Hmm, you're the second Shagster/Surlie that's from my hometown. What are the odds.

 

I've heard from an old high school buddy (that still lives there) that when they do win, they are crushing the opponents.

They were cleaning up on shitty AISD teams (pardon the redundancy), but they beat Dripping in OT last week, and Drip has been pretty good the last few years.

Yeah, the AISD 5A district is a dumpster fire.  LBJ and McCallum can be decent occasionally, but the rest is awful.

Pressure him and he'll shit all over himself. He isn't the athlete or the kid with a lot of high dollar specialized coaching their QBs usually are.

They've been winning in spite of him because of the talent around him. Their RB is good.

Pasadena HS has only scored 41 points this season and given up almost 400 so it isn't surprising that Atascosita got up so big early. Several of the Pasadena schools are pretty bad so Humble ISD is dominating 22-6A this year. 

As for Atascosita, they were lucky to escape Summer Creek last week and Kingwood gave them a run as well. Don't think Atascosita is as good as last year but will win the district after beating Summer Creek. 

Interesting dynamics setting up between Atascosita and Summer Creek in the district in the future. Summer Creek hired Kenny Harrison from Port Arthur Memorial last year - former Longhorn - and we all know Atascosita's coaching staff is led by former Ag Craig Stump. Both schools sit squarely in the high growth area in that part of town. Depending on how fast that area grows, they might have to insert a 3rd HS in between the 2 (land is already purchased.....just need demographics to catch up). Until then, these will be the 2 largest schools in HISD and likely the two slugging it out for district supremacy (at least as long as both are in 22-6A).

QB must have played a sound game tonight. 

He completed a few nice passes and big gains against a soft Temple zone, but most of the damage came on the ground. Their workhorse RB put up 220 or so, and he was gashing them on 1st and 2nd downs. I was impressed with Midway's coach. He seems to get that HS football isn't football anymore. It's a video game. He went for it on 4th down 4-5 times, I think, maybe even 6, including on 4th and 1 from his own 10. The only time Temple stopped them on 4th they were called for a facemask and the drive continued anyway. I like Temple's coach but he seems to consistently lose close games like this because he plays too conventional, IMO (see: state title game vs. HP where they run the same power dive play four times from the one and come up empty).

Overall I though both teams played pretty even. Temple just played sloppy, which has been an issue for them throughout this latest period of football success. They turned it over three times, including a pick-six and a fumble on the first play after forcing a Midway punt in the 4th Q, tied at 28-28. They gave up an onside kick following Midway's go-ahead FG - a toe-punch that hit a guy at midfield and everyone stood there looking at it while Midway recovered with about four minutes left. Plus Temple turned it over on downs twice inside the 10. The first time they got too cute with a dive play from the squatty nose tackle that went nowhere, and the second time they just came up a few inches short on the goal line.

Midway's obviously doing something right; they've won 36 straight district games and they keep finding a way to edge Temple every year. I'm not sure if either of these teams has a long playoff run in them in 6A this year, but that was a fun game to watch.

[Beau Vine 54,254]

From Stepp's column:
 

Temple is now put in the odd situation of improving its possible playoff seeding with a loss next week at Copperas Cove. If Temple beats Copperas Cove, the Wildcats face the very tall task of a bi-district playoff game at Longview who will likely be 10-0 going into that matchup. If Temple loses to Copperas Cove, the Wildcats will actually end up hosting a playoff game as that would send Midway into the Division I bracket. An odd twist to the split division setup in Class 6A.

[Dennis Taylor 18,830]

Cy Ranch could be poised for a run in region 2 division 2. They will avoid Allen, North Shore, and Katy

I saw that last night on FOX SW. I cannot imagine that Stewart would entertain essentially throwing the game for better playoff seeding. And you figure if you want to make a run you'd have to play them eventually anyway. Temple isn't new to knocking out undefeated teams... Manvel, George Ranch, Foster, Ridgepoint, etc.

But they haven't done it at the 6A level.

And I agree that there is no way they intentionally lose. As much sense as it may make, it goes against everything coaches believe and teach their players to do.

[Beau Vine 54,254]

I'm not even sure what would constitute the term "intentionally lose."

That said, they already have a berth in the playoffs locked up.  A lot of other teams do, too.  And a lot of those teams will bench starters, either before or early in the game, to get them fresh and healthy for next week.  I don't see anything wrong with that.

Sure, but I can't see them benching starters to the point that they allow themselves to lose the game. Cove doesn't have the QB play this year to beat Temple straight up, and unlike Midway, there aren't enough other pieces on the team to do it in spite of the QB.

You're right, they haven't. But in their last four years in 5A they went to two state finals and two regional finals, and quite a few of the teams they beat were all right there on that 6A/5A line as well so it's not like their success came solely because of weak competition. Also worth noting that Temple's last playoff run when 5A was still the top classification, Cedar Hill had to rally from down two scores in the 4th Q to oust them.

Not saying Temple would knock off Longview, just saying that they tend to come to play when it matters.
