[quote name="LAZEEK" post="942516" timestamp="1294202711"] Game was 44-36 LU at half....... ::) ::) ::) [/quote] So we actually made the proper halftime adjustments?? Who wants to bet James won't start the next game and will play less than 10 minutes? ;D

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="941856" timestamp="1294154473"]Very good assessment!  You hit all the points on one post.  karma for you.  (I can't believe I'm giving props to a PN-G guy!   ;D ;D ) [/quote] Just think of me as a SE Texas guy...With strong PNG roots! It'll make you feel better ;D

I have to agree with Green as the best QB in 20-4A 2011. He may not end up with the best overall stats and team wins, but he will be the best QB. Mitchell (Cen) will also continue to develop as will Raines (Ned). The Collins kid from Livingston will be very good under center as well, he may lead his team to a DC, but won't have big QB numbers because of the offense. Not sure who will lead LCM (big shoes to fill) or Lumberton. PNG's new QB (Miller) will be more of a running threat than Doty was, but won't throw the ball with the accuracy that Doty had and he didn't get on the field much at all last season as a product of PNG's defense. In all it won't be the year of the QB like this year was, but it will be dynamic with Green and Mitchell.

It would ruin Texas HS Football.  The Privates would dominate and interest from loyal public HS football fans would wane. The reason that Kelly is not dominant in this area now is because they don't get to play in the UIL playoffs which is the pinnacle of TX HS FB. Thus they are not able to recruit as well like they do in LA, Ohio, Fla, NJ, Cali and others. If you were a top FB player at say WOS or WB, would you rather play in the under publicized private school state title or possibly play in the UIL playoffs? Easy answer, but if Kelly were allowed to play for the same UIL title, then the best area talent would love to play together making the odds of playing for that UIL title much greater. Imagine if the top talent from WOS left for Kelly. What would that do to WOS football and it's fans?

Even if LM were to be below the 4A enrollment number, they still could opt to play up due to travel costs. Not a lot of 3A schools nearbye. Unless the Houston teams that are currently under the 4A magic number decide to drop to 3A and LM joins them. Not very competative district, but they are closer.

Who cares anymore?

Don Skelton! Since he left town the offense has been non-exisitent. He left because he couldn't deal with Roc. The guy has been a very successful HC in the JC ranks turning the NW Miss Program into a regular title contender, then when he left NWM they dropped. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last night Brazier scored everytime they got him the ball down low. He was way to quick for there inside game and Minor was shooting bullets from outside, yet with 3 minutes left in the game they were both sitting on the bench. Brazier finally comes in at about the 2 minute mark and Minor never saw the floor again? Go figure. Start the game and the 5 guys on the floor don't produce we get in a early 8 point hole, but we finish the half hot with Brazier and Minor on the floor. so he starts the second half with the same 5 that started the game and bam back in the hole again!!!

[quote name="falconfanatic" post="936767" timestamp="1292892790"] I do not belive there was a black started on LT. Idk why, but only .5% are black and 90% are white. Its just the demographics of the school population. On a side note LT indoor pracrice field and the largest high school wieght room in the country. [/quote] Wrong...Two starters, both high impact guys. 9 Shaquille Marable (Defensive End that was all over the place) 18 Omar Duke-Tinson (DB)

Once again 4 of the top 6 are private schools with big budgets!!! ;) Funny they have LT in the top 50, but no Aledo who went undefeated including a W against LT!

Nelson will get some interest I am sure at the FCS level in 2012. He is 6'2" with decent speed (4.6), amazing hands and the ability to go get it! Peveto is only a Sophomore, but at 6'3" 200 lbs and growing (I suspect he will play LB at 220 pounds by Sr. yr) with very good speed for his size, I suspect he could be the first big recruit we have had in some time. There is another intriguing Sophomore that was on the team at years end with the size and drive to get some looks down the road as well (Reasons at OL is 6'3" 250 and growing). If he grows like his brother and ends up 6'5" 280+ he will be a beast. I hear unlike his brother he has a passion for FB! [/quote] Let's be perfectly honest, Bertrand won't be heavily recruited because he is a 5'9" WHITE running back.  If he were black the 5'9" would not matter. [/quote] Nah...If he was a 5'9" green RB with 4.4 speed it would not matter! Or if he was a 6'2" 235 lb chartreuse RB it wouldn't matter.

[quote name="texaggies07" post="936453" timestamp="1292815703"] This is going to be a fine job for someone.  With the talent Jasper normally has.  They should get better. [/quote] From what I have heard the Dawgs have an outstanding group of Freshman and Sophs. Several played at the Varsity level this year.

Should have an 11 man rotation. [u]Starter    -      2nd              [/u] C - Custer      Brazier F - Harper      Nelson G - Davis        Adams      Minor G - Miles        Lamb        Minor G - Harris        James Brown, Lynch, D. Harris, Ebomwonyi very little PT.  Brown has been bad. Go look at his numbers! Why he keeps getting starts is beyond me?

LT will not 5 Peat. Aledo will 3 Peat. Gray and QB Bishop returning! I predict Aledo and LM go at it again next year in DII.

[quote name="bigred360" post="936501" timestamp="1292846689"] There is no way Lamar should have lost to ULL after having a 12 point lead and they were 1-8 with a lost to Texas College last week! [/quote] There is one big way...BOB MARLIN IS A BETTER COACH

We are watching the top two RB's in the country for 2012...WOW! This is fun TV!

You see these QB's transfer out of big time programs as Juniors and Seniors, but to get one with four years of eligibility is huge! Especially in such a young program.

[quote name="Scoutu14" post="935048" timestamp="1292626054"] I thought the topic was about Forney committing to Lamar. Obviously his work ethic is not an issue with Lamar. But what gets me is i've been on this sight for a couple of years and every time somebody mentions this kid name somebody has something negative to comment about this kid. What concerns me is what has this kid done to deserve all this criticism. Instead of commending him for furthering his education, you sit there and find some wrong in everything he does.  So  from across the tracks are not, this is somebody's child. I can bet some of the people that's hating on him are the same one's who smile in his face and pat him on the back for a job well done. I hope he doesnt pay attention to this mess that people post about him.  [/quote] Hopefully for his and Lamar's sake he does pay attention and works his tail off to proove everyone wrong, myself included.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="934234" timestamp="1292517753"] The Backup RB that you are in reference to will probably be starting next year.   ;D [/quote] Yes, I thought so...He will make people forget about Heard quickly IMO!

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="934064" timestamp="1292501553"] [quote author=PNGFan link=topic=77424.msg933996#msg933996 date=1292470250] What did Hall or Heard do against PNG their senior years?? [/quote]What does that have to do with this discussion? [/quote] ??? Hall tore PNG up. He was and I am sure still is a rare talent. Heard did not. IMHO he spends too much time dancing around in the backfield. When it works it pays off big, but against Humble the other back impressed me more because he hit the hole with some athority and always moved forward. I thought if the other guy had gotten more carries Central would have played FWood!

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="933744" timestamp="1292443721"] The AP all state teams are usually a joke. They only go off of hype and pub. Look at the 3A AP all state team, littered with Brownwood players. Best example of how silly the AP all state teams have been was a few years ago whe the AP named Nederland's Dravannti Johnson the state class 4A Defensive player of the year and he didn't even make 1st team all district that year. All hype and pub, nothing really legit. [/quote] You are correct. It is usually littered with top recruits. I have always thought that the Texas college coaches had some pull in getting there top recruits on the list to bolster there appeal to the alums! [quote author=rollinac link=topic=77532.msg933724#msg933724 date=1292441394] Where is Dobbins' name on this list???  Surely that cannot be right? [/quote] Dobbins only made HM because he was injured most of the year. [quote author=BMTSoulja1 link=topic=77532.msg933705#msg933705 date=1292439815]  But for now, it's still funny.  Heard and one of those RB's from Livingston (both state playoff teams) had 1,000 yard backs.  [/quote] 1000 yard backs at the state level are a dime a dozen you know that. It takes 1500+ to get any recognition.

[quote name="TURN2" post="933775" timestamp="1292445302"] Battles are good but there might be too much wasted talent on the bench.Miller is 6'4" 220lbs and can run a 4.6 he only saw the field to take a knee. [/quote] Travis ain't that big. Travis is 6'3" 195 and I dont know about a 4.6 but he is much more of a run threat than Doty was. From what I hear he is also #1 in the Jr. Class. I am guessing that some think that Peveto will get a look at QB. I heard he played QB at OF before transfering and playing defense this year as a Soph. He is big 6'3" 205 and growing and has good spead as well, but this Junior class has won a lot of football games over the years with T. Miller at QB.

Yankees and Mets have moore revenue because they draw from a TV market of over 20 million! Boston and Philly also have large Media market because of there proximaty to NYC. Chicago and LA are also large media markets (10-15 million). Houston, Dallas, SF Bay area and SD should compete, but most of the other 20+ teams can't.

Finally a guy signs with the team/city he and his family felt most comfortable with! And leaves cash on the table. I hate that the Phills get even better, but Cliff Lee moves up on my list of favorite athletes.

If you plan on signing with a team as a last resort because no one else offers, why tell everyone this?
