Do some research for us, and get back to me when OF made the playoffs in football 1,2,3 times in a row. 
 

Actually, from 2004-2023 - post every time we made the playoffs, also distinguish our place 1-4. 
 

I’ll wait. 

No one is going through all that, there were plenty of times Orangefield didn’t make the play offs because they were in 4A and the teams were better overall compared to they are now. If you’re stuck in a district with Silsbee and West Orange who are usually both top 10 in 4A. 2018 we didn’t even make the play offs in 3A as the biggest school in 3A, barely did this year. Don’t even say this district is hard either. If we were 4A now or in the next 2 years we wouldn’t win a game. Orangefield doesn’t have the players we did in 2020-22

I mean wasn't it last year they broke the all time leading rushing record? Lmao

Yeah because of Cameron Dischler. He had 2300 All purpose yards and like 300 carries. They would’ve smoked the record in 2021 but were in 4A instead of 3A. 2021 team beat Anahuac 46-13 first game of the season. Anahuac won this district last year and also went three rounds deep in the playoffs. 2021 had some bigger kids and more talented ones.

embarrassing.

If he gains some weight he could be a great tightend. I asked my son about how much he weighs and he’s saying around 190ish. 
With that being said. You have freshman QB who is 6’4 190LB and can throw a tight spiral 65 yards. Any football team in this area, big school or small school would love that. Yet we are still running the ball. 

Yes, but he's just very inexperienced right now. I saw him throw some good balls but then fumble a ton of hand offs, there are other good quarterbacks coming up too so they may or may not move him because of his size. only time can tell though. if is moved to tight end he needs to live in the weight room.

Both teams were very good. It was a fun game to watch for sure. college football players on both teams.

You have identified the coaching problems with play calling. Do you think those “0” experience RBs carrying out their fakes and blocks impacts the performance? In the Slot T? Or just poor coaching? What plays do you think the coaches should call? 200 series? 300 series? 100s? Which plays do they not call?

Yes absolutely it does. good fakes you dont know where the ball is which is what the slot t is supposed to do and get 3-4 every play and run down the clock. the current backs now are young which is why i said 0 experience and didnt play last year or the year before. the slot t is a good offense if ran right like i said but you need a big offensive line which they're lacking. defense is small too. There are definitely plays and adjustments they could've made as coaches which would have helped them win more games this year, unfortunately they didn't.

Would hate to see him leave, He's been a good role model to my kids.  He does practice his convictions on the sidelines.

What exceptions are you talking about? To be top 4 in a 6 team district.

Peevey - Not leaving LCM/  He's got a stable base of athletes coming in and up.

Prouse would be a DEFINITELY NO in my book.

Yeah Peevey wouldn't leave LCM, he just got there. Prouse in my opinion is a better option than Smalley is. Smalley is a great guy, but not winning district as the biggest 3A isn't very good. It's not like he hasn't had the athletes either. For the last two-three years he's had some of the best athletes in Orangefield. Offense needs a completely new rework and better play calling if you want to win in the playoffs against better teams. Until then nothing will change.

Although I’m not a huge fan of the Slot T, Orangefield does run a lot of Power I, Iso. I wouldn’t say terrible.

Considering the fact the Bobcats have a brand new OL (no returners) with little to no experience, a new QB, two main running backs that didn’t run the ball much if any last year I would say that they are getting experience. 
 

i hope that the team got enough experience to win 4 of the 6 games left. 
19-7 loss vs a good Woodville team is improvement. 
take away a few turnovers & it’s a whole different ball game. 
 

we shall see. 

Slot T has been ran for a while, it works when ran correctly and good fakes with good offensive play calling. Unfortunately OF offensive play calling isn't the best and hasn't been in a while and are terrible with fakes. same mistakes every week with no fixing is coaching issues. OL is mostly juniors and seniors with like two sophomores I believe, just undersized even in 3A. QB situation is tricky, he's definitely thrown some good balls, but not sure if coaches will keep him at quarterback or put him at tight end with his height in the next years. I agree there are 0 running backs with experience on the team. how its looking now isn't pretty, thank god they aren't in 4A. If that 2021 team they had were in 3a it would've been real trouble
