upullinmychain Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Just crawled out out of my cave again in time for some football. Somebody give me the lowdown on The True East Texas District. IMHO it could be a four way beat down, with the winner limping out the back side. If the winner emerges unscathed, they could take state. Sound about rite to you Blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion1996 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Remember last the second place team in district won our region. So just need to get in the tournament. And hope you get on a roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the winner emerges unscathed, they could take state. Sound about rite to you Blue?I feel that District 11 is very strong this year, but I think District 12, considering they went 3-2 against us in the playoffs last year, with Centerville taking the regional title, is just as good, if not better. Centerville, Lovelady, and Groveton all look tough again. As far as our district goes, there should be at least one, usually two, shonuff slobber knocker ball games each week. Starting with Joaquin at Alto, then Alto at Carlisle, then SA/ Alto and Joe/ Carl in Week 3, it ain't for the faint hearted. Staying healthy is a big key, but playing every snap like it's your last is even bigger, IMO. I'm not ready to give a prediction just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion1996 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I was meaning I think anyone that comes out of d11 has a chance to win state not just who wins district Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue82 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I was meaning I think anyone that comes out of d11 has a chance to win state not just who wins districtI would love to agree with you, but it seems that in recent years, Region 4 has had our number. If I'm correct, the last Region 3 team to get to the state finals was Mart, and they're not in Region 3 anymore. That's a trend I'd love to see reversed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambo Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I don't know. He knocked a Logansport kid's head off the other night. For a kid 5'8" 260#, he's pretty light on his feet. But he's also strong enough that you can't block him. Very difficult to get under his pads. It hurt me watching Bell hit that kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion1996 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yeah just like #4 d12 almost knocked off #1 d11. Which made no sense when they lost by 30 to all the other playoff teams in d12. So I'd say any can have a bad game and lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upullinmychain Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yeah, that team was running the double wing, the same offense we ran for five years, and we played Hobb trying to defend it.. They saw it ever day in practice during junior high and still like to let it beat them... Hahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion1996 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I watched Carlisle last year against centerville. I'd even say that they had the better team. But that game had some crazy plays that could have gone either way. So that score again ws was a shock I watched ws against lovelady and starters didn't play the 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RipperRipper Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Don't ever count Joaquin out. 11-2A would be wise to not overlook them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upullinmychain Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Newton, Garrison, Beckville and by some accounts dfield could be dropping into 2A D1.. Let that sink in for a minute....

What a freaking region this could become... HahahaIt will be real interesting to see the snapshot numbers in a couple of months. It's amazing at the schools that are now in the discussion to be in Class AA. I can remember when Newton, Hemphill, San Augustine, and Daingerfield were all in Class AAA, which is now Class 4A.

AsYouWere Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 We had about 4 or 5 forced fumbles and a few picks...but we weren't really playing anyone! Garrison will be our first real test! Y'all have to play Hemphill before you play Garrison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomer Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 One or two. Even beat the Bearcats, I hate to admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAWolfman Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Y'all have to play Hemphill before you play Garrison! Lets see...Garrison held their own against a good Arp last week. They are a lot better than any team Hemphill can put out this year! Even though Hemphill did go 0-10 they have to be better than they were last year, but get real they arent beating this SA team.

From the TEA numbers from last year Garrison and BeckvilLe are below 220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
