[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="933663" timestamp="1292437471"] Yes, that's real funny.  4 PN-G players, an LC-M player but no Jaguar or Lion Players...   ::) ::) [/quote] I am sure they looked at numbers and the guys on list from our area had big numbers. Central really didn't have any standout stats on the state level. Thought Alfred would have made HM DLine. Not to worry Soulja in two years Mithcell will be on this list if he stays healthy.

Congrats to PNG's Lunceford for being selected 2nd team All State. Well deserved! Other Area players on list: Honorable Mention QB - B. Doty (PNG) RB - C. Bertrand (PNG) WR - Z. Sonnier (LCM) WR - A. Jalali (PNG) LB - DJ Schexnieder (PNG)

[quote name="JJWooten" post="933429" timestamp="1292393447"] This isn't a traditional Marlin team, this team is BAAAD. He inherited some garbage players over there. [/quote] Sounds like it. Cards by 10. Have already prooven that they can win on the road this year, which is better than in past seasons.

[quote name="bigtimeaggie" post="933424" timestamp="1292392566"] it's funny how ya'll can talk about kids like that. How can you say he is not that good when he turn the program around ima laugh at you allcause all ya'll are doing is being jealous cause ya'll couldn't live ya laugh [/quote] So he was QB of a team that has been to the playoffs 10+ years in a row and they made the playoffs and lost in the 1st round both seasons. BIG TURN AROUND! Didn't they actually win that 1st round matchup the year before (2008)?

[quote name="bigtimeaggie" post="933426" timestamp="1292392984"] it is very funny how you all can talk about the kid coach roc offered him in the 8th grade to play it was just on quiet an I can't wait to see ya faces cause he gunna prove all of you wrong just watch and see that's even if he decides to go there ya'll need to mature an find something better to do but for forney the greatness has just begin. Just watch an see I have all my money riding on him. [/quote] Is the "Da Chosen One" himself?  ::) If he signs with someone else, then so be it, that's just proof of his character, which has been steadily questioned by people that have played with him.

I wouldn't think that the sitting out another year and having 3 years of eligibility thing would be an issue for him if he still wants to play and showcase his skills at the highest level (FBS). But who knows. I am sure we would all welcome him with very, very, open arms as a Cardinal!!!

[quote name="bigred360" post="932991" timestamp="1292349058"] Well, there times when a coach can pull a scholarship if he thinks the young man is not following team rules. I would think showing up and working out would be part of that. Really, Lamar is in a win-win situation here as if Forney was a great leader, loved to work out and was a model player the Cardinals probably would not have had the chance to sign him. Let's just hope he matures. [/quote] Excellent points! Upside is big if Woodard can change this young mans attitude because the tools are there. The arm is big as is the rest of the body. If he can slim down and play at 6'5" 225-230 range and learn how to read defenses, he could be a beast. Just a lot of ifs.

[quote name="games24x7" post="932658" timestamp="1292289066"] Merka is going to TCU as an athlete not QB. He will not play QB at the next level. [/quote] OOPS...I wasn't even counting Merka as one of the 2 commits.

[quote name="games24x7" post="932262" timestamp="1292217223"] I hear Doty is going to TCU. I heard TCU,Utah, and STSU have been keeping in contact with him. Have not heard anything on the other's. Yes, Dionte run's the 40 in the 5's. He's 25 lbs. overweight and would be too slow to play DE or TE at Lamar. He has a very poor work ethic. Surely LU can do better than this. No way he can play QB at the D-1 level, way too SLOW! [/quote] TCU already has commitments from 2 other QB's. SMU would be a great fit for Doty's game. TCU runs a little more option than most. Not one of Doty's strengths. He needs to be in a spread O and not a spread option.

Johnson to LU would be a major get and could turn this FB program into an imediate SLC title contender. Just think he will go FBS in TX or LA somewhere. ULL, UNT, UH, SMU.

[quote name="bigred360" post="931735" timestamp="1292154957"] No, I've read several complaints of the turf they run on at the combine. A lot of players don't like it. [/quote] Of course they don't like it. There is not someone in their camp with the clock!

Lot of really good QBs this season in SETX. Can't put them all on the team. I think it's a pretty good list.  Except that Hobbs pick?? I would have picked Alvarez. Moved up from 2A and kept it going.

But like I said he has a legit arm. If he plays QB he will be a pocket passer. Sonnier only ran in the 4.6 range! And he was football fast. 6'5" 250 pounders dont run 4.7's very often! I'd be willing to bet Cam Newton will only clock 4.6ish at the combine. [/quote] Cam Newton 4.6ish. I'll take that bet and it has to be at the combine where they usually run slower times. Fair? [Hidden Content] [/quote] Fair! And they don't run slower times at the Combine...They run legitimate, unbiased times.

[quote name="bigred360" post="929446" timestamp="1291927596"] Lord I hope he is not the one Lazeek is talking about. Did Forney even make All-District? I think he has some talent but I was thinking he'd go juco and work on being a dual threat QB. [/quote] Forney will never, ever be a dual threat QB. You have to actually have some speed to be a dual threat QB. Kid runs 5+ second forty on a good day. Good arm. I would say if he plays at LU it will be as a DE. His work ethic will need to change, especially to play QB. Three PNG seniors this year that can play at the next level, be it FBS or FCS, but have heard very little about their recruitment to date: QB - B. Doty - 6'2" 185 lbs OL - G. Lunceford - 6'3" 270 lbs LB - D.J. Schexneider - 6'2" 200 lbs Another is WR A. Jalali - 5'9" 170 lbs, but he will play baseball (kid can hit a ton and is fast on the bases). Maybe an LU diamond recruit!

[/quote] While the RedSox are able to sign most people.. No one compares to the Yankees. No one is even close to what the Yankees are capable of doing money wise. [/quote] There is no denying that the Yanks overspend on everyone. Boston does the same, but they happen to actually have some home grown talent that keeps them from being in the Yankees annual spending stratosphere. All this does is drives up the prices for the small markets on sub-par free agents. It's killing baseball outside of NY, Bos and LA!  Take a look at what has happened to TB this offseason. Crawford, Pena, Benoit, probably Soriano and Ballfour and others all either gone via FA or on the way out. Just wait and see what happens to one of the best true baseball cities in America in St. Louis if Pujols ends up a Yankee, Met or BoSock

And the rich get richer...This is whats killing MLB!

Nicholls is not making any money off of it's home games. LU is. Therefore it is more financially benificial I am sure for LU to play home cupcakes and more financially benificial for Nicholls to play road power conferences. Just my opin! A few years back we had TT in here and ArkSt., BYU, always had Rice. I am guessing next year we will get ULL and Rice at home, maybe even Tulane. That works for me. Be nice to see UH in the Montange.

[/quote]1997,La Marque won it's third consecutive State Title. 1995 was the last unified title in Class 4A ,1996 and 1997 were in Class 4A Div. II. Texas City was the champion in Div I in 1997. [b]La Marque went to the title again in 1998, making it 6 consecutive years. [/b] The only time that was done by any team in any division in the State of Texas was in the early 1920's, which was Waco. Unfortunately that powerhouse of a team from Stephenville kept La Marque from winning it in 3 of those 6 years. [/quote] Great, Great run. Is there another one in the Coogs future? By the way who broke that streak in 1999?  ;D

[quote name="RCOLE68" post="928128" timestamp="1291750048"] Friendswood looks like a team on a mission this year and Lake Travis has not been the juggernaut [b](undefeated)[/b] power this year but have had a few injuries slow them down. Going to be a good one- Friendswood-42 Lake Travis-35 Go win state Mustangs!! [/quote] Who did FWood lose to? Who did LT lose to? By the way not slamming FW. You asked for a prediction! So how is picking the 3 time defending State Champion, whose only losses this year were to the other defending Champion and A now 13-1 Cedar Park team (vindicated), a slam to FW. Champion is still champion until prooven otherwise. Look folks, if you had your choice of opponent this week, Callalen or LT, with a tilte game appearance on the line, who are you picking. LM got a better draw.

LaMarque plays for a state title! That's all I have to say about the FW / LT game.

String of early season losses to some very good teams. Proof that it's best to be hot at the end of the season!

Blowout of Epic proportions followed by another letdown loss to ______...Fill in the blank! (ULL)

Honest question here...Was Lamar 1AA in the 70's and 80's? If so when was Lamars last playoff game?? I couldn't find it going back to '82

[quote name="samsung" post="926618" timestamp="1291527236"] Anybody wanting to fire Larry Neuman is crazy.  Hes the best coach in the area. [b] If he had players like PNG [/b] and Central he,d win district every year.   [/quote] That's funny right there! Three seasons ago we had a coach that said he didn't have the talent to compete with Nederland, now we got a new coach and someone from Nederland is saying this about our talent. Prooves what good coaching does for ya. One of these seasons Neuman will have a healthy team and he will no doubt be DC again. The man can coach.
