No way DJ Dean or Kevin Shorter from Newton are not finalist on Offense. You have to be kidding me.

I do not know to much about those players, but Hopkins Montana and Fisk all did great against much tougher competition. It is not always about stats.

Didn't say it was about stats they can't help who they have to play but they showed up every friday and played and put up the numbers that deserve them the right to be finalist. If the coachs left Shorter in the game the whole time he would be mowing down records in the state of texas he only get about 12 carries a game and he still rushed for over 2000. He is better than Glen Roberts I will tell you that right now I have seen both play.

Same argument for the three I mentioned, Hopkins even played most the season hurt.

Biggest question is will Montana Q win either award? He was the Most Valuable overall player this year because he played well both ways, but was he the best in the area on offense? Was he the best in the area on defense? Maybe not either? Maybe both? Tough call.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Montana the only 20-4A guy to make it on the all state defense?

Incorrect.
Couron made 2nd team and Stampley made HM. So whats your point. We all know that All-State is so subjective. It is a great honor, but it's also voted on by folks who don't come down here and watch these kids.
I mean Dravanti Johnson was 4A All-State Defensive player of the year his senior year, yet he was second team All-District! The folks who saw him on a regular bases got it right. The folks who knew he was a 4 star UT recruit voted on that fact alone.

My personal oppinion is that Montana was a better defensive player than offensive and had he played only defense he would have put up huge numbers. That said his offensive accomplishments probably outshined his defensive accomplishments this season. Now did they outshine those of Mr. Fisk who I think is the main competition on the offensive side?

My best guess is he will win one of the two awards because the voters will not want his accomplishments to go without award.
If the WRS had an overall area MVP...Then it's hands down Montana Quirante.

    • Brewster….lmao. Watch that every time it’s on.    Great post. 
    • A few Board of Regents agree for sure. Some administrative changes were based in large part on those moves.  Sam Houston is the only one this remotely did any service and of course they moved on as well. 
    • The greatest point on all of this, and exactly what makes it a great day in SE Texas is the commercials are over!!!!  Phelan wasn’t all bad, Covey wasn’t all bad, but by the end of it I would have voted for Brewster’s “None of the above!”  Politicians serve their own interests and everyone’s politician is bad (except for theirs of course).  I personally am for: 1) Higher fuel prices, 2) More taxes and restrictions on private property owners, 3) Cancelling student-loan and even credit card debt, 4) Covid restrictions (bring back masks) 5) Giving more tax money away to countries at war (except Israel), 6) Tearing apart the nuclear family 7) Supporting college kids to protest anything and everything they want with no consequences, 😎 Higher and higher food prices 😎  Go Biden/Harris - just MASA (Make America Soft Again), Beto for a high-cabinet spot.
    • Thanks for the info, I didn't check the primary vote count.  I was posing that, based on anecdotal evidence, many who did not vote in the primary showed up for the runoff, and apparently voted for Phelan.  My next door neighbors were two that voted runoff only and voted for Covey, so it went both ways I guess.   The Houston Chronicle posted quotes from Covey accusing many Dems of voting in the runoff.  Obviously if they were able to vote in the runoff then they didn't vote in the primary, unless the voted in the Rep primary to begin with of course. .  "Covey’s campaign released a lengthy statement after the results came in, calling Phelan an “Austin swamp creature and King of the Democrats.” The campaign accused Phelan of courting Democrat voters in Jefferson County to bolster his early vote numbers, but Covey did not say he would seek a recount." Anyway, it looks like it's a done deal, until November. 
    • WooHoo, the RANGERS win today 6-1 and win the series with arizona. 1st series win in the last 6. Maybe things are starting to change!!!
