You were not that bad as far as doubting talking down about carthage but bout to make 14.2 look silly here are just a few quotes  from him

 

Ok. Aledo held Crosby to their lowest point total of the season. I don’t think Carthage’s defense will be as good as Aledo’s, plus I think this Crosby offense will be better than the one Aledo held to 21 last year.
 

Above was my justification in the original post I was responding to which was about Crosby being held to 14 points. It is a little misleading because I actually think Huntsville had the best defense we faced with those Bobino brothers but the point still remains in regards to how I view Aledo’s defense vs Carthage’s

You might want to YouTube the Dawg defense from last year. They return 3 D linemen, 3 linebackers, one of which is a 5 star linebacker, 2 D backs

add in number 20 and 80 that played in every game as relief players not back ups. 
The Dawg starters allowed 4 points a game. 

Expand  

I saw them, they’re impressive against 4A squads. It’s different when those d-linemen have to chase a QB that can embarrass them and those DBs have to check some of the fastest 5A players in the state. Not overly concerned about what you bring back and if the linebacker you’re talking about is Kip Lewis he’s not even close to a 5 star. 
 

Crosby dropped 62 on Texas High who had two 4 star line backers, one of which was actually almost a 5 star. Clayton Smith finished #38 overall and three spots out of 5 star designation, Lewis is #259 overall and 228 spots out of 5 star designation. 

 

Dissing on Kip Lewis, I'm not sure how, but he's certainly good enough for Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma.  He will be enrolling early there in January.  It's not like OU is a good program or ever had any good LBs....

Well all of 5a d2 is prolly hoping  crosby does nothing this year so they don't make them look even worse. A side note on the covid stuff all oline were in quarantine till Tuesday so the guys that did get the start were sitting at the house for a week prior till then so only had one day to prepare 

Anyone that cheers against Crosby to make 5AD2 look better are idiots. That's the 6A mentality syndrome.

Sloppy game overall, just happy for Carthage to come out with a victory. This was a pretty big step up in competition from the 5a teams we have played the last 4-5 years. Crosby literally played in the state title game last season. No matter what anybody says this is notch in the Carthage program’s belt. Huge win IMO. There is always the question whether or not Carthage can compete at the higher levels, I think wins like this show there is no doubt they could. When we put Marshall on the schedule this is the type of games that we’re expected. In 2018 it was a close game and Marshall went 3 rounds deep that year, but they have fell off since then and basically refused to play us this year. Their coach said it didn’t benefit them to play Carthage (aka get blown out by a 4a DII school). 

Crosby had some great looking players on both sides of the ball. Very impressed with their D-Line. They also had some athletes on offense. Stud QB, RB, and WR. Not sure why they didn’t out the ball in #20’s hands more. Should’ve committed to running the ball more. That kid is a baller. Kirkwood was also impressive on that long TD. He is FAST. 

Carthage really missed their starting center. Anybody that knows Carthage football knows the importance of our center. But in all honesty, I don’t know how much of a difference having all our starting O-Line would have made in the run game. Crosby D-Line was very good. That has to be the best D-Line we will see all year. Those kids dominated the LOS. Where I think having our starters would’ve made the biggest difference was in pass protection. Knowing assignments and picking up stunts and blitzes. Tough night for Roc. Cuff came in and played great, but I honestly still think this is a competition at the QB position even with how good Cuff played last night. We won’t see a D as good as Crosby again this season, so things will look a lot different against 4a competition. Regardless we have depth at the QB position which is a great thing to have. Very impressed with Carthage WR’s. That will be a special group later in the season. Excited to see Paddie develop. Kid is a burner. Hatten is the leader and 4 star. Wade is a playmaker.

Overall I think this was a great 1st game for both teams to see where they are. Definitely a ton of things to work on going forward for both teams. I think both these teams have success this season. Cannot remember the last time Carthage was down 17. I think you would have to go back to 2016 in the 1st game against Henderson? Not sure. Maybe 2015 against La Vega.

Anyway, good luck to Crosby going forward. Hopefully we can keep this game going. Hope your QB gets healthy and you guys make another run this year. Best of luck.

I didnt personally keep my own stats, just sharing what ive seen reported everywhere that I read about the game

Hmm, the fact we broke 100 yards rushing feels weird to. Maybe I'm just not paying attention to the 5-10 yard plays that added up over time.  

[Bansheefan]

Aledo just mad cause  they have to share the light and sometimes loose it with carthage they beat up on everyone  in there div. Being one of biggest school in it but when they play a top rank team 2 div up they loose carthage does it but they win

Haha it sneaks up for sure! Made me nervous as hell especially in the 4th when yall's RB was getting some big gains!

Don’t know why Crosby didn’t run the ball a lot more. 20 was a beast. On the best drive you guys had they fed him the ball on the drive to put Crosby up 24-20. Think Crosby coach probably out coached himself a little bit last night. Feed that man the rock!

I would agree there.  And I think they got a good blueprint going forward! Run that guy! 

And if he stays healthy and out there that QB should only get better.  Definitely potential there!

I wish we had unlimited reactions.  But I know like on Smoaky they don't want me to poo on Powerlifter every single time he posts.

That Counter play felt like an auto 7 yards.

Manvel is going to think that play is coming every time 20 touches the ball in the backfield next week.

it's the only running play we ran with him. When we do something else who knows he might just go.

I agree, and that was against a really good run D. People will have a hard time stopping that play. I think after the Manvel game Crosby goes on a run and #20 is going to be a big part of that.

So TBF i know last year we would run an option off of it if people started crashing too hard on that play. Dunn would go for 80.

I've been here longer than that. Since 2018 when we first played FBM. Just deleted past accounts.

aledo playing 6a team that struggles to have 500 record.  get some courage guys.  5a < advertised.

Weatherford is a geographical rival. So it is what it is. Also I've already addressed our non-district schedule. We played two close games these last two seasons with the 6AD2 runner up.  So yeah. Do some research

The final result did not affect me at all. I slept just fine. Carthage is a smaller, slightly less accomplished version of Aledo.

Sounds like some here are jealous of your elite coach and the massive success that brings!   

[prepballfan]

So here is my take on this game.

1 Did Carthage really have four OLINE starters out? If so then they will even be more of a steamroller this season.

2 Crosby looks to have  stout team again this year. 

3 Crosby is not the team they were last year.

4 Carthage will probably win state
