Bobby Burton Posted August 23 Posted August 23 I know some folks can be intimidated by the longer threads, but Dia Bell led a 31-point comeback win for his team last night. Quite the performance. 33 3 Quote

Manning operated behind a line that was less than adequate. It looks like we have another that's a playmaker under duress. Gruntled. 10 Quote

Love to see HS QBs get pressure and see how they handle it. Love this note. 7 Quote

He had a ton of rushing yards off scrambles as well. 2 fumbles in the first half. The field was soaked from an hour long delay due to thunderstorms and Heritage was sloppy in the first half 1 Quote
Bobby_Batronic Posted August 23 Posted August 23 That Heritage OL was basically a turnstile. Felt bad for the St. Jo punter who rushed his kick after a bad snap resulting in the own block and winning field position for Bell’s team. Quote
TexasHorn Posted August 23 Posted August 23 The number of penalties on his team, especially pre-snap, was infuriating. I kept getting pissed at the refs, and then they'd show the replay, and sure enough, penalty after penalty was justified. Bell was also getting immediate pressure as soon as the ball snapped. I think it just took them a while to settle into a rhythm and let the defensive line tire a little bit. Quote

Jc Dobbs Posted August 24 Posted August 24 I don't watch much high school football... only the Texas state championships in December. I gave up on Dia Bell's team and checked out at halftime. Saw the thread today... WOW! I had believed Bell was impressive based on past highlights and his OTF interview. Now I suppose he's off the charts. As mentioned, since I don't watch high school games, a performance like Bell's reminds me how impressive the Longhorns coaches are in scouting and evaluating recruits. Congratulations to Dia Bell on the victory! And Hook 'Em, Dia! Quote

Me too. Hook 'Em! 1 1 Quote
