Would love to see it, Offense has been a problem the past two seasons, particularly at tailback. If we can put a couple of big time threats back there, we might have a shot. A lot would have to go right. 

Going to have to replace that QB Simmons that was the bulk of the offense.

Coldspring going to make a push in the 3AD1 region. They are bringing a loaded wagon. 

I highly doubt that unless they have some Jr. High guys coming in as freshman that will be on varsity or something.  I can only see them pushing for a district championship and even that's a little bit too much for them as far as the upcoming season goes.

Every starter on defense is back and nearly all starters on offense return. Got at least one Freshman that will be making an impact on Varsity.

They were 5/5 last year. Those coming back were not that good last year. Expect more of the same next year. 

Many were sophomores. 4 of the 5 losses were by a TD or less and they beat Diboll. Very common for a young team to have inconsistency. There is an incoming freshman that will impact both sides of the ball. Contending for District is the minimum.

My apologies, they will win state.

Expect them to improve, but they’re not going from missing the playoffs in a district that had 0 teams make it out of the second round to going to state.  Diboll beat a 4-win team in the first round of the playoffs by a fg, then got blown out in the second.  An upset win over them is not any sort of indicator of a playoff run for coldspring next year.  Their other 4 wins came against opponents with a combined record of 8-32.  I like their chances of finishing 2nd or 3rd in the district next year, and maybe winning a playoff game.  To have them mentioned in a thread about teams making it to state is beyond a stretch.

Understood. Outside of Franklin the region is not immense with powerhouse programs. The initial statement was that they will contend in the region. I guess we will see. Just out of curiosity, other than Franklin, who do you see as the Regional power?

Lorena was a little down last year, but won a state championship the year before.  Yoe is in the same district as them and is generally very good.  Columbus also comes to mind as a very good team that’s capable of making a run (Franklin beat them by 3), and Hitchcock should be good again next year.  But all roads lead through Franklin

    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
