That is a tough start...what seems to be the problem at EF?? Have they lost a lot of kids or just a down cycle?? We lived close by and followed them when they were pretty salty but that's been a while ago. I think Coach Castles was there then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacket52 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Interested to see how this season goes I know the boys have lived in the weight room the past year and physically look different but the numbers are still down and lost the best athlete in the school this past spring to a tragic accident. Kids look leaner and stronger walking around so going to be a better product on field this season I think but results might not be what EF is used too in the past but I believe the boys will give it all they got.

Gen7Dragon Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Shelbyville has EF for homecoming in week 3 I think? I know for years and years EF always gave Shelbyville fits! We were actually in the same district several different times. I'm sure they hold the upper hand on the all time series but I don't know what to expect this year? Football has changed so much it's hard to predict these days. It seems the gap has widened between the top tier teams and the middle tier. It seems to me once you get outside the top 30 or so the overall quality of teams has dropped a lot. I guess it's always been that way, but It seems more exaggerated now. I also believe the culture changed a lot with 4 teams making the playoffs. A lot of 2-8 or 3-7 seasons are accepted simply because the team ends up in the playoffs. It doesn't matter that they lose in the first round 83 to 0! Or 55 to 12 in the first half and the game is called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no one on any level with better balance or vision. He is very strong too and runs a legit 4.5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost a good running back and a few good linemen. They have 10 Sr's that pretty much all played last year so that will help. They have a good quarterback/athlete and they can score. They also play good pass defense. I'm always very optimistic and I'm usually fairly good with predictions. I think they will surprise a few people. One thing that does hurt is low participation numbers and a few kids not playing that should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ijustwatch Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 My Son is in the 5th grade. I graduated from EF and Love it. I'm just giving you my take on things. Its an opinion not a fact. Its not just EF its the little schools around here. Waskom wont ever be the Waskom of the last 10 years. I saw there Varsity Picture sure doesn't look the same Team Keeling Had. My father in law is from L.K and he Graduated from the in late 80's they were dominant now I saw where they have 15 kids playing. Kids are moving to carthage/longview/dallas/houston. The days of the small town football I feel is going down hill and its sad to me I think my son will be a decent athlete unless something changes Im sure i will move him to carthage as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scrimmage ended early due to a fight but I'm pretty sure the young man did well. He is going to surprise some people as he really learns to play the game of football.
