Silsbee was in a good pool...my guess is after losing the Bay City game in double OT they werent super interested in the Iowa Colony game....also Iowa Colony is gonna be really, really good

Saturday scores updated

Friday scores posted, Saturday scores will be added this afternoon [Hidden Content]

Forgot about Hamshire-Fannett they are also in action and qualified tonight at the Hitchcock SQT

Willis is barely over 50....I could tell when he originally retired that he wasn't done....he's got a lot of fire and energy left....he's well thought of by many in Tyler, it didnt work out there mainly because IMO of how the district operates athletics.....2023 is probably going to be tough, but I think it was likely going to be tough if Prieto stayed as well...

Willis is official [Hidden Content]

I dont think Jasper is ready to challenge Silsbee...but I dont see any reason why they can't finish 2nd in district this year and be a top ten type team in 4A-D2....they have the pieces IMO

There it is...and I'm picking Silsbee to qualify lol

He played every time I saw them last year...but you never know he could be playing basketball, could be on a visit but he seems committed to his team so I imagine if he doesnt have something else going on he'll be there

Silsbee will be at West Columbia, pools below [Hidden Content] Bridge City will be out at Wimberley, pools below [Hidden Content]

Or you pulled an image from an article from 2021 [Hidden Content]

its unfortunate and both will probably have a hard time finding a game at this stage...especially Jasper considering how strong they are projected to be

The coaches I've talked to that have 4-day weeks have had no issue with being off Friday.....kids get to school around lunch, usually they eat lunch, watch a little film, do a quick walk-thru and then get on the bus

I talked to an officiating buddy and he doesnt believe this will be a thing in TXHSFB

Should get the first look at Silsbee in the May 20 7on7 Qualifier at West Columbia..really good field of teams scheduled to be at that one

The Saturday Crosby vs La Porte game will be a 1pm kick

If you are a subscriber to DCTF and need a TXHFSB fix here's this month's podcast from Tepper and myself [Hidden Content]

yes there's so much that goes into it....its always a good question though because of the variance you'll rarely get the same answer twice

I think it varies by Coach, I've asked ten coaches this question and I get ten different answers....a lot just depends on where your program is at that time...for example teams like North Shore and Duncanville will play just about anyone willing to play them If you are in a nine or ten team district and you move into district play quick you may want to try and get specific looks or systems based on those early non-district games that are crucial If your program is down in the dumps you are probably just trying to find games you can be competitve in that maybe you can steal a win If you are middle of the road to good you probably try and split your schedule...one really tough game, one game where you feel good about a win and one game thats maybe a coin flip... If you are in a four or five team district that 5th and 6th non-district games are pretty much just seeing who else is in a small district and pairing up...thats how Brownsville Hanna and Amarillo Tascosa played a few years ago lol

It's the off-season there's not much else to discuss football wise...

I think yesterday's incident just underscores one of many issues with the Alamodome when it comes to state football..its not a super well-taken care of facility, there's a lot of work that needs to be done....San Antonio will put the work into the facility in time for the 2025 Final Four...much like in 2018, but then they won't do anything after that and 4-5 yrs post Final Four you have a facility that has degraded...rinse and repeat w/San Antonio lol Maybe now that they have an XFL team the city will do a better job maintaining the 'Dome between big events

Honestly what other facility could guarantee the UIL back-to-back weekend availability and is large enough to host the event??

It would put I think the venue would hold up.....this is just one example of the Alamodome just not being up to par as a facility right now
