2022 Texas High School Football

[Helobious 9462]

Judson says fuck your losing season, up on Churchill 39-3 in the 3rd. Crazy to think that was a clash of the titans game in the 80s & 90s. 

Steele up on Johnson 20-10 in the 3rd. 

[Fudbelty 2788]

28-0 at half.

37-0 Final

I always thought it was Pharr-San Juan-Alamo TEXAS but it could be Tri-Cities I guess. Lots of schools try to ape college and NFL templates and I can see why back when this was designed (been that way at least since I was in junior high and likely longer), those were farming communities and the colors maroon and white and so it makes sense. 
 

Execution is a bit clunky but it’s legible, far from the worst high school hats out there.  Too many of them get too busy with the logos. I know it’s long-standing tradition but I don’t like SLC, the cloud of smoke, the lightning bolts, the scales, the red tongue, and the outline of Texas combine to be way too busy. 
 

 

Yep, it’s for the Tri-Cities.

Our secondary will have its hands full on Friday, as PSJA has one of the best QBs in the valley. @956 Worldwide not sure he can do it alone though, I’m still picking the cards to win.
 

Sidenote: do you or maybe @Nueces River Rat or anyone else know why their helmets look like this? Their mascot is Bears, is the “T” for tri-cities? Always thought it was the ugliest/stupidest helmet design of all time. 

Back in my day when PSJA had one high school, I recall the letters PSJA were on the helmet similar to how LSU has them on theirs.

McHigh does that now with a bulldog instead of a tiger. 
 

Game of the night appears to be ridge point beating Tompkins 35-33 in 2OT.

[Beau Vine 54253]

First round is a joke -- go here: https://www.texasfootball.com/scores/?ref=nav

And scroll down past 6A and count the close games.  You'll get maybe 10 total.

 

Interesting scores:

Steele 34 Johnson 17

Game of the night: Ridge Point 35 Tompkins 33 2 OT  

Weslaco 16 Edinburg 13

Magnolia West 17 Galveston Ball 7  Ball's D had allowed 14 points all season.

McAllen 24 Harlingen South 15

G-P 64 Mission Vets 6

Mercedes 37 Pioneer 27

Jarrell 32 Devine 14  The Warhorses had been 9-1.

I saw that Ball was 10-0 on the season too.  I guess Casey Hampton and/or Brandon Backe aren't walking through that door.

Desoto beat Pflugerville Weiss 37-20. Weiss hung in there a lot longer than I thought they would.

Yeah I didn't realize they were in a district with all HISD now.  That explains all the shutouts.

Round Rock cedar ridge uses the same song for the school song as Westlake. Not sure if our plucky little guys will be able to over come this. 
hopefully we can get some breaks and the refs can help us out. 

It's good to see the kids from the mean streets of Westlake able to overcome adversity and find some success.  Having football/sports to give their lives direction is important to help keeping them out of trouble.

It's nice to see Westlake finally catch a break!

It’s a rollercoaster, once in a decade team that makes it beyond the 3rd round when talking west Texas. My Abilene team in 2004 would have beaten seven shades of shit out of my little brother’s 2009 team that won state, and we lost 3rd round on an interception in the endzone with 8 seconds left to SLC that year. We had more D-1 athletes and were a more complete team top to bottom.

TLDR; high school kids are fickle at best

 

2004 was a fun year in Abilene, there was that team and Wylie won state with Keenum at QB. Great time for Big Country football, Jim Ned was also really good.

I remember my district in 2005.

 

Cameron and Hutto with Jeremy Kerley both made it to the regional final with Hutto making it to state vs Tatum.

Giddings with Brock Fitzhenry losing to West Orange-Stark with Deon Beasley and Earl Thomas in the regional final.

Yeah, I would have favored Jarrell.  That district frequently goes 4-0 against Devine's district.

Taft also lost to a really sorry Jay squad and no one in that district chucks it around like United except for Brennan. Bad matchup for them.

Reagan played in a much weaker district and doesn’t have a big athletic advantage over NB. Reagan has a sophomore RB that burst on the scene this year but their QB play is lacking, while NB is solid at QB.

Not sure if the right thread but any ideas on where to pull up specific high school games via streaming? Our nephews is on dripping springs and wanted to be able to pull up the game.

I think his lack of passing ability is going to be the thing that catches up with us. Just doesn't have the zip or accuracy of Klubnik.

That feeling you get when you realize your high school team could have made a Daingerfield-like run in a bunch of other states but didn't make it out of the second round in Texas. 

(This is the South Dakota state championship.)

Well, behind the endzone says "University of South Dakota" so likely not normal stadium.  Also, if looking up Wall HS it is in a district that is 9 man football due to it's size, so that does seem to explain them not being imposing.

Jarrell > Devine

Dalhart > Denver City

Hamilton > Tioga

Riesel > Cayuga

Ganado > La Villa

Big Spring > El Paso school

Abilene > El Paso school

The Axtell Longhorns got their first playoff win in 10 years beating Rosebud Lott.  Honestly, I thought the drought would've been longer than that.

Windthorst damned near became the 9th in that group of 1's.  Trailed Celeste 21-7, before coming back late to win, 35-27.  The Trojans aren't as strong as in recent years, but the playoff experience and good coaching sure can go a long way!

Scratch my New Braunfels upset prediction. Holy fuck

https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022/11/11/new-braunfels-high-quarterback-shocked-falls-from-utility-pole-officials-say/

Starting QB was climbing a utility pole last night for some reason, got electrocuted and fell 25 feet to the ground. Somehow is still alive at the moment.

If he’s alive he wasn’t electrocuted

Well the bad news is that the NFHS broadcast of Bowie & Vandegrift is worse than a terminal disease.

Maybe he died on the inside?  Or he died, and the shock of slamming into the ground brought him back.

If star RB Epi Hinojosa hadn't torn up his knee, I'd take Calallen, but without him, I don't see them scoring enough points to handle Boerne.

Given this I’m calling an early upset. Calallen loses to Davenport in the second round. 

[Post Oak 20244]

Lorena loses. One year after winning it all. The state champs are 1 and done.

[Mac8111 2107]

New Braunfels wins.

Warren beat Eagle Pass.

Denton Ryan out in Round 1 of 5aD1. Lost 29-28 to Red Oak.

According to maxpreps Ryan went up 21-0. Red oak tied it 21-21. Ryan went up 28-21. Red Oak scored then went for two to win. Holy shit what a game.

[Beau Vine 54253]

Jeez, I was wrong.  A LOT of great games tonight:

Lewisville 30 Allen 12  The Fighting Farmers D just completely dominated, holding Allen to 227 yards.

Whitehouse got a 16y TD pass on 4th-12 late to upset Lovejoy 31-27.

Cuero 13 Salado 7 OT.  This was 0-0 midway through the 4th as howling wins limited both offenses, but particularly Cuero's.

SOC 12 Mansfield Summit 7  The Bears needed a punt return TD in the 4th to avoid the upset, only 112y total offense.

Cain 31 Cy Ranch 24

EP Pebble Hills 45 Permian 28

LT 35 Round Rock 10

New Braunfels 17 Reagan 13  Why does Reagan always underachieve in the playoffs?

Waxahachie 30 Temple 21

SV 30 Cedar Park 7

Red Oak did this to Ryan:

Burl Cent 55 Lake Belton 28

Georgetown 21 NB Canyon 17

Kennedale 10 Waco LV 7

Somerset 27 Lampasas 17

Bellville 27 WOS 20

Sealy 31 Jasper 15

Yoe 39 Yoakum 28

Columbus 24 Lorena 21  Lorena rallied from 21-7 to tie with 3 left, but Columbus drove the field and got a walkoff FG.

Spearman 21 Abernathy 7  4 over 1 shocker

They need a generational talent to go far in the playoffs (Marcus Wright, Trevor Knight). They’ve been lacking that in recent years. 
 

Brutal night for my other picks:

Taft - 49

Laredo United - 14

Warren - 47

Eagle Pass - 28

Harlingen’s secondary really struggled to contain that PSJA quarterback I hyped up, the bears even almost scored a point on a few different occasions. 49-0 cardinals win.

 

[Mac8111 2107]

I can’t speak to how the hell Jay beat Taft during the season, but Taft has that RB that is an absolute beast to bring down. Once he gets to that fourth step, he is carrying your entire linebacker crew with him. But they are very one dimensional, they just do it really well.
