you just gave me a migraine

i was trying to figure up the scenarios in my head, and i got dizzy. i was going to list them, but i was afraid that i might get carpal tunnel. what it all boils down to is that we're in for an exciting three weeks of football, and every game is a must-win for the top four in the district.

if you had made this statement three weeks ago, i would've thought you were on crack, but now it's a very real possibility. i'm not entirely ready to send dayton to the playoffs just yet, seeing as they finish up with central, png, AND nederland. if they can finish up 3-0 in those games, then they've certainly earned their spot in the playoffs.

it sounds like you're trying to start something. if something crazy happens and png doesn't go to the playoffs, they might look back at that opportunity to score and wish that they had. he merely pointed out that a lot of people would've not understood and been pissed off if png had tried to score.

you're right... it wouldn't have come from those who understand the tiebreaker rules, but to the average joe this would've seemed like ya'll were just running it up.

it's only fitting that game 7 of this series is a close one.

the tribe just got screwed out of a run.

Hardin 27 Kountze 26

back to the actually predictions... WB wins big WB 38 PAM 17

it's going to be difficult to stop them... they have a fantastic team. 7-0 buna should be a good challenge, as they're a very confident team. If EC gets past buna, they still have to deal with 7-1 hardin and 5-2 kountze. both of those teams are good enough to beat anyone in district on any friday. It's going to be tough to stop East Chambers, but it might be tough for EC to make it the last three weeks of district without one loss.

looks fairly good, but nederland should be ahead of lumberton. They have identical records, and both of their losses came to the same team. If you look at the two teams' overall bodies of work, nederland has played a tougher schedule. until they play head to head, or unless nederland picks up another loss before then, they should be ahead of l-town. I'm not trying to take anything away from lumberton, they have a great team. i'm just saying that nederland's 6-1 has been more difficult to come by than lumberton's 6-1.

the comeback kids are at it again...

I'm getting kind of sick of the whole steroids issue... MLB has a good system in place now to punish those who are caught using, and i'm fine with that. I'm not fine with all of this going back and punishing players who were using in the past (or making them give up other players to avoid punishment). there were A LOT of players using 5 years ago, 4 years ago, 3 years ago, and it doesn't make sense to me to punish the few that are ratted out. also, the whole congressional witchhunt is pretty rediculous. baseball is a game where players do not rat out other players, and making them do so is bad for the player, and the game. everyone knows the consequences now, but why punish a player who has straightened up and is now following all the rules. if there are rumors that someone used a corked bat five years ago, should we suspend that player now?

nederland wins in a route 42-13

PNG just beat nederland and lumberton. it's always tough to get up for a game against a struggling team after winning two games against teams previously undefeated in district. if png can avoid overlooking the pirates, they should win by a bunch. PNG 49 Vidor 14

ozen is one of those teams with a bad record that still worry you when you have them in the schedule... anything could happen, but lumberton has proved they can compete with anyone in the district, and this is a game they should win comfortably. l-train 42 ozen 20

dayton's on a roll, although they've been beating the weaker teams. central hasn't been what we expected them to be this year. dayton 34 central 26

i'm back!

this ought to be one hell of a game! i'm going to take EC by 10 EC 34 Buna 24

who is this guy? my favorite thing about the soccer forum is that even though we're from all over the place, there is generally a lot of respect on here and very little trash talk.

all in all, i wouldn't worry about it too much... two classy teams played a good game last night, and we shouldn't let the actions of a few take away from the overall result of last night. png fans have been a class act as long as i've been a sports fan around here, and lumberton has been handling it's first loss this year with dignity, earning a lot of people's respect. no matter where you are, and how great your fans are, there are always going to be a few idiots who try to cause problems. I commend both teams and your fans for the way you've handled yourselves after this game.

the good news is that we can only go up from here... with all the talent in the area, lamar soccer should greatly improve over the next few years.

good luck to you... i have a feeling that all three teams that end up in the playoffs from the district will represent SETX very well.

wow! that's a big result.

dang mav, this is twice in a week we agree... your guys proved a lot tonight. good luck the rest of the season.
