  1. Forgot in the same district pairing as Little River Academy, Comanche over Rockdale.

    As for Brownwoods district all 4 could easily win or only 1. Wylie's the only guarantee. Big spring plays first to 100 with that defense, Brownwoods still rebuilding, and Stephenville is playing without Stidham. They should be okay because I have heard their back up already has at least 5 FBS scholarship offers after just starting against Wylie.
  2. Close:

    Bama/miss st winner
    Florida st
    Oregon
    Tcu/Baylor


    Florida State will end up losing in the acc championship game. Then it would be between possibly 2nd SEC school and the Big 10 champ which could be ohio state. They are quietly sneaking into the conversation. That would cause drama.

    As for Baylor/TCU saga if both end up with one loss shouldn't that be Baylor since they beat TCU in what basically becomes a play-in game.
  3. West Orange Stark will be making Football History next week. Scarborough lost to KIPP Academy tonight 32 to 8 to become the first winless team to ever make the UIL playoffs. A 57 game losing streak is on the line next week.

     

    Sadly, this only the second dumbest thing to come out of the realignment this time around, because in the defense of UIL they may not have known that Jones was on the block for closing last January.

  4. stidham got hurt. In a sling. Hand injury.


    Yeah heard it's just a broken finger but can stephenville just adopt QB High as their name? It's only fitting. 57 against a really good team in Big Springs that took them to the end in the playoffs last year sounds good anytime but with the backup. And it was at their place. Seriously how is that possible?
  5. PA has 2 middle schools and Beaumont 6. The play in one league, division or whatever you want to call it. They all play each other already giving them 7 games a piece. They could have a championship game where the 2 best record's play each other but right now they just crown whoever has the best record, when it's said and done, as the champion. Beaumont only has 1 7th and 1 8th grade team and probably won't have any more. Most of those kids do go out for the Freshman teams at their respective schools...


    But why not merge the leagues and have an overall champion? They all play each other in high school so what's the difference? UIL allows for 9 games so play 9 games. The same in basketball and volleyball. Having more games may cause more students to play.
  6. This something that has been a different sight for me living down here. Growing up in West Fort Worth every school seemed to have three 7th and 8th grade teams. We had a league of 16 schools and every team played the full allotment of 9 games in football and 12 in basketball and volleyball. These were not large 5a but a mix from Burleson and Weatherford down to schools the size of Stephenville. And they were not the best football schools Joshua and Brewer, the two worst football teams in the state, were able to have 3 teams as well. I think that not having the full allotment of games hurts just as much for development because they are not able to actually go and hit somebody but they have to practice so much beforehand. When you are in seventh grade you do not care about practice you want to go knock out somebody from another school. That is a fact. The schools down here are the same size as those up there so I agree I do not understand why every school doesn't have 3 teams because it does seem to affect the numbers getting into high school because so many teams have only 3 high school teams when the rest of the state averages 4 to 5 at the 4a and 5a level.

     

    Also since it is middle school football, can someone please explain why Beaumont/Port Arthur have their own league? Merge the two play everyone in your side once, play one crossover game and then have a placement round to determine the champion. It works up there and those teams are a lot more spread out. This way you can get a Beaumont champion and a whatever the league is called champion and then play for all the marbles. That might make more want to play as well knowing that your games mean something for the last week of the season.

  7. Oh Wow..lol. Bet that was a shock to their system. :D


    Lost head coach, D1 running back was out, D1 athlete was not 100% and replaced almost entire defense.

    Still was a flat out stomping I think 42-7 at one point in Aledo. Reminds me of 2011. Lost entire defense and started out 1-2 with a stomping by lake travis. Then avenged stephenville 49-48 loss with a 33-0 win in the quarters.

    All in all probably good for them and the fans maybe bring back some of the old passion
