Not that I’m aware of, and I graduated from LP, and have been back in LP since my discharge almost 40 years ago.

I’ll go with the Home Team for the upset. 😁 I have very little to base this on other than support for the Dawgs. I’ve only seen them play on LPSportsnet against DP and GCM. What I’ve observed is a team that seems to remember they’ve been a solid program for a lot longer than the last couple of down years would show. The new staff seems to have brought back some of that historical toughness and attitude. The talent is there, although young. I can see them coming in with a chip on their shoulder and a focus on the game due to the Lee game. I am impressed with the staff’s willingness to make adjustments in game. There’s some definite speed on this squad. With the youth, we’ll just have to see if they can minimize errors and make a game of it. If they do pull out the win, it won’t be just because it’s a ‘trap’ game. That sounds like a cop out hedge before the game’s even been played. Same token, if it’s a blowout for BH, it won’t be because LP is young. It will be because they were outplayed. From what I’ve seen of the scores & stats in the district so far, I don’t really see a team that’s head & shoulders above the rest enough for a clear cut district favorite to win out. But, I’ve been wrong numerous times before.😊

Berneathy was at LP from 2007-2013 if I recall correctly over the OL. Since he’s familiar—and LP is familiar with him—I can only imagine it makes it easier. But, LP is still very young. Many of us knew he would do great things for Dobie, and he did about as good as he could. Very few will get by NS first round every year. (No matter who you are…) He was gonna’ be 9 to 10 wins every year, and then one & out in the PO’s until something changes with the Sho. They’d beat more than a few college teams. LOL

Was told by people at the game that LP had 5 fumbles, and numerous other miscues. I asked if it was youth, good D, or a combo of both and was told it was mainly youth. If true, I’d expect inconsistency with the young players. To still be able to force a TO, march down the field and pull out the win away in the last minute speaks volumes about the attitude change from last year. As they say, an ugly win is better than a pretty loss. Go Dawgs! Keep workin’.

Don’t get to attend games live any more as better 1/2 can’t get up stairs. Had to let our season tickets go after 25+ years. So, I’m a little detached now. Glad to have LPSportsnet for home games at least. 😃

LP 69 GCM 17 Final Improvement from Game 1 to Game 3 is steady. Lot of LP underclassmen. Looks like entirely different attitude from last year. Back to more of what is typical for LP historically. Retired coach from told me frosh squads were loaded. We’ll see how it goes from here. Right now, I’m pleasantly surprised with how quick they’re picking up the new systems.

[/quote] when you can only move the chains with two wr's and only one of them scoring. running game got NOWHERE. and you still haven't "fixed" the run defense, yeah it was that bad. also to be fair,it was a scrimmage. i still feel the running game is not there. even in a scrimmage you should have some yards rushing the ball. this has GOT to be a rebuilding year and NOT a reloading year.... [/quote]Whatever y'all say. I'll say Dawson looked like they're gonna' have a pretty darn good squad for those that follow them as opponents or fans. I will say, it looked like they were putting a lot more emphasis on a scrimmage than LP was...trying to fire up a young squad? Dunno...talent is there though...

I could see Clear Brook taking LP. Very nervous about LP D right now...maybe because I'm a D fan.

I know La Porte is kinda' out of the area, but somebody better be looking out for Lewis at RB. Young man is looking very strong. I'm expecting a big year.

Right now, based on what I've seen, LP has skill players out the butt. C is the QB's brother. Good chemistry. TE is 6'6", 220. If LP uses him, could be deadly. Kicking game won't be at the same level as LP is used to because LP got spoiled with Vidales. A lot of D1 recruits/prospects on the squad. [/quote] When will Scott be back? [/quote]Sources tell me BZWD game. FYI...Right now, Lane Albertson is a beast.

A La Porte vs Fort Bend Bush III makes me un easy.  In all honesty, FB Bush had us for 11 of the 12 rounds in last year's Area round.  I hope someone else gets a piece of that up and coming program. And a very exciting match up would be PAM (without the district title ;D ). [/quote]Bush scares me for that very reason (last yr versus LP) [/quote]LP had no Whitely or Lewis. 3rd & 4th stringers were playing. Bush wasn't disciplined at all. They did have athleticism.

Just kicking back now. Waiting on the season to start.  :)

I think Mother Nature will set the marshes on fire herself. Geez...it's almost too hot to fish!  :'(

Pool C Qualifying teams look interesting for 7 on 7.

I mean remember we got rid of our Offensive Coordinator. [/quote]Didn't need a new OC playing at PAM this year. Needed a full EMT crew with new oxygen bottles. Maybe some night vision glasses to see through the marsh smoke. It's okay though. You probably couldn't find the stadium until halftime anyway.  :P

[quote name="songone" post="1416306" timestamp="1372253973"] Yeah he was a good lil' back.  Hoza made a grown man play on him when he stripped that ball.  Scott is an animal!  He refused to lose that game.  That TD reception wasn't bad either. [/quote]Just needs to keep his head in the game and recognize he was given special gifts. Oh, and stay off Twitter!

La Porte. Stone Age. Or, back when "Bad to the Bone" meant the offensive scheme.  :-[

[quote name="songone" post="1416252" timestamp="1372211373"] I think you guys just played flat after half and let the momentum switch, but they did make some nice adjustments.  The LP game was ALL Hoza Scott!  And NS escaped!  DP was a very solid squad.  Means (QB) will be back, but what about that RB? [/quote]Noah Cano (RB) graduated. Good player. Like BG said, DP will find another.
