What do you mean they were never in the game. The score was almost 21-14 in the 4th. I'm glad the defense stepped up. So basically you're saying that carthage just didn't make any mistakes that would have won bigger. Well that's obvious but reality is, our offense makes a lot of mistakes.

I'm not worried a out our defense giving up points. I'm worried about our offense doing it. Either by turnovers or an extremely short field. I know we're just 3 games in and it will more than likely get better but I can only judge what I see now.

Our (Carthage) defense is the truth, but our offense hands the ball over a ton and our defense can't bail us out everytime. If that pick 6 doesn't happen and Gilmer scored it would have been 21-14 and would have prob came down to the end. Until we get a running game, making it to state isn't a guarantee.

I give them a pass against Crosby due to covid and another due to that big dlinw from Cornerstone. If we don't do well with the ground game against Gilmer, then I'll panic. As for Silsbee fans, i personally assumed yall state is always the expectation unless your team prove otherwise. That's no click bait, but just an assumption. Wonder if yall would have won it all the year they had the Dawgs against the ropes.

Covid played a HUGE part in that

Don't know what they returned but they were overrated during the playoffs last year.

Very impressive. Guess we'll find out more this week.

Do you believe 2016 was the greatest team in 4a of that decade?

I just responded to a poster who said they shouldn't play bc they would lose. That's all

A poster just said they care if they lose a preseason game. You should care but it's not as important as working on things.

Honestly Carthage has started off 1-3 and won state. If we lose our win streak, it's not that big of a deal to most dawg fans. Undefeated preseasons never got an award. . I have the If you are a state cintender, your goal should be to win state of course you try to win every game but if you have weak points you need to work on you do that. Not trying to be funny at all, but elite teams have different mindsets. Surprised WOS doesn't have that mindset.

Who cares who wins in the preseason? It's all about the work to prepare for district and the post season.

I honestly came here to get the x's and o's for this game and I saw one of your fans post about Carthage. Had zero plans of even posting. Good luck this week.

I made this argument with a friend of mine on Saturday night. I think Carthage has the most disciplined defense in the state. I think Crosby will avg 30 a game for the rest of the season and this is why. Like I said, i feel Carthage has the most disciplined defense in the state, but EVERYTIME time Carthage, missed an assignment, it was a big play by Crosby or a TD. I think the offense is good enough to score on any team from anywhere one the field. The defense seems suspect me. Hey I could be wrong.

I'll give you that and we don't get as many move ins as people think. Although we have big football numbers, we could never realistically compete in 5a D1 for a title. Numbers don't mean they're all talented. We definitely lack depth to play any of the 5A D1 schools and up.

I hope Crosby does VERY well. Talk about a special team's td to win, heck I thought we would lose bc we were undermanned. Yall lost to an average offense. 17 points to show for 5 turnovers, 2 classification difference and you talk about how we needed a kick return to win? Lol we shouldnt have won.

You can play both

If I'm not mistaken. All 17 offensive points was in a short field. 5 turnovers, 17 points. Don't talk about if so and so is healthy. 2nd online and 3rd running back. If we had our first offense, yall may not have scored.

Once again, JV line and 3rd string Rb. Like I said in another post. Their fans should be worried.

What they beat state finalist teams 2 classifications up?

Did you miss 4 olinemen out?

Well answer this. What coach keeps an injured qb in for a PRESEASON game? Can we say that's not good coaching?

You do realize that it was a jv online and 3rd string back right?

I'm listening. The defense played very well considering five turnovers what do you mean?

If I'm from Crosby I'd be VERY concerned if those were the starters.
