Yeah that's probably a bold prediction on my part based on the level of competition from last night. HD does have a couple 290lb + kids that he was working over pretty bad (when they did get their hands on him). I pulled up his highlights from their scrimmage last week against Shepherd and he looked just as dominant. I'll be keeping an eye on him for sure.

I heard that Nederland’s staff and boosters were not very friendly to the Barriers during their visit. A whole lot of “don’t think you’re coming in here to reinvent the wheel” and “we’ve got our starting QB so don’t think some small school kid can come in here and play” etc. Pretty sure Nederland not being very welcoming was the determining factor of the Barriers moving on. 
 
And on a couple other notes, Ned is a tremendous coach and offensive mastermind. His head coaching record isn’t great, but look at the programs he took over. Nobody goes to those schools and puts up big winning records. Any school would be lucky to get Coach Barrier as HC or OC….with or without Brady coming along. 
 
Speaking of Brady, apparently several posters on this thread have NOT SEEN this kid play. He is legit in every sense of the word. Tremendous athlete, great kid, and someone that LOVES football. He just made it to regionals in the discus…as a freshman. And those of y’all saying yeah he started at a 3A school as a freshman, big deal, lots of kids do that. He didn’t just START, the kid balled out. He threw for 2600+ yards (65.8% completion), 21 TDs (rushed for another 5 scores) and only 5 interceptions. He only play 2-3 quarters in multiple games blowing teams out and in the 10 games other than Newton and Franklin he only threw one interception (Anahuac was trailing in both those games and were throwing a ton late into heavy pass coverage). Kid throws dimes and eats, sleeps and breathes football and is a very underrated athlete. He’s about 6’3” 200lbs right now….and just finished 9th grade last week. His first game after 8th grade was the season opener as the starter against Newton and the athletes they bring to the table….and he didn’t seem phased at all. So anyone thinking he can’t make the immediate jump to 5A and that level of play doesn’t have a clue. We’ll be watching this kid throw TDs on Saturdays in a few years, mark my words. Nederland really lost out not getting those two.

I agree. In the end Newton imposed their will and won the game, but the final score wasn’t indicative of how competitive the game was. Anahuac freshman QB is legit and then some throwing the ball! Anahuac will make some noise this year and will only get better.

How do you follow up a 59 point game against a district rival… drop 71 on ‘em in the next meeting!!
 
Hull-Daisetta sophomore Kaylei Armstrong shatters 31 year old HD single game scoring record by 11, after scoring 71 points in an HD home victory over district rival Sabine Pass.

Just gotta give a shout-out to the Hull-Daisetta lady Bobcats on a big win last night over Sabine Pass 73-20.
 
HD sophomore Kaylei Armstrong scored 59 points leading the Lady Cats to the district win. I know most of these young ladies (and guys) from some of the smaller schools in the area tend to get overlooked but she definitely needs to be on the radar for regional recognition and all-star teams. She was the district MVP last year as a freshman and she is definitely a baller!!

Good luck Lime, there's still a lot of football to play bud. DV also had their share of injuries to overcome this year. Thankfully they're healed up and ready to make some noise in District. They do have a good team and great coaching so it should be an exciting ride. 

HD sure didn't look the same without big Bryce running around creating havoc on both sides of the ball. I really enjoyed watching that kid play, he was a gamer. Did he end up going anywhere to play?

Never picking the Horsemen again this season. 

Best of luck the rest of season.

I got logged out a few days ago and couldn’t remember my password. 
 
As an HD fan, I definitely have an excuse for tonight’s loss….. Deweyville kicked our teeth in!! They were hands down the better TEAM. Much more physical and dominated in the trenches all night on both sides of the ball. HD showed some fight for about 3 quarters of play but they were outmatched, outcoached and outplayed. 
 
Good luck Pirates on the rest of the season and Bobcats, learn from this loss and work harder. 

Congrats to the much maligned bobcats..... beating your rival can sure get things right 

What was I thinking 😂

HD Bobcats - 30
WH Oilers - 6
 
Final score
 
Good tough game played by both teams. Congrats to the Bobcats and to Coach Birdwell on his first win as HD head coach. 

Thank goodness.. I was beginning to wonder who HD might beat this year.  With Sabine Pass canceling the season and all.

To heck with West Hardin and the horsemen they rode in on. 

Time to put the Horseman in the barn and let the ponies loose!

I think you’re right about those missing kids, lots of huge holes out there tonight that you’re just not gonna fill with quality athletes at a 2A-II school. Somerville definitely didn’t look like a 3-6 team from last season. SV still wins handily with those kids in uniform but it’s definitely more competitive. 
 
Now on top of those kids being out don’t forget Junior Landon Victorian moving to Louisiana  last minute (HD leading rusher as a freshman in 2019) and HD’s do it all Junior scat back/DB Devante Broussard who also moved to Goose Creek Memorial over the summer. Along with Jeremiah and Sellers, that’s 4 key defensive starters out and 4/5 of your playmakers on offense who were expected to be out there (other than Dawson Victorian). 
 
On the same note note,congrats to Devante for a heck of a 5A debut for the Patriots against Klein Forrest leading GCM on offense with 11 receptions for 114 yards. That kid is hard to replace and he’s proving it at higher level competition.
