[quote]I dont know if thats a very good gauge to use.. They only scored 3 against Nederland's defense..[/quote]

Both teams should be respected. I have seen Nederland many times and they will bring a crowd. Gtown does not have the history that Nederland does, but has the heart. They scored 34 on Pflugerville. This is a dangerous team both on offense and defense...

[quote]Pflugerville had a fast paced offense too. The Dogs have seen it before. Obviously GT is of higher caliber than PC, but the tempo won't be something the defense can't handle.[/quote]

Pflugerville scored (0) against Gtown

I just watched the Nederland/Dawson video. Should be an interesting game. Dawson ran the ball a lot and seemed to be fairly predictable. Had opportunities in the secondary but didn't convert except for a long pass in the 3rd. Give credit to the Nederland D. Gtown has a pretty different O than Dawson, faster paced and mixing up the play calling. I cant wait to be at Berry Center on Saturday to watch the game.

[quote] Went to and played for PN-G, I live in Round Rock, just 5 minutes from Georgetown.  But I will be at this next game with my PN-G shirt on, raising heck for the bulldogs!   Glad to see my neighbors up here in my neck of the woods.  My wife and I will be there!

That said, I've seen Georgetown play twice this year.  Do not underestimate them.   When they were in 5A, they were nearly winning against Round Rock Stony Point who made it to the semi's 2 years in a row.  They always made us nervous.  They are very well coached and do not get discouraged.  Their wins this season is proof of that.  So don't get cocky, may come back to bite you.   Respect all, but fear no one!  Go Bulldogs!

That's because of the Georgetown culture. "Eagle fight never dies". I have never seen a Gtown team give up no matter how bad they are...since 1980. In 1999 they rallied back against Lufkin from a 28-0 deficit in the 3rd quarter to tie the game. The always lay it on the line and die on the battle field

This should be a close game, with the better defense prevailing. The Gtown D cannot be underestimated as they held Connelly, Manor, and Elgin to just 16 points total. Teams that have combined to go 6-2 in the playoffs thus far. Also the Gtown D held Angleton to just 14 offensive points through 3 quarters, so the final score is a little skewed. Nederland will have to score quick, and maintain a lead. Georgetown wins in a tight one.

Everyone talks aout the Gtown offense, but does not mention the defense. Gtown and Leander are thought to be the best defenses in 4a, which does not seem favorable to Nederland. Not to mention Gtown's offense. Each week the competition gets togher and tougher, but Gtown's defense shuts down a low scoring Nederland offense more than Nederlands defense shuts downs a Gtown offense. Georgetown wins. I think the game will be at the Alamodome in SA.

I agree in part, what I am looking at is not just points scored but points allowed. I graduated from Tomball, but I went to the Gtown Summer Creek game last week. Gtown was outmatched. Summer Creek was bigger, faster, and more athletic. Somehow the Gerorgetown defense had 3 guys in the QB's face every play. I think it is more coaching than talent in this case...Any given Friday

My prediction is Georgetown over Angleton and Dawson over Nederland.

Key Games:
Angleton 39, Nederland 31
Nederland 17, Connelly 10
Georgetown 34, Connelly 0

If Nederland can score 31 against Angleton but only scores 17 against Connelly, most likely Gtown will have no problem scoring against either of those teams while keeping their scoring to a minimum. The Georgetown defense allowed less points per game than Angleton-Dawson-Nederland, while the offense has scored more than the three. The key is Georgetown keeping penalties to a minimum, a lot of the points allowed have been due to penalty yardage.
