We pride ourselves on "Dime a dozen players"... That's the type of kid that plays with an edge and all heart. That's what enables you to beat teams that you shouldn't. And trust me, Lamar, needs all of that they can get....... Look at all the 5 stars that never amount to much... UT is battling that issue right now... However the Jordan Shipley type excels....

What he had was a connection to the Lamar staff... Now those coaches are gone. Nelson got a full ride, and a few years back the Sullivan kid got a offer with Morse. IMO, Nelson was the best selection of the group. From what I understand he now coaches at Lumberton. I wouldnt think you would see Sullivan on the field in his time at Lamar. The X offensive coordinator for Lamar had 2 kids playing at PNG. He's gone, so now is the connection...

Lamar is behind the game on many local kids. IMO, the ones they get are middle of the pack that put up decent numbers. It's hard to believe that they have not offered. For anyone that has seen Riggs play, he can outrun any team in the district. Look up PAM and Central games if your not a believer. The difference between Riggs and Nelson is size and speed. Nelson made every acrobatic crazy catch you could think of. Riggs does that as well but can burn a defense with speed, and is a mismatch because of his size. If he puts on 20 lbs or so he could play and excel at a Lamar type school. But as we have seen through the years, Lamar seems to let these types go through without a reasonable look.. ( ala Elandon Roberts), who they felt was local so he shouldn't get a full ride... or KJ who they thought was too small. So I caution anyone to wise crack or negative comment on Riggs. He can go....... And has proved it all year....

Crosby gets a BYE in Round 1.....

I think i am just gonna pick up an extra overtime day on this one...

Purple and White PeanutMan!!!

That's not an issue....

First Round game will be difficult... Barbers Hill again...

Why does Chumperton have their starters in the game?

Is this game on the radio?

Come on man.... I give the Chumps a compliment and I do not even get a LIKE?!!!!!!!

For all of the Chumpees............... 20-0 Chumperton, teams still in warm ups......................

Although he is out there honestly he is just handing the ball off to backups. I often wonder why everyone questions why he's always in the game. I hear the word overused, so many times. This is high school, and I promise if his numbers go down, offers go down. Would everyone prefer to just save him for college? I could understand if he was running the ball but he's just handing the ball off. If that's what the team needs then so be it.....

Because IMO the rest of the district is cupcakes. I have no idea how Vidor beat Central. I just think Vidor is an easy out in the playoffs. I did not see much from them when we played them. In the end they will get in and be one in done... No moral victory just a honest assessment, if I where a coach and got the choice to pick Vidor or Central as my first round opponent, I would Pick Vidor. It's the easier out.... Central has better athletes, speed, and a better defense. Obviously something went wrong against Vidor, it's just my opinion. Central seems to always be that bubble team that shoulda woulda and coulda. If they finally get over the hump, the days of anyone else getting in over them other than the top 3 are over.

My opinion is those SHOULD be.

No bets.... Just my opinion.

I stated, that's my picks and I am staying with them.

With Playoff implications on the line, the Jags and Indians came out on Thursday night ready for action. My thoughts..... Central, without there first string QB, started the game with a disadvantage. But that's the way football goes. I thought offensively they ran the ball well at times, but the passing attack was struggling most of the night. Play selection appeared to be better than years past, meaning they where not as predictable. The coaching staff seemed to have it together and Definately had the team playing hard until the end. The defense looked pretty good, other than the few long plays that the WRs got by the DB. But give them credit, they played man coverage with a single high safety all night. After seeing the whole district play now, IMO, Central is a top 4 team reguardless of the final standings. I hope they make the playoffs because they have some speed and talent. With the exception of PAM, some of the district teams look like JV squads. Central does not, they are a good team and can get out of the first round if they are clicking. PNG, offensively there where periods where you could see what they can do. But overall, I think what you saw was a "B" night. RJ was amped up and played pretty good. He did miss some throws that he usually doesn't, and he did make some highlight throws that no one else can. IMO, the running backs need to get more consistent when they hit the hole. My example is the few times Hughes ran the ball, he hit the hole for a quick 5 yards, no dancing, just getting yardage. PNG needs to work on that. Riggs, well he's a BEAST, and I'm sure no one will contradict that statement. Defensively, I thought they did well. Lots of missed tackles, but still made plays. #37 and #47 where difference makers. As for the DBs, last night was the first night they looked for the ball. So some good coaching has taken place. Kudos to those guys for 4 picks.... I do not think that was PNGs best game, but we are peaking at the right time. A couple of special team issues need to be fixed, however, #30 is still money even though he missed 1.... So my stance has not changed. Playoff Teams should be Central Nederland PAM PNG IMO that is the 4 best teams that can give the best showing for the District..... And Central is not a team I would sleep on in the First Round!

On to Ozen....

That’s a punk a## comment from a PNG fan....

Still some things to clean up for both teams. Weird play on the punt but it’s all what it is. Central has a good defense, man up single high safety all night. Just looking to run clock and get out of here...
