Gotta love SETXsports! Good luck to your Indians, they’re in very good position to take another beatdown from my Cougars that first Saturday in December.

They absolutely did. Now turn on the film and look at LH on the offensive and defensive line. They’re completely different in their class vs what Vidor is in theirs, not to mention the level of athlete they have at other positions. LH gained about 400 kids this past realignment cycle, they’re going to be close to a 6A school playing in 5A-D2 the next two years. They’re not anything like Vidor’s situation.

Good season Vidor, can’t call it great because no matter the Pirates history when you play from the 1-hole you need to win your playoff game, period. Injuries suck, but they’re a part of the game and if you’re going to run that type of offense then those rb injuries are going to be waaaayyyy more impactful than the will be for other teams. I’m sure one of your Pirate fans can correct me on the particulars but I’ve been on here since 2011 and I don’t remember Vidor having a defense as stiff as they did this year in a decade? I don’t care what your history says, you hold Jeff Riordan and those level athletes to 25 points you’re supposed to win the game, period. Much like when Liberty Hill won their state titles, Vidor is the big boy on the block now. Weeks ago I talked about Vidor at the line of scrimmage and if you go back and look at the two long runs CH’s qb made, that’s where Vidor lost it. Even when the Pirates were bad in 5A they had better offenses than the one they do now on the regular. If you can’t drop down a class and consistently put 35+ on hood competition then it may be time to revisit what you have going? Y’all aren’t the little kids trying to make up for a talent deficiency anymore.

Wait a minute. You mean to tell me you think that “Screwed Up Click tour” comment was as awesome as I did? I didn’t think many of our posters knew who that was? I don’t have a Facebook but that was definitely the post of the year in that group from what my cousin told me. That guy is right though. I wasn’t high on BH beating FBM until I saw the FBM vs Madison game. FBM won the game 56-0 but what I saw was a team prime for the picking. Think about it, BH just beat the #2 team in the state but was three points away from a catastrophic result against Dayton. PNG is an overtime loss away from finishing second over what turned out to be a 10-1 Texas City. The district makes our records suck but boy does it get us ready.

Don’t worry about the defensive statistics in this one, first team to 50 wins. PNG is going to be severely tested at the line of scrimmage this game. Jalen Washington is sitting just shy of 2,000 rushing yards and he has a solid o-line to run behind. PNG needs to play clean offensively and they’ll need to have their best tackling game of the season or those Montgomery backs will make it a slow and painful transition to basketball season.

I think this one is going to be a low scoring defensive affair. Both offenses have had games where they’ve scored some points but I don’t think either offense is good enough to have much success against the others defense. I think you’re liable to see a 23-17 type game right here. This is your classic game that’s decided by a turnover or special teams error/TD.

Nah, as far as the legendary ISD stadiums in THSF Stallworth is probably top five. Any time you get a chance to bless it with what would be a game of that caliber, you do so. It would probably also be the location of an all 12-5A-D2 regional final too. Prior to that you drop 10,000 people in there Thanksgiving weekend though. NRG can wait until the semis.

That’s called “snow-flake ball”, we don’t play that over here in 12-5A-D2. You take your whipping and move on to the next week. In GP’s case “next week” involves free throws.

Black Friday at 6pm. We’re going to ride out to Lufkin and show Marshall what that real SETX pressure feels like, y’all handle y’all’s business and we’ll meet you on Archer.

It’ll be the game at Stallworth that we never go to play against Dayton, that one was supposed to be a regional final game BH finished 4th so now it would have to be in the regional semis. Right now I’m not too sure TC can’t clean out that other side of the bracket?

A couple of PNG posters were trying to ding me up after y’all went down to TC and did that 7 point face plant and I still stuck behind that analysis, rightly so on their part though. Glad y’all were able to go take care of business. Being respected is awesome but being feared is even better. Considering what they’ve done to them I figure Consol. is probably pretty scared of FBM, I wonder how they feel about the team that just brutalized them?

Marshall is the weakest team of any of the four teams we’ll be playing this week so making matchups where you were trying to get another sweep this isn’t one you would set up, but if you excluded those two teams then this is exactly how I would set up the three remaining matchups. TC can play a 21-17 slobber-knocker with TH, PNG can win a 52-48 shootout with Montgomery and BH can grind down Consol. 35-31. All the speculation aside, 12-5A-D2 once again proves that we play from the most treacherous district in the region.

Great job from PNG. If you’re going to beat Montgomery you need to clean up some of that low hanging fruit though. I left at the end of the 3rd quarter last night but I saw some things PNG needs to tighten up on immediately if they’re going to make the regional semis. Crippen is still missing too many easy throws, the ball is on the ground too often and PNG’s defense is still a work in progress. If GP had any kind of qb PNG would’ve given up a lot more passing yards last night. Several times PNG was beaten off the hard play-action and GP just couldn’t execute the throw, Bolfing is going to hit that on you next week against Montgomery plus you’re going to bite even harder on the fakes because of how much money their 2,000 yard back will be getting against you. I think PNG’s defense is going to give up 40+ but I think the offense is going to be able to move the ball with relative ease against the Bears. PNG also gets an area game closer than your bi-district game which is a stroke of good fortune.

Man, I was looking for another highlight but the only other one I saw was another long run from him just like that. Crazy that kid is a freshman, Rio knew where to go. Part of the that argument “Are you really that great of a coach or are you a great coach when you’re at a place with great talent?”.

Crosby vs Marshall Saturday 2pm in Lufkin Abe Martin Stadium

12-5A-D2 combines for a 154 point sweep of 11-5A-D2. We go from three favorites against one to the inverse of one favorite against three. #10 Crosby vs Marshall Barbers Hill vs A&M-Con. PNG vs #7 Montgomery Texas City vs #6 Texas High

Congrats, y’all deserved that one. This is what I felt like y’all could be since I saw y’all play us. Had me looking real dumb after the TC game. Definitely y’all’s biggest win since moving up. A&M-C is going to be a different animal next week but enjoy the hell out of this one this weekend and I hope to see y’all at Stallworth on Black Friday.

That’s actually pretty respectable considering the competition y’all have to play but that “previous staff” part kind of sticks out in that statement.
