TROJANSWIN

21 to 14 end of 1st quarter

[quote name="truth_hurts" post="1304265" timestamp="1350657583"] These two teams respect each other.  I am hoping for a competitive game like it has been the last two years.  Good luck to both teams, and hopefully a lot of people will be there to make it a playoff atmosphere. [/quote] Leaving now.  See you at 7:30 Good luck to both teams. Trojans rumble.

Coldspring would be completely silent. When we went to state two years ago, everyone left town to go watch the game.  I had a couple of friends who had to miss the game for work, and they sent pictures of town for the entire afternoon of the state game.  It was completely empty.  If we make it back through the playoffs this year, there will be no one around.

Good luck to Huffman tomorrow.  Praying for a good clean injury free game for both teams.  I am jealous of ya'lls stadium though.  It is very nice, and the chic-fil-a in the concession stand is great.

[quote name="texaggies07" post="1303989" timestamp="1350613727"] Not much being said by the Huffman folks.  I'm kinda disappointed.  They usually have a lot to say.  Well good luck to both teams tomorrow.  I think the Trojans will show some folks how good we really are.  That schedule to start the season was very difficult and it has helped us thus far. [/quote] Problem is that it looks like we will have to go back through those pre-season teams in the playoffs.  We should get 3rd place out of 21-3A for BiDistrict, but then I think it is LaMarque in round 2, and Navasota in round 3, followed by WOS in Week 4.  Should we get through that maze, semi finals and championship should seem easy.

Cleveland wins by at least 20, or Liberty pulls out a close one.

Cleveland by 20

Made the trip this summer. Been trying to talk my wife into moving there ever since. If you are bringing home fish, get them frozen and packed and bring them on the plane as baggage.  Much cheaper than trying to ship them back.  It is $40 or $50 for a checked bag (up to 50 pounds) on most airlines, and $8.00 a pound to ship it back. 

[quote name="Touchdown22" post="1299941" timestamp="1350172044"] I predicted shepherd by 21 but wow. I also predict they will beat Liberty by 7, Splendora by 14, and upset Cleveland by 6. Everyone is going to underestimate Shepherd's QB Everitt's running abiity. [/quote] This was a pretty impressive win by Shepherd, and I think they are getting better, but don't get carried away with them making the playoffs just yet.  They might compete with liberty and splendora this year, and may pull off 1 or 2 wins with these teams.  Beating Cleveland may not happen yet this year.  Good to see the other half of San Jacinto County getting better, and looking forward to an all San Jacinto county playoff game in the future. 

CS 29 Huffman 14. Pass defense has definitely improved since Navasota.  Starting safety is back and at full speed.  It will be interesting to see how much we have adjusted and how we handle Huffman.  If Huffman puts up big numbers, even if we win, it means bad things if we see Navasota again.

[quote name="meltonk1" post="1300472" timestamp="1350239944"] It appears that part of the problem is a lack of coaches in the football program.  They really don't have middle school coaches, the varsity coaches all grades.  Long, long hours for these few men that are doing this and still teaching classes.  I see it every week. Question, how many coaches do other schools Liberty's size have? [/quote] Coldspring has 9 high school football coaches that work with Freshman, JV, and Varsity.  We have 4 Jr. High coaches that work with the 7th and 8th grade.  Then, they help scout for high school.  All of the coaches except Barbay who is considered an administrator as Athletic Director teach classes all day along with coaching. 

[quote name="Indians08" post="1298394" timestamp="1350092235"] Ref's suck!!!! And anyone who wants to say other wise message me and I'll show u the video! [/quote] Are they in Huffman? They were horrible last year when we played them there. Don't book a game at LCM. They are worse.

48 - 0 at halftime

[/quote] Don't think so scooter!  Huffman, Coldspring, Cleveland!  Only 3 teams go.  No room for Liberty. [/quote] Your opinion is the gospel. [/quote] Nope, but let me know how it turns out at the end of the season. Cleveland has a good team this year. Coldspring has a good team this year. Huffman has a good team this year. Liberty does not have a good team this year. My opinion, the 3 good teams go to playoffs.  They not so good team doesn't.  Is that easier for you to understand?

Dang radio! Heard on the Radio that PNG won.  Livingston station had the score backwards.  I was wondering what had happended to the LCM we played a couple weeks ago to get beat that bad by PNG.

[quote name="indian15/16" post="1288817" timestamp="1349194782"] [quote author=kneebraceace link=topic=104003.msg1288543#msg1288543 date=1349149002] If Tarkington thinks last week was bad! Gonna be worse! [/quote]I'm afraid that will be the case. The main reason being that Coach Maple, last week, called off the dogs and played his reserves late in the 3rd and all the 4th qtr. This is a discipline that tends to escape Barbay. [/quote] Honestly Barbay is pretty good about calling off the dogs.  The only touchdown that Coldspring scored after half time on Shepherd was an accident.  It was a busted play and the running back reversed his field and went across the entire field to score from mid field.  Most of Coldspring's blow-outs from the past two years were done at half time.  I know it is bad to run up the score, but you also have to let your starters get some reps and conditioning in games.  Last week we would have had to pull the starters after 5 minutes to keep from running up the score.  That is not realistic. However, I feel sorry for Splendora this year.  They pulled some crazy stuff during baseball season last year in Coldspring and I think they have a blow-out coming to them.

Cleveland should be able to handle Splendora easily. At least 30 points.

[quote name="89falcon" post="1288395" timestamp="1349138367"] his should not even be a thread. It is no longer fun piling on top of Liberty fans. Except for Hook'em 2013 who is is really just a poser Liberty fan. [/quote] ;D ;D

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1288368" timestamp="1349136399"] Are we talking about passing QB's? Cuz if we aren't if we are just talking QB's then i have to throw Montana Quirante in the pot. [/quote] Coldspring's QB Scott would also have to be in if we aren't simply talking passing yardage.  31 Wins 5 Losses as a starter. Finals in '10 semifinals in '11.  He has an excellent arm, and great speed and quickness.  Coldspring is mostly a running team, but he is a big part of their success.  He doesn't have super numbers anywhere except the stat that counts - WINS.

Huffman wins big. I figure 35 point spread.

Unfortunately, this will be similar to the CS vs. Shepherd game from last week.  I have a lot of friends in Tarkington, so I hate to see them get blown out, but seems like it is going to happen. I figure Coldspring by at least 40. 

Since we have some of the best minds in High School Football on this board, maybe ya'll can enlighten me. If you stand no chance against an opponent.  You know going in that you are going to get spanked.  You start the game by letting the other team take the kickoff, and in 2 plays they have scored. Why not throw in some trick plays?  Throw the ball deep down the field and pray?  On-side kick on the opening kick-off?  Fake a punt?  Try something different? I don't understand why most coaches continue to try to run their regular offense and keep going 3 and out.  Our district seems stuck in this rut of insanity.  Doing the same thing over and over and expecting it to change.

LCM at home? LCM wins

I'm picking Nederland in this one. If nothing else, maybe it will be like all my other predictions and help Livingston pull off a win.
