Boy.... that was brutal.  Diboll has some good kids, but we played some really, REALLY bad football. 
Diboll’s lines absolutely destroyed us in the trenches. The only times we moved the ball were when we threw the it. That’s not a good look for a team that relies almost totally on the run game. Our only score was set up by a long pass play that put us deep in the red zone. 
Our qb Skinner was a bright spot.  Maybe the only bright spot. Well, unless you consider “opportunities to improve” all over the field a bright spot. We honestly looked like a team trying to implement a new offensive system. It was bad. 
Diboll has size. No offense, but I think we made them look a lot better than they are. Not trying to knock them, just being honest. They beat the crap out of us. 
An interesting note... Splendora edged out Sterling. Otherwise every team in our district got smashed by a smaller school this week. This is possibly the worst district in 4A D1. Lumberton (Jasper), LCM (Woodville), Huffman (Liberty), Livingston (Shepherd), and BC took big losses in games that should have been locks based on size alone. Sad times. 

I truly believe Silsbee will be fine. They play a bruising schedule to start and will only be better for it. I see an extended football season this year. They are going to be salty by regular seasons end.

Yeah.... that's what we said about the freshman group from 2016.... Which is the junior class this year. 

I'm going to edit my original response and just say....good luck to everybody tonight. 

Is that an offer?

Deweyville is where you can buy the best speed.....
 
Wait.... what are we talking about?

The real legal question is "who's getting billed for the time you put into this?"

Diboll

I'm really thinking about driving up to Diboll on Friday and checking out the action up there.  I think I'll have a lot better feel for the team after that. 

Yeah, if you can throw, you will give them fits. Livingston, as poo as theyve been has been able to throw somewhat so i guess thats why they've beaten Lumberton

Lara is supposed to be the 2nd coming of the big, bruising FB... he didn't do as much as I'd expected last year.  Ply is one to watch from the wing, I believe.  Young kid, but poised to make some noise.  
 
Like I said, I've kinda lost touch with the program so y'all know about as much as I do about the state of things in Cardinal Country.  

Defending a well run Slot T offense the first game of the season is always tough so I would expect BC to have their moments. Overall though I think Diboll will be too much in this one. 

I wouldn't wish for any school in the state to go through what Kirbyville has had to go through in the last yr +, both on and off the field. But I can tell you this, if they had....then there would be a lot less disrespect being thrown at us. Like someone said earlier^^, I think a lot of folks are sore from what Kirbyville has done to them on the football field in the past and they're taking this chance to kick us while we're down. I've noticed one very glaring thing though so far....we're getting no disrespect from anyone in Newton. They are going to dismantle us this Friday, but the Newton backers are being very very classy in how they handle it. Thank you. I'll be there cheering my team on no matter what cause....unlike some other teams....we weren't afraid to play the #1 team in the state/nation.

Allen Deshazo.... He was the OC one year and the DC another year under Dubois.
 
I haven't been following the team at all, so I'm in the dark like the rest of you guys. 

I just hope we are better than the 2018 WOS lol

It’s a really gray area... if the school was to punish the player based on an allegation that tuned out to be untrue or unproven, we’d be reading about the player’s family suing the school instead. 
I strongly suspect that the school WOULD have acted if the player was actually charged with a crime. That’s where Silsbee got into a jam a few years back... they were still having a “hands off” approach even after a grand jury felt there was adequate evidence to charge several players. 
 
Im not interested in rehashing the Silsbee incident, just using the event as an illustration. 

Lol...From what I saw from the stands, BC's 1's smashed it down Buna's throats the first series of Offense!!  13 play TD drive I believe with constant positive yards gained each play. They have a big, bruising FB btw. NO penalties or negative plays.  Looked crisp to me and yes we are young but it is a marathon, not a sprint my friend 

It’s a really top-heavy district, attendance-wise. You’ve got Lumberton, Splendora, and Livingston all dropping down for this realignment, and with LCM and having recently dropped down from 5A. Huffman’s enrollment is way up there, too. 
It’s also important to notice that despite all of that size, there isn’t a typical powerhouse in the group. 
Of course I’m expecting my Cardinals to finish at the top of the District, but fans from pretty much any school in the district  can realistically expect the same. It is truly wide-open at this point. 

Man, whoever is naming things in BISD these days needs to think outside the box a little.  
 
In all honesty, I'm pretty sure that regardless of what they end up naming it, we'll all be calling it the Butch until the end of time.  

I've been staying off of this thread but one thing for sure it will always be known as the Butch...
