They'll get a win in district. Maybe over Kirbyville as well.. never know.

Liberty lost the ball on a busted play on about the 2 with about a minute to go. Legitimate chance to tie but couldn’t hang on to it.

What possible benefit could come from this?

Interesting game for sure.. Will it be livestreamed anywhere? I'm honestly about coin flip on my prediction.. but I'll go with WV at home.

You're wrong. Just about everyone on here has congratulated the HD players and coaches on the two wins.. Including myself.. as they were unexpected. And the expectation had NOTHING to do with their enrollments. That doesn't make it an upset. It wasn't until HD posters began talking about the great feat of beating Kountze because they made the playoffs last year... even though they're not the same team. Just like Warren. Them having more kids in their high school doesn't mean that they should automatically win. I'm still waiting on you to answer my question about Allen.. don't worry. I already know it's because it's not all about enrollment. Just relax.. we're all thrilled that the HD kids are succeeding. Stop ruining it with unnecessary talk about how they shouldn't have won.

I'm sorry.. not double. They're only 1400 bigger than the next highest (eyes rolled). But they're still much bigger. Why aren't they winning everything? Allen 6959 6A Plano West 5579.5 6A Plano East 5445.5 6A Plano 4999 6A Duncanville 4529 6A Galena Park North Shore 4505.5 6A Lewisville 4468 6A Conroe The Woodlands 4330 6A Conroe 4312 6A Alief Elsik 4277.5 6A Laredo United 4234 6A Pasadena Dobie 4209 6A Arlington Houston 4204 6A Dallas Skyline 4184 6A Coppell 4088.5 6A Alief Hastings 4082.5 6A Katy Tompkins 4018 6A Deer Park 3999 6A Pearland 3978.5 6A Odessa 3926 6A Katy Seven Lakes 3767 6A Lewisville Hebron 3757 6A Odessa Permian 3738 6A

Nobody cares that Warren, Kountze, or Hardin is a bigger school than HD. They're awful for their size.. so it's not an upset. I promise that there are schools all over the state with a lower enrollment than HD that would embarrass them. And that wouldn't be an upset either.

I'm not an idiot.. and enrollment matters some to a point. How many kids does each school have playing football? That matters more than enrollment sometimes. By the way.. if enrollment is the thing motivating your excitement... why doesn't Allen High School win every single game in every single sport? They have almost double the next highest 6A schools.

I've seen nothing but congratulations extended to the HD players for their wins. It's not until posters begin implying how incredible the wins were... BIGGER SCHOOL, UPSET, KNOCKED OFF, MORE PLAYERS, etc.. Nobody cares, man. Nobody considers beating a terrible team as an upset.

What is not being let go is the hypocrisy.. He did to another school exactly what he complains about. That's being a hypocrite.

There they are. Those are the infamous words that HD fans force-feed the rest of us on a regular basis. I have no affiliation with either of these places.. but I'd bet that HD fans are the only ones that know or care about the overall record with anyone. Especially a school that's historically terrible. There you go again.. they suck. What's to celebrate? By the way.. beating Kountze and Warren is far from an upset. They're both awful as well.

Doubtful. "Own medicine?" Actually.. I agree with you. Congrats to the kids for winning but one should take care in celebrating the beating of a bad team. I agree.. Trinity is awful. The difference is that Hardin fans aren't on here talking about what a glorious win it was because (bigger school, playoffs last year, blah blah). That's the difference and a big one. Also, it's hilarious that you're playing off your hypocrisy as a ploy to "bait" someone. Hilarious.

Maybe.. but I have a feeling it will be relatively equally matched. I know that Hardin lost to Warren and HD beat them but someone told me that Hardin lost one their contributing skill kids about halftime. I remember the game being somewhat competitive (according to the score) up to that point. I'd say this might be a coinflip. Definitely more important for Hardin that HD.. as Hardin won't have a lot of chances for close games after this one. Meanwhile.. this game will be like the state championship of 79 to HD fans. I'm sure they'd have a parade if they won. Based on the rhetoric I've seen about this rivalry game anyway.

I can't let this one go: When people say, "congrats, but that team was terrible" to HD.. it is met with, "Why can't you just say congrats and nothing else?" It would appear that being hypocritical goes ignored for HD fans.

This is exactly why I would be careful to brag about this win just yet.. bigger school or not. Playoff team last year or not.

Actually.. pal.. you couldn't be further from your predictive and overused description of me. How very typical of you, however, to throw the "HD must've beat you in the past" card every time someone mentions the fact that a majority of HD's wins (even historically) are against the bottom quarter of all of football. No worries.. I'm not upset or anything. As that's the typical response of the die hard HD posters of this site. I did congratulate HD on the win. How about you try congratulating the team on the win without mentioning school size, player size, overall record, previous year's success/failure, 79 state championship, the names of your "studs", etc... I've been on this site for a while and I've yet to see that. Still patiently waiting.

Certainly. To be clear, I'm not implying that Neece is doing anything other that what HE feels is the best thing to do to make HIS team successful. Good coaches know what they have and make adjustments to their strengths. I'm simply stating that it's likely, now that he has another strong offensive mind on staff and a talented young passing quarterback, that there's been responsibilities delegated to said parties in some form or fashion. I'm not taking credit of any sort away from the head coach. Just that certain parts of the offensive strategy may have adjusted in part to another coach.. even if Neece himself is calling plays.

Then perhaps Coach Barrier is influencing the play calling a little.

Burkeville fans. In fact.. Burkeville has a state title more recent than HD’s last playoff win. It’s beyond time to move on.

I gotcha. Well.. was it a typically called game for Neece compared to his usual play calling habits? It seems that the young QB slung it around a little. That par?

Of course I'm aware of that. I guess what I mean is... How many times has Neece been a head coach where a former Head Coach comes in as an assistant with a son that starts as the varsity quarterback? I'll add that I've heard that Barrier has a reputation of being pretty well versed in the area. I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of arrangement was made before the hire about Barrier having a role somewhat.

Don't underestimate the level of (lack of) talent that they'll see on the "varsity" level in district. Some of the varsity teams in that district won't be a whole lot different than the JV of a slightly bigger school.

I'm sure nobody in the history of ever, has brought their own starting quarterback.

If I were betting.. I'd choose the home team in this one.

I'm already 0-1 on what I originally thought.. I figured they'd beat Warren but I guess they're worse off than expected. I'll give this week a coinflip.. but if I had to bet, I'd probably choose Evadale in a close one. That Warren loss destroyed any confidence I had in picking the Hornets. And if Evadale wins then I'd probably think Tarkington gets them in district.. hence closing any hope in a district win. Didn't they beat Kville last year? I don't see that happening again. And depending on who they have after Anahuac, WV, EC, and OF.. they may be a little beat up. Before the season I would've said they get 4 wins. Warren, Eva, HD, and probably Tark. Now... I'm saying I honestly don't know. It's early to predict after just one game but I'd bet they beat HD and nobody else. This week is an important game IMO. This entire post is opinion.. I hope for their sake that I'm wrong.
