budmanmpfan Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Oh boy, the start of district play is here. Time to watch Texas High continue its strangle hold on this district. They are coming into district play as the heavy favorite to win it and it wont even be close in any of their games. Some of the teams in the district might hang around for a half but their speed and tenacity will prove too much for anyone. MP on the other han comes in on a 2 week bye because of Arkansas High canceling on them. But I truly believe that will not help them very much except to get some players healthy that werent at 100% like Emory. Emory gave the Orange Tigers fits last year as he was in the backfield for a lot of the game but Texas High pulled away in the 2nd half and trounced the Black and Gold Tigers. MP considers this a rivalry game but when you only win 1 time in the last 15 years, thats not a rivalry, it is a whipping. I dont think the extra week will help MP this week. The run game is good but can it really get going on a team that held Tyler High to hardly anything running the ball. MP has not won a game a Grim since 2012 when KD Cannon was a Junior. I believe that streak continues. I hope MP can stay with them and give themselves a chance to win. Theres always a chance of turnovers and for the game to go MP's way but it is highly unlikely. With all that being said, I will be taking Texas High to win by at least 20. If MP can make it a competitive game, I will be happy. GO MP!!!!

THSfanatic Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I don't predict games. MP always has good athletes but they don't have the depth because of sheer numbers. That is hard to overcome. It would be a major upset if MP could come into Grim and take this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas High had an incredibly talented team that rolled though the playoffs to a state championship. Those playoffs games were blowouts with the exception of the semi-final game against Brownwood that was somewhat competitive. But the district season started on the road in Mt. Pleasant, who beat Texas High 10-0. It was not a "fluky" win. No horrible calls, No unusual freak plays. No accidental scores. It was a straight-up , legit, 10-0 win by Mt. Pleasant over the eventual state championship Texas High team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They called me gloating they had beat THigh. I said congrats yall beat the soon to be state champs. Yall were real good that season. Who was the QB for that squad? I know yall had Nathan Vasher right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led them back to semi’s year after.... unfortunately things happen, he didn’t make the trip to the game that day and that’s when mallett made his appearance as a freshman.

RogerDorn Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Vasher was a another good player. Still holds University of Texas interception record . He wasnt on that team though, Nate Jones is who you’re thinking about. Played at UT and in the league for a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I recall leaving Texas Stadium after the Tigers blew out New Braunfels in the state finals and seeing at least 20 kids in Mt. Pleasant letter jackets laughing and high-fiving each other and joining in the celebration with the Texas High fans. For their whole lives, those kids have a great story to tell about their high school football careers - we shutout a team that went on to win a state championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerDorn Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 wow. Thigh qb gets ejected for rest of game. 30-13 Texas high MP returns a kickoff and has great punt return to help lead to a score. things could get interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budmanmpfan Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 Nothing interesting about it. Mp played hard in the first qtr. Penalties killed their drives again tonight. After the first qtr it was all THigh. Good game to both schools. Glad everyone stayed healthy. Mp hosts Whitehouse next week for homecoming. This game could be very interesting. Thigh travels to Hallsville. That one will be a snooze fest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavchamp Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 WH Vs. MP is a playoff game IMHO. Winnable game for the Tigers based on what little I've seen of WH. But MP's lack of depth is always going to prevent them from being a favorite in most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
