Orangefield 6
Hardin 4
Orangefield clinches DC. 4th consecutive District Championship for Coach Erickson. 2 in 4a and 2 more in 3a.

Not at all. Why would we? We played great all year and ran into a good team. Just think CH could learn to be humble and be decent ppl and not act like they did. Pretty embarrassing to their community. 

My experience with central heights stems back about ten years, but they have the most classless fans I’ve ever seen(and I’m from buna where it ain’t much better 😂)

If you were at the games this weekend and didn’t see anything classless then you yourself may be. There are no hard feelings from Orangefield from losing. CH is without a doubt the better team after watching the 2 games. If you need a description of classlessness, taunting the other team, mocking and degrading them, anything other than yelling to root for your team is uncalled for. Orangefield yelled all season FOR their kids, but never once yelled at opposing players. We have knocked other teams pitchers off them mound and we clapped them all the way to their dugout. Which is just decent and having good sportsmanship. CH would yell degrading things at the opposing pitchers as they were leaving the mound. This happened Thursday and today from CH spectators, from CH players and even some questionable things from the coaching staff. Winning with class would be kicking our butts, which they did, without taunting, mocking or anything else. That without a doubt did not happen. Regardless of what you have “seen” from them.

Hahah. You must be from CH or pulling for them, but from what I heard was classless. Just my opinion on it. 

Great season OF. CH could very well make a run, but their fans have zero class over there. 

Let’s get it on and we will see! 7pm tomorrow night live on the NFHS NETWORK!!

He really does.  I think it helps too that he has a reputation as the kind of AD people love to work with.  He genuinely loves all the sports.  Like most Texans (myself excluded), just football the most.  The OF community is blessed to have him. 

Kelly wins 4-2!   State Champs!

From my understanding Orangefield and Central Heights have 6 common opponents being Carthage, Longview Spring Hill, Tatum, Sabine, Pollok Central, and Kountze. With Orangefield being 8-0 while CH being 5-3.

Orangefield in 2 

CH has a great tradition, and routinely go deep.  They have state championships and have produced some great alumni that went on to play at high levels.  With all that said, give me the Bobcats from the OC.

I’ll take Orangefield in 3 games

This game!!!

I 100% agree! It’s a game, kids need to learn how to respect authority, last game of his life or not. Cuss your boss at work, you most likely aren’t getting a warning. This is on the parent of their kid gets ejected. I can assure you if I cuss an official, they wouldn’t have had to suspend me. My dad would have dragged me off by the ear and would not have allowed me to play the next game regardless. Life lessons are much bigger than a game.

I think you're taking what was intended as a complement and turning it into something else.  I saw Buna this year and they were competitive with a bunch of guys who don't jump out at you athletically.  Thats pretty standard for Buna with most teams being a little better. Lots of good players have come through there, but I don't recall a whole lot of 6'6 guys tearing down rims.  Whitmire always did more with less and that's impressive.

Seeing a few comments regarding players being ejected.
Honest question !!!!!
Should an umpire allow a HS Athlete to direct profanity towards him?
IMO, it should not be tolerated at all.  HS students directing profane language towards an adult is unacceptable in my book.

Also Coach Erickson 200th win.

No knock on him or the team, because you beat who’s in front of you, but if looks like two playoff wins against a .500 team and a team with a losing record was what it took to get to state?  Unless maxpreps is missing some games? If that’s all it takes they should be going to state about 8 out of 10 years if he’s a good coach and attracting local talent.  Their next game is against a district opponent whose incomplete maxpreps record is 7-11.  I don’t know how all of the private stuff works, but I seem to remember maybe they’re soccer team winning a state championship and only having to win 3 or 4 games.  

Thought it was Tyners second season.....

Yes, I believe it is his 3rd season.

I know both of these Athletes personally and I will say this about them both! They made the best decision for themselves and for their personal goals. Neither of these players needed anyone elses opinion on the decision they felt was best for them. It completely blows my mind that so many people are so vocal and what a player should or should not do. Maybe we need to have everyone post on their upcoming possible promotion at their job and we can VOTE on if that is a great decision or not for you. If you decide to take it then we will rake you and your family across the community boards on how that was not the best decision for the community or the program.
  I also sit in the stands and so many of our fans are so negative and out right disrespectful to majority of the players for so many reasons. When I hear and see so many the funny thing is they never even played sports in High School. absolutely breathtaking!
  Noah and Gage are leaving our school in just a few weeks and they will be representing their Hometown School and it truly sucks that there are those that feel like they let our football program down because they chose the best pathway for their DREAM! Maybe just maybe, everyone can finally be honest and focus on the real issues with Big Ned! It starts from the top and I am not speaking on the AD! Starts higher than that!!! 
  Last point I will make is this.....Before you comment please remember that our Athletes from our surrounding areas read and make comments about everything that is posted! Be the Change you wish to see!
  Noah and Gage Good Luck to you both and always know there is a lot of us that will cheer you both on until you finally retire your cleats!
