Hopefully we can put our worries away after this week b/c this is strongest defense we'll face the rest of the season. 

I agree 100%. Carthage is ripe for an upset this season. Reminds me of the 2018 Dawgs but our problem is on the opposite side of the ball. In 2018 it was our D that was a liability. In 2021 it is the offense. I think against subpar competition the offense is really good, but I’ll have to see them execute at a high level against a good defense before I’m not worried. They looked unstoppable against Center and I do believe games like that will help them build confidence, but I would love to see them look good this week against Jasper’s D.

This will be a measuring stick for the Carthage offense. I predict 14-0 or 7-0 and that's going to sting if it happens. If you guys had an offense to go with that defense, an upset wouldnt surprise me. I'd rather lose 30-0.
If Carthage scores 30+, I will know our offense is for real. If not, we're still the favorite for state but may get upset if we run into a good defense and an offense who can score a couple of tds

The Bulldogs have traditionally been undisciplined, to be honest. I don't remember many seasons that we played clean football, but we've always had enough talent to overcome those mistakes. We're really good when everything comes together (2018 for example)...but when the talent isn't there and you make too many mistakes, you get a team like this one. I'm sure the coaches harp on all of this, but how coachable are the kids? It's on everybody. 

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. 

What you are saying is what I said before the game. We needed some help from Carthage offense and we didn't get it. There is always next time........but I fully expect Surratt to get the QB playing a little better. You are right though. The late pick 6 made the score worse that it was. We don't throw that we are kinda still in the game. Like I said.......28-4 over a 2 year period aint bad🤣🤣

You’re right so why create another one?This one will be just as dumb as the other!

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

They (3A-1) donkey stomped 4A-1 Bay City 31-13 Friday.  Bay City, while not world beaters, consistently have a decent program.  Wouldn’t be surprised to see Edna get into the Top Ten if they’re able to continue this impressive start.

But we still won

thank you for your time.

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. 

He doesn't really care. Only cares about what goes on with his team in Crosby. I went D1 and had a bunch of teammates who were ballers that didn't live the game or research other teams. Kids now days have a lot more to do than sit around and read DC's you used to do back in the day. My older son couldn't have told you who Carthage was either. If the school is not close, if you don't watch the state games on tv or they have played them before, there are a bunch of young kids who don't know who a bunch of good teams are. 

Well I 100% respect what Aledo has done and as much as it pains me to say it yall for now are still the face of Texas football but we are slowly catching up and now that we are in d2 unless coach leaves yall better not slip up are we will pass yall before you know it

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.

Someone else may have a difference of opinion on what this says, but I do not believe you can play both. Scrimmages, yes because that is practice. Here is what I found.
(1)   Maximum Number of Regular Season Games. No team or student shall participate in more than 10 games during the 11-week regular season, prior to bi-district play. Exception: See below for ten-team districts that zone. Some districts do not play bi-district games and have 12 weeks to play 10 regular season games.
(3) Minimum Time Between Regular Season Games. Up to and including the final district game, no team or student in any conference shall be permitted to take part in more than one game within five calendar days. Example: A team playing Saturday night cannot play again until the following Thursday night. A team playing Monday night could play any time on Saturday.
 

The pass to Kirkwood was with the short field however after the missed tackles nobody was going to run him down even if we played on 150 yrd fields. 

Carthage might be 4AD2 in enrollment, but everyone knows their football numbers are WAY higher than the average 4AD2. Athletes flock to places like Carthage. 2 classification difference doesn't hold water in this case.

I personally hope yall go out and win it just makes carthage look even better

First to 50 wins. 

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