From what I'm told by some coaching friends, Woodville is athletically deeper.  But.. I heard that Anahuac had the ability to beat EC as well.  It didn't matter.  If the game comes down to tradition over unorganized (which often happens), then EC gets the nod from me.  But that's why they play.
I wouldn't feel comfortable placing a bet on either to win. That's me.

Coach Harrell at Ennis represents one of the most miraculous comeback stories in all of high school football.  He is a close friend of mine and after a debilitating  battle with MS, was forced to retire shortly after winning his 2nd state championship at Ennis.  After a few attempts at Stem Cell Therapy, he was able to get back into coaching in a limited capacity.  Now, he is hopping around like a teenager after being bound to a walker/wheelchair...and back at the school he once retired from.  Trust me.. somebody cares.  While not relevant to this game specifically, the fact that Ennis is 8-0 with him at the helm again is pretty heroic.  Maybe you don't care... but somebody cares.  I personally get chill bumps thinking about Ennis even being in these types of conversation.. knowing what I know.

I heard that Anahuac has some legit skill kids.  Some kids that may or may not have come in from outside the district...which happens when you upgrade facilities.  Even so, it should be very apparent to any who doubted that East Chambers remains the team to beat within that local 3A district.  There obviously is a culture there that other schools should aspire to have.  A good friend of mine told me just last week, "Anahuac definitely CAN win because of the talent they have. The problem is that East Chambers usually doesn't know that they're supposed to lose". 
Good win, East Chambers.  Unfortunately (usually), when a team with that mindset runs into them down the road it usually comes down to playoff winning experience.  Miracles happen, though (Texas A&M).

It’s.. not.. the.. coach.. 

The amount of clueless you possess is astounding.  I have friends of friends at Hardin.  What are their numbers?  How’s practice participation? How’s summer workout participation? Do they act right in class? Do they pass?
I understand it’s easy to blame the coach.  In fact, ignorant people use that as the go-to.  But.. there’s a lot more to that place having been awful for 100 years or whatever than the coach.  Maybe people in the community should pick something else to do.  Academic UIL, maybe?  I don’t know.. 

As electric as a dead battery.

The only time HD is not blabbing about the score is when they’re losing.  So.. I’m betting that DV is up.

That explains why the HD faithful were so quiet.

Impressive.

Thank goodness.. I was beginning to wonder who HD might beat this year.  With Sabine Pass canceling the season and all.
