Man this is a tough one for me to be pulling for either one, both have great stories.  SOC just because being from Dallas ISD and LH because of the emotional roller coaster with their coach last year those kids are playing for him.  Hopefully it’s a great game and whoever wins it’ll be pretty cool.

Interesting matchup

I give the edge to South Oak Cliff

In football, low man wins.  Having said that, I don't think LH can keep SOC out of the end zone enough

[Mr. Thornton Melon]

I think the Panthers style of play has the best chance against SOC. I think they can at least keep the score more respectable than a team playing the spread would . Having to prepare all week for unusual style of play can sometimes break a teams rhythm . Long sustained drives by the opponent that keeps your offense on the sideline can also break rhythm. If SOCs defense trys to rely too much on their athleticism and goes over pursuing  it could really hurt them. Pulling for LH all the way though because I like underdogs and it would be cool to see the win one for their late coach . GO PANTHERS

[BADSANTA]

SOC all day 

[Eazy]

SOC will get their points.  The question is: will LH get their’s?   How will the SOC defense fair against the slot T.  I think SOC either wins by a decent margin, or this one goes to the wire.  LH has a shot. But they will have to play a great game.  

[Cougtalk]

Liberty Hill about to fall off a Cliff. That SOC team looks like a super team. If LH wins this one it would be a rather large upset in my mind. 

 

SOC beat Aledo, Lovejoy and then Lubbock Cooper in three consecutive weeks. Yes Aledo should have beat this team but would anyone think LH even had a shot if it was Aledo? I think SOC would have beat my cougars pretty badly as well, thought before last week that SOC is simply a few steps above everyone left.

Team that beat them and team that had a chance to beat them going into the last 2 minutes were both spread offenses. Not sure how much sense this makes. 

LH might be able to beat them but litterally no other slot-t team in the state has a chance. I think comments about this offense might be the chance ignores how talented that liberty hill team actually is. Its not just an offense but great blockers, and a ton of kids that look like d3 linebackers playing at 8 positions each play.  

 

[Bud Kilmer]

I'll take Crosby 

[Unwoke]

I know nothing about SOC but I do enjoy watching the Slot-T. Amazing to watch a team win the 5A State Semi Finals 42 to 14 by only throwing 1 pass. Lol! Sounds like LH is up against Goliath so I’ll be cheering on the underdog Liberty Hill! Go Panthers!

Well, Liberty Hill is the more prestigious program. SOC has never been to state before and LH has won twice.

Translation: If you don't have better athletes than them then the Slot-T gives you a better chance to limit their possessions and keep you in the game longer and decrease the final score deficit. If you have the better athletes then the spread would work better than the slot-T. Since everyone  seems to compare them to one of the teams than Neon Deon or Michael Irving puts together talent wise, then it makes it  appear as though  they can't be out athleted sOooOoo......

   The Liberty Hill smoked crosby with discipline and team execution. Do you think Liberty Hill could beat crosby using the exact same playbook as crosby ? Or even for that matter that Vidor using crosbys playbook could do the same ?

No doubt LH is a unselfish hard nosed discipline team. Very well coached. Looking forward to watching them this Saturday.

Probably not. Who knows tho. There’s definitely some football players over there

They gave him the super star treatment Safeties were going his direction all night double teamed whole time, couple times we took top off just missed by a little, we just weren't sharp.
