Sounds like he had an awesome year. I am not that familiar with the players in 21-3A and don't pull for any of the teams in that district anyway so I don't have a dog in the hunt. Dishon sure seems to get more press than Ramsey and perception is everything.

The last two comments pretty much hit the nail on the head. Purely going by statistics means nothing. It is like Coach of the Year. Often you will see a coach that brings a losing program up to the playoffs get the Coach of the Year. He may be 8-3 in the end and another coach might have ended 10-1 but is the fact that he took a team with a previously losing record to the playoffs generally shows a better overall job of coaching. If nothing but stats were used to pick players and coaches, why would there even be a vote? Just let a computer spit the all-district teams out. EDIT: For an example, look at Ron Mohica last year for Nederland. He was the defensive MVP for district 20-4A. I doubt that he was even in the top 4 tacklers on Nederland's team so how did he get to be MVP and on the PA News and Beaumont Enterprise's Super Teams? Because he completely disrupted offensive lines and often took on double and triple teams. Everyone else got the stats while to was taking on the whole offensive line. There is nothing in the stats that show that but the coaches that voted on the all-district teams sure knew it and gave him the MVP.

The Port Arthur TJ connection. How many coaches that have been associated with the old PA Thomas Jefferson have had successful programs. There is Todd Dodge at SLC, Stump at WB, Ronnie Thompson tied for first place his first year back in PA, Nederland's Larry Neumann came from TJ and Mike Owens was run off from TJ and then won state at Tyler Lee. Are there anymore?

Come on Central. Maybe somebody can salvage this weekend.

Game over. WO-S has the ball first and goal the 5 and can't push it in. 21-13 Giddings.

Dropped ball in the endzone. Giddings ball at the 5 yard line.

3rd and goal from the 1. WO-S loses 4 yards to the 5 yard line.

3:48 left in the game. WO-S at the 5 and down 21-13

First and goal WO-S at the 5 yard line.

Kickoff returned to the Giddings 35.

21-13 Giddings.

Reminds me of Nederland's play calling this year. Making good yardage all the way down the field so they see the need to change it up and go for the trick play..... and lose yardage.

Reverse by Thomas... loses 5 yards...Giddings ball.

4th and 3 at the 10 yard line. and a time out WO-S.

3rd and 1 at the 8 yard line.

2nd down and 13 at the Giddings 20. False start penalty.

WO-S returns a punt to the Giddings 17 yard line.

WO-S punts to the Giddings 7 yard line. End of the 3rd quarter.

Why what? Why ask why?

First down WO-S at the Giddings 43.

What a break for WO-S. Giddings goes for it on 4th down and 8. The break it up for a long gain to deep in WO-S territory but then fumble. WO-S covers the fumble and follow that up with a late hit by Giddings. WO-S ball on their own 38.
