Lightning/Eagle

Kingwood Park will compete but Barbers Hill will still be the team to beat.

Woodlands win the district but New Caney will make the playoffs.

I'm going with Cleveland 30 to 26.

I'm going with Livingston 33 to 28.

I'll go with Splendora over Tarkington 20 to 6

North Forest

Rangers win 21-7.

Guess Memorial forgot the secret, or someone let North Shore in on it.

His son Mike was one of the best high school athletes I ever saw.

Brenham should be the favorite but I think the Hornets win this one.

I think this game is going to be close. I say it will be decided by 7 or less. I'm gonna go with Dayton because they are at home.

First time I've had a chance to get online since last week. Cleveland flat whipped NC all over the field. Both sides of the ball. Yes the defense was on the field a long time but they couldn't stop Cleveland at all. The secondary got burned numerous times. Not going to point out any individual players but one of the safeties was terrible. I agree completely that NC has to get out of the spread. With the athletes they have their strength would be in the line. They need to try to play ball control and eat up as much clock as they can. Personally I didn't like the way Taylor ran the athletic program as the AD, but he was okay as a football coach. Coley had a good program and yes Dunn helped alot but he was able to adapt to his players strengths. Roberts doesn't seem to have control of the team, looks to me like the coordinators make all of the in game decisions.

Splendora 19 Liberty 13

I'll take Lufkin by 10.

New Caney vs Jacksonville I believe it was 1999. Mixture of sleet and snow and a 30 mph north wind. Game was played at Baylor. Two now professional athletes were quarterbacks. Adam Dunn for New Caney and Josh McCown for Jacksonville. Also watched PNG in a playoff game a few years back at SFA in a down pour.

I have been to a half dozen or so games at Abe Martin stadium in the last few years. The home side is impossible to sit in, their season tickets sales are crazy. The visitors side always has had a large number of Lufkin supporters sit in it. For the most part they are civilized and cheer their team on, but I have witnessed some things get out of control. I was there a couple of years ago when the Woodlands was there. Their was some Lufkin supporters who were there for nothing but trouble. I didn't care who won, was just enjoying a high school football game but was very uncomfortable with what was starting to go on around me. I left my seat before the game was over. Their was not enough security in the stands. The police who were there were all talking together under the visitors stands.

Their is no visitor parking in Livingston. You have to park in a little neighborhood on the street. Good luck getting a seat. If you have any size band and drill team you don't have much more space.

I played football, basketball, baseball, and track during high school. Graduated from New Caney in 81.

Maybe he talked with MC Elite coach. ;D ;D ;D That is the first thing I thought of too. Maybe this should be a topic for a new post, but I'll ask it here anyway...Are there different levels of cheating or is breaking the rules breaking the rules? Which MC Elite team are ya'll talking about? From Willis or Magnolia? MC Elite team with the coach that has initials of GS Ok thanks, I have no idea who that is but it's not either of the teams I was asking about so it doesn't matter.

Best Team - Lufkin 2001 I believe (Reggies senior year) Best Game - LaMarque and C.E. King I Think it was 97 Great game won by LaMarque 7-0 Best Player - Michael Mosely Humble 76-77 I would put Chip Ambres and Adam Dunn close behind him. I watched Todd Dodge play in the dome in 80-81 They threw it all over the field. These are all players, Games, and teams I actually saw.

I like Stephenville to win it all.

What's it gonna look like in your opinion?

Bracket posted. Orange Crush opens against Lone Star Pride at 1:00 Friday at Dyes Park F3. GT Shockers Gold will play Texas Travelers Gold at 4:30 Friday at Dyes Park F6. Any other teams from the Golden Triangle area playing?
