7-0 Q1 LP stopped GCM on 4th & 6. First snap fumbled back to GCM . They return it for TD. Simon isn’t playing first half. He must have been the BS ejection in the Ball game.

Announcers just said 20 of GCM’s starters are Seniors. La Porte only has 6 Seniors starting total between offense & defense. Experience vs. youth tonight.

Sure seems to be going by fast. I guess I am getting older... 😭

I knew Homecoming games were long. But, this is ridiculous.

Mine are still holding. My thoughts about the LP D and OL are still dead on, as are my thoughts about Lufkin and PAM D's. I also think I was the only one voicing my thoughts that GCM would be a PO team, and neither Beaumont team would make it to the PO's. Still early though, and I still think tie breaks will be involved. I wish I knew what the tie break rules were for this year.

Only for Barbers Hill when we're borrowing their stadium for the year, and they schedule LP for Homecoming. 😁 Then, they throw a hissy, and we have to play at Deer Park the next year...

LP has to get the D fixed. They haven't been typical LP D since our DC went to Shadow Creek end of 2024. Losing our D1 Edge to Shadow Creek this year didn't help either.

It's LP's Homecoming also. Same as y'all. Always a weird game. Should be beautiful weather though.

One of the times. I believe y'all both got beat again the next year also. Then, NS had to go start 'cruitin, and bringing in an extra couple thousand kids where they could go 6AD1 and avoid us. 🤪

I remember a time when La Porte scheduled North Shore every Homecoming. 😁

Traitor! Heresy I say! Send him to the glue factory!

Stepp has LP by 7, and now he's got GCM taking the 4 PO seed.

Looks like NFHS will stream.

I went with NC. By a feather. I just think they’re right there, and have an extra game under their belt. To me, that one extra game may be the separator.

Should be about right. LP won by 28 with a lot of backups playing, had a TO in red zone & a missed FG to leave 10 points on the board. I don’t know how GB was last year. But, they have a couple guys who can play this year. Should be a comfortable win though.

Stepp has this as one of his games to watch this week. The game will be streamed free on the LPsportsNET YouTube channel. Thoughts?

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.
