Keep hearing how good (and dirty?) La Vega is, but Carthage has so much experience at this.  Probably be a great game, but I can see LV making some kind of major snafu late in the game, and the Dawgs capitalize to win.

Btw, don’t cancel your Texas Live based on my post.  My Bookie lives in a $750,000 home thanks to me.  😄

La Vega has a good amount of experience as well at this stage

Okay, did a little research.  Yes, La Vega was there in 2015, and beat Carthage, BUT, Carthage has been there in 2015, 16, 17, and 18.  Also, they beat La Vega in 2017.   Point is, most of the Carthage players have been there 2 or 3 years in a row.  I doubt few current La Vega players have been there.  Imo, that gives Carthage an edge in experience.  Whether it’s enough, we’ll find out Friday.  Records and common opponents are very even.   The big unknown is individual matchups.  Should be one of the best SC games..

Yes they beat them in the state semi. Carthage has never lost a state championship game

Since S.S's (a lot of s) arrival to Carthage in 2007 the Bulldogs have equal playoff losses and state titles. 6 of each.   Incredible! 

148 wins in 12 years so far (not counting this season).  Many coaches with 20+ years as head coach don't have that many.

Evidently he’s very, very, good.   What little I’ve kept up with them, a genius at halftime adjustments.  A big advantage a lot of Coaches don’t have.  I do wonder why some bigger, more affluent, school hasn’t gotten him out of Carthage.  Best guess, he just likes it there.

I wouldn't say they play dirty.........but when you line up against them you better be ready for a brawl. They are rough and tumble for sure.

He makes more then more most 6a coaches. He gets around 155k a year. He coached at LCM in the 90’s

That’d make him, “the one that got away”.  😂😂😂

if y’all had paid him 155K, he’d probably still be there, lol.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
