I'll be in Orangefield Friday at 4pm for Hull-Daisetta vs Vidor 2's. Then Saturday in West Hardin to watch Kountze.

HD will get a better test compared to Beaumont Legacy.

Good job men, thanks for answering my question.

HD played Alto tough last season. 35-28 in playoffs. HD would most likely meet West Sabine or San Augustine this season in 2nd rd.

Hey guys, will Hull-Daisetta make it past the 2nd RD this season and get a playoff win?

Lets enjoy this season and watch HD's loaded team wreck shop. Finney is a great Coach and man. He and his family have a great set up, they are working with their best friends in the Huckaby's. Finney and family have been captivated by the pride and tradition at HD. I really think HD goes on a deep playoff run and Finney gets a raise, then stays for many more years. Plus, what a nice beautiful home they have bought. Since Finney has been in Daisetta, a new weight room and new field house have been built. Finney makes changes and gets results. HD NATION!

Hey guys, will Hull-Daisetta make it past the 2nd RD this season and get a playoff win? Also your opinion on the Lavalais brothers Darrell and Ken, last seasons District MVP's. Thanks.

Your starters run a certain number of plays and your backups will also. Sometimes Coaches decide to go game style for a certain amount of time or snaps. Anytime you face an opponent or a different team, there is a winner. It's completion, practice is against your own players. When the Coaches and players start thinking or feeling like there is not a winner, the competitive spirit is broken.

Tough District, Liberty has an uphill battle. Rebuilding from top to bottom and politics rule in Liberty. If you look at schedule, may win only 2-3 games.

[quote name="IronMike" post="1423736" timestamp="1376354031"] Why are they scrimmaging Legacy if there so good? [/quote]What a dumb question! Why are good teams across the State scrimmaging bad teams. lol. Why is Kountze scrimmaging West Hardin? SMH!  ::)

[quote name="aschom78" post="1423666" timestamp="1376340363"] I'll just say this. If the players aren't going out there to "Win" then what is the point of having a scrimmage? Practice hard play hard, practice soft play soft. [/quote]Good post.

[/quote] So if team A 1st team scores 4 TD's on team B's 1st team (team B's 1st team does not score), but team B's 2nd team scores 5 TD's against team A's 2nd team (team A 2nd team does not score), with all this done in a "controlled, set amount of plays, no kicking game" scrimmage, it's deemed that team B "wins" the scrimmage? smh  ::) [/quote]Don't over complicate it. An average football fan can tell which team won in a scrimmage.

They return too much talent to not succeed. Coach Finney has these kids believing they will win every game they play. Regular season will be a good test for HD. The only true cupcake on last year's schedule (Galveston O'Connell) was replaced with Halletsville Sacred Heart. This should be a solid test as they are coming off back to back state championship game appearances including the title in 2011. Hardin, Lovelady, and Normangee will be improved from last season. Groveton will be a tough game especially playing on the Indians home turf. They should be better than last season as well and will have good speed at the skill positions. Easily the two toughest games on the sked this season will be 2A foes Deweyville and Kountze. The Pirates return alot of talent and have a new coach who has turned the program around similar to what Finney has done at HD. The Pirates won't reap the benefit of four extra possessions (onside kicks) or homefield advantage this year. I thought DV was the better team last year, but not by the margin of victory that they won by. This season's game will be a great battle and I could see it going either way. The Kountze Lions are the team that will really be the toughest challenge to the Bobcats. Not knocking either school's kids, but I think Kountze has more talent than DV, but the Pirates are more physical and play harder. If the Lions show up and get up early, it will be over by halftime. If HD plays their smashmouth brand of ball, physical defense, and contains the big play, the Bobcats will win. HD will again sweep their monsterous district (all three teams) with Iola and Colmesneil being tough challenges. I see HD going anywhere from 7-3 to 10-0. Barring injuries, my honest prediction is that HD goes 9-1 in the regular season. Their 3 losses last year were to Kountze, DV, and Groveton. HD dominated Groveton (350 total yards to 130) but didn't get the win. That changes this season. For some reason I believe that HD splits with Deweyville and Kountze. I don't know which game they win, and which one they lose, but it will be tough to pull out both those victories. All three of those games will be closley contested games and the team with the will to win in the 4th quarter will win. I don't see a blowout in either teams favor in any of these games. If HD wins the district, they should get the 2nd place team from District 10. This will most likely be West Sabine or San Augustine (if they get past D-9 3rd place team in round 1). Alto and Mart will win their districts and both end up on the bottom side of the playoff bracket. I see HD beating West Sabine in the 2nd round before advancing to face Joaquin or Bosqueville in the 3rd round. HD pulls out the win and faces the winner of Mart and Alto in the regional final. Hopefully whoever wins that game between the 'Jackets and Panthers will be all beat up! Just my .02 cents which doesnt' mean much, but that's how I feel. Good luck to Hull-Daisetta and all the teams in the area. [/quote]I just seen where Sacred Heart is ranked #3 in Tapps this year, looks like HD will have some good games to prepare them for the playoffs. [/quote]Yes, Hallettsville Sacred Heart has won 7 State Titles, 2007, 2002, 2000, 1996, 1992, 1990&1952. Their all-time winning percentage is 59% of games. HSH lost in the semi finals game this past year to Shiner St. Paul. HSH will be a good test for HD no doubt. HSH will return RB Jonathan Vanek, kid is a beast, rushed for 1,974 yards and 29 TD's. WOW!

HD should wreck shop on Beaumont Legacy. HD's running game is sick! Gonna check out the Kountze vs West Hardin scrimmage Saturday.

HD is looking good at practice. Crazy how many athletes with size HD has. Can't wait for Friday, finally get to see the Bobcats hit another team. HD Nation!

HD vs Beaumont Legacy: Friday in Daisetta at Bobcat Stadium 6:30pm.

Espree will be a force on defense at linebacker and a power runner on offense. Also HD Senior TB/DB Tyler Redman along with HD Senior TB/DB Sean Burno have looked quick and sharp at practice. On the O-line Senior [color=yellow][size=8pt][b]Bryce McClutsky[/b][/size][/color] 6'2 180lbs has made the move to quick tackle and will excel at pulling and trapping with his foot speed. HD's practices are fast pace and intense, Bobcats are looking good so far. [/quote] That's twice.  Its McClusky. [/quote]Twice? Typo, sorry. Bryce McClusky will be one of HD's best lineman. In Finney's slot t system, pulling the lineman is vital. Last year HD couldn't pull as much, not the case this year, McClusky, Seth Dryden and Kendal Fregia have good foot speed and are real quick.

Possibly 7-3 if Normangee comes to play. I have them beating Hardin, Groveton, Deweyville, HSH, Normangee, West Hardin, Iola, and Colmesneil. I have a close loss to Kountze and I see them getting beaten by 10-20 points by a VERY good Lovelady team. District champs and I see them making a decent run in the playoffs until they meet a powerhouse. [/quote]We beat Lovelady last season.
