purple reign

My guess is that we will see a lot of pooch kicks on kickoffs tonight on both sides with all the dangerous kick returners. Piotr Wlostowski, an exchange student from I think Poland, Angleton's kicker, is capable of kicking it out of the endzone, but he doesn't do it on every kick. Pooch kicks was one strategy I noticed PNG using when they played La Porte.

JV report Angleton JV 35, La Porte 7 Angleton didn't throw their 1st pass until there was just a few minutes left in the game. La Porte passer was pretty good but threw 2 ints.

LOL. Let's just play the game and then we'll know.

I don't think Angleton will stop throwing to him, even with Duron out. They may not pass as much. Angleton uses a lot of end arounds and Jammer has carried 11 times for 94 yds. I suspect they may use more this game. Jammer is 1 for 1 passing for 12 yds. Jammer is also a threat on kickoff return, both he and Ace Simple. Angleton's OC is excellent at coming up with concepts. He has been with the team since 2011 except for three years. He left in 2015 irc to take a head coaching job at Boling where his team went deep into the playoff both years with playing in the state championship game the second year. He must have decided after that. that head coaching wasn't for him and for one year took an OC position at George Ranch. The next year when Brittain became head coach and Berneathy left for Dobie that there's "No place like Angleton" and reclaimed his old OC job.

Duron was hurt in Angleton's 1st drive of the second half when it was 35-0. Jackson was hurt early in the 2nd quarter when it was 21-0. Duron was also the team's punter. Late in the second half Angleton sent in WR Cade Estrada to punt and although pressured got off a good punt.

This game could be for the district championship although Crosby could still be involved in a 3-way tie. Both teams are in the top 10 in the DCTF poll. Angleton is reeling from a couple of key injuries last week playing Kempner. Their QB Bryce Duron went down, he who has passed for 1367 yds. on 66 of 89 throws (74%) and also has carried 25 times for264 yds. So he can't really be replaced. In his place will be the 3rd string QB Damien Simpson since the 2nd guy went down several weeks ago and is out for the season. Simpson has completed 5 of 7 passes in relief and has run 5 times for 58 yds. So it's unsure how this changes the offense. Simpson is only about 5'8". Making matters worse, WR Wesley Jackson was also lost who has 429 yds in receptions. Taking his place will be the HC's older son, Jake Brittain who is 6"3" but only has 5 receptions for 58 yds. I thought this game would be streamed on LPsportsnet, but I don't see it mentioned there.

Why did PAM slip from #6 to #17 in latest DCTF poll? PAM seems impressive to me. And I thought they only did a top25 for 6A.

!!:0/49/F Angleton loses WR Jackson early 2nd Q, then QB Duron their 1st drive of the second half.

Angleton Freshmen 34, Dayton 20

Massey ratings predict La Porte 37, Crosby 28.

Massey ratings have PAM 38, Lufkin 20

Friendswood at this point seems to be the favorite for 4 seed in District 11. The order of the top 3 teams in District 12 seems to be very much in doubt. They all seem to be close to equal. If Weiss beats Anderson the last game of the season, (and Weiss is at home) and other games go as expected it could end in a 3-way tie with the top 3 each having a record of 1-1 against the other 2. I assume points differential would be used for seeding.

I'm sure the schools in Regioin 3 would like that, but the UIL last time set a precedent by granting their petition. Why would they allow it in '24 but not in '26?
