La Porte vs Angleton


Cougtalk

Recommended Posts

La Porte Coach Berneathy got his first THSFB coaching job at La Porte in 2007 when he was hired by LP coach Jeff LaReau as the OL coach. He stayed at LP through the 2012 season, and then he went to LaMarque to be the OC and was very successful. Then, he went to Dickinson—also as OC—and Dickinson had some good offensive teams.

He left Dickinson and took the OC job at Angleton. As OC, he helped lead Angleton to the 2017 Semis.

He left Angleton to become the HC & Coordinator at Dobie, turned the program around, and led them to a 33-10 record with a DC during his time.

He had the opportunity to return to his first TXHSFB coaching roots at La Porte, took it in 2022, and has 2 DC’s from two different districts, and 3 PO wins so far advancing to this State Quarterfinal in his 3rd full year.

What’s more impressive is that the 2 DC’s are without playing a true home game in those 2 years as the new stadium is being built. Truly an accomplishment for the young men, their supportive families, the coaching staff, and the administration via their support of the program.

He’s brought LP football back to the condition & tradition it had for decades until a couple of hires set the program back. He’s been rewarded with great appreciation from the players, parents, fans & community. He’s also getting something coaches dream of…

A brand new, top-of-the line stadium, training field & weight rooms.

We’re glad he’s back!

I remember Matt saying it was all screwed up. BG brought it up and mentioned they had LP ranked 15 in state, but 5th in district in the print edition. The print edition looked like they listed district teams in alphabetical order, omitted Angleton, and never proofed.

I get the feeling there’s a big push for viewership/digital offerings/game projections, and some of the investigative detail that used to make them special is slipping through the cracks.

Not a slam. Maybe just trying to do too much too quick.

I have been buying the mag for over 50 years and still have them all, but never saw this happen before. I guess instead of the magazine being the main thing like in the past, the "digital subscription" is now. I think most people just want the magazine and don't want the subscription. Why should I pay for recruiting news when I can get it free. And I have no need for "7 on 7" news as that is not real football. If it was, it would have blocking and tackling. I can even find predictions for free. And the magazine hits the stands if at all very late now. You use to be able to get it in early July. This year I kept looking for it and finally found it about mid August at Walgreens after practices had been going on for awhile. As far as I know that was the only outlet in Angleton that ever had it. I never saw it at Walmart or any of the other usual places.

Never bought it in my 60+ years. Used to attend games weekly with my wife, old classmates, & friends met in HS football forums up until about 5 years ago. We would travel around to see games together. Got my info direct viewership & convos during games & pregame meals. We used to have a great time (I think anyway).

Since my wife has become unable to care for herself, I try to keep up via this forum & broadcast games. So, I’m very appreciative of games being streamed at least. She still enjoys watching with me as well. Hopefully, with LP’s new stadium, we’ll be able to attend games again. I’ll push her wherever & however to get her to ‘date night’ at DQ & the new handicap seating area it’s supposed to have.

Nothing against DCTF. Just always preferred to see for myself. As far as history, I try to keep up as best I can, and remember as I can from memory. What I have left. 😊

I miss those days going to the best games in the area every weekend. We ate a lot of good food and had a lot of good fellowship. And our convos weren't always about football rather life. Covid and life kind of put a stop to a lot of that.

Congrats to La Porte and Angleton on cleaning out the region. Both team drew good stylistic matchups in the regional semis and took advantage of them. Angleton looked like they improved their passing game against College Station but I would probably still lean La Porte by a score. I think I would favor either of these teams over Smithson Valley but I think La Porte would have the best chance against Aledo in the title game.

Sean Simon (La Porte Fr. RB #21) now has 2 offers. Texas Tech offered first. Now, Tennessee has offered.

Wife—an Aggie—keeps saying ATM better get on the ball. 😂

Tennessee offer as a Fish this is going to be a long 3 years.
