Keep hearing how good (and dirty?) La Vega is, but Carthage has so much experience at this.  Probably be a great game, but I can see LV making some kind of major snafu late in the game, and the Dawgs capitalize to win.

Btw, don’t cancel your Texas Live based on my post.  My Bookie lives in a $750,000 home thanks to me.  😄

La Vega has a good amount of experience as well at this stage

Okay, did a little research.  Yes, La Vega was there in 2015, and beat Carthage, BUT, Carthage has been there in 2015, 16, 17, and 18.  Also, they beat La Vega in 2017.   Point is, most of the Carthage players have been there 2 or 3 years in a row.  I doubt few current La Vega players have been there.  Imo, that gives Carthage an edge in experience.  Whether it’s enough, we’ll find out Friday.  Records and common opponents are very even.   The big unknown is individual matchups.  Should be one of the best SC games..

Yes they beat them in the state semi. Carthage has never lost a state championship game

Since S.S's (a lot of s) arrival to Carthage in 2007 the Bulldogs have equal playoff losses and state titles. 6 of each.   Incredible! 

148 wins in 12 years so far (not counting this season).  Many coaches with 20+ years as head coach don't have that many.

Evidently he’s very, very, good.   What little I’ve kept up with them, a genius at halftime adjustments.  A big advantage a lot of Coaches don’t have.  I do wonder why some bigger, more affluent, school hasn’t gotten him out of Carthage.  Best guess, he just likes it there.

I wouldn't say they play dirty.........but when you line up against them you better be ready for a brawl. They are rough and tumble for sure.

He makes more then more most 6a coaches. He gets around 155k a year. He coached at LCM in the 90’s

That’d make him, “the one that got away”.  😂😂😂

if y’all had paid him 155K, he’d probably still be there, lol.

    • RWG Stem vs Liberty Magnet tips off in 5 minutes in the main gym.
    • REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.  
    • They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.
    • Brookeland is playing Frankston in Aux gym. Game started at 1pm  
    • What’s your take on brookeland?  How do they compare to those teams in the late 90s early 2000s?
