Halletsville has a solid team and used some creative/trick play calling that was impressive. The RB Brooks was good but not spectacular in my opinion. He was a bigger weapon punting the ball. He pinned Diboll inside the 5 on multiple drives. Halletsville has a good shot at winning Region 3 but I did not walk away thinking they would challenge for the state title. Hope they do though. 

Out of who's left; who will they play for the Regional title?

Extremely bad decision in that situation for there to not be anybody back deep, no matter if they've been poochin, squibin, onside kickin all night........you have to know the situation and apparantly it got the best of them.  However, EC was not supposed to be played this tight anyhow.  Yoakum definitely exposed a weakness in EC and got after their tails all night long.   How much is EC losing and what does this program look like going forward?  Losing the TB will hurt, but how many more studs will they come up with before next year to replace him?

Talked with one of the Yoakum family members that were at the game, they said it looked like EC was lulled into a false sense on the kickoffs. They could not understand either why no one was back. Bad decision anyway you look at it. 

Thank you, guys for the memories.

Answer this for me. What the heck happened?

Yeah if we don't take them seriously we could be wishing we did. Just have to play our game.

They are a 3rd place team, and 3-2 in their district. EC will be up 28-0 by the end of the 1st.

A little trivia. In 2016, Yoakum was the third place team and they ended up at Jerryworld against Mineola. Just saying.

I've got family from that area and Yoakum is a different team from year's past. McGregor had the wheels come off. One thing to remember is that once the playoffs start it's a brand new game. They got to this point for a reason.  Same as us. Should have played them in 2018, but o well. Looking forward to a good game. Safe travels my friends.
