districts. 3 point loss to Jasper, who's realistically a top-15 team in 4AD2, and ranked in the top ten if they aren't playing in this district. And then the 2 TD loss to 4AD2 #2 Silsbee, in which WOS was plenty competitive. WOS could've easily won 4 of those 5 games, and I'll be honest, I think you could swap these two team's schedules and Bellville would be 5-5 (maybe 6-4) and WOS would be 10-0.
