You're right. I'm just saying they're well coached and have a few players. BH is going to need every bit of 40 to win, and maybe even more.

I know I mess with y'all but I know this is a different kind of hurt. I truly hope y'all start a new streak next year, win or lose it's always fun to play and see the Broncos at their best.

Y'all have them to end the season, they'll probably be even better by then.

Porter is actually good now, Dayton probably didn't play bad.

My app says 44-42 Porter Final?

Lol, been looking to see who would give up a TD first tonight.

BH's staff has that offense figured out. They're shutting out Splendora, who also runs the slot-t, at the half.

Good job by BH. A quick stat is that they've played 6 quarters against the slot-t offense and only given up 6 points between Vidor and their current game. BH's staff seem to have this thing figured out.

Well Dayton fans, I know the last thing y'all figured would happen after you ran Hancock out of town was that your 20+ year playoff streak would be on the line in week 7 but realistically that's exactly the case tonight. Just because everyone likes and wants to play for a coach doesn't always mean he's the best option when so many other qualified candidates applied. Everyone may not have liked Hancock but I bet the kids that were left playing for him really wanted to play football, not just be part of something with their friends or play for their dad's buddy. I think you can see what the right hires have done at Crosby, BH, Porter and New Caney. I think you have seen what can happen when you make the wrong one at a place like Kingwood Park. That being said, the Broncos still have a glimmer of hope if they can win this one but as the season has showed thus far, they just don't have the coaching to maximize their talent level anymore. For kids that are used to winning most of their games I think it's tough on their psyche coming off back to back blowouts and losing three of the last four in district play which has probably never happened to them at any level since they've been playing football. Hopefully Dayton gets it figured out for the rivalry's sake but after watching Jim Holley tonight Bronco fans might be even more disappointed.

Porter and New Caney should be sitting between the 1,900-2,000 mark next alignment. Using today's numbers Cleveland would have to add over 1,000 students before the next re-alignment to move straight to 6A. Huffman and Cleveland will most likely come up to 5A.

That's because you don't know about recruiting. All the best backs in the state are sitting on multiple offers right now. He doesn't even have an FBS offer yet while three other 21-5A backs already do or committed to FBS schools. He's a very good player but his numbers look better than normal because they'll keep giving him the ball late in blowouts like last night.

They would get Manvel in the second round.

Lol, you honestly think Cameron Cauthen is better than Jaiden Howard? Your other qb played against us last year too on the freshman team, we beat them 38-6 and I believe Jaiden threw 5 tds. This year he had 300+ total yards and at least 3 tds, BH probably didn't even put up more total yards than Crosby had penalty yards with the starter they have. I would be willing to bet BH could've scored more than one offensive td on Crosby with him playing qb. We'll revisit this on signing day in a couple of years and see who's evaluation was more correct. PS- That's weird you talk about arm strength when Jaiden has to be told to dial it down sometime. If one of the BH's kids dad informed me correctly, during the Santa Fe game before the end of the half I believe BH wanted to throw a hail mary to the endzone from like the 40. They pulled Cauthen out and put the sophomore in because he had better arm strength. I've been watching the sophomore play for four years now, his arm is nowhere near Howard's.

You're talking about Port Lavaca I think. PLC gets to play down in region 4 all the time so their enrollment gaps are relevant but not as much as in regions two and three. I think Ridge Point was just looking past them in anticipation of their matchup with us. When we won the region in '14 Hutto had a larger enrollment than we do and Cedar Park was about 400 students larger at the time. Manor had about a 400 student enrollment advantage on us and Ridge Point had about a 700 student advantage on us and will probably be D1 in 6A this year after competing in the 5A-D2 bracket last year. I could only wish we got to play in region 4 D2 where the only real teams you have to beat are PLC, Tivy, Calallen and sometime Cedar Park. Angleton isn't even good this year and will probably still play their district mate for the region 4 D1 title.

We scored 26 because that's what we needed to win, if we needed more we could've gotten more. No need being up 3 tds at the end of the third quarter and running fake punts to make the margin wider for the newspaper, that's what you have a defense for. We don't need big wins to build confidence because we were down for some years, we just need to be peaking when the games mean the most and get through the others healthy.

Jaylen Gipson, Mexia - Multiple FBS offers and probably would have more if he was on a good team. Goes about 6-2/200lbs and is rated a 3*. Poppy Brown, Gilmer - Over 2k passing already and about to be an East Texas legend stat-wise Jamal Williams, La Vega Connor Pingleton, Celina

Never liked playing at Turner, especially on a short week. I don't think Splendora is very good but Humble did beat them after they beat Dayton and if Splendora could catch they might've beaten New Caney. Humble has also had two weeks to prepare so maybe they make it a better game of it than most think? I think New Caney ends up pulling away in the second half but I wouldn't be surprised if Humble's athleticism gives them trouble here and there. Even with all the onside kicks Humble held NC to their second lowest scoring total in 11 games last year. It's just hard to see Humble being able to score enough points to get the W this year.

Thank you for summing that up. My initial post wasn't to try to make Neumann out to be a cheater which I think is kind of the perception. My point was that somebody who's been a relatively successful head coach for over two decades absolutely should know not to get into a gray area when dealing with player eligibility, rather intentionally or just from being overlooked. I think this is a completely different discussion if the violation was self-reported to the UIL like Katy's was.

Wait, the waiver was filed with the UIL, "The UIL saw something and contacted the school." MEANING THE UIL NEVER CLEARED THE KID INITIALLY AND NEUMANN PLAYED HIM ANYWAY? Paperwork with the UIL usually isn't filed until something happens at the district level first. If everything was on the up and up WHY DID PAM VOTE FOR NED TO FORFEIT AFTER SIGNING THE RELEASE? Do you not understand that or choose to believe the garbage you're being fed? *Somebody break out the transfer rules to make sure I'm not relaying a misnomer. Any kid transferring into the program must sit for a set amount of time as specified in the transfer rules(Number of days?). I believe it's 15 days. Laday came to Ned and didn't sit the allotted amount of time which Neumann knew about. Tells me he was negligent on following up on the information dealing his "surprise" transfer from down the street or he felt like since PAM signed a waiver for a kid they didn't need nobody would turn him in for trying to skate around the rules. Either way he's at fault. The Oliver boys transferred from King the prior semester but never played for Crosby because Riordan did his due diligence, same reason the new o-line transfer from King had to sit. The difference is the first game of the season when we played Nederland Riordan knew he didn't need them to win.

Lol, I wonder how some of the "it's not official yet" Ned fans spin that one. The eligibility waiver wasn't approved, Neumann knew that AND STILL decided to play the kid anyway. When he saw what he was dealing with this year he just got desperate for the W, or is that still considered speculation now that the DEC basically relayed that notion with their 7-0 vote?

You do realize Netherly didn't play much more than a couple of series in the BH game, right. BH got carved up by the backup qb, even though we blew you guys out I wouldn't say Crosby played overly well that game either. We're the deepest team in the district, a lot of our backups like the qb and rb would start for BH. Porter caught Crosby in a perfect storm and capitalized like a well coached team does. In 2014 when we went to the semis we won three of our first seven games by a td or less and lost the last game of the regular season. You'll see that when it's time for Crosby to go, we'll go. Just like we did for the BH game when we thought it might be for the DC.

You do realize the after you were embarrassed by BH the next five team you beat currently have a combined record of 9-18, right? IDK how you include anything about beating 1-5 Nederland when they already lost to Dayton at home in regulation and Dayton has basically lost to everybody else on their schedule. Not beating them at home in 35 years shows how bad and how long y'all have truly sucked, not how good y'all are this year for beating a down version of them. I know y'all are so thirsty for a decent product in Vidor you won't be able to see it that way, but when PNG blows y'all out this weekend you should just go ahead and drop your boys completely out of the top 10. At that point the two best team you played would've both beaten y'all by multiple tds but I'm sure you would find some justification to leave them in there. Maybe then you'll realize what you are instead of speculating on what you might be.

Somebody would have to actually respect you for you to be disrespected and nobody does. When a guy asks other mods how they voted Crosby in front of Porter after a 3 point overtime loss on the road, yet he votes Vidor two spots ahead of BH after losing by 5 tds at home you look like a fool. You look like that a lot though so I'm sure it doesn't make a difference one way or the other to you. I appreciate the offer but I don't think I could stand to sit at a table with you for any length of time.

The difference is that BH is coached a lot better than PNG. They're both soft on defense but it's harder to expose BH's softness now. Last four games I've got to see PNG play they given up 49, 56, 41 and 48 respectively. Angleton mashed it down PNG's throat, Dayton slung it around the yard and Crosby did a little of both. After supposedly having a decent defense last year they gave up 89 points in their two playoff games because up until then they didn't play anybody that could score efficiently except Nederland who they also lost to. I really don't even think blowing Vidor out Friday means much.

Seriously dude, ". . . this offense flourishes in the playoffs. . . " LOL??? That's why people laugh at y'all. One bi-district win in over five decades and you're talking about an offense flourishing in the playoffs???? That was BH's first time seeing it and they beat you by 5 tds. PLC runs the same offense Vidor does and does it with a lot more talent yet Crosby almost shut them out defensively like BH almost did in the opener. You can't look back five years ago and point to two wins the offense gave you without pointing to the 23 losses it's given you since then, or the 70+ losses Mathews had before that. People in 5A don't run that offense because they don't want to go 2-8 or 3-7 for the 5 to 10 years between playoff births, that's totally acceptable in Vidor though.
