I wouldn’t have guessed Trinity would have the largest enrollment

Woodville having 86 more kids makes a big difference in the smaller classes of football.

Newton will have no problem handling Woodville.

Isn't normally Woodville making excuses?

[longball24]

No excuses. We are content with 2 rounds in the playoffs. If you are interested in seeing what is in the cards. Go to Texas A&M recruiting forum and see who is ranked their #1 recruit for the class of 2027.

Luke Babin. Upcoming sophomore QB who hasn't played much varsity yet but looked really good leading the jv to a DC as a freshman.

Not.an excuse just a fact. 

[purpleeagle]

 Newton had 8 sophomores  and one freshman starting last year. Should be no problem for big bad woodville. Nothing to see here.

It really makes a coaching staff look bad when you have a Kid of this caliber making waves at the p5 level and not get playing time at the varsity level,Especially in the lower classification of High school football.

Where is he making waves? Hard to believe he is that great of athlete at a smaller 3A and not playing varsity… I can promise you if Bellville had a freshman with any actual D1 capability he would be playing varsity…

No one is content with being eliminated. Except maybe excuse making over zealous fans who can't win an argument on merit.

[longball24]

Overly Zealous yes, I do have great enthusiasm for our team. Merit on the other hand is based on past accomplishments hence 2 rounds deep in the playoffs. Remember it is just bragging until you can back it up.

You have a point but I could see why the staff made that decision after how the scrimmage against WOS looked last season. He just didn't have the experience to deal with the pressure that would come from good defenses yet. Playing on the jv last season it looked like he improved in mental and physical toughness compared to seasons before. Also sharpened his mechanics even more and is starting to realize how good he can be now.
