Offense is better than what has shown. Does this also mean that maybe the Nederland defense is not as good as it has looked for the same reasons? They should be pretty evenly matched, so I will take BH because we have better toys to play with.

I am a Barbers Hill transplant as most of us are and this kinda offends me a little anyway. You say Tradition when you talk about PNG or Nederland like they have always been at the top or even good. Tradition = Heart??? Here are some numbers that I could find. I went 20 years, because I don't know how long tradition is? Nederland 554-376-35 Last 20 years 161-76 PNG 589-345-33 Last 20 years 147-77 BH 577-309-27 Last 20 years 153-65 Crosby 451-418-33 Last 20 years 145-84. Wheres the extra tradition or heart or mindset that you are talking about that yall have east of the trinity? They look like the same programs to me. Crosby is on a roll now, but the last 20 years are not that impressive. Barbers Hill lost a lot last year more than the numbers they lost the leadership of a few that had been starting since their Soph. year. You can't replace that right away. I will take Crosby & Barbers Hill for the next 10 years in all sports

Alex, what is: Words that have never come out of my mouth!!

YES

Lets go thru these!! 1st game - OK good point.- 2 Defensive starters out- could of had 13 out there on the field with that effort and the results would of been the same. Starting RB out - Whats new. New QB not on point - Thats a understatement and he slid to avoid contact in a game that they were losing, enough said. #4 caught the only TD always full effort. #1 I need a little help hear as to why we are mentioning him? I must of been watching the cheerleaders thinking that maybe Mathew would be a better LB than what is out there when this happened. Faith in the coaching staff or HC - HC 1st year - took a talented team to a 1st round loss 2nd year - took a defense that kept him in every game to a no playoff season 3rd year - I have lived here for 15 years and this AFTER 1 game is the worst looking team I have seen. NOW lets go to Tradenup BH - BH still playing hard - Maybe I was at the wrong game because the game I attended this never happened. Just come on here and tell it like it is no sugar coating. THAT SUCKED

Yes, they have the best D Coordinator in the distract and he may get the D rolling by mid district, but it will be a slow start. He lost 8 starters and 5 of the front 6 that was as good as anyone had last year. This year the offense may have to get them in the playoffs instead of being the reason they missed it.

That ruling posted was on a play where the ump warned a player for his fake tag. That bottom section should of been left out. There is ALWAYS a base awarded on a fake tag is the correct answer. The umpire made the right call if a fake tag was made.

Without opening the can and asking how you know what was said or done... The NFHS says a fake tag, which is the act of a defensive player without the ball simulating a tag actually on an offensive player, is always considered obstruction. A base is always awarded for a fake tag. Furthermore, for this infraction like many others in NF rules, the umpire must issue a team warning. Another member of that team who commits the same infraction must be ejected. Based on what you saying happened, and given NFHS rules/casebook/guidance, the BU did not enforce the rule properly since he/she obviously judged that a fake tag occurred and NFHS has a penalty for that infraction. (Chalk it up to preventive officiating...)
