Yep, and I’m sure this gives Richland a lot of confidence after getting down by 25. They can say they never doubted they could come back but I’m certain it was more like play as hard as you can and see what happens. Between their defense making plays and BH handing it to them on a platter with so many 3 and outs and the onsides recovery that gave them momentum they really never lost. It was easy for anyone watching to get ahead of themselves. Lesson learned but we had already shown we know how to blow a lead. 
Hell we even had LaPorte 21-7 at one time and lost. Bh has a lot learn about holding a lead. Lesson learned! 

I can answer that. Both. 

I think with all the newer nice turf high school stadiums in the Houston area, that gives these colleges a way out of hosting. When I was in school, our playoff run went Kyle Field, Rice Stadium, Baylor Stadium.  The high school stadiums have come a long way. 

Brandon Prouse and his staff have quietly been building a program in the 'Ville. He has changed the culture since he arrived. These are river bottom kids who've had many obstacles to overcome  between the 2 River floods and countless hurricanes back to back to back. They have a certain toughness and he knows how to Coach that dog... Discipline is on full display as the kids enter/exit the field, hat under the right arm and single file down the sidelines. After the game the entire team and coaching staff went to the 50, raised their hats for the opposing school's song in a show of respect and then all huddled up and prayed together. That's exactly how it should be. Congratulations to The Pirates team, staff and community!

No need for lumberton fans to join in

For the most part, Lamar University is out of the high school business.

Most definitely! I learned one that surely I already knew. BH punched them in the mouth I’m sure harder than anyone all year. But on the other hand, I definitely didn’t expect Richland to roll over and take the beating in the 2nd half , but I’d expected BH to play a lot better to hold onto the win. Accolades go to #1 for carrying his team on his back to fight back. BH has no idea how to keep a big lead. The onsides kick after the score after halftime gave them so much momentum and hope. 
I’m selling crashing #1 from both sides making someone else beat me. #51 taking out two players every play. Crash from the outside as QB rides that handoff. If he pulls it and runs, QB may or may not make a big play but 1 ain’t beating me play after play. I’ve liked this staff and it’s easy to question calls after the fact but damn, I know football pretty well and what you were doing wasn’t working, wth keep doing thinking you’re going to get a different result. 1 and 51 hands down best players on the field yet we let them take over the game. 

You have to give credit to the Richland players and staff. They were down 34-7 in the 2nd quarter and did not give up. 

A tale of two halves…..Guzman (#5) did not play the second half and I think that hurt us.  Not that Farmer didn’t play well, but Guzman adds a spark and was making plays for the defense in the first half.  I’m told he had the flu.  Guess this was a reoccurrence since he was at the volleyball playoff game last weekend since having the flu last week.  IDK, it seems our best players could never consistently stay on the field throughout the season.  Our best players have to be tough and set the tone and the example for the rest of the team.  Other than Gaskamp this didn’t happen all season.  This was supposed to be our year, but without our best players the consistency evaded us all season.  It’s disappointing….toughness and accountability has to be built during the offseason.  We look to have a long way to go in the toughness category…..my opinion.

He wasn’t far off. It was a game of two halves. 

It's a great day to be an Eagle in these playoffs. Safe travels to and fro' and may we get a well-deserved victory!

All I care about tonight is Richland. 100% focus on that. A game at a time! 

Hats off to Needville! I didn’t see this one coming this week or maybe I just didn’t wanna see it. Either way, it’s been an enjoyable 15 yrs SETX Sports. 3 kids and now finally done! Time for the next chapter to begin!!! Good luck to all 409 teams playing tomorrow! 

Lumberton is playing it safe, not playing to win. Good example is Lumberton fair catching the kickoff after Needvilles 3rd TD. The kick returner had 15 clear yards in front of him and two blockers by his side but fair caught the ball. There are no more tomorrows in the playoffs. JUST GO!    

With more to follow from what I am hearing… 

100% for a fact. She won’t be their ace but she will be the best back up in the country lmao. 

She is. She plays for team USA and is their best pitcher. 

If you are a Rebel, then therefore, you must be racist.  Thank goodness the 13 colonies were Rebels. 

Finishing tied for 5th in State is a heck of a run.  Fulshear is definitely a solid team with only 4 losses all year  but it didn't appear BH ever hit on all cylinders in either game at regionals like they did against Friendswood. 
 
 
 

Yep, Fulshear was a 6A, almost right after the last realignment.  The most significant difference between the two offenses was that Fulshear was full steam ahead on swinging away; there was too much firepower from their outside hitters.  Difficult for BH's defense to pick up all those missiles being fired at them.  Overall, BH had a great run and beat outstanding teams in Foster, Friendswood, and College Station; not a bad showing.

Yes. They have almost 3000 kids now. 😳
That was a good game against Fulshear. Fulshear just had more firepower. Never a lull in their offense like BH had and their defense wasn’t letting anything drop. Congrats BH on a good run!

UIL allows HISD schools to opt and stay in one district. Until they do something to stop these schools, then other schools should be allowed to opt up. HISD uses it for the same reason, they cannot compete in other districts as a whole. Can Liberty and HJ compete in 4D1? Not sure, but I bet it's more competitive than playing in their current district. 

At least this will teach your team an important life long lesson. To tuck tail and run from challenging situations

HJ and Liberty currently compete in all sports from junior high up to varsity against Liberty, Huffman, Livingston, Splendora and Hamshire-Fannett. Football is the only district that doesn't look like that. 
So to me if there's no rule against it and they choose to move up, let it be. 

That’s exactly why I said”which team are we going to get”. “If we play our game”.  I’ll say it again “if we play our game” we can compete with ANYBODY in 5AD1.  “But which team shows up”?
