After seeing the scrimmage yesterday I can see Nederland finishing at least 2nd in district. 

After seeing the scrimmage yesterday I can see Nederland finishing at least 2nd in district. 

Silsbee - 34
The Boy Wonders - 24

1. Crosby - On paper we won't have the high end talent of years past but as a Crosby fan you almost have to be giddy over the depth and pure athleticism the Cougars will put on the field. Two biggest question marks will be how the new DC covers up some of the size deficiency we have on the d-line and if Martin/Clay can supplement what we lost in the run game with Williams' graduation? Passing game should be even better than last year with the addition of Doucett. Crosby gets what might be their toughest test of the season right out of the box against New Caney who probably has the best secondary in the entire Houston area and will be the most athletic team on Crosby's schedule besides Manvel.
2. Barbers Hill - BH still has issues with physicality and speed. I'm picking them second because there isn't much of either in this district. I'm not a big believer in t-shirt football but BH's transfer qb carved PNG up during their 7 on 7 match in Crosby earlier this summer. He's a little thicker and mobility definitely won't be his strong suit but he can spin it, he should be BH's best signal caller since Kaleb Denny. If BH finishes any lower than 3rd in this district after missing the playoffs all together last year I think BH fans have to start asking how long "the process"  is really  going to take under TW?
3. Nederland - In a district that will be a week to week grind, Ned might just be the best grinder in the district. Without Latulas I really don't see Ned being able to score enough points to be a factor. However, they always seems to have just enough defense to salvage their season and make the most of it. I'm picking them 3rd simply because I think they'll beat PNG in MCM.
4. PNG - I'm picking them 4th because it's RJ, a lineman and nothing else. To call Crosby's 2017 defense trash would be a compliment, them Indians were right there with us though. Crosby got a new DC, brought back 8 starters from a young defense and added a couple of free agents to bolster the depth. I think PNG's plan for fixing their defense is just hoping RJ doesn't get hurt. Kid will probably end his high school career with close to 800 career carries, that's insane. That being said, you always have a chance with #2 back there pulling the trigger.
5. Dayton - To be honest I'm probably just putting Dayton here in the hopes that fans will start coming to their games again. Otherwise, Dayton's good 'ole boy network might finally get tired of watching them get handled by their traditional opponents during this alignment. Love Santee toting the mail but what happened to all those receivers Dayton used to grow on trees? On top of that, the Broncos had an even worse defense than PNG and Crosby and didn't look to have any reinforcement coming. Dayton is the true wildcard of the district, I think they can finish anywhere from 3rd to 7th.
6. Vidor - Four of the five teams mentioned above are just going to line up and throw it around the yard . . . while Vidor is still trying to figure out what a forward pass is, how to complete one and how to cover one. The Pirates have the type offense that can befuddle teams but I think pretty much everybody above(Dayton?)  has seen enough of it to mitigate any real problems it might cause. I just think the boys from the Boneyard will run out of gas covering go routes all district long. It's one thing to get hyped up for a bi-district playoff game, it's another to play those games every other week. Matthews just never changes anything, I think BH has shown change isn't necessarily a bad thing?   
7. Santa Fe - I hope people realize this isn't your mom's green Indians? If you get caught sleeping at the wheel you will get beat. Howard or Johnson should win the district MVP with the other being the fist team all-district qb. Kruger will be the second team all-district qb though. Santa Fe has good size on the offensive line and rather decent receivers for an average talent 5A squad. They too struggle on defense but they've also been in a district with Manvel and FB Marshall the last couple of years. To put it in perspective, they missed the playoffs because of a 7 point loss(48-41) to Texas City in a game they probably should've won.
8. Baytown Lee - I think Kiki Davis would probably lead the district in rushing this year if he didn't play for Lee. Woosley is an athlete at qb position and likely an FBS caliber talent but he also plays in GCCISD. Before we reach the halfway mark in the season Lee fans will probably be more interested in futbol than football, for whatever reason nobody in Baytown can get it figured out. Sucks for town that's just waiting for someone to get behind but with Baytown's studs starting to transfer to Crosby and La Porte if might get worse before it gets better.      

Actually I spoke with the folks at FSW, it's all about #4 state ranked Silsbee.

So shug's playing all RB positions? 

No matter how this new United coaching job unfolds, I'll support him/her to the utmost. I wonder if others will, seeing that there's certain feelings about a young coach that decided to move on.  (good for him, BTW).  Wonder if that same energy used as well as talking up other area teams (and players) will be used to make United High basketball and the New United Head coach the best they can be... Only time will tell, I guess...

Thanks for bringing sense to the forum.

Hahaha

Port Arthur's jv would have made the playoffs and beat the brakes off Nederland. They would have given Ozen and Central a decent game. Nederland ain't beating Memorial next season. 

Team Lumberton Memorial PNG Central Livingston Vidor Nederland Ozen

Yes but just keeping hope that kicking like that wasn't his final call.

I just hope since he's a former kicker he will stay away from the stupid pooch kick.

Should be Ladia

By the way, no one a following quite like them Titans! Those fans were in tune with the game, and were LOUD!!!

If Todd Peterman applied for United, I'd have to imagine he applied at PA Memorial. I think he'd be a great fit there.

Pam up 50-31 3:47 left in 3rd

It was my opinion that Kenny would have probably left PAM earlier if not for his son being in high school when he was. I will say, I give the school board and school district credit for sticking with him through that rough two-season stretch right at the end of them being in 6A.
Whoever gets the job next will have a ton of talent and a heck of a fan base lol

Central 53 PNG 40
#21 for Central should be defensive player of the year! She plays some dang good defense.

I've seen 17 seniors with offers.

It’s not Silsbee coaches job to not embarrass a team, It is HF coaches job to teach his team how to play defense so that they don’t get embarrassed! If the HF boys got embarrassed, hopefully it taught them a lesson to put in some extra work in the off-season like the Silsbee boys do. They are High School kids, don’t think it will ruin the rest of their lives. That is part of the every kid gets a trophy mentality. They lost got their butts kicked, get over it, work harder and come back next year and take your best shot.

Way to leave it all on the floor against a quality state ranked #4 team...
