    Kilgore will have to lean on the defense early on in the season....offense will probably struggle early as we lost the entire offensive line and QB along with having arguably one of the toughest non-district schedules in the state to break in the new guys (Carthage, Whitehouse, Gilmer, PG)....but, with that being said, I truly believe Brooks is more than capable of leading the offense at QB...especially, after what I seen him do after being thrown in the fire against Needville last year in the 3rd round....as for the Oline I have been in Kilgore my whole life and there has not been many times I thought to myself, our Oline is terrible...that's something along with RB's Kilgore has always figured out and done pretty well at replacing!!...I think I'm just more excited to see who the new guys will be and also, to watch some of our defensive studs grow even more and continue causing problems for opposing teams ;)

    Non district for Kilgore is one of the toughest I can remember in a long time for East Texas 4A ball. Chapel Hills non district is extremely tough as well

  2. My 2 cents in early March:

    1. Kilgore - until proven otherwise in my opinion...the defense was incredible last year and they're all back it seems

    2. Lindale/Chapel Hill - Lindale and CH both replace a lot. CH has the dudes in the backfield, but they lost the monster offensive linemen...Lindale loses Thurman and Poe...hope the Eagles have something to replace them in the pipeline.

    3. Lindale/Chapel Hill - Loser of this game

    4. Pine Tree - Good athletes and coming down from 5A. I'd be shocked if they don't get in.

    5. Palestine - Reyes is a good coach. Interested to see if he can execute his system in Palestine. They haven't exactly thrown the ball a lot recently.

    6. Henderson - Growing pains and recovery from the previous staff continues.

    7. Mabank - Welcome back to 9-4A...unfortunately it's a bad draw for the Panthers.

    I received all of the nominations thru the holidays and will begin the process of selecting the team. It won't be easy and I hope to release before middle of the month. Thank you for asking.

    Any updates on this @Smoaky? Looking forward to seeing the teams!

    I mean its his publication so he can definitely call it what he chooses....its just a matter of how much stock you put into it...but congrats to those kids for the recognition regardless 

    Agreed. I just see a lot of coaches sharing this stuff (as they should...always promote the kids!) but I think it has significantly less merit than other publications. I'd be embarrassed if I were a school that had 10 kids land on the "All-State" team and my team finished 4th in district play behind teams with 0 kids on the "All-State" teams!

    Appreciate your response though @MattStepp. You guys do it the right way over at DCTF.

    I dont know how long the contract is but I'm not sure Bally as an entity will last through said contract

    Ahhh...well that's one way to ensure change happens. Hope the next deal is better.

    Go to their app. I believe they are having a 7 day free trial right right.

    Another option is DirectTV Stream.  They have a 5 day trial right now.  Make sure you cancel it though, its $84 a month after those 5 days.

    Yeah...I found a way. I just think its dumb that every year I have to create a new account and then cancel because I refuse to pay for it year round. 1st world problem for sure...just wish it were a little more simple.

  7. Someone who knows more (Maybe @MattStepp) fill me in...how long is the contract with Bally Sports to broadcast the UIL State Championship games?

    I'm tired of jumping through hoops every year to find a way to watch because my current TV provider doesn't carry Bally.

  8. DoD lives up to its name again in my opinion...

    Last 4 years:

    4 Regional Champions from this district (Lindale 2020 / Chapel Hill 2021-2023)

    2 State Championship Appearances (Lindale 2020 / Chapel Hill 2023)

    Lindale/Kilgore/Chapel Hill have combined for 35 playoff wins over the past 4 years (CH 14 / Kilgore 12 / Lindale 9)

    Hard to argue that success over the past 4 years in 4A-D1
