Friday at Lamar Consolidated in Rosenberg EB won the first game in district 28-24
This is in the wrong forum, but you knew that already.
East Bernard and Boling do play each other, though. They are playing in Gilmer. It looks like I won't be able to make the Gilmer game, or the Union Hill game because I'm working late Friday. I may be able to catch some of this game, though, as it's literally right down the road from me.
Game is at Lamar Consolidated in Rosenberg-Not Gilmer which wrong
Read it somewhere reputable, but they made a mistake and have since changed it. I was surprised when I read it, too.
Oh well. Guess I'll just have to wait another week to see another playoff game.
Sounds to me like somebody's been drinking that Gilmer concoction stuff too early waterboy, LOL. Y'all should be saving that stuff for Melissa for gametime this week.
Heard from both district that they are expecting big crowd of over 10,000- Even at Traylor Stadium in Roseberg. Would love to see EB win again but Bulldogs have Vernon Jackson. But EB has a stiff defense and held Jackson to 300 yards last time they played in district just three weeks ago.Will be a low scoring game though
I saw Boling against Dilley and they move Jackson around a lot but didn't really need him against the Wolves. Their FB and two other RBs, #28 and #5, I think, did the damage. They had like four 1-play scoring drives. Although, I heard that #28 was injured at area, pretty badly too. This team is different than a year ago. Last year Boling was heavily dependent on Jackson, doesn't seem to be the case this year. Dilley did move the ball passing in the flats on the Bulldogs. They had two first half possessions to the Boling 20 but turned it over on downs both times. Don't know if East Bernard throws it around or not. Just my 2 cents.
What position is Jackson gonna play at Alabama?
I heard he might lose his spot there if other potential recruits decide to go to Bama though
safety?
I think He will play Fullback at college-QB at high school
Is he fast, too? His size is like a LB/DL hybrid.
Go back and watch the game on Youtube....Gunter was big upfront. They had some small skill kids yes, but upfront they were good enough to play with an 3a-4a DII team in the State.

Alabama has added a commitment from one of the most versatile recruits in the 2018 class in Vernon Jackson.
Jackson, a 3-star athlete from Boling (Texas) High School, committed to Alabama over TCU and Texas A&M. He was silently committed to Alabama prior to his original commitment date of Aug. 26, which ended up getting postponed because of Hurricane Harvey.
What makes Jackson’s recruitment unique is that the Crimson Tide are recruiting him at linebacker, the Horned Frogs wanted him at defensive end and the Aggies were looking at him at running back.
The 6-foot-3, 240-pound prospect plays quarterback for his school and led Boling to the state playoffs last year. He rushed for over 2,000 yards and scored a combined 40 touchdowns as a junior.
“He’s special and freaky,” Boling coach Kevin Urbanek told SEC Country. “He’s 6-foot-3 and weighs over 240 pounds, but he moves like a skill kid. You watch him on film sometimes and you just ask yourself how he made that cut or how he does what he does at that size. He’s a special freak. That’s what I call him.”
Jackson told SEC Country on Thursday why he chose the Crimson Tide.
“They have a great program. I like it a lot there,” Jackson said. “I really like the coaches. They’re great people. They treat everyone good. I feel like I will fit in well there. I don’t know exactly where I’m going to play just yet, but I feel like I’d be a good player there.”
Alabama started looking like Jackson’s eventual landing spot back in July when he visited Tuscaloosa for the Champions Cookout. While some fans may moan about why the team is taking a 3-star athlete, you should know that Jackson isn’t one to attend recruiting camps and rarely talks to the media who do those rankings. Some scouting sites put a lot of emphasis on attending their camps in order to have your ranking boosted. Jackson couldn’t care less.
While in Tuscaloosa, Jackson ran a 4.7 40-yard dash in front of Nick Saban and Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt. Both coaches are impressed with Jackson’s athleticism and his freakish abilities in the weight room where he squats 600 pounds.
Jackson becomes Alabama’s 11th commitment in the 2018 class.
Your correct they did have two kids that were bigger than Jackson. One was 6'6" 300 and the other was 6' 3" 250 .I just think there is a chance he may go to another school. Alabama is a long way from home and he may get an offer that was not an option at the time he committed to Bama. You never know what is going through kids minds.
