Their families may move to the area when they are in 8th or 9th grade or they might already live in the area and transfer back from the private schools they are attending now. Two good ones! Move to Duncanville. Transfer from private schools! Skyline had several out of district players doing their runs; not just from DISD but from even from suburbia! I suspect @Texasball is semi correct; “recruited” kids will flock. The boys and girls basketball programs have been importing for years with the State Championships to match, ala limited “Open District”. Just note public school teams are not pure and do recruit. All Samples needed was a “practice field with lights” as not to be hindered by the end of Daylight Savings Time. Thumbs up to the Southern Sector!

He's gonna be special, but IMO at this point, he is still a little timid when he runs. Sometimes he tends to cower a little at the point of contact. Not a knock on him, but just needs to mature a little and let his brain catch up with his size and speed. That "lil fast kid" (Williams) runs like someone twice his size, and is hard to bring down.. Thats why he starts. Williams is one of many examples of "if he was bigger, he'd have D1 offers" on Longview's current roster. Jephaniah Lister, Ja'Vontae Writ and several others are the same way. That's why it's always silly to measure Longview's talent by number of D1 offers. They have a bunch of under the radar players that are just as good as a bunch of these high profiled recruits. Only difference is 5'5 150 vs 6'0 190. I personally could care less what size you are, talent is talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though, alot of these kids "transferring" to Duncanville are simply going home and should've been there anyway. When Dicus was there, they had branched off to various places. Went to play for McGuire at Cedar Hill, Mathis at Desoto....Dunne started getting some too. Everyone knew all of that would end once Samples got there. You mix this with post Mathis/Peterman Desoto in shambles + a McGuireless Cedar Hill...Duncanville is about to be southern DFW's "Allen" if you will. I'll be shocked if they don't win at least 5 ships the next 10 years. That said...I still have Allen beating them this year. Always thought Tisdale-Wease would win multiple ships together so, yea. AFTER this year Duncanville should own DFW for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, they will become the next big thing in DFW HS football. Question: Which side is the home side at ATT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilDog Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 @rockinl Warrior how do you think those Lobos will do and the rest of East Texas this weekend? This team was listed by Dave Campbell's as the team that beat all odds to make the State Semis and of Course the Lobos would get them. The Coach's kid is one of the Running backs. 1. Amarillo Tascosa (141) Tascosa may be the story of the year in Texas high school football as the Rebels have rebounded after graduating 38 seniors from last year’s squad that went (2-4) in district play. With so many seniors graduating and just three offensive starters returning, predictions indicated that this would be a rebuilding year. However, those predictions couldn’t have been more wrong as the young guns have stepped up in a big way. Perhaps the biggest additions to Ken Plunk’s flexbone offense have been running back King Doerue (1,321 rushing yards, 25 TD) and his son, quarterback Joseph Plunk (1,549 rushing yards, 21 TD). Doerue had just 473 rushing yards last season and Plunk was a newcomer to the varsity squad this season. The Rebels aren’t the beneficiary of an easier district compared to last year either — District 2-6A stayed the exact same in realignment. Tascosa had a fantastic year but made a big statement when they took down Arlington 35-24 in the second round of playoffs, and kept it rolling with an impressive 48-27 regional final win over another outstanding surprise team, Haltom. Longview will be the Rebels biggest challenge yet, but for now, the slipper still fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to the lucky breaks with desoto and skyline, I remember these from last year. 2017: cedar ridge DL worked over Allen and their QB went out hurt. Allen wins LT QB hurts knee goes out 1st play of game, Allen barely wins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are consistent. Too close to call. Last week SLC missed 2 FGs early that hurt their momentum. Allen is very solid. I'm concerned with their constant substitution will it wear on Dville. It was 10 - 0 at half with Midway then the erupted in the 3rd. We will know who's the number 1 team in the Dub is for sure. The Redskin all fired up. Wants to get to the Death Star early. I will arrive around halftime if HP game. Should be a Heckuva game with a bug crowd. Will feel like a State Championship game. Lil black Leprechaun is not their for magic tricks. Allen is Helluva good. Don't sell them short. They are 44 - 1 for a reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilDog Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 @Horsefly. Thoughts on the 4A battles. Those matchups are as good as 6A. Very similar you have 3 powerhouses and Decatur is like Tascosa. They came out if nowhere. We could have Carthage vs La Vega in the Ship.

DevilDog Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Wease is gonna be a headache. Mickens at SLC gave them problems. They can be had iver the top. That DL will be the factor. Allen's OLine is solid. Im cautiously optimistic. This is based off watching each a few times. They will also cause problems. Allen has a goid defense as well. I think Dville can beat them. But I think it will be close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Murray I know they are 44-1 after gambill, but they have played no one of TX relevance. Not one top 10 team other than the woodlands and LT. And they went 1-1 and would have be 0-2 if not for LT losing their OH St bound QB. And most of their games are played at home far greater % than any team I’m aware of.
