Ernest Ceasar 75yrd TD run! 24-21 HF 7:50 left in game

High snap scoop and score for HF, 2pt conversion good. 17-7 4:47 left in 3rd

Big drive to end the half for EC. Fourth down conversion on 4th and 10 with :47 seconds left in half was huge. EC needs to get out of their way, and they will be fine.

People who have not seen EC in person will be surprised the difference from last year. Coach Skinner has taken their weight training to a different level. Defensively the secondary has speed all over the place, the linebackers are very good, and they are big strong/quick upfront. Coach Fontenot doesn't get the credit he deserves, he's a great defensive coordinator. Offensively they need to sustain solid drives that end in points. Sutherland will have his team well prepared. All together I think EC is the better team and should win this game, but we are talking about 15-18 year old kids.

What free agents did HF pick up from last season? I guess I'm missing the part where they became 20-30pts better than last season.

Looking at some of these predictions, I'd like to think Crow will be on the menu

I will be very shocked. When did HF get so much better than EC? EC wins last season, returns everyone (plus they are one year older).HF loses to a below average Lumberon team, but they are going to kick EC's arse...LOL

We beat them last year, with our worse team since the late 90's/early 2000's. HF might have improved, but no way they have improved more than EC. EC's defense is well coached, and is more athletic then HF's offense. This defense has size and speed.

Not so fast my friend

I know EC is not what we were, but we are a lot better than last season. This week will be a good test to see where we are at, we are still a very young team.

I agree, EC's defense is much improved from last season!

This game will mean a lot to both our communities, the EC and HF communities have reached out and helped each other through this storm. This storm has brought our communities together, and I can't wait for next weeks competition. EC is coming off a 28-0 win over Kirbyville, while HF is coming off a 44-32 loss to Lumberton. Who take the 2017 Rice Bowl, and bragging rights at the Rice Festial! EC 21 HF 7

Football is back in Winnie!

Heard they struggled in the Hardin, Kountze scrimmage...

Getting closer to game day, crazy the difference a year or two makes. This was one of the biggest games in SETX a couple years ago.

After battling for a few years, last year's realignment they did not play. Who wins next week in Winnie, 7:30pm.

Looks to be about the size of East Chambers, maybe bigger on the vistor's side. Not for sure, the new field house looks like it is going to nice.

Coach Speights said that the school is aiming for the stadium to be finished by the end of September. From what I saw the other day, weather is going to have to help for them to accomplish that.

Prayers sent to the young man and his family, from Winnie!

Did not realize he was the ESPN Top QB for 2019. Congrats!

He's not going anywhere. He is happy right where he is at.!

They are all three still at HJ, and will be.

Is this the blonde kid? Going to be sophomore?

Doesn't this topic come up every year lol
