Game starts at 7.

It's turner stadium in humble tx. You can google it, it will come up.

Do it! I'd like to hear what others think about that topic.

No way to pick a game like this... It is one of those games where you will keep second guessing yourself if you do... "Navasota's offense looks unstoppable..., but what if WO-S does have that one of a kind defense that can match up with Navasota, player for player?" One of you guys made a statement that I have been thinking about since last year. About whether this game could be a defining moment in highschool football where the "worm turns" back toward the offenses and the wide open spread style or if defenses still are what matters most. I think the "worm turned" toward the offenses away from the stout defenses in the mid 90's. When Art Briles brought the spread to Texas highschool football, it revolutionized the way people played the game. Even the most traditionally strong defensive teams looked mediocre against the Spread. When Briles took a mediocre program to greatness I knew things were changing. The way he made those outstanding LaMarque defenses look was incredible. Those LaMarque defenses were impenetrable against traditional offense, but the spread made them look porous. Then, in 2000, we had one of our best defenses ever. Beating the eventual DI state champ Bay City 10-7 and dominating every offense we faced, then we faced the spread for the first time with Ennis and they made us look silly. The game was over at halftime. I think it was then that things swung toward the Spread offense. Actually, I think that now, teams are starting to figure it out and are building their defenses smaller and quicker because most coaches today know that, eventually, you are going to face spread teams. I think the pendulum began to swing back last year when a stout Wimberley defense held Argyle, a team that had just beat Gilmer, to 7 points and won the game 21-7 (or something like that), holding Argyle to way under their usual point totals and far less than they had scored during the playoffs. Hopefully, this will hold true tomorrow night.   

9 shutouts...

Oh yeah!

One of Navasota's best defensive players is their offense. Teams have moved the ball on them early, but mistakes and missed opportunities (some forced, some unforced) have put them so far behind that they have had to get out of their offense and score quickly which plays right into their defense hands. We have to make the most of our opportunities and keep it close early. The later the game gets with it close the more I like our chances.

Didn't LM have a brawl with Ozen a few years back, too?

Closer game than i expected, i surely thought Navasota would blow them out.  :o [/quote] Navasota asking turned the ball over 4 times and left points on the board.  This game wasn't as close as the score indicates. [/quote] From my perspective it was EXACTLY as close as the score indicates. If not for a phantom holding call, the score would have been 31-27 midway through the 4th.

I'm not sure exactly how many they had but I know it's well over 10. [/quote] It was more, 14, look at post #225 [/quote] Yeah saw that after I had already posted, sorry.

[quote name="Rattler99" post="1348128" timestamp="1354513220"] [quote author=the-riot07 link=topic=106949.msg1347773#msg1347773 date=1354486392] Navasota so called great D just gave up 20 points to lamarque and if not for a turnover inside the 5 yard line it would have been at least 26!!!! So y'all can be scored on, it's been proven. So please don't throw your defense in the same league as ours and we won't throw our offense in the same league as yours! I believe this will be an extremely close game the entire night and that the game will come down to special teams and turnovers! This is why I believe wos wins this game. I give us an edge in the return game and in the turnover battle. Standing by my prediction of 17-14 stangs! [/quote] No one is claiming to be in the same league as WOS when it comes to defense.  However, when comparing offenses, I will give Navasota a huge edge.  Navasota's defense is good enough to get the job done... BTW, 2 of those LM touchdowns came on Rattler turnovers. [/quote] Can't believe a Navasota fan brought this up. Navasota scored off of one LM turnover. One botched punt snap. Scored one TD on a bad punt snap recovered in the endzone. LM had a crucial TD called back on a phantom holding call downfield and were not awarded a TD at the goal line when the LM QB appeared to be across the goal line (and they got no points out of it). Now, I'm a believer that good teams find ways to win, but don't try to make it sound like LM was handed anything... Sota definitely won the "gift" category.

[quote name="Rattler99" post="1347502" timestamp="1354427252"] Truth hurts, Reality bites and will settle in a week or so for the WOS following... I will leave it at that.  All year, Navasota hasn't played anyone... Navasota only passes... Navasota, this and Navasota that..  Navasota will lose to La Marque... La Marque will whip the floor with Navasota... La Marque 36 Navasota 21....  BLAH, BLAH, BLAH..etc...  Navasota goes up 24-6 on La Marque in the 3rd and chose to RUN.  Yes, RUN.  Navasota will be, I repeat, Navasota will be the best team that the Mustangs have seen.  I am not going to predict a blowout but Navasota will win and will do so convincingly.  And, there's no need to go back and forth all week...  We will make a believer out of WOS and the rest of the Golden Triangle. [/quote] That wasn't us... I said when the playoffs started that LM was going to exit when they ran up against Nav. Your not going to win a title with an offense like that, as good as their defense was they also had a tendency to be undiscipline. You can't play like that against a team like Navasota.

LM scored 28 points against Columbia on defense in the 3rd qtr. Their offense scored 20 after the game was out of hand and the score was misleading. LM was one dimensional, WOS will not be. And it don't matter who scored what against who. This will be about how WOS and Navasota match up against one another.

Just because our offense hasn't scored 100 points a game doesn't mean they can't play. I've seen LM twice and our offense is more diverse and better than LM's. if LM offense put up 20 I look for us to do that and then some unless we build 20-0 or 21-0 lead in the 3rd then you will probably see the running game only again. It's not lack of ability, it's philosophy... It's smart football.

Leaving at 3 in an attempt to deal with the Houston traffic. Everyone PLEASE be safe traveling tonight!

I thought their offensive line was their Achilles heel????

In Brenham.

Great job tigers!! Keep it rolling!!!

[quote name="T-Dawd" post="1342223" timestamp="1353864847"] Pulling for WOS but the state championship will be played this  Friday in Shenendoah. [/quote] LM is not world beaters just because they beat your team... The championship will be the championship. And LM exits this weekend.

CCS wins 54-6. Game called with 6 min left in 3rd due to 45 point rule

40-6 CCS at the half

[/quote] Perhaps not. But this is LaMarque. They were a very accomplished 4a team. [/quote] I agree with that, but LM isn't great on offense. They would not have had the success they had against last years defense. And there were a couple of runs tonight from CS backs for 10-15 yards where Gilbert would have been gone.

LM defense is stout
