FB Marshall is ripe for the picking but I think they survive for another week. I’ll take the Buffs 35-24. But they go down in Round 4. Hope Ned proves me wrong.

I think the winner of this game wins Region 3. I’ll say Huntsville wins 38-31. Crosby could have some difficulties sustaining drives on the Hornet defense, but you gotta think they are going to get their points with such big play capability. I lost count of all the big plays from last year. Still wake up at night periodically. If they drop 44 again, they probably win. I do agree that Crosby’s chances go up if they can get the early lead and force Huntsville to play from behind. The Hornets have not been in that position all year. Their offense is good but not as explosive as last year. The Hornets win games with defense. They don’t want to get in a track meet with the Coogs. I’m sure both teams will try and set the tone early in this one, particularly the Crosby O vs. the Huntsville D. Cant wait for Saturday. Looks like the weather will be perfect.

Well then 2:00 pm it is. Nederland fans could come watch the 4th Qtr. If they are still in the mood to watch football.

Texas Football has it at 1:00 pm, but both schools are showing 2:00 pm

Montgomery was missing their 1,000 yard receiver against FB Marshall due to injury. Same guy that had 382 yards against Crosby. Would have liked to have seen the Bears with all their weapons for that game.

I picked Huntsville to be in the State Final so I’ll stick with the Hornets here. This one could be a barn burner. That Crosby offense is more scary than FB Marshall. Still hard to believe that Crosby was leading Texas High 62-28 late in the game last week. Texas High was new to this region. They were an unknown to most of us, but they also didn’t know the rest of the Region teams. While they were patting themselves on the back and predicting a Region 3 championship, they stepped in the dookie and didn’t know it until it was too late. Very impressive win for Crosby. Unlike Texas High, Huntsville does know what they are dealing with this Saturday. Branch, Dunn, and Herman put on an offensive show last year. If they do it again, I’m not sure the Huntsville offense can keep up. Huntsville is a very sound team. They don’t make a lot of mistakes. The offense hasn’t had to do a whole lot. They haven’t had to go win a game because the defense gives up less than 10 per game. Crosby is the only team in 2 seasons that has scored over 30 points against the Hornets. It would seem likely that they will do that again. It’s win or go home. I think Huntsville will find a way to advance. I’ll predict a score later.
