Opting up should only be for traveling issues. Should not be for competitive issues. Many football experts across the state disagreed with allowing schools to do that. I agree, there should be a travel, financial hardship to allow opting up. Shouldn't be an open option.

Kind of hard to figure out this year with splitting the teams into divisions after district play ends. I'll give it a try in a few days after doing some extensive research. lol Initially, I think Kountze will go farther in the playoffs than any other of our coverage area schools.

I really considered going to this game. Think it will be a good one. Two reasons why I am not going. 1. Just can't pass up that Cita/SC battle. It will be epic! 2. I hate Galveston Tx.

Actually, it did affect those 4 teams. Had BC, HJ and Liberty stayed in the district, HF, Jasper, Silsbee and WO-S would not have had to scramble to schedule a 5th (maybe even 4th) non-district game. When you are just a 6 team district, getting a 5th non district opponent is difficult. With Shepherd and Tarkington moving up that helped fill the district but had they not, that district would have been staring at having a 4 team district. Then having to find two more non district games. Trust me, having those three schools opting up affected the other 4 schools.

I started posting that in hopes that others would post in that thread what games they would be attending that week. Just a fun little thing. BTW, district standings are posted each week. You just need to look harder. Here, I'll hold your hand: [Hidden Content]

It certainly wasn't for travel issues which is why most if not all schools opt up.

No way. I need to see if @Matthew328 will give me BC getting +19.

Thursday, Oct. 3 East Chambers at Hardin Pregame meal at Los Compadres Friday, Oct. 4 Atascocita at Summer Creek Pregame meal at Tin Roof BBQ Saturday, Oct. 5 Hardin-Jefferson PW Elite at Silsbee PW Elite, 10am Pregame meal at Mama Jack's What game(s) will you be attending this week?

My point about your previous post was that you stated BC WOULD beat Silsbee and Jasper. I disagree. Now had you said they COULD win those games or have a good chance, then I WOULD have no problem with that statement. Since when does a 2 TD win qualify as barely beating someone? Bridge City hasn't shown me anything that they WOULD beat Silsbee.

I don't think any Silsbee fan had that mindset. Most are very surprised they started off 4-0 (now 4-1). You lose a senior class in 4A DII like the one that just came through, you naturally will drop in expectations and reality.

Bridge City has improved, that's a fact!! But what I want to see is what they can do against a a team with a fast, quick defense. I also want to see if they can defend a speedy offense. Can the BC secondary hold up against a strong passing game? I have seen BC twice this season. Scrimmage against Silsbee, game against Orangefield. On the sidelines for both. So I have seen with my own eyes, up close. I just have some doubts what BC could do against some fast, athletic teams. I think they would struggle some. I just don't think they WOULD beat Silsbee, Jasper, HF and WO-S. Could they? Well maybe.

Nope on Silsbee.

As for predictions, I'll take EC by 24.

Just looked. Hardin already had their homecoming a couple of weeks ago. Thank goodness.

I sure hope not because I will be attending this game. Game is scheduled for Thursday so EC kids can participate in Rice Festival.

I am beginning to think this wasn't on the university but the player, his family and his agent wanting to get more. Try to exploit his position.

You mean Utah.

Forgot to post, this loss snaps Silsbee's 28 regular season game win streak. Still have a 16 district game win streak intact.

Columbus is better.

Be respectful

If this ends in a blow out, Bama should be #1

Again, it's West Brook, not Westbrook.

Defenses for both played well. A&M stepping up the run game in 2nd half was big. I didn't realize that we had won 12 of the last 13 against the Razorbacks.
