I agree. Dallas area 5A is head and shoulders above Houston Area right now. Aledo, Frisco Reedy, Highland Park, Frisco Lone Star just to name a few. But...Houston area 6A is right there with DFW. NS, Katy, CyFair, Cy Falls, Woodlands, Pearland, West Brook, Westfield, Atascosita...

PNG has had excellent offenses with QB’s like Doty, Miller, Walker, Morse and of course Shug and Bost will fit the bill and continue that string (skill set more like the first four mentioned of course). WR’s like Deron, Jalali, Nelson, Rose, Sparks, Giblin, McZeal, Riggs, etc. Wenschuel returns as does Proenza and several Sophomores that saw time. Been missing the backs like Harmon, Bertrand and Halfin, but Conner showed flashes last year in limited action and Deslate runs tuff when healthy. I think the Barnett kid that played QB on JV when Bost was up could also be an option in backfield. He is stout and runs hard. Can also wing it if needed. OLine returns and are big, but gotta be more physical and quicker. Another year of offseason work can bring it. Cohesiveness should be a plus. Defense is where the 2019 Indians will be most improved. Sophomore group moving up from JV have been very good defensively. LB’s all return. 2019 Indians will once again compete for the DC. Do I see them getting past FBM with all they have returning...No, but a top two district finish and another run to round three is a real possibility.

If your superstar can’t crack the lineup at super power 6A Allen, you move to a P.O. Box in Southlake. If he can’t get on the field for 6A Carroll High, you move west to 5A D2 Aledo. And if your superstar is filthy rich you buy a million dollar mailbox in 5A D1 Highland Park (always the largest school in 5A, but ironically never over the 6A line...hmmmm).

1. Most states don’t have the total number of teams we have. 2. Most states don’t send 4 tesms to playoffs. 3. Some states like California, only do sectional champions. Thing I dislike about these “National Championship” rankings is that most of the schools on the list are private schools that recruit. That is one of the reasons for lack of interest in most states. Playing for your hometown on Friday nights still means something in Texas. Keeps alot of kids out of trouble and in school.

Good Luck Bruins. Make SETX football fans proud.

Nederland didn’t play FB Marshall

Crazy ain’t it. I think it’s because he played at the 4A D2 level. Fact is he’d dominate at 6A. He is a freakish athlete indeed.

Wow. Should be a boost to Alvin CC. More Houston area players available.

I think the Ref stated it incorrectly. Flag was for lining up over the Center on FG. Newton lined up thinking Canadian was going for it, but Canadian ran out FG kicker quickly. Thus Newton was lined up over Center. Ref said leverage. Otherwise it was a BS call

I think Bama, USC, ND & OSU. USC because they want to draw in the West Coast viewers. ND because they’re ND. Bama because they’re probably the only team in that scenario that is 100% deserving (SEC). Either OSU or Texas because of Money. OSU (East coast media bias).

Hypothetically: Say next year the following go undefeated, Who gets in CFP? USC (PAC 12) UT (Big 12) OSU (B1G) Alabama (SEC) Clemson (ACC) Notre Dame (Indy) and I am aware USC and ND play each other each year hence the “hypothetical”.

#62 Slone Schultz should be game MVP. Kid has been all over the place!

Mason front 7 against Marts speed. Interesting

Purple rules on Thursday. Can Newton make it a clean sweep?

No 6A team will win a State Title with an offense that completes 2 to 3 passes a game. Offense can neutralize two or three exceptional defenders, but not a team full of defensive playmakers like you see later in 6A and even 5A playoffs. Now a team that can complete a very high percentage of it’s passes (80%+) and throws 10 to 15 passes a game could be a force at the higher levels. Just don’t see it usually because no QB with that kind of skill wants to go to a school running that offense, when he can go run a spread option and really show his skills throwing 20 to 30 a game.

Late 80’s Dallas Carter comes to mind. They were loaded with D1 athletes. Duncanville circa 2018 may have something to say next week. A lot of talent on these two teams.

North Shore is a shoe in State Champ every year except 2018. Duncanville v NorthShore should be epic. Like watching a couple college teams fight it out. No predictions from me on this one.

Ahem.

Agreed. Always want to say you lost to the BEST. Last year PNG lost to College Station and they went on to win it all. This year I’ll be rooting for FB Marshall next Friday night to make it two in a row.

I agree. For those complaining about the coaching, go back an look at how much this team improved game in game out. That doesn’t happen with poor, decent or even above average coaching. Congrats to all involved in that program this season.

80’s were the “Strait Train” Robert Straight days. They took out my SFA Eagles in 87 I believe(Semi-Finals). That SFA team woulda won State had it not been for Straight.

I can see BH getting it’s share of “recruits” in the years to come. Great schools. Money. Away from Houston. Growing. Room for expansion. Excellent facilities with room for growth. Good academics. The only thing missing is apartment complexes for those that can’t afford the $300K+ price tag on owning a home in Mont Belvieu. Is Westerberg from MB area?

Here we go again with the taking of the knee. That’s something coaches did in Pop Warner to keep kids from running around when someone’s injured and getting in the way of trainers, EMT, etc.. Taking the near adult kids to sideline is more effective. Look around, no one else does this take a knee for respect thing. I’ve watched lots of college and NFL games and don’t see every player on both teams huddle up on a knee when an injury occurs. In fact only time you do see it in the NFL is for prayer in a significant injury requiring a cart. Petty! How about entertaining game between two battle tested teams. Good luck next year Tigers and next week Goblers.
