JoeBurns23 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Div. II East Texas Game of the Week. A Pine Tree win clinches a #2 seed in the playoffs (assuming they win 1 of their final 2 games) A Whitehouse win clinches a #2 seed and keeps District Championship hopes alive with a possible 9-0 vs 9-0 showdown for the season finale vs Texas High!!

bordertown Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Will be interested to see the outcome of this game from a Texas High standpoint. Hopefully Freeman is recovered in time for the game. Really could not evaluate his backup as the game was out of hand when he entered Pirate offense. He was able to move the offense in the 4th quarter after the THS starters were benched. Pine Tree OL had difficult time with the speed & quickness of the Tiger DL which disrupted their passing attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 If DJ Freeman is healthy.... I think Pine Tree wins handily. If he's not healthy....but plays...... I think PT wins a close one. If he doesn't play..... Whitehouse wins handily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micotrav Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Whitehouse is as solid of a team that you can find. The Royse City Bulldogs played them early in the season. We lost 22-20, but we have a very good team this year as well. Whitehouse should win this one 31-19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildTexan Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 If Whitehouse looks at game film of (T-High vs Pine Tree) game it will become evident of Pine Tree weakness. QB was kept on the move for the first half of the T-High game and roughed up near half time. 1st string QB will be a question mark for Whitehouse game. Backup QB played most of second half of T-High game and did not throw the ball very much this limits Pine Tree offense a lot. IMHO Whitehouse takes this game by a good margin.

If healthy the pirates win . Looking at the schedules/scores I'd be quicker to say Pine Tree has had a favorable schedule. None of their wins come from anybody with a winning record. I got WH by a FG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubhouse92 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I have watched every WH game this season and I'm still not sure how good they are. I was really hoping to learn something from the Marshall game last week, but it was more of the same. WH continues to capitalize on the opponents mistakes and finds ways to win. They are not as deep or talented as recent WH teams, but they are well coached and prepared for each game. Solid at each level on Defense. Not explosive on Offense, but good enough.

It happens to the very best. We played the number one team in the State in Class 5A DII and we got our tails handed to us. We made them mad, and you do not make Ennis mad and not pay for it in the end. Stats are deceiving sometimes, especially when you look at the final scoreboard total. Ennis had 509 total yards and Royse City had 455. We could not score in the second half, and our defense was riddled by graduation. We learned a lesson and made adjustments. Those adjustments are paying off now. Yes, we are a very good football team. We lost to an excellent football team. I've always thought that a team that progresses forward during the season will be just fine in the playoffs. Hopefully, those adjustments will make sure that we do not get beat by 53 points the next time. LOL! Once again, DO NOT MAKE ENNIS MAD! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas High is simply head and shoulders better than anyone else in the district. And it’s not even close. So they aren’t a great measuring stick for where teams 2-5 stand. IMHO.

RonLigma Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Pine tree wins. defense played good against the run vs thigh just got worn down and had no answer for #5 in the passing gm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacwagons Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 To really see how good WH is, we need to see how they play when they don't get an early lead. I think they have had a lead early in every game and works into their running game. To WH credit they have made the plays to get the early lead. I think PT finally puts them in early hole and exposes the WH passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I agree with your assessment of Pine Tree’s defense against the run. Texas High had 228 yards rushing in the game. The #1 RB was injured in the second quarter after rushing for 64 yards. The remaining 164 yards were largely gained by a 3rd string and a JV running back. The common factor with all the Texas High running backs is they ran behind an offensive line that dominated the opponent’s defensive line. I agree they did not give up many big plays on the ground, but 7 yard runs were common. I hope Freeman is available tonight for Pine Tree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildTexan Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Pine Tree defense is weak against a balanced run/pass type game. If Whitehouse can make at least 3 to 4 defensive stops in the game they should have a better than even chance of winning the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
