Guys, I am from Carthage and I will fill you in on a few things. They gave Jacksonville the game, very first game of the year. 6 turnovers and 13 penalties. The Dawgs intercepted the ball with about 2 minutes in the game, and all they would have to do was fall down and run the clock out. But the young man who intercepted ran about 50 yards and was stripped before he went down. Jacksonville went down and won with just a few seconds left. Whitehouse, went division 2 in 4a and was beat in a barn burner last week. Carthage muffed a kick that went into the endzone. the kid kneeled in down in the endzone, which should have brought it out to the 25. However, the ref put in on the 1 and just before Carthage snapped the ball, the Ref blew the whistle, talked to the other officials and then awarded Whitehouse a safety. Carthage was then only ahead 27-22. The kicked to Whitehouse and they scored with a few seconds left in the game. Every game that has been close, Carthage has had problems with turnovers and penalties. If this team shows up on Friday with a no mistake performance, Carthage will be very very tough to beat. Mostly Juniors on this team. Most of the front 7 on offense, the QB, and RB are juniors too. Don't remember about wideouts. Defense is tuff. Hard to run up the middle on them and they cover ground really fast. From the post ya'll put, I understand ya'll have speed. Carthage has speed and has seen great speed this year. All the fans better hold on for this one......it will be good. Of course I pick the Dawgs even it is just by 1.
