BC vs. Pine Tree

[BC Alum]

In my opinion BC matches up better with Pine Tree than Chappell Hill.   For BC to get the win they will have to play flawless and offensive line has to pass block better.

Pine Tree on offense is very limited after losing their QB late in the year

Didn’t realize this.  Gives them at least a hint of a chance.  Still, BC hasn’t played anyone near what Pine Tree is this year.

Did pine tree ever make to round 3 ? Nederland played them in round 2 a few years ago and Nederland won and I wanna say that was their first time winning a playoff game in a very long time and getting to round 2

No disrespect but they could probably play their freshman team qb and still me fine.

The passing offense has been absolutely dreadful lately with too many turnovers, bad QB play, and the OL got absolutely manhandled by Huffman.

Running game has been BCs strength all season. If their offense can get Sumrall rolling early, I can see the defense creating a couple turnovers to make this game close.

I have a feeling the offense will continue to struggle to generate points and rely too much on the passing game. Defense should be capable of keeping it within 2-3 scores.  
 

Overly Optimistic: BC wins a close thriller 

Realistically: Pine Tree wins by 2-3 scores

If BC's defense can stop the run, PT's offense struggles throwing the football. They are a downhill running team, with the play action deep ball over the top. Now their WRs can Fly, its just whether or not the Back up can distribute the ball.

unfortunate for them.  they seemed like they had a chance to run pretty deep this year.

BC has trouble stopping the run against similar sized opponents. I believe even Livingston(0-10) rushed for over 200 on them

If they can stop their rushing attack they will have success. Defensively they have the second best defense in D9. It will be hard to score.

BC better get ready to file charges cause they about to be manhandled! .... PT by a lot

It seems like everyone on these forums is down on D10. LCM, BC, and Hargraves all have very good looking kids and decent records. What do yall know that I don't?

Livingston, Huffman, HJ, and LCM all had good games on the ground vs BC. I worry about the run defense considering Pine Tree is run heavy and will be leaning on the run if their starting QB is truly out. While they do struggle against the run, BC is still scrappy on defense overall. If Pine Tree becomes 1 dimensional on offense, I think BC will be able to adjust. I am hoping they can force a couple turnovers. Regardless, they have to have a good game offensively. It will be a long night if they can't capitalize on their possessions/takeaways.

East Texas football... 9-4A is a completely different animal.  9-4A has kids go to Alabama, UT, and other big D1 schools.  10-4A has kids go to Juco.

Strength of schedule. 1 of 3 played pre district teams of substance. 2nd place team was forced to drop a quality opponent due to the volume of opted up teams. BC wouldn't even be in this conversation if they did not opt up seeking weaker opponents and a playoff birth.

BC scheduled 3 3A teams pre-district, and only one of them was even good for 3A.  HH's pre-district was slightly better, but still against very weak 4A schools.  LCM actually scheduled a decent pre-district schedule, and didn't look terrible.  Weather helped them keep it close against HF, and the silsbee result was respectable as well. Vidor hasn't won a game against a team with more than 3 wins.  Realistically, I think HH and LCM have pretty good teams.  BC is decent.  But when you have a district where all the quality wins on the year are against each other, and nobody is really THAT good to begin with, it's hard to be optimistic with the matchups coming out of east texas.

For me personally, I follow y'all's district with quite a bit of interest, so I'm well-versed in the difference between the two groups.  I went to college in Marshall, still hunt outside Jefferson (Avinger), and my college roommates both graduated from Pine Tree.  So i always keep up with East Texas football in all divisions.

yeah, that doesn't bode well when you consider the jump in size/ability that they'll be facing in PT.
