Yes, but they suck. Trying to see Lorena v Columbus and says "experiencing technical difficulties." Trying to watch Liberty Hill and it's so out of focus it's ridiculous and stalls more than it is live.

Any live streams tonight that don't require payment like NFHS? I'm seeing Malakoff vs Dallas Madison on SHN on YouTube.

Disregard previous got it. It says email must be verified and I think I'm doing that, but nothing changes to allow me to participate in the chat. Can anyone give a simple instruction on how to verify email on the app?

If that isn't case closed I don't know what is.

It's good like it is. Any 4 seed that thinks they shouldn't be in the playoffs, for whatever reason they choose, can simply forfeit as several have done this year.

Right, and we found several "1" pretenders last night and a few more will be revealed. They already know who they are. The real positive is the legitimate "4" contenders get to play another week or two or three.

Yes, we do need these games. See the list of examples already given and there will be some more. There are plenty of 4th place teams that are as deserving as 1st place teams from very weak districts. And a few of these will go several rounds. Don't know why some have to argue this every year. Arguing for LESS FOOTBALL????? I can't wrap my mind around that.

Well their website says "Leaders on the Field." Guess they'll have to remove that part. They already left out leaders in the classroom, so won't have to remove that if that was the issue.

Yep, hopefully it's something other than just not wanting to play, otherwise they may want to take the "Leadership" out of their school name.

Poor Yoakum, they played a crazy schedule and now have to play Yoe again. No upset going to happen there.

2AD1, R4; D14 4th place Ganado (7-3) from the Shiner/Refugio district has a decent chance of taking out D15 La Villa (8-2). Doesn't matter too much as neither of those teams are going to make any noise, but always good to win a playoff game as a 4th place team.

Not every team. You forgot about LH.

Yeah, kids are going to say stupid things sometimes. That along with the lack of execution by Carthage's rightly self-proclaimed superior athletes shouldn't diminish Liberty Hill's accomplishment or call for it to be attributed to luck. They put themselves in a position to win and took advantage of what was placed in front of them. Slot-T, when run to near perfection, is as much fun to watch as any offense, period.

Despite all the banter, I do appreciate Carthage and what they do year after year. Unquestionably one of the best programs in Texas. To attribute the second Carthage loss to luck on LH's part is still a slight. On paper, Carthage should wipe the field with LH anytime they play. LH wouldn't have been close in either game if it was luck. It was a lot of hard work and putting themselves in the position to take advantage of Carthage miscues etc.

It looks like you're trying to diminish or put down teams for working with what they have, if what they have doesn't measure up in the "athlete" department. You're missing the most important aspect of the great sport... Team. The first and most important part of football isn't individual athletes, it's team or team work. It's a classic case of not seeing the forest for the trees. That's why LH has beaten Carthage and so many others that have far superior athletes. LH has superior team work.

That's spot on for Liberty Hill. A wise man one said, "you have to play the cards that are dealt you." That's what LH does. When looking at them next to the teams they're playing, most people would pick the other team almost every time. They simply do not have the size or athleticism. Must be something in their water. The good news for them is they are playing a team sport and they work as well together as any team I've watched. You don't see them getting upset with each other on the sidelines when they're down like I see some other teams behaving like jack a's on the sideline, even talking back to coaches. That ain't happening at LH. They simply play smash mouth football and beat those who thought they were going to beat this undersized group of overachievers.

This is the same kind of talk a few fans from Refugio were saying after they lost to a top ten 3A team early this year. Those individual's have turned out looking rather silly as that program has had a fine season. Did those folks come back and post that they were wrong? Heck no. It's the same thing I've seen in watching various programs with good coaching, but they get pushed or lose a game and then the haters, many with a personal axe to grind, come out of the woodwork. Then when the team carries on and does just fine, those haters magically disappear, hiding behind a screen name. I don't know that this is the case here, but it wreaks with the same smell.

If you want to see the best in Texas, you will have to take the time and make the drive to see Liberty Hill. They've done it from 3A to 5A and the results speak for themselves. I've watched all the teams mentioned in person, all good, but LH is certainly the best.

Yes, I think we're in agreement. Therwanger has been successful at both, one with athletes and one not so much. Successful programs don't just happen, He knows how to do his job.

Not sure they needed it, but Garrison made believers of themselves last night and they'll take out CC.

I didn't see the game and don't really know much about Timpson's coaching staff, so perhaps you're right. But, this is a typical response from some fans when their top tier team gets pushed or beaten, immediately jump to bashing the coaching. A team can have all the talent in the world and remain average without coaching, even at the 2A level. I'd be inclined to give the Timpson coaches the benefit of the doubt considering Timpson's run over recent years.

Classy post giving credit to the other team. Good to see the respect between these two programs.

Now showing Timpson ahead 44-31. Someone messing with the score?

DCTF app shows Garrison ahead now? Is this right?

Dang. Does Garrison have what it takes to pull this one out?
