Does Shepherd have any live stream?
They do not.

Last year, Shepherd was averaging 355 yards rushing per game going into Silsbee game. Tigers held them to 215.
WO-S held them to their 2nd lowest rushing total of 223 yards. The other 8 games Shepherd rushed for 300+.
I like WO-S in this one, 30-13
Shepherd has a drastically different team than what was seen last year including two RBs and their FB. Shepherd OL is significantly upgraded as well. They may not win the games but I wouldn’t put much stock in what was seen last year.

Tarkington is set to drop and I was told Hardin is on the 3AD2 bubble. Then, there's always Woodville and Warren as to where they will land? I dont know much about Liberty or HJ but if they stay D2 where they belong, it will certainly make things interesting with the remainder of the d2 and d1 beaumont area teams.
You are correct. Hardin is right on the edge. If HJ and Liberty stay down it could push Shepherd north or southwest. Crockett is also likely to drop as well which would likely remove AS, Trinity and NW.

I sure hope they don't drop. Need them to stay in order to have at least a 6 team DII district since BC, HJ and Liberty (who are DII enrollment) chose to opt up. I expect them to do the same in this realignment. (even though BC may have DI enrollment this time around)
A 5 team district is not good. Have to schedule 6 non-district games which is virtually impossible. Be better off playing each district foe twice, eight games, then only having 2 non district games but that won't happen.
If HJ and Liberty would just stay DII, then no issues.
I dont believe that it is settled on HJ and especially Liberty, opting up again. Dont know much about BC. I honestly see no way for Tarkington to remain up.

Tarkington would be more competitive back in 3A. Seems like that area is growing..
They are likely to drop. Their enrollment is down significantly from last realignment (well below the last cut line).

Running clock in the 2nd QTR.

Just curious as to what qualifies in your mind that Braeden White is the best athlete in the district?
Have you seen all the teams in the district this year?
Has several D1 offers. Made 1st All District at 2 positions his sophomore year (unanimous at both and beat out Armstrong last year). Also was Offensive MVP of the district in basketball as a sophomore year. 310 lbs and dunking basketballs. Maybe someone else is a better athlete but he is on the short list.
I can tell you flat out that there is no DL/OL type in the district on his level.

Why would the defense give up 21 points? Do Shepard have a good offensive unit? We pass through Shepard Texas often I always thought they were a 3A team.
Shepherd has a great offense running the double wing (same as Hardin) and the what may be the best skill player unit in recent memory. Shepherd will also field the single best athlete in the district (Braeden White). Shepherd will have a 1-2 punch from TE and FB in the double wing that will be a tough matchup against any team in the district. The same 2 TEs and FB will also anchor what may be the best DL in the district.
Don’t know if it will be enough to beat a team like WOS but they are going to be a tough out for any of the big 4. Will not be surprised if they pick off a couple of them. Also, 18 starters are JRs.

Sets up a real game in 2 weeks. BTW it's a Pink Out Silsbee fans

Are Columbus and Yoakum both capable of defeating Hitchcock?
I don’t think anyone is unbeatable. Most of the region leaders from last year are down having lost many key players. Hitchcock included.

That sounds like it may go something like
PW
Fairfield
Crockett
Teague
PW plays Crocket this Friday. That may say a lot about where Crockett is at the moment.
Definitely will tell us something. Be shocked if Crockett offense does not run well. However, don't know if Crockett defense will be up to the challenge. **Also will not be shocked if there is an "upset".

Crockett barely beat New Waverly early season though as you said they are getting better. So it will be interesting to see how that plays out. I’d argue with you about them being a problem. But I tried that early in the year on Orangefield beating Hardin so I’ll swallow my pride and say your right. lol
Crockett just started the double wing this year. They might have the best RB in the district. All their players are getting used to the system which is drastically different than what they have done in the past.

Hardin should not struggle with Teague or Crocket which will probably take the forth position in District 9. Second round being Columbus, Yoakum, or Hitchcock who all have pretty good strength on the DL, should be more of a game. But Hardin hasn't really had to show if they have anything else in their play book because what they are doing has been unstoppable by any team they have faced so far. They have my full support once district is over but as of now I still need them to lose to Buna and Kirbyville. LOL
Crockett will pose a problem for everyone. Running the exact same offense as Hardin and Shepherd and getting better every week.

I am curious to hear @89Falcon thoughts on that particular district, along with @AggiesAreWe
I am not overly familiar with Teague and Fairfield. I believe WW to be a tick off what they were last year (but not much). The question in this one is "how is Crockett going to fair in district"? I suspect Crockett will get one of the 4 spots. Diboll is down from last year but showed some life against Shepherd. Lets go:
WW/Fairfield 1 or 2 in some order.
Crockett, Teague, Diboll for the last two spots.

We were told that same thing 3 years ago..now that it looks the same every Friday people are figuring it out.These kids were born and raised right here and just always wanted that silver helmet like their dads,uncles and even grandfathers…sure some years you might be a little worse than others but WOS has never been this bad this long,Jasper probably either.
Understood. The current group that are JRs are the "ONLY" time in my entire life where I saw a 4A program unable to field a 7th grade team. 7th grade teams are typically over running and have to be shrank to a number where they can be coached. During that same season, our 7th grade was forced to play the Jasper 8th grade (who are now SRs) and beat them.
We knew at that time that Jasper would be in dire straits in the future. We always wondered if they would pull some kids out of the halls and become "Jasper" again, but it does not appear that has happened.

I picked us in the poll, but I really don't know much about WO-S right now. All I know is that a win would be good for us.
I was pretty high on Coach Crumedy after the playoff run a few years ago and I like him, but I don't know what changed since then. He came in as an OC from Manvel that consistently averaged 50 ppg and we haven't seen anything close to that with the Bulldogs. Good coaches don't forget how to coach.
Anybody have any insight on this??
The talent level went down from 2023.

Silsbee has not gotten report cards yet. They have them every 9 weeks
Grades are counted for eligibility at 6 weeks for all schools at the beginning of the year and then again at 9 weeks (for those on 9 week grading systems).
They could go ineligible at 6 weeks and then come back at 9 weeks or also go ineligible at 9 weeks as well.

Newton is not Warren or Trinity. Newton defense is OF 2.0. Babin can throw for another 3 or 4 TDs and no picks and Woodville still lose by 20 plus
Duly noted. We have you on the record. Historically, you have been right about next to nothing. We will see how this one goes.
You have a lot riding on WV failing. If WV were to win it would start looking like the coaches know more than you do about the players on the team and coaching in general.

They wouldn’t be playing the following week if it was grades…
Depending on when Silsbee started school it could be grades.

Newtons defense should be the difference in this game. Woodiville will struggle stopping Newton. Newton has 80 or 81 conservative district game wins 🏆
Yep. WV is giving up 18 points per game while Newton is giving up only 12.

Ain't no "if" about it. 4 starters will not play Friday.
How long are they out?

A team can only score so much in a game. I expect WV will be within striking distance in the match. WV offense has rounded into form since the OF game

Huffman is underperforming. For those of you that seek examples of me being "wrong", this would be one. I had Huffman 10-0 at the beginning of the season.

Coldspring has not grown any. Shepherd will drop back to 3A at the next alignment after the current Senior and Junior class graduate. Tarkington has also lost numbers. Cleveland has lost numbers as well. Splendora is the only one growing at the moment.
