Orangefield @ Anahuac

[Bobcat101]

Orangefield faces off with Anahuac for perhaps the District Title. I think both offense are clicking. Best Defense wins.

Orangefield may keep it close early, but Anahuac runs away with it. I’ll take the Panthers 28-14

I think East Chambers will have a say in that.

I agree. It should definitely be a 3-team race for district but not sure anyone can stop Anahuac’s defense right now, though. They are absolutely smothering teams. I haven’t seen the same out of the other two.

Smothering teams?

Didn't they just give up a 50 piece a couple of week's ago?

In fact, EC is given up fewer points per game than Anahuac.

[AggiesAreWe]

Quick research has Anahuac giving up 21 points per game while EC is giving up 14.5 per game.

Now Anahuac does have the better offense.

Anahuac's win over Woodville is what has me leaning towards them to win. I watched OF against BC and Woodville vs Diboll. I didn't see anyone on OF that is near as good as Woodville's two RB's (26 & 15) 

35-14 Panthers

Plus the fact that Woodville (who lost to Anahuac) handled Orangefield pretty easily in week 1.

I got the Whack by 3 TD's

They haven’t played EC so when they do either Anahuac or Orangefield will be top seed then that may be for District.

Strength of schedule. They did give up 50+ to LSA which is by far better than anyone EC has faced and it is not even close. They will face each other next week so it will be interesting to see. I've seen both teams play and I'll say Anahuac by 20+. Kirbyville felt good about their 3-1 record before last week also. They also had not played anyone tough outside of Bridge City. The EC/Anahuac rivalry always makes for a good time.

I wasn't talking about who would win out of Anahuac and EC.

You made the statement that Anahuac defense was smothering offenses. That simply isn't the case. Smothering defense doesn't give up 50+ in a game or 21 per game.

You also said EC defense wasn't as good and I gave you numbers that shows otherwise.

I got Anahuac by at least 3 TDs

Considering strength of schedule, I agree Anahuac probably has the better defense. LSA is definitely better offensively than any team EC has faced but I'm not sure they're better than Rice overall.

They are not as good, I'll stick by that. Again, strength of schedule.

I'll have to agree with that. I have only seen Rice's stats, I have not seen them actually play.

I thought this was an Orangefield vs Anahuac thread!

Anahuac and EC are the top two in the district but don’t overlook Orangefield. They are getting better each week as they continue to learn Breaux’s system. They opened up the offense more last week and will continue each week. 

[Bobcat101]

Still looking forward to this game. Will gauge how much improvement Orangefield has made since the lost to “cheating” BC (I joke). 
 

I’ve been really impressed with the running of #17 coming in for #2. 
 

The O-Line is the big story for Orangefield. 

Pulling for an upset.

I’ll take it.

Hey @BayBaller, where was that smothering defense?

🤣 At Gator Country because there was nothing smothering about Anahuac’s defense on the field.

OF definitely made a statement last night! They must have improved drastically since week 3. 
Won’t be righting off my alma mater again😂

I loosely follow Anahuac. I am kind of amazed the wheels fell off. Are they that bad, or was it just one real bad night? At this rate they might be 4th place.

Well they still have to play East Chambers tomorrow and they play us last game in district so I would just look at it as one very bad night.  Now they will get into the playoffs (Buna and Hardin has absolutely no chance against them) but I think this district will play out very strange with teams in different positions.
