Pirates on the move. 1st and 10 DV on HD 25. 2:12 in 2nd

Freshman Victorian with a great run and fumbles. Pirates recover on their own 7 yard line. Nice strip by Pirate safety.

HD recovers pooch kick. 1st and 10 HD on DV 39.

Aguirre punches it in from a yard out again. 2 point conversion stopped. Bobcats - 14 Pirates - 14 7:30 in 2nd. No Broussard for HD since unsportsmanlike call. Not sure if he was ejected or coaches decision.

Nice return by HD. False start bobcats. Once again i didnt See it. Back em up 5. Nice run by Victorian. huge applause from the HD crowd. Defensive holding on the Pirates!! 😂😂

DV scores on the next play from 19 yards out. 2pt conversion stopped. Bobcats - 8 Pirates - 14 11:18 in 2nd

Not getting any better. Unsportsmanlike foul on Broussard for “tossing” the ball back to the ref too hard (after a no fumble call that HD recovered). Tack on another on for good measure. 30 yards pirates. Here ya go. HD fans are getting seriously unruly

HD punts on 4th and 42 (seriously). Pirates take over on their own 49 after a nice little return.

OMG what’s going on!! 8 penalties on HD already and I’ve seen one legitimate call.

HD vs DV and the refs so far. Hope these calls even out soon because right now it’s one sided. And I’m not one to whine about officiating.

Deweyvillle returns the favor and grinds down for an opening drive score. Converts with a 4 yard gain on 4th and 3. 2 point try is good. Bobcats - 8 Pirates - 8 2:50 in 1st on a side note the lighting is horrible and hard to even see. 9 portable light plants setup on the track and the one on the 50 on HD’s side is completely out. Been that way since kickoff and no one is coming to work on it.

HD scores on opening drive. 2pt good. Bobcats - 8 Pirates - 0 7:53 in 1st

Lovelady up 22-0 mid 2nd

LL up 8-0. 5min left in 1st

To answer your first question, a bunch more if I’m a betting on it. And Buna’s coach won’t out coach Barrier. Not to say he’s not a really good coach, but that’s just my opinion. They’re not evenly matched athletically in my opinion, so Buna should win. I dont don’t have a dog in this fight, just calling it like i see it. To be honest, HD has a much more athletic team than Hardin but Hardin was able to beat them. HD is young and lost their starting QB at the half leading the Hornets 8-6 which contributed, but HD was out couched 100% in the second half. Adjustments were made and Hardin outscored HD 19-0 in the second half. The problem is when a 2a-II team right down the road with 40% of your enrollment has more athletes on the team. And we’re talking about Hull-Daisetta, not Mart or some crazy athletic outlier. Same with Hardin’s game against Hearne that’s a 2a-I team. At some point it’s not about X’s and O’s, it’s about Jimmy’s and Joe’s. And Hardin doesn’t have many of them from what I’ve seen. I’m not trying to be overly critical of those kids by any means but I’m sure they know they’ll be outgunned every game. And as far as Hardin losing for the past 80 years, sometimes a program forgets or has never learned to win. They don’t expect to win. A coach that can instill that doesn’t last long enough to impact the younger generation. And in a small community genes and lineage have a huge part in team’s success. Hardin wasn’t athletic 25 years ago and as a tight knit community with below average turnover and move-ins, it makes sense they’re not a super athletic team now. Several of the best athletes from Hardin in years past have moved away, some just for the very reason of giving their children a chance to compete and win at a more successful program. I’m older than dirt but Buna was always on another level than Hardin from a talent standpoint and that hasn’t changed. If Buna loses, it will be because they are out coached and the Hardin kids played harder.

I think Buna wins but don’t think it’ll be a blowout. After watching Hardin play twice this year two things are evident. 1.) They will have less athletic kids than everyone they play. 2.) They’ll probably be coached as well or better than every team they play. After seeing Hardin play Anahuac last week there’s no way the Hornets should have played within 10 points of the panthers. Of the 10 best athletes on the field, Anahuac had probably 8 of the top 10 if not 9. Same thing when they played Hearne to a 14-13 game. Ned Barrier is a difference maker over there in Hardin. I’m not sure if they’ll ever truly compete in this district for a top spot but he’s getting the best out of what he has without a doubt. My prediction: Buna - 28 Hardin - 12

Bobcats win this game handily if they don’t get dominated in the trenches. DV is bigger, stronger and more experienced across both OL/DL. If HD can hold their own and get their playmakers some space, it’ll be a track meet that DV can’t compete in. If the Pirates do control the line of scrimmage and the time of possession and turn it into a slugfest, they will come out on top. Really depends on which team is able to impose their will (and style of play) upon the other. My Prediction: Hull-Daisetta - 38 Deweyville - 18

Anahuac with a 27 yard FG. Hornets - 6 Panthers - 10 8:09 2nd qtr You beating me to the punch AP lol. I’ll let you handle the updates

Panthers strike right back on long halfback pass. Hornets - 6 Panthers - 7 3:46 1st

Hardin up 6-0 6:12 1st

Everybody is sleeping on those young Bobcats but they’re pretty darn good. Congrats HD!

Makes sense 👍🏼 and yes we will.

Didn't Deweyville beat Colmesneil by 40+ a couple weeks ago? Figured the Pirates might be ahead of the Bulldogs. And HD will be up there soon ;)
