Tough Games Ahead For EC


Recommended Posts

Guest ECBucFan

These tough games will be a good prep for the playoffs. EC plays all 3A's in predistrict, too. Although I don't predict EC scores, I do know EC respects all and fears none. Coach V & staff reps us well.  :) Good luck Bucs! Lets bring it!  ;D

Alot of post have been made about Buna's weak schedule. Well East Chambers combined record of teams they have played pre-distirct is 9-19. (Shepherd 1-6, Orangefield 1-6, Hardin Jefferson 3-4, and Hamshire Fannett 4-3.) Buna played Orangefield also, so is their schedule reallly that much tougher than Buna's. Buna's combined record of teams they have played is 6-22. (Orangefield, Burkevile 1-6, Tarkington 0-7, and Hull Daisetta 4-3). Each team will have played one playoff team in pre-district. (and H-F still are no shoe in.) Best of luck to both teams and you can forget about each teams record because they do not put points on the board for the best record, you have to earn them. E-C is a very good football team and Buna will have to play well to win but either way I think it will be a great game.

Who anyone has played doen't matter, it is irrelevant at this point.  This too is a dead horse. 

This game will be a great one, no matter who played who with what record, or uniform color.  That comparison is just dumb.  My dad thinks it will come down to who makes plays and controls the ball.

i dont mean no disrespect when i ask this, but why is it EC can be sooo good during the season, then hit the playoffs and get blown out?  I remember my senior year, it was Cody's senior year also, i thought for sure they were going to win state, I actually was chilling with Cody and told him that during a volleyball game, and they lost.

I hope they can do it this year.

I think we in the Southeast area of our state think we play the best football in all of the state.  Well, you gotta know that there are GOOD teams all over the state.  So going through district undefeated is a great achievement locally, but those play-off teams aren't impressed.  In the play-offs the old expression, "On any given Friday (or Saturday) any team, etc., etc." really comes into focus.  It is incredibly hard to run the table in the play-offs.  But we are so spoiled with our teams and football in this area that if we don't have a state champion every other year we feel that the season was a bust.

yeah, you got a point. I just hope more than one team at least makes it, I know of one that will (not gonna say the name.....yet)

Buna in this one.  I think EC is pretty much a one man show.  Buna plays as a team and will prevail by 14.

why does every one think EC is a one man show, yes thomas is a big part of the team but hes not all of it, if you would watch one of their games you would realize that. Raymond, Mcdonald, Hallmark, Penny, Trammell, Lambert are just a few of many ec players that help the bucs win, and again if you have watched one of their game you would know this. when i watch them play i believe that they always play as a team. So until you go and watch ec play to see for yourself, you go ahead and keep sayin uneducated stuff like that.

    • Bye Week beat Beaumont United by double digits so not all is bad 😁
    • He made the comment as a business man he hated overtime. He never said or implied he wanted to do away with it. He has said overtime should not be taxed. That will benefit the refinery workers in our area big time…..as well as nurses. Not only would you not pay taxes and see the benefit immediately on your paycheck, my guess that at the end of the year, you would subtract all the overtime from your total wages, thus lowering your taxable imcome.
    • Well I thought it would be a better matchup for us more so than us versus yall and we got whooped 🤷🏾‍♂️ we'll see, long time before Ball High meets Lufkin though. 
    • Very critical win for Crosby last night. At no point has the current regime given me any reason to think Crosby should be able to pencil in wins but for the sake of discussion I will for FB Kempner who we play two weeks from now and also Porter who we play a couple of weeks after that. That means if Crosby can beat Kingwood Park next week we’ll most likely finish district play 5-2 and in at least 3rd place.    That being, the team could be a lot better if we had a competent offensive coach. Crosby’s offensive philosophy is to give it to Yarbrough and hope he breaks it which is why we lose to team with above average defensive talent. Crosby’s TE Landen Hammer is 6’2” and about 210lbs with crazy ball skills, an absolute mismatch problem and got one target last night. Friendswood realized Crosby had some playmakers on the edges and lots of times gave the receivers a 10 yard cushion. The problem is that Willis doesn’t know that so not once did we just raise up, throw it out to the receiver and give them an opportunity to be an athlete and make a play. So now that we’ve averaged 8 completions per game through our first four contest because 50% of the time Willis chooses to swap out 50% of the offense we look like we “don’t have the receiving talent that we used to.” Yarbrough probably had close to 300 rushing yards last night but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had 35 carries. I like our backup RB but there are several kids who could help Crosby more at that position and Willis chooses not to play them there and feed Yarbrough to the point he couldn’t even finish the game last night. He continues to display an inability to efficiently use his personnel which is why we get blow out by any team with at least equal talent. Maybe something changes but Willis being 6-19 his last two and a half years on the sideline and his inability to shake the Cedar Park model don’t give much hope, which is unfortunate for the kids. 
    • Big girl is trying to make Oprah sound like Bam Morris, who was busted with 220# of weed in the trunk of his car. When the cops opened the truck and found the weed, Bam said,”That’s not mine”. Give me a break.
