Surprised at how little "talk" this game is getting.  EC is a "mystery" ths year. Only one scrimmage and not much other than a "score" report from it on this site and a lopsided game against an opponent they have thoroughly dominated in scrimmages over the past years. 

No prediction here and again just find the lack of discussion a bit unusual.

A very good friend of mine who follows the Raiders was very impressed with HF.  He wished the Raiders played with as much heart as HF had.  They were outmanned, outgunned and to small and still gave the Raiders all they wanted.  If that was a one-off EC probably wins.  If that’s a permanent mindset, HF should take it, and they’ll have a good season.  This game will tell us a lot.

Yeah.. hard to tell after they beat Kelly because Kelly is… well not good to be blunt. Nonetheless I think HF gets the W this week.

I think their run game will be fine. #4 Thibs and #16 Reeves looked really good.  More concerned about the pass game. 

I think you could trot just about anybody out there against Kelly and look really good.  I'd rather have my #1 from last year with 1200+ yds as a sophomore against a 4A rival.. just call me weird.  🙃

A lot of the EC hype dissipated when the Beaumont kids who drove in daily to play for them left. 

Discussion should be limited because it causes some here to become triggered, so thats all I will say, but you are correct.

That may be the case, but as a former public school educator, I will state the following....If my child lived in Beaumont we would be in a car every morning traveling out to another district. When those options leave about 10 driving manageable districts that sure leaves EC as a viable option. 

I truly mean this...even if a high level D1 recruit, we are heading somewhere else.

The word I got (and this was "third hand" info from my Tark friend, nothing more) is that he was super talented but too small to play Beaumont 5A or 6A ball, so instead wanted to star on a smaller 3A team. I hear you about the sorry BISD academics but there were closer districts. He literally had to drive though very viable Hamshire Fannett every day to get to Winnie. It was totally for football.

Not trying to being argumentative or implying you are as well.  

I know nothing in detail about this specific situation, but will ask a hypothetical. 

If you were a kid with no connection to EC or HF, which would you choose in the present circumstances?   Facilities, turnover of coaching staff, etc.   It's just tough to choose HF over the past few years.  Now, that may be changing. 

However, I believe the young man you are referring to recently graduated and likely made the smartest move for himself.  

As an aside, I have tremendous historical connections to HF and in some ways its been sad to watch the demise of its athletic programs (and at times years ago I didn't mind it when coaching against them), but hope the new regime continues making the progress they have in the past few years.

I don't take you as argumentative at all. I appreciate someone who can have a dialogue without it devolving. Thanks for seeing I am not argumentative either. 

To answer the question directly, it depends on what the motive was. The original premise stated was "he went to EC to get out of BISD academics". If that's so, then the viable choice just for "academics" would clearly been HF, because its closer, actually adjacent to Beaumont. Not as far to drive.

Now, was the young man an academician seeking higher learning, or was he a stud (but quite small) running back that could not start in 5A or 6A, and wanted to play and excel in a smaller class like 3A?

    • No chance in hell that this pos is found guilty. 
    • After his silly conviction, President Trump has raised over 200 Million dollars!  The people are seeing through it!  Excellent!  
    • Let’s see if joe biden’s words about no one is above the law, made after the rigged trial of President Trump, rings true with his po💩son.  Hopefully, but I’m not going to hold my breath, they put the sorry sob in prison.
    • I liked his no bull crap attitude. He was a man of very few words. Extremely strong and freaky athletic!!! As close as possible to being the best offensive lineman to ever play the game. I hope his family finds peace without him!!! RIP #73
    • Chester, a small town in NE Tyler County.  A town that is seeing growth with the addition of a national chain store and a new school being built.  If you travel 287 toward Dallas from the Golden Triangle you have probably passed through Chester.  Things tend to stay pretty consistent and it is your typical small town.   A trip to state is the buzz around town, and the talk before church services begin on Sunday.  This year’s graduating class will number 11.  We don’t have a radio station that covers the Yellowjackets.  We are never a lead story on any of the news stations that broadcast to our community. With all that said, there is a closeness and sense of pride in our community.  Every community rallies behind their kids as they progress into the playoffs.  We are proud of our boys as they have represented our community well and with class. We invite you to follow our boys as they go to state.  We welcome the greater SETX communities as honorary Yellowjackets.  Tune in, watch live or come to Round Rock personally and join us in supporting the Chester Yellowjackets.  Go ‘Jackets!!! ⚾️💜💛⚾️🟣🟡⚾️💜💛⚾️
