Hardin's win over Orangefield is impressive . . . any year but this one. Anahuac, Hardin, and Orangefield seem to be very similar on paper. I'm going out on a limb here to say that Anahuac takes this one simply due to history. Anahuac hasn't lost many to the Hornets and this year will be no different. Prove me wrong.

Is it too early to bring this up?

Lost to a team that has definitely proved their worth!

PAM will not win district - you heard that here first. PAM does not have the offense to beat New Caney.

No, he's jealous of the only team in the state Top 10's that has just 1 win. That's OK, DCTF is showing respect to a program that has EARNED it.

Maybe I’m wrong but this is what I thought I saw. 0-0 1’s, 2-0 Dayton 2-3’s, 1-0 Dayton 1’s. That was the controlled part. Live half - 13-0 Dayton. Broncos look more athletic than they have recently. Threw the ball quite a bit but many completions. On defense they bent a little but shut down the run game. GC did a good job stopping the quick pass game but looked tired towards the end and they broke down on the running game and gave up big yardage. Offense was a struggle for GC but had their moments. #12 can play ball. I watched GC play once last year and they aren’t the same team. Good luck to both teams.

What about Tyler and Texarkana? Lufkin can go up there.

Welcome back to reality Deweyville. Congrats on a good year though.

Careful . . . . last time this subject was mentioned it was deleted!  Guess we are hiding things around here. . . .

Been waiting for this one!  Shepherd took a step back this week but so did Cleveland!  Shepherd beat Huffman, Cleveland did not.  IMO, Shepherd has a good chance to win this one at home and get into the playoffs.  Who ya got?

[quote name="liltex" post="1314268" timestamp="1351562899"] Hmm did some school dist play a ineligible player w/penalties pending ??? [/quote] read this and thought a team was in trouble

who played an illegal person this week/?  are they in any trouble?

any body looking for a easy win? play clevelands JV team! 

no discusion needed here. Huffman is WAY to much for cleve.  i have been wrong in the past but huffman has an offense that will destroy the cleve def. There def will stop indian offence too! Take that to the bank  Huiffman 51 cleveland 2

[quote name="hawgtuff" post="1283647" timestamp="1348789768"] Tarkington Fish 22 Cleveland Fish 19 Final [/quote] just a lil taste of whats coming to ya. get ready cleve cuz Tarkington gonna whip ya tomorow.

1 more thought before the whipping takes place. Honcho, you keep actin like hj isnt very good.  if they pull out one more upset they could be in the playoffs. last week they beat one of the areas top teams (east Chabers). an upset? yes but still they won. theres a guy on cl;eveland staff that hasnt been able to beat EC in quite some time. The choke bug travels . . . . think it mite show up this week?

[quote name="89falcon" post="1282877" timestamp="1348709950"] [quote author=Mike_Honcho link=topic=103618.msg1282615#msg1282615 date=1348685590] Your right Stangbacker let Cleveland play that thump, thump. That's right y’all beat them last year.  Remember the Indians beat the Longhorns 70-12 last year.  Cleveland returned nine on Defense and two on offense.  I think the Indians offense is not as good as last but the defense is better.    My prediction is that yes it will be a good game but Cleveland pre-district schedule has prepared them for Friday night.  Sealy, Madisonville, and Kirbyville are all playoff teams.  Who have y’all played that will make the playoffs.  And don’t say HJ because Cleveland dominated them in their scrimmage. [/quote] Madisonville is not going to the playoffs and the other two are not locks. [/quote] ^^^ true^^^ u act like cleve has already beaten playoff teams.  madisonville will not make the playoffs, sealy might get in the playoffs and kirbyville will have an tuff time getting in with their tough district.  you didn't metnion the team clev just played.  how about washington? they lost to a 5A team that tarkington put away easily.  Clevland was actually in a position to lose to them from what I understand. The more i have looked at cleveland history i believe more an more that tarkington stands a great chance in this game.  Hoping that cleve fumbles the ball like they have and the longhorns will capitalize on that weak defense. Game will kick off soon, get ready clevland its time to accept a loss to tarkington!

[quote name="Mike_Honcho" post="1282281" timestamp="1348659232"] Combined win loss record for the teams clleveland has played is 7-7 the combined record tarkington has played is 4-10 Don't know much about strength of schedule but I think it favors the Indians [/quote] Instead of strength of schedule look at actual numbers.  Tarkington avg 26 on offense and 15 on def.  Cleveland 22 off and 15 def.  tarkington has faced better defenses than clev. Seems like it might be a defense game but I still think clev def will not stop tarkington.  I also think tarkintgon plays better def than what the indians have faced this year.  I am sure cleveland doesn't mind losing though . . . . they get to start bball sooner.

[quote name="belle-mere" post="1282273" timestamp="1348655790"] As with most young teams, Tarkington's play has been inconsistent, but improving weekly. I don't know if they will beat Cleveland, but I expect a competitive game and I expect more victories this year. Someone said they would go 3-3 in district, which is a realistic expectation. We'll see which column this week's game goes into on Friday night. One difference observed this year at Tarkington is that these guys believe they can win, even if they are behind, and there's always a chance they will. Cleveland has good athletes and coaches, and I think they have the best chance of being the third or perhaps the second place team in district this year, but you never know. That's why we play the games on Friday night. [/quote] Just looking at each teams schedules up to now, Cleveland has played teams that are traditionally good but are not very good this year (Kirbyville, madisonville, Sealy). Lost to one and won another in OT. Tarkington beat a 5a team last week. Maybe 42 is too much in your opinion but just watch. Longhorns are city champs this year by a large margin. Write it down.

Cleveland's defense hasn't faced an offense like Tarkington. I don't think they can stop the longhorns. I am also willing to bet that if Tarkington gets up on them, the tribe won't be able to overcome it. Longhorn offense is too much for Cleveland. Tarkington 42 - 12

Coach Huck, you have done a great job with the Bobcats.  You will be missed around there! Whoever takes the job will have big shoes to fill. Is there anyone on staff to take over or will they post the job?  If it is posted, who are the front runners?  I have my pick!  ;)

Is there a list of finalists yet?

I know Pachuca has ties to Deweyville but Cauthern would be a great hire.  If they get him, expect the Pirates to improve quite a bit!
