SHOW NOTES

Chris Doelle and Mike Forman preview a consequential week of Texas Gulf Coast high school football as district play reaches a critical juncture. With playoff positioning, district titles, and home-field advantage on the line, the hosts analyze key recaps from last week and break down marquee matchups across the region.

RECENT GAME REVIEWS

• Bay City vs. Sealy: Bay City impressed in their victory as QB Kimarian Wiggins effectively passed the ball, a talented sophomore class stepped up, and the defense stopped Sealy’s wishbone on 4th down while forcing three turnovers (two fumbles, one interception).
• Calallen at Port Lavaca Calhoun: Calallen took control of their district with a 29–7 defensive victory. Although Calhoun scored first on a pass over the top, Calallen’s defense shut down Calhoun’s run game and forced them to pass.
• Goliad: Fell to 2–4 after a heavy loss to Orange Grove due to inconsistent offensive execution.
• Rice Consolidated: Maintained an undefeated district record after topping Industrial, powered by a stellar performance from QB Cord Johnson.

BIGGER-PICTURE STORYLINES

• Playoff Seeding & Home-Field Advantage: Finishing in the top two spots in district is paramount, as it secures a home playoff game rather than forcing a team onto the road.
• Historic Rivalries: Deep-rooted local rivalries bring huge community stakes, highlighted by Bay City vs. El Campo meeting for the 107th consecutive year (126th or 127th overall).
• Postseason Rematches: Teams are reminded that late-season district clashes (such as Ganado vs. Shiner) often serve as precursors to playoff rematches down the road.
• Six-Man Development: Runge continues to show progress under coach Glenn Bodd in their third year of six-man football within a trimmed-down district.

UPCOMING MATCHUPS PREVIEW

Featured Games

• Ganado vs. Shiner: A major Hwy 59 showdown between state contenders (#1 vs. #4) that will likely decide the district champion. Ganado’s passing attack contrasts with Shiner’s ability to control the line of scrimmage.
• Bay City vs. El Campo: The 107th consecutive chapter of this historic rivalry. A Bay City win clears their district path, while El Campo faces a tougher back-half schedule.
• Victoria West at Fort Bend Kempner: Played at Mercer Stadium in Sugar Land. A win for West keeps them in line for a top-two district finish and a home playoff game.
• Victoria East vs. Iowa Colony: Victoria East enters on a two-game winning streak against an Iowa Colony team whose losses have come against high-caliber opponents.

District & Regional Slate

• Edna vs. Palacios: Edna’s stout defense is expected to handle Palacios by two to three touchdowns, despite Palacios playing close overtime and field-goal games recently.
• Cuero at Gonzales: Rivalry battle played at Texas Lutheran in Seguin. Cuero QB Jarvis Williams comes off an 80–90% completion game, while Gonzales may regain their injured starting QB.
• Rice Consolidated vs. Brazos: Undefeated Rice Consolidated looks to stay clean ahead of a potential district-deciding matchup with East Bernard next week.
• Industrial vs. Boling: A key district contest where a Boling victory would vault them back into playoff contention.
• Goliad vs. Sinton: Goliad (2–4) seeks offensive consistency to avoid dropping to 0–2 in district play.
• Runge vs. Chester (Thursday Six-Man): Played at Bryan Allen Academy in Bryan as Runge looks to secure the district title.

CORE PREMISE

Doelle and Forman preview a loaded Week 3 of Texas Gulf Coast high school football, from five Thursday night games to a Friday slate of marquee matchups. With roster numbers down across the region and the heat finally starting to break, they argue this is the week teams stop hiding and show what they really are.

WEEK 2 REVIEW

• Ganado beat Boling and impressed, jumping out 14-0; running back Logan Bures starred on both sides, including a strip-and-recover tackle on a would-be touchdown.
• Yoakum wore down Industrial and pulled away late in a close game.
• Tidehaven dropped to 0-2 in a narrow loss to Goliad but made a late run, a good sign for a young team.
• East Bernard blanked Edna 27-0 and look like the best team in their classification in the region.
• Victoria West pulled away from Victoria East after a closer-than-expected rivalry game.

BIGGER-PICTURE STORYLINES

• Roster numbers are down across the area: Wharton no longer fields a JV team, and Yoakum has one JV team and no freshman team; staying healthy is the key issue for small schools.
• The morning heat is easing, from low 90s to mid 80s as the season settles in.
• Week 3 is “real football”: week one and week two scores tell you little, but by week three teams know their personnel and pre-snap mistakes should be cleaned up.

WEEK 3 PREVIEW - THURSDAY

• Five Thursday night games this week, a schedule shift likely driven by an officials shortage.
• Victoria West hosts Flour Bluff; Victoria East is home Thursday and opens district Friday against Friendswood, which has outscored opponents 106-27.
• Bay City travels to Houston; Rice meets Schulenburg; Carroll looks to bounce back from two straight losses; Beeville has an open date.

WEEK 3 PREVIEW - FRIDAY

• Ganado vs East Bernard: a major cross-region test; Ganado’s coaching staff calls East Bernard the best team in their region’s classification, and Ganado’s state-championship year included a loss that may have been to the Brahmas.
• Goliad at Refugio: Goliad’s size and depth should be too much, making it “Goliad’s game to lose.”
• Lavaca River Showdown: Edna vs Industrial, just 12 miles apart; Edna has owned the series of late, including a blowout last year after an overtime game the year before.
• El Campo at Yoakum: El Campo is 2-0 but untested after beating Gonzales, which was missing its quarterback; the staff wants a real test before district.
• Shiner at Poth: Shiner’s toughest test before district play, on the road against a larger school.
• Rockport-Fulton at Calhoun: Rockport has one of its best teams in years, while Calhoun bounced back with a blowout after a close loss to Victoria West.
• Bloomington at Yorktown: with Ganado and Shiner solid near the top of a tough district, Bloomington is chasing the fourth playoff spot.
• Hallettsville at Boling: Boling is better than its 1-1 record, with a solid line both ways and good backs.
• Gregory-Portland at Calallen: first responders and military personnel night on the 25th anniversary of 9-11.

Week 1 Reviews & Analysis
• Cuero vs. Yoakum: Cuero won a hard-fought game despite committing 3–4 turnovers and missing two fourth-down attempts. Shiner-transfer Jarvis Williams shined for Cuero with an 80-yard touchdown catch on the first play and a kickoff return TD. Day Bonner added ~12 receptions and a touchdown. Yoakum showed strong promise for Region 4 contention despite an inexperienced offensive line.
• Ganado 49, Tidehaven 6: The scoreboard suggested a blowout, but Tidehaven stayed competitive until late. Ganado looked remarkably sharp, particularly on special teams. A young, physically large Tidehaven squad struggled with critical dropped passes and turnovers.
• Rockport-Fulton 28, Goliad 0: Rockport-Fulton’s wing-T/slot-T offense delivered a surprising shutout victory.
• George West 40, Refugio 0: Refugio was held under 100 offensive yards in a shocking shutout loss. Refugio played without injured starting quarterback Matthew Perez and is currently battling a severe lack of roster depth.
• Shiner vs. Industrial: Shiner dominated and "thrashed" Industrial, setting up an anticipated regular-season collision with Ganado.
• Bloomington vs. Woodsboro: Bloomington logged an impressive high-scoring win.

Week 2 Outlook & Matchups
• Cuero at La Vernia: A physical road test for Cuero's explosive offense against a strong, run-heavy La Vernia slot-T team.
• Victoria East vs. Victoria West ("Crossroads Clash" / "Battle of the Boot"): West is favored on paper, but the emotional energy of this classic local rivalry is expected to bring out the best in both healthy squads.
• Boling at Ganado: Mike Forman will cover this game live. Boling’s wing-T offense presents a highly physical matchup challenge for Ganado's defense.
• Edna at East Bernard: East Bernard enters the game reeling from a local community tragedy where a young girl was killed in an accident, yet they remain highly competitive after defeating Sweeney.
• Mexico City at Calhoun: A unique international matchup set up by Calhoun head coach Stephen Herzer via his past Cal Allen connections.
• Flatonia at Louise: A test for Louise under high-energy, strength-focused head coach Cameron Ma.

The Generals have opened the season well, sitting at 4-2 at the time of recording.
Mike and Chris mention several players and storylines:
• Case and Coley from Victoria East, headed to TCU
• Bex Zimmerman from Flatonia, coming off a strong freshman season at A&M-Victoria
• Asa Sampson, who leads the league early in home runs
• Shoemaker, who leads the league early in stolen bases
• Longtime Generals coach Michael Oros
They also talk about the Riverside Stadium experience, including between-inning entertainment, the party deck and the possibility of home runs when the wind is blowing out to left field.

State Softball Success
The Gulf Coast area had a strong showing at the state softball tournament.
Highlights include:
• Ganado winning its second straight state championship
• Shiner winning another state title and getting revenge against the team that beat them the previous year
• Santa Gertrudis Academy winning the state title from the Corpus Christi area
Mike notes that Ganado had only two seniors, meaning the team could be in position to pursue a three-peat next season. He also mentions Ganado’s recently passed bond, which includes plans for a new softball complex and football field house.

Baseball State Tournament Recap
The baseball results were not quite as successful as softball, but several area teams had outstanding seasons.
Calallen and Corpus Christi London both reached the state tournament but lost close games in the finals. Mike and Chris emphasize that even falling just short at state is still a remarkable accomplishment.
They also discuss Victoria East, which lost a tough playoff series to Lake Creek. Lake Creek went on to reach the state final, showing just how close Victoria East was to potentially making another state appearance.

7-on-7 Football Season
With school out, Mike and Chris shift to summer football and 7-on-7 qualifying tournaments.
Area teams that have already qualified for state include:
Division II
• Bay City
• Cuero
Division III
• Ganado
• Kenedy
• Rice Consolidated
• Van Vleck
They also mention Tidehaven, the defending Division III state champion, which had not yet qualified at the time of recording but was hosting an upcoming qualifying tournament.
The hosts discuss the value of 7-on-7 football. Mike says defensive backs may benefit the most because of the coverage reps. Chris points out that the rise of Texas quarterbacks, receivers and defensive backs has coincided with the growth of 7-on-7.
They agree that 7-on-7 may benefit some offensive systems more than others, but even run-heavy teams can gain value from passing-game reps and defensive preparation.

State 7-on-7 Tournament Preview
Mike says the state 7-on-7 tournament is expected to take place June 25-27 in College Station.
The hosts warn fans and players to prepare for the heat by bringing hydration, cool clothing, chairs and shade if possible.

Coaching School Preview
The episode closes with a brief preview of coaching school in July, where Mike and Chris expect to record a large amount of team-preview content, especially for football, but also for other sports.

Victoria, TX — After an esteemed 42-year career with the Victoria Advocate, legendary Texas sports journalist Mike Forman is joining Fresh Media Works, the parent company of Lone Star Gridiron and LSPN. Known across the state for his integrity, consistency, and storytelling excellence, Forman will now bring his talents to a team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of high school sports coverage in Texas.

At Fresh Media Works, Forman will take on a wide range of duties including writing, podcast hosting, video coverage, and reporting—continuing the work he’s been known for throughout his career. His role will include key contributions to both Lone Star Gridiron and LSPN, where he will be a major part of the company’s growing slate of sports podcasts and digital coverage.

"We are so pleased to add Mike to the staff," said Chris Doelle, founder of Fresh Media Works. "We have been friends for more than 20 years and nobody does it better. He will add so much to our coverage and we are honored to have him on the team."

Forman’s reputation was built over four decades of deep-rooted reporting and trusted relationships with coaches, student-athletes, and sports communities throughout Texas. His unmatched connection to the people behind the games has long made him the gold standard for high school sports coverage in the state.

A Dallas native and graduate of Hillcrest High School, Forman earned a bachelor’s degree from SMU and a master’s degree from UCLA. He started in radio at KVIC Victoria before joining the Victoria Advocate in 1982, where he spent more than four decades covering high school football, baseball, softball, track and field, and UHV baseball. He has also contributed to Lone Star Gridiron, Texas Football magazine, served on the Ford Tough Advisory Board, and was a Heisman Trophy voter from 1997 through 2024.

"I'm excited to start working more formally with Chris and Fresh Media Works," said Forman. "We have collaborated for years on many things including the Gulf Coast Huddle podcast and I look forward to expanding our coverage into other areas, sports, and mediums."

This move marks a major addition to the Fresh Media Works team as they continue to expand their sports coverage, deepen community connections, and bring powerful stories to new audiences across Texas.
