I saw one of the recruiting websites that listed him at 4.53..... for what that is worth.

When you say the alltime Southeast Texas team, that is a tall order. I don't know if any of the current players make the list although some may eventually. You would have to be talking about people like Kevin Smith, Little Joe Washington, Bubba Smith, Steve Wooster, Frank Middleton, Jerry Ball, Mel Farr, Shane Dronett, Gary Hammond, and so on.

I think they will be in the hunt. If they can get some improvement on offense, they have a good shot at the playoffs.

All polls are filled with overrated teams. If they weren't, no one would ever move up or down. No team would ever lose to a team rated lower than them. Look at any polls that you wish be it for fun like the setxsports.com poll or professional polls such as the Associated Press polls for high school and colleges. All of them change each week. Why? Because some team (or teams) did not perform as expected and were upset. That is the nature of polls and always will be.

So the people that voted on the polls have been right 10 out of 12 times when ranked teams play each other. But how can that be when the voters obviously have no idea what they are talking about since they don't go by won/loss records?

Yeah. I had answered two posts about the same question of record over poll rating. One was the power rating and the other being the setxsports.com poll. I got misfused on which one I was responding to.

Nederland is currently rated at #4 with PN-G being rated at #6. What are you talking about?

Anyone can see that Mosley is the offensive leader of the team. It is the same with most teams that they have a "go to" player or two. Nederland's quarterback, Alex Moshier, has already passed for almost 500 yards and 3 touchdowns and is about 50 yards from being the passing leader in 22-4A. When Mosley was rushing for 318 yards against Waller, Moshier passed for almost 200. There is no doubt that Mosley is a team leader but I think it would be foolish to think if you stop Mosley, the game is over.

Take Hwy 287 out of Woodville where it splits from Hwy 69. Another 18 miles or so and you are there.

With the ranking system, it is not that difficult. The voting (ranking system) is done based on an opinion on who can beat who, not record. This is especially true during the early season when teams are playing such a wide spectrum of other teams. Some schools are playing very good 4A or 5A schools but losing while others in the same district are playing 3A schools that may not be so good but getting a win. Dayton is ranked above Lumberton also and they are only 1-2. I would bet that when they open district play in two weeks, Dayton will be favored to beat Lumberton. Dayton at 1-2 will be better than Lumberton who will likely be 3-0 in the eyes of most people ("most people" being defined as anyone living outside of Lumberton). In the opinion of the majority of the setxsports.com voters, Ozen will beat Lumberton when they play. It is as simple as that, so they are ranked higher.

They seem to have improved a bit.

Seventy-one yards and 48 seconds to go.

I think BC is better off with the WO-S touchdown actually.

Touchdown WO-S.

I don't understand why the BC coach let the clock run.

What to do? What to do? Fourth down and 13 for WO-S at the BC 17 yard line.

And yet another 3 and out. WO-S punts to the BC 40 yard line with a return to the WO-S 46.

WO-S punts to the BC 48.. a 13 yard punt.

This might make it a little easier. [Hidden Content]

After all the crowing from Lumberton, I would certainly hope that a 4 point preseason win over a 3A school is not the end of it..............

Does this mean the discussion is back on topic? How far back do they go, how many games have they played and what is the record?

I feel bad for the team. If that is a true story, then it is a terrible blow for them. There has to be a line of what is acceptable behavior. The kids need to know that being a football player is not a status symbol that can overcome laws, rules, etc. I think it is a disservice to the players that do not break rules but who must sit back and watch what goes on around them and see who has privileges. It can be shocking to see how some schools or coaches will go to cover up even serious criminal behavior. Whatever the situation is in OF, I congratulate the OF coach for standing up for what is right. Good luck to them in their game.

Sterling vs. Central Dayton vs. Friendswood Kashmere vs. LC-M Jones vs. Vidor Lumberton vs. Bridge City Silsbee vs. PN-G Ozen vs. Seguin
