Agreed. The district is what it is (SOC deals with this year on and year out and does pretty well in weeks 11 through 16). R3 top teams are Monty, FB Crawford and the two teams playing next Friday night.

Ashworth at WR/H has been a plus as has Gohlke’s accurate passing and slashing running style.

Yep. Hard to beat a good team twice in same season.

Two best teams in R3. Loved the fight. Clean up the pre-snap unforced errors and that third quarter may have been different. Until we meet again Crawford High.

No

I think the explanation of how the name came about is great. Funny actually. This was very poor adult supervision and judgement. Seen it growing up in our neighborhood as well. Glad no one died. Still wanna face SOC at AT&T instead of Bryan TX each year. UIL gotta get this right in 2026.

Did Desoto with its 114 transfers the last three years opt up next year? Turned in 5A numbers.

I’m all for a non-power 5 in the CFP if they roll through their conference easily and beat a couple of ranked non-conference power 5’s. That would make them an actual top 12 team. ND/Ole Miss and UT/Oregon would have been fun to watch.

Good news is the DFW area gained a lot of 5AD2. So the split for them to R1 &R2 looks to have plenty of teams without having to reach down into Houston/BMT areas at all. Is Galena Park really opting up and why???

With this previous 5AD2 Dist 8 R3 prediction that was thrown out last week: PNG Ned Dayton Baytown Lee Texas City Santa Fe Galena Park (opting up) Houston Spring Woods (opting up) I am now fearing PNG Ned stay R2

Those apartments up front at Bent Tree have been PNG since they were built in late 80’s and way before Memorial was even alive. I lived there my sophomore year and went to PNG. Kids i knew there on the other side went to PA.

Right! So Aledo Texas, a town of roughly 5,000 has some of the best homegrown football players in the state year in and year out for 15-20 years. OK. Facts are kids transfer to Aledo from greater FW all the time and it is clearly for athletic purposes but they never have to sit out as the rules would suggest with a transfer for athletic purposes. So I will recant the recruiting statement and say get to play one of those DFW area Transfer Portal juggernauts for which there is plenty of evidence. PA and PNG are not open enrollment and are working without year to year transfers that don’t live in the district. Which to me makes their recent successes more interesting.

I think PAM folks have been agitated over the fact that they beat PNG both years that PNG went to the title game and they didn’t. They poke at PNG fans about PNG not scheduling PAM again and some purple folk can’t take it and say stupid schlitz, but I think most of us would love to play them again if it means another trip to State 🤣. PAM has the speed that SOC has so getting an early game with them probably helped PNG when they got to the SOC matchups. Good Luck to Memorial. They should make it to the title. Then they will find out what it’s like facing one of those DFW recruiting teams in Aledo. And I will be cheering for the Titans in that matchup.

And this was an obvious slap to the face (bottom right #4 slaps #35). [Hidden Content] Neither play was what I would call good sportsmanship.

NCAA Horns down, Gator chop, etc. at a player or opponent sideline is 15 yards. Reason is to keep “KIDS” or young men in case of NCAA from retaliation and causing a melee on field. Tomahawk chop at PNG sideline and at PNG players was regular last night. No place for it in the game. Same as kicking an opponent. Shoulda been flagged, Same as the punch to the head (also on video as I saw it on the broadcast), shoulda been flagged. Guarantee #75 will be dealt with by JJ and it won’t happen again as he is a Jr. Officials must do better across the board to nip it all in the bud early in game. I love when these teams play but I can say that leaving AT&T after 2022 and 2023 was the only time I have ever had opposing fans cuss me as a PNG fan totally unprovoked. We just ignored them and moved on. Was not there last night but in 2024 we were on opposite sides of stadium so no issues. And I don’t care where you’re from, Oak Cliff Texas, Port Neches or Groves Texas, kids need to be held accountable by their parents for their actions in public. All can DO BETTER!
