HtownHornet Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Slowly but surely our injured are getting healthy. Hopefully we can take care of business this friday. Both teams know what is at stake. Thanks goodness the coaches are letting more of our offensive players play defense now. Definitely has improved the team.
east_tex Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Neither team really wants to win knowing what they have to face.

TXHORN_ET Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 It doesn't matter to me what kid didn't play whatever game, or who wasn't at full strength...u still put 11 on the field as the other team. As far as Buna / Hardin....am taking the Cougars..defense has been pretty salty during district play and the offense is coming around---mainly due to lack of turnovers that plagued them earlier in the season..........and against EC.Good Luck to both teams this coming Friday...

TXHORN_ET Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 I wouldn't necessarily say the defense was that good---it wasn't because any terrific hits that the Cougars put the ball on the ground. It's part of the game and EC capitalized on the big turnover in Cougar territory.That game is over and done with...time to move on, finish the regular season, and get ready for the playoffs. Good luck to EC, Anahuac, and Buna!!!

TXHORN_ET Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 EC stepped up and made the plays when they needed to to pull out a hard fought victory over Buna. They also played and inspired game against Anahuac that more than likely gives them a well deserved district championship. Congrats on that. The Cougars weren't playing too well coming in to district play. Coach Morgan and his staff have gotten the players in position to take the 3rd playoff spot with a victory over Hardin. In the previous post, all I was meaning is injuries, grades, etc. are part of the game. You still have to put whatever the best 11 you feel you have at the time on the field and play the game scheduled.Hopefully all will be at full strength come playoff time.

theboss4 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 I am going to go with Buna on this one.
Abe Lincoln Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 i don't understand how either of these teams have any chance at the playoffs this year. both have pretty much sucked it up in a sub-par division. it makes me sick.

The horrible accident with Pate then the Comeaux kid being pulled from his burning car at Pate's viewing and being life flighted in front of their eyes, then it was the davis kid blowing his knee out at the first game, then Villemez went down with the ankle and to top that off three seniors quit leaving just two seniors left on the team. I am not making excuses by any means, I just applaud these kids that have endured so much adversity this season and have somehow have gotten better these past couple weeks. These kids are winners in my book no matter how this season ends..
Guest ECBucFan Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 Well, I am not so much referring to their effort, I am referring to them losing control of their emotions, and giving into frustration when they are getting beat down. Ejections, swinging fists, a meltdown outside opponents locker room during halftime by their ultra-star, etc.

Ejections, swinging fists, a meltdown outside opponents locker room during halftime by their ultra-star, etc. Quite frankly, I have never observed Buna doing any of that. They are more or less a disciplined team. That's why the Buna "classless" comment caught my attention. I have to disagree with it.[/quote]I agree Buna's defense is disciplined!! That is how the Buna defense has always been. How can you spear a defenseless ball carrier or quarterback? If you mean hitting them in the back the question I have to ask is why is a ball carrier running backwards!!! and the QB thing, blind siding a QB happens in football at all levels it is a matter of the QB not knowing some one is running at them. Buna is a emotional team and may be a little cocky at times and people don't like that for some reason but that is there opinion. Everyone on the defense attacks who has the ball and sometimes a players legs may be caught up and they get hit like a sitting duck but you can't fault them for playing till the whistle blows.
Javelina Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 We can call this game the Typo Bowl because apparently according to the AP Poll Buna is ranked #13 in the state and that is just out of place like a wood duck in a flock of geese
maverick Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 #13 in the state? That must be the highest the Coogs have ever been ranked! Good job guys
sdeaver Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 This one will be over before it ever gets started! Buna by 3 scores!!
WOSgrad Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Okay, guys. I had a little cleaning up to do in this thread. From calling out high school kids to calling each other morons and the like. Let's keep it halfway civil, guys!
AggiesAreWe Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Buna's ground game, ball control offense will keep Hardin's offense on the sideline and the Cougars should churn out a victory. If Buna can keep from turning it over, they win this one and clinch a playoff spot.Hardin 20Buna 28
