Merry day after Christmas y’all.

Each team had less than impressive performances in the Area round.

Man it sucks to go back to play at possibly the worse place to watch a football game. I'll take the visitor's side every time even though it would put our band in a terrible spot.

Couldn't agree more. Its a horrible venue for football! Congratulations on defeating Midland Lee!

I never thought I would say Trinity's passing game was the difference in a game..

It's happened before. About a rare an occurrence as there is in Texas HS Football.

Yeah, usually when you say "Trinity is airing it out" you're talking about the uniforms after the game.

[Stinger]

Hey Super B, is it bursting your bubble that some are picking Trinity to win??!! After last night, your storm of gloom blew in.

[OakTreeOut-n-Up]

I would have said Trinity before I watched them play last night. Martin was the last team on my mind heading into playoffs and now I think they might be the region favorite.

[Trojanbacker2]

Guessing the Allen coaches left the Trinity/Lee game last night feeling pretty good about things. Probably already working on planning for the quarterfinals.

Sadly we remember it well from 2009 with Brandon Carter..

Nah man, I don't care. I may pick them myself. You act as if I am the only one who is critical of Trinity. IDK Y U R singling me out. Even you have had some critical comments about Trinity on occasion.

I am all for putting Allen's band behind the bleachers if that happens lol. Who's the home team?

(In Norm's voice) oh please. Don't pretend to be little red Riding Hood on the way through the forest to her Grandma's house.

I haven't watched alot of Allen in recent years like I did with Kyler so I haven't got to see Booty. Is Booty a duel threat and have alot of runs?

Stating the obvious - Not Kyler - but yes he is a dual threat but not in a explosive way - in kind of a high football IQ way ( if an opening is there- he takes it ) -we are deep at RB -so it has not been needed but the threat is there - he looks like he has good leadership abilities from the stands- tough - he has taken bunch of big hits - - our backup is good as well - not much of a drop off -

This one was always going to be interesting, but after the Round 2 games for both, it is even more intriguing. While I was surprised that Trinity didn't put away Midland Lee early, it was also surprising how close SGP played Allen. On any given day...
Having slept on it, seeing 300 yards passing for a Trinity team, seeing halfback passes, other "all in" play calls, I think this ET team is more robust offensively than I thought. Defensively, some gaps showed up. Also, Midland Lee was a much better team than I realized.

I sure would like to see some Allen fans break down their team offensively and defensively. Same for ET, even though I know them a bit better. Strengths, weaknesses, key players, etc.

This is a dream matchup, covid not allowed.
