What makes EC the better team? Based on your observance of Central and Aransas Pass? I thought you said season results don't count.

Central only lost 67-64 in that game with Aransas Pass, it was a close game through out. Plus they are a 4A team. I will be in Livingston tomorrow night to hopefully watch a really good basketball game.

Don't be over confident about your press. I have seen Central break good presses all year. They play smart basketball.

I don't see your point. I said nothing about about weak or strong. I fully understand you have to play who is in front of you, whether they are having a good year or not. I just stated how the schedule happen to turn out for EC this year. It could happen to any team out there. Play the hand you are dealt. That's all you can do.

Well, you do have to look at season and similar opponents to see a match up level. Which in this case shows the EC and Central game will be a very competitive game . Look I am normally not a Central fan, mainly follow 6A Lufkin , now 5A. However, have some friends out at 3A Central about 5 miles from Lufkin who got me involved a little bit watching games. It is not 6A ball by any means but much more fundamental in most cases, which I like to watch. Should be a great game and the best part is I really don't have a dog in the hunt.

Did not say anything about EC being blown out. Was making reference to the guy who said EC would win by 38 and I said Central has not been blown out all year. Read Well, 75% of EC schedule has been against teams with .500 or less records. Just as I said. Did not say weak or strong, just stated a fact.

Watched them play Huntington twice in the Dallardsville Tourney back the early part of December, Huntington won the first game 65-60 , then Kountz won the next day 62-58. Huntington also beat 2A Broaddus 76-53 during the year. Broaddus is 22-10 and still in the playoffs playing Tenaha this Friday.

NO Name Above said EC will Win by 38?????? Just shows somebody knows nothing about the Central Bulldogs. They are 24-8 and 5 of their losses were close games to ranked 4A teams early in Tournament play. They did not play 75% of their games against teams with a .500 or less records. No one has blown them out all year. They are a lot better than Kountze ,which I have seen play. They did not beat a bunch of 2A ranked teams. Common opponent is Broaddus on 2/16 in a warm up game which EC won 89-54, Central played Broaddus on 12/12/17 in the regular season and won 57-36.

Lufkin returns senior QB Jeffery Claybon 6'3" 190 and senior RB Trevon Lewis 6' 210 as starters on offense for 2008. Lufkin will still run some spread but also have added the Pistol O to their package. They have lots talent on offense that hasn't played on Friday nights but are going to surprise a few people. They will have very good back up RB in Wendell Smith 6' 180 and Michael Ingram 6' 185. The WR corp will consist of Quinn Trimble 6'3" 185, Tra Horace 5'9" 170, Kasey Jones 5"10 175, Taz Haliu 5"10" 170 and D'adrick Lee 6'2" 215 all have great hands and speed. The O-line will be young but they came back bigger and stronger than they were in the Spring, they will be better than most think. The Lufkin D will be stout. In fact their front 4 could be one of the best in the State. JaMarkus McFarland 6'3" 285, Garman Reed 6'3" 245 , Ja'Darius Dade 6'2" 245, and eventually Shaqille Teel 6'1" 270 will be the front four D-line. The secondary has two returning starters in Jr Carrington Byndom 6'1" 185 and Sr De' Marques Freeman 6' 180. Returning LB's will be Sr Ka"Landis Phillips 5'10" 190, Jr JaMendric Garrett 5'11" 190, Jr Blaine McBride 5"10" 185 and Sr Chris Davis 6'1 190, will play by committee.
