Personally, I take Friendswood. One of the coahes mentioned to me the Montgomery's d-line was undersized and I think Friendswood will take advantage. Granted that line didnt make much of a difference against Dawson but F'Wood is even better than Dawson. [/quote] Everybody the Bears have faced in the playoffs, with the exception of Huntsville, were always "Bigger, Stronger, and faster" "Gonna send Montgomery home" "Same ole story every time........ Well here they go again, got to face "almighty" Friendswood........ [/quote] I keep noticing you like to refer to us as almighty Mark Barnes. We do appreciate your comment, but we do not think about our selves in those terms. PS - How did you gain those 60 pounds after your playing career? Very swole dude!

[quote name="Mark F Barnes" post="921190" timestamp="1290947366"] Montgomery and Dawson left nothing on the field. Dawson was filled with track stars that are good football players as well. They were some kind of fast. The Dawson coach did the smart thing, he had a chip shot field goal with a tie game and 1:40 on the clock left in the game. On three different occasions the Montgomery defense shut out the "Power I' of Dawson, it was forth and goal, he took the three. Montgomery got the ball back on their own 30 and ran Leroy Dobbins down the field 70 yards in less than a minute. Nothing fancy, double tight end formation just hand the ball to Leroy and the O-line made enough daylight, to get in the open, and he shrugged tacklers desperately trying to strip the ball. Touch down the crowd goes wild. They are not fancy, they just execute, Leroy needs six inches of daylight, they gave him a little more than that. Everybody the Bears have faced in the playoffs, with the exception of Huntsville, were always "Bigger, Stronger, and faster" "Gonna send Montgomery home" Well here they go again, got to face almighty Friendswood........ [/quote] Montgomery is the favorite and we are just blessed to be able to play them!

[quote name="Mark F Barnes" post="921813" timestamp="1291011628"] Offensive makes great stats and highlight reels.....but defense wins Championships! [/quote] True that!! And I think the offensive and defensive lines are the key to this game!!

[quote name="gomavs" post="921817" timestamp="1291019846"] I am so glad to have found this thread.  The things which are posted here are downright shameful.  I do have a vested interest in the Manvel program, but I also have a vocation which advocates fairness amongst all participants in HS sports.  The views expressed by some of the players from Manvel however inappropriate at times was certainly provoked.  Why are HS players in 2010 still using the N and "coon" words.  Someone near and dear to the situation said this occurred most of the game and is still shocked and appalled.  As a former US Marine, Mason/Shriner, father, etc amongst other things I could not believe this.  I fought for everyone-black, white, Asian, Hispanic, all Americans.  My childen and others around me do not and are not condonned to use those words towards anyone.  And yes I am very much black and from the "hood".  However we learn to leave ignorant situations grow up and go on to obtain various academic degrees, etc and be better individuals and give back to our communities and teach others the same.  Not only to mention being a Christian.  What are you teaching your children about the future?  Athletes should show pride in their programs, HS memories, etc, but racism and name-calling is totally inappropriate!  Manvel's penalties were mainly a result of "second-hand responses".  Luckily the players were able to avert an all-out brawl.  I respect those coaches and others who had cooler heads.  Good luck to Manvel next week against LaMarque and to PNG next year and beyond.  My prayers are with those who think HS sports have become grounds for racial intolerances.   Luckily Manvel although not perfect has embraced the true meaning of our "children's futures-which some of us so called adults have left stuck in the past. [/quote] I was not at this game. I was at the FW vs Lamarque, Dawon and Manvel games. Manvel's sportsmanship was no different than FW or LaMarque or DAwson. Normal level of hormones in play. I will tell a quick story, but some quick background. My friend was on the officating crew for the Manvel vs PNG game, he is black. I am white. We are very good friends. Now the story - FW has a player who does not seem to realize he has some teamates who will be offended when he uses the N word towards his opponents, his own black and white team mates do not like what he does. Despite teamates, parents(me included) and coaches correcting him , he still does it. I would kick him off the team. But I am not the coach. He gets as many unsportsmanlike penalties as he gets. He is an embarrasement for FW,  people walk away from our games if they hear him shocked at FW. He paints our town in a bad light. But the vast majority of our kids are good kids who behave as people of faith should behave, what ever their faith. But how could you know that if you observe some behavior to the contrary. Now my ref friend who worked this game tells me that PNG has a few kids who fit the bill of the FW kid I describe above,  as gomavs asserts. They embarrassed PNG with their language. Manvel kids let it get to them and got caught. This does not paint the whole town, but think how those Manvel kids and parents are thinking about PNG now. Think how PNG fans are thinking about MAnvel kids, you saw them act out with physical acts of unsportsmanlike behavior. You could not hear the language, which my friend tells me was appalling. I am not defending either side, but there is a whole lot more to this story than Manvel kids getting late hit penalties, a whole lot more. Use this as a teaching opportunity to kids on both teams.  you simply can not react to words and you must police your own. FW is still learning how to do this and it is not easy. I am sorry to hear that folks who were at the game were dissapointed in the sportsmanship, but please use it as a teachable opportunity. This is how we change behavior. I am sorry - but I had to say something. I do not mean to upset either side, but there are two sides. Good luck to all and enjoy the rest of the football season, basketball season, soccer seasons, Band contests, baseball season etc. It will be over for your kids before you know it.

[quote name="PNGFan" post="921153" timestamp="1290927013"] The problem with you is you only get on here to run your mouth. Never nothing positive comes out of it. [/quote] Like your post above right. Maybe if you would read more you would find a lot of positive posts. Way to go Manvel! So who is going to win the next game PNGfan, add some value. I have Manvel beating LM due to depth. Who do you have, add some value! And I believe my post said that there are a lot of very good people on this board who keep me coming back, in spite of the ones who do not add value, like you right now. Later, hope your baskeball and baseball teams have good seasons!

[quote name="rollinac" post="921138" timestamp="1290926068"] I don't want anything from any of you nor did I ask for it. Jump right in....that's what I was told how things were over in the SETX when things don't go your way. We stated our position on how we thought 24-4A might all end up as the 4 regional finalists and some of you took your positions as expected. We have 2 of 4 with 1 pending still and that's the way the ball bounces. Now if I say we did pretty good is that gonna hurt your feelings too? I saw your posts prior to the game and didn't agree with them but you don't see me taunting you do you? No and why? Because that's your opinion and just because you were wrong doesn't give me the right to ridicule your opinion . Btw, if you wanna come at me feel free to do so but if you're gonna complain on what I talk about or how long I do it in my posts that have nothing to do with football then you're obviously grasping at straws. I can do this as long as you wanna respond so if you don't want a response then don't jump in heads first FELLA! I guess we'll be above that whole Tit for tat thing huh.  You must be a politician...Mega-church preacher maybe...spiritual father??  I personally enjoy the whole back and forth on here and I find it fun and I don't claim to be "above it". Of course we'll not always agree...and if I was always right I would be in Vegas and not Missouri City.  All I stated was that I thought LM was a year away and that Dayton would win this game.  Woops I missed it.  I just don't act like I'm some kind of "yea I'm football only and I don't engage in tit for tat" and then run around rebuking everyone's comments about anything coming back at you football related or not.  The funny thing it's like you don't see you're making yourself look like a fool with the double-speak.  Judging from that year, 88, puts you in my generation.  Seriously where did you get fella?  Dude, Brah, homey, dawg, partner even....but fella??  As my girl Friogirl or Octfeb said earlier that my feelin's are hurt and there's no doubt.  [/quote] You are calling out some one for looking the fool and you want to rag about Fella vs some other slang rap terms? Please - work on some value. Who do you think will win LM or Manvel?

Dude please, everyone knows that plant operators spend all shift on the internet or playing cards.

On the other hand I cant say much because I am an air traffic controller and we play poker all night long..

We changed our culture years ago. Nice try on the poker all night long line.

[quote name="Nederland Bulldogs!!!" post="920495" timestamp="1290903575"] Someone was talking about error-free ball, PNG played central error-free they gave. Up nothing, Central could beat Manvel if given the chance, Png has the strongest defense in the region, not the weakest.................... just correcting a few mistakes........... btw Nederland beat PNG 39-32 :) GO PNG!

[/quote] Thanks for the nice post. You never know with high school kids. I just wish folks on these forums would not be so mean and petty. Why would folks bash FW and other 24-4a teams because they played a weak HISD team in the 2nd round?? No need for that. Oh well, good luck next year, lots of talent returning for Humble, lot more than FW has coming back!

Well we won 3 out of 4. We will not respond to all the tacky posts over the past several days. Just say - congrats and good luck next year. We will enjoy continuing to represent our region. Later.
