LP is keeping some players out. Peyton Smith isn’t playing. Sounds like they will be alternating in and out other players.

!score 0-0 Q1 Lufkin to receive

Bronson reminds me a little of Maciah Long (2016ish NS) in frame/build, passing technique, and competitiveness.

You’ll have to keep us updated on him. I don’t keep up much with the underclass teams because they change so much. But, I do like to hear about how certain young men are doing, and I look for scores when people ask. Sometimes, it’s hard to find info unless you know someone.

Glad to see Bronson playing after all the rumors. Looked like he had a compression sleeve on is all. But, his movement looked good. I did get a little nervous on a couple of his runs where RSS gang tackled him. Congrats on the win BU!

Did you get to see the stadium last night? Also, how did your son play?

No. I think he only has about 1600 if I remember right. He has the current record of almost 2200 he set last year. He is on pace for over 8,000 career if he continues at the current pace or a little over the rest of this year and next.

The loser always says that. Funny that way.

I can’t say for sure because I’m not involved. But, I can say I doubt that will happen. It has little to do with PAM. It has to do with momentum for the PO’’s, wanting to keep the 3 year undefeated streak intact, and wanting to keep the 4 year District Championship win streak in tact for the Seniors. This group of seniors have never lost the DC in their high school careers. Mainly, I think it has to do with PO momentum & continual improvement. Its hard to ‘hate’ someone who has a losing record against you. 😉💪

LP could care less about PAM for the most part. Y’all are just another team. The only rivalry that LP really gets up for is the Border Battle.

BU could have scored as many as they wanted that night. But, it had more to do with Bronson being on fire & in tune with his receivers (who actually caught balls) than bad matchups. Coverage wasn’t bad. Bronson’s timing and accuracy that night was just better. I saw the entire game.

I think y’all’s JV won. I heard more about a really scary injury than the actual game. Do you know anything about the young man?

La Porte freshman went 10-0, undefeated in district. They beat Lufkin last night 26-7.

DCTX has BU @ RSS as too close to call.

Stepp was mentioning in the Tepp & Stepp pod today that Randle’s QB is down, and LWC is a little dinged. He thought Randle may be without their QB for the rest of the year, and was concerned about their chances of going deep. Anyone else hear anything more?

35:52 mark for 9-5AD1

Panhandle farm boy myself. Dalhart, TX. Had to go where the jobs were.

You’ll have to excuse me. Sarcasm is a low form of wit. At 63, I don’t care if it’s low or not. I’m just am glad I still have some.

Sure they do. But, it needs a tiebreaker. Anybody know the rules?

Youth. I consider the BU game a fluke. Y’all made me lose my pick’em against GCM. I thought for sure Lufkin would win that game. But—like I’ve told others—Simon will get his. He got 340 & 4 TD’s against PAM. What you don’t want to see is Wells with 200 or more passing. He’s averaging over 170 ypg with a 64% comp. rate, 19 TD’s, and only 1 INT. If LP can pass whenever they want, it will be a problem. I know LP wants to win. My main concern is that no one gets hurt. I wouldn’t mind an RSS win on Thursday either. Nothing against BU. I just want GCM and Lufkin to make the PO’s. But, I don’t want LP to lose to make it happen. The LP seniors have been through a lot with no home games for 2 years, and have still been District Champs & PO bound for 4 consecutive years. Y’all are getting ready to experience a similar ‘no home’ period. But—at the end & new beginning—y’all will be really happy about it.

Couldn’t name every restaurant. But yep. The loaded spud is pretty good. Problem is, after I eat one, it’s lights out John Boy. No amount of coffee can resuscitate. 😆

In District 9-5AD1 play: La Porte - PPG 53, PAPG 24 Lufkin - PPG 25, PAPG 21

Coach Abseck and Coach Berneathy have met 3 times. In Berneathy's first year back at LP (2022), the Dawgs beat Barbers Hill 34-27 in district play. In Berneathy's second year at LP (2023), the Dawgs won at Barbers Hill on the Eagle's Homecoming 34-29 in district play. This was the first year LP played no home games as the new Bulldog was being built. LP actually played their home games at Eagle Stadium. LP was moved to 11-5AD1 in 2024, and the two met up in the Area round PO game which LP won 55-27. This will be the 4th meeting between these two staffs.
