  1. LE's offense is not that good and they live and die with the big play. The LE defense has forced an unusual amount of turnovers this season and they must do the same against PG. I hope LE wins but I believe PG will win. PG has an injured qb that came from LE as an 8th grader. If LE had him and the other players that transferred out PG would be a different team. Gilmer is eventually going to get its well deserved idiot slapping and they should be proud of the fact that they have the dirtiest player on the d-line that I have seen in a long time. He pinned both LE qbs down and beat on them after interceptions. I won't publish his number but you all in Gilmerland know who he is.
  2. They have a sophomore that will be eligible next week that started for Liberty Eylau as a freshman last season before transferring last season. He is tall and fast and has good hands. It remains to be seen how he is utilized an fits in the offense at this point in the season. He has a brother that is becoming eligible also that plays safety, linebacker, and running back.
  3. Mavs are better this year, THS is not. Mav coach snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with the surprise on-call kick which gave THS great field position. The Mav kicker would have booted the kickoff in to the end zone for a touchback and THS would have gotten the ball at the 25 yard line instead of the 50.
  4. What difference does that make? LV has 3 times the number of students enrolled than the private school. That school is still kicking butt in Arkansas. Private or not, everyone is beatable.
  5. Several years ago LV hosted North Little Rock High School which was one of the best teams, overall, in Arkansas. NLR had a running back that went on to sign with Alabama. I think that he may have barely rushed for around 100 yards. I attended that game which LV won. The difference in the game I believe was that NLR had never played against a team with the overall team speed, especially on defense, that LV possessed. This year's edition of the Lobos is not the same caliber of the Lobos then but this is probably going to be a decent game. Don't be surprised about the outcome of this game either way. Bryant is an excellent program and a state champion the last two seasons I believe. Don't get too overconfident because of what you think you know or actually don't know about Arkansas football. A team came out of Little Rock a few years ago and beat Highland Park in Dallas stopping their long home winning streak. Just saying...
  6. On the local radio show Leaving The Yard, Arkansas High AD/HC Barry Norton stated on the air the following: 1. He and the TASD superintendent had discussed the game in light of the COVID issue and also in light of some state governmental positions in the State of Arkansas 2. He stated that he and the Texas High AD/HC had discussed playing the game and that the decision was mutual and was cordial. 3. Mr. Norton lamented the alleged fact that the people who were complaining about the game not being played were individuals who "probably had not ever had to make and important decision in their life." 4. Mr. Norton was against playing the game with few or no spectators and streaming the game because in his opinion, that would have cheated the band, pep squat ect., of the game experience. IMHO, he is full of it and other than dealing with possible directives from the State of Arkansas and his statement about the Texas High coach he is just plain wrong. I don't think that any sub-varsity games were played. That fact is one thing that is hurting his squad this season because they played no sub-varsity games last season and experience is hurting them as a team. Texas High, looks to me like they really had no choice in the matter. His condescending attitude about fans never in their lives ever having to make a important or life affecting decision is just plain wrong. I know that there are others on this forum besides myself who have made those types of decisions many times in their personal and professional lives. The game could have been played with just the bands and pep squads present with no fans and streamed over the local streaming services. The bands could have performed and all of the students could have cheered on their respective team. I don't know about Arkansas High's band but at this time of the year the Texas High band's halftime routine is basically practice for their upcoming marching competitions. I did not hear any commitment about playing the game next year but Mr. Norton is well aware of the difference that the size of enrollment makes in building a football program. After all, he had been on both sides of this coin. Never-the-less he was open to playing the game if it is felt that the Hogs are going to have several good classes coming through their pipeline.
  7. Until L.E. proves that it can move the ball and score on offense and reduce turnovers I will go with their opponents every time this season and next. They have lost so many top players to other schools in Texarkana and it could take two or three years at the earliest to recover. Every so often they have once in a generation players come through the program at the same time. This happened but now those players are elsewhere and the reasons that this has, and continues to happen goes in many directions. A real dysfunctional situation.
  8. Most of the time no one team dominates another team 100% of the time. Every dog has his day. Going with Legacy.
  9. IMHO, COVID is just a convenient excuse for AHS to discontinue this game because of the disparity in the sizes of the two schools even though that has not been a factor in the past. We will not find out for sure until later on this year when the coaches, especially in Texas start compiling their schedules for the next two year cycle. This sentiment of discontinuing this series has been floating around the past few years. Last season, both AHS and PG had games canceled because of COVID on the same weekend. Arkansas's coach Norton goes on the media and states that he looked everywhere to find a game but was unsuccessful. If both teams had been willing and contact was made between Gibson at PG and Norton, that game could have materialized. Arkansas's game was a home game so it seems like they would have had concessions and officials ready to go and Arkansas's stadium would have easily accommodated the spectators. Besides, AHS, PG, and LE are all close in the size of their student populations so maybe AHS can still schedule games with a city opponent that does not have 1000 more students than they do. If AHS and Norton want out then so be it. Don't let the door knob hit you...
  10. Both stadiums are about the same size but you are right.
  11. Not all of their games. PG and LE will get streamed also over the course of the season. Not sure about Arkansas High, something peculiar going on there.
  12. Maybe on Texarkana Gameday on Facebook or on Texarkana Gameday on YouTube.
  13. For any LV fans who would like to see some game video of your game with Bryant, Ark., go to the website Hooten's Arkansas Football.com. Bryant had a scrimmage against Pulaski Academy recently and you Lobo's can get a look at your opponent. Both of those Arkansas schools are defending state champions.
  14. I think that the Hog qb this year comes back over to football from the baseball team. He has committed to the University of Arkansas to play baseball as a back catcher. He is supposed to have a pretty good arm and he has participated in the football program before.
  15. The offensive line will be alright this season I believe. They may not be as big this season as compared to last season and I don't think that they will have the overall depth in the line that they had last season. Last season's receiving group is better than this year's group. We have three good running backs back from last year and had another one transfer in from one of the other local schools. We have some extra depth at linebacker from a transfer that was a starter in his last program that was getting D1 looks prior to transferring in. The back end of the defense is going to be a concern this season and they will be tested when LV comes to town for the scrimmage. Overall, IMHO, I do not believe that this year's Tigers are a good as last season's version but they will be OK. Like everyone else, they must avoid injuries and COVID, and continue to improve overall as a team.
  16. Whether THS wins or loses this game, right now, is not important. What is important is all of the love that we are getting from MavChamp and yes, Brrrruhhhh from Tyler, go back and get your GED and major in English grammar. It makes you look bad...
  17. Okay, newbie, you are so stupid and even though your team was has been in the playoffs in recent years, you personally are not accustomed to success. If your team loses a game, then you lost to the best. If you lose then that team that beat you was good but probably could not do it again. If your team wins then the teams that you beat were overrated or they played in weak districts. In case you did not know, at least up here in Northeast Texas, we have to play teams that are in our immediate geographical areas. We have not choice in who comprises our district. By the way, I am not ashamed of any of the teams that are in our district. You always have a warped rationale that you try to use to justify whatever your opinion is. After the game, I spoke with one of your offensive linemen, the one that got a leg injured (slightly, I hope he plays Friday). I wished him the best and he said that he thought that Texas High is a good team. Because of him I really hope that they win state. As for you, I am done with this thread and you can stick any of you following opinions in your anal opening.
  18. My feelings have nothing against the players or their coaches. Like I said, my feelings would not be understood. I would rather leave it at that.
  19. Some of the things that haunted THS were things that Crosby had nothing to do with such as consecutive false starts and things of that nature. Like I stated before, the way that Crosby runs their offense calls for the defense to be especially disciplined, especially on the corners. Our defensive backs, mainly the cornerbacks were not a factor at all in the game. My opinion all season was that the cornerbacks were going to be the downfall of the team eventually. Crosby in not going anywhere near a championship giving up 455 yards to the pass alone. You have your opinion and I respect that but I am not the only one in attendance who feels like this was not a winnable game for THS even if Crosby is the better team, which they are. The better team does not always win the game and your team's recent history should of losses this season should tell you that. Good luck in the playoffs.
