[/quote]Everything that you stated about vidors line could be said about Kelly's to. Not saying vidor didn't have a better line than Kelly I'm just saying it seems like both teams offensive lines were very alike. Under rated, undersized, and fought till the end every play. Both teams also had a potent rushing attack it seemed like anyone with decent speed could have gone in the Kelly backfield and picked up significant yards.

Here's a stat i bet you can't say about the Kelly line. In every single one of Vidor's game the offensive line was out matches by atleast 50 pounds per player and 2 games we were outmatched 100 pounds per player. That means each player had atleast 50 or 100 pounds less than the guy in front of them and yet they were still dominating.

The fact that Kelly plays private school footbal means that it is highly unlikely they faced teams that out weighed them by 50-100 pounds, aside from the week they played Liberty they would have faced 300 lb Omar Tebo, and 270 lb Ryan Melton

Hate to disagree RobanaDana, PNG man handled Vidors O for 3 1/2 quarters until we got too conservative on offense. Not saying Vidors Offensive line isn't good, but don't think they were the best in SETX.
[/quote]
Hate to break it to ya but allowing over 200 yards on the ground in the first 3 quarters to a team that has one of there starters out isn't really man handling. Yeah yall won the game but yall didn't man handle our oline. What you did was you played stay at home football and your safety kept us from getting to the outside.

200 yards in 3 quarter? You guys rushed for 221 for the game, does that mean you guys only rushed for 21 yards during the forth? What starter was out??

Bolinger was out. He tried to play as you can see the 2 attempts but was still injured. And yes as many people have brought up we changed our offense in the fourth quarter when powell went in as the passer. So yes my numbers may be a lil off but if we didn't get 200 yards we were no more than 10 yards away from it.

[/quote]Okay? I never said we could have beat Vidor this year did I? (Although with the way we were playing at the end of the season I don't think y'all would have destroyed us at all) I just think that at each others own level both teams were undersized by alot and Kelly fared better. I'm not saying Vidor wasn't a great team, Vidor had a great season and i was pulling for them all season. I just think Kelly had a better season.


Oh and I am tired of everyones thought process that Kelly is playing nobodies because they are a private school they probably played about as many if not more D1 commits than Vidor did this year.

http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/hs/article/Feeling-undersized-the-norm-for-Kelly-linemen-2311742.php

Beaumont Enterprise story on how undersized Kelly's line was. Read the first sentence of the article then come back and tell me Kelly plays no one. Oh yeah and we embarressed his team 42-0 and put up 277 rushing yards WITHOUT our leading rusher get out of here with the idea Kelly plays weak D-Lines. How many Under Armour All Americans did Vidor's line dominate?

    • I wish I was as “smart” as you, so that I would know everyone’s views, as you think you do.
    • Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.
    • That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.  
    • Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.
    • No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
