Larger enrollment has an advantage. La Vega with 877 kids vs WOS with 656  means more kids (221 more) to choose from. I know there are exceptions. The two largest 3A2 schools in that class played for the state championship. It is not all about  staff or coaching.. 

OK. If you are right, we should see WV back in the championship this year. Newton will have no chance.

This might be a critical game for Jasper. I am not certain how United compares with Lumberton.

DCTF has this one as too close to call.

Where do you see the predictions from DCTF? I can’t find them.

Do you see this game being a 34-0 type game? 

At least 

3rd consecutive shutout

Slot T is not football. It does not translate to a college program and definitely not to the pros. I realize most of these athletes will not go to college or pro but this type of football it is hard to keep athletes interested. Slot T is the dinosaur in Texas football 3A or higher and the only thing it is good for is encouraging kids to go straight baseball or basketball. The coaches that coach it are not adaptable in most cases to. IMO I don't see why a kid would want to run right and left all the time knowing they are going to get pounded all game long. 

You are very knowledgeable.

NO ONE in Vidor is asking for the spread.  You do know there are more offenses than the spread.

I am aware. All of them work and don’t work

What has happened? It’s that bad in Hemphill now?

HH lost a tremendous amount of enrollment in a short period. They have not recovered.

That's comparing apples to oranges.

As is everything that does not support the desired narrative.

I think its a case by case situation. Some teams have the athletes to run it  just like the spread. I think the vidor folks are ready to see a different type offense, and you cant blame them. Them and Lumberton were in the top losing programs in the state. 

Vidor problems are not because of offensive scheme. Every offense works and doesn’t work. Would love to get a show of hands that believe Vidor has “spread type athletes”.

Even ex liberty hill coach Kent Walker (now with blanco) has figured out the slot-T has ran its course. He is transitioning slowly into other formations

Franklin, Bellville, Waskom, and Joaquin have not “figured out the slot-T has ran its course”.

I did not realize you beat orangefield.  

Still don’t know who “you” is. I have not played OF. Was your initial comment about WV “playing weaker teams”?

52 minutes ago, purpleeagle said:

You have not beat anyone with a winning l record.

1. Who is “you”?

2. What is a “winning I record”?

3. Pretty certain OF is decent. 2 of the 3 were playoff teams last year. Can’t control how teams perform 2 years after the schedule is made.

Woodville playing weaker teams.

Yep, scheduling 3AD1 teams.

I was close to going to Davis around 2010-11 with a guy as his DC--I was excited cause I knew the kids there after being at Ike for a few. But - never happened-- but did you see Ike beat Clear Brook????

Clear Brook is horrible but good for Ike

Hemphill is not all that bad, they still have El. Tios. 

HH likely 0-10

WOS.  They'll get it together. Eliminate the penalties mistakes and bad officiating and they should have beaten Nederland. If the OL works on their blocking this week they'll be off to the races. And with all due respect to the kicker, special teams should work on the fake field goal, fake extra points, and onside kick, I think they'll come in handy. 

Wonder if Nederland feels like they could have done better without "penalties, mistakes and bad officiating"? You make some brilliant points. Hopefully WOS will "work on their blocking this week" and also "fake field goal, fake extra points and onside kicks". Will not have much time after they work on "victory formation" and "spiking the ball".

Man you sure our bitter. LOL. 
Dominating?!? 
 

I wouldn’t call beating a returning 1-9 team Warren and a 2A-D1 Dominating.

Last year there strategy against Orangefield they ran 3 plays outside the ends and everything else was up the middle. Thats all I am saying is they are running to the outside more this year. For longer gains not just trying to get 3 yards at a time to control the clock. 
 But it’s ok I’m obviously not going change your mind. And I’m not changing yours I’m guessing only time will tell. 
 

And I’m really not in any position to say I’m right I’ve never even played football but I did stay at a holiday in that had espn.

Was the Warren game close? "Last year" Hardin beat Warren 27-6. "This year" Hardin beat Warren 48-0. Outscoring opponents 75-0 through 2 games, call it what you want. 

Just now, TxAthlete409 said:

Yeah but last year doesn’t have anything to do with this year.

Yes, that is why Hardin is dominating their opponents at a much higher clip than last year. Not "trying for short gains". Now they are "trying for long gains". LOL

3 minutes ago, TxAthlete409 said:

Last year they did. This year though, it just may be that they are playing teams like Warren, they don’t seem to be trying the short gains like they have in the past. This is just from the little bit I’ve watched of their games this year.

"Trying the short gains"? They are running the same offense with the same players who are a year older.  

5 minutes ago, TxAthlete409 said:

Last year they also lost their best player in the Orangefield game. And he was out for a game or two after that and they still came in third last year. I don’t agree that last year has nothing to do with this year. If there are remnants from last years teams there’s experience and skill returning. 

OK. "Last year" CS beat Shepherd. "This year" CS was beaten 48-26 by Shepherd. "Last year" CS beat Liberty, "this year", Liberty "beat CS". "Last year", Woodville beat OF 27-7. "This year" OF beat Woodville 35-14. 

Last year means nothing.

They were the only challenger last year in district. They matchup well against Breaux’s offense and defense. I hope you are right. I like a really good hard fought game but I’d like to keep a good 2 touch down lead for my nerves.

“Last year” has nothing to do with “this year”. CS does not have their best/most valuable player from last year and they have an entire new coaching staff. They will be running a completely different offense. CS will be able to beat Kelly and probably Buna. Everything else will be a major question mark. No chance they compete with OF

I feel pretty confident in my knowledge of the teams in the district. I nailed the order early last year in my picks for this district as well. 

You will not “nail the order” this year.

I think Coldspring may go in third with Hardin and  Anahuac fighting for fourth.

Might want to learn more about the teams in the district.
