At halftime, China Springs up 17-13 over Carthage.  Carthage had two fumbles that has hurt them, and a missed XP.

Still third Qtr.

Carthage scored.   All tied at 20.  Starting 4th Qtr.  Good job with the 3 TO's.

Not that it matters. But Carthage never tried a field goal in OT. Got held on 4th in first ot. And fumbled in 2nd ot. CS missed fg in 2nd to take it to 3rd ot.

Were we to ever lose Jeff Mathews, Surratt would be who I would my #1 choice to go for. I love that guy!

Thanks for the correction.  I was going off post, and one just said missed FG.  Then A couple later said CS missed.  But hey, the kind of game that'll make you limp, regardless of who you support.

I was just listening on the radio. Exciting game to listen too. Though both teams had their chances to win it.

LCM made the biggest mistake by letting Surratt leave

I just watched the replay on the news and Carthage did in fact miss a field goal. It was inches short. CS then tried a FG and it was wide left. Again, not that it matters.

Carthage in title game. SMH

Never should have beat Silsbee in 1st round.

At least you can say y'all lost to the potential state champion. By a small 4 point margin.

Probably makes the loss sting a little more though!

[Mr.Green Jeans]

Yes it does, and now everyone should recognize how close coach Smith was to having his team prepared for a state run this year.  I would not overlook the Tigers next year they will definitely be in the conversation.

This is by far my favorite state team Carthage has had. After this year,  I think the Dawgs just have yalls number.  Many Carthage folk would have not been surprised if yall had won. Sure you guys noticed the lack of Carthage posters that week compared to previous years. We knew they had potential to lose the first round or go all the way.  Just depended on which team showed up. Do yall think yall could have ran the table if yall had won?

Based on how that game was played and the following match ups, I would have liked our chances.

[ctown81]

I agree. Would have been interesting to see China Springs linebackers vs your running game
