ATWILDCAT

Oh yeah, Crosby is going to be a tough team to beat. QB is solid and can scramble, but need to work on that run game. That will come in time. I was worried about our run game after losing BJ Foster and Tamerik Williams, but those 3 or 4 rbs that Angleton have are all tough runners with good speed. I think we’ll be ok there. As far as injuries, I didn’t see anyone get hurt last night for both teams other than our TE #11 take a wicked shot going up for a catch down the middle and getting hit in mid air. He held on to the ball but came back to the sideline afterward. Looked like maybe he got the wind knocked out because the trainer really wasn’t working on anything on him so maybe that’s all it was. Well I hope so because he’s our QB’s favorite receiver. Anyway good luck to Crosby. To bad we won’t meet again because I think you all are in division 2.

Crosby has some talented kids on their team. QB has a lot of potential, but their offense had trouble moving the ball consistantly. Angletons defense looked really good. Crosby’s two scores were from quick screens that caught Angleton on blitzes. Crosby’s defense had trouble stopping Angletons offense. They consistently moved the ball on long drives both on the ground and through the air. All in all, good first scrimmage for both teams predicted to be ranked teams during the season.

You're joking right? They just made it to the state semifinals last year and have made the playoffs every year since 2008, getting 4 rounds deep 4 times. I don't think winning was a problem with Coach Roark at Angleton.

Don't know it this has been posted yet, but this is crazy. First Allen ISD with a 60 million dollar stadium and now this. [Hidden Content]

Lamar Consolidated 6. Freeport Brazosport 7. Bay City [/quote] George Ranch at #2, wow. Might be an interesting district to follow. [/quote]Its still amazing to me how hard Bay City has fallen off the map. [/quote] Yes, BC has really fallen hard and it doesn't look like they will be any good for a long while. Angleton's freshman team beat them 47-7 this past season. It was 47-0 after the 3rd and had a running clock in the 4th with Angleton's B  and C team players playing. It's crazy. As far as the district predictions, I'm really surprised at Angleton with the #1 spot. George Ranch is going to be a load and they have the potential to be another Pearland Dawson. My honest opinion would be GR at the 1 spot with Angleton and Foster battling for 2nd and Lamar and Terry for the remaining spots. It's going to be a tough start for Angleton with all their youth playing, but should pick up steam in district play.

I know this a SE Texas forum, but could somebody please post the prediction for 23-4A? Just curious to see where Angleton is predicted on a supposedly down year for them coming up. Thanks.

Just read that the Katy-Steele and DeSoto-Allen semifinal games will be aired on Fox Sports Southwest this Saturday. The Katy/Steele game is at 2 and DeSoto/Allen at 6. Just a little heads up.

[/quote] I heard him, he wasnt very loud until both crowds were somewhat calmed down lol [/quote] how did you like the rolling drum?  that thing was loud.  lol [/quote] man i heard all types of sounds coming from the EC side, that was insane. [/quote] found all kind of ways to make noise.  proud of the way my hometown supported those boys.  wish all kids got that kind of support.  heard very little negative. [/quote] I sat with some EC fans when they played in Angleton a couple of years ago and they were one of the most respectful people I have talked to. The whole game they commented on how impressed they were with our team and I hardly ever heard any negativity for the kids, coaches of even the refs during the game. I thought I was in the twilight zone.  ;D But they did make as much noise as they could during the game.

I told you all about El Campo.  ;) Always gave us (Angleton) fits. Those kids play hard and never quit. They played in 23-4A for many years and were always one of the top teams in the district. Plus they are well coached in Coach Gillis and have great fan support. Good to see EC make this deep run to the finals. 

Yes, do not, I repeat do not underestimate El Campo. They are a very solid and physical program, led by a very good coach in Gillis. They were always in the playoffs when they played in 23-4A and yes, they gave Manvel fits in their bi-district game last year. Lost 35-21, but really should have been 28-21. Last score by Manvel was a pick 6 on the last play of the game and most of that team returned for this season. Carthage may win, but it won't be easy. El Campo has a couple of D1 linemen on their team and are very strong on both lines.

[quote name="baddog" post="1348473" timestamp="1354571743"] Is that a yes? About Georgetown.....is their offense like one that you have not played before? Are they always in a 5 receiver set or do they run the ball too? We're you able to pressure their QB? [/quote] Yes, they are mostly in 4 and 5 WR sets. Their QB is very good. Can make all the throws and will tuck it and run when pressured. Has good size also (6'3, 185). We couldn't hardly get any pressure on him, but for some reason, we stayed in a 3 man front all day. Our best DL Deon Brown had trouble getting to him, but did get a hard shot on him and caused him to throw a pick. The key is to pressure him, but their OL is big and very strong. If any defense can put pressure in him, it would be the Nederland Dline. They can match up size and strength wise with GTown. They just need to stay in the lanes, work upfield and disrupt the QB's view downfield. They have good WR's, but their best playmaker is #2. He is small, but very quick. If Nederland's defense can get a few stops, then I think they can score just enough to get the win. But it won't be easy. GTown doesn't have the raw talent like Dawson offensively, but they play as a unit and they don't make too many mistakes. I'll be rooting for the Dogs this week.

Yes, turnovers killed us today. 2 fumbles and a pick gave GTown a short field and you just can't do that against a quality team. We had 1 pick six and another deep in our own territory, so the offense scored 35 points on long drives against the Eagle defense. Just wasn't enough. Angleton RB Josh West had a great game today. Broke numerous tackles and had lots of big plays today. Proud of the Cats though. Another great year and hoping to keep it going next season. We will lose both of our talented RB's  :'( and a solid QB in Austin, but I'm excited about our QB next season. TJ Josey should take over under center and is a bigger (6'3, 185 4.6) and faster kid with a solid arm. Sorry Nederland fans that we couldn't give you your rematch, but the kids tried their best. Good luck to the Bulldogs next week.

Comparing common opponents doesn't really work for me. It's all about matchups. It's like saying since we beat Foster 57-21 and Dawson only beat them 28-14 in bidistrict, we should beat Dawson by about 3 TD's if we played them. It doesn't work that way. It's the matchups and playing mistake free football.

I'm not getting into a trash talking contest with Eagle. I'll only say I hope the Cats bring their A game and give Georgetown a heck of a game. They aren't 12-0 for nothing. I'm sure they have a quality program over there. Hope we give them some difficult matchup problems and pull out the win.

[quote name="Eagle_Fight_Never_Dies" post="1342922" timestamp="1353965792"] I just can't respect an opponent that has to lift their mascot from Kansas State. They couldn't even pick one from the great state of Texas. Eagles win in a route, 35-6. [/quote] OK. Well what about Georgetown getting their design from the Green Bay Packers? Or the Georgia Bulldogs? Who cares??? What Texas university has Wildcats as their mascot? I guess it just seemed natural to pick Kansas state. Both purple, silver and white and both Wildcats.  8)
