In honor of game day I think it would be a great time to hear some good ole SETX football talk!..... The only two things that are certain in this district are the 1st and 7th (last) place spots. WOODVILLE (2-1) - Boy oh Boy... I am pretty sure they are the clear favorites in this district. They have the size, the speed, the experience, and the offense to roll through this district. They played a very competitive pre district schedule! They are battle tested and should blow through everyone in the district. Tonight they open district play against Warren and should win this game by 50+.... Now, will they live up to their potential and make a DEEP playoff run??? Coldspring (0-2) - Do not let their record fool you! They lost to a pretty good Shepard team by 10 and a pretty good Liberty team by 14. I am still unsure what to think about the trojans because of their dominate history. I think we will be able to judge them better after tonight's game against a below average crockett team. I think they beat crockett tonight bye 3 TD + . Will this team be able to continue their success in this district and be able to win games led by a freshman RB? We shall see.....But for now, this team gets my vote for 2nd place in district. NOW THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING (3rd-6th Place) Buna (2-0) - Now, they are 2-0 but they beat a not so good team Anahuac by 8 points and a below average HF team by 20. Buna came into the season as a underdog because of the amount of Sr's they lost. I know they are pretty young and not very experienced. But there is something about Buna that sparks my vote for the 3rd place spot. The offense they run is old school smash mouth football. They run very few amount of plays but they perfect them. Will their young line be able to handle the grind for 6 district games and can they stay healthy? Can the younger Connell kid lead a football team to another playoff spot? Can their defense contain all the speed in this district? I say YES and they start it off by beating a Trinity team that is down, but definitely not out.... Buna 28- Trinity 13 Kirbyville (1-2) - KIRBYVILLE... The KIRBYVILLE getting 4th spot? All the talk says that this is a down year for Kirbyville. Every is saying it even their own fans on this website. The thing that scares me about giving them the benefit of the doubt is the 28-0 thumping they took against an average EC team. That one has me worried about this pick. But one thing I know about Kirbyville is they come to PLAY! I heard they have made some changes on the offensive side of the ball and they look better in that system. I know their defense is always tough and plays hard but will they be able to score on teams? They have a HUGE game tonight against the Kountze Lions that could determine this very spot. I say Kirbyville takes the lead in the 4th and wins the game 27-22 against Kountze tonight. I believe this game will tell us all a lot about each time. Kountze (1-1) - Hmm... The basketball capital of Texas. Oh, this is football? I am hearing good things about Kountze and then hearing bad things about Kountze. I actually got to see them scrimmage against Hardin and HF and was actually impressed with the defense. Which is backwards from what is typical for the Lions. Usually they have a couple of kids that can run really fast and keep them in the game for a quarter or 2 but they can never stop anyone. They lost to a not very good Corrigan team and they beat a very bad HD team with their whole team sitting out apparently (HD). They held HD to 6 but gave up 47 against Corrigan? Which Kountze team will show up? Also, their backfield is pretty good with nice speed and size, but the offensive line are smaller than the backs. Can Kountze finally put together a solid team and compete for a playoff spot again?? I say YES they will compete but will come up short, starting with a loss tonight to Kirbyville 27-22. Trinity ( 0-4) - Like everyone, I see that record and do a double take. Trinity has athletes. Everyone knows that! They played 4 decent teams other than Crockett, and lost all 4 games. Played 2 close games and got blown out twice. I would say they had a solid pre district schedule and should be ready for district play. I wonder if they will be able to replace their stud RB from last year who is playing college ball somewhere (I forgot). He was good!! I am sure they will be fast and tough but I just do not see how they lose to a crockett team that would probably finish on the lower end of this district IMO. Again, this team could surprise the crap out of me, but as of now, I can see Trinity have a 1-9 season with it's only win against Warren. Maybe they prove me wrong and come up with a playoff spot? Who knows? Their 1st district game is tonight against the Buna Cougars where I think could be a decent matchup but I have Buna coming out on top 28-13. Warren (0-3) - Not much to say here! Blown out by HARDIN, blown out by EVADALE, lost to a weak Tarkington... Warren will for sure go 0-9 and might compete with...nevermind I just don't see it. No disrespect, just honesty and they will honesty get their 1st district loss tonight by 50+ against Woodville. This district is always hard to choose but the 1 spot is a LOCK. 2-6 is up in the air IMO with Coldspring being a favorite to grab that #2 spot. I will be able to give a more accurate statement after tonight! Please post your thoughts and predictions!!!

not this year

They are good at what they do. Not necessarily good athletes but very good at what they do.

No I do not know anything about football. I was a waterboy in High School. BUT, I do know that in Texas, you play to win every game. I do not feel like those kids were injured. I believe they were held out to prevent injury and so when they lost to Kountze (Terrible Team) they would have a excuse.

I think some people are hyping kids up on this HD team. The coach made 4 kids sit out to make sure they are ok for district play? Come on now, you play to win. Maybe he held them out to prevent them from getting hurt, wow! With all these STUDS.... HD still barely beat West Hardin. From my understanding, West Hardin is not a powerhouse football team.

Buna 32 Trinity 13

PAM - ALOT (40+) Nederland - Not so Much (13)

Did 99 play against West Hardin? If he did, how many tackles did he have?

Should be a good game. Give me Evadale 27 Hemphill 26

Discipline > Talent

This is one of the "given" games IMO... They should win this one big. Where Lumberton runs into trouble is.... PNG, PAM, Vidor, Nederland...

Good win Raiders!!!

What if this is a "way up" year for Kountze? That goes both ways!

Hopefully the 5 hurt are not starters.

Newton 47 EC -6

Closer than normal, but still the same result

Should be a great game and a very important game for district

What a game! I will say this, Kountze is MUCH improved. They came back and took the lead in the 4th quarter. I think they will be fine in district.

Tried to tell you!

Hmm

Hardin 32 Warren 6

Is Buna this bad?

I think CC beat Kountze by 40 last year. I don't see it being that bad this year but I don't see Kountze being able to win this one.

lol I hear you

Interesting. I could have swore I heard that Kountze wanted to play and got the Lumberton field reserved for Friday around 2 pm and Kelly backed out? But that's just a rumor but I thought I could trust that person.
