Some variation of the Wing T. Their QB is a decent runner. Their defense played pretty well between the tackles. Hey kept giving up big plays around the ends, though.

Last two... but who’s counting? i thought if we beat Cleveland we’d have a good chance at beating y’all. I didnt expect you guys to thump Silsbee, though. That’s going to be a good game next Friday. I hate that it’s our homecoming.

Hell, naw!!!

Not bad, really. They marched down the field in like a minute and twenty seconds and almost stopped our first drive. Big kids, decent at the skill positions. Their offense looked a lot like ours so their defense was ready for us for the most part. They always play us tough, though. They squeaked out a win over us in OT in 2014 and if I’m not mistaken it’s their only win in this district ever. They believe they can beat us so I think we always get a good effort out of them. Lot of size, decent speed...

Cleveland scores to end it 34-22 Cardinals.

Son. I’m speechless.

Bull.

21-7 BC with :19 left in the half. Cleveland at the BC 2. Knocking on the door.

Shoulda been 28 points right there.

10 4A D1 Predictions RattlerBlue replied to Pepper Brooks's topic in High School Football 2017 1. Navasota 2. Huffman 3. Silsbee/Bridge City/LCM 5. Cleveland *Subject to change 6 Jun 2016 84 replies That was your prediction from last year, too.

We end up traveling an absurd distance to play "district rivals" like Navasota.

That's where are gonna benefit from playing Coach Smith's system... It's a lot easier to "next man up" than it is to replace a one trick pony. Silsbee will be fine.

Of course I still expect my Cards to repeat, but after them I see.... Silsbee Navasota Huffman LCM All jokes aside, the next two games (Cleveland then LCM) will absolutely tell the tale of our season. If we can’t handle both of those schools, we’ll miss the playoffs. We’ve got a long way to go, but our bye week was timed just right for us to get a little bit more healthy.

I think BC pulls out a win. Navasota Silsbee

That’s no fun.

I don’t know who started it, but I know who won.... The fight, that is... we lost the game. Our Qb got ejected before the half.

Or OF refusing to play BC anymore. RIP The Bayou Bowl.

I'm not sure exactly how many kids are out right now. Denton is done for the season.

Yes, sir.

Denton is done. Baker is playing, but not having tremendous success behind a struggling o-line. The good news is that the next few defenses we face won't be WOS, Newton, or Jasper, lol. Lara got his first action since the first scrimmage last night.

We lost a lot of kids to graduation. We were expecting a smaller, less experienced group than last years starting unit. We really needed all of the games and practices we could get before Harvey. Combine that with the worst collection of injuries that I can remember here and this is what you end up with. Kids are playing out of position all over the place. Starting LBs on the o-line, starting corner in at RB, backup QB playing corner.... these are kids playing spots I've never seen them play before. Our offense isn't as inept as the score indicates. We went the length of the field on our second and third drives but came up scoreless. The good news is that we're starting to get some kids back now and this is our bye week. If we come back with wins against Cleveland and LCM we'll be back into the thick of things.

Poorly. Jasper is good, but we aren't matching up very well. Too many of our personnel are injured or playing out of position. Sad times in Cardinal land. I've lost count of how many kids are out at this point. E. Hamm and Lara are back this week, but rusty. Im not sure how many Jasper TDs they've called back. Jasper would be scoring quicker if they were playing penalty free. Dawgs driving again after we turned it over on downs.

Dawgs receive to start the half and take 8 minutes to punch it in. 33-7 Jasper.

Romero isn't dressed out to start the 2nd half. Starting Safety/punter/occasional RB in place of Denton.

I've always heard that she was "supposed" to pay for turf but the guy that handled her affairs at the end put the brakes on that particular endowment. He's still around town.
