We torched our district last year but last game of season was against Nederland and they slowed the game down played solid defense and kept it close and pulled out a pretty good victory. The next week we flipped our RB/QB and the rest as they say is history.

I believe we are the consensus pick for district winner but then again we didn't win district last year so...

their coach said pre-game they still were gonna use 2 QBs sounded like they still needed to make a decision.

nah, not sure he had one but if you find it post it please. We don't do media the same way yall do. He basically only answers like Chron questions.

Nah, not really at you Hike, more at these other fellas that pretended like this was the type of team yall regularly face and not a step up in competition. It turns out Carthage is good enough and deep enough to beat a very good 5AD2 team even with some COVID strife.

Well TBH we had problems with the exact same team...

Our Scheme is a very good run stopping scheme. I think missing your RB probably hurt a good bit but we tend to be very very good against the run (minus slot-t offenses.) We play one on one on the outside and really push teams to throw the ball. Most games last year for Crosby were sub 50 rushing against and 250+ passing against.

I do find it fascinating that Carthage fans really holding onto this "we had players missing with COVID excuse for why they WON a game. Maybe after this game those boys took a starting job because they showed a lot of heart. I think that QB won his starting job for sure. even tho he didn't "start"

TBF another poster is claiming this is false so no one really knows what to believe. Also, it could be one of those "COVID chose the starter but it was a battle in camp between two guys" situation which is likely given your lone returning starter was on the field all night. It would explain the different things being told fans.

wrong thread I think?

Nah, Carthage's defense is just really really good. We played 3 defenses similarly as good last year. Huntsville, Aledo, and Manvel. That defense was better than Texas high's last year.

No no, see you can’t say that then Carthage would have no excuse for their QB being under fire all night.

Yea not the same team yet forsure. Looking forward to our growth this year. We get Manvel next week so time to get ready.

said that in second quarter lol

Dunn and Branch were a dynamic duo last year. The team isn't there yet on offense.

A strip fumble, 2 QB sack fumbles and a Pick. at least 3 you have to give the defense the credit for because it was a play that caused the fumble not just a drop on the ground. one fumble was probably the ball carrier fault on that end around.

Which is why he was out for 2 minutes then back in then out then in. They kept working him out.

Lost to Nederland last game of season and made a title run, just one game is the mantra.

It kind of looked like he might have miss hit it a little tbf.

Was cramps he was still planting and throwing on last two balls. Get the kid some water please.

8 time state champs for a reason.

right right, ifs and butts. Wonder where our second string QB was tonight....

Nah he got drove there that Carthage kid picked him up and moved him there was every coaches dream kick return everything was great on it. Hats off.

5 all in first half.

if and butts
