You make a fine point, sir. Certainly a debate to be had for sure. I just don’t see Orangefield being knocked out of the playoffs with four teams being allowed to go. I don’t expect a district title from them this year , but you get four places to get in.  In regards to some of the other conversations on this thread…You know I can understand the slot T being used as they put it when you are “out athleted” if Orangefield was still playing WOS or Silsbee in that bigger district. Personally , I have a tough time believing that Orangefield is “out athleted” in this current district they are in. I saw the 9th grader throw the ball for Ofield varsity. You are getting him experienced early, and he is a big kid with what appears to be a decent arm strength. I refuse to believe that it has to be slot T or else “everytime or every year”….you don’t have the lineman or the current backs to run the system this year as was mentioned in here by others , then why are you refusing to adapt or change? Many opinions on this , but there is nothing wrong with at least stating an opinion like “bobcatdad” did earlier on here. It isn’t working for them right now. No one can argue that point. They are the largest school in the district they are currently in..Regardless of how someone loves the coaches or loves the school district, and I think it’s both very honorable and somewhat comical when people come roaring to the defense of a coach or a program… there is no excuse for not making the playoffs when four team go in this district. Orangefield cannot hide from that..they need to get in the playoffs. They have good enough talent in players to get in. Four teams go man..they need to be one of them, and I believe they will be. In fact , I believe they beat Buna this week and start 1-0 in district. I’m not sold on the Buna hype train. 

Orangefield looks absolutely horrible..4 win max this season…time to move on from the slot T

All he had to do was encourage kids to play baseball and football. 
 

I would think that if they can have less than 10 offensive penalties, don't fumble the ball, throw a pick six or touch the ball on a punt while surrounded by six Cardinals, they should be all right... 

Nederland has enough talent to be competitive. They shouldn’t be getting embarrassed like this. 

It's been a slow death since Jan 31 2017 for the dogs. 

This is my upset of the week. Going with the Dogs in this one. Silsbee is going to have a nice run when they begin with district play. 

Slice it and dice it anyway you want, but Sterling is improved and I hope that will continue for them. They are playing with a real spark right now. I don't think that will be near enough for them this Friday night though. After that, I wish RSS all the best.

Agree & LCM should cancel football if this happens.
Year 3 of the Lombardi/Peevy era you should be blasting teams like BC. 

I hate to tell you Brubaker but they got beat 54-26. They gave up 54. They have played 2 games and are averaging giving up 47 a game.  You are not going to beat anyone like that.  I will say the offense is at times better than last year(far too many penalties). Defensively, they are a far cry from being good.  Their special teams and I mean all the special teams are very poor, so if you want to call 0-2 good, then go ahead.  Every team in the state has the same aged players, so don’t come up with this youth excuse. Just know as of right now, they are not close to being a good team

This is Coach Toomer getting it done right here. Replaced a defensive coordinator last year that shouldn’t have ever been in that role and was not a leader or role model. Got an offensive coordinator that plays up to the strengths of the players he has. The Northbrook win was not all that impressive , seemed like Brazoswood was struggling a bit from last week as well. Either way, Congrats to them! On to Barbers Hill now. If they get that victory…look out, they may go from being picked next to last to being in the playoffs. Next week will tell me how good they really are. They play “The Hill” close or perhaps get that victory , that entire district goes on notice, and no team can overlook the rangers on the schedule then….But we are a week away from knowing if they are truly for real. Great Job, Coach Toomer. 

Thank you Gametime5. I saw Sterling last week and they looked very good. Their opponent was indeed week but Sterling "got after it" from the opening kickoff. Their team had some new spark and swag. As I mentioned, they appear to have a partially new staff. Their arrow is definitely pointing up!

Barbers Hill is a class act program and have a great leader in their head coach. Im taking Barbers Hill. I will be interested to see how this game turns out being that district play begins next week, and y’all have a team (Baytown Sterling)now playing possessed making the short trip to “The Hill” next week for the district opener. 

Anahuac rolls to victory in this game. 

This is truly the game of the week for me. I’ll say PAM….but in a close one. 

We've got a decent group of athletic  parents this year. They show promise. One of the fathers was clocked at a 7.2 40 yd dash and has strong political affiliations. We in good hands 

So everybody knows this guy is a jam up , excellent baseball coach. His record of success is proven. Has he done football at the varsity level in recent years? If so, I would understand this move. If not , I mean it would seem like BC could go with another member of the varsity level staff at BC to hold down the program until they found someone else to take over that role. I think someone on here spoke of this new OC they just hired that had been a head coach at Sulphur and served as OC and football coach at the junior college level.  Wishing BC much success. From what I have heard it’s a great place to live and work, and again I will say that if Landry has been coaching football at the varsity level in recent years , then I understand this move….but if not, football is not baseball, and I would be a little uneasy. Best of luck to Coach Landry and BC. I know they will be great again in baseball. Best of luck in football. 

I find it a lil funny that BC brought in an OC from a baseball school. Then asked for the resignation of the AD/HFC.
BTW, Sulphur football is not good like Sulphur baseball. And BC baseball is not good like Sulphur baseball. Not even close. So maybe they got exactly what they wanted.

They finally found a way to get baseball players to play football. Taking grounders on the 50 yard line. Batting practice in the end zone. 2-a-days will be interesting. Fall baseball will be fine at BC. And those that really wanted to play football are gonna fly out to another local school. OF, PNG, or LCM. Maybe even Vidor. I think Dubois has alot of fans in BC too.

Trahan is still on staff at Vidor.  BC hired Chris Towery as OC, he was previously the head coach at Sulphur High in la and has had many successful stops as an OC throughout the state of Texas in high school and jr college

It’s a fun district to watch.  Got some solid teams that make for some games that fans can really get excited about during the week. Think about WOS vs Jasper , WOS vs Silsbee , WOS vs HF, Silsbee vs Jasper….and there are more. These are games that fans look forward to and can talk about. I know it wasn’t great for WOS last year, but I look at them as a sleeping giant. You drive by that place and see that historic stadium where they have “crushed” teams for decades. They will be back.

When did Hull-Daisetta join this district and are they going to be THAT good?
