Regis was pretty athletic. They were throwing endzone fade balls to him and he won most of them

True. He was good. Still is. Just found a better fit for himself. Very proud of him.

I'm gonna leave my personal weekly district rankings the same because everyone won their games.

1. PAM
2. GCM
3. RSS
4. LP

PAM only led 13-7 with 73 total yards in the first half against a tough Lufkin D. But, they took control in the 2nd half to pull away. GCM was also in a tight battle with BWB. But, pulled out the win at home. Can't get much closer than RSS & NC. If I remember correctly, RSS had to score near the end of the game to win on the road. But, they did. LP had a tight first half on the island, and only led 21-19. But, they made adjustments and turned it on in the second half to cruise. Defense still needs work. OL appears to be coming together better.

Some tight games. I expect we'll be in for a lot of these, and I still think tiebreaks will come into play at the end. I don't have any idea what the tiebreak rules are this year in the district. But, I hope Berneathy is keeping them in mind just in case.

Agree with your picks and especially since LP could be either one.

Fun looking back at some of the posts towards the beginning of this thread 😂

Mine are still holding. My thoughts about the LP D and OL are still dead on, as are my thoughts about Lufkin and PAM D's. I also think I was the only one voicing my thoughts that GCM would be a PO team, and neither Beaumont team would make it to the PO's. Still early though, and I still think tie breaks will be involved. I wish I knew what the tie break rules were for this year.

Good morning my people, beautiful Saturday morning I like to call Victory Saturday for those that win 😎

I was happier with the LP D. GCM scored on a TD return on a fumbled snap on the Dawg’s first play from scrimmage when Simon was out & a Soph mishandled the snap, and then the D gave up 2 more scores in garbage time. Other than that, the D only gave up 14 points to a senior heavy GCM squad with a pretty good QB, and some speedy receivers. You never know what to expect when a Hurts is the OC. So, I could see improvement—which is a plus.

As far as the O, with an all backup OL, they took control of the trenches and played really well. There were very few negative plays.

I think the district is lining up about how I expected to this point with PAM and the 2 LP’s in line for PO spots right now. I still think GCM may be in line for the 4 spot. Especially if RSS QB is out for any length of time.

But, still a lot of games to play. LP will need to come to play against BWB. They’ll have had an extra week to prepare.
