And can somebody answer my question about if Buna defeats Hardin, that Anahuac is eliminated from playoffs? I had heard this but wasn't sure if that was accurate or not? Buna wins, they are in and Anahuac is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Anahuac lost a couple good athletes before the season started due to a tragic accident. Barrier is good but Anahuac was good before he got there and was still competitive this year although they lost him and 2 or 3 other good players.

But as some have said here, one player doesn’t make a team. Remember the discussion we had concerning the good QB PNG had a few years back and his then coach?! PS — did Barrier also play defense?

If that good QB at PNG a few years back had the right coach they probably could have got 1 or 2 State Tiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought your opinion might be different based on how Anahuac has faired this season being that he's been there a while and they haven't won state yet 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In high school especially at the small schools sometimes a really good rb or a really good dual threat qb can make all the difference in the world.

Separation Scientist Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 11 hours ago, BBfan061 said: Plus he is probably facing a step up in competition going up a classification Well, the actual narrative was, he was a phenom that could have played for any team in Texas, including 6A's like North Shore even as a Freshman. That was fanciful. Rusk is currently 5-4, 2-3 in district, and in 4th place. (last year they ended 6-5, 3-3). No real impact so far. The QB would have excelled much more in 3A. Still hoping for the best for him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separation Scientist Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 I agree. The hype they put on the kid was detrimental. I urged them to slow down and give him some time to develop, but some did not appreciate it. I happened to be outside the upper level suites at AT&T last year. Todd Dodge and a few friends left their suite to go to the elevators. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a young man and his mother hurriedly walking up to catch Todd Dodge before the elevators opened. Mom introduced her son to TD, and enthusiastically told TD about all the great things the son was about to do. TD was very polite and listened, and wished them well. At that moment I felt that a bar was being set too high for a Freshman from a 3A school in a weak district. As I said before, it seemed unfair to him. JMO, that's all.

bd04 Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Kirbyville is a quiet 8-2 team this year. Congratulations on the district championship. Hope they make a little noise in the playoffs. Wildcats4life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anahuac and Buna are tied for 4th place. Buna beat Anahuac. Does not look to good for Anahuac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
