They'd beat Kilgore too. Just ask them

Rumor on the streets is that BC 2nd and 3rd string are gearing up to get lots of playing time... BC is predicting to be up by 3 or 4 scores by half.

If that was the case. This wouldn't even be a thread to talk about they'd be on the couch with us 2 weeks ago lol

I don’t understand all of the BC hate. 
 

When great football programs like BC and Newton step up and beat larger schools, why do we face ridicule? 
 

I could understand if we were trying drop down and face smaller schools, but we’re not.

No hate.  Just seeing it for what it is.  So, are you deny BC opted up to not have to deal with WOS, Silsbee and HF in district play?

If that were the case, then why did you guys schedule lower classification teams in non district?

One would think you would schedule up in non district.

People forget that we played in this same district in the previous alignment. These are teams that we were used to playing. 
 

Another thing is that BC has a really strong involvement with other groups that participate on Friday Nights. Our drill and band are some of the best in the area, bar none. The 4A D1 district is a lot better fit for “us.”  Schools like LCM, Lumberton, and Huffman have similarly supported marching bands, etc… there are some years that WOS doesn’t even field a band, and the participation by the ones that have bands is pale compared to the BC program. Places like HF can’t seat our band, drill team, and band parents in their visitor stands, much less the regular Cardinal fans. Our school is a better fit with the bigger schools, even if our attendance numbers don’t put us up there. 
 

I think we’d have finished no worse than second this year had we played in the local D2 district. Just my opinion.

I’m starting to like the idea of ramping up in competition as district play starts. What’s the point of going 2-3 in non district play and going into district play banged up, or even losing kids for the year in meaningless games? Is it a coincidence that our district record got way better when we stopped scheduling tough non-district opponents? I don’t know.

Your district record got better because of the district you now play.

I stated that out of the three schools that opted up, BC was the only one I really didn't have much problem with doing it since their numbers are close to DI anyways.

IMO, BC finishes no better than 3rd in 9-4A DII.

A BC vs HF game would have been a great game!

If it's not their team having success, then they're going to be negative.  They always find a reason to be negative and that's just society today.  But I'll say this, if your coach chose to opt up to Division 1 for WHATEVER reason, then you should back him 100%.  If other people don't agree, so be it.  It's what Bridge City decided to do and in the long scheme of things, they were successful doing it.  BC is now the 2025 Division 1 District Champions and Bi-District Champions.  So it's working for them.  If you're on here and you not from Navasota or maybe Kilgore, then beat it or support a SETX team that is successful.  There are plenty of schools loaded with potential in this area that can't figure it out.  Go back to the miserable thread about your team not making the playoffs or losing the first round and figure out a solution to excel!  Bridge City did!  Congrats Cardinals!

I thought you were joking about playing up against "bigger and badder teams". Idk what BC admin is feeding you guys. But its working. Clearly nieve.

Thats the problem. BC is not a great football program (yet) still well under .500 all time. And have at least 5 more winning seasons to be remotely considered as such (which could very well happen)... Now placing your name with Newton who is well over .750 and contenders every year is the problem... you clearly dont understand besides wins and loses or who you play against. Take the blinders off. Enjoy the success as you should but you're really being unrealistic

I’m not sure who you’re here supporting, because I don’t ever see you doing anything but say negative things about other teams. 
 

BC is a great program, we’ve got the hardware to prove it. We just haven’t always played up to our potential. The thing about haters is this… they’re always gonna find a way to minimize your accomplishments.  The same people who are complaining about us “running from competition” (even though we KNEW the D1 playoffs would be tougher) will complain again next year whether we stay D1 or are forced down to D2, especially if we keep dominating.

Dominating? Dominating what?

You're the loudest BC hater on this entire site. What's the backstory??

10-1*
 

Should be 11-0, except for the game for which LCM coaches were disciplined by the UIL for cheating. 
 

It’s pretty hard to be much more dominant than that. What else could we have done? Win harder?

I fight fire with fire. Not the biggest. Just the most honest with the biggest spoon. Unlike most im rooting for a BC win.

 

Im not sure a single thing I've posted about BC is fictional or non factual. Doesn't mean im hating im just pointing out the facts some or most are clearly turning the blind eye to. 🤣🤣

[DLivingston]

It sure seems like Cardinal Backer has a burner on this thread. Far too many of the same type arguments. 😆 Just be sure not to lump all of BC together with this message board crowd.

I'm curious as well about the "dominating" statement, are you referring to baseball?

This season only 3 of the 11 teams they've played have a winning record. Those 11 schools combined record is 50-65 so I'd say the competition has been average at best. Don't forget all of their non-district games were against 3A schools.

Hats off to the players and coaches on a great season so far, but I'd pump the brakes on "dominating."

[AverageJoe86]

I for one am really rooting for BC this week...so Kilgore can do the same thing to them that they did to LCM

PNG also has an undefeated record. 5 of their opponents they faced this year ended up with losing records.. only five had winning records. And PNG didn't opt up a division, either. I don’t get your point.  

What could we have done to dominate more?
