Loss of 25 or so on the last play. Let's geaux Dawgs!

Looks like Pryor may be done for the game. His shoulder or arm is in lain

Angleton finally gets a 1st down.

Down 13-0, b I bet we have 3 Xs as many yards. I think we may be ok.

Another turnover. That's 4 of the last 7 plays. Can't bet anyone doing that. 13-0 Wildcats

3 turnovers over the last 5 offensive plays. Defense on the field a bunch! Need to get something going.

Angleton is tall and huge. Offense for Ned is struggling. Def for Ned holding strong. Angleton scores from 5 yds out. Have yet to get a 1st down though. Score off a turnover. 3 for Big Ned so far.

Weather looks good here. What's it like down there?

TW has a Sophomore RB who impressed me last weekend, and he will be tough for Katy to contain. TW Defense contained FB Hightower to one score, and Hightower did not look like a state Finalist team as they were last year. Not sure if it was bc they are not as good or bc TW 'D' is just that good. Hopefully The Highlanders can hang with the Tigers. [/quote] Didnt Hightower lose alot due to graduation? Also is that Soph for TW a Lasco clone or different type of RB? [/quote]Not sure about what HT lost to graduation. The Woodlands RB is decent sized, especially for a Sophomore. He has great speed, and he plays fearless. The kid is already very good, and he has serious potential.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1268785" timestamp="1347495204"] Then you would also agree that schools with open enrollment have an advantage too,  as well as Magnet Schools.  If memory serves me correctly, magnet schools were initially brought about to help with integration. [/quote]Excuse my ignorance, but what is open enrollment?

[/quote] And Yates abided by the transfer rules!!!!! [/quote]I have no reason to believe that they didn't transfer legally. However, it was suggested on this board (not sure from who) that these kids were going to Yates for academic purposes, bc it is a Magnet School. I think we all know they are transferring to play basketball. In HISD that is perfectly legal, but the playing field is clearly not even, IMO. A way to compete (in our area) would Be to allow any kid to transfer to any school and remain living in their current home. For example, a kid can remain living in Pt. Arthur but chooses to attend WOS to play a sport, but claim he is doing it bc they have a magnet school for journalism, when everyone knows he wants to play that sport for them. HISD is at an athletic advantage since they can choose the school of their choice. I don't believe that is why the magnet school status (of Yates or any other magnet school) was originally formed. It was for academic purposes only, not athletic.

[quote name="uandme08" post="1267832" timestamp="1347401377"] I can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading. Hey! This is a forum of opinions last time I logged on. The topic of this particular thread is Top Ten Players in SETX and people are entitled to their opinions. If you don't agree FINE, no sleep lost here but really the comments made about the kids that people have listed are ^%*&((^&* to say the least. Agree or disagree and move on, there's no need to "bash" or point out anything negative about any child. I commend any child that's out there and willing to put in the work to go to the next level. Heck I don't agree with alot of things posted and I'm entitled to my opinion. I hope the kids don't get on here and feed into the negativity. If my child is walking down the street and is offered a scholarship, you better believe I won't be mad that he didn't get the offer at a camp or after a game. Ok I'm off my soapbox now and waiting for the backlash. [/quote]You won't get much backlash when you speak logically. Good post, as always!  ;)

C.E. King

I would say any team between 1-8 (especially 3-8) could beat each other on any given day. Not familiar with LaPorte, so that one is hard to say. Maybe they are that much better, I don't know. Either way, it's a measuring stick, and it gives people something to debate.

Vidor all day! They win big again 30-6.

[quote name="texasaggie" post="1265811" timestamp="1347195599"] Montgomery survived their first two games and did much better than expected. Based on the rest of the district's performance, they could very well be the favorites to win district. We'll see how it goes though. [/quote]Much respect for Montgomery. Y'all probably had the toughest 1st 2 games of anyone! Hope the kids there aren't too beat up after playing such physical teams. Will definitely help them when playoff time comes around.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1265819" timestamp="1347196478"] Nederland is good, no doubt, but will lose to this Angleton team by 2 td's. [/quote]Come on Soulja, 2 TDs? Have you ever picked Ned to win a tough game in FB or BB? Anything could happen of course, but when was the last time Ned lost by 2 TDs? You're gonna lose cred with those types of predictions!  :-\
