If you want a glimpse of the future of Woodville football you have to go back and watch the film of the playoff games against Cameron yoe, Rockdale, Grandview and Hitchcock. Woodville has had some amazing talent with more size and speed than what they have now. Franklin and Newton are good teams but not what they were.
What makes you think they are not what they were based off week 1-3....

I think they snuck a back or something out the backfield once or twice. They're like 90 percent run though.
And it's work 35 straight times... all I used to hear about was how Franklin would never win state just running the ball. 3 straight trips to Dallas 4 in the last 8 years with 2 state titles and only 8 yes 8 passing yards in the last 2 championship games. If it's not broke don't fix it. We may lose this game to a team a class up who imo should still be in the top 10. But its only gonna make us better in the long run. These seniors have played some really good ball clubs over the years from Canadian, Gunter, Lorena, Brock, Columbus ect. They will not back down from a challenge or lay down for anyone. I expect this to be another great game at Hedrick field.

Give me Jasper 28-17. Franklin has no passing game and Jasper's D-line/Linebacker core will keep the Lions running game in check!
Didn't Franklin score a passing td against Woodville. I believe they had over 100 yards passing against Woodville.

As of right now between a 40% and 60% chance of rain friday.

Last home loss 9/11/2020 with half the team out with covid. Both teams are full of studs. I believe it will be a good game and low scoring. I will always take my lions and coaching staff in big games.

This will be a big game and I expect to see the stands packed

I don't think yall had much competition week 2. Diboll and Jasper will be interesting. I think yall will split those games with Jasper ending yalls winning streak
Mexia was still a playoff team last season. And we didn't hurt ourselves with fumbles or bad snaps

They very well could. It's hard to win in Franklin. Last loss in Franklin was in 2020 with half the team out with covid.

Been meaning to do this but had a family member being in the hospital but now since I have some time I can tell you guys my rankings and thoughts. So with that being said let's get started with my first pick:
1. Woodville - As I stated in another thread before they have played 2 teams that are state ranked and perennial playoff contenders and played them close both match ups. They will be fine for the rest of the season as the schedule gets easier with next weeks game against Liberty (Only thing I would have to ask myself is Newton is better than Franklin right now because of the score differential but we won't know because of the different classification they're in and hope Franklin keeps scheduling teams out here in Southeast Texas in pre-district).
2. Coldspring-Oakhurst - In the first game of the season I realized that our secondary has improved drastically from last year I think 3 picks against Liberty but I also noticed that the past 2 games the Trojans are not really a good second half team as they will do most of the damage in the first half and get too laxed after that once they put up a comfortable lead. It could be that the defense may be tired or what but next week will be the hardest game outside of Woodville we should have all season in the Longhorns but this time this will be at our house. I do have the Longhorns winning this one but I think we will hang with them better than last season at our house.
3. Palestine Westwood - They blew out 2 teams so far and if the stories I keep hearing about their QB is true then this team is going to make some noise and put the whole district on notice. This is my dark horse pick to win district.
4. Diboll - No knock on the Lumberjacks but this is a completely different team than last season but when district competition rolls around expect them to compete as I feel every team outside of Huntington and Crockett has been better than last year.
5. Shepherd - I had the Pirates either securing the 3rd or 4th slot in district but the loss to Tarkington changes that. The Longhorns are much improved so I expect them to get a playoff spot in that district. But don't count out Shepherd yet because the RB is the trust over there. I expect a win next week providing that the team can correct the mistakes in the Tarkington game.
6. Crockett - This teams is very young and against a state champ in Mart the week before showed that. Last week game didn't do much for them either and I expect for them to be bottom dwellers of the district this season.
7. Huntington - Well the team speaks for themselves but they have played spoilers before in this district and they can do it again.
I'll will try to keep this updated every week so stay tuned as I stated that these are my personal opinions on each time regardless of fact or opinion.
Franklin had 6 total fumbles and 4 lost fumbles. So yes the scores was close between Franklin and Woodville. Can't really read in to first game of the the season. Franklin had 0 turnovers the next game while Woodville seemed to turn it over to Newton. Woodville played pretty much a perfect game against Franklin and still lost while having around 3 turnovers against Newton. If Woodville played Newton as well as they did against Franklin then they would have beat Newton imo. Had Franklin not turned it over 4 times it could have very well been a 21 point game. Franklin had almost 600 yards of offense with pretty much a new O-line playing their first varsity game. But what if's don't matter and these games are in the past. I don't think people realize how bad Franklin played week 1 and still won. It was the worst game they have played in the past 4 years hands down. I'm not saying Woodville is a bad team because they aren't but I have always heard you see what a team is made of from week 1 to week 2 in improvement. Good Luck to the SETX teams down the road. Look forward to Diboll and Jasper the next 2 weeks. I guess we will see how much we have improved here soon. Diboll always plays against Franklin well. And Jasper seems to be a power house.

Franklin cleaned up a lot amd get win 70-6 over Mexia
Liberty Hill 82 Hutto 80... yes this is the real score

Understood. I was just adding to some clarity to the slightly tainted narrative you were painting rather you realized it or not
I do think Woodville is a good team but I also think Franklin kept Woodville in the game with self inflected plays. Did Woodville force some turnovers... yes but they didn't need any help from Franklin either who was making big mistakes left and right. Maybe we will meet up again down the road when both are better and more polished. After all this was only week 1 with lots of football left. Both will learn and get better from this game.

One of those scoop and scores wasn't "unforced". Infact it wasn't exactly a "scoop n score". It was almost like an interception. Franklin was attempting some type of hb toss or something but our OLB penetrated the backfield, read the play, picked off the toss, and took it to the house. That was a very good defensive play. Not a "unforced turnover". Our LB core is pretty good and has been doing that type of stuff since I've seen them play.
You are correct it was a forced turnover but it was knocked to the ground and picked up for the return. He did not catch it so I called it a scoop and score. No matter how we put it. way to many turnovers kept life and Woodville in the game. Franklin has a target on their backs and we will get the best from everyone. I'm also willing to bet that everyone plays their best game of the season against us.

Franklin had 4 fumbles if I remember correctly but yes that's a lot. 3 were unforced. Of those 3 Woodville got a scoop and score on one, recovered one near the 15 and the offense drove 85 yards down the field in like 5 or 6 plays, and ended up not scoring on the last one. Yes Franklin is obviously a great team to win despite that. Woodville is looking very good too considering there were 1 or 2 key guys from the defense missing.
2 scoop and 2 scores. One was fumbled on the reverse (unforced) and returned for a td and the other was batted backwards that was also a scoop score. I believe we had 5 fumbles 4 ended up turning into points for Woodville. I'm going to go back and rewatch the game if possible

Don't agree with this simply because we started slow last year as well. These early non district games are for fixing mistakes and everyone has only played 3 games at the most. Franklin brought back 5/5 last season and 6/6 this season so they weren't to young last season with less experience as you claim. All I'm going to say is I wouldn't wanna play us week 5.
