Wait, what? You can bet TXHSFB at the sports books in LC?

If those boys of yours play football, they don't like you very much right now! LOL.

The X-Factor, IMO, is Gary Joseph, who now has a lot of free time to crunch SOC film and help his son game plan to stop their offensive attack. PNG just picked up a additional assistant coach for this one. I really think this will make the difference.

Fellas, Silsbee was two games away from the title game and lost to a very very good Cuero team. That is a great success in 99.9% of the programs in the state. When you get to that level, the little things tend to rear their heads and cause teams to lose. Discipline, heart and experience usually tend to be the difference. Otherwise, we would never see a team like Liberty Hill continue to have the kind of success they have against clearly more athletic programs at this point in the year. Silsbee should celebrate the great year they had and work on fixing the small things that created the difference in the game. As far as experience goes, now they have that. Discipline can be created during the offseason, and heart must be brought by the players.

I had no idea he was playing at Angelo. Great article. Thanks for sharing

I read where Surratt's son was the Freshman QB in there slinging it against VA at the end. I'd let him rip too. If I put my underclassmen in the game, and you can't stop them with your first string, you don't deserve any mercy.

LCM is a cautionary tale for Lumberton to work not to emulate. When LCM lost last year, all of SETX assumed they were back and the train would keep on rolling. Unfortunately, they fell off a cliff this year. Lumberton would be served not to get too high on themselves and enter the offseason with the same hunger they had this offseason when expectations for their success were 0.

New Waverly was ranked #9 in the state at the time Anahuac played them.

Dang good if you ask me. It sure is a good thing that Jasper finally got that silly Coach Barbay to move along so they could have some real success.

Prayers for you and your wife. May the Lord heal her and comfort you as he has promised in His Word!

Ah I see. Your son was being recruited as an "edge rusher" and since he wasn't being used for "edge rushing" you assumed all his dreams would die due to Reyes scheme on defense. A scheme that just won you and your "edge rusher" son a district title in a district with LCM, Huffman and Vidor, and a pretty good chance at a DEEP playoff run. Don't worry, I am sure your son will still be allowed to "edge rush" at Austin College, or whatever program told him he was being recruited as an "edge rusher".

Yeah. First round playoff games in the slop are normal things. Often times it benefits one team over the other and has always been seen as part of the game. These decisions to adjust game times and days to avoid playing in the rain are soft as baby bleep.

When did we start moving games due to weather?

Oh Please tell me Ol' Tomcat Lilley is on that staff with yall over there!!

And we are thankful for you input on the site.

I agree with that. The group coming up is loaded for sure. Unfortunately, I think something is going to have to happen in Huffman to inject some new life into the football program, something to create excitement, and I am not sure the powers that be are willing to do anything differently than they have been doing. I have friends there who go to home games and say the crowds are tiny and not interested in the game at all. The community needs and the kids need something to get excited about again. Probably a full scale culture change.

I absolutely agree with everything you said here. My only question pertains to #1, with Dayton's open enrollment status, their clear commitment to becoming a local power again, and the buzz that is starting to surround that program, do you think more will go to Dayton in the near future? Those younger classes have decisions to make when it comes to the football program and, really, those decisions need to be made this offseason. What's the feel around the community with the new coaching staff? Is the confidence still there? I only ask because I know it was kinda "meh" during the hiring process this offseason and struggling like they have this year couldn't have helped that.

If Crosby loses this week, are their playoff chances shot?

Man. This is a pathetic comment. If I hand my kids over to a coaching staff for many many hours a year, during one of the most formidable periods of their lives, they are indeed helping raise my children. I institute morals and standards at home, but the influence of coaches (and teachers for that matter) play a huge role in children's development. It's not easy to understand what was being said unless you are looking for error, which clearly you are.

Short memories on this board forget, it wasn't too long ago that Dayton dominated those golden triangle teams year in and year out. Dayton isn't the new kid on the block, they're the kid that has been down on his luck recently. The culture and expectation is there, now the play and coaching is starting to match what the community requires. Watch them become a power again....it's starting as we speak.

Stud Sophomores are already on varsity in most situations. That renders JV results worthless to everyone except the kids and parents who are involved in the game.

Don’t let unrealistic expectations from others on message boards lead you to disparaging a 15 year old kid. Kid is good, he didn’t call himself top 10 in the nation. He just shows up and works and is a very very good prospect. Even in a loss last night, you could see that. Dischler is also quite the player. No need to step on one in order to elevate the other.

Guess birds play calling is back in full effect

Great game. Wack just couldn’t defend the T and the zebras blew the bounce pass in the 4th. Eh, shake it off and get ready for next week panthers!
