I keep hearing from everyone in the know saying Woodville will be better this year and the next 3 than last year. I guess my eye for spotting talent is fading. I hear we do have a freshman Quarterback that will make a name for himself this year.

I thought your starting QB was a jr. last year.

The real question is will woodville be able to do any damage in the playoffs? It doesn’t seem like they have made many deep runs despite their regular season success.

I think he is actually better at WR. Was playing QB to fill a need… I could be wrong though.

That's correct. He could probably play just about any position with his size, athleticism, and football IQ though. The upcoming freshman QB is very talented and hopefully he's ready to play at the varsity level. Seems like he and his JH team had a difficult time adjusting to a tougher district between his 7th and 8th grade year. It'll be a even bigger adjustment moving up to varsity.

Interesting note. Anahuac’s 23-24 roster shows Brady Barrier- sophomore  QB 6’1” 187#.

He may be on the roster, but I assure you he's taller than me and I am 6'2

Maybe the Barrier's thought it would be best to stay at AP ?

Negative ghost rider.   Barrier is enrolled into Rusk HS according to a source close to the family.

That makes since. The roster was probably made out before he left. Thanks for the info.

If this is true he would be in the district with Center, Carthage etc.. Quiet a step up.

And following "back to back" McCowns.

I hate Anahuac lost the young man, he could have done great things in 3A.

Sky's the limit for Rusk now, I guess. 

[CCRanch]

AP’s new QB will be there next Wednesday. Not as good as Barrier but will be better than anyone on the roster.  Still should win district IMO.

The limit for Rusk is when they meet Carthage.

Seriously, I know... I was just trying to be kind. Last year Rusk was fourth place, 3-3 in their district, lost 49-0 to Carthage, and lost out in first round to Gilmer 25-7. With or without him, I doubt Rusk will even win District once in the next 3 years. I sincerely hope I am wrong.

Personally I just don't see the point of going to a fourth place 4A Rusk, but I respect their decisions. We talk from a football perspective, and that fine, but as for life and career decisions they know whats best for them. I will always respect that.

Yep, good days lay ahead for Anahuac, with or without the recent departure.  

[spidersal]

Anahuac, East Chambers, Orangefield, Buna top 4

I look for Orangefield to win district

Didn’t Orangefield lose a lot? 

[buccaneers4lyfe]

Yes, but supposedly they have an incoming sophomore who is the real deal. My prediction is Anahuac/EC/Orangefield/Kirbyville or Buna.

Brady is featured on the site called QBhitlist. I think he made a mistake leaving a good system at Anahuac. Coach Greg is one of the most talented and likable person I have known.  Anahuac will move on.

You think losing to Carthage 49-0 and "not winning district" in the district with Carthage is an indictment on Rusk? Wimberly was beat the same way in the state championship by Carthage and they were better than any team in this region. Carthage will be 64-0 after the next 3 years are complete and they will be the preeminent program in the history of high school football. 

Rusk just sent out consecutive D1 QBs and has been one of the more prolific offenses in the region for the last few years. Rusk also has a strong group coming up from the lower grades. Rusk is a great place for him to flourish.

Skys the limit.

Looks like Carthage has a good coach that can develop his players into what he needs to win Titles.  

[spidersal]

Anahuac, East Chambers, and Orangefield all have good coaching staffs, I am picking OF because Smalley seems to find a way to do it

Yep, many of them move in already “developed” from other programs. Regardless, he is going down as the greatest coach that ever stepped on a football field in Texas. Do you believe that Suratt is the metric for judging good coaches?
