I don’t mean to toot my own horn but I did vote for BVM in the poll. I did think they would win, but not quite in this fashion. Wow what a way to put on a show for your fans!
The Region 4 crown now heads to the RGV. The road to the state semifinals ran though the RGV this year. Now BVM will face a former Region 4 nemesis in Smithson Valley, a team that has ended many RGV playoff runs in the past. Buc Stadium is a good neutral ground. Ouch that it’s Miller’s home turf.

That’s an additional two hours travel for them while the Alamodome is what a 30 min drive from the Smithson Valley area while Vets has a four hour trip to SA. You got to use everything you have when you are the underdog.

Yup Alamo Stadium or the Dome would have been a great atmostphere but I can completely understand why BVM would want SV to travel more than 30 minutes for this game. lol They could play it in a corn field or a goat pen, doesn't matter. SV is going to overwhelm BVM with their special teams and defensive play. I'm happy for BVM and the RGV getting a regional title but I'm also worried that next week could get out of hand if BVM cannot get a score or 2 in the 1st half

Edinburg played in the 1999 State Semi Finals against Aldine Eisenhower. It only took 4 playoff games to reach the Semi Finals back then as a “big school” team under the old system, so 14 game season instead of 15, but still captured a regional title and lost in the semis. Now that I think about it Mission, led by Koy Detmer, also lost in Semi finals to eventual champs Aldine in 1990. Semi finals was round 4 that season. It was my junior year. We beat Mission in the regular season 50-49 then lost to them in round 2 24-14.

No lead is safe if you can’t play defense. You had a (28-7) lead & blew it in the 4th …. I don’t know if coaching was part of the problem, not executing on offense or not making 3 and outs on d ….. when you have a lead & blow it win it’s ruins your night. Many reasons why Evans & Miller always chokes in big games that cost them in the past. Great season for Miller & Congrats to BVM Evans has been the HC at Miller for many years now and every year they have made deep runs in the playoffs. After looking at this seasons results they typically score 50-60 pts per game which it great . What is not great is the number of points Miller gives up in games. I’ve heard Evans is trying to improve his defense but the points allowed shows ,he must make a more serious changes to his staff to get his defense where it needs to be. Last night after watching the game you could see the BVM defense was putting the pressure on Miller and their passing game suffered greatly. They just about made them one dimensional. If Miller wants to win the region and go further they must get much better on defense. A philosophy of simply out scoring opponents works normally in early rounds, but it just won’t work in a region championship game and beyond.

Maybe Miller just isn't as loaded with talent every year like what for some reason is always assumed. They almost lost to Victoria West both times and West got blown out by 5 other programs this season.

They almost lost to Victoria West both times and West got blown out by 5 other programs this season. They have talent . Player to player vs BVM they were more athletic. Teams like BVM, CCVM,and Calallen in the past game planned and executed better. BVM’s defense was on point last night, signs of a well coached team. Not sure what happened with Miller last night. IMO Miller relaxed. They were used too teams laying down at that point of the game. Maybe that’s the byproduct of a weak district. I’m not picking on Miller, please don’t take it that way, but they started playing a little undisciplined last night. PF call on the first BVM td drive in the fourth hurt them. There were a few other times they could have been flagged. Your best defense can’t be out scoring your opponent. I’m only going by what I’m familiar with. Look at Calallen. Good offense, GOOD defense, very well coached and disciplined. BVM played like that last night.

Miller has good athletes but I still say not as good as people assume. Being fast doesn't make you a great football player.

I also think that Miller committed some tactical errors, like onside kicking 3 times, when they had what I thought an advantage on special teams. They could have pinned BVM deep and really made the first half miscues hurt. Execution mishaps - Miller blew a hole in their collective foot by committing 2 4th quarter turnovers (and the errant punt snap). A slot-T offense with a dwindling clock does not want to have to drive the entire field to score. Those short fields really hurt Miller
