I was not comparing Anahauc and HJ, I was simply mentioning that Neece's type of offense would fit HJ a lot better than the spread. Kirbyville dropped off tremendously after Neece left, and Anahauc got way better once Neece arrived. He has a great offense and scheme for the smaller, and/or less talented teams. This isn't about Neece, it is about the type of offense that fit's a team like HJ best. The spread simply won't work at HJ and time won't fix HJ. I hope Bass does well as I do not want anyone to fail.

This should be a good game. I think both teams are about evenly matched. Coin flip, but I think the coin lands on WOS for me.

Yall do have a stud softball pitcher. It will be neat watching her pitch in the SEC. Kentucky is usually ranked high every year.

His delirious opinions are comical. He doesn't really believe all that he's saying. He's just bored and stirring the pot. He really does not like the fact that a little team with less than 300 kids in the school can consistently beat up on ALL the local 4A teams that have 600 - 700 kids. There are definitely years that Newton gets beat by these local 4A teams, but it is not often and that leaves a sour taste in his mouth. He just wishes that BC, "a baseball school", could actually compete with the good teams in 4A. It has been a while.

You're acting foolish now. Hypothetically, Newton would at least get 3rd in that district because Newton has already beaten WOS and Jasper. However, Newton would most likely get 2nd that district this year.

Bridge City beat Newton several years back. I don't know how, and it may have been one of those "Newton wins 9 out of 10 times", but it happened that night.

Bridge City. HJ will sadly go 0-10.

Goodness. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. When the local 4A teams in Southeast Texas can consistently beat Newton, then your point may seem a little more valid. However, Newton has completely dominated Silsbee in the past decade and has more wins against WOS in the past decade than any other team (which is 4 wins out of 7 if I'm not mistaken). I'm only stating those two 4A teams because they have been the most consistent and relevant recently. There are several 3A teams that would beat any 4A team in this area nearly year in and year out. You know football and are usually knowledgeable of what is going on, but don't be so salty and get too ahead of yourself now.

Good question. 😂 I am confident in saying the offense they are running is not the one! Maybe they just need some more move-ins from Beaumont. However, I think that if the right offense were in place, then they would have a better fight and would win some games. For instance, an offense ran like Anahauc or how Jack Alverez ran/run's his, then HJ would be a lot better. Neese completely turned Anahauc around with his style of offense and pay calling (ps.. I am not an Anahauc fan, just giving my thoughts). It's not about what offense a coach wants to run, but more about what offense best suits the players to be most successful.

HJ coach should set his pride to the side and get away from their new offense. As much as I hate seeing the bunched-up, 98% run-play type offense, I think it is best for the personnel that is on the field. They would not be getting beat so badly each game and would possibly have a few wins this year. I understand that this is the first year with the coach and offense, but I do not see HJ competing next year either if they keep the same offense with the players that they have.

WOS 35 HF 21 Should be a good game.

He is "HF-Dad"! That tells the story.

Yes. I believe this game determines who will get 3rd and 4th in district. Silsbee and WOS should be first and second.

HF is having a solid year and is better than they usually are. However, Jasper has played a much harder schedule. If HF played Jasper's schedule so far, they would likely be 1-3 or 2-2 at best. I look for this to be a good game tonight.

Let's give Hemphill credit for beating the teams they played. Yes, the (5) teams they played are pretty bad and most being 2A, but Hemphill handled their business. As for their matchup with Newton this year and with Newton clicking on all cylinders, the game probably will not be close. But that is okay, Hemphill is still a decent team and is having a great year.

Hopefully the program is heading in the right direction. Jasper has some really good coaches. With a couple years under Crumedy, I think Jasper will start making long playoff runs. Also, 67 middle school players is impressive. I remember my 8th grade year in Newton which was only 14 years ago; we had (10) players and had to bring up (2) seventh graders just to make a team. However, we did go undefeated. 😂

I agree with you here. That was a great coaching year. Four straight trips to state, then player personnel dropping and supposedly a "rebuilding year", then boom, a 4th round appearance. It was quite impressive.

I know Jasper folks aren't going to like this, but I think Jasper would be better this year with the ole Barbay offense. With Bronson as the DC, I think they are just fine. He's an energetic and defensive guy. However, I just don't think Jasper has the personnel to be a really good spread offense. I have never personally seen HF play, but I believe it will be a good game this year being HF is better than they usually are. I'm still going with Jasper! Go little puppies, go!

Woodville wins! Diboll loses!

Lumberton wins this one.

With the addition of 5 + new WOS players, they just might. 😂 My post was sarcasm. No, LCM will never make it to state on their own.

Coach Peevey will compete for a state title next year with the help of new, fast players. They will be fun to watch. He'll have athletes at LCM like never seen before. I'm just ready to see where all the kids transfer from at the end of the year. I'm glad Newton does not have LCM on their schedule next year.

I'll bet a loaf of bread that WOS wins!

Shaw is worth more, but the coaches may limit him to where he's only valued as that one-point boost we are discussing here. A West Orange-Stark win is priority and more important than the one point. Just be satisfied with the win.

If Shaw were playing this Friday, WOS would win by two points. Since Shaw is not playing, WOS wins this game by one point. This means that Silsbee will lose by one point. WOS gets back on track!
