ECBuc08 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 All I know is that Troup is 9-1. Could anyone fill me in with more info on how they are? Good news for the Bucs is they are hitting their stride at the right time. Defense is flying to the ball and the offense is starting to click again
Guest ECBucFan Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 TOUGH draw for the Bucs in first round. The district we face had 4 teams in a virtual tie for first place before Friday, and although Tatum is likely the best, Troup (and White Oak) were right in the mix. Troup's record is 9-1: Ford 27 - 20 WinWest Rusk 40 - 0 WinQuitman 41 - 0 Win@ Arp 33 - 13 Win@ Huntington 49 - 20 WinJefferson 26 - 22 Win@ Tatum 14 - 10 WinWhite Oak 38 - 28 LossHarmony 20 - 16 Win@ Sabine 42 - 16 Win Elsewhere, Troup was described as "well disciplined, balanced, and loaded". Note Troup was the only team to beat Tatum. EC will need to play their best game of the season to compete. Go Bucs!
LoyalBobcat Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 I played against Troup in the semi-finals way back in 79. We beat them but by only one point.(22-21)all I can tell you is that they were the toughest team i ever played against, but they were not in the best shape. Thats how we beat them in my opinion, they ran outta gas in the 4th quarter!
Just an old Coach Posted November 10, 2012 Report Posted November 10, 2012 Having coached against Troup this year, they are well balanced. Their QB is a dangerous weapon and is hard to catch in the open field. #50 and #34 are their best defensive players. #34 is their best running back and probably their best all around player. Their kicker is also a weapon because he can pin you deep. All I can say is that the good thing is that EC doesn't have to come to Troup, where Dennis Alexander gets what he wants from the officials. Take it to them EC. Good Luck to the Bucs and all of my old coaching buddies down there( Coach East, Fontenot, Todd, Leday).

Guest ECBucFan Posted November 13, 2012 Report Posted November 13, 2012 Hmmm... We got a Troup coach that intimidates officials, will have his players "maul" EC's Roberts, and EC is a "5th or 6th place" team. Hmmm, getting interesting here... :o
jlc2010 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Posted November 13, 2012 SA destroyed troup in a scrimmage somthing like 6tds to 1. but that was a scrimmage i like EC in this matchup bucs by 14
