Silsbee (56) vs Cuero (58) - FINAL

One last comment on this from me.  Silsbee would have won the game if they'd played it at a high school stadium.  High school goal posts are 23'-4" wide.  The NFL goal posts are 18'-6" wide.

I thought it would be cool to play at NRG but it really wasn't.  It's too big for 4A football from small town schools.  The traffic was a nightmare and it cost the Tigers the game.  Let's don't do that again if we can avoid it.

They change out the goal posts for high school games.

Not according to the folks I spoke to and what I saw on the video.

It is what it is.

Both kickers used the same uprights. No advantages either way. Although that is a terrible reason, not excuse, for the miss.

Now I'm wondering if that's typical for NRG. Did they change them for the PNG game? If not, this information should be passed along to coaches looking to play there in the future.

If this is true, it’s sad. Better to be lucky than good. 

Are you insinuating Cuero isn’t any good,if so you might wanna reword or something because that was 2 very evenly matched teams…to win the whole thing you have to have some luck on your side,calls and such go your way!

I hope it's not. Can you imagine a pitcher working with a smaller strike zone, a basketball player shooting at a smaller hoop, a soccer player kicking to a smaller goal.

Good question. No I'd hate to see that.

Getting off topic briefly. MLB made the bases bigger. Did college and HS do the same? No, so if they play at a minor league stadium. They bring there own bases, or both teams share an offensive advantage. Opposite of this FG, which was an offensive disadvantage.

Kinda like converting on 4th and 13?

There was plenty of luck going both ways. The fact is that Silsbee had the more athletic team and got beat by a team that adjusted and executed better. 
 

You know what I didn’t see from Cuero? They didn’t give up 14 points in the first 3 minutes of the second half. They didn’t get a false start in the red zone, get bumped back five yards, then miss a chip shot game winning field goal. They didn’t fail to convert their 2pt try in the third overtime.  Their players weren’t racking up personal fouls and I never saw Gobblers squabbling with other Gobblers… but I did see the Tigers do all of those things. 
 

Do you know what gifted teams do when they get beaten by inferior teams? They blame “luck.”

The constant arguing amingst players after mistakes, throwing of a helmet on the sidelines, 2 coaches arguing, etc...was not good.  As a setx resident with no connection to either school I will state this as I told my buddy during the game, I came here wanting Silsbee to win and the longer this game goes the less I have a vested interest.  Although improved under the "new" regime, until that mess stops Silsbee will continue to do less with more than anyone in Setx. The kids deserve better, including being disciplined.

    • This is good info. It doesn’t really break out for student athletes though. LP & (I think) DP are open enrollment because of the way the towns intertwine. That’s the way it’s been for many years anyway. I assume it still is that way. The kids have a choice after Jr. High to go to either High School because LPISD has elementary schools in DP. As I recall, DP didn’t want to build out more (Robin Hood issues), and so DPISD & LPISD came to an arrangement because LPISD is one of the highest givers to Robin Hood in the state, and it helped both keep more funds in district. Of course, LPISD is open to all. Not just DP, and LPISD is rated well. So, I assume they have kids from elsewhere also. Not positive though. They used to have a lot because—for decades—DeWalt was the only dedicated public school in the GHA that specifically catered to special needs kids. Families from all over enrolled. But, they didn’t participate in extracurricular activities like sports. So, LP’s total enrollment made them 6A. But, they were really a 5A school all along for sports program sake. This is all as best as I can recall from when I was more involved in school issues. I’m sure a lot has changed since then. My kids have been out for 20 years.
    • Our playoff rivalry. They hold a 6-5 edge in the series. I think Newton continues the win streak in a hard fought contest. What say y’all?
    • Has Elmo gotten his aggy premature extension yet?  Pay him already because you guys were exactly right - he really does “get you.” 😂🤣
    • It’s been awhile, but I seem to remember 5 D starters out & 2 O starters out (OL). A big difference is that Simon wasn’t involved yet. He’s totally changed LP’s rushing attack from last year as a bruising, explosive addition to Barnes, Sandolph & Bright. Last year—and early this season—LP was missing that element. Now, Coach Berneathy is not making talented players wait like many other coaches & even his predecessors at LP. If the kid can produce at the varsity level, they’re moved up. And man, has Simon produced! Over 1200 yards & 20 TD’s in less than a full season so far! It’s allowed LP to alternate RB’s where Barnes doesn’t take all the pounding. Barnes and Sandolph are also able to split out as receivers as desired to add threats that weren’t really an option last year. The PNG/LP game was a full-on tilt & good for both squads. I remember Gary Joseph in the end zone giving his son pointers as an extra set of eyes since he’d had experience with LP in past PO matchups. That was a good game. The score wasn’t really indicative of the game. Not sure anyone felt it was over until the final whistle! Good luck to y’all in Cajun Country. Bring back a win for SE Texas. (Yes. La Porte is still SETX. Ha!)
