***Week 1 SETXsports Top 25***

[jdawg03]

The SETXsports Top 10 will be announced beginning next week on Channel 6!

Week 0 brought us some very entertaining games across the area. Friday saw two games that pitted teams from the preseason top ten against each other as preseason #1 West Brook defeated preseason # 6 Ozen and preseason #2 WO-S defeated preseason #7 Dayton. There wasn’t much shakeup for the #1-#5 spots, but the bottom half saw some changes for Week 1. A few teams have switched places and some new faces have emerged as preseason contenders.

#/School Name/Points Received

1. West Brook 300

The Bruins started off the 2006 season with a big win over Ozen 35-14 Friday night at Lamar Cardinal Stadium. The Bruin offense was led by sophomore tailback Christan Michael who rushed for 134 of the Bruins 250 yards and two touchdowns in his varsity debut. Joe Chaisson also added three touchdowns, two on the ground and one in the air. West Brook now heads into game two of the Beaumont Bowl series this week when they take on Central at Lamar Friday night.

2. WO-S 287

The Mustangs found themselves in a war Friday night in Dayton as both teams showcased their defenses in the first half and took a 6-6 tie into halftime. The Stangs came out firing in the second half and would eventually pull away late to defeat the Broncos 26-9 to begin the year 1-0. The WO-S defense was able to keep all-star running back Michael Dugat in check, holding him to just 70 yards. The Mustang offense was led by quarterback Andre Bevil as he passed for 170 yards and 2 touchdowns. DePauldrick Garrett added 94 yards and Earl Thomas added 68 yards on the ground. The Mustangs will renew their rivalry with LC-M Friday when the “Orange Bowl” will be played at Dan R. Hooks Stadium.

3. Central 275

The Jaguar’s offense was definitely clicking Friday night at Stallworth Stadium in Baytown as Central took down 5A Baytown Lee 21-9. The Jaguar offense pumped out 413 yards of total offense while the defense held Lee to just 141 yards. Quarterback Brandon Williams was 7-13 for 211 yards and 1 touchdown through the air and also rushed for 105 yards on 9 carries. Receiver Michael Henry hauled in 3 catches for 81 yards in the contest. The Jaguars will now take on West Brook at Lamar Friday night.

4. Memorial 262

Memorial had a bye in week 0 and will open up their season Friday night when they host the Ozen Panthers at Memorial Stadium. Look for this to be a good one, as Coach Ronnie Thompson coaches his first game back in in Port Arthur. The eyes of Texas will be upon this program as they take the first step into what they hope will be the beginning of something great. PA may have to rely on the run against Ozen, because of the fact that the Panthers boast one of the best secondaries in the state.

5. Nederland 246

The Bulldogs hung tough with the #8 4A team in the state Friday night at Reliant Stadium, but in the end La Marque would be too much, racking up 362 yards of offense and taking a 28-20 victory over Nederland. A surprising stat is that Nederland only managed 4 first downs the entire game but still only lost by 8. Tailback Micah Mosley led the Bulldog offense with 136 yards on the ground and 2 touchdowns of 68 and 57 yards. The Bulldogs will have their home opener this week when they host Houston Forest Brook at Bulldog Stadium.

6. Ozen 239

Even with the great performance of quarterback London Durham the Panthers couldn’t overcome the 5A West Brook Bruins as they fell 35-14 in the season opener Friday night at Lamar’s Cardinal Stadium. Durham was 16-33 for 212 yards and 2 touchdowns in Friday’s loss to the Bruins. Unfortunately, two touchdowns would not be enough as the Panther defense gave up 316 yards and 35 points. The Panther defense will once again be heavily tested this week as they travel to Memorial Stadium in Port Arthur to face the Titans.

7. Dayton 223

The Broncos were “welcomed” to Southeast Texas football Friday night. However, it wasn’t the welcome they were hoping for as they fell in the season opener 26-9 to WO-S. They played the Mustangs tough for one half as they took a 6-6 tie into halftime. But the Stangs would come out firing in the second half and pull away late for the win. Dayton all-star running back Michael Dugat was kept in check by the “Chain Gang” defense of WO-S as he managed just 70 yards on the ground. Quarterback Andrew Thomas had the bulk of the rushing yards as he rushed for 108 yards in the contest. Dayton will be at home again this week as they welcome the Nacogdoches Dragons to Bronco Stadium.

8. Newton 215

Newton had a bye in week 0 and will open up their season Friday night when they host the 3A Crockett Bulldogs at Singletary Stadium. Suprsingly, Crockett took 4a Powerhouse, Kilgore to Double Overtime in Week Zero. This could quite possibly be Newton's toughest test of the season. QB Darrell Jenkins will need to have a huge game if the Eagles want to open up their season with a win

9. Silsbee 203

Silsbee opens up at home against 4a Houston Sterling. This will be a good confidence builder for a Silsbee team that has some tough games ahead. Look for Wiliam Harper and Rocky Calhoun to have huge games Friday Night.

10. PNG 189

After losing to the state #1 ranked 4a team in Brenham on Friday Night, the Indians will look to rebound and get their first win against Crosby. PNG comes in at #10 this week, but with a poor showing next week, could drop out of the top 10. Regardless, we still see PNG as one of the stronger teams in the area at this point.

Looks good. It is nice to see the smaller schools at least get a mention.

[WVU Fan]

I saw film of the Ozen/West Brook game and I have to say Ozen will finish about 5th in that 4A district. Their Offensive Line is not very good at all. They never blocked the middle LB all night. When they did block somebody they only stayed on their blocks about 2 seconds and let their man go free. The touchdown pass they had should've been picked. The DB missed timed his jump and jumped too soon, and the WR standing all alone in the end zone, caught the ball. I was just very surprised at how bad they looked.

As far as 3A goes I was surprised by Jasper losing to Livingston and Kirbyville putting 51 on Cleveland. It looks like it could be WOS, Silsbee, and Kirbyville in that disrtict.

[whsalum]

Little early for polls, but not sure how Hardin gets mant votes losing to Tarkington or Anahuac gets any losing to HJ.It will be mid season before you cou rank any of the small schools and be legit simply because of the weak schedules some are playing.

[BHFAN]

Dang BH wins and goes from 8 to 12 :?: thank God we didn't lose IF we can Beat Jasper this week are we going to 15???

[Tiger90]

I think most need to understand how the rankings have changed from last week. You might as well toss last week's ratings out as the formula is now different.

[Guest Jody]

WOW.......you have got to be kidding. PNG and Silsbee over BH...NO WAY! Figures we play a scrimmage against WOS and now we suck. We beat a good Wharton team and now they suck......GOOBS!

PNG is terrible and will NOT ake the playoffs......Silsbee will make it just because Jasper stinks and Bride City is down.

[SHS-84]

What a whinner!!!

[tvc184]

WOW.......you have got to be kidding. PNG and Silsbee over BH...NO WAY! Figures we play a scrimmage against WOS and now we suck. We beat a good Wharton team and now they suck......GOOBS!

PNG is terrible and will NOT ake the playoffs......Silsbee will make it just because Jasper stinks and Bride City is down.

Look again. The polls don't say PN-G will make the playoffs. PN-G is listed under Central, Nederland, Ozen and Dayton. That makes them 5th in the district not in the top three. All the poll says is that in the opinion of the staff, the top 5 teams in 22-4A would beat Barbers Hill. I would agree with that opinion at this point.

[hfaninthestands]

we cracked the top 25.....

hopefully we bought some parachutes so it will be a slow calming picturesque fall....

PNG would flat out destory BH. Wharton must really be bad.

[DP#1FAN]

Looks Good! Keep up the good work!

[WOS92]

But Jody, you said this was BC's year to win the district! Oh... wait... I forget that you admittedly talk out of your @#s!

[3ABirdMan]

But Jody' date=' you said this was BC's year to win the district! Oh... wait... I forget that you admittedly talk out of your @#s![/quote']

You simply misinterpretted Jody's intent.......

BC is down, so we will win District, but not State..........That's what he meant ::a

You underestimate all the teams in this area. Just look at what WO-S did to your precious eagles. BH would do no better than sixth in that 4A district, maybe seventh.....
