I got Diboll 28-21. Should be a good game. Will it be streamed anywhere?:

I don’t think it’ll be video streamed but you can get the audio stream at

Westwood has been lighting up the scoreboard this season.  They travel to Diboll for another key district matchup.  If Diboll can make a few stops, I like their chances.  Westwood will score some but can their defense keep Diboll out of the end zone enough to win? 

Kville should get the W

I feel the same. I’ve not bought into the Westwood hype (will find out next Friday), but I’m looking forward to the Coldspring vs Woodville matchup. Right now I give the edge to Woodville but wouldn’t be surprised if Coldspring pulled it out. I will say that Diboll defends the slot T pretty well (Franklin had 162 total yards against Diboll) so I like Diboll’s chances against Coldspring if they get past everyone else before them. Just my opinion on the unpredictable world of high school football. Gotta love it! 
 

I would agree, not sure if Westwood has had the most difficult pre district schedule, while Diboll has, they have played Madisonville 5-0, Franklin, 5-0, and Kirbyville, 4-1.  They have been tested.  Diboll’s two losses are to Madisonville and Franklin, and not blow outs either.  Diboll will be ready

To me this will be the for the district championship for now until we play the winner of this game next week... I wonder how Westwood's QB will fare against Diboll's D.

Diboll D did a relatively good job containing the Eagle QB, who is very shifty and good arm,  major credit goes to the secondary for great coverage.  Woodville QB couldn’t find an open WR most of the game, aside from Woodvilles first drive with long pass, Diboll secondary did a great job.  Can’t forget about the Dline as well, they were able to get going in the 2nd half.  
 

westwood freshman qb Bryant will be the most dynamic QB Diboll will face thus far. Westwood offense seems explosive so will be a tough challenge for Diboll D.

Congratulations Lumberjacks... This win will definitely make things interesting in district.

I’m sure Westwood was in the house tonight with their bye week this week… they are at Diboll on homecoming next Friday 

Y’all sleeping on kville

Kville has a solid team

Please don't read to much into these games. Franklin had one of the worst games in the last 5 years against Woodville. Diboll always plays Franklin well.

I think on Diboll’s part you can read into their game.  They do tend to always play Franklin well, and is sometimes a measuring stick for them to see where they are as a team.   They were able to keep in check the lions O, but still not enough to win.  Diboll HC has a history of knowing how to run and defend Franklins style of offense.  If you know how to run in, then you understand what weaknesses to exploit.  Obviously no team has been able to do that AND play a complete game against the lions, I mean they have  a win streak of 30+ plus games, that says it all .  They’re just so good at it plus play well in all aspects of the game.  
 

Sure if you look at the Woodville - Franklin game you think this was very close because woodville was able to do certain things to keep it close but Franklin appears to have had uncharacteristic unforced turnovers that led to points by Woodville.  That wasn’t the case versus Diboll.  They played a pretty clean game aside from one fumble.  
 

this will be a close game but I’m giving the edge to Diboll due to their defense.  Offense still trying to find their identity, getting the kids in the right position.  They might not start really clicking until week 8, but when they do, watch out 
 

Can’t go against the Jacks, give me Diboll by 7

Big game. Winner will be in great position.

You a former coach? I respect your insight on lot of topics

Considered to be a top matchup in the district this week, the winner of this one will be in good position to vie for the district championship.  This will be another close one like last season.  
 

If Diboll get some consistency going with offense, getting some key players involved, they should be in good shape.  Their defense has been their strength up to this point.  
 

One common opponent in Franklin. 
 

this will be a good one 

How’s HJ looking this season?

Let’s keep the conversation going.  These are this week’s results.  

Palestine Westwood 52

Palmer 44

PW was still questionable going into this game but this one raised some eyebrows. Their defense may be suspect so they may have to win by simply outscoring their opponents with what looks like a high powered offense 

no real surprises with the other scores 

Buna 24

Crockett 8

Orangefield 35

Shepherd 21

Liberty 17

Woodville 54

Diboll 13

Franklin 28

HF 30

Coldspring 8

Tarkington 37

Huntington 7

With Franklin in Diboll this week, you have to play mistake free and disciplined, that’s just to keep the score respectable, but to have a chance at winning, Franklin needs to have a few mistakes, more than a few miscues, for the Jacks to have a chance.   It would have to be an uncharacteristic night for them as that’s just not how they play.  Diboll usually plays Franklin tough and put together a good game plan, as everyone said already, just hoping for a clean injury free game 

I still believe that Woodville, Diboll, and Coldspring will be battling it out for 1st.  If I’m honest, Woodville is the team to beat.  They looked really strong when I saw them in Diboll last season which Diboll won 21-14.  Could have gone either way.  I believe they returned a good bit.  Of course you have Coldspring who beat Diboll last year but I still left more impressed with Woodville’s capabilities.  
 

Palestine Westwood still has to prove they can actually be competitive against a true solid team.  They’ve had a couple weak opponents to start the season.  I believe Palmer will be the first true test to see where PW is this year.  The PW freshman QB will only get better and will be a fun one to watch.  Does he have the supporting cast? They’ve been at the bottom of the district last couple of seasons 

With what Diboll lost from graduation, it’s a toss up to where they land this year.  they’re not short of talent, just experience.  They get Coldspring and PW at home so maybe home field advantage gives them an edge

Yea I know plus that game between them last year was much better and a little bit closer than last night.  The team I'm kind of worried about in the district is Palestine Westwood.  They're are my dark horse pick to win district if they can pull it all together come district.

Madisonville skunked diboll last year 42-0, last night was definitely more competitive.  Was a defensive match last night with neither team able to get much going on offense.  I don’t think either team had over 200 yards total offense.  
 

as for Westwood will be interesting to see what they do this year ,  Diboll has had their way with them past few years 

I think DC will go to Diboll, Coldspring or Woodville.  I’d have to give the edge to woodville, but I know Coldspring always plays Diboll tough, seems like that game is always in Coldspring

I'm going off from a personal source that lives in the area plus the game vs. Madisonville as well.  It just doesn't seem that they will be in that DC conservation this season however a playoff position is not out of the question.

Madisonville is no slouch they went 3 deep last year in 4a-D2 and returned a good bit this year.  It’s game 1 and Diboll is known to start clicking at the right time.  It’ll be a competitive district race no doubt, gotta have the jacks in the DC conversation though.

Not the same team as last season.

They’re not the same team but I assure you they’re not fighting for 4th seed, they’re in the mix for the DC.

There a video stream of this game? 

Any word on Diboll jasper scrimmage? How do both teams look

#1 Franklin @ Woodville week 1

#10 Jasper @ #1 Franklin week 4

#1 Franklin @ #21 Diboll week 3

I’m looking forward to week 3, this series is still on the newer end with only 3 recent matchups that I’m aware of between Diboll vs Franklin, I think series is at 1-2 in favor Franklin.  How much does Franklin bring back from last season?

Diboll won the game in 8 innings but lost in the long run. There were a couple recruiters at the game hoping to pick up some talent, but left saying they didn’t need anyone of off Dibolls squad. They watch attitudes of coaches and parents.

This one got a little ugly, but I’ve been to a ton of Diboll games and this one game is not an accurate representation of the entire town or fans.

This is very surprising, Buna had a dang good team. I hate that our district got only 1 team out of the bi-district round. It seemed like the district was pretty strong this year. 

Buna did have a strong team this season.  But Diboll also had several back from a state tournament team last season.
