Post updates here.
LT vs San Antonio Brennan tonight. I think LT has a championship-caliber team this year. Not their best team ever but they are very good.
Dickinson strikes first. 1yrd-run on 4th and goal. Pearland had a FG blocked the possession prior.
Texas #5 Dickinson 7
Texas #6 Pearland 0
7:15 2nd
Looks like Dickinson has got it going. After a Pearland INT. Dickinson's WR mosses 2 Pearland TDs on a 4th-and-1 for about a 25-yrd TD Pass.
Dickinson 14

5:00 2nd.
Pearland tried to get cute and start throwing the ball when their RB was starting to get 6-7 yards a pop.
The result....a HORRIBLE INT in the redzone. No points plus a lot of clock used on opening 2nd half possession.
I think that's Pick #3 thrown by the QB for Pearland tonight.

Let me add 5AD2 #1 South Oak Cliff (11-1) v #9 Terrell (12-0)
I was in Austin a few weeks ago for the Texas/Vandy game. We got back to the room and caught the local Friday night HS football highlight shows when I was flipping through the channels. Granted it was Halloween, but what I noticed on almost on all of the highlights was how empty all those stadiums were. Maybe it was due to Halloween, but it was really noticeable how in almost every highlight those places looked like no one was there.

Yes, attendance is generally down across the state. It's not just b/c it was Halloween. I have no definitive insight into why, could be due to more access to game streaming.

If I remember the UIL used to have some rule against games broadcasting live in TV in Friday. But Live streaming is a different platform and you are right, probably a big part in lower attendance.

I commented on this a couple of weeks ago, but Seashells assured me that the game was a sellout 😄

I must have missed that banter, but yes it was really noticeable and one of the first things I noticed. I was thinking I thought it would be more like a religion down there. And judging by some of those multi multi million dollar stadiums I saw that set empty, I thought what a complete waste of money.

There wasn't much banter. One or two posts, and I THINK she was kidding, but I had the same thought: where's the Friday Night Lights passion.

Phew, bullet dodged.
I was worried I missed another, knockdown, drag out Donnybrook, all holes barred, battle Royale at the OK Corral, Bloodsport, Alexander Hamilton-Aaron Burr duel like we all had to watch between
@Redzone and
@Omaha Vol...that was very scary, that pick em showdown 😂!

That was pretty sad, wasn't it? I did my part and made picks. He just copied mine and changed one. What a coward.
He would've ended up like Alexander Hamilton, minus $10. 🤣

I knocked the Hillbilly down with one bullet.
He fired 20. 🤠💪🤠
That Hillbilly was firing bullets everywhere!
Looks like he's still crying about it.

You didn't knock anybody down, swamp turd. Everyone on here saw first hand what you did. All you did was expose yourself as a coward.
LT vs North Shore in two weeks.
Anyone?

Give me NS by 7 (assuming they get past Dickinson)

We shall see. What's holding LT back is their offense. It's been regressing ever since the Westlake game. The defense is championship caliber. Best D in the state.

The O is why I picked NS. LT is going to run across a team at some point that plays both sides of the ball well.
:P

Dickinson might have something to say about this

Alright, game on.
LT against North Shore in Houston.
I watched some of NS vs Dickinson and without getting too detailed, I think the game comes down to wins up front. I know that's really the case in large for most games but here it's critical.
LT is not small up front like the were in 2018, '19 or '21 (the years they've played NS). LT is big and has maybe the best DL in the state with easily the best DE duo. If LT can win most battles up front, the game will be close but they'll win. If they struggle, NS might pull it off once again.
Please don't let it be Duncanville vs. North Shore again 😭
Allen vs North Shore
Duncanville vs. Lake Travis
I'll even take Allen vs. Lake Travis again 😭😭
