I like statistics. Especially when looking at matchups. The big problem at this point is the sample size. Needville looks better on paper but that is certainly not the whole story. It's only two games in and I don't think there is much to take away from the season for either of these teams so far. Needville has a better record but Huffman had better opponents. Strictly on bias alone.... Huffman 28 - Needville 24

Game Information Huffman Hargrave (1-1) @ Needville (2-0) Stadium Address - Blue Jay Stadium | 16319 Hwy 36 | Needville, Texas 77461 Date/Time - 09/09 7:30PM Tickets - $8 at the gate. (No online sales that I could find. Needville's homecoming and the district only has a few tickets left at the HS for pickup.) Stream - NFHS Network (couldn't find on TexanLive.com)

Silsbee didn't "expose" Huffman. Nothing surprising happened Friday. Silsbee is a good team and is better than Huffman. That was the story before the game and certainly after. Everybody that has been watching Huffman knows this team is not as good as the teams in the last few years. There is still some talent in a few spots but there aren't any "shockers" with 1-1. I would be happy with 2-1 after this week and not shocked if its 1-2. I'd pump the brakes on the new head coach getting run out of town based on the play so far.

From just a user perspective of a single game, If I have the pass yards / rush yards for both offenses, the defense allowed data is just the inverse. Cumulative data can be captured and then sliced as needed. Avg passing yards per game, Turnovers +/- data, etc. There are already resources that do some of this but it is inconsistent at the HS level.

Just out of curiosity, what are the 3-5 stats that would be most important to readers here? I am thinking: Offensive yards total. Turnovers. First downs. TFL - Sacks. Yards per carry. I know a lot of people would be interested in personal stats but that is a little harder to gather quickly. Things that a regular fan of HS Football would like to see the most at the end of a game?

Defense did not do any better than Vidor. Tackling…better. But Silsbee was way better than Legacy. Offense couldn’t handle the front 7. Silsbee looked great. Penalties but still a great team.

No, I didn’t explain. The announcer at the game had his mic on between plays. Could hear him chatting, nothing bad. I do a lot of online meetings and I get (unreasonably) anxious when someone leaves a mic on at a break. It’s just a weird thing I have. announcers at the game were great, I was just whining.

This hot mic for the Silsbee announcer is stressing me out.

Offense just threw 3 incomplete. Punting 28-7. 7:55 in 3rd

HH QB just fired a missile into the refs face over the middle.

3 and out. 4th and 10 for Silsbee on HH 46. Showing punt.

Oh wow. Huffman defense had a good play there. Got penetration and tackled.

I almost did too. Good bomb.

28-7

Huffman scores. TD pass to Wilkins.

Aha.

Did Silsbee do Homecoming King before game? Just The ladies being presented at the half.

Oh absolutely. I don’t think anybody should ever do it. I’m a Father of a band kid myself. Just curious if the halftime stuff (not the homecoming tonight, that’s a special thing) is tradition or actually a UIL thing.

So, just sulking during the half. Thinking. I would never say it’s a good idea and a total jerk move, but…can a hosting school just say “sorry opponents band, we don’t allow the opponent band on our field.” is there a UIL requirement to allow the opponent band to perform at the half. (don’t attack me, just thinking out loud. And I think it is a horrible idea and nobody would do it.)

Thanks.

Good return. Silsbee gets the ball on HH 14

3 and out. Huffman punting from their endzone.

Silsbee has a 4th down. Fast. Punting.

Loose ball. Big hit in qb. Silsbee recovers.
