  1. Which schools are playing 7v7? Anyone know when it starts or have school or league schedules?
  2. 8 non-district wins and only 1 district win in 4 yrs? That's worse than i would have guessed. Well I guess we can all have opinions of his job performance but in the end the words of Bill Parcells come to mind "You are who your record says you are"
  3. Any idea how many of those 9 wins are district wins? Big difference between playing who you choose to play and who the UIL says you need to play.
  4. From what I have read recently you left one off the list
  5. Apparently I need to get on here more often during the offseason. I have learned a lot about WO that I did not know. I may need to re-evaluate how i see this district shaping up. The thing about hyping this #RoughneckSpeed is that a lack of speed has usually been the reason White Oak has given for not being able to beat most the teams in this district. If the speed is there and you still don't beat some of them. Who or what do you point the finger at now? It's an interesting approach for sure.
  6. I think Woods is a very versatile, good player also
  7. Speed makes up for mistakes and it's mistakes that usually decide close games
  8. Agree. I think if Sabine wins that game they make the playoffs. Such a small margin for error.
  9. I agree Patterson is a good player but I don't think Gilbert likes to play guys both ways without having someone to rotate with. With the tempo Sabine plays at I don't think anyone can take almost every snap on both sides of the ball and be effective. I would think Gilbert would prefer to have him take every snap on defense. Speed is containable but it takes great team effort chasing the ball, great angles and leverage, and solid tackling especially in 1v1 situations. Unfortunately, if the slower team doesn't do all of those things right consistently it's usually not just a 20-30 yd gain, it's a touchdown from any place on the field. It's doable but there is a reason speed kills.
  10. Looking forward to watching a very competitive district race next fall. Should be fun for us fans. Here are some thoughts after realignment Atlanta - I think this will be Coach Morton's best team. Not sure what he was thinking when he scheduled PG but I do think they will be improved. Batton, Harrison, and Riley are all explosive players but I think the key for the rabbits is improving the OL play. If I remember correctly the OL was young last year. Defensively, I'm sure they will be fast but they got pushed around a lot last year. To me, making the playoffs and having a successful season will be determined by how well the OL and defense play Tatum - I think they were hit hardest by graduation but I think Keeling and staff are top notch so they will come up with a plan. Particularly on defense, I think they got better throughout the year. I anticipate Keeling putting the Gun that he utilized with Watson last year back on the shelf and going straight flexbone. Bradley, Sigler, Moore, and Cayden Tatum will step up for the eagles. To me, the biggest question is whether Bradley can throw well enough to keep the defense honest. Jefferson - If the bulldogs will buy into Coach Taylor I think they have the potential to take the next step. Kam, Taylor, and Love are 3 potent weapons along with others. If the jeffy OL can be as good or better than last year I think they could be in the hunt for the DC. I think Coach Taylor will have a big impact on the defense. Sabine - I think Coach Gilbert and staff get the most out of their kids. They were right on the cusp of making the playoffs last year and if it is going to happen in this district then this has to be the year, imo. They have a strong senior class but as @Bclove05 points out they just lack speed. I think they will miss silvertooth in the run game but they have the best up tempo offense in the district, imo. If they can find a running back and tackle well enough I think they have a chance to make the playoffs. They just have such a small margin for error on defense with their lack of speed. Gladewater - Of all the district teams, I think the bears will show the most improvement over last year. They were just so young (I know others were young also) yet seemed to find a better groove on offense last year with the different packages they ran. IMO, Woods and Cooper will be dynamic offensive players and the QB can throw the ball decently. I'm interested to see how they do in 7v7 this summer. I think they will be better on defense as well. The bears are my darkhorse for the DC. LE - I just don't know much about them besides their athleticism and dropping down in classifications. I do think Coach Willard will be a good hire and they uphold the district tradition of the new coach bringing in a QB by hire. My all indications LE should be in the hunt for the DC but I'm not ready to roll out the red carpet just yet. White Oak - The Roughnecks have to be improved, right? I know coach Ludlow touted their youth all last year and he got to schedule non-district teams that he believes they can beat. He has had a chance now to implement his program so all the rope that is usually extended to a first year coach has been used up. From all indications, last year's team was the worst in school history so surely there will be improvement. Those are my sunday morning thoughts (as if any of you care!) so time to get ready for a great worship service at Mobberly Baptist church. Come out and join us.
  11. According to Tatum boys basketball facebook page, the game with Jefferson will be played on Thursday
  12. I think they play next week
  13. Have any coaches come out of retirement and been as successful or more successful in their 2nd go around? I can't think of any off hand
  14. I get what you are saying but to be clear, those in charge didn't have to do this to appease the community. They chose to take that route. They could have said "We agreed to the officiating crew. We don't agree with the call that was made but sometimes judgement calls don't go your way. We will accept the results and move on. Congratulations to PNG." Maybe not the easy response but the one some might think would send the right message to the players on the team as far as taking responsibility for the results you get even when you don't really want to. I realize what admin chose to do makes things easier on them and, ultimately, it's their call. I just wanted to point out that their was another option available besides appeasement. It just may not be popular.
  15. If SOC had a problem with where any of the officials lived, I would think before the game is played would be the time to speak up or protest.
  16. I think Hooks is undefeated
  17. 2005-06 Gladewater, Sabine, Pittsburg, Gilmer, Mineola White Oak, Carthage, Center, Tatum, Spring Hill BTW, when I looked it up, these 2 scores really stood out along with WO making the playoffs Carthage 22 WO 14 WO 34 Center 7
  18. So by this logic, those 3 have always been in the same district since they have been the same classification? I may be wrong but I don't think that is true. My prediction may be wrong but I'm not sure I am ready to go as far as saying "no way" Sabine, GW, and WO won't be split up. Find out in Feb
  19. Was Jimmerson encouraged resign or did he leave on his own?
  20. Thanks Looks like it is going to be audio only due to UIL rules
