Game Day Dawgs! Deer are trying to cut into your 4 game overall series lead again. Time to put an end to their mini streak!

Pretty early for that. I hope they incorporate a little more passing this year to minimize people stacking the box. I’d be happy with a few quick slants and RPO’s to the big TE over the LB’s a few times a game. Just some more higher pct. passes to back the D’s up a little and help create some creases. They need something against the better teams. Lancaster shut them down with 9 within 5 yards of LOS, and they didn’t adapt well. With no sustained drives in the 2nd half, the D finally wore down against Lancaster’s Power 5 RB, and he was able to break the game open for the 2 score win.

Ha! Just started a thread. La Porte is in SETX coverage area. Is King Phillips still at DP? He was a very good WR. LP looked very solid at scrimmage against Dobie. They return a lot—including entire backfield & most of OL. I think the D returns about 8 if I recall correctly. Heard the Deer looked good at their scrimmage also.

71st meeting. The Deer have won 3 in a row, and the series is basically knotted up. Both teams are coming off solid seasons and PO’s in 6A & 5A respectively. Last year, DP won 41-20 at Abshier & this year’s matchup is at Abshier again as La Porte completes their new stadium. Reports are that both squads had really solid scrimmages. Abshier is always a tough place to play. But, I’m actually going with the Dawgs this year to break the Deer streak. The program participation is up and the excitement is back for LP in year 3 of Coach Berneathy’s tenure. Big things are expected with this group. Who you got?

Pending… But, went by La Porte’s soon completed digs. Really like the horseshoe/split level design. Reminds me of a smaller college style stadium. It’s looking sweet.

DQ stays. It’s a fixture. Used to be Mama & my ‘date night.’ DQ pregame. I’m a big spender. 😂🤣

Good article. La Porte returns similar. With the coaching ties between the schools, should be a good battle. Do you have a link to La Porte’s 2024 outlook?

Congrats to Coach LaReau for being inducted into the GHFCA Hall of Honor. Coach LaReau lead the Bulldogs to three District Championships, twelve PO appearances, and two State Quarterfinal berths in his 14 years. He owns 15 career PO wins while at La Porte. All of this was accomplished while La Porte was consistently one of the—if not the—smallest 6A schools in the state. Congratulations on well deserved recognition Coach.

Does seem like a mismatch. LP returns quite a bit. I don’t have the magazine. But, district looks to be in alphabetical order based on what you’ve typed here… Barring something really unforeseen, I don’t see La Porte missing the PO’s. @Matthew328

My info also.

That would be awesome. I know some families of seniors are really hoping it’s good to go for their graduation as well. That—I think—is easily doable. Again, depending on hurricane season this year. I keep hearing a busier than normal year. Let’s all hope not.

Ha! Didn’t work out too horrible last year.

Yeah. I just don’t see it (hosting) unless the field itself is ready and fans aren’t allowed yet. I could see the field itself being ready. Or, they could set up bleachers at the new auxiliary field I guess. I don’t think there’s a completion bonus big enough to push through a schedule of less than 12 months. Just getting the materials/scheduling space in the laydown yard is pushing it in that timeframe. For the cost involved, I don’t see the admin pushing schedule over quality control. LPISD is generally a pretty good steward of funds/deliverables.

I had actually been told by a former coach that Abseck had declined allowing La Porte to use Eagle Stadium this year. But, I take it as just a rumor. I don’t really know & haven’t heard confirmation one way or the other. Seemed a little over a HC/AD pay grade to decide facility usage. But, I may be wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time.
