Heard rumor today that Smalley was heading back to his roots at Bridge City at the conclusion of this season / semester. Don’t know whether that is true or not..everyone knows how rumors are. Either way , I think he makes them wait another week. Give me Orangefield in this one. 

Yes this has been a rumor all year long. With even a lot of the team believing it, and some of his actions tend to lean this way. Be he had mad a public statement denying it. The latest rumor is that he was leaving for BC  and either Prouse from Deweyville or Peevey from LCM will take over. That was the one I heard after the loss to EC. Rumors are just that rumors but i cant help but think there is some truth even if its the tinniest thing him mentioning to a friend that it wouldnt be a bad job and some one passing by heard it. LOL. 

Anybody have this score?

Kirbyville by 24. 

Silsbee for the win but I am really only hoping to see a clean game. It would be a nice change to see. Its getting to be more and more common occurrence that the refs let the tension build up because they aren't calling the obvious fouls. Because as the fans always yell out "Let them Play Ref" "Its football" LOL. I was surprised both EC and OF didn't have at least one kid ejected each. 

In order for Orangefield to even make this a game they will need to find 11 players that want to be there, and the coaches will need to get over the "Its the seniors last game" and play the best 11 players on both side of the ball. Otherwise Woodville by 30.

Good win wildcats. How are the district standings looking now? 

Kirbyville will take first with the win over OF and EC. EC and Orangefield fighting for the second and third spot. Not really sure on the 4th spot with Buna win over Tarkington. 

Them Wildcats came to play ball. Great game and congrats on district championship. Orangefield better be prepared for EC next week. 

Bobcats by 14

Im slightly new to all this, but was there a reason this game was not in the you pick em's this weeK?

I agree Wildcats with the win on this one.

If the Bobcats can't start firing on all cylinders on the first possession, then they will have a hard time beating KV and EC...

Bobcats did have an impressive 70+ yard drive in about 1.5 mins at the end of half under lots of pressure to score.

Good thing they have 2 weeks to prepare. Couldn’t be a better week for a bye IMO

We just couldn’t hold on to the ball the first half.  Blaming this on the shorter practices and homecoming distractions. Oh and Friday the 13th 😂🤣

Friday the 13 is my excuse. The worst game I seen AP play in long time . 

A lot of crazy games tonight BC hanging in with West Orange was another. Orangefields first quarters were horrible they couldn’t hand the ball off without a fumble. 

I expect Kville to pull this one out. But could be low scoring if Tarkington will use 44 and control the clock. Watch for both teams to use the onside kick in this one. Kville trying to close the door early and Tarkington to try and control the momentum.

I want to say HF by 13 but I just have this sneaking suspicion that WOS wins by 6

36-35 Anahuac

Will not work against the nickel? 

Sorry lol I was trying to be sarcastic. I guess it didn’t come off as such. Anahuac was running a 5-4 most of the night which should’ve killed the run. So I was saying that maybe the nickel would’ve worked. In my on weird way.😂

Did it work better than the Anahuac offense?

Hmm hard to say. The slot t works good against the defense Anahuac runs but will not work good against the nickel. Anahuac could’ve ran that 5 yard out with number 5 all night and the bobcats would’ve never stopped it. Anahuac offense looked better in my opinion it was more refined and Orangefields relied on someone on the defense making a mistake and it capitalized on that. So know I don’t think it worked better than Anahuac but it will work grade against the remaking opponents in district if the backs and linemen stay healthy.

It was a sloppy game all around on both sides. 
I don’t understand why #5 didn’t get the ball much. Each time he got it it was dangerous for the Bobcats. One TD he literally carried 3 Bobcats into the endzone & broke about 3 tackles. 
 

i have to agree that the line Judge on Orangefield side called 2 terrible “Targeting” penalties on each team. No way was those two targeting. It was helmet to helmet but both weren’t with the Crown of the helmet.  But they may have changed the rules. 
 

There were lots of mouthing on both sides. 
 

good win & I’ll be interested in seeing AP and O play Kirbyville. It could be a 3 way tie. 

The Orangefield player lead with the head as well as left his feet (launching). Still don’t agree with it (targeting) but by UIL it was definitely targeting. The Anahuac kid should’ve got on sportsman like conduct his was actually a headbutt in my opinion.

Just checking, Slot T work in this one? OF coaches call the right plays? 

Sometimes it did sometimes it didn’t. They got the win so though some might have been the wrong play overall I’d say good job coaches.

Great win by Orangefield. They will be district champs again. I see now why they fight so hard to stay in that district they are in. Anahuac will be #2. I thought they missed some major opportunities tonight like not letting #5 just be the guy every play. Terrible call and management on that last drive before halftime, and when the QB didn’t pick up the first down on 4th and 1 or 4th and 2, can’t remember…That was a critical miss.  You could just feel that Orangefield was not going to be stopped the entire 4th quarter.  Congrats to the Bobcats. They showed again that they own this district. Good luck to Anahuac the rest of the year and in the playoffs. 

Yeah as of now unless they change the distric numbers we will be down again for the next 2 years. We are about 40 kids short of moving up
