Coldspring is no slouch. They will be a tough test for WOS.

You should play the game because it is scheduled and we are just fans talking on a message board. That is my opinion which was requested by a Silsbee fan. All that being said, HJ will still get smoked Friday. I don't mean to offend, but that's how it will go down.

You just looked at the numbers and ignored everything in between... Silsbee will throw more times then WOS. Johnson will look up field and if there isn't anything open, he will tuck it and run. He is going to get some big gains that way. Notice I stated that the rest of the Silsbee running game will struggle, but Johnson will get his. And, since we're on the subject, no, HJ isn't half the team that the Silsbee team that played WOS was. If that team shows up Friday, HJ will get smoked... like it or not.

I think both defenses are quick to the ball and play pretty well against the run. I expect both offenses to struggle a bit rushing the ball. I think the difference is going to be at QB. The HJ QB is no Johnson. I think he will be the "X" factor. If he throws the ball like he did against WOS and does what he always does with his legs when things break down, I think he will be the difference. I look for silsbee to win this one something like 28-0 or 28-7. I think Silsbee will probably have around 175 yards rushing and I bet Johnson will have around 125 of that along with around 150 yards passing.

In my opinion, play calling was not an issue on Friday. Like Ump said, we threw the ball enough on 1st down to keep the defense off balance. We threw short, middle and deep routes. We just didn't run the ball very well. Our line is going to have to step it up over the next couple of weeks. As for those talking about all of the "trick" plays. That's what the spread is about, getting the ball into the hands of your play makers, however that may be. That's what we did and they made plays. To the lineman that doesn't like the rotation. Make yourself a player that has to be on the field all of the time. Don't wait for coach to let you on the field, make yourself someone he can't afford to have off of it. I promise, if you rise above the rest, he will not have a choice but to leave you in. Quit waiting to be handed something and go out and take it... If just one of you will take this mentality on the field, the rest of the line will follow suit and 85 yard rushing games will turn into 285.

I think the WOS JV has only given up 14 points all season long. The 8th grade hasn't given up any.

WOS 8th (A)- 32 HJ 8th- 6

I can't predict how Silsbee will play...

I dont think it will be. HJ JV has lost alot of people due to grades. But i think they'll find away to stay in it. HJ couchin staff has some tricks up their sleevs ??? Sooooo... Does this mean WOS COACHES SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR TRICK PLAYS!!!! LOL... Kids

You need to also include the Cleveland strength of schedule... stats can be misleading. Especially in a short season.

What's funny is that teams always bring up the, "that's the only thing they are good at" topic on the eve of a game they are more than likely about to lose. Who cares if your the state elite in table tennis... football is king in Texas and 98% of all schools in Texas aspire to be at the top, including HJ. That argument is weak at best and retarded at worst.

If HJ can throw, they may have some offensive success. They will not be able to run with any consistency on the Stangs... outside or inside.

Aren't big plays a part of the game? When did they become less important than a long drive. a touchdown is a touchdown. Big plays are definitely a part of the game. A big part when you have the speed we do. But I also understand, and share, the concern with not being able to sustain a drive. Eventually, you will meet up with a team that has the speed and discipline to eliminate the big play. It will come to a point when you need to make a play with the game on the line. You will need a good play call along with good blocking and execution. Do we have the offense, at this point, that can do that?

Redleg... don't know how you knew, but yes, the turkey legs are back to benefit Project Graduation!!!! We will be selling them tonight on BOTH sides so bring a big appetite because these things are MONSTERS!!! One leg can easily feed two or three people!

...back on topic... It appears that Cleveland is flying under the radar this year and look to be very tough.

A few points here: - I think everyone is a little unrealistic when it comes to their favorite teams. Who cares, the BC guys have a right to believe. I can't see them winning or keeping it close, but they definitely have the right to think they can. - Silsbee has been playing us tough for the last 3 years or so and I think that this is one of those games that they go into believing they are going to play well in, but not necessarily believing they will win. I do not think we had a "bad game" I think Silsbee played up to their potential. - I, too, want to know why Silsbee does not play anyone else as well as they play us. I saw Silsbee play twice this year before they played us and after watching them, would have sworn we would blow them out. Then they come in and look like a completely different team against us. If they could keep up that level of play and intensity, they could do some things.

I can almost guarantee that WOS87 can get that.

I do not know the full story, but I've been told it was disciplinary. He is not injured.

You have to have the right chemistry to run it. Vidor is more suited for the Wing-T. A team like WOS is taylor made for the spread... if run correctly. I said 15 years ago that the spread was going to change the face of football. What I can't believe is that article played NO ommage to the man who brought the Spread Offense to Texas. Art Briles was the first to run the offense at Stephenville back in the very early 90's. He took a program that was nothing more than a doormat and turned it into one of the top programs in Texas at any level. When he first started running this offense he made power houses look foolish. Programs well known for their defensive prowess like LaMarque. Some old timers don't like it, but it ain't going anywhere...

They are giving up an average of 28 points a game to teams who are a combined 9-7. I didn't say they were a bad team, but they aren't a good team either. They are so-so.

Actually, I think Huffman will finish 3rd, but they will be the Div. 1 rep and face Silsbee. Here are my predictions: Div. 1 Silsbee vs. Huffman winner: Silsbee Div. 2 WOS vs. Coldspring winner: WOS Hamshire-Fannett vs. Cleveland winner: Cleveland I agree with that.

They are 3-2 with losses to Crockett and Diboll, both of whom are so, so teams. [Hidden Content]

I understand why you are allowed down on the sidelines. I don't understand why you are talking to the players during an ongoing game. I really don't see a big deal with this either.

A Nederland expert on "what it takes" to get to a state championship... LMAO I'M KIDDING!!!!

If Burrell broke a leg, his season is over.
