I said before and some did not like it but D-10 is one of the worst districts in the state. Sorry but thats the truth. There usually is only one 3A-I district thats worse than 10 in the entire state. 9 sweeps 10 lately then 9 gets swept or nearly so in round 2.
I believe Orangefield can and will get a win tomorrow, I sure hope so. They have a new coach, right? When is the last time EC or anyone else in 10 had a playoff win? Whats the problem? Is the coaching in 10 that bad?
Nederland has an above-average defensive line. And, even with all the complaints about Nederland’s secondary, I would feel pretty good about their chances if they can put pressure on the qb and slow down the run game. Even with no one else on the field, passes (especially deep ones) are likely to be dropped, much more so with some pressure on the qb.
