    So sorry aggy, so sorry Eli.  Westlake Chaps are State Champs.  Good job Todd Dodge.  

    You’ve got to be a real piece of shit to celebrate a high school kid getting injured like that.

  2. Westlake’s had so many heartbreaks in the state title game I guess it just makes sense that they’re gifted an easy W in this one. Sucks for that Stowers kid though. He’s a junior, don’t know what else Guyer has coming back but maybe they’ll get another shot next year.

    Go Bobcats !

    I know they get a lot of hate but I can’t help but to pull for them. Only South Texas team that does anything consistently in football. Cuero too but they’re not as dominant as Refugio. I’ll likely be waiting my whole life to see an RGV team make a miracle run, and even the SA teams have fallen off in recent years. So Refugio it is. Maybe Calallen can make more noise in 4A now.

  4. Do you ever just read the name of a recruit and think “yeah that guy won’t be very good”. It’s hard to explain. Had that feeling with Andrew Fitzgerald, Kobe Boyce, Garrett Gray, Max Cummins. Got that feeling today with Jerrin Thompson, Quentin Johnston (not coming here but still) and that Sawyer kid from Longview. JQJ, Bijan, Xavion, and Hudson card meanwhile just have names that carry weight. They will ball.

    Well, you seem sad, so just to provide you with some arguments that someone who doesn’t give up so easily might use:

    1. It makes no sense to disregard the non-football selling points, those are part of the decision.  This list would be way longer...
    2. This staff is entering the 4th year, stats and draft history beyond that is irrelevant.  No person has even had the opportunity to be recruited by Herman’s staff, developed for 4 years, and drafted.  Mack Browns last years left the program with insufficient talent and then we had two coaching changes in 4 years and who knows how many coordinator changes.  Chuck Strong was the worst coach in school history.  None of those factors tell us anything about how this staff can develop players.
    3. Yancy McKnight is showing physical development results, which are measurable.
    4. Texas will always be a big name program, which provides ample opportunities to showcase your talent.
    5. The road to a national title is theoretically easier from the Big 12.
    6. The program is stocked with highly rated recruiting classes, so there is talent around you.  You won’t have to do it all yourself and iron sharpens iron.
    7. However, some positions are thin, there are opportunities for playing time.
    8. Texas has the resources to hire the best coaches and resources to promote your development.
    9. you can be part of the legacy team that helps the program turn the corner
    10. state pride and help us show that Texas HS football has the best players
    11. In 2018, we won the Sugar Bowl.  This year we’ve been plagued by injuries.  The program is generally on an upward trend.
    12. We feel our coaching can be improved, so we’re making changes at coordinators and some position coaches to go hire the best.
    13. sure some programs are already functioning at a higher level, but they can only play so many people at once.
    14. Smaller schools don’t maximize your exposure 

     

    6 or 7 of those are very solid points. Hopefully a 17-18 year old would be dumb enough to believe the rest. 

  6. Saw a postgame interview with the Duncanville freshman on YouTube. He’s not very tall but he looks & sounds like he could be 21 years old. Definitely has his work cut out for him, but I hope they can pull off the W.

    Westlake has to love their chances against Guyer. Yes they’re a strong team but they’re not the athletically superior buzzsaw that Westlake always seems to run into in the state semifinal and state title games. I’m picking Westlake to win that one by 2 or 3 touchdowns.
