Hey - FiredUp - As the old saying goes "I ain't seen any of Splendora's graveyards". IF you don't understand that means in Football Lingo - Just who has Splendora beat that makes you think they are so great. They have also only won 3 games . If you comapare all the mutual teams they have played including Cleveland Liberty did better is 2 of these as they played Diboll and Hamshire Fannett Liberty faired better - Scored more and help the other team to less. So just why do you feel that Splendora will even beat Liberty with their best players on the field and a overpowering 3 - 4 team records - with these facts ???

I think Cleveland still has to play Coldsprings and they don't have a chance to win that game - so to say that Cleveland will win out is a little far fetched.

I think Liberty has more to lose this week and will play hard on both sides of the ball - Prediction: Liberty - 26 Splendora - 21 Go Panthers 8)

Hey Go-rilla To answer your questions – with my take: No. 1 Liberty has to beat Splendora to stay alive in district play – they have their backs to the wall and will play hard not to be elinated. If they play like they did against Cleveland they will lose – but if they play like they did against Coldspring they will win. Prediction: Liberty – 26 Splendora – 21 No. 2 I hate to say this because I like Tarkington but these are the facts – 0 and 7 with 309 points against (44 per game avg.) and scored 67 (10 per game avg.). Closet game they have played was 26 – 49 loss to Shepherd that also had not won a game. That’s the reason that Tarkington is getting nothing but grief this year – and I hate to see it because they have a bunch of good kids and coaches. And, you are right this year this district seems to be very weak – Only Coldsprings has shown the ability to keep their program above water. Liberty – my team no matter what – has yet to show that they are indeed as good as they claimed early in the season – and they also have several good players.

Final Score: Cleveland - 20 Liberty - 14

Don't know the Mouton boy - but Stephen Guillory started for the Liberty Panthers as a Freshman and Soph. he is a decent player. He was not hurt any last year but maybe for a game or 2. If he is put is a structured program - one that Liberty does not have - he may wll do very well. But watching the HJ guards fron last year he may have a hard time getting a lot of playing time - depends on who they have returning.

Except the minor glitch regarding the Liberty and Splendora game - I think that Mike George is correct on this district.

What is this a trick question? K-Ville by a lot = 24 plus points.

Sorry - Mistype - the last game of the season will be Liberty and Splendora to determine 2nd place.

Tenor_guard89 – I know that sometimes that pantherplaya can come off wrong but I think you have made 8 post too many. While you are not the first to put Shepherd in the district race you should be the last. Shepherd has won 1 game – Ok they beat Tarkington by 26 – btw the closest game that Tarkington has played in all year. That will be the last game that Shepherd will win all year. Now next year all bets are off as Shepherd still has a young fairly quick team – but his year please. District will finish with Coldsprings as the undisputed champ as nobody in this district will be able to stop their rushing attack – Liberty had the best chance in the district for that and they gave up 45 points. Splendora might slow them down but will not stop them and will give up about the same 45 points. The final game of the season between Liberty and Cleveland will decide who will come in 2nd in the district this year. Then the 3 top teams will have to face a talented and deep 21AAA – It will be tough – but I predict that one 22AAA will pull out a win this year against their 21AAA opposition. Won’t predict which one just think one will pull the big surprise.

First – I never stated that Jeremy Brown was not a good player – I just stated the he was not unstoppable. For Liberty to be successful they will have to include all 5 players in the game – a thing they did not do all of last year. They have a few players that will help the team – Jeremy is one of them. But if they continue to play as individuals and not as a team the result will be the same. And no offence meant but didn’t Jeremy play only 1 or 2 games with Liberty last year? I might have forgot a few but I know he didn’t play very many – and they could have used him. BTW is it Steven that moved to HJ and why?

Dayton will make the playoffs - no question 8)

Liberty in a high scoring game - 44 - 35. Liberty's offense is pretty darn good when they don't stop themselves. But their defense has yet to prove that they can stop the other teams O. In district I think Liberty will also beat Shepherd and Tarkington pretty easy. Splendora on the other hand at this time is a toss-up and that game should decide 2nd place in the district. I agree that no team in this district should assume that they can beat anybody - all teams better bring their A game or face the cnace to lose. That said - GO LIBERTY PANTHERS

Jeremy Brown is a decent player but to say he is unstoppable is a little much - he also needs to learn how to be more of a team player as well. But that being said he will help the Panthers at the guard position and they needed it.

Sorry - just noted that Shepherd did beat Tarkington - Still think the list is right.

Sorry but that is for all the teams listed - even if they lose Friday if they win the final 3 district games they could still place 3rd in district. But I think it is the correct list as none - I repeat none of these teams have won a single game this year. Might be some interesting games between the 3 of them however.

This was one of the most exciting games I have been too recently. Liberty was ahead 29 - 15 at halftime and then scored on their 1st possession of the 3rd Qtr. Then Coldsprings scored on their next 3 possession while causing 1 interception and stopping the Panthers on the next 2 drives - in the process taking a 37 - 36 lead. Then with 3:00 or so minutes in the game Liberty caused a fumble and got the ball on their own 35 or so and proceeded to socre what appeared to be the game winning TD with about 49 seconds left in the game. However on a 4th and 8 with 12 seconds left in the game the Coldsprings team pulled of a well executed Hook and Lateral (sometimes called a Hook and Ladder) and scored with 2 seconds left and then made the 2 point conversion to win the game. Both offenses were not stopped almost all night. Liberty's offense had an impressive rushing attack led by Josh White but also had the best passing attack they have had in awhile. GREAT GAME - just wish the Panthers had come out on top.

WOS has a winnig system that every year places them in the top AAA football powers in the state and "some" of the fans are not happy. Make me wonder what would happend if and when they win 7 - 8 games a years for a few years - will they want to run the entire coaching staff out of town. WOS should be supporting the coaches that have gotten the system where it is and the ones that keep it there. As I have stated before the coaches will always know what their players can and will do better than any wanna be coaches in the stands. The coaches obviously get the most from their players year to year than most other coaches in the area. By the way was this not supposed to be "a rebuilding year" for WOS - I think the coaches and players both have stepped up and played to their best ability.

Kicker - Please re-read my post - I never said 21AAA was bad - in fact just the oppisite - I stated and believe that 21AAA is the class AAA district in the area. Just that every time a team from that distirct loses or even plays a nail bitter they never give and credit to the other team its always some other excuse.

Ooops sorry - they do have a recent whooping school - Shepherd - they have owned the last place spot for the last 2 years - sorry.

I'm sorry but Tarkington just has not proven that in any sport - with the exception of baseball - that they can make the playoffs. They just don't seem to know how to handle winning close games. They do have a good coach but them and Liberty have been cellar dwellers in this district for a long time - don't see a change in the near future. I would love to see the Liberty Panthers - the team I support - or Tarkington prove me wrong - but I just don't see it soon.

Hey 21AAA - I admit yall are good. But come on - Every game WOS - Silsbee - and K-Ville losses it always "we gave it away" or "we beat ourselves". Ya'll are good but not un-beatable by a long shot. Just admit when you meet a team that is either better - or just plain out plays you. It don't happen very often but you sound like poor losers when it does.

I kinda womder about these rankings - Liberty - a team everyone says is bad - beat Hardin by 20 in their only meeting last year. They also split with HD.

WOS better be prepared - the 20 agianst Liberty was not that bad. Liberty's offense is actually pretty good - its their defense that can't seem to stop anybody.

Gonna have to show my age now. Best player I ever saw play - and played agianst for 3 years - Eric Dickerson from Sealy, Texas.
