Well we need another stop!!

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1143707" timestamp="1323546403"] Marcus Price with a 90 kickoff return for a TD. His 2nd of the day. Calallen leads 28-21 in the 3rd. [/quote]Dont know why we kicked it to him, I guess we know for sure now!

Our D gotta makes stops... The O will come through!! And we are getting flagged like crazy, but they are good calls!

We are getting our butts kicked!!

4:00am & I can't sleep... Hope my boys do well tomorrow.  GO MANVEL MAVERICKS!

This gonna get ugly... Dawson Coach has laid down!

17-14 LT... Good game... Can Dawson keep scoring w/ them?

LT hasn't seen this type speed... Their D is giving up some yards... 10-7 LT

[quote name="Bronco/Cat Fan" post="1142522" timestamp="1323394427"] Manvel should take this one, but don't go in over-confident. LaMarque made the last game close in the second half! Good luck Mavs. [/quote]LaMarque made some great adjustments at halftime and made a game of that one!  Hopefully we can play better Saturday... We have the talent to win it all, but we got to take one play at a time.  Cut down on penalties, mistakes and stay focused for 4 quarters!  MAV NATION!

Let's go EAGLES... Shock the world !!!

[/quote] I sorta agree with the LT comment, but the 2 times I've seen Manvel, they made way too many mistakes to hang with LT. They've def. got the talent and depth though. Calallen's gonna get hammered in this one.... 42-13 sounds good to me as well.... maybe 42-17 [/quote]Kinda wish we would have got a shot at LT myself, but I'll take Calallen... LOL!  Honestly our kids have to play hard and not underestimate this squad.  I saw their film and they look like a very good football team.  Hopefully we can pull it out.  HOKA HEY!!!  GO MAV'S!!

[quote name="Cheermom4" post="1140855" timestamp="1323203844"] Wow I can't believe that was an unsportsman like conduct flag.  All he did was raise his hand.  It wasn't like he was taunting the other player or did some kind of stupid dance in the end zone or spike the ball.  He simply raised his hand as he was racing to the end zone. [/quote]I agree... That call was about a bad as the call against Jonathon Gray!  Kid got excited... Never won a State Championship and got over joyed w/ victory at hand.  I see nothing wrong with that play. To me he was saying "WE DID IT"!  That simple!

They will lose [/quote] Anyone that knows ANYTHING about LT is that they take no one lightly. The come prepared, they execute, and they have depth times three at all positions. As bad as I'd like to see them taken down, realistically it's just not going to happen at the hands of Dawson. Dawson makes too many mistakes on a regular basis, and their scheme is not liquid enough to adjust to what LT is going to throw at them both defensively and offensively. LT can beat most JC's and lower tier colleges. Their athletes are just that good. It's not fantasy, it's just fact, and just to be truthful, I have seen many LT games and their kids are fired up, but the are humble in victory, and play clean ball. Their coaching staff demands a lot from their players, and one of the biggest demands is discipline. They don't tolerate nonsense, or anything that distracts, deters, or deviates them from their mission. And their mission is simple, win State, PERIOD. Like it or not, it's a fact. Not saying they can't be beat, just haven't seen a high school team yet that can do it this year. Someone said that this is a very different Dawson team than they saw a few years ago, well this is a very different LT team, the best I've seen on this run of state titles. And that schedule they play in over their just ramps them up for a run every year. Tough neck of the woods..... [/quote] Well I guess that is why the games are played on the field and not on paper haha... This seems like the Pearland Trinity game last year. alot of people counted Pearland out because Trinity was bigger faster etc but I know Coach Wells has a few tricks up his sleeves that he hasn't done this year that he has been saving for this game [/quote] And Pearland/Trinty 2010 has what to do with LT? Neither of those teams are even in the same spectrim talent wise. This Dawson team is almost the same as the Dawson team that was suppose to roll over Montgomery last year in the third round, and got sent home. It was a great game, and was one with less that two minutes left on the clock. 1:43 if I remember, and we drove the ball 81 yards on the ground in 5 plays for the winning TD, leaving 41 seconds on the clock. It's also the same team that was stonewalled on the goal line with two first and goals from inside the five, and was stopped in four downs both times. So if you are going to talk about last season, at least talk about the team in question, not two totally different schools. LT by 28 points or more. [/quote]I'm pretty sure he was only speaking of the upset factor when he was speaking of Pearland/Trinity.

[quote name="TEXNIFICENT" post="1139958" timestamp="1323060610"] Coach Wells has been in a ton big time games during his career & watching Tony Heath get a ring last year, I know he's hungry to get a ring as an HC as well. Remember no one thought  Pearland could beat Trinity last year & Tony pulled it off. Coach Wells is no slouch, has access to some of the best coaching minds & biggest winners in the state. I know he can get the plan but can Dawson execute it against Lake Travis? I dunno. I wouldn't throw dirt on Dawson, Dawson has talent and in a one game scenario anything can happen. [/quote]I agree with you on that! 

[quote name="TEXNIFICENT" post="1139922" timestamp="1323056257"] LM Fan here, First of all let take my hat off to the Manvel Mavericks for the magnificent game they played on Saturday. You guys have are benefiting (as we have) from one of the best coaching performances in the area. The game could have truly gone either way but Manvel FLAT OUT GOT IT DONE. LM had more yards but Manvel had more big plays. Whatta game the kids played, & to see them congratulating each other afterwards was cool too. You can tell that the kids from each school really respect each other's talent. Also Congrats to the Dawson Eagles for their victory in 4A division I. Eric Wells cut his teeth at LM & he is guiding his team well. No doubt 24-4A maybe the toughest district in the state REGARDLESS OF CLASSIFICATION. [/quote]Thanks... 24-4A has turned out some warriors and the Cougars have some top of the line athletes.  There's tons of respect for them over here in Manvel. 

Hey... I never said I would bet against LT!  LOL... Just think there's a crack in the door for Dawson to slip through.

[quote name="KHS 89" post="1139895" timestamp="1323054383"] BTW- Songone --congratulations to the Mavericks.  Hope they can take it all this year!! Good luck!! [/quote]Thanks a bunch... I hope we can somehow pull it off!

They don't stand a chance. Lake Travis by 21+ [/quote]I think that's part of the game... Depth might have been Angleton's weakness then.  Great teams have depth.  Dawson has only loss to two teams, Manvel and La Marque... and they are some very good teams.  Dawson is a good hard nose team, with talent.  Yes, Lake Travis is the King of 4A and that's known, but Dawson can be a tough opponent.  GO EAGLES!! [/quote] I never doubted that. Yes they are a great opponent. That's why they are in the top 4 but IMO do they have enough talent to beat Lake Travis? No way. [/quote]I can see why one could say that... LT is the truth!  No doubt .  I just hope the EAGLES can pull off a stunner.  Like the Pearland Oilers did to Trinity last year.

I don't think it's possible for Lake Travis to reach the state game 5 seanos in a row. Their streak will be snapped. [/quote] If Dawson doesn't turn the ball over they can win it. They are very underrated and LT is coming into this game very big headed [/quote]This is a totally different Dawson team than LT faced couple years ago... They are ready to compete on that level now.

[quote name="panamamyers" post="1139440" timestamp="1323018586"] Angleton might be a little too far south to get much. I can imagine that Dawson and Manvel might be getting some athletes zoned to Worthing, Madison, Westbury and Willowridge. [/quote]Willowridge has some very nice athletes, but a true lack of coaching is killing them.  Hightower is getting kids from that area.
