Coldspring vs. Wimberley Semi Final Predictions?

[T-Dawd]

Aw man! Now CS will only win by 14!

Smith is the best HS RB I've ever seen, and I'm not young. Even rusty, he adds a lot into the equation.

He's either an all time great or someone hasn't seen alot of top level high school running backs...I'm leaning towards the latter...Not saying he's not a difference maker but the best you've ever seen?  That's saying alot.....

I am talking about in person, at a HS game.  I would bet he might be used more on defense in this game though, because of his speed and size. He is a big kid.

hey, give him the benefit of the doubt.  We will know after Friday night.  Probably not the "best ever" but Coldspring's Gilbert is something to behold.  It will be very interesting to see who can outrun whom.  I saw the Coldspring speed Friday with my own eyes.  If Wimberly has that kind of speed also (or better) then this is going to be one exciting game Friday night!  Get the track scouts to the game!

Ford from Kirbyville also supposedly has a offer from A&M....I'm sure he's a good back but Coldsprings backs don't take a backseat to any back in 3A in terms of production and impact on a game...

My vote goes to Coldspring!!! They are hungry..never made it this far in the playoffs and deserve a shot at the state title. GO Coldspring!! The whole 22-3A district is rooting for you!

that sounds right.

[Chs96]

Actually it was '92. I was a freshman !!  But irregardless tomorrow night we all will see. Wimberley is no doubt a good team. They are in the final four. But I don't think they will be about to stop the Trojans running game. Plus to be honest I don't think have have faced a defense like CS either.  CS is on fire and hopefully they will have another lights out game. Waco here we come. Not too bad for a team that wasn't even suppose to be here. Lol

That wasn't what I was saying; I never said anything about him being better than the Coldspring backs. I believe Coldspring has a stable of good runners. I’m just saying ya'll were doubting the ability of the kid and apparently he is a good enough running back to gain the attention of some of the top college programs in the nation. At 6’1” 215lbs and with above average speed and agility (so they say) you can’t fault the schools for wanting him. His talent should improve Wimberley’s chances of winning the game against Coldspring. Although I still think Coldspring takes it, a team that has got to the semi finals of the play-offs without their star player and now the said star come back healthy? That COULD spell trouble for Coldspring.

There's a video about Coldspring's trip to the finals in 92 on Youtube.  :D
