That team wasn't good, they just had some easy opponents. 5 wins, 5 losses, but the 5 losses were all between 25-45 points. I just went back and looked at HJ's history. The football team wasn't bad from when the school formed until around 1985. In the last 40 years or so there have been three groups of athletes that have come through and had decent stretches. The 90-94 kids went 35-14-1 over five seasons, but never made the playoffs because that was back when one team went. Those were good teams. my group of athletes was 98-01. We went 30-16 over 4 seasons, three playoff appearances and 4 playoff wins, including a run to 4th round in 99. The class of 01 was probably the best of those teams, but after starting 8-0 all of our main offensive players got hurt over the span of about a game (qb, rb, fb), and that was all she wrote. Lost a double OT game, then by 2 to top-5 Barbers Hill without any of our guys, ended up with the #3 seed and got whacked in the first round of the playoffs by Bridge City, who was very, very good (four rounds deep that year). Without the injuries we go 10-0 and who knows what happens from there in the playoffs. The 2013-2016 group was solid, and had 3 winning seasons in 4 years, with a 2-8 season in the middle of 8-5, 11-2, and 7-4 seasons. the 2014 team was arguably the best team HJ has ever had. They played state finalists WOS really well in district before it got away at the end, and then ran into LaGrange and JK Dobbins in the 3rd round of the playoffs, losing by a touchdown. So that's about 11-12 seasons in 40 years where there was a decent football team? I honestly couldn't say why there isn't more consistency. You'd think the "bad years" would be 4-6, 5-5, 6-4, but there's a lot of 1-9,2-8, and 3-7 over the years.

No clue. I graduated 22 years ago and we had a really good team while I played there, for about a 4-year stretch. Then about 12-13 years later they had a really good team for like 2 years. That's pretty much been it for the last 30 years, maybe 4-5 good teams. You've got a school with a bunch of smart kids and a decent amount of good athletes, they shouldn't be nearly as bad at football as they are every year, even as a basketball school.

I don't either. But it's the one game I see them maybe being competitive in.

It’s been a brutal stretch as a rangers fan. They’ve blown half their save attempts this year. The funny thing is, at the start of the season if you offered me this position at this point of the season I would’ve jumped on it. But how they’ve gotten to this point is painful.

Barrier didn’t stick around long it seems. Must have missed that he left

Worst week I’ve had since I started doing these again. 23 right next week and I’m right back in it

I’d say burning two of your four non-district games playing HJ and BC is a bigger issue than scheduling WOS.

Looking like a second straight year with BC being their only winnable games. Except BC has improved some, while HJ might be worse than their 1-9 squad from last year

They scored a touchdown last week

@lionpride08 beat me to it

Lovejoy 42 Argyle 14 argyle is 0-2 having been outscored 92-28. They went 14-1 and lost by a TD in the state semis last year. They’d only lost 3 games the previous 3 seasons.

Was just about to post this one

Aledo 48 guyer 45

Kilgore 24 Gilmer 23 a week after playing Carthage within 3. Kilgore is solid this year

Really not a bad loss. St. Thomas is good

They went 5-5 last year with their worst loss being 13 points. Obviously some drop off, but nah, United couldn’t compete with them
