That was a great game

I am afraid this would be how it went had Cuero or Silsbee had been the opponent. I want to think that Silsbee would have a little more success offensively but Carthage is just at another level.

From a Facebook post of a Mississippi sports reporter. Sorry but this was too good not to share. Is there any wonder why this man was so beloved? How welcoming, how kind was Mike Leach? Jeff Tyler of Wetumpka, AL contacted me to tell me a great story. It’s a story that reminds us of Coach Leach’s patience, his keen memory and his interest in others. I think you will enjoy this tale! “Three years ago, I took my 11-year-old son to a Mississippi State game. Jackson wanted to see pre-game warm-ups, so we were practically the first fans in the stadium. We took our upper level seats, and my son asked if he could walk down to the field level seats to watch warm-ups, and I let him. Well, this kid somehow managed to convince a security guard that he was supposed to be on the field. The next thing I saw was my son walking up to Coach Leach and fist bumping him. “The two started talking, and a few minutes later Coach Leach was calling over a couple of his players. Now, my son was a center on his YMCA team- Coach Leach had his centers showing my son how to snap the ball! I was in the upper deck, totally dumbfounded that an SEC coach just spent time in pre-game showing some kid he’d never met how to snap a football. My kid comes back to our upper deck seats beaming with pride- I saw it as a memory of a lifetime. “Two years later we went to another game- my son was again in the front row watching warm-ups. A graduate assistant ran over and yelled, Are you Jackson?’ and my son said, ‘Yes!’ The graduate assistant said, ‘Coach Leach wants to see you,’ and he took my son out on the field. “Coach Leach asked my son if he’d been practicing, and then made him do several snaps. Coach told him to keep working on it, gave him a football and sent him on his way. I was in the stands dumbfounded that a coach remembered my son’s name, remembered that day, and knew what spending five minutes of his time with a kid could mean.” Thanks, Jeff, for this wonderful story. I’m asking myself as I write this, “What other college football coach would do such a thing?”, and the answer is, “Pretty much none.” If anyone wonders why Mike Leach was and is so loved, they need only listen to the story of the coach and 11-year-old Jackson Tyler. Then we will all understand… In a snap.

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to breathe the same air that I do.

It looks like Carthage is far enough ahead that the Carthage kids might get to play

I'm one. I really thought the winner of Cuero/Silsbee would have defeated Wimberley and been the one taking this beating by Carthage.

Well. All it shows is teams need to do a better job of coaching there kids. That's why u gotta luv what png has done to get where they're

I agree. Out of region 3 or 4 anyways. Glen Rose was the 2nd best team in 4A-D2. Silsbee, mainly Miller, would have scored, but couldn’t have kept Carthage out of the endzone.

Congratulations... Y'all was my pick in the beginning of this season to win it all. If I was a betting man Franklin would have won me some money 🤑

Back 2 Back state Champs!!!!!.... 32 straight wins which is the longest in texas. Had we not lost to Canadian in 2020 35-34 it would have been a 3 peat but I will take the back 2 back. Congrats Brock on a great season and a great team

Yup. Heck of a run by 25.

That was one heck of a stiff arm

You’re always dragging race into something that is nowhere near racist. Pathetic!!

I don't have an issue with it...the team gets to sleep in their own beds tonight

Two legends.

Head Coach Scott Surratt resume at Carthage after todays win 16th season at Carthage 9 State Titles 206-29 record 72-7 playoff record 9-0 in state championship games

Wimberly needs a world-class Communications Program like Yates has for basketball. Kids/Families travel from other continents to be a part of top academic programs like that.

It seems like the rest of the state is playing for 2nd place as well.

I'm tuning in!

I believe that moniker was taken by Glen Rose last week.

She is to busy worrying about Trump selling trading cards, than to be bothered by the misgivings going on in biden’s WH.

And Carthage is without their best offensive player the last 2 weeks

Carthage is just that good they're making Wimberley look really bad

Wimberly completes a long pass but Carthage DB strips ball & returns it 42 yds to Wimberly 48yd line

Carthage defense is scary good.

WR #5 for Carthage is legit 57 catches, 1156 yds, 20.1 avg. & 16 TD's on the season

Wimberly DBs better get with it.

To be honest, Lumberton hired a new head football coach because the old one left. I don’t think they were trying to make improvements.

Moving up a division and still winning it all is pretty impressive! Congrats!

It's time to RIDE! Safe travels Tribe & friends!

Good luck Indians!! Y’all can do this! We believe in you! Heading to Arlington later on this morning! Can’t wait!

Congrats!!

Bout time we great close game!!! Nothing to hang your heads on Brock. Played a great game. Congrats Franklin!! If these 2 teams play 10 times I bet they split 5-5

Ran out of likes that was outstanding

That #77 for Brock has a helluva motor. Good size kid too. Very good defensive linemen. Coming out of this timeout, would be a great time for their 1st pass.

Great catch to tie it!

I know he has a Winery. I don’t know anything about cards but if he is selling cards this is America an he can sell whatever he wants to as long as it’s legal. Of course it’s documented Hunter was selling access to his Dad in China and Ukraine. It’s not even up for debate. It’s fact. Compare what I posted to what you posted. What do you think is more important? Cards or restraining the Tyranny of Big Tech? Good Grief!

I think Franklin's figured it out...the interior of that defensive line for Brock is stiff

Franklin is going to have to get more diversified on offense if they are going to score on Brock. Brock figuring out Franklin's run game.

What is my problem with Puerto Rico? How about a population that has 43% on welfare? Is that what we need? What do they bring to the table? Oh, I know, 2 more Dem Senators & 2 more Dem House Members. Surely y’all know how the Democrats love them some welfare people.

I’m sure the coach had some good input from his dad. I do think if it was anytime but a 7pm kickoff, they would have went up today.

LETS GO INDIANS! YOU. GOT. THIS!

Most likely

Christianity gets mauled in churches all the time, people are people, even in church. As the old saying goes, if you ever find the perfect church, don't join it because you'll screw it up.

#22 is Brisbane the QB. Kinda upsetting we're getting an idea of what next year's Tigers are gonna look like without Williams and Harper right now. Of course a certain freshman will be making an impact probably. He needs to hurry up and have a growth spurt though.

60 yard TD pass to the offensive guard to end the game via mercy rule. 6 man is fun 68-20 Benjamin/ Final

Was wondering the same thing. aledo’s lost about 7 games in 8 seasons, and their two losses this year are to the #1 big school private and the #1 6A school in the state. Not only CAN they beat Longview, it’s about even money that they do it IMO.

You will have more insight when LV stomps Aledo next week (provided Aledo can win this week).
