Congratulations Needville on a great season. Last Friday was an incredible game to watch. Your kids played with heart.

Good job Needville; I will be first to admit, I didn't give you guys a chance against the mighty Sealy. I even said to my close friends, "Needville will lose by thirty". I was so wrong, you guys did a great job, congratulations.

The Berry kid can play

your game with sealy is what i think of when people say gilmer is going to steamroll everyone....it might happen but needville showed teams don't just roll over and play dead because of the polls....

congrats on leaving your mark on the playoffs......

Also what Brookshire Royal did to state ranked Giddings; they took it to them. Giddings did not know what hit them.

On any given night any team can win, especailly in the playoffs.

Never underestimate your opponent!! You might find yourself watching from the stands the following week!

D26 isn't always as "weak" as we get credit for being. :)

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
