special teams will be the difference *hint*  ;)

Are you referring to the fact that the Carthage kicker (who has kicked 40 yard FG) has a stronger leg than the Silsbee kicker (whose 35 yard FG last week hit the crossbar)?
[/quote]if i was making a reference i would have posted it.  ;) ::)

watch the Punt Returns as far as Silsbee goes, gut feeling they take a couple to the house.

Defense has to force a punt for that to happen. And when Carthage has to punt I'm sure they have a plan to stop that from happen. We all have heard that silsbee is dangerous on kickoff/punt return.

[b]Carthage people are cocky[/b]! I guess those 3 state championships will make you that way! Let's go send them back to off season Tigers! Let's play our best game of the season Tigers!
Silsbee wins this 39-34! wasn't Carthage favored the last time these teams played?

They are very cocky, but most East TX fans are.
They think there is not any team outside of East TX with speed.
On Smoaky, one fan said they were better than West Orange Stark and he did not know they were still in playoffs.

Silsbee will beat Carthage by at least 10.

Prediction:

If both teams play well: Carthage 48
                                        Silsbee  31

If Carthage plays good & Silsbee has a poor game

                                      Carthage 54
                                      Silsbee    24

If Silsbee plays good & Carthage has a poor game

                                      Carthage 34
                                      Silsbee 32

I'm sure it will be a good one and I hope everyone travels safe to Lufkin. Good luck to both teams.

I saw someone ask about the Carhage team, I gave information.  Immediately Silsbee fans started talking trash that most of them don't know!  I expect fans to support their team.  I really do.  I can tell you that I'm, as a fan, not looking past Silsbee, and you better believe that the coaches in Carthage have the team focused upon this all star no mistake team they are about to play.  Reminds me of Brownwood when Carthage played, and we know what happened then.  Different Carthage team though.  Looking forward to the game.  Hoping Carthage wins, even it is just by 1.  Good luck to all fans travelling.  I pray you all have have a safe trip to the game and back.......

That Silsbee kicker also had back spasms while kicking that 35 yard field goal.
[/quote]

Very impressive!

There has been a lot written about Silsbee's return game.  How many TDs have they scored on kick returns this season?  Other info available (e.g., # of KO & punt returns & associated yardage for each)?  Is Hamilton doing all of the damage?

Lmao, no. Y'all have basically given Carthage no credit whatsoever. Acting like we may as well not even show up. So yeah, we're gonna make our way on this message board and talk back. But don't ever think that Carthage isn't ready, or is looking past you. Coach Surratt and co will have them ready. And yeah, 3 state championships would make fans a little cocky.

They were favored when? Didn't they play in like 99 or something? Wayyyyy different. So what's your point?

I hope the Bulldogs win. And if we play to our potential, we should.

Maybe all the people of Carthage are using the same public library computer.  Who knows! I know for a fact Carthage has a great not good team this year. You guys have speed, size, and fantastic coaching. All I'm saying is, some of you think Silsbee played a weak schedule and doesn't have speed. Let it all play out on the field. Carthage has to be the favorite. You guys are state ranked in the top 10. Silsbee isnt! Carthage has a very strong passing game and top notch RB. The defense is scary good. We will see of lil OL Silsbee is up for the challenge tomorrow night!

We weren't favored to win over Brownwood when shipley was there, or against Graham when they had McCoy. We haven't always been favorites either.

Well, I myself am not a Coach, or player. So what I say or do doesn't effect the team.

And no where in that comment did I make an excuse, I said if we play like I know we can, we will win. That's not an excuse. It's a fact. But Carthage deserves to be in this round of the playoffs just as much as anyone else.

No one is doubting Carthage deserves to be here, but there sure is a lot of Carthage fans on that E TX site saying they will blow Silsbee out.
If Silsbee plays to their potential they will beat Carthage..Not opinion thats a fact!!

    • I have no issue with that however…. Rick Perry, although seemingly not really popular even with Republicans, was almost impossible to beat. The Texas conservatives just needed that tough, real conservative with an already popular voting base. Someone that has been elected to both Texas state office and federal office.  Boom! In 2010 in steps Kay Bailey Hutchison, a popular sitting US Senator and former Texas Treasurer. So she has been elected, statewide in both a state political position and nationally as a senator. A Rasmussen poll in 2009 showed Hutchison with a 40% to 38% lead over Perry. She had high profile endorsements as did Perry. Hutchison was endorsed by the likes of G H W Bush, Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, etc. If people are actually going to listen to endorsements, those are some fairly well thought of people in Texas. Primary day was between Perry, Hutchison and Debra Medina. Hutchison was beaten by Perry 51% to 30% and he got enough votes to avoid a runoff. Obviously, that has no bearing on today. It does show that just because a person is very popular and already elected to national office from Texas such as Kay Bailey Hutchison, it does not ensure a good showing in the polls against an incumbent. It will be interesting for sure. 
    • WOW what a game. just got home, I'm gonna sleep with a big smile all night. PNG QB passes were spot on tonight, lil #17 freshman receiver had huge catches at critical times in the game. # 44 had a couple of huge catches including the 'jump pass' on 4th down for a touchdown.  #4 made big plays at key times on both sides of the ball, he is a beast. #11 played his usual consistent game with big time catches and a couple of good punts and a good job of just falling on a bobbled kick reception. #27 probably had 125 yards or so rushing. The defensive backs did a good job, bending but not breaking including the interception in the end zone. I thought the TH coaches messed up not trying to score with the high power players they have when they got the fumble right before half with 45 seconds or so on the clock and 3 TO left, if they would have scored then it would have broke our backs. I know it was 90 yards to go but they could cover the field in 3 or 4 plays. This is one of the most exciting wins in PNG's long history of exciting wins. Oh yeah kudos to the fans for getting in to the game at key times and in my Opinion making a big difference. 😂
    • To the 41 individuals that picked TH…..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Round 4 here we come!
