Heights-Lamar showdown on tap Saturday
College scouts will abound in Houston Saturday afternoon at 1 pm when Houston Lamar squares off against Houston Heights. The game will feature three Texas Longhorn commits (Alvonte Woodard, D’Shawn Jamison and Jalen Green) plus Texas target and 5-star DB Anthony Cook.

Jamison is Texas’ newest pledge and could provide the Longhorns with some help influencing target Cook, who plans to announce on Oct. 30.

Heights is undefeated with a 5-0 record while Lamar enters the game with one loss to then ranked Klein Collins.

 
Texas target Brown out with undisclosed injury

Arlington Lamar football coach Laban Delay said in an email Monday that star defensive lineman Bobby Brown is "not probable to play" in Friday's key District 4-6A game against district leader Mansfield. Lamar (3-3, 2-1) is in a three-way tie for second with Arlington and Arlington Martin, one game out of first.
"Bobby Brown suffered an injury several weeks ago," Delay said in his email "I can not go into details of his injury."

Brown, a four-star recruit, is ranked as the 13th-best defensive tackle in the nation in the Class of 2018 by 24/7.

Brown announced on Twitter last Wednesday that the eight colleges he is deciding between are Alabama, LSU, Florida State, Baylor, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Houston.

Brown and teammate Javonte Kemp knelt during the national anthem while the rest of their team stood before their game against Arlington Sam Houston on Sept. 29. Brown wasn't in uniform for last week's game against Arlington, and he and Kemp knelt again during the anthem before that contest.
 
5A could have home-field system

ROUND ROCK -- Home-field advantage has finally established itself within UIL athletics. Now, it's spreading like a virus.

At Sunday's legislative council, the athletic committee removed the pilot status of its home-field advantage system in 6A and extended it to 5A football. If approved by the full council on Monday, it would go into effect for the 2018 season.


 



If it passes unchanged, the rules would work the same as what is in place for 6A: In the first round of the playoffs, the team with the higher district finish will play at home.
Adding 5A is might just be the start. Schools in smaller classifications have expressed to the UIL that they'd like it extended into their classifications. 

A home first-round playoff game can be money maker. 

"Come back in June," UIL athletic director Susan Elza said. "We're going to be talking about 4A and below."

The committee also discussed adding a home-field advantage rule to the 5A and 6A baseball playoffs, but the committee opted to study it further before taking any action. 

Elza and UIL executive director Charles Breitahupt expressed concern about making rules that created two much of an advantage for one school when the playoffs is a time when, as Elza put it, "you get a fresh set of downs."

Look at the Class 4A top 10 and tell me whats missing. 

 


Celina was upset two weeks ago by Caddo Mills. I think they were ranked earlier this season but have dropped a couple.

Gilmer has had a dynasty now for years and years. There have been fewer teams in the 2000s more dominant in East Texas. I had to look at the 4A rankings a few times just because I couldn't believe they weren't there. lol

 
I don't think Gilmer is gonna have a stellar year anyways. I'm gonna be at the Yamboree this weekend in Gilmer..yep back to my hometown. Lol just so u know SHA I am residing in Longview now

My sis lives in Longview and is a die-hard Lobo. She still goes to some of the games even though her son no longer plays there.

I've been to many a Yamboree. I think it's the sole reason that today I hate yams. lol My cousin used to be the city manager in Gilmer. His son is in law enforcement there. Its a great place to live.

Celina beat Caddo Mills 34-28.  Celina has lost to Argyle and Liberty Christian of Argyle.

In regards to Gilmer, I was there last Friday night for the PG game. This was one of the best HS games that I have ever seen in person. The loss was Gilmer's first district game loss at home in 17 years.  That is an impressive stat for a HS football team.  Gilmer is still very good; however, they have lost to Carthage and Texarkana Pleasant Grove.  PG has a very physical and dominant  offensive line which translates well for a running team. In addition, they are very good on defense with some play makers.  I look for these two teams to meet again deep in the playoffs.

Ok, I knew it went down to the wire, just didn't know it was Celina who pulled it out.

I expect all three teams you mentioned to get into the playoffs. PG has always been a scrappy team. Looks like they have some real talent to go with that fighting attitude this year.

 
As some of you know, I am in the process of writing a book based on first-hand account and other accounts of the '83 Daingerfield Tigers and the simultaneous demise of Lone Star Steel. Essentially, the run to the state championship sustained an entire community through some very dark times.

Anyway, last night I interviewed the all-state offensive tackle from that team, Willie Everrett. Willie played ball at Baylor and was All-America there. He was on this year's ballot for the Texas High School Hall of Fame. I've known Willie since he was a bump on a log, so it was good to see him again and was a great interview.

I have been contacted by a movie producer. Pretty stoked about that. I hope I do it justice.
