August 28, 20214 yr San Antonio Kennedy snaps a 15 game losing streak and beats Austin Navarro, 50-0. Kennedy had just 1 win from 2017 till now. Can’t imagine how terrible Navarro must be. Looking over over boxscores, it looks like WR/QB Ty Hawkins made the varsity team as a freshman at SA Johnson. Standout baseball player too. And at Alamo Heights, freshman QB/WR Mike Terry hauled in a TD pass. He already has a couple FBS offers. Couple guys that could turn into big time prospects later.

August 28, 20214 yr AISD kids have little interest in sports. I doubt Navarro even has 35 kids on varsity.

He will be a specimen and can fly.
August 28, 20214 yr The number of superior athletes that have come thru the Desoto program in the last 15 years is truly impressive. The even more impressive part is how it only took Mathis leaving for them to get a title, so then they promptly ran Peterman out of town in order to go back to underachieving.

Not sure if Bowie is still any good but they had a nice run recently. Even Austin High didn't suck last year. Probably a mostly true generalization but there are some exceptions. Navarro's problem is not really being in AISD - it's being a small, poor high school with very little diversity.

August 28, 20214 yr @Helobious, how tall of a order is Edinburg Vela gonna be for Big Red this next week? I saw that their star receiver ran his mouth about Harlingen after they whipped McAllen Memorial. I know they are supposed to be good but is this one HHS can win with some Manny spirit and Cardinal attitude? It seems we put the hurt on Laredo United South. rgvsports.com is crap, I can’t even find a game writeup for HHS. With 955sports buried, I’m hurting for RGV news and talk.

Man, I remember when the Javelinas had some DUDES. That school was a NFL factory right up into the early 2000s. You’d watch them against other D2 teams in Texas and it was just absurd. They won 14 LSC championships between 1984 and 2004. I think a lot of their fall-off came with online and national recruiting services, nowadays there isn’t any undiscovered three star in the state playing at some small school that gets missed by OOS FBS programs. Or the RB/DB that was a shade too small but could break your ankles or run a 4.4. That used to be their bread and butter. There’s other issues at play, too, like no investment in the facilities and hiring HCs from the RGV high school ranks. But they dropped off a cliff as services like Rivals came online and never shifted to wild offensive scheming like West Texas A&M, TAMU-Commerce, or ACU.

Should be a close game, cards definitely have a real shot. Vela’s RB Rivera is a problem, and their QB Campbell is legit too. Our DL should show out, and Price is a playmaker at WR but they may need him back at corner to keep up with the Vela WRs. The team goes as Bell does though. He’s a load & easily our best RB since Tienda was here. Had a huge game yesterday, couple long TD runs. QB Lopez is pretty solid, decent scrambler too. He’s just gotta watch the picks. Biggest issue is depth, our turnout is still a little low so that may be a problem late in the game. Hopefully the game actually gets played.

August 28, 20214 yr Popular Post Since @Ricky's one-hitter has called me out for Westlake "sunshine-pumping," here is my 100% sunshine-pumping-free review of last night's 54-13 thriller w Temple. Last night, the winless Westlake Chaps traveled to Temple to face the mighty Wildcats. Temple, coming off a district crown, returned many of their best players and it showed! Temple started strong and dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage, basically having their way against the hapless Chaps. By the half, it was clear they were the superior side and their 31-3 deficit was much closer than the score would seem to indicate. The second half was entirely dominated by the Wildcats, as the Chaps were unable to sustain meaningful drives, and accidentally scored on lucky touchdown passes. Mounting a spirited comeback, the Wildcats closed the gap to 54-6. Temple finished the game in the last minute with a long TD run, as a defeated-looking Westlake had to resort to using 3rd string players. Escaping with a moral-victory 54-13 win, Westlake will have to regroup and try to salvage their season as best possible. Edited August 28, 20214 yr by TreatyOak

August 29, 20214 yr Oh, Lanier. I never remember them not being terrible. OU did get Derrick Strait from Lanier way back. I guess that's their claim to fame.

August 29, 20214 yr Weigman looks more than legit. Don’t like to think about it but this guy is good enough to make aggy a title contender.

August 30, 20214 yr So apparently ESPN got duped into airing a terrible high school football team today on national television. IMG played Bishop Sycamore. Sycamore is an online charter school no one has ever heard of that went 0-6 last year. They have 0 D1 prospects but told ESPN they had several, and I guess ESPN just took their word. IMG won 58-0 and it could’ve been a lot worse. Edited August 30, 20214 yr by Lonestar88

August 30, 20214 yr I was surprised to see Del Valle lose to McNeil. Del Valle keeps getting talented transfers and I don't think McNeil won a game last year.

Tough way for him to implement new systems last year with very little practice time. McNeil’s got some speed, just lacking in the trenches. Del Valle also not great up front.

August 30, 20214 yr LOL so many people bitched about DCTF app they went back to their old platform. I hope my “Fix this shit Rich” review played some small part.
