The more I look at this region, the more I see the side of the bracket that #1 from your district and our district will go to is crazy...that is going to be murderers row.....

I don't think so. Y'all will win every game in R2 by 17+. 

Watched last night. #14 for Crosby is a dude! Kid was impressive. I was hoping PAM would look the part but I went away from the game thinking this season will most likely finish like last. 3rd round loss vs LV. Overall that is a successful season and one to be proud of.

Benching 725lbs for 12 reps while cleaning a fish and talking on the phone about a turnaround.

He is the only guy I've ever seen catch Alaskan rainbow trout out of the San Jacinto.

14.2 ok?  Seriously worried about this guy. Hope those Bullreds are running or its just another work turnaround this year 😁

He is ok. I saw him in the gym the other day on my way to Whataburger.

For the enrollment theorist out there:

Guyer: 2,600+ students 

Aledo: 1,500+ students 

 

 

Aledo is 1900 give or take some. I think the 1500 number does not include the freshman campus. 

We have a lot of work to do. Especially on defense. Plus our special teams isn't exactly smooth either. Right now, this isn't a state championship team. But if we get some of our issues cleaned up, then I'd agree with you.

Best thing Smoaky has going for them is when you return to a topic you've already reviewed, it will automatically take you back to the spot in the thread where you last left off reading. It makes going in and out very convenient. 

But for the most part their mods are quick to ban.

14.2 is my entertainment as I watch the phased evolution of his outlook.

Phase 3 - Meet with Coach, gave him a piece of my mind. Let him know how to run the program and gave him my expectations. If he listens then maybe we win 2 games

My interpretation of phrase 3. 

For those that start today and if they were to make it to state. That would be 20 weeks of football! Thats a lot of football. 

This would be my list

Week1- McKinney vs Longview

Week2- South Oak Cliff vs Lancaster

Week3- Manvel vs Angleton

Week4- Lake Belton vs Killeen Shoemaker

Week5- Edinberg Vela vs PSJA North

Week6- Mansfield Timberview vs Birdville

Week7- College Station vs Cedar Park

Week8- Abilene vs Lubbock Cooper

Week9- Aledo vs Denton Ryan

Week10- Barbers Hill vs Port Arthur Memorial

Week11- Midlothian vs Red Oak

We all know about the top guys that are going to be making plays this fall. Which players from your team are under the radar that people need to pay attention to?


*Bonus points if you post highlights!

For those that did not have spring ball. When is there start date?

If DeSoto AND Cedar Hill drops it's really going to get interesting in the region especially with Lancaster right next door. I hear Longview might toe the 6A line. Will also have to see if the UIL keeps Lufkin north or shift them south in 5A D1. 

Never gets any easier moving classes. Always run into another strong program. Thats why I think TX football is so elite, quality programs at all sizes. 

Interesting that the distinction was made for 6A D1 and D2. Since they are not pre-divided its more of a guessing game.

imo, no. they are other players of recent to compare him to. no offense, but earl too old to be compared to a kid still in h.s. school. even though kary vincent played corner thats a good comparison and that might be too old lol.

 

How is Earl too old lol? I'm talking about WOS Earl & Aledo Gillespie. High school versions.

I think it's close. Speed and physicality. Special teams too. I looked it up and says Earl is 5-10. Maybe... standing on a 2x4. Lol

The kid just makes plays. Great against the run and plays with the right mentality. Plus you'd figure he has good football IQ. His dad is the defensive coordinator for TCU. 

Hey WOS fans, I need your help. Is it fair to compare this player to Earl Thomas? Says he's 5'11 but I dont think so lol.

Been watching a few of their games on YouTube, they were damn good last season. Alot of youth too, felt like the whole team was a majority of sophs and juniors. The freshman starter at RB and freshman starter at CB from last season are going to be VERY good! 

I don't want to hype R4..... BUT..... If there was going to be a year where they made it to state, this is about as good as any. Honestly cheering for them.

Exactly! After I told him that his exact words to me were "I appreciate that, and I respect the hell out of you for coming to me first." before we watched film over the offensive system he's going to run this year.

What's even funnier is the other day when he walked over to the senior citizen fans who go to every practice and workout and want to fire the coach after every loss and said "What are your concerns, ask me anything you want?". These are the guys who will tell a kid's parents "That boy can't play dead in a western." so you can only imagine the stuff they said. Coach Willis stood over there in that brutal sun and answered every question they had, I liken that to Coach P showing at at the park in Barrett Station to make sure people weren't trying to steal his kids. I'm sure Coach Willis never had to deal with narcissistic parents at Cedar Park or C'ville Heritage and Coach P never had to go to the hood in Corpus to keep his kids from being swiped. Some coaches adapt and some don't. We'll see how it works out. 

So you didn't move?

Yup. Definitely a changing of the guard. 

How many seasons in a row does a team need to underperform before they lose status?

2022/2023 high school enrollment 

Aledo 1524

Carthage 823 

Our enrollment is higher than that.

I am not a Carthage fan but I would narrowly pick Carthage over Longview also.  

And that's cool. Carthage definitely had the better QB and coach but I think Longview was better in the trenches and skill positions. #5 for Carthage was a baller but I don't see him going off against the LV secondary. What makes Carthage so good in my eyes is their advantage with size and athleticism. I don't think that would be the case against the Lobos.
