WH-BackInThaDay

Hey man, its good to be proud of your team, but freakin stop with the slander. You can be positive and talk trash without singling out people and running them down. It really shows your age when you do this. Noone is impressed with your mouth, or your lack of knowledge about the game. If anything, you are embarassing people from your own school.

I love this quote. As for paying the coach's salary, insurance, etc. that's why we pay taxes. I didn't say the programs clear the money, but they don't rely on revenue generated by admission to be able to play the games, so I don't think they hope for a good turnout to pay the refs and such. It probably costs more to play for small schools than it makes, but everything is already paid for. The school benefits from funds received, plain and simple. I agree too, that it was and is intended for student participation, but its also a lot of fun to watch. If it wasn't geared toward entertainment too, they wouldn't worry about uniforms, stadiums, playing on etc. and they'd play them during school during the week, wouldn't charge for admission, and we woudln't have a "SETX Forum" to make such a big deal out of these little events. It is entertainment, in a major way, whether you like it or not. Typing on this thread alone, proves that.

This is so bogus!! West Hardin has only been a school since 1962. Thats 45 years. 52 wins?? Did you have to stand up to pull that number out?

Okay guys, this one's for the District Title and a 45 year old rivalry . Lets hear what the fans and players have to say in regards to the game. Remember we all have pride in our alma mater and this is all in good fun! 8)

I won't say they'd win it, but they'd be competitive. Nobody could join this district and be a shoe in. The way these teams compete with one another is insane!! Nice topic, and Congrats to Kelly on their year so far!

You keep talking about this track team, but Bud, you're a few months until track season. H-D probably has more speed than anyone they played, but they aren't running all over and around their opponents. Speed advantage goes to Daisetta, we've established that, but those speed guys are gonna have to take some licks and stop some power runners. And yeah, all of this is trash talk. We're rivals, that's whats great about it. I wouldn't put money on either team, because its gonna go to who wants it more. The HD - WH is always very hard to predict, but WH is the undisputed district champs until they get beat, and thats the truth! Can't wait til' Friday.....

Hardin has the worst visitor's side, and getting dressed in the gym kind of stinks. Sabine Pass has a small visitors "everything". Evadale has the worst smell by far. It'll make you gag. Silsbee has the nicest I've seen 3A and under especially. That thing is great!! Iola has the worst playing surface, pissant beds, stinging weeds and hazardous fence right behind the endzone. Also, the field smells like a hog pen. Yuckie!!

Pre-game excuses? :-\

Best game I have seen this year. More exciting ending than the Kountze - WH game. (you had to be there) Looked like Buna had the better "Team", but EC had the bigger athletes and bigger plays. I'm glad I witnessed this one, it was awesome. Noone could predict this game. EC couldn't do anything with the Buna Line and Buna couldn't handle Thomas. The deciding factor was T. Thomas. This kid doesn't get tackled by one guy, and he IS the defense. Anyone know how many tackles he had tonight? Had to be close to 20 with 2 INT's. MAN!! That kid can go!

Yeah, come get West Hardin ;D

It is both. Mainly student participation in that it teaches comradery, leadership, how to win/lose, etc. But, if winning wasn't important the program wouldn't get money for the teams participating in the playoffs. Lets not forget this is a major fundraiser for the schools. $4 a head per adult, with thousands of people showing up for the game. This has become a rich tradition, especially in the great state of Texas in which we all abide, where the kids love to play their heart out, and give it their all, and all the fans love to watch.

I don't think HD running up the score on a weak Sabine Pass team will make the headlines, but it will be the talk around town in Daisetta as it'll be the last thing Daisetta has to celebrate until next year. ;D ...Gotta love them rivals BABY!!

My uncle graduated from PNG so we went to watch the Indians beat Brazosport in the Dome a few years back. Half the Astrodome was purple, UNBELIEVABLE!!

What are Deweyville's numbers?? What is the cutoff for 2A-1A?

I'm not knocking the Sharks. They have a great bunch of kids, but they are playing for pride. HD couldn't overlook them if they tried. You'll see what I mean, they just don't have what it takes to be competitive at the varsity level this year. HD by 40+. WH's JV came in with 10 minutes left in the 1st half, and it was already 37-0, and that's where it stayed. That being said, good luck sharks! See you next week HD.

With the Oilholes taking the week off, I'm gonna skip on over to Winnie to see if Buna can remain unbeaten, or if EC can pull this one out.

HD would run all over Newton like they did Buna this year. Tonight should be a walk through for the bobcats, but next week won't be. The battle for district championship is next week, Its on like Donkey Kong!!

Sabine Pass is not competitive in football this year, though they have a great bunch of kids. HD by however much the coach wants it to be. Too much speed for the Sharks. They would probably struggle with HD's JV to tell the truth, as they are very young for a varsity team.

Yep. 31-0 with 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. Sabine Pass is still a year or two away from being competitive. WH jv came in and played Sabine Pass pretty close. WH and HD will square off for he district title again.

Amen!!

Madden Man, not NCAA man..... That's me! ;D Good luck tonight, Bud! Starting tonight, they all count!! And yeah, you do walk funny.

All of these are great athletes, and I voted on that one that was, in my opinion, the most talented RB in 3A. But, if you like RB's that can make things happen, then just for fun, go to Youtube and type in Sam Mcguffie. He's a running back from Cy-Fair and he has some high lights. Some of them are almost unbelievable.

I like who WH plays in preseason as far as Kountze, Warren, Groveton, and Hardin. I'd like to see them add Deweyville to the pre-season schedule. This was always a good game, with very few lopsided wins in their long history of playing one another. This was as close to a rivalry as WH had to HD, though Warren, Kountze and Hardin are pretty close. Also, the last 6 times or so EC and WH played, I think they split the series 3-3. This would be my second choice as a team to add. So: 1. Deweyville 2. East Chambers 3. West Sabine

I think not, though I do think EC will come out on top, if they "want" to put up more 20-30pts. they'll probably be S.O.L. I'm gonna say they'll come out on top, but I think Warren has a better Defense than Deweyville.
