Marshall - think North graduated a lot

Nacogdoches over now Rudder 

Lufkin 

Texas- HUGE

 Whitehouse


Sulphur Springs - 2 bad teams


Longview - would like to see a close game 
 

Mount Pleasant


Nederland

What makes anyone think we can beat 2-0 Rudder who averages 56 points a game!!

Pine Tree should roll over 4A Kennedale by as much as they want to.

I know they are 4-0..... but the district they are in is ridiculously bad:  FW Dunbar, FW Eastern Hills, FW Western Hills, Carter-Riverside, Jarvis-Diamond.... need I go on?  Pirates win easily.  

I guess everyone in 9-5A will be off next week now except for Nac. 

I think Nac has a tough game this week with Rudder.... sounds like their offense is ROLLING.  Nac's offense is still looking for a groove just one game in.  This week's competition is MUCH better than last week's.  Pulling for the Dragons....but taking Rudder.

The more people that test, the more cancelations there will be. Positives are going to start going through the roof. Healthy athletes will be told they are dangerous. Stop testing and acting like the results mean something. Animals,  Fruit, and blank samples have all came back positive.

Week 3 Recap:

Marshall over McKinney North 48-22
Magnolia West over Lufkin 37-20
Bryan Rudder over Nacogdoches 48-21
Longview over Tyler Legacy 37-14
Greenville over Mount Pleasant 34-14
Texas High over Forney 49-10
Whitehouse over Corsicana 33-14
Nederland over Jacksonville- 42-20
Hallsville Vs. Sulphur Springs CX
Tyler- IDLE- COVID

_____________

It was a mixed bag this week for East Texas 5A. 

Longview got a big win over Legacy in a game most thought would be hotly contested, but the Lobos pulled away in the second half for a comfortable win.  

Texas High continues to make it look easy with another big offensive night and a stingy defense.  Proving they are the early favorite for the 9-5A district title.

Marshall piled up more than 600 yards of offense..... 450 through the air against McKinney North with a long road win.  The Mavs needed a good bounce back from last week's ugly loss to Longview.  At (2-1) they hope to be title contenders in 9-5A.  Mavs host PT in a huge match-up in two weeks.

Whitehouse had a big win on the road in Corsicana to show they want to be in the district title talk for 9-5A as well as they improve to (3-0).  The wildcats are looking to challenge Texarkana, Marshall, and PT for one of the top spots.

Pine Tree (2-0-1) played Kennedale to a 10-10 tie at the half, but the stadium lights malfunctioned and ended the game there.  The Pirates now enter the bye to prepare for a big road game to Marshall to open 9-5A play.

Lufkin's struggles continued with a district opening loss at Magnolia West.  The Panthers were short handed with several players out to injury.  The Panthers will host Magnolia this week in a critical game for LP.

Nac's last minute reschedule of Bryan Rudder to replace Tyler proved to be a tough one for the Dragons.  Now they enter the bye where they will begin prep to open district play hosting Whitehouse in two weeks.

 Nederland blasted Jacksonville

John Tyler cancelled Vs. Nac and Hallsville cancelled  Vs. Sulphur Springs due to COVID precautions. 

---------------

District 8-5A DIV II
Ennis 2-0
North Forney (2-0)
Greenville (2-1)
Crandall (2-1)
Royse City (1-1)
Corsicana (1-2)
Sulphur Springs (0-2)
Forney (0-3)

This is shaping up to be a pretty good race.  Ennis, obviously is the clear favorite.  But the race for 2-4 could be a great one.  Greenville continues to show improvement, a trend we saw last season.  Corsicana is off to a rough start, but they have pedigree... can't count them out.  NF and RC have also been tough outs the last few years.  Get some popcorn... this could be fun.... and messy.  District starts this week.

 

District 9-5A DIV II
Texas High (3-0)
Whitehouse (3-0)
Pine Tree (2-0-1)
Marshall (2-1)
Mount Pleasant (2-1)
Nacogdoches (1-1)
Hallsville (0-2)
Jacksonville (0-3)

This is also shaping up to be a fun race.  Texarkana has clearly become the odd-on favorite for the district title.  But Marshall has won the last 3... and 4 of the last 5.  Throw in Whitehouse and Pine Tree and this could be a battle to the end for the district title... but also for playoff seeding.  MP and Nac are also looking to make some noise by upsetting one of those four.  District starts in 2 weeks.

District 7-5A DIV I
Highland Park (1-0)
Longview (2-1)
Wylie East (1-1)
Sherman (1-3)
McKinney North (0-2)
Tyler (0-2)
West Mesquite (0-3)

Highland Park, Tyler, and Longview have the pedigree in this district.  HP and Longview appear to be the favorites for the district title.... after that, it gets murky for the #3 and 4 slots.  History says Tyler should be in the middle of the playoff talk, but the Lions have struggled thus far.  Then again... so has everyone else in the district outside of HP and Longview.  

District 8-5A DIV I
Magnolia (2-1) (1-0)
New Caney (2-1) (1-0)
Magnolia West (2-1) (1-0)
Waller (1-2) (1-0)
College Station (2-1) (0-1)
Porter (2-1) (0-1)
Lufkin (1-2) (0-1)
Cleveland (1-2) (0-1)
Caney Creek (0-2) (0-0)

District play is underway.  Too early to get too high or too low an anyone.  West's upset of Lufkin raises some eyebrows.  Magnolia's win over College Station also grabs your attention.  New Caney survived Porter by 2 points (21-19).  Big game between Magnolia and Lufkin this week.  An LP win keeps the Panthers in the middle of the DC talk.  A loss puts Lufkin's long playoff streak in jeopardy.

In 8-5A, I can almost guarantee that Magnolia, Magnolia West, and College Station will be in the playoffs.  That leaves one spot for New Caney, Porter, and Lufkin to fight over. 

Have to agree, don’t look over Waller either. They haven’t had a bad start to the season.

Lufkin needs to win 2 of the 3 I feel to get in. Pack did not look good last night, from what I got to watch.

Waller will start 2-0 in district, then it’s all downhill. They could possibly pull an upset but not Top 4.  Lufkin’s games against the New Caney schools will be crucial for them to win.

Mav Quarterback Brent Burris broke the MHS single game record for passing last night Vs. McKinney North. 

He went 24-38 for 492 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Through 3 games he is 44-78 for 808 yards 7 scores and 2 interceptions.

Congrats to him.  He's waited a long time for this chance to shine.

Texas High changed QBs successfully against Forney. McHenry assumed the QB role and Cellers moved to WR. In my opinion, the move was best for both players. McHenry throws a better pass but not the threat Cellers is scrambling. But Cellers may be more dangerous now for opponents catching the ball in the open field. The two combined for several touchdowns against Forney.

I was told Cellars had 5 receiving tds in the 1st half.

He had 5 receptions with 3 for tds. McHenry threw 5 TD passes and was 23-29 for 368 yards. Total offense was 580 yards. Defense held Forney to 114 yards. Granted Forney isn’t Ennis, but it was encouraging on both sides of the ball.

Doesn’t look like Nac or Hallsville will have any make up games this week, which means everyone in 9-5A will be off. 

The ones that count start next week!  

Nac JV and Freshman will Travel to Texas High this week, other wise they wouldn't play since the varsity matchup is thanksgiving week.

It sure is a shame Lufkin and Nac couldn’t play each other. I’m willing to bet it would’ve been one heck of a game this year lol 

LP will right the ship.
