Good luck District Champs

I'm thinking about how the strength of a district can artificially inflate a team. I was looking at district strength according to Texasfootball.com. 12-5a ranks as the second toughest district in the state. 9-5a ranks as the 6th. A great example of this is Fort Bend Marshall. They are ranked number 3 in the state. They are in a HORRIBLE district. They win every game by 50 points because they are playing lackluster opponents. This week we will see if Texas High deserves the number 5 ranking in the state or if their soft district has artificially inflated their record. Week 14 computer rankings (the last available i could find) had Texas High as 10th in the state and Crosby as 11th. Before the Nederland loss of course Again, this should be a slugfest. Gonna be one of the best games of the year IMO.

Gotta go with buna and Cotton Robinson I have copies of his basketball philosophy, drills, and sets

Are they young or talent level just not there. I noticed they lost from lastyears team there was only 2 returning with Varsity experience and 1 left for Summer Creek so the turning if the corner may be a bit longer cause I watched the sophmore group play 2 years ago in Middle school tourney and they needed work and rather small...

Hey look it's Coach RaiderGirl, the top assistant on the bench for Lumberton.

I will take HJ rather convincingly tomorrow, and for the district.

My wife never buys that one 😂

Mine is. I remember folks laughing and laughing last year. “Get back to me when they beat Silsbee or HJ” they said. I did. In year one. Oh and they also beat 30-2 Huffman to bounce them on their ear out of the playoffs. All with their best player on JV. One of these days I will be wrong on a HS basketball prediction. I mean I assume. Has to happen eventually. But I could be wrong. Livingston appears better than we gave them credit for. Huffman could finish 4th.

I am taking the vaccine on Friday. I will let you guys know how it goes.

Bulldogs going for #8 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Friday @ 12p, December 18, 2020 AT&T Stadium Dallas Texas.

If I remember correctly, before they started playing the 6 man championship in Arlington, Shotwell in Abilene was the destination for 6-man. Maybe they would play it at Shotwell for old times sake....

Thanks buddy!

It wasn't so much the 92 rush yds Briles had that was eyepopping, it was the certain plays he made that did Png in. Watching the game at times you felt they had Briles contained then BOOM he breaks off an exciting run to keep the drive going.

So we are faster than TH by enough that it gets coaches comments about it. That's good to know, I think we might have a better chance then I originally assumed. Good luck containing Branch and Dunn

yes

And Dems can truthfully make decals. “America, love it or cheat it”. The Democrat voters are the product of manipulation and brainwashing. They only know what they’ve been told, via the MSM or Social Media. So they were told for almost 3 years - Trump was guilty of Russian Collusion - They were told orange man bad - Orange man, and his supporters racist - They’re constantly told FOX News lies - etc. etc. Then comes the proof. The lies by omission. The Hunter Biden scandal, exposed by the NY Post with proof, the oldest newspaper in America. Both Media outlets, News & Social, get all self righteous and squash the story. There are even former CIA Directors, Bremmer & Panetta, quoted as saying it’s Russian disinformation. And the manipulation & brainwashing is complete. Thirty percent of voters in one swing state had never heard of the Hunter Biden story & ten percent said they would have changed their vote, enough to give Trump the win. So the New Media, assumed by our Founding Fathers to be the watchdog of our Republic, is now nothing more than a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party & their agenda. There is no watchdog. No guard at the gate. Our Republic is in serious trouble. [Hidden Content]

and the 5 picks.

This game will be broadcast here at SETXsports. Yours truly on the call. Looking forward to it.

And sending a message to every OTHER school in Texas that this will no longer be tolerated by the UIL......

I will be doing a Tuesday and Friday games of the week. Will start after the holidays. A couple of those games will be Silsbee games.

Well last year we beat them at LCM and they beat us in Lumberton

You should be ashamed calling yourself an American. I’ve had people give their lives fighting communism and you are thrilled they are elected into office and even voted for them.

Just so yall know, when I leave the game I'm going straight west for 2 weeks deer hunting........except for Christmas, dang it have to come home for Christmas. But if we were to happen to pull this thing off, I'm gonna have a lot of time to smack talk from the deer stand. 🤣

Not sure I'd hire a coordinator that could potentially replace you based on reputation alone. I know that every OC/DC is a potential head coach.. but hiring a name like that is a good way to get yourself pushed out. Plus, it's no secret that Briles likely wants to be a head coach.

I need L-TOWN to get this jersey next year...🔥

A 10 year home district win streak is pretty impressive nonetheless.

Here comes the ultimate homer

I think you are taking me the wrong way. I also know how the scrimmage started and how it ended as I was there on the Longview side. The first team starters were Teeing off on each other...those two schools always go at each other. My simple point of bringing it up was that normally Texas High can't match Longview across the board with team speed but they looked better this year than I have seen them ever matching up. It was interesting and surprising to see. Again, my point was they looked better from a talent and skill perspective as a whole than they have in the last 10-15 years...means no more and no less...

How is Lancaster ranked first at 6-4 but Nederland and BU are both 9-0 ranked lower... they don’t wanna see the 409 winning!!!

Merlin on the X’s & O’s

You’ve had four years to do that!! Trump must not have been as bad as would lead us to believe, or you would have left.

It’s the same mental disease some of the posters here have.

You probably wouldn’t be wrong but only mistaken. Lol

Dang good one right off the bat!!! 2 great coaches and 2 good teams always tough at LCM.

Typical Trumper! I thought about a money making proposition. Making decals saying, "America, Love It or Leave It."

Arizona might also be a possibility, since Sumlin got fired.

As the bad guy said in the Outlaw Josey Wells, “Doing right ain’t got no end”. 😂🤣😂

There s political crap on both sides

If you are talking about Catt you are way out of touch. Been gone for a couple of years now.

Better than tiddly winks.

A situation that makes no sense. None. And though I try to rationalize it, I can’t. It sends my feeble brain into overload just thinking of it. It’s like a person saying they hate cold weather, then moving to Alaska.

Finally found some individual stats for this game: Raymond Baltrip 20pts 9rebs Shan Gilder 19pts 6rebs Jared Harris 17pts 5rebs 4stls Drelon Miller 10pts 4rebs 3stls

How many people have to die before that happens naturally?

Just to be clear, when you say “. . . hung with Longview. . . “, you’re taking about a scrimmage, correct? IDK about Smoaky but we don’t count those on this website.

Texas High will not be surprised by Crosby's speed...Texas High hung with Longview very well at the start of the year. Longview has some of the top speed across the board of any program in Texas... I think this is going to be one to the top 2 games in 5AD2 this week...it should be a slobber knocker...I don't get the blowout predictions. This game will come down to the Texas high defense. I say TH by 10

Crosby by 3. Should be an epic game!

When it comes to the state championship game Carthage is just a machine...give me Carthage to win another state title

I'm sure that Gilmer's got a quality team because it seems like they always do, but they're going to have to be flawless and then get some breaks to win this game. Carthage is just unreal.

The reason why all hires are crap shoots, is because there is much more to factor, when evaluating the success of a football program, than just the head coach. Which is something that many on this site fail to realize.
