Coldspring had not been shut out since 2019 by Diboll… not often you see a 3-0 final score game

Don’t know what to say, Coldspring came to play and Diboll rode the back of their defense again with a shutout.

Diboll might have something to say about being the district champion. They’ve still got to play Coldspring but they already beat Woodville and Westwood

Was it Kville that Coach Alvarez coached at before he left for Ennis I believe?

If woodville is healthy I’ll give them the edge, they’ve had a stronger schedule and are battle tested. Give me woodville 28-24

That WW QB is a freshman, he’s a coach’s kid Diboll has a bye week next week then travel to shepherd

I’ll have to give the edge to Westwood just because of their defense. Had the Westwood QB not turned it over 3 times, this score could have been much different. Diboll’s D had much to do with those turnovers and WW’s turnovers on downs. But I was impressed with their defense, they definitely closed the gap some from previous years. Although they did have a couple weeks to prepare for Diboll with their bye week last week. Not sure if they’re a young team overall but if they are, lookout for them next couple years.

They were to #18 LB

If Diboll can just get their offense going they’ll be a tough out for anyone. I know Westwood has been scoring a ton but Diboll kept them out of the end zone and were able to get some key turnovers. Held woodville to 6 and WW to 3 is impressive

I don’t think it’ll be video streamed but you can get the audio stream at www.dibolllumberjacks.com

Westwood has been lighting up the scoreboard this season. They travel to Diboll for another key district matchup. If Diboll can make a few stops, I like their chances. Westwood will score some but can their defense keep Diboll out of the end zone enough to win?

Kville should get the W

I would agree, not sure if Westwood has had the most difficult pre district schedule, while Diboll has, they have played Madisonville 5-0, Franklin, 5-0, and Kirbyville, 4-1. They have been tested. Diboll’s two losses are to Madisonville and Franklin, and not blow outs either. Diboll will be ready

Diboll D did a relatively good job containing the Eagle QB, who is very shifty and good arm, major credit goes to the secondary for great coverage. Woodville QB couldn’t find an open WR most of the game, aside from Woodvilles first drive with long pass, Diboll secondary did a great job. Can’t forget about the Dline as well, they were able to get going in the 2nd half. westwood freshman qb Bryant will be the most dynamic QB Diboll will face thus far. Westwood offense seems explosive so will be a tough challenge for Diboll D.

I’m sure Westwood was in the house tonight with their bye week this week… they are at Diboll on homecoming next Friday

Y’all sleeping on kville

Kville has a solid team

I think on Diboll’s part you can read into their game. They do tend to always play Franklin well, and is sometimes a measuring stick for them to see where they are as a team. They were able to keep in check the lions O, but still not enough to win. Diboll HC has a history of knowing how to run and defend Franklins style of offense. If you know how to run in, then you understand what weaknesses to exploit. Obviously no team has been able to do that AND play a complete game against the lions, I mean they have a win streak of 30+ plus games, that says it all . They’re just so good at it plus play well in all aspects of the game. Sure if you look at the Woodville - Franklin game you think this was very close because woodville was able to do certain things to keep it close but Franklin appears to have had uncharacteristic unforced turnovers that led to points by Woodville. That wasn’t the case versus Diboll. They played a pretty clean game aside from one fumble. this will be a close game but I’m giving the edge to Diboll due to their defense. Offense still trying to find their identity, getting the kids in the right position. They might not start really clicking until week 8, but when they do, watch out

Can’t go against the Jacks, give me Diboll by 7

You a former coach? I respect your insight on lot of topics

Considered to be a top matchup in the district this week, the winner of this one will be in good position to vie for the district championship. This will be another close one like last season. If Diboll get some consistency going with offense, getting some key players involved, they should be in good shape. Their defense has been their strength up to this point. One common opponent in Franklin. this will be a good one

How’s HJ looking this season?

Let’s keep the conversation going. These are this week’s results. Palestine Westwood 52 Palmer 44 PW was still questionable going into this game but this one raised some eyebrows. Their defense may be suspect so they may have to win by simply outscoring their opponents with what looks like a high powered offense no real surprises with the other scores Buna 24 Crockett 8 Orangefield 35 Shepherd 21 Liberty 17 Woodville 54 Diboll 13 Franklin 28 HF 30 Coldspring 8 Tarkington 37 Huntington 7

With Franklin in Diboll this week, you have to play mistake free and disciplined, that’s just to keep the score respectable, but to have a chance at winning, Franklin needs to have a few mistakes, more than a few miscues, for the Jacks to have a chance. It would have to be an uncharacteristic night for them as that’s just not how they play. Diboll usually plays Franklin tough and put together a good game plan, as everyone said already, just hoping for a clean injury free game

I still believe that Woodville, Diboll, and Coldspring will be battling it out for 1st. If I’m honest, Woodville is the team to beat. They looked really strong when I saw them in Diboll last season which Diboll won 21-14. Could have gone either way. I believe they returned a good bit. Of course you have Coldspring who beat Diboll last year but I still left more impressed with Woodville’s capabilities. Palestine Westwood still has to prove they can actually be competitive against a true solid team. They’ve had a couple weak opponents to start the season. I believe Palmer will be the first true test to see where PW is this year. The PW freshman QB will only get better and will be a fun one to watch. Does he have the supporting cast? They’ve been at the bottom of the district last couple of seasons With what Diboll lost from graduation, it’s a toss up to where they land this year. they’re not short of talent, just experience. They get Coldspring and PW at home so maybe home field advantage gives them an edge
