Coldspring vs Lorena

[Gasilla]

In most defenses (the 50 especially), if your interior line is doing their job, the linebackers do make the majority of tackles...

I tend to agree with you...

The 2 Linebackers from Lorens rank 1st and 4th 3-A in tackles. Combined they have 353 tackles Jakob Coker 188 and Kevin Mottley 165.

Am I the only one that thinks there is something wrong with those stats? Not that they are not great individual preformances, but where is their interior defensive line that would allow two linebackers to make this many tackles. We talk about the Coldspring Trojans 578 ranking 3rd in 3-A playoff team scoring even with their last two games added in. On the other hand we talk about Lorean leading in tackles in 3-A teams averaging over a 100 per game.

To get these kind of number a defensive team has to be on the field a long time, and the same token with an offensive team to score an average of 48.2 points a game you have to control the ball. Could this result in the difference of points scored minus points given up give Coldspring a 496+ and Lorena 106+?

I keep looking for that sure star stat that will seperate these two teams. I don't really see it being their tackle stats, much like a boxer who braggs about being hit over a 100 times a fight, soon or later the blows will catch up and he will lose 3 or 4 fights or even maybe 5.

It is what it is. It is a playoff game and each team will play their final game and I can assure you both teams  will leave it all on the field.

My comment about the interior line may have been off base. Coldspring LB also lead their team in tackles. The point I was trying to make (and did a poor job) was that when you see a high tackle count, it can only mean one thing. Your offense is not controling the game and your defense is staying on the field too much. The stats back  this theory up. Lorena defense has allowed 195 points and have lost 5 games. A high tackle count is not necessary a good tell all stat.

You are going to need to bring more than tackle stats to the table to compare the two teams.

A HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL

40-0 is a nice defensive stat.

Between the both of us, we will come up with some meaningful stats. Appreciate your help!
I will compare these and see if it gives us a clue to predicting an outcome.

Coldspring 50 Orangefield (5-5) 0
Coldspring 59 Shepherd (1-8) 0
Coldspring 67 Splendora (3-7) 0
Coldspring 61 Cleveland  (6-5) 0
Coldspring 7 Bridge City  (8-3) 0

Lorena 53 West (0-10) 0
Lorena 40 Rusk  (3-8) 0

Well that didn't help us a whole lot, did it? I still suspect Lorena as a sleeper and hold all bets off the table. No one ever knows in High School football.

What makes the 6 team shut out impressive for Coldspring is that it was the only shutout suffered by any of these teams with the exception of Orangefield and Bridge City was the other team that shut them out.
