TheRealCAJ Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Next week.....Texas High is a pretty solid East Texas 5A most years. (10-1) last year. I hope Evangel can show signs of improvement. Not sure how this jamboree will be set up, but most here are 2-15 minute quarters........30 minute real game, if you will. It's finally the end of the Louisiana preseason when we jamb, so what you show in the jamb is who you are or close to it to start the season.

Frosty4024 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Maaan if the Texas guys were here right now you know you'd get the "They choke as much as Longview" speech right 😀. Scary part...they kinda do...Texas High has had some pretty decent teams in the past only to get bounced in 1st or 2nd rounds. It's crazy. Doesn't help their HC went to Arkansas High...So they're in transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealCAJ Posted August 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 If Evangel can't handle Texas High even in a Jamboree it's going to be a tough 2 or 3 weeks to start the season for the Eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasball Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Even if ECA handles Texas High in the Jamboree it want mean much for them moving forward when they play people like Allen. My guess is the best of the rest of the schedule outside Allen and depending on who else they have scheduled will not be any better than Texas High.

But I tell you what...Let's keep up with Texarkana High and see how they do for the lols. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasball Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 You actually believe that the big majority of the teams ECA has on their schedule is better than Texas High? They could beat Texas High 50-0 it want make difference vs Allen. Allen will likely beat ECA by 4 TDs...Is anyone on ECA schedule 4TDs better than them?

TheRealCAJ Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Evangel will go as far as the 6 or 7 D1s on their defense can take them....they couldn't even push 1A Southern Lab around. Granted, Southern Lab is not your normal 1A and is probably the most talented squad in Louisiana... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You basically said OUTSIDE of Allen there's nobody better than Texas high... Evangel plays Parkway in district play...Parkway (despite the constant bashing Louisiana and I give them)...Is better than Texas High, The East St Louis team I'll hold my judgement on... That's 2 teams right there... And to answer your Allen Question: Is there any team in Texas 4 TDs better than one of the TOP TEN TEAMS IN THE NATION???? But note this: I would take Almost ALL of Louisiana District 1-5A over the likes of who Texas high plays in district...Except Marshall...and I still think at this moment the top 2 can beat Marshall.

Hell - Tx High beat Marshall last year. It only takes a couple of fingers to count Tx high playoff wins over the last decade. They did beat LA 5A district 2 Team Natchitoches Central 13-0 in 2013. They have notched win over ECA before and ECA went on to win state. Personally, I believe that for the most part the teams that ECA plays from LA in the regular season are about the same as TX High. I am sure there is some exceptions. Point is beating Tx high in scrimmage is not good measuring stick for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathis wasn't coaching Marshall last season either....And iirc...wasn't their star QB injured? We agree on their playoff struggles... Natchitoches Central (Basketball Power in 5A) is District 2-5A's cupcake in football...Texas high should have beaten them by far more...But a win is a win...I won't deny them that... Yes they have wins over ECA...Which makes their early playoff exits even more baffling... Texas high isn't/shouldn't be their measuring stuck imo (It's just a scrimmage afterall...no big deal...Just getting everyone conditioned basically) The Allen game is what they will learn from...

You believe Mathis can turn Marshall around? He will create ton of excitement...Just would like to see his teams get down and dirty on defense. There is plenty of talent in Texarkana - Just wished they didn't have so many schools! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll take them a couple years....But I think they're capable of being Top Dog this year in their district. I know...not saying much...but it's a start for them.
