First of all, Corrigan Camden didn't look like it was too easy as I watched Kirbyville struggle most of the night as CC pounded the ball at you, stopped your running game, and interupted a lot of passes. We all know the score is not the telling factor as the Wildcats scored two late scores. Second, don't overlook Anahuac - they have the weapons to upset anyone on any given night. And lastly, the winner of the Anahuac/Kirbyville game is going to face Arp who is loaded as well. So, the road to state is probably the toughest in the 2A brackett - dont get ahead of yourself bd04!!

All three teams in this district will have a very difficult time in the playoffs. Buna will play Newton, Hardin will play New Waverly and Anahuac will play Kirbyville. Newton will beat Buna but it will be a good game. Hardin cannot compete with New Waverly and Anahuac draws the states top-ranked team in Kirbyville. That being said you never know, that is why you actually play the game. Also, November is magical in Texas, you never know what will happen. Good luck to all of the teams in 23-2A in the playoffs. P.S. No disrespect to EC, I just think Buna wins and earns the playoffs.

Hey crazy, quit acting CRAZY - do you really think that district 23-2A is going to not have these two teams playing in district? Crap, that would send two non-deserving teams to the playoffs with the absence of these two teams. Trust me, things will be worked out. In fact, there is a district meeting tomorrow to decide what is going to happen in the district, and that meeting does not include the forfiture of Anahuac and East Chambers. One of these two options will probably happen: Week one of district will stay the same except Anahuac and East Chambers may have to change sites if they have home games or Week one of district play will roll to week 11 which is the open week of the playoffs for district 23-2A due to 24-2A not having football schools. The second option seems to be the most fair and obvious solution but you never know what they will decide. I know Anahuac will start practicing again this week but not sure about East Chambers. Trust me, neither team will be a forfeit and neither will be an easy one so gear up!!

Anahuac was up by 30 with about 1 minute remaining when I left. 64-34 (?)

Hardin and Kountze battle it out for the third place spot. EC and Buna go to war for first place. Anahuac and Deweyville will compete for a single win in district and Warren is on vacation. What will happen? My predictions: Kountze over Hardin 34-14 Kountze has the speed to match up with Hardin and they will keep pressure on the QB. Buna over EC 42-35 Buna is very disciplined and they play hard. As long as they don't turn the ball over too much, they will beat EC. Anahuac over Deweyville 14-7 Anahuac is coming around. They are playing hard right now even though playoffs are out of the picture.

Just want to let everyone know that Anahuac will take this one with no problems. A-1t.e.#3 (Matt Johnson) is the real deal. He blocks very well and catches anything that comes his way. The most impressive thing is his breakaway speed after he catches it. Watch out 24-AA, Matt is coming hard. He is a senior and ready to win district. He will bring it to you!!!

First, I would like to clear the score up - it was 3-2. 2-1 in controlled part and 1-1 in overtime simulation. Both teams had multiple interceptions but they were blown dead after the catch. Anahuac looked better than I figured they would. They have good looking kids there but obviously under a new coach and staff they will take a while to play to their potential. I know that the offense suits their kids there - they are running the ball a lot more this year. They threw the ball a few times. Passes from the pocket were not very good - in fact, two were picked off. When the quarterback rolled out they looked really good. It seems that the kids began the game really pumped up and excited but got tired really quick. I was impressed by the way they drove the ball in overtime simulation though even if they were tired. The just handed it off 4-5 times in a row and crammed it down BC's throat. BC looked better than what I thought they would. I figured that there was no way BC could run a spread offense but they move the ball well in it. They ran the ball a lot. They did a good job of picking Anahuac's weak spots and hitting them. Defensively, they swarmed to the ball. Like I said above, Anahuac moved the ball good but BC did not give up the big play. On a sour note, the officials did not do a very good job. It seemed that they didn't have much control over the scrimmage. They would flag some things and not others. I saw them mark off illegal procedure calls sometime but not others. I can think of one play that BC linemen jumped but the officials still gave them credit for a 15 yard run. It is just a scrimmage so no harm.

Is this really true? Does anyone know why he was not renewed? Was it the football record or something else? Any info??

:roll:

HJ has done well this year but the ball will stop rolling on Friday WOS 56-10

OK - Answer my last question. Is the Sherby(sp?) guy going to help when he comes back. Or is he coming back at all?

Cobb, There are plenty of excuses that you can come up with but one fact still remains - Anahuac lost to Kountze in football!! This is not the team I saw earlier this year - what happened to them? Don't blame it on age because these are the "young" kids that played Bridge City and Silsbee tough earlier in the season. Is the addition of your hurt running back going to be the key for you?

I don't know much about Hitchcock but what are everyones opinions on this one? Is anyone going?

I say Anahuac seems to be on the path for that. Losing to Hardin Jefferson and then having teams in their district that have strengthened may put them out of the playoffs. I sure thought they looked good against Silsbee but I was surprised last week to see the score with Hardin Jeff. Now is the test - Can they beat Hitchcock and Splendora before district?

I really doubt they actually ran the score up. I bet that Cathedral was just that terrible. Sometimes even your third teams looks great. And it is hard to ask these guys who rarely play to not try to score!! DP Fan, what is your honest assessment of the game?

Anahuac should take this one, no doubt!!

Anahuac will win this - mark my word!!

From what I saw last night, Silsbee was not very impressive. Actually the first team did not score on Anahuac's first defense. Also, Anahuac recovered 2-3 of Silsbee's fumbles/interceptions. Personally, I was not real impressed with Silsbee. Anahuac was small compared to them and they held their own - watch out in 2A, the Panthers will be tough!!! As for Silsbee, they looked big and physical on defense but I felt like their offense was slow. Also, what was the deal with the coach on the field during punt/fg times?
