Huffman special teams showing up again. They've already had a fumble on punt return and allowed a punt return for a TD

Huffman vs West Fork and Crosby vs. Barbers Hill.

The final score was 42-27. It was actually 34-27 with 2 minutes left in the game and all Huffman needed was a stop to get the ball back but couldn't get it. Huffman is atrocious on defense and special teams. You can't gauge Shepherd by this game because they probably won't play another team this bad defensively all year. Huffman gave away at least 3 offensive possessions on special teams (1 onside kick, 1 fake punt, and another mental mistake where a kid just watched the ball lay on the 10 yard line on kickoff return rather than falling on it. Just terrible coaching on special teams. They looked completely unprepared. Offensively they are explosive, but it doesn't matter if you can't get the ball or keep people under 40.

It was pretty ugly all around for Huffman. The center rolled the ball to the QB all night and they couldn't even really run any plays because of it. Their defense is as bad as advertised. It's going to be a long year for them.

Dang that is tough. That changes the whole district potentially. That kid is one the best in the state (definitely in 4A). Hopefully he can come back but not sure it's worth it with his future being what it is.

Well practice started a couple of weeks ago so do you know if they are all playing?

1.Bridge City / Lumberton 2. Lumberton / Bridge City 3. Vidor 4. LCM 5. Huffman / Livingston 6. Livingston / Huffman 7. Liberty Bridge City should be the favorite with Breeden leading their defense and their QB coming back. Vidor could sneak up a spot or 2 if all baseball kids stuck with football again. They were pretty tough last year as a young group. I don't know much about LCM this year but knowing Huffman, Livingston and Liberty, I feel like they have to be ahead of them. Huffman lost way too many players on defense not to mention their QB. They will take a massive step backwards. Poor Liberty

Awfully quiet in here. Where's missingband or whatever his name is? Like I said Falcons89, BTA.

Yep. Barbers Hill is still playing last time I checked. We are just not nearly as obnoxious as BC fans. One of my best friends has a son that plays in your district so I get to hear all about it.

You're a little confused. I don't know a single person that lives in Kilgore. I'm happy that BC is finally playing someone that's gonna smack them around. Their fans (on here at least which is probably not a great sample size) have been fairly obnoxious and quick to make excuses (see LCM thread), while simultaneously not acknowledging the only reason they beat Huffman by 1 point was because their starting QB didn't play. So yeah not a Kilgore fan I just know what's gonna happen today.

They share 2 common opponents. BC LOST to LCM. Kilgore literally kicked LCM's a$$. And if you're calling 28-7 competitive I'll just check out now because we aren't starting from a place I can debate. I'll check back after the game.

If I get your point (and I think I do) no one should be confusing BC as a team that requires an opponent as good as Carthage just to obliterate them. They are a slightly above average team at best and they are about to play a great team. This will not end well for them.

I wouldn't miss this game for anything. Looking forward to sitting on the Bridge City and watching people's reactions and listening to their excuses. Kilgore is going to OBLITERATE BC. I'm betting they don't score. I would honestly feel comfortable giving up 42 points.

I can't wait to watch this historically great defense against Kilgore next week! Great job Cardinals! It's been a great run Kilgore but you have now run into the best defense you have ever faced! I'd be surprised if the UIL even makes Bridge City show up to play this one. I mean it's pretty much beneath them at this point.

Agree to disagree. BC would not have beaten Huffman if they had their QB. Anyone that has seen that kid play knows he makes an easy 14 point difference in that game (BC won by 1 point).

I guess we will see. I have no dog in the fight either way. I saw a bunch of people commenting on Navasota's tough schedule so I took a look. It honestly didn't look too tough to me. Tougher than BCs? Yes. Tough enough to say they are way more battle tested? Not in my opinion. Bridge City's first 3 games are pretty laughable for sure but they are a solid team. Like I said earlier I think all 4 teams from this district would have beaten Chapel Hill.

Chapel Hill was not the Chapel Hill of old. Every team that made the playoffs in 10-4A would have beat them. BC will beat Navasota as well and then it's over. Kilgore will beat them by 28+ That is not to discredit them in any way but Kilgore is just a different beast.

I'm hoping BC wins because I'm gonna buy a ticket and go sit in Bridge City's stands to watch them play Kilgore. Keep this energy up BC.

Anybody want to elaborate on what the hell this is about?

Are you guys talking about the same kid? I thought we were talking about #1 from HJ? Are you talking about #0 from LCM?

That's what I was saying. There are a lot of good athletes in this district to be throwing that around in my opinion.

"arguably the best athlete in the district" You're right. I'm sure there's many people that would argue that.

Huffman has been doing that all year. They'll have spurts when they struggle on offense and then score 21 points in 10 mins.

I hope LCM for Huffman's sake but my eyeballs tell me Lumberton is better.

LCM had a harder preseason schedule. They obviously have lots of common opponents in district, but in my opinion not too much can measured by making that sort of comparison. Both teams beat Liberty badly, LCM squeaked by HJ, Huffman blew them out. Do you think Huffman is feeling better about their chances because of that? The answer is no lol. LCM is and should be a slight favorite. Neither team is superior enough to make a bunch of dumb mistakes and win. It really will be as simple as who executes better on Friday. They are very evenly matched.
