To finish the season ranked in the top 10 in the state is a very nice accomplishment for all of the teams that made it. Now it's one game at a time, either win or go home and hang the gear up 'til next season.

That's about 29% more passing than a few years ago, with not too too much exaggeration. Every now and then they'll break one free for a long gain. Their half time show was interesting though as I recall, for whatever that's worth, as well as the student section sitting next to the band, which is typically pretty good. Hope for no injuries.

You're very probably right. Wharton has improved in the last few seasons but not that improved.

This could be a close game, but I'll go with SIlsbee. Sweeny, Bay City, Wharton, El Campo used to be a pretty good football area. West Columbia too.

Jimmy.

WOS by 2 TDs. 28-14

LP in a close game; hopefully no untimely penalties or mistakes.

Horns, by a TD, maybe 2.

RoughneckGuy been watching too many Seinfeld reruns, thinks 1970.

It was an odd sort of game; more like a scrimmage. There were perhaps 3 punts the entire game, all other 4th downs were just another down, regardless of field position. Dayton's promising season fell apart on them, but their young QB and running back (#33 is reportedly a freshman) look pretty good. Dayton's HC apparently got a little frustrated, but their play calling was very good, as mentioned already on here, especially the first half. They ran a lot of time off the clock, even if they didn't score.

Any update on this game?

Thanks. (I'm out of likes.)

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. BTW, folks on another site are saying that the Dayton coach got in a PNG players' face for pancaking one of their LBs. That must have the penalty I missed right there at the end of the 1st half.

How did PNG get the ball back after the failed 4th down run? (At the end of the 1st half, before the last Jackson TD.)

Ssllllopppy game, regardless of the score.

They did run the clock down though. They should just run QB draws all night. Sloppy game.

All of them. Except that last one.

PNG D has been susceptible to QB runs all season.

+1

+ Me. I wasn't going to say anything, but since you did I'll second the opinion. Btw I got in trouble with a judge in Beaumont once when I was on jury duty, for my comments about preponderance of evidence. Edit: not trouble as in legal trouble, just a comment from him about my stated definition of preponderance.

A rule WAS broken.

Yes but it's too late. Perpetuating the lie now is difficult. Uh oh.

Wow! Congrats, Hardin Hornets!

(Just for the sake of further discussion.) I already made the PNG-Crosby comparison several pages ago. That was a definite rules violation. Reportedly, per the experts on this thread, there was no rules violation per se in this LCM-BC instance. So, this is only an ethics question. Also if LCM "returned" the watch, in whatever manner they said they returned it, then was it actual stealing? Or did they just borrow it. I guess you could say they did steal it for ~15 minutes or so. I agree with you, btw, but it was interesting yesterday at the weekly golf game I participate in, this was discussed among the group. All six guys in our group immediately sided with LCM. No poker game marked cards comparisons; it was mostly sign-stealing comparisons. "BC should have kept up with their equipment, etc, and acted accordingly." Edit, to rephrase the above: Rather than say they sided with LCM, I should say that they had no sympathy at all for BC.
