personally if one was available, a helmet pic with the logo and the two communities, one family title would have been perfect...branding them like they some "super" team is setting them up for a big fat flop on the face if they go 2-8...ijs

Yeah, that's cliche and boring as hell. 

What to expect when you pick up our football preview on Sunday:

Unrelated, but an important change from last year: If you buy this Sunday's Beaumont Enterprise, you WILL find a copy of our football preview inside. Last year, it was subscriber only.

The season is 10 weeks minimum.  I've seen non-midcounty sadness pics on the cover of the beaumont surprise so I stand on my previous post.......

51 years on the planet

27 in Beaumont

 

Well, that's too bad that's been your experience. 

The four football preview covers I've been a part of have been:

- Devwah Whaley

- West Orange-Stark football

- Sideline contributors (Ozen coach's wife, Vidor trainer, Bridge City cheerleader)

- Beaumont United

So what you need is a BET newspaper, correct?

We've got six feature-length stories in the preview section. All six include minority schools and two are dedicated solely to Beaumont United. Always fighting a losing battle, it seems.

The paper still caters to the Bubble as most media in this area.  So there's that.....  I have an overall distrust of local media anyway #probablyownedbytheSinclairgroup

Glad to know you're a reader.

This is our cover for our preview section, which comes out next Sunday.

Tentative plan is to be at the Butch for St Pius vs. BU. But that's very tentative for a number of reasons...

Thoughts?

The only three SETX teams I included were Newton (No. 1), West Orange-Stark (No.2) and Woodville (No. 10)

It a a new football year.  Maybe your work will surpass from last year.

Well, I encourage you to at least read the Bmt United and Silsbee stories. Think you'll like the focus we put into Bmt United for our football preview section.

Ok, that's why I couldn't find it.

Yep, coming out the 23rd.

Pretty good article.

Appreciate it. Doing one for the Bmt United district that will come out two weeks from today as well.

Here's the District 12-5A-II preview I put together for the Houston Chronicle.

I've got:

1. Crosby

2. Nederland

3. PN-G

4. Barbers Hill

5. Vidor

6. Dayton

7. Santa Fe

8. Baytown Lee

Two most confident picks are Crosby and Baytown Lee. Think Nederland PN-G are capable of winning district and Vidor capable of making the playoffs.

I believe it could be about 3 teams at the top fighting for the DC. I am however having more hope for PNG now due to what I expect to be an awesome O-Line. They look to be mean and very very big across the front. 

Yeah, I think the top three will be close.

I've got:

1. Crosby 

2. Nederland

3. PN-G

Yes it is possible. But it is also possible that Nederland loses to PNG, Crosby, Barbers Hill and always a chance Vidor beats them. I guess my point is our new district may end up in many different ways. 

Yep, I think this is true. For what it's worth, I don't have PN-G winning the district or finishing runner up.

I read the WOS preview. Is Chaka Watson no longer on the team?

Nah. Graduated last year.

Works out pretty well for me.  All the pictures I have of Lil Soulja on the field is NOT in game action,  but before and after games.  

Those work too.

I mean, I do have plenty of Junior pics of that player...  Smh

Send my way and I'll update. You've got my email address.

It's just mind boggling to me that the Beaumont Surprise keeps using player's Sophmore pics that are now seniors....  Smh

You really gotta stop waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
