This game will be a humdinger! Round 1 & 2 were tight and with Round 3 being played on a neutral court it could go either way.

Gotta go with the boys from EC in OT by 3 pts.

could Warren sneak up and beat East Chambers? Lemme know what you think....

Anything can happen but I wouldn't bet the farm on a Warren victory.

4 players from 24-AA earned All-State honors from the TSPA

Justin Williams - Deweyville  - Second Team RB

Tramain Thomas - East Chambers - Second Team DB

Micah Menard - East Chambers - Honorable Mention OL

Paul Trammell - East Chambers - Honorable Mention LB

Congratulations to these young men!

Could go either way. Both games were close.

East Chambers has a good coaching staff. The Assistant Coaches have worked for 3 different bosses in the last 4 years and made the playoffs every year. You don't do that unless you have good assistant coaches on your staff.

Am hearing EC has two Juniors up for WRS award.... Tremaine Thomas (Off) and Paul Trammel (Def).

Tramaine Thomas is a tremendous athlete on both the football field and basketball court. Paul Trammell makes the most of his limited athletic skills by playing with a big heart. He had a solid season despite playing all year with a pulled hamstring and later a deep thigh bruise both of which limited his mobility.

Good luck to both young men. Having 2 finalists for the WRS award is a great honor for the entire Buccaneer football team!

Donte Raymond is a Soph. now. That guy just grows and gets stronger and faster every day. Gonna be a "hoss"!

He'll have some big shoes to fill next season!

Warren jumped out to a 12-0 lead before the Lady Bucs decided to play some ball. Lady Bucs dominated once they got started.

It's tough drawing the #1 team in the second round but hopefully the Bucs will play their best game of the season and pull out the win. Bucs need to get over the mental block of playing Mart and take the game one play at a time.

C'mon Bucs, you CAN do it!

Year in and year out' date=' Mart has phenominal athletes. I don't know how that happens (never having a "down" year or two). It's mind boggeling. No matter, the Bucs have made us SO proud this year, and if we go down, we can look back with a ton of pride. We have a good program in place, and should have lots of good days ahead. 11-0 so far, and it's been a great ride! Thanks to all our friends on this board for their support this year, both in words and actual attendance! [/quote']

Mart gets a lot of "overflow" from the Waco schools. Good athletes that can't compete in the larger 4A & 5A Waco schools. Pretty common with schools that are located near metropolitan areas.

who all do you think is gonna be the top dogs and whos gonna be the worst teams?

EC, DV & Buna will have a lot of starters returning next year. DV loses Justin Williams which is going to hurt them. Anahuac should be improved next year. Don't know who Warren, Kountze or Hardin will return for next year.

Gotta support my neighbors' date=' go Bucs. I'll be there Friday.[/quote']

The support is greatly appreciated!

Anything can happen on a Friday night but EC will have to play their best game of the season to upset Mart. EC can't allow the game to be played on their side of the 50.

Great game by both teams. EC's defense needs to step up a little so they won't have to rely on their offense as much' date=' but all in all, good game.[/quote']

EC defense played on their end of the field all night. EC fumbled at their own 30 which led to Hemphill's first score. Then Hemphill returns a kick to the EC 10 which leads to their second score. Hemphill got their third score when EC forces a fumble and a Hemphill player scoops the loose ball and scores. We couldn't catch a break the first half and Hemphill played a solid game.

Very important. If the coaches aren't on the same page with each other you can't expect the kids to be either.

Only the district champion should advance to the playoffs. I recognize that some good teams will be left out but that's the breaks. When I was a Jr. in HS we lost one district game to a team that made it to the quarterfinal round. They beat us 7-0 on their home field and we were the better overall team. Hurt like hell but that's just life. Under todays playoff system, being district champ doesn't mean as much as it used to.

Mosely should be player of the week but Donte Raymond from East Chambers should receive a helmet sticker for his performance against Hardin.

9 carries for 119 yards and 4 TD's. Pretty good considering the game lasted all of 2 quarters!

EC should have a couple starters back that missed the last 2 or 3 games due to injury. I don't know enough about Hemphill to predict a score but hopefully EC wins.
