i noticed 2 major missing pieces in the win vs. New Caney for GCM.  Their Kicker and #23 were missing from the game?  Any idea what happened to them?

I'm not much on predicting games. Think Lufkin and Goose Creek Memorial still have a lot on the line for a playoff spot.  Galveston Ball sure didn't look like a team that scored 31 against LaPorte earlier in the year, and more like the team who had lost 31-3 the week before at home to New Caney. So don't put much stock in Lufkin's 56-0 win last Friday over a Ball team that didn't want to be there. This district certainly has had unexpected surprises from week to week and these next two weeks are very pivotal to which teams can make the playoffs or not.

A lot of people are using La Porte as a comparison for different things. For the record, La Porte just got their D personnel back for the PAM game. Then, they preceded to lose their NT during that game. I don’t know his status.

LP had to shuffle their D, and many D players were having to fill in on the O as LP lost their entire OL in Games 1 & 2.

Any comparison using the LP D before the PAM game is moot. LP even had Simon and Reynolds playing LB in addition to their normal positions against GB because they were so banged up.

LP has been through the injury wringer this year.
