Trying to get some information. Can anyone confirm if the "Slot T" worked in this game? Coaches call the right plays?

Great job PNG. PNG is a great example of "what is right about high school football".

Did not surprise "everyone".

Championship might be decided in 4 weeks. Coldspring is work in progress. Got a lot of developing pieces rounding into form. Will be interesting to see how CS fairs against Woodville.

EC has a great coaching staff and have won a lot of games. Kirbyville is the better team at the moment.

You have identified the coaching problems with play calling. Do you think those “0” experience RBs carrying out their fakes and blocks impacts the performance? In the Slot T? Or just poor coaching? What plays do you think the coaches should call? 200 series? 300 series? 100s? Which plays do they not call?

Not going to be an "easy" win for either team. Kirbyville is much better than last year. This game could go either way. A chance for KV to show they are on the pathway back to contention in the District.

No. Jasper is "looking" to win the district.

Tatum QB is a spectacular athlete. He is going to play LB at LA Tech.

They are not 1-3. Tatum lost to Center and Daingerfield. the Pitt game was called for weather with Tatum leading. Tatum then beat West Rusk. Center and DF would likely run Lumberton off the field and Tatum took them both to the wire.

Honestly believe the top 4 teams in the district can finish in any position 1-4. This is why we play the games and they are beginning this week.

Tatum probably edges Lumberton in this one. Tatum has surprised me all year. Hope I don’t jinx them.

Hard to imagine Franklin losing at this point. Typical Slot T team, getting better as the year moves on.

Big game. Winner will be in great position.

Woodville is the first of the 3-game stretch that will tell the tale. Still have not hit for 4 QTRs. Still got work to do for the Trojans to reach full potential.

Slot T working pretty well for Franklin.

Understood. I am well acquainted with Kilgore. They definitely do not have the best defense in 4A. Pittsburgh is horrible and is not a good reference. However, I am aware that Carthage should get better but they started out much better last year and they are not currently operating at the gap between the competition that they normally have. They are the favorites but currently look within sight of teams like Silsbee.

Agreed. We all know what he inherited. Dayton was the bottom feeder of the District for a decade. It is undeniable that the program is light years beyond where it was when he got there.

I think the reason Mart and Carthage have “not got bored with it” is because they “do not run it”?

No doubt he would be in high demand. We can kind of see why Dayton has been a dumpster fire. Local “fans” try to undermine the best coach they have had in many years.

Yes, “Go Broncos” while running the coaches down.

Understood. I will be here to call out every nonsensical statement like “the coaches quit coaching”. Fortunately the poisonous fans are in the small minority in Dayton.

Understood. Where does your obsession with running down the most effective coaching staff that Dayton has had for a decade+ come from? You keep saying Dayton is loaded with athletes when they have less than last year. Your incorrect assertion of the current talent level is fueling your off base comments. The best case scenario this year for Dayton is to hold serve with last year (maybe get a good 1st round matchup) but next year and the next few years they will contend for the District title and make some good runs. And that will be the best run Dayton has had in many years.

What do you think a coach should do when a player mishandles a onside kick during a game? Tell him not to mishandle the kick? Replace him with someone who has not practiced at that spot?

Which coaches specifically “quit coaching”? Did they leave the field or sit down on the sidelines?
