Grapeland 40, Alto 26

Grapeland if I'm not mistaken beat Alto 67-0 in 1977.

I will say that unless there is a MASSIVE spike THSF will continue with state champs being crowned. We'll know more probably as we approach Halloween and the first couple weeks of November.

The COVID craziness that is 2020 has a lot to do with this but Huntington is going to beat Trinity, Westwood, and Elkhart. This team is going to win 5 games minimum. I changed my mind on one thing: so far Huntington has a better chance to beat Diboll than Crockett, if they're going to pull an upset on one of the two.

Huntington is 2-0 and I don't think that has ever happened. They're going to beat Trinity, Westwood, and Elkhart. That's 5 wins there.

Joaquin 20-14

Carlisle 32-14

Unless there are a rash of injuries or some bad report cards (or God help us COVID), this is Grapeland`s district to lose. Alto has been really disappointing and I'm not sold on Groveton yet. Everyone else in our district is so-so. But this is 2020, a year where everything may change 5 minutes from now. Who knows?

Alto`s game vs. Centerville will be for the final playoff spot in district.

Grapeland traded Mart for another pain in the butt: Refugio lol.

They have Diboll and Crockett but also Trinity, Westwood, and Elkhart. Those last 3 I think are beatable teams for Huntington. Coldspring if I remember correctly is in the district but they are a so-so team. So they win 4 district games and it really depends on how Crockett`s season plays out.

History has proven multiple times (the Saints in the NFL and the Clippers in the NBA are two examples) that once a much-maligned team finally starts tasting what winning tastes like that it might be years or decades before they lose again. Huntington I think may be one of those teams.

You heard it hear first. Grapeland is #9 in 2A-Div I and although we defeated Shelbyville 32-19 it was closer than the score indicated. Then Huntington holds a better-than-average Shelbyville Dragons team to 7 points? Diboll is not as talented as in recent years, Crockett lost a lot to graduation, and to me I think 6 wins and maybe a 2nd place finish is not impossible.

They've never beat Crockett but that 60-7 drubbing of Corrigan last week was misleading because CC looks atrocious this year. Crockett lost a ton to graduation and it began to show last night against Rusk. They'll make the playoffs but that district is wide open. Huntington looks really good so far.

There's something about Huntington this year. Shelbyville gave Grapeland a tougher game than the score indicated and we're #9 in the state! And then Huntington turns around and holds the Dragons to a lone score?Huntington has never won more than 3 games in a season ever. I say they beat Crockett this year and win 6 games! They won't back into the playoffs this go-round.
