Who will shock the world

[ACE OF DIAMONDS]

All crap aside. Loraine really did beat Loraine in this one. Nothing bad towards Benjamin they’re a great team, but atleast 10-15 flags on Loraine’s end. The refs were absolutely horrible. It is what it is but very bad refs. Also, Loraine’s coach made no adjustments on offense after Benjamin made adjustments on defense. Loraine is a spread team but for some reason the coach hasn’t ran it all seasonI don’t get it. So much speed on that team too. I can see these two meeting up for round 2 in Jerry World come December Good luck to both teams

Loraine wasn’t up 38 points on themselves in that game. Loraine didn’t stop themselves from scoring from the first quarter till the pity party in the fourth quarter. Quit being absurd. Refs were horrible?! Did you watch the game and see what was called, holding when Benjamins players were tackled while being held. And personal fouls when they would target Benjamin players (mostly after whistles..)The refs had no influence on the outcome of this game and a crazy person would say different. Smh. #theresalwayssomethin

You’re being silly.

Go look at the film the players from Benjamin were face masking almost every play and playin dirty the whole game.

 

[The truth matters]

The insecurities that this chat has exposed is very interesting!! Yes insecurities and a deep lack of respect. Trash talk is trash talk but at the end of the day those throwing the biggest stones are incapable of being objective both ways and most certainly have zero accountability.

Here is facts. A kid got ejected and a person got asked to leave the chain crew. He was throwing hand s up yelling something. Late hit out of bounds. Just typical LB ball.

Here is the problem. Everyone wants to blame the coach or the refs. I understand the whole ref thing. I have been caught talking about officials on here. Not really bashing them but more about do they study film to get better. Everyone knows officials are a common factor in every game. They are human and trying to make the best call they can. That being said I do think they need to prepare and look back on the games they call. That’s a whole different conversation.

The coach part. Coaches prepare day to day and know the teams better than any fan or parent.

This is my opinion. Loraine came out strong and wanted to make a statement. However, once Benjamin took the lead and stopped Loraine the wells fell off. That’s when you see the silly flags come out. The chain member was asked to leave, the kid was injected a few plays later and some unnecessary late hits. I wouldn’t blame the coach or officials, I would blame who ever supports those actions. Start there.

Loraine has the team to make a splash they just need to stay focused and don’t quit when you get down alittle.

Refocus and learn from your mistakes. If you don’t fix the problem it will be an early exit.

All I hear is Loraine and Benjamin, both teams will be out by 2nd or maybe 3rd round lot of teams nobody is talking about, don't see any depth in both teams

Cherokee is good from what I’ve seen. A lot will be revealed this coming week!

 

[Roach]

Balmorhea is legit but so is Benjamin. Same with RS, Loraine, and Cherokee. Competitive year in both divisions so that is awesome to see.

Well said.

How about Tyler Heat not only beating Strawn but putting up over 100 points. Not sure many people saw that coming.

 

[oldfolks]

On transfer, maybe if a student and their parents physically moves into a district they should be eligible. The down side of this would be someone moving in in August and out in December especially if they are getting free rent just for that season. Back when I was in high school, 60 years ago, I don’t care if your parents and grandparents moved in and took over admin positions including HC/AD, you were not eligible until you had been enrolled in the school ONE YEAR. Didn’t worry about transfers and Coaches were careful moving if they had a kid enrolled. I don’t know when this changed.

I thought about going to that game but didn’t want to make the drive for it to be over at half. Never dreamed that Tyler Heat would win that game.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Loraine RB get knocked out of game with a concussion?

What’s your point? It don’t have anything to do with I’m talking about. Are you saying it was a cheap shot or illegal hit?

 

[Postman]

Yes, but he was replaced with a good JV kid the 2nd half. One goes down another has to step up. Both RB were out most of 2nd half but that's football. Some other kids got some tuff experience that will help down the road and I do mean tuff.

Who was the other back that was out

Totally agree. My Point was that had he stayed in it would have probly been a closer game just my opinion

 

[wildcatfan4]

maybe. Or maybe not. I don’t think it would change the mistakes from frustration like personal fouls or ejections. That’s the point I’m making. Not the Coach fault it’s a culture issue

Some good points Wildcat, but as a former official I can say that most spend hours each week reviewing rules, studying mechanics, and when film is available, studying that too. Most have real jobs and families too. Then they show up and do their best on Friday nights as part of a crew often missing a member. Yes mistakes happen, but every official I've worked with regrets those more than any fan or coach. I urge all of you with such passion for the game to consider applying to your local chapter.
