I think Richland vs Forney is a pick em game

I've only seen one game online and I was impressed...very dynamic offense....I think the defense and lack of team speed on that side is a concern and Richland is good enough to expose it...I kinda think it'll be a high-scoring game with a slight lean to Richland just because of how DFW vs Houston the past few years mostly goes (I usually do the same thing when an Austin team plays a San Antonio team lol)....but its hard to get a read on this game because of lack of common opponents/history etc

if the key players for Silsbee are 50/50 type deals I suit em up but only play them in absolute emergency...Silsbee should IMO be able to handle Gatesville with the MASH unit they had at the end of last week's game as I dont believe Gatesville is quite as good as Sealy

#1 isnt a bad back, when he needs to flip the switch he can as evidenced by his perfomance against Timberview when he had to get tough yards...Richland has IMO the top interior OL prospect in the state in Daniel Cruz who is committed to TX...they'll use him in key moments at DT as well...

Forney's defense is pretty dominant early

I don't know with 100% certainty why H-J and Liberty are considering opting up, but I know what the optics of it are It's a loophole in the UIL Realignment policies and these two would not be the first to "utilize" it. But this I think is going to cause the UIL to put some guardrails around opting up in future alignments

Bingo

14 points If there's a 3-way tie 1) BH 2) PAM 3) LP

There was a DEC today....basically the max was 14 last year they changed it to 18 this off-season...whoever edited the document didnt change all the 14's to 18's...so there was discrepancy..... I have a screen shot of the doc but it won't let me attach because its too large..... section c says 14 pts section e says 18 pts was a 5-4 vote

So a little breaking news...there was some confusion with the coaches in the district regarding the tiebreaker...they met today and confirmed the cap is +/- 14 So if there's a 3 way tie it'll end up 1) BH +7 2) PAM -3 3) LP -4 La Porte likely headed to DFW Rd 1

Talked to two HCs in the district they both advised the tiebreaker is net points with an 18 point cap Once you go points you stay points If there's a three way tie between BH, LP and PAM 1) BH +11 2) LP -4 3) PAM -7 Port Arthur Memorial is likely going to either Forney or McKinney

Pretty sure Fulshear does it

I do actually....both major computer polls agree...Padilla has Longview by 8 and PigskinPrep has Longview by 1

Hachie and Mansfield are both way down from where they were a year ago....I was at Longview-McKinney and if you really look at that game Longview kinda controlled the game they just gift wrapped two touchdowns for McKinney and even then McKinney needed a last minute FG to win

Longview IMO would finish 3rd in 11-6A and 4th in 21-6A this year

Class 6A Crowley is currently 4-0 in homecoming games as well this year...they were 3 straight homecoming opponents Sept 7, Sept 15 and Sept 22...they won their own homecoming last week

Crosby will certainly need to make marked improvement in 2024 or I think the calls for a change will be significant

Let's not act like Willis hasn't been a successful head coach...we are talking about a guy who had a career record of 113-62 going into the year...he's been a head coach of a state champion and an state runner-up...he's got a strong track record... Timing has to be considered as well...Willis was hired May 18..you start getting into May and the candidate pool is going to be quite limited... I dont think any head coach hired could be fairly judged on what happens this year at Crosby because of the late hire, coaching staff almost 100% turned over and a team that already was a little down talent wise...The absolute worst thing Crosby can do now is make another coaching change at the end of the season IMO

Coach Willis isn't dumb he's not going to get on an interview platform and talk about the negatives of a job he was just hired at...if he did that, he'd be an idiot. He knew what he was getting into and he knew he was walking into a very difficult situation, will he be successful? Time will tell, I cant speak for the superintendent and all the other issues but I feel like all things considered she hired a very good coach

Fort Bend Marshall's offensive woes are mystifying

Agree 100% we dont need a PA announcer yelling FUMBLE while the play is going...talk about inserting yourself into the game....

They can submit anytime that week most do wait until Friday..we hope to have enrollment numbers starting on the 25th

Exactly, Allen was a 3rd place team and first round playoff loser last year and they are probably worse this year since they lost several key guys to transfers....
