I saw a couple of very obvious BWB TO's that weren't called on some Facebook clips this morning. Some nice home cooking. But still, LP D is not anywhere near typical. LP needs this bye week bad. Maybe, they can get some health back. Clips I saw I noticed quite a few with only jerseys and shorts on.

Just glad they came out with a win. Sometimes games like these can light a fire. BWB came to play like they always do against the Dawgs.

Can't take any game lightly. This district has a lot of very good, young talent. Teams are going to be good for a few years with some talented playmakers it looks like.

I don't know how it will turn out this year. But, the prospects for multiple teams having very good runs & 9-5A being one of the best districts in the State next year as these young men grow look very good.

Some dynamic playmakers.

+1

What’s your ranking for this week 

I'm so confused, I don't have a clue. 🤣

For a snapshot after this week, I'd lean towards:

1. PAM
2. BU
3. LP
4. BWB

PAM D dominant. BU looked like they were on fire. Whether it was a one game thing, or more, I don't know. But, they looked darn good last night. LP just because they found a way to win a tough road game with an all BU OL against a good team with an extra week to prepare. BWB because they seem to be better than what I saw earlier in the season. But, all this might change next week. NC didn't play after their emotional win, have an extra week to prepare, and have been right there multiple times. I just don't know if they have some of the dynamic playmakers like the other 4 yet.

Who would you put above them at 4? RSS struggled with Ball, and their QB1 played.

I wouldn't have only one team there, it would be a tie of some sort.

That's waffling. 😁

Pick one.

There's literally a high probability of a tie in this district for 4th place, if you know the tiebreaker system you let us know.

I wish I knew the system. I was even thinking there might be multiple ties at different levels. Have NO clue how that would work, Would you break the first tie first, then move to the next, or what? 🤣😂😕

I can see that 4 for sure 

[BMTSoulja1]

1. Port Arthur (who will be able to pop them?  At this point, I don’t know)

2. Laporte (they seem to not be as good as I originally thought they’d be to start the year, but they are still a good football team)

3. Beaumont United (if they play like they are capable every week, these guys will be a tough out for even LaPorte and PA)

4. Goose Creek ( again, a good football team that could  beat every other team that’s NOT PA or  LaPorte.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Anyone know what week playoff spots would start to be clinched?

About 2 weeks for 1 and maybe 2

Sounds about right. You should only need 4 wins to guarantee a spot. 4 wins by two teams would knock out some of the possible tiebreakers. I think 5 wins by two teams would eliminate tiebreaks for them unless there was a head-to-head needed between those two teams for seeding position. I think PAM can get there first because y’all’s Bye is later.

I’d have to sit down and look at who could beat whom, and what it would mean to be sure. Right now, with PAM following LP opponents except for Lufkin, some teams are picking up two losses back-to-back.

It’s going to be hard to keep PAM & LP from making PO’s at this time. Both only need one more win to pretty much lock up a spot. The rest will be duking it out.

BWB’s loss to GCM really hurt them.

What about New Caney? You know, the team that has beat United.

There’s all kinds of scenarios with them still. I started looking at some of this today. Big game this week. Really, the PAM/BWB tilt is the least impactful game this week.

If I am over this infection by Thursday and feeling up to it, I'll be at Randall Reed for Lufkin/NC.

At worst I'll watch it on TL.

I wanted to try and see some of GCM/RSS. But, I don’t see where it will be on anywhere. Big game as well.

No games are done at Stallworth for whatever reason. Sometimes Vype but that's hit or miss.

It's like the Goose Creek district wants no games streamed there except if visitors have a broadcast entity and then they are not very accommodating. 

Trust me, I have been there to broadcast games in the past.

I know TL no longer has a contract with them.

After this week, it’s possible that 1 team will be virtually eliminated, and 3 more could be on life support with 3 losses. It will be a little easier to calculate scenarios next week. Someone will probably get into PO’s with a .500 record.

I wish TL would update their page to show current contracts. It’s apparently way out of date because they still showed BISD schools, and you mentioned they haven’t had a contract in like 2 years.

I'll be watching it. I got NC over Lufkin straight up.

Yes, it definitely needs updating.

Off the top of my head, these are the coverage area teams that currently have contracts with Texan Live:

Barbers Hill (still kind of count them)

Channelview

Crosby

CE King

Humble ISD (Atascocita, Humble, Kingwood, Kingwood Park, Summer Creek)

New Caney ISD (New Caney, Porter, West Fork)

Montgomery ISD (Montgomery, Lake Creek)

Splendora

Spring Woods

Nederland

Huffman

Silsbee

East Chambers

 

All those contracts are for home and away games.

With Nederland doing their own home games via student led stream, I don't see TL being with them next season.
