If anyone wants to know why LP fans have been wanting 88 (TE Ryker Reynolds) to get more chances on O, and why he’s a Pitt commit, check out his first pass reception against Ball, and what he does to their D. 77 yards later, it’s pay dirt after blowing past half the Ball D. He’s 6’4/240. The young man has some wheels & hands. [Hidden Content]

I'm gonna leave my personal weekly district rankings the same because everyone won their games. PAM GCM RSS LP PAM only led 13-7 with 73 total yards in the first half against a tough Lufkin D. But, they took control in the 2nd half to pull away. GCM was also in a tight battle with BWB. But, pulled out the win at home. Can't get much closer than RSS & NC. If I remember correctly, RSS had to score near the end of the game to win on the road. But, they did. LP had a tight first half on the island, and only led 21-19. But, they made adjustments and turned it on in the second half to cruise. Defense still needs work. OL appears to be coming together better. Some tight games. I expect we'll be in for a lot of these, and I still think tiebreaks will come into play at the end. I don't have any idea what the tiebreak rules are this year in the district. But, I hope Berneathy is keeping them in mind just in case.

This. They did it all game long. Video was a little hard to follow. Not NFHS. Just the school production feed to NFHS. But, I'm pretty sure I saw an LP player get ejected near the end of the game. Nothing to any Ball player. I don't know who, the circumstances, or if they'll have to miss any game time. But, I think someone was ejected. I'm not gonna go into depth about officiating since we have issues getting crews for games.

True. He was good. Still is. Just found a better fit for himself. Very proud of him.

LP doesn’t broadcast away games. It was on NFHS. All the flags would’ve blinded you anyway. Refs got more plays in than both teams combined. Game was called a little early because of a fight. LP & Ball go back a long way. Little side note- Berneathy graduated from Ball & his dad coached there for many years.

Sean Simon became La Porte's all-time leading rusher last night in the third game of his Junior season. He now has 4,113 yards rushing. He passed: Austin Upshaw 4069 Kendrick Perkins 3988 Curvin Richards 3753 Anthony Webb 3739 Thomas Bussey 3486 Ricky Byars 3471 Randy Collins 3451 Gainus Scott 3218 Quentin Castille 3197 Keith Whitely 3042 Pretty heady list. Some of y'all may remember some of the names. Simon had 181 yards against Ball. LP had 4 other ball carriers share the load. Unofficial game stats- 361 yards rushing 207 yards passing on 11-17 with 2 TD's & 0 INTs 568 total yards Penalties weren't good. 12 for 115 yards. Many extended Ball drives on 4th down. Also had a fumble inside the red zone & a missed FG. They also muffed an onside kick that gave Ball a short field scoring drive.

I popped something. I heard it, and it wasn't good. ADVIL!!!

Depends how quick they can continue to put things together. They're coming along. D is still a major work in progress. But, you can see improvement in coverage. They're just missing plays by a little. Tackling is improving. It's like everything is just a step off, and timing is just riiiiiggggghhhht there still. But, it's getting there.

I assume you got your question backwards? The reports of LP's demise are premature. They are not the same Dawg team of the last 2 years yet because of youth. But, I said this team has a lot more potential. I mean A LOT. PNG found out about Crawford. Imagine playing them the first game with a young D, new OL, new offense. and no real film. LP was still within 3 in the 4th quarter. Then, the Border Battle at Abshier (you are well aware how it is to play there) against a Deer team that is better than any I've seen from them in years--maybe decades. They had revenge on their mind, and they got it. Any doubts about them? Look what Dawson did last night & the Deer blanked them 35-0. LP still scored 17, and should have had 2 more scores. Deer Park has only given up 24 points so far this year. LP has 17 of them. Ball stacked the box with all 11 within 8 yards of the LOS almost all night. In years past, that would have shut LP down. Especially with a young OL. Not gonna work this year. LP scored almost 60, and Simon didn't even have to carry the load. They still have a lot of work to do. A lot of growth. But, they're getting there. Berneathy doesn't schedule Bellaires or Daytons. Looking at you PAM & Angleton.

I think they played pretty well. I agree. They will upset someone. Not sure I would call it a big upset though.

LP’s playing a lot of different young men tonight. They’ll need to address all the silly penalties. That can be fixed.
