Schedule so far: Huffman hasn't played a winning program yet. That makes it tough. Needville and Navasota were good tests and they came out on top but we will see. Things seemed to click better after Needville. If I was to rank things based on (a system I just pulled out of thin air) Quality of Performance ("-1" for a loss, "0" being an expected win, "1" being a good win, "2" being a great win) Huffman is at a Grade "2" after 4 games.
Stafford (1-4): Athletic and big. Conditioning and execution was the issue with Stafford. Stafford has played two good teams (Calhoun and Bellville) lost to Sealy (2-2) and beat Wharton (Wharton is not good this year). Probably not a great indicator of quality.
Needville (2-3): played nasty and was big and fast. The comment I heard from a player was "Stafford was more athletic but Needville played football better." That game was close. Huffman wore them out and played more disciplined. Needville beat a gamey Livingston team (3-2), Lost to a mediocre Navarro team, Lost by 1 point to a good Yoakum (4-0), and beat a bad Sweeny team(1-4). Needville was a step up in competition. Not a dominant performance but got the job done. I would lean towards this being a good not great win.
Navasota (2-2): I don't know. I expected a lot more out of Navasota than that. Losing to Mexia may have knocked the wind out of their sails. When their starting QB came in fresh the second half, I thought they could get some momentum. This is a good not great win.
LaMarque(0-4): Good teams are supposed to win this game. I'm not deep diving on their schedule, Huffman did score almost double the points they have allowed per game this year. Huffman played clean and methodical. A win.
Upcoming Schedule:
LCM (0-2): They will probably be 0-3 coming into the game against Huffman. Jasper (4-0) is a tough game for anybody. This should (anything can happen, I know) follow the same pattern as the LaMarque game.
Lumberton (1-3): If they shock Livingston, this could be a good win potential for Huffman. Livingston put up some points on Needville and Huffman struggled to do that.
Splendora (1-3): Splendora wants this to be a rivalry game, and I get it. They will see Vidor and Livingston before this game and if they can put something together, it is possible this will be the first team Huffman sees with a winning record. Potential to be a good win.
Vidor (2-1): Lost to Jasper. Jasper is real good in my opinion. Bay City and Brazosport shouldn't have been as close as they were. This will be the first game with the potential for a great win.
Livingston (3-2): Decent chance Livingston and Huffman are playing for the DC this game. They give up some points against middle of the road teams, Huffman hasn't yet. This could be a great win.
This sure was a long post to just say "Yeah, Hagar...you right."
It wasn't as close as the score indicated.
Madisonville. 7-3-0-6. 16
Livingston. 7-7-7-0. 21
move to 3-2(Should be 4-1). Enters bye on three game win streak.
That district losing streak is ending this season.
Close games killing you, ha, you act like you've been in an OT game on the road in a hostile environment with the other team playing some horrendous rain dance song with a purple ballerina. 😁
That offense doesn’t need a bunch of plays when it is ran right. There is a reason why you see simple qb keeper busting it for 25 yards on 3rd and long. The offense is about execution and repetitiveness with little wrinkles. Vidor does it better than most.
