HJ by 30

When we played them, I didn't notice anyone making a significant impact at WR. 
Now, in the second half they changed a couple positions around and just ran the ball with their athletes. Mostly designed QB keepers.  I'm not sure what #25 Taylor's position is, but all he did was run the ball in the second half. Almost no passing.

Aren't Giddings' best two players at WR though? Do you think they would try some trickery and use these guys on the ground?

From what I have seen. They are just trying too get 12 involved more in the O. Boy got some wheels and moves. He's a gamer imo.

Luv it. I'm with you on that one. I've watched numerous teams.and it's not there fault they put up the numbers they have.east texas to Dallas. Same format if u can score 100 stop me !! And at the same time none of these teams really have a great defense. ND I really believe this game will b closer then ppl think.and I know that team w.o has will be challenged. Maybe giddings,navarro,gilmer,cuero but unless for some unseen reason w.o gets the big head.i can't see any of them beating them.so I think at the end of the day all of our setx teams will give them schools all they can handle! !

From the film I've seen from the Giddings-Connally game, it looks like Giddings didn't really have control until the second half. Without the two kickoff returns, that game would be completely different. Giddings has some  good backs and receivers but I haven't seen anything special. I've been told that two of their receivers are committed to D1 schools (one of them was Tech and I can't remember what the other one was) but there's virtually no film of them doing anything besides catching open passes. I'm not trying to belittle a team who does have some impressive wins and is probably better than film shows, but this one could be a lot closer than people think. We'll see on Friday. 

To clarify drewlsu's post:
If HJ wins they will represent the district as the third place team. If they lose they will be out of the playoffs.
If HF wins they will represent the district as the fourth place team. If they lose they will be out of the playoffs.

Rerminds me of the speech on "Billy Madison"

This has been the most confusing district in SETX this year, and it's only a 5 team district

They also lost to Liberty who HJ beat.  3 way tie with split head to heads.  But if it was just HJ and OF tied, head to head would decide obviously.  

You didn't put in the scenario if Liberty beats WOS...
 
lol!! I'm sorry.. couldn't even type it with a straight face.

Very interesting thread for the Blitz game of the week..

Pathetic.  If he was my son, I'd wore a belt out on his rear.

I went to this game the other day. I pull for Liberty, but like to sit on the visiting side (better food and typically better seats). Anyway, I sat up next an old coach who was a pleasure to visit with. I never got his name, but his son is a coach on the HJ staff and he coached the 1985 Electra team that won the state title.
In my opinion, HJ won that game due to some great coaching. HJ basically wanted to wear Liberty down and was hoping for a few turnovers. It felt like HJ had the ball the entire game. They got more than a few turnovers and their last couple of possessions Liberty was just too tired to stop them. On the other side, I am unsure what Liberty was thinking on offense. Honestly, they had 0 reason to throw the ball and basically gave it way a few times whether that was through throwing an INT or killing their own drives. I think the Liberty coaches were trying to force the passing game when they didn't need too. That coach and I were wondering why Liberty wouldn't just keep running the trap. Seemed like they got 5 yards all night on it. Needless to say, it was a fantastic game and great display of coaching and determination from HJ. Their kids were ready to play and though they seemed undersized and a bit less athletic they were the better team that night. They had a great plan and executed it to near perfection. Also, if their field goal kicker would have been playing for the Arizona Cardinals or the Seattle Seahawks he would have saved us all some time back on our lives from that Sunday night snooze fest of missed field goals.
Once again, just one man's opinion, but that's how I saw it. I would be interesting in watching these teams play again in the playoffs. I am unsure how the bracket would line up because if WOS is between them playing again that won't happen, but I think it would be another close well fought game.
