#1 1A-I Cayuga vs #1 1A-II Slocum predictions?


Recommended Posts

This saturday the 2 #1 ranked teams in 1A divisions 1 and 2 will play in Athens at 7.  Cayuga is without Caleb Summerville and i believe they are missing a few key players due to injury.  Cayuga lost to Argyle and Navasota at the Whataburger tournament.  Slocum beat Grand Saline, Grapeland and #7 Miller Grove and lost to MP Chapel Hill at Martins Mill tournament.  These 2 teams are very familiar with each other, having played against each other 2 years ago which Cayuga won a close one (also play every summer in summer league).  I know Coop is very interested in this game, he loves these small school matchups.  I know catman has an opinion also, what do yall think, who wins?

The problem with Cayuga is that they dont start basketball until football is over......usually at the end of December.....A 1A school with 4A athletes.....they played their first game a couple days ago with no practice....Sommerville is hurt again and wont be back for a few weeks....

Cayuga always has the athletes but for some reason lose before the make it to the drum.I haven't seen Slocum this year but in the past they have always been very fundamentally sound and would not beat themselves.If Yuga has some players hurt I'll take Slocum strictly because they will be disciplined and won't beat themselves.

    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.  
    • The baseball coach has a ton of experience at high school and college level and hasn’t done anything for I think around 7 years now,it’s just something that the higher ups live with.And there has been talent come through that he hasn’t done anything with!
    • If I had to point out one team that has impressed me the most; Barbers Hill
