Anahuac at Orangefield


Cat22

Recommended Posts

I remember this game last year having a bunch of anticipation to it. Orangefield was supposed to be good and Anahuac was supposed to be good….and both teams did very well in district. Orangefield pulled it out. They are the incumbent district champs. They proved to the whole area last week that Buna was not ready to make the next step. I think Orangefield understands the path to winning in this smaller district.  A couple of weeks ago , I would have said Anahuac. They got a good coach and good athletes. However , only 13 points on Hardin and Orangefield putting up 42 last week tells me the bobcats are back home in this district. They are after all the reigning district champs.  Until someone beats them in this district, I can’t  in good faith pick against them. Bobcats win in what I expect to be a district championship game and atmosphere Friday night.

The score wasn’t an indicator of how well Hardin played. Their offense is a lot like Orangefields from last year. That run attack that chews up the clock. I think Anahuac only had a handful of possessions in the 2nd half, yet gave zero scores up. It was a boxing match.

With that, I haven’t seen OF yet but if they have the same offense as they did last year then AP will need to figure out how to stop that run attach so they can control the clock. If OF controls the time of possession, then I’m leaning OF.

Great explanation of things… It’s just appears fishy when a team like Evadale only loses to Hardin 13-14 but Anahuac beats Hardin only 14-0… I’m definitely curious to see what happens Friday night

It was a good way to start district play with a win, but Buna hasn’t beaten any team of note this season, and going up against Kirbyville Friday is going to be extremely difficult to come out on top.

OF and Anahuac should be a good one. Getting a win against the bobcats at home will be a tall task. I’m looking forward to see how this one plays out.

Good Luck to both teams.

Also with what I said…Teams have bad games and don’t play well… which very well could’ve happened.

    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
    • 👍 Oh. I was thinking most thought Wrong Place Wrong Time. Lol.
