I agree, I’m not from Cleveland area but have seen the explosive growth and development in that area. I don’t have to describe it, you all are familiar and if it’s a generational thing, then time will have to be a mitigating factor where 2nd and 3rd gen’s will have to close the gap, but as you said much harder in the upper classifications. The Hispanics in Diboll are definitely not 1st gen

Great points Cleveland has a very unique situation that I don’t know will improve anytime soon

I didn’t mention state tournament appearances by both baseball and softball just a few years ago. Like someone said, you must have parents involved and a system in place that will foster positive growth and opportunities

I’m pretty sure their big #88 DE was seriously injured (knee) last game vs Diboll. Huge loss for them if that was a season ending injury

Diboll has a large Hispanic population in school system, over 50% and large part of team are Hispanic year over year and they’ve remain competitive for most part, down years past couple seasons but they’ll be back. Just glance at the roster

Diboll has had a decent, if not, competitive pre district schedule with West Rusk, Shepherd, Madisonville and Woodville. They’re def young and down this year but they’ll make a late season surge

I have a feeling it’ll be Diboll vs Hardin 1st round

Any updates from Diboll Jasper scrimmage

Congrats Woodville! From a Diboll fan, happy for y’all!!

Respect

Ok thanks for clarification

Anyone have updates from the Lufkin hoopsfest tournament?

Lufkin has a top Recruit in Austin Brown

Diboll finished up district play with a 36-21 loss at Teague on Friday night to and tied for second place with Fairfield and Teague at 3-2. The Lumberjacks (4-6, 2-3) are the No. 3-seed and will face East Chambers (6-3, 4-2) at 7 p.m. Thursday at Tomball ISD Stadium. East Chambers finished second behind Orangefield in District 10-3A DI. Winner of this one will play winner of Franklin and Halletsville

Diboll had their missed opportunities, similar to West Rusk game, unable to execute in the red zone. Have a bye week at a good time to fine tune

See that mostly everyone going with Woodville in the pick em contest this week

Diboll got their first win last week, can they get their 2nd when they travel to Woodville to take on a former district foe.

Did the Woodville QB pick up offers from Baylor and Texas Tech, thought I saw that somewhere

Ok Diboll social media has corrected the time to 4:00 pm thanks for the heads up

Everywhere I’ve checked says 4:30

W21 Diboll (25-2) Vs. F22 Anahuac (13-13-1) Game 1: Thursday, May 2 @ Jasper, 4:00 Game 2: Friday, May 3 @ Jasper, 4:00 Game 3: Saturday, May 4 @ Jasper, 1:00 (if necessary)

Diboll 12 - Woodville 2 final

Diboll 5 Tarkington 1 final

Thanks for updates

I think Diboll would have their hands full with either Hitchcock or LRA. Diboll has at least played once vs LRA couple years ago and don’t think they have any history vs Hitchcock. LRA qb play looks solid as does their line play. Is that the same QB LRA had in 2021? LRA looked like the better coached team tonight and wanted it more. Diboll has Buna and their focus is on them. Maybe they’ll get a shot at LRA
