Loser likely looking at a Rd 1 roadtrip to Lancaster

Just letting you know what she told me when I asked her. I dont think Ashley would lie about it, now she wasn't there and is only as good as the information being given to her but figured I'd at least offer some transparency

I asked Pickle about this one, Apparently there was a power outage in the pressbox and power wasn't cut on until start of the 2nd Qtr...

They are quoting NCAA rules which the UIL uses

I was totally wrong about Lancaster, that team is a force and threat to win the region.... I was kind of right on LaPorte, I thought Berneathy would turn it around maybe have them in the mix for 4th...he's doing more than that!

PVIL officially ceased to exist after 1968 but many ISD's starting closing PVIL schools earlier than that...for example Brownwood closed their seperate HS for black students in like 1961....Daingerfield and Sweeny closed their seperate HS's in 1964 or 1965 if memory serves...some places kept their PVIL school open for another year or two and then merged like in 1970...Marshall and Lufkin I believe were like that.....then you have places like Beaumont who kept them open longer....Dallas Madison, Dallas Lincoln, Houston Yates, Houston Worthing, Houston Wheatley are PVIL schools still in operation today...so things vary greatly

That's true but you also have to balance that take with only one team made the playoffs until 1980....so there's a trade off that when looking at it neutrally has to be accounted for.....

You did mention the Aledo coach though and they've never been in 6A either though

Sometimes its harder to win at small schools because the talents can ebb and flow something fierce...Gordon Wood and GA Moore never coached at the highest level but I think both sit on the Mt Rushmore of TXHSFB Coaches for sure...especially Wood who did it for an incredibly long time and in an area when only one team made the playoffs....Wood would have probably racked up well over 450 wins if he didnt miss the bulk of 3 seasons due to military service in WWII and there were several years his teams were really, really good but finished 2nd in district and missed the playoffs 1951: 9-1 1954: 9-1 1957: 8-2 1961: 8-1-1 1963: 8-2 1966: 8-2 1973: 9-1 1975: 8-2 Eight seasons of eight wins and not making the playoffs...gotta think a few playoff wins woulda happened in those years

HC son becomes QB...sling it all around! Winnsboro was Slot-T in 2021....they listed the scheme as Wing-T in 2022....need to find some highlights to see if they are actually Wing-T or if they are spread

Buchanan at Aledo is probably already up there in Gordon Wood, GA Moore territory....267 wins and 7 titles is incredible...the 4 years he was AD Aledo from 2014-2018, Aledo went 75-4 w/3 titles....got to wonder if he added those 75 wins and 3 titles to the resume if he'd be considered the best of all-time to this point we are talking 342 wins and 10 state titles going into this season If Surratt stays at Carthage long enough he'll be in the talks....189-29 fifteen years in and 8/8 in state title games....he's probably gonna get to 200 this year and they are the favorites to win number nine this season

Southlake was a program in decline at his arrival and they were about to jump from 4A-5A so he does deserve some credit in how he built Carroll back up and doing it while transitioning to the largest classification. Another thing people dont realize is his two years at Fossil Ridge are underrated...he got there the school was in its third year of existence and had won just two games...he does 2-7 and 5-5 there and put some foundations in place to set them up to go 8-4 the year he left and then they made the semifinals...those seniors on that semifinal credit a lot of what was built to Dodge.. There's no doubt that Dodge's career is a bit of a roller coaster, but he did more building than he gets credit for also....

Southlake had won in the 90s but they had hit a lull before Dodge got there...the 5 years before Dodge arrived Carroll was 10-1, 3-6-1, 7-5, 12-2, 6-4.....not terrible but not Carroll....he got to Carroll and switched them from wishbone to spread and then guided them from old 4A to 5A winning state his third year...so he did kind of build Carroll in a way

Journalism (well at least sports journalism has changed) because newspapers were slow to adapt to the digital world, that combined with massively reduced revenue streams have forced most small papers out of business and bigger papers to get swallowed up by corporate congolomerates who slash the budgets even more.....what really killed the newspaper was the loss of classified ad revenue...when that stuff went onlint to Craig's List etc...its absolutely gutted a massive revenue stream for newspapers and they never adapted/recovered

They've been around for about 8 years now

Very few newspapers have that level of individual stat availability across the state....only ones I see who consistently have it are the Dallas Morning News and the San Antonio Express-News

La Porte as I thought is rapidly improving under Berneathy

Playoffs are a little different Bally has first rights to everything then NFHS/TexanLive have 2nd rights...if neither entity can do the game then rights are sold out to others

One example is Allen, they dont allow broadcasts at their home game so last year when Atascocita played there or when CE King played this year we could not do their game

Correct in the regular season its about which ISDs contract with us

The Woodlands didn't look all that great against Houston Lamar and for three quarters couldn't put Oak Ridge away...Both Lamar and Oak Ridge are....decent at best

I'll say this about 4A D2 its deeper than its been in recent years...there's several really good teams not ranked at the moment
