I still believe that Woodville, Diboll, and Coldspring will be battling it out for 1st.  If I’m honest, Woodville is the team to beat.  They looked really strong when I saw them in Diboll last season which Diboll won 21-14.  Could have gone either way.  I believe they returned a good bit.  Of course you have Coldspring who beat Diboll last year but I still left more impressed with Woodville’s capabilities.  
 

Palestine Westwood still has to prove they can actually be competitive against a true solid team.  They’ve had a couple weak opponents to start the season.  I believe Palmer will be the first true test to see where PW is this year.  The PW freshman QB will only get better and will be a fun one to watch.  Does he have the supporting cast? They’ve been at the bottom of the district last couple of seasons 

With what Diboll lost from graduation, it’s a toss up to where they land this year.  they’re not short of talent, just experience.  They get Coldspring and PW at home so maybe home field advantage gives them an edge  

I agree with the whole statement especially Diboll losing what they lost in graduation plus the next game Westwood will play... I'll try to see what info I can get out of that game Friday while watching our game against Hamshire-Fannett.

With Franklin in Diboll this week, you have to play mistake free and disciplined, that’s just to keep the score respectable, but to have a chance at winning, Franklin needs to have a few mistakes, more than a few miscues, for the Jacks to have a chance.   It would have to be an uncharacteristic night for them as that’s just not how they play.  Diboll usually plays Franklin tough and put together a good game plan, as everyone said already, just hoping for a clean injury free game

Nice write up. It would be great if district started up this week. Patience is not one of my strong suits. As mentioned before, this district should be fun to watch and my prayer is that each team continues throughout the season with minimal injuries and each team gives it their all! 

Great post!! Lol 😂 not mine either. I put my Coldspring football shirt out on Wednesday night. Lol 😂 I thought by putting it out, it would make Friday come on!! Good luck to your team

Let’s keep the conversation going.  These are this week’s results.  


Palestine Westwood 52

Palmer 44

PW was still questionable going into this game but this one raised some eyebrows. Their defense may be suspect so they may have to win by simply outscoring their opponents with what looks like a high powered offense 

 

no real surprises with the other scores 

 

Buna 24

Crockett 8

 

Orangefield 35

Shepherd 21

 

Liberty 17

Woodville 54


Diboll 13

Franklin 28

 

HF 30

Coldspring 8

 

Tarkington 37

Huntington 7

I’m not sold on Woodville at all. Their Defense is suspect and that’s an understatement. 2point conversions are atrocious and they make absolutely 0 adjustments on offense and defense so with that being said, this district is wide open. What say ye???

If you want a glimpse of the future of Woodville football you have to go back and watch the film of the playoff games against Cameron yoe, Rockdale, Grandview and Hitchcock. Woodville has had some amazing talent with more size and speed than what they have now. Franklin and Newton are good teams but not what they were.

I agree this is one of the smaller teams but there's probably more team speed and athleticism on this team than all those years. There's probably at least 7 or 8 guys on this team that can go. Even the guys up front are very athletic and agile

Sounds great, I will enjoy watching these guys at the college level. Who are some of the colleges looking at these kids.

I don't know but I'm sure the majority will play somewhere if they want to. All the hype around highly recruited players is overated sometimes. There's always some real ballers who just aren't recruited as much just based off things like "size". Doesn't mean they're not good players though.

What makes you think they are not what they were based off week 1-3....

Size is great to have but it is not all it takes to go to the next level. Deuce Vaughn of the Dallas Cowboys is proof of that 5ft 5

If truly have speed and athleticism you can play at the next level.

To Lions comment Neither Franklin or Newton are as good as they once were they are young and make too many mistakes.  I don’t see either winning state this year. Next Year maybe.

Don't agree with this simply because we started slow last year as well. These early non district games are for fixing mistakes and everyone has only played 3 games at the most. Franklin brought back 5/5 last season and 6/6 this season so they weren't to young last season with less experience as you claim. All I'm going to say is I wouldn't wanna play us week 5.

    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
