That is correct. Coach Ware took over a decade long dumpster fire. It takes some time to instill the degree of discipline that Dayton has now. Dayton operation is first rate (though I do understand you dont want to believe it). I look forward to hearing back from you when my predictions come to pass.

Dayton did not lose enough starters for Nederland to be in play. Dayton also has some key players joining. Dayton is well above where Nederland is at the moment and next year (and the next few after) Dayton will be a favorite for the District Championship. The players that left are why Dayton is likely to finish 3rd this year. Dayton system and process are among the best in the state. Nederland is at the place where they hope to beat GP, Willowridge and SF.

Beating "Nederland" only makes a program "not a bottom feeder". But Dayton will be contending for District Championships in the foreseeable future (after this year). Dayton is probably tracking for 3rd this year for reasons mentioned by others regarding turnover.

It says a lot. Feel free to confirm or dispel its accuracy after they play during the season. Nederland will not be beating Dayton for the foreseeable future.

There is no chance Nederland will beat Dayton.

I watched some of their film and did not see a RB that looked overly prolific. Just wondering if he might have been on JV last year.

What number was he last year?

Was he #13 last year?

Understood. Many RBs play similar schedules, and none (or few) have eclipsed his production. He is 6'2" 200 lbs and runs a 10.5 100m. Multiple D1 colleges (and their "analysts") believe he can play RB and have extended offers to do so.

Lol. In comparison to what schools? Compared to Carthage all schools are weak. How many yards did everyone else have against Carthage?

I could see him going to LB because he is likely to carry 220-225 lbs within a year. However, I have not seen another RB put his foot down and cut like him in many years.

What do you believe he “projects” as at the next level?

Not sure what schedule you are talking about. You believe Tatum, North Desoto, Daingerfield, Van, Rusk are “weak”?

Understood. Dixon is one those D1 backs and there are not 30 RBs better than him. His production is the result of his ability.

Picked mine up today at Walgreens in Cleveland. Shocking note that DCTF does not have Kaden Dixon from Center listed in the top 30 RBs. I would love to hear how many RBs in the state had more than 33 TDs and 2200 YDS rushing last year.

LOL. WOS doesn't have athletes to run 3-4. They have athletes to run a "50", but not "3-4". 1. I wonder how many of the naysayers could watch a 50 or 3-4 on film and tell the difference? 2. What specific personnel is at WOS that enables them to run a "50" but not a "3-4"?

They have made many statements that the retail release would be reduced this year as retail distribution is not in their future business model. They want everyone to get the online subscription.

No doubt. They probably view you as a "blessing".

Yep, I am told he is a great talent. Just a tall order for a sophomore to take over as a starter at QB. It would be reasonable to assume some growing pains.

LOL!!! You think they can beat Dayton but not TC and SF? You live in an interesting microcosm. Also, there might be two district teams "better than Silsbee".

Lost a few good players but year 4 in the system should keep them as good as last year. Discipline in the program is second to none.

Great question for "5AD1 District 8 Prediction" thread.

They have stated that they no longer want to be in retail distribution as it is antiquated and not cost effective.

I suspect they are trying to condition/push everyone to getting a subscription. This year is looking the same as last year but with a different story. Seems like it would have hit a store by now. Would like to hear if anyone has seen it in a store yet?

With Tatum at RB, LV would have the slight edge at that position for this year. Carthage with KJ Edwards would have the edge for the next two years. Carthage also has one coming into 9th grade (came from Pine Tree) this year that will slot right after Edwards. Also got the FR RB from Shelbyville that moved in. Expect Suratt to be the superior QB. Kash Courtney from Carthage will be the top lineman on the field. To name a few.
