KJ is speed, flat out fast and when he's in the QB is pressured. He is not an every down tackle like Jenkins or Edwards. IMO, which isn't worth much. I agree, but putting him in to change the tempo every now and then can make a huge difference. I think they use him well. Well said.

No offense here either...It is hard to get real information on teams and sometimes stats are deceiving. Can't wait till Saturday.

I for one would never speak ill of Friendswoods player or any others for that matter. My perspective is always as a fan and my comments earlier in the thread were to let the fans know how they would be feeling as the game progresses. Friendswood is a thorn in Daytons side and deserves our respect not just because they beat us this year but because they are good team. That said, good isn't good enough when it comes to playing Lake Travis...

I remember going into last years Semifinal very confident as a fan. I was confident that we could keep up with Lake Travis scoring and that our defense could slow them down. Needless to say that didn't happen, speaking from a fan perspective is all most of us can do. But, from a fan perspective I just want our boys take it serious and I believe they are because of the sour taste in their mouth from last year. I look for the Broncos to play one of their best games ever on Saturday. If we come out on the short side then Tivy is just that good, but I feel like they will have to be perfect to beat us. Just my opinion.

I'm in but Catfish makes me gassy!

My bad, we will be Home.

Athletic Complex & Birkelbach Field (Behind Georgetown High School) 2275 N. Austin Avenue Georgetown, Texas 78626 [Hidden Content] Directions: Coming from I-35, take the RM 2338 (Williams Drive) exit and go east on Williams Drive. Williams Drive ends in a T intersection at Austin Avenue. Turn left onto Austin Avenue (Business I-35). The Georgetown High School Campus will be approximately one mile north on the right side of Austin Avenue. Landmarks you will pass prior to reaching the PAC include the Georgetown Recreation Center and the intersection with FM 971. VISITORS' SIDE: Just past Parkview Place Apartments on Austin Avenue, turn right into the Performing Arts Center parking lot. Continue around behind the Performing Arts Center to access the athletic complex. HOME SIDE: Continue north on Austin Avenue, past the GHS south and north campuses. Turn right on County Road 151, then take the first right to drive behind the GHS north campus to access the athletic complex.

Friendswood is a good team, no doubt. But, I assure the Friendswood faithful that by the middle of the second quarter reality will have set in. After halftime you'll will be hopeful and then it starts all over again. LT is a better team than you can imagine and it will take seeing it to believe. LT's defensive stats are deceiving and will lull you into a sense of confidence. It will be the best offense you have seen and probably the toughest defense as well. LT by 30.

LMAO Dayton kicking a field goal, dayton hasn't even attempted a field goal in the last two years, that i can remember DAYTON NEEDS ANOTHER CARRANCO!!! Dayton will NOT end up with 17, 24, 31, 38, or 45 points.... Stewart will go for it close to the goal line rather than kick a field goal. We have one on the way.

Congrats!!!

Final ???

I know Toups won't mind a little crow if Crosby does win. I hope they win, I am on Crosby's side unless of course they are playing the Broncos. ;D

The remote possibility of that happening is way to far off to even think about.

The defense will be fine, and they played a very physical game against Livingston and eventually beat them. No doubt some improvements are necessary, but we should adjust well.

I watched about 2 minutes of it, looked like JV games. Look at the lack overall interest the majority of the players have in the game. Lots of horrible tackling, I know video can be deceiving but didn't look all that fast to me.

Their offense is similar to Livingston, definitely not the spread.

Stewart breaks down the win over Livingston [Hidden Content] By MIKE GEORGE Updated: 11.17.08 The whole scenario behind getting a state championship is that in order to get there, a team has to win every game. A team can’t win them all if they don’t win the first one, which is what the Dayton Broncos did Saturday night with a thrilling 39-28 win over the Livingston Lions. “It was a good football game,†said head football coach Jerry Stewart. “When you get into the playoffs, that’s the way the games are going to be.†Livingston did something the Broncos hadn’t seen in a while by getting the opening kickoff, taking the ball down the field and scoring on their first possession within four minutes of the start of the game. After an exchange of possessions, the Broncos finally scored, but here came Livingston again right down the field to go up 14-7. “I’ve heard several assumptions and evaluations of the football game, but the biggest thing was that I thought they executed very well, so we had trouble with them, defensively,†stated Stewart. “We had two or three breakdowns, but you’ve just got to keep playing because that happens in football.†The coach then broke down the fact they knew the potency of Livingston’s offense and that it could be a problem for their defense. After all, unlike one unruly fan that kept harping at the top of his lungs bashing Dayton’s defense, this staff of coaches spend their entire Saturdays and Sundays watching film of upcoming opponents and breaking down each play. When asked if he heard this “fan†Stewart made no bones about fans like that, but rather than having a desire to say anything and give the guy any recognition, Stewart just related that he had a $10 bill in his pocket and if that fan would come get it, he’d give it to him to sit on the other side of the stadium this Friday night, because he’s not a true Bronco. “We’ve got some great fans and there’s always one yahoo,†stated Stewart. There’s an old saying that if you’re not for us, then you’re against us and that’s all that needs to be said about that.†Not wanting to spend an ounce more of time on the subject, Stewart continued to discuss the game. “We played hard,†Stewart related. “We knew that they couldn’t stop us going into the game; we just didn’t know how many times we could stop them. We had a couple of breakdowns in crucial points, but the whole thing is we won the football game and that’s what you try to do.†The coach then moved on to talk some about his offense. After all, Dayton went toe-to-toe on Livingston in rushing with 31 carries for 260 yards (8.39 per carry) to their 284 yards on 54 carries (5.26 per carry). Dayton led in first downs, 21-19, but the overwhelming difference was in the passing game where Dayton carried a 72.73 completion percentage (16-of-22) for 186 yards compared to 46 total yards by the Lions on a two-of-five passing effort. “We thought Cameron LaCour just had a fantastic game last night,†exclaimed Stewart. “We all know Cody (Green) and A.J. (Dugat) had their great games, but Cameron LaCour had seven carries for 117 yards. Now, the fans all see it when he’s running, but only those that truly know the game can understand that he also did a great job of blocking when he didn’t have the football and that’s what makes a complete football player. Then, offensively, our offense dominated and did everything they were supposed to do.†The coach broke down the defensive pitfalls that contributed to the Broncos allowing Livingston to move the ball on them the way they did. “Defensively, they’re big and we’re not a very big defensive team coming up in there,†stated the Bronco boss. “Now, we’ve got a couple of kids that have got to learn that sometimes you’ve got to get your nose bloodied and they didn’t do it against Livingston. Also, to be blunt, we’ve got to get better play out of our linebackers – our inside backers have got to play better ball. We’ve got to key and stay keyed and be tough. We also had several missed tackles and you can’t have that.†The thing about underdogs, and there’s no doubt Livingston came into the game as the underdog, but what’s dangerous about them is when they get momentum and it’s hard to turn. However, the bottom line is who at the end of the game is going on and who’s not. The coach then gave kudos to those who did do what was needed against the Lions. “It’s hard to see sometimes, but our front three on defense played very well last night,†Stewart began. “Dylan Bethea only had two busts all night and the sad thing is everybody saw those two busts, but the kid had 19 tackles. He did a really good job with having the most tackles we’ve had by a safety in a ball game. Tony Hill had an exemplary game at nose tackle. Our front T-N-T (tackle-nose-tackle) was the best unit on defense, Aaron Jenkins, Tony Hill and Xavier Edwards.†Make no mistake about it, after getting handed a 43-0 pasting by the Broncos in last year’s third-round playoff game, Livingston was all fired up from beginning to near the end of the contest. They came out and played to win. “They got hot,†Stewart began. “They’re high school kids, they got hot and were on a mission and did good, but look, we won the game. We played pretty good, too, and any yahoo who doesn’t think we did has his head in the sand or needs to get back out in the desert, walk around some more and get some water, because we won the game and they’re a good football team – co-champions of that other district.†The coach then put the wraps on the bi-district win. “I was proud of our kids and have no problems with them,†stated Stewart. “We had two or three breakdowns, but that’s high school ball. Our kids take hard coaching and get after it. They don’t make excuses and we’re not making any, either. It was a good ball game. We’re still playing, but they got the basketballs out and that’s the bottom line difference.†Dylan Bethea, as was stated, led the defense in tackles, but others were also in double digits for total tackles. Tony Hill was second with 10 solos and four assists for 14 with Jordan Baxter right behind him with seven solos and four assist for 11 tackles. Just off the double-digit pace was N.L. Hines One oddity about this game, in fact the last two games that was perplexing to the Bronco boss was that it was the second game Dayton has played where the opposing team had not one penalty. At issue was a play during Livingston’s drive after Dayton took the lead and with time running out, the Lion’s went to their passing game. On the long pass play that set up their go-ahead (at the time) touchdown was Dayton’s dilemma of trying to figure out who to cover. “We didn’t know who to cover because three linemen were downfield,†stated Stewart. “We didn’t know whether to cover those three linemen or those four receivers.†The win put the Broncos a step closer to getting a state title, but it was only a step as this coach and staff will only take things one game at a time.

run based do they run the ball as good as livingston did? I hope not, they do have some good runningbacks over there but it is hard to tell how well the would do against each other. The beauty of the playoffs.

:

Jefferson/Dugat receiving combo at U of H !!?? Might be good for the Cougars.

Crosby can win, Playoff victory is sweet and they got a taste of it.

I predict... Nevermind I ain't predicting nothing anymore. ;D

Daytons defense got punched in the mouth over and over for 3 quarters and still managed to start stopping the run late in the game. It wasn't the shutout, lockdown performance we hoped for but a victory hard fought none the less. The defense's intensity will multiply because of this game. I am proud of them for fighting hard and beating what turned out to be the toughest running game we have faced this year.
