Hardin (43) @ East Chambers (21) - FINAL

[TXHORN_ET]

The famous HD Horseman must be taking the short drive to Hardin and turning it loose like never seen before.

I was close on the score! 

the boys are different over there this year.

Another impressive stat from last night. Hardin scored TD's on all 6 of their possessions last night. (I don't count the last possession that was a one play kneel down to end game)

No question in my mind who the district MVP is this season. Trevor Jones. Case closed

The score wasn't a reflection of whether the game was close or not.  EC scored on a 70+ yard flea flicker about 50 seconds into the game.  Then Hardin rattled off 35 unanswered.. eating up most of the remainder of the game.  It was a demoralizing display onto the EC d-line.  There was zero answer.  Hardin even got a couple big yard penalties.. that were completely erased by the next snap or 2.

I'm a believer.  I had doubts because it's hard to gauge based on a bad preseason schedule.. but the last couple weeks have shown me that the hornet offense is a problem.

Congrats CT and Hardin.  This has to be a record breaking ride thus far, no?

How large is Hardin's OLine?  1 poster mentioned a massive size difference in EC and Hardin upfront. EC is often a bit undersized on the d-line, but the claim was a 100 lb differential.  Hyperbole or pretty accurate?

I imagine this year will be special.. Depending on matchups they can make a deep run… There will be a few teams in the region that will be able to slow down that offense…

I'm telling you guys, if Jones stays healthy, Hardin is going to have the best season in the history of their program. Anytime a coach who runs this offense is able to match it up with the proper personnel, it's a real problem at all levels. Hardin will not have an issue until they match up with a team who can scheme to stop this offense and make them play defense more than 5-6 times a game. From where I am sitting, it may be 2-3 rounds deep before they find that type of competition. 

On a side note, Jones is an absolute baller. Stud.

Hardin has really good size on the Oline but EC is pretty light defensively. 

The advantage was greatly shown last night.

Hardin basically played "bully ball". Several "tush pushes" last night as well.

Is that you, Jones?

[AggiesAreWe]

Even though Jones didn't get into the endzone last night, he made some really tough runs. 

But what sets him apart from most players is how well he plays at linebacker. He was very instrumental on that side of the ball as well. Tough hard nosed player who routinely puts himself in position to make a play every play.

Like I said, district MVP.

Not unless he’s been posting on this site since he was 9.

It was a joke.  I know he's not on here posting about how much of a stud (player) he is.

All jokes aside, Hardin is no joke this year.

Is Hardin going to go into the playoffs at 10-0? Seems fairly probable at this point. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a state ranking in their future. These last two wins have been pretty impressive 

They should. They knocked off the 2 teams that would challenge them directly for the district title so at this time by default you could pencil them in as champs.  The only 2 teams that I can see that would give them any trouble at this point before playoffs is Coldspring and possibly Buna.

Seems like a lot of "firsts" for that program in Hardin

[kirkwood29]

Very impressed with the #0 RB at Hardin as well.  Jones is very good but so is this 0, who scored the first 4 TD's for Hardin.

Negative, just a guy who appreciates a hardnosed RB/LB country boy type football player.
