whats interesting about poppy brown is it looks like he came out of no where!!! according to 2016 etsn football preview on gilmer a kid named brett rice was suppose to be the starter and poppy brown isnt even mentioned .

a stroll down memory lane in 1978 go to hamshirefannettalumnifootballplayers.com 1970's playoff section under 1978 .

another point proven , defense is a forgotten art .

a looooong but short night .

Gonna be a long year for my horns

lagaryon carson (u of t commit ) is suppose to be a beast and was state 4a defensive player of the year as a junior . I know he is just one of eleven jokers out there playing but whomever was blocking him must be a stud !!! 55 points on a defense is not a good look , but this is todays football all offense and no defense .

I went back 30 years ago(1985) to the date almost and looked up my old all district picks article . The 1st team offense , defense and 2nd offense and defense altogether was 48 picks . Add the superlatives which was 4 slots it was 52 in all . Mind you back then if you won a superlative you were also eligible to be placed on the all district (imo your suppose to )team . We had a 7 team district. Honarable Mention back then meant something as well , but now its jusr crazy !! You have over 24-25 kids on 1st teams , that is a total of almost 50 on offense and defense . Last i checked its still 22 jokers on that field at the same time . Coaches need to get it together!! Every kid cant make an honor , sorry !! You get your "participation trophies" at your school's anual banquet.

Does anyone have the list or article of the supergold 1st team and 2nd team ? I dont live in the area and i see Beaumont enterprise never updates their site . Also i see PA News Super Team came out they have superlatives but not the list of the team or the team picture . Usually someone on here would have already posted supergold and super team someone help a brother out . Thanks !!

Congrats to Kendrick "crown'em" King for being named district MVP the kid put his team on his back , just wish it would have ended in regionals . Also to Tyreese White for being named Offensive Newcomer of the year he maybe a problem for the next 2 years in the area if he is used right .At one time In Hamshire history we always had some really good backs lets hope we crank that back up . Shout out to the rest of the young men at hf, it was nice to see them win this year and get some recognition . Now lets build a damn defense !!! WOS still plays smash mouth ball and lights out defense which explains going 4rounds In 2012 and 2013 and 6 deep twice in 2014 and 2015 winning it all this year. Defense still wins championships.

Does anyone have the full article and pictures of the super gold team ? Also the second team and honorable mentions . If so i would like to get a link or an e version of it or a scan copy of it . Thank you [email protected]

Dont forget Athens Travon Fuller he committed too aggieland for 2016 last month .

Im sure he saw the same type of attitude along with talent and problems at Florida. While urban myers looked the other way and won national championships. He also had Tebow too take the attention off the thug and hoodlums that were some of their best players on that team . im sure strong made a note that he would not let these highly recruited players playing at texas get away with what went on at florida . You have too destroy first in order too build anything , if that means mindsets , bad attitudes and law breakers then so be it . They dont deserve to play at any college especially if you have been warned numerous times .

little known fact , the heated rivalry really started back in 1984 my jr year . last play of the game it was an a gang like brawl on the field players squaring off with other players and even a coach or 2 .  this was after a hard hitting game where we won 14-7 . the next year after a heart breaking lost  21-27  to huffman that prevented us from getting that 2nd playoff spot  to go too the playoffs , we would play barbers hills at their place we jumped out to a 19-0 lead game should have been over they fought back and we just quit !!!  fights with b hill on the field that lead to penalties (12 for 89 yrds) our own players turning against each other on the field , players arguing with coaches on the sideline we just fell apart . we were still upset and hurt from losing against huffman the week before we didnt get over it and they came back and spanked us 22-19 . they finished 7-3 we finished 6-4 20-3a was stacked that year it was a tough district . we lead 20-3a in yards per game , we had the leading passer and rusher in the district that year . b hills was always a hard hitting game !!!!

im sure it will be some cinderella stories in this format , eventhough i prefer the 2 teams from each district . i remember when they went from 1 to 2 teams in in 1982 . that year in 22-5a tj won the district title and  westbrook because of the new format got in and well the rest is history .( but inretrospect that hebert team went 13-1 in 1981 lost to willowridge in the semifinals game . but had studs coming back ) i just think in my opinion its wartering it down , just like all district picks are watered down , its like everybody makes something , under the older format a lot of kids wouldnt have made nothing , but hey one thing that is constant in the universe is change !!! so we adapt . alex durley one of the most underated coaches coaches in texas football history  97-13 in 9 years 6 district titles, 1 zone title and 2 state championships .

did i hear correctly that next year they will have smaller schools playing one another ? i guess if a school is like 450 that will be schools that same size , instead of a school that is 450 playing a school 1004 ? im freaking out that they will have 4 schools coming out of one district going too the playoffs .
