[quote name="NDNation" post="1358832" timestamp="1356636951"] Tough preseason for sure, but I think it will give us a look at what to expect in district. I would rather us lose in preseason and adjustments made and roll in district. [/quote] Yes, hopefully having two full scrimmages will help in the evaluation process. Seems we have been late in making personel adjustments the last several years and start out in a whole in the first couple weeks of district.

[/quote] [/quote] You are obviously a newbie to this site and don't know that Smoking Baby is a BH fan that ends every post with Dayton Sux, even when giving them praise. Stick around and you will find out that it is well recieved by the Dayton folks and actually encouraged by most as good natured ribbing from a fan of a rival that has had he!! with Dayton over the years and knows it. So before you MAKE AN ALL CAPS "I'M MADE AS HELL" POST ABOUT IT, do a little research. Welcome to the board...try and drop the all caps...It's very hard to read!

One thing I think a lot of folks forget about the QB situation this past season is that Faircloth and company knew that AJ was not there best option at the postion and made a change. Unfortunately the change got injured and AJ became the only option. AJ Smith wanted to play WR. He knew he would help the team better as a WR if they had someone else that could pull the trigger, but when Walker got hurt he did what was best for the team. I think we all saw a glimpse of what AJ could do as a 6'5" WR with good hands (remember the one handed grab in the 1st Q against Lumberton before Ky got hurt). With Walker at QB, AJ and Rose at WR, I think we could have been much more productive on offense, but we still had trouble running the ball. Hopefully next year the running game will improve. Most of the Oline is returning so we should be improved up front due to experience and if Junior to be Taylor Smith steps in to Reasons spot he will not dissapoint. He is a big strong kid (6'1" 250+ and growing) with quickness and developed a mean streak as the JV season wore on last year. Halfin reminds me of Harmon and Bertrand with good lower body strength and always hits the hole strong and quick and rarely losses yards. The biggest question mark next year will be Defensive Line. Who returns and who steps up? I know Wardlow and #49 return, but we need some beef in there. Could we see some O Linemen move over to that side of the ball with a couple of young O Linemen ready to play? I just hope folks don't get too discouraged if this team starts out 0-3. Silsbee, SC and WOS will be 3 of the top 5 teams in this area next year.

Great point Dayton. I tried to make this point in the OTHER thread. If Brown had those other DBs on his side like Thomas does, he would get more chances. So Beasley had a TCU offer, but he quit so he is not actually a part of the WOS secondary! He don't count. I laugh every time I hear or read a WOS fan make the statement that they would have won if they didn't turn the ball over SIX times. One TO is an accident, SIX is a result of facing a better team. Navasota was the better team. End Of Story. PNG would've beaten WOS this year if they would have played perfect football and the better team (WOS) would have played really bad! How stupid does that sound.

Smitty if you want facts as you put it, then you are wrong. It hasn't been all downhill record wise. 7-4 is a better winning percentage than 8-5...Fact! ;)

Congratulations. How long has HBU been playing football?

Thanks Buddy. TWC in SETX has royally screwed us fans! Is there one person in this area that wants to see the Hornets? Ever? Why not Spurs or Mavs? They need to hook us up with the Comcast Sports channel.

GTown O-Line is the smallest I've seen during these Championship broadcasts.

To be fair to Brown, Thomas and Renfro at WOS had more opportunities to make a play on the ball because Thomas had Renfro and Renfro had Thomas. If you threw the ball against WOS you had to pick on one or the other. Dove you are right on about the camps and recruiting. Kids can wow a coach in camp and gets an offer then becomes a bigtime recruit because of it and garners All State attention because of the recruitment not the stats. Remember Dravanti Johnson. Great Junior season, poor Senior season where he made second team All District by the locals who actually saw him and was named 4A Defensive POY by AP?? Why? Because he was a UT recruit!

That Collins kid can fly and #68 was a man amongst boys. Is he only a Junior? Rattlers defense was best I've seen at any level in a while. Fast,Fast,Fast and swarming! Congrats to the Rattlers, the real "Greatest Show On Turf" ;)

Couldn't scout in that scenario for bi-district round.

We can just squash all of this by making a double dip State Title run between Nederland in DI and PNG in DII with back to backs at Jerryworld! :)

Announcers were wrong. Aledo won 3 state titles not long after moving up from 3A to 4A and they beat Lamarque for one while Lamarque had 3A numbers. Southlake won 4 outta 5 titles begining the year after they moved up from 4A to 5A. Case can be made both ways.

Not sure the WAC will be around next year!

I would suspect with Katy playing followed by local Allen you will see in excess of 50K.

Only 2 of the 4 were 5A last year. GTown and Guyer. Cedar Park and Lancaster have been 4A. Cedar Park probably would have won a couple 4A State Titles had it not been for Lake Travis the past 4 years.

WOW! Yoe is dominating Dangerfield. 21-0 after 1Q. Yoe looks very good and Dangerfield looks very, very bad.

Harrison Tatum started for 3 years. 2 years with Hemmings in backfield then the last with Wright (which was MB's last season).

Why would Permian hire him? Because he was an integral part in turning that Program back into a 5A power back 5-7 years ago. When he and Allman left they went to crap and those folks trust him, just as I trust he will help our kids win again.

I beg to differ Smitty. This past season was bad we will all agree, but his second season the team went three deep and gave a huge Manvel team all they could handle. Third year we lost on the toe of a once in a lifetime kicker. His playoff record is 3-3 (not bad). Also he has had good coaches on staff that have helped to mold solid programs at the Middle Schools, which I think we are starting to see payoff now at the JV and Freshman levels and most of us expect to see on the Varsity level beginning next season.

Doty was only a 2 year starter. He started Faircloths first two seasons, then Miller and Smith for a year each. Tatum was a 3 year starter as was Long.

Yep. Head downtown to eat at Rendevous for the best BBQ on this planet!

Awesome Talent and to finish #2 in his class and graduate early is tremendous.

[quote name="exfactor" post="1356852" timestamp="1355940866"] Morse is 5' 10" and runs a 5.3 40.  Not nearly mobile enough in PNG's offfense. He will be fine when he is a senior. Walker will contribute on defense. That's why Faircloth is playing him both ways. [/quote] I'm 5'10" and a few days ago when I saw Adam Morse he was several inches taller than me! Brennan Doty was outstanding in PNGs offense and he ran a 5+ 40! Have you seen Morse in a game?

Congrats to all. Carranco must not have had as many opportunities this year. If he ain't the best 4A kicker in Texas I'd be shocked.
