PA Memorial has played some tough teams and there a couple of tough teams in your district as well.  If the Titans get by Channelview next week I think they should be favored in every game till North Shore.  Its tough to tell though because some of their opponents (like LaPorte) have played some tough teams in pre-district as well.  Those who have pointed out that the record in pre-district doesnt matter are right.  I'd rather play tough teams and lose than blow out weak teams.

I agree with your assessment.  Your D will have to contain them and give your O a chance to win the game late.  The thing I learned from our game is that no matter how well your D plays (Friendswood's D is very strong) GR is going to score and they can score quickly.  Their defense is not as strong as their offense.  Some of their O linemen also play D line and can tire in the second half.  Friendswood came out in the second half and went to a hurry up offense taking advantage of the new clock rules and tired the GR D out to get the lead.  Even then though GR scored on long pass play and a long drive to retake the lead on two separate occasions.  They are tough, but they can be beaten.  Getting lucky will help -- so I wish PA good luck on Friday.

Not to interrupt the fun you guys are having, but George Ranch is a very strong team.  Three fast running backs, a QB that can throw, big O and D lines.  Friendswood beat them on a last second 4th and goal throw and that throw would have been meaningless without a miracle defensive score that came before that.  And, we were playing them game two at our house. I'm not saying that PA Memorial cant beat them, but they are really good and will be a challenge.  Looking at PA's schedule there are some tough games ahead in district as well. If PA wins district they will prove themselves to be one of the best teams in the area and the state.

I dont know you, I didnt witness what happened in the game, and I know nothing about your sons. I do know what its like to have someone run down my child and I know the rage that creates in me as a father.  From your posts in this thread I would say that you have worked your whole life to overcome the circumstances in which you grew up and to protect your children from the dangers you had to face.  If that is true then you have shown your sons what a man really is.  By posting your response here you have defended them like a father defends his kids in a manner that is equal to the way in which they were attacked.  My only advice is to continue to be the example you have been to them so far.  Let your rage pass and show them that a man can be above the criticism of others and forgive those who speak from ignorance.  You and your sons are to strong to be hurt by the word of fools.

You know in life people can push and push, and you think you have to stand your ground. In most instances you do, but today a kid who one called a thug said to me in a calm voice. He said daddy just move aside and let all that hit the ground. In shock I asked what that means, if you move from in front of the nonsense, it will land where it belongs. Wow never to old to learn, and never know who you will learn it from. Thank everyone who know the real Leon, and know he is just a big kid learning. Love #1 #7

You are hilarious... Why shouldn't Central be amped up about the team after a dismal recent history?  Why shouldn't they brag about the athletes, if they are there.  Why wouldn't they feel good hanging close with team bigger Teams that have blasted them in recent years?  I heard no excuses, I see proud fans on this board giving the teams that won the games props and still being proud of their team in gracious losses.  I mean, what should they say?  "We are trash and won't win a game in 5A this year since we lost to two 6A schools!!   We should give up now"  No!  they should talk about the shortcomings, celebrate the moral victories, and live to fight again!  With great expectations there is always the possibility of disappointments! We are adults and we all know this! 

Tyler (soph) took every snap and QB last night.  We all knew he was the future, but it looks like the future is now.  He is sneaky fast and illusive and his passing is coming along (obviously).

They are good, real good.  Big on both lines and very fast in the backfield. Your defense will have to play assignment football and stay not over pursue on sweeps and edge runs.  All running backs are tough to bring and shifty.  They can stop on a dime and be back at full speed in a heartbeat. Their passing game is a little suspect, but then they run it well enough not to need it much.
 
We played well and deserved the win, but it took a defensive touchdown and a last minute semi-miracle reception to beat them.  I honestly think Friendswood's superior conditioning was the difference.  Their defense wilted a bit at the end of the first and again at the end of game.  If your offense can sustain hurry up drives and take advantage of the new clock rules to get set without giving the defense a break it will help.
 
Bottom line is that they are going to score.  I dont think anyone can hold them to less than the mid 20s, so your offense has to find ways to score consistently against their big defensive line.

I know exactly what you mean.  My parents season tickets were about 2 rows from the top for most of my life. 
 
For those that are still bashing Abe Martin, I'm not saying its the nicest stadium, just one of the great places to see a game because of the atmosphere.  And, I've been to games in Houston, Dallas, Austin and lots of places in between, they still dont have the history and atmosphere of the Abe no matter how nice the facilities.

totally agree! I love the Abe, just not the walk up top on the home side to get a seat when its packed during LP games.
