2024 Texas High School Football

[Helobious 9503]

Dickinson gave Atascosita all they wanted and then some. Cita wins 50-45. The Gators will break through one of these years. Single school district, large enrollment, good talent base, nice facilities, they have all the ingredients to be a Houston power.

Another fun one looking over the matchups:
10-0 Sinton vs 0-9 Rio Grande City Grulla Thursday in Falfurrias

Will good ol Bill In Sinton be in attendance with his focusness?

I talked to him one time on the phone years ago. He was a pleasant enough guy. I have another friend in Sinton that knows him as well.

After going 0-10 last year and 3-8 the year before, the might Pilot Point Bearcats won their first round game against Mexia last night.

Vista Ridge up 7-5 at the end of the first quarter over Westlake. 

Is it just me, or does our offense look…not good?

This has been my 3rd straight year watching Dickinson since we moved to Texas City (daughter goes to Dickinson)... they have talent, just are missing a QB.. hopefully by the time my youngest daughter who will be a freshman there next season, graduates.. they will break through.  Two years ago.. they also had North Shore at their field sweating too til very late. #GATA

I think that Aguirre kid will be that guy. He's got the talent, I expect that soph to Jr level jump for him next year.

It is not good. Good teams will shut us down, but looks great against bad teams.

One of the things I really do like about my hometown is that Lampasas still uses the same field they have had that was built during the WPA-era in 1935. Generation after generation play on the same field. They also haven’t put artificial turf down like so many schools have opted to do. I do not believe they will ever leave that field for a new one or go away from natural grass. 

[Iceman 2668]

I don't have a problem with artificial turf, especially as it alleviates the water usage to keep the grass green in some very, very dry areas in Texas.

I do believe high school football should be an outdoor game, including practice facilities.  I know I am probably in an extreme minority.

 

Worst part of that game was that it ended in a freaking tie.

There are definitely some areas in Texas that have to have those fields. I always worry about injuries on artificial turf though. I just do not seem to remember such a high incidence rate of ACL tears and similar injuries when more grass fields were in use.

Good thing for Tidehaven penetrations didn't count in the Championship game.  PP had 1 and THS had 0.  2 great defensive teams at the time.

The Woodlands College Park beat Westfield yesterday.  Not bad considering how bad TWCP has been since forever.

This has been the concern since Dodge left.  Would they slowly get worse offensively (but not noticeably affect outcomes at first)?  This is what happened to LT.  The fear with a defensive minded coach is that offensive production is not the priority.  In Texas HS football, offense wins.

College Park is the "Rice" of the Conroe schools, while all of those gifted athletes just magically appear in the Woodlands attendance zone.

Check this out, last week Nederland (by Port Arthur) went to Texarkana to play.  That is a pretty good haul in itself.

(Westlake Jr QB) Wise has not progressed at all - he's just a big kid with a strong arm who never checks off of the first option.   I thought that Wilhelm was going to be able to use his size to become a go-to receiver, but he's regressed throughout the season.  The only offensive player who has really stepped up is WR/RB Livingood.  We'll see if they can generate enough offense to get past Brennan.

lol. This is the worst Brennan team I’ve seen in the past few years. Their QB is a decent athlete who cannnot pass to save his life. Northside ISD football has gotten tragically bad lately, Brennan/Harlan/Sotomayor are the very last holdouts and beat up on the rest of the district. But it’s coming for them too. I imagine Westlake will be up 4 or 5 TDs at half.

[ScottS 1059]

According to the comments, there actually was a coin toss.  So why this was done who knows.  Someone channeling the old XFL perhaps.

Any info on SA Harlan… they’re 10-1, but I have no idea how good their competition is or what they have going on.

Their whole offense is that Trotter kid at QB. Like Brennan, they beat up on an incredibly weak NISD schedule, and Harlan’s only loss was a blowout to Brennan. Will be a cakewalk victory for Dripping springs

The Brennan feeders are looking great winning district titles. I hear there is some good young talent coming up.

They’ll definitely be the best northside school for a while. They’re capitalizing on the growth out there to a level that Harlan and Soto just aren’t. 
 

The Northside feeder patterns are so scrambled now. Only 3 or 4 of the NISD high schools get 100% of at least one middle school (Brennan is one of them though). It’s a big reason why most of the schools struggle now imo. For example O’Connor draws partially from 4 different middle schools. Tough to build a program like that.
