Very nice run by Cuney for a TD!

Come on Dogs..Jasper down to the 5.

Last drive sounded promising.

Carthage West Sabine Port Arthur Memorial Galena Park North Shore La Porte Dayton Livingston Little Cypress-Mauriceville Nederland Vidor Baytown Lee Goose Creek Memorial Silsbee Bridge City West Orange-Stark Huffman Coldspring Newton Hardin Woodville East Chambers Deweyville Groveton Orange Community Christian Evadale

I am sure Jasper isn't looking for moral victories in this one.  They will be coming to Carthage believing they can win.  They will be the underdog in a hostile environment against a team with 3 recent State Championships...in the voice of Gimli--"What are we waiting for?"

54-14 last text I had.  I left at half-time.  What was I thinking picking against Coldspring?

I am going out on a limb and picking Huffman in this one.  Been watching these two for quite a few years now and I believe if Huffman contains the corners they win this game.  Could be a shoot out.

Thanks for the update.  Sounds like Tatum has a bright future as well.

[quote name="H-D BOBCAT 55" post="1299947" timestamp="1350172913"] John Curtis High only beat Cohen 45-0. And if you don't know who John Curtis Highschool is... wow. Winning percentage of 90%, 500 victories 49 losses and 6 ties i believe. 24 state championships. [Hidden Content] [/quote] Thought I saw where they also were #1 rank in nation too.  Now that would be a game for Jasper to get on the schedule...one second thought..nah.

Good showing by the Hornets.  Anahuac has stepped it up since the beginning of the season and Hornets hung tough with them.

[/quote] Haven't been to the chicken coop in many years.  That is fun.  I am ready when you are Jody..oh wait I have no days off until Christmas holidays.  ;)

I remember a basketball coach allowing his players to run with Kountze once.  "Coach we can do it."  After the 70 point blowout they let him do his job.  It was back to the usual 30-40 point whooping next time around.  There are reasons some teams don't beat other teams but maybe once every 15-20 years and it has very little to do with coaching.  I guarantee you that if Coldspring and Shepherd had swapped coaches at the beginning of this season the outcome still would have been a blowout.

[/quote] Is it not okay to say theres a reason for that? [b]Accepting/Ignoring that fact only compounds it.[/b] Please clarify who are the "those" that you refer to, with all due respect? I'm not being adversarial and I certainly wasn't "knocking" the athletes. sportsfan's point I think was Tarkington's athletes need more development, whose job is that? So to answer you question, yeah it's okay to say it, just not to accept it as your destiny IMO. [/quote] Give it time, 1956 is the one only year this team has made the playoffs.  I am sure that somewhere along the way Tarkington has had more than one coach that worked intensely on these skills you say they are missing.  No one is accepting this as normal.  Everyone is working hard to improve.

[quote name="TeamJag-US" post="1288049" timestamp="1349116286"] [quote author=cat001 link=topic=103834.msg1287715#msg1287715 date=1349095468] [quote author=sports fan 9 link=topic=103834.msg1287681#msg1287681 date=1349090847] Tarkington lacks the speed to compete with a good or even average 3A team. This is not a knock on the kids. Maybe the coaching staff should look into a speed and agility program. I know you cant teach speed, but you can improve it some. Size is always an issue with Tarkington, so as a coach why not try to improve the speed and strength? [/quote] Wow you should be traveling around to all the area schools pedaling your wealth of knowledge about speed and agility programs you would make a killing!! You are a clown every coach in the state has strength and agility programs as well as speed training programs Takrington is no different they have some kids with speed but you probably wouldnt know that since you have never seem them play. Go back to your cubicle and continue being just a "fan" and [b]let the professionals take care of football.[/b] [/quote] Ok so I've got a question, your apparent bitterness at someone making a suggestion ASIDE (I don't know if you've just got an axe to grind with sports fan or what), be objective. You say "Tarkington is no different they have some kids with speed". Then you say "let the professionals take care of football". There's obviously a "problem" when the score is 51-2. Which is it? Lack of talent (speed, strength, training, genetics, work ethic?) or "the program" the professionals have in place? Outside of one of those things 51-2 can only be attributed to bad luck, does T-town just have bad luck alot? Is Cleveland just that stinking good, that much better year after year? Some real competition in the district would help ALL the teams. It's alright for one team to be mostly dominate in wins, but geez 40-50 points spread is ridiculous (look at CS vs. Shep. same thing).

[quote name="HDBobcats9" post="1286393" timestamp="1348942653"] I think Windthorst takes this comfortably. Throckmorton should win the 6-man half because of experience and concept but I don't think it'll be that big of a scoring difference. Windthorst has the athletes to play 6-man, including WR/DB types. Now on the 11 man game, Windy will dominate and I don't think Throckmorton will even score. Too many aspects of the 11man game that those kids aren't familiar with. Either way, should be interesting and alot of fun!! [/quote] I don't know.  Those 6 man teams can throw the ball around.  They may some success on the 11 man side.

Sounds like a neat idea. I think each team will win their respective half.

[quote name="TROJANSWIN" post="1284476" timestamp="1348869888"] The game is in Coldspring, but the county fair is also going on this week.  If you follow the line of cars from Shepherd, most will be going to the rodeo.  The cars coming from Coldspring are going to the game.  The Shepherd people seem to know what is coming. [/quote] When was the last time Shepherd beat Coldspring?
