purple reign

You're right. The biggest threat to Friendswood is Angleton's passing, not just to Jammer, but to Wesley Jackson, and the others too. Their run defense has been pretty good, except against La Porte. I can't imagine that if Steve Van Meter were still at Friendswood that Angleton would have the 6-game win streak. Not that there's anything wrong with Johnson, but Van Meter was special.

I just watched the 1st half of Friendswood vs Crosby and it appears that if Friendswood had played the 1st quarter like they did the other 3, they would have won the game. They made every mistake you could think of in that 1st quarter to go behind 19-0. They had several bad snaps, 2 turnovers and just did not seem ready to play. But the 1st mistake they made was scheduling a good team for homecoming. There's likely to be too many distractions. Angleton overdoes homecoming in my opinion. Thursday they even have a parade and a bonfire that night. I'm glad they play Kempner homecoming week here.

Angleton freshman A 28, Friendswood 17

Kempner lost to KP and Porter each by 21 points. That means they're who they are every year- not a contender. They will probably beat Pasadena and that's all.

Hasker has gotten the attention of the Aggies already. He's #30 on their list of the 2028 Top Recruits in Texas, the 3rd cornerback on their list. Top Football Recruits in Texas - 2028 | TexAgs Apparently, they don't know he has transferred to Angleton. His dad is an Oklahoma alumnus. Sean Simon from La Porte is also on the list.

They could have injuries since they seemed good in the 1st few games. But like I said, motivation makes you better.

Friendswood (2-3,0-2) will be visiting Angleton (5-0,2-0) Friday at 7PM. Friendswood is the closest district member to Angleton by far, being about 28 miles away. They should have plenty to motivate them with their backs against the wall after losing their first 2 district games to a couple of the better teams in the district. Also, Angleton has a 6-game winning streak going against them dating back to 2018, so revenge is also motivating them. Angleton is fairly healthy other than the 2nd string QB has been injured and hasn't appeared in the last couple of games. The 3rd guy has been getting reps in his place and the HC called up his son, big for a freshman at 6', 180 so that there would be 3 players available at QB. I did notice that they took out the starter, Duron in the 1st half against Pasadena, no need to risk getting him hurt. Duron is having a phenomenal year, both passing and rushing. He has completed over 78% of his passes for 936 yds and has run 17 times for 180 yds, a 10.6 average. Angleton has used 12 ball carriers, 5 of which are running backs with 1248 yds on the ground on 137 carries, an average of 9.1 yds/carry. The 2 most used backs, Neyland and Moore are a thunder and lightning combo, with Neyland being over 200 lbs. and Moore having 4.4 speed. This could be the first game this year that the starters have to finish the game.

Porter beat Kempner by the same amount as did Kingwood Park, 21 points.

I'm wondering whether they will show up. Their JV didn't in Angleton and the Cats JV played somebody wearing red. Surely they won't cancel a home varsity game. That's where they make their money.

Texan Live broadcast looks awful. No color most of the time and looks fuzzy.

and Porter.

Angleton will go up to Pasadena this week for an exciting game against the Eagles. jk I didn't think there would be a streaming option, but they added one kind of late:

It wouldnt surprise me any if that race ended in a three-way tie for 1st place.

How is District 12 shaping up? To me the picture is a total blur. You can't at this point even pick a favorite. Anderson beating A&MC was eye popping.

This is what I suspected would happen with Ball since Bennight and Jonah Williams left. They appear to have sunk back into the mediocrity we know them so well by. They haven't been the same since Hurricane Ike ravaged the island in 2008. They're lucky they were in a district in 2023 where all the other members were Houston ISD schools so they were able to win a district championship.

Pasadena may be worse than last year. They beat Austin 56-0 last year, so not as bad this year. Austin is listed in Texpreps rankings as the worst 5AD1 team in the state.

Did K-Park fix their defense in the off week? They had been allowing 40-60 a game but only allowed kempner 3. We'll find out this week when they play somebody with a better offense. LP back in the DCTF poll at #8. Massey says LP 46, KP 19.

Whew! Those Porter boys came to play, but in the end, Angleton woke up from their stupor an took care of business. I think the 1st 3 games were so easy that the Cats may have thought no one could challenge them. Porter had the ball for almost the entire 1st quarter. Porter's QB and RB were everything I had seen on video. They do have some talent. Angleton though only ahead 7-3 at the half, set the tone for the second half by returning the kickoff for a touchdown and everything went their way from then on. I would have liked to have heard Coach Brittain's half time speech. It worked.

it seems to me that the losing coach would already know beforehand that it would get out of hand and just forfeit. I'm not aware of anybody in college or pros that have the option of a running clock.

I just watched some video clips of Friendswood's QB, Brister. He looks impressive. Very tall, quick release, seems to be accurate.
