    Just about every team out of the valley looks like they'd get thrashed by a SA team per par. Sadly, the only teams that look explosive on offense and halfway decent defensively are 5A teams in RV High School and Sharyland. This is a weak year unfortunately.
    yes, they did not fare well this past week. i was a little surprised with how badly harlingen lost to reagan.

    i'm still trying to get a feel for denley. he got some touches against laredo united south but the game was such a blow-out that he didn't get a lot of looks. when he did, the calls were slants or draws and he probably averaged close to 10 yards per carry. this week will be a better sample as steele will go against o'connor and they have some pretty good linebackers.

    Tyler John Tyler is now the #1 team in the state in 5A.
    a traditional powerhouse. had a few seasons where they fell before expectations but never a surprise to see the lions do well.

    Harlingen wasn't ready. Don't know what Coach Manny was thinking having a bye week in week 0. They should've played somebody. They were really rusty...

    They lost a lot of kids for a while there and even dropped to 4A when Tyler eliminated district lines for them and Lee, allowing kids to attend whichever school they wanted to go to. They've bounced back nicely and have gotten even better since Ricklan Holmes took over in 2012.

    Love our Tyler guys. Triston Wade is probably my favorite player and the toughest, hardest hitting 160 lb safety I've ever seen.

    so tonight, if the weather holds up as in no lightning, i will be at the steel-o'connor game. this will be a litmus test for both teams and i'll get a chance to see jamontae edwards (RB for o'connor) and of course, the usual suspects for steele. should be a good one.

    Went to the OConnor Steele game. Now that I have seen Steele...

    Its possible the best player on the field was not on the field. The Junior RB from OConnor. Messed up his knee in the Alamo Heights game.

    Take notice. If he comes back healthy, take a good look. I have not seen him mentioned anywhere.

    Edit.... Except for the post right above me!

    #1 John Tyler falls to cross town rival Lee. Not surprised at all. Rankings and records have meant little in this game for years.

    yeah-it was unfortunate he was out. i'm not sure how much of a difference he would have made in that weather. that was a monsoon! mark jackson to me was the best player on the field by far. i think he wound up with three sacks but he was always in the backfield. he did have that one stupid personal foul which led to o'connor's only points but he also had that monster sack that caused a fumble. the refs blew the call on the LG william's fumble inside o'connors 5 yard line though. i was right in front of that and he was clearly down. but the rain was coming down in buckets! sloppy game on both sides but hard to throw in those conditions. the wind was brutal too. o'connor will give both brandeis and brennan all they can handle. that is a tough district. steele better cut out all those penalties or de soto will have their way with them on thursday!

    by the way, jackson has offers from baylor, oklahoma and texas tech with interest being drawn from texas and a&m. nothing beats a defensive end who can get to the QB. aggies are already getting huge rewards from myles garrett. he's just 2 and 1/2 sacks away from tying clowney's total for his frosh season.

    as for denley, scout.com still has him as the 9th rated RB in the state but i just haven't seen it this year. part of that is the very limited play calling steele has shown to date and the lack of PT he had in the first 2 games due to blowout wins and the other due to perhaps the rainy conditions of the o'connor game. credit to the panther's defense as their LBs are very capable of filling the gaps.

    tough game tonight for steele. they have to go on the road to play de soto in waco. forecast calling for rain during the game as well. while steele has a stellar defense, not sure they can hold the eagles offense down enough. cibolo scheduled this game against a division I team as a test for down the road where they would potentially have to play a team such as katy (and i would even add brennan and brandeis to that).

    i missed it. the steele game was a great one. de soto looked at first as if they were going to dominate after going up 29-12 by midway through the 2nd quarter but steele shut them out the rest of the game and got it to 29-24 with under 2 minutes. they drove it from their own 1 yard line all the way to the de soto 15 before failing to convert a 4th and 2 with :15 left on the clock. steele really should have won. they gave up a TD on a holding call, had a long INT return called back on an illegal block and committed over 100 yards in penalties. they also seemed to be in awe to start the game but once they settled in they were the better team. bryson denley had his best game of the season with over 100 yards rushing. he is damn strong for his size and can break it from time to time (he had a 35 yard TD run). steele has a WR named harris who is something special too. mark jackson was not bad and had some impact on the game but did not record a sack. de soto is loaded and had at least 4 players that will be receiving big time offers. they definitely are worthy of that #7 USA today national ranking. this bodes well for steele too since they played up to a division I school that has twice as many students as steele. based on what i saw, it should come down to steele and brennan (possibly brandeis) at the end of the year for division II in the city and steele can definitely compete with the best of the houston and/or dallas region.

    It's unreal how aggressive some of these high school teams are on defense. They are awarded that luxury out of the sheer number of athletes they out on the field. De Soto has athletes across the board on literally every position. I was watching the game last night in awe. Steele seemed awe struck to begin the game but got into it to make things interesting.

    It would refreshing to see a state champion not from the Houston/Dallas FT Worth area. Please, SA, Austin and west texas schools.

    yeah, i agree. teams like de soto and allen just have huge student populations from which to draw so many athletes and de soto has some beasts. steele has so many juniors and even quite a few sop res so i think they just got overwhelmed. but they shut de soto out from midway through the 2nd quarter on. in fact, i think de soto only had about 4 first downs the rest of the way. once they realized they could play with them steele actually dominated the game. they just made way too many mistakes (the missed extra points and penalties that erased big plays).

    lol Sharyland, perhaps the best the valley has to offer (Ed Vela will have something to say about this in the coming weeks), loses to Laredo Alexander.

    Year after year, this team is the most overrated coming out of the RGV.
