All depend on what kind of "growth" it is. No one wants the Cleveland "growth".

SETXsports will be doing a audio broadcast of this game. @WOSdrummer99 @89Falcon

@89Falcon should be able to answer this question.

Vidor did finish 2nd behind Silsbee in basketball last year.

Getting in the middle of district races now. Some good games on tap for this week. Where will you be Week 8? My Week 8 schedule Thursday Timpson at Shelbyville or Angleton at Kingwood Park Friday Beaumont West Brook at Port Arthur Memorial Saturday UTRGV at Lamar (Homecoming)

LC, 28-24

PN-G, 45-17

LC-M, 41-7

PAM, 34-28

Huntsville, 40-36

BC, 38-21

Lumberton, 35-14

LP, 44-13

Angleton, 39-10

Looking at their stats, the QB from last year (Dellinger) who was 2nd on the team in rushing last season with 900 yards (leading rusher with 1622 graduated) is again 2nd on the team in rushing with 592 yards. They have a RB (Davis) with 622 yards and another RB (Coyle) with 398. The QB has the most carries on the season with 72. White leads them in receiving with 7 receptions for 118 yards on the year. Last year it was the RB Stephens with the 1700 yards in offense and 18 TD's. Now it's a combination of 2-3. But the QB seems to be the man on most occasions. I understand you having a little bias with this particular Shepherd team with having family on the team, including yourself. It's understandable.

Silsbee, 42-0

Last year, Shepherd was averaging 355 yards rushing per game going into Silsbee game. Tigers held them to 215. WO-S held them to their 2nd lowest rushing total of 223 yards. The other 8 games Shepherd rushed for 300+. I like WO-S in this one, 30-13

In Silsbee's case, they defend the run very well. Pass, not so much but getting better. Shepherd averages 340 yards rushing per game out of the Wing offense. 32 yards passing. I like Silsbee in that match up.

Team stats HF Silsbee rushing 19/25 yds 50/348 yds passing 19-27, 189 yds 3-7, 30 yds total 46 plays/214 yds 57 plays/378 yds Silsbee held HF to just 1.3 yards per rush. It was also the first time this year that HF didn't rush for 100+ yards. The 214 total yards was the fewest that HF has had all season. Next lowest was against Crawford when they had 255. HF came into the game averaging 387 yards total offense (203 rushing, 184 passing) The 20 points was also the lowest score for HF this season. (came in averaging 35 points per game) Seven of those points came on the little Hail Mary pass on final play of game against Silsbee's 2nd team. Tiger defense really showed out. Silsbee run game was dominant.

Jasper will beat Tarkington.

I guess those guys are fans of Goodfellas.

Probably so but they are the favorites to win that DI district as it stands now.

I sure hope they don't drop. Need them to stay in order to have at least a 6 team DII district since BC, HJ and Liberty (who are DII enrollment) chose to opt up. I expect them to do the same in this realignment. (even though BC may have DI enrollment this time around) A 5 team district is not good. Have to schedule 6 non-district games which is virtually impossible. Be better off playing each district foe twice, eight games, then only having 2 non district games but that won't happen. If HJ and Liberty would just stay DII, then no issues.

Jay Z is over NFL halftime entertainment. He is the head hancho over the selection process. Been the head guy since 2019. It's why you are seeing what you are seeing for halftime performances of late.

My Aggies with a nice win over Florida. Now an extended road trip. At Arkansas, at LSU and at Missouri.
