Can't say "easy" when they still didn't game plan the way JT did for Mims or Larry....they (LP) never bracketed their WR or shut down the QB run the way JT did. QB hurt or not, their defense wasn't ready for LS firepower on offense and that showed in the explosive plays they gave up (believe it was like 8-9 explosive plays that Lufkin hadn't given up in a single game all year long.) JT knew what COULD happen if they tried to do the same thing Lufkin did. JT game planned more effectively and they executed WAY better than Lufkin. Period. Great game though, Cujo! GL this week vs. HP! Rooting for ETX!!

Don't you mean MP's great run in soccer AND Basketball? Hate the district threads will be different. Really enjoyed all the stats, updates, and info you posted on a consistent basis, Mavchamp! Keep up the great work, man!

If anything is ridiculous about that, it's Highland Park having a losing record because....well....it's Highland Park.

Cowboys never made an offer and I don't think they ever will make him an offer now. He'll become a huge distraction and media attention grabber that the front office has now said they do NOT want in Dallas after everything that happened: this past season (Zeke), off-season (Butler & Dez), and now with Witten blind-siding them with his retirement. I personally wouldn't mind them offering a league minimum to Brandon Marshall. We used to love offering older veterans deals to see if they had a little gas left....why not a big body red-zone threat? Kellen Winslow Jr. still a soldier???

Medical exceptions are allowed in UIL, but not NCAA. You're correct.

Cannot use tinted in UIL sanctioned sports including: shields, glasses, and/or goggles unless the head coach has given the UIL a written medical excuse that is deemed necessary per UIL rules committee. Had this one enforced on us because a kid had transition lenses for his eye glasses.

Update to my previous post about ONE of the girls passing....she HAS NOT passed. A LOT of misinformation being thrown around and mine was from what I believed to be one of the most reliable sources. She is still in very critical condition and the doctors are surprised that her condition has not worsened, but apparently her body is still fighting and she is alive. Massive brain injury, however, not clinically brain dead or anything yet......please keep the prayers coming for her and the entire MP community.

The young girl in critical condition passed away. Please keep: family, friends, Tiger Doll family, teachers/staff, and everyone in your thoughts and prayers. Horrible situation and devastating outcome for my hometown and these great kids.

Where did Tatum's former Boxell end up going? Hope he's doing well....great guy.

Maxpreps doesn't update any schools stats/rosters or information unless someone does it for them on the schools behalf. They only update rankings/etc. Someone from Carthage just needs to start being their official bookkeeper and taking care of it. Sad thing is, you could find a lot of good schools this year in Texas and nobody has updated anything from 2-3 years ago. Most of the time it's the schools coach/asst coach that does it all.

Fake news.... lol

I've watched Prosper and LE play 3 times this year on separate occasions...always thought Prosper was the better "TEAM", but when you have the #1 sophomore PG in the NATION (RJ Hampton) you will be able to play well with whoever else you got and compete. Highly doubt RJ stays at LE for the next 2 years though. He was supposed to go to prep school this past year, but backed out and stayed. MP now gets Lancaster who knocked off the #1 team in 5A, Waxahachie. Prosper now has Midlothian who knocked off the defending state champs. Looking for a sweet Regional Tournament with 2 great matchups. I love MP being the underdog....these seniors I've known since they were in JH. Don't count them out! Go Tigers!

Texas A&M Commerce

I saw where MP only had 23 rebounds vs. Forney total.....Man. With both McGills, Himes, Cannon, and Glinton they better be all over the boards tomorrow night vs. Liberty!

SS definitely has the length to be a tough matchup for just about anyone. I think a LOT of schools are overlooking them because they are such a deep NETX school. MP is super athletic as well, but will need their shooters to be on from here on out. They can't afford to have an "off" night and makeup for it with their athleticism. Frisco Liberty is good AND athletic. Frisco Lone Star just beat The Colony by 1 with 4.7 seconds left. Lone Star has the length and athleticism to play with SS. Should be 2 great 2nd round matchups I think.

Yup....so much. I've been wrong before lol

Well....IF they play the way they did the other night lol

I wouldn't. Seen all 4 of those teams play and also all 4 of the potential playoff teams from 16-5A...a sweep is a definite possibility this year. Lovejoy will get smoked by SS. I don't see MP or SS having any issues UNTIL the 2nd round. That 3rd place team last year that beat the undefeated MP boys in the second round was in a LOADED district with Prosper, Little Elm, McKinney North (the team that did it) and Creekview. HP lost a lot of talent from last years Regional Finalist team. Forney is the darkhorse in that district I think. DFW ball IS very different, but I don't think you see the actual DFW Ball that most people speak of from District 15-5A. Not this year.

I wasn't able to catch until the 4th quarter (great Facebook live feed btw!). What happened with all the techs? I mean....you hit it on the head, that crew should know it's a rivalry game and let the competitiveness come out! I hate that officials now want to T up any and every kid for just being competitive. Now if profanity and other extras are thrown around, that's when you need to get ahold of it. Sounds like the game last night had the typical East Texas crew rolling through with chips on their shoulders. smh Congrats to SS!

Definitely didn't mean for it to sound like you guys are some scrubs. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you guys can ball!! All I was trying to say was, Marshall PROBABLY could have HAD A SHOT (don't think I put that in the last post so that's my fault) at upsetting. It's going to take teams around here and the first couple of rounds (I think) to have a great shooting night and ball handling night to beat you guys.

Actually, there were TONS of protests when Bridgeport started beating down teams that year. I sat next to some people from the area at the state tournament that even admitted to themselves going to higher ups regarding the situation. They didn't agree with it, but said the UIL ended up finding everything was "legal." (and yes, they even used the hand quotes lol)

I gotcha. That's why I had to backtrack and edit the post to say it's probably parents/boosters because I figured I had misunderstood what you were trying to say. Completely agree! Play ball! T-High did and won last night. MP lost by 3 and only beat Marshall last night by 3.....goes to show Marshall probably could have beaten them as well if they stepped up instead of pulling that.
