I truly think that Silsbee will score in this one because of two things. #1 You can't expect those young men to play perfect on every play all year long. #2 Silsbee has athletes and will throw every trick play, jump ball and fumblerooski known to man to get the moral victory in this one. Can they hang with WOS? I honestly do not believe they have the full capability but it only takes one slip up or great play to score and everyone is vulnerable! Any Given Friday!

Wow

Lord have mercy

With all due respect I must jump in this conversation again to add my two cents on the WO-S and Silsbee matchup. Silsbee had 2 young men that transferred in and immediately created a whirlwind of comments from a few posters that this was their year and that because Silsbee had a new coach and 2 new D-1 prospects that they would take the Mustangs down. I compare those comments kinda like If I tell you to close your eyes and imagine a T-BONE STEAK when really it is a Balogna sandwich, then you eat it and immediately know that it was plain old OSCAR MEYER!! Yes, you pictured and imagined a beautiful thing nut in the end it was ground up horse meat and whatever else was on the butcher floor. Silsbee will leave Orange County with their rear handed to them for a good 30-40 minute drive full of thoughts as to why in the hell did we ever say that we wanted this matchup. Nederland said they wanted to beat WO-S and got blanked and manhandled. LC-M said the same and had one good play for an interception and then BC said they would Shock the World and got DONKEY-STOMPED. Silsbee will join the rest of those poor yungins and I will be there to see it. I will have Holy Water on deck to bless their souls!

No offense HellRazor but you dang near mirrored my original comments about Gilmer with a few additions! At the end of the day no offense was meant but you confirmed what I originally stated! Your first showing on defense did not portray that of a team ready for Gilmer! I also stated that you may be ready by then and you said the same! Atlanta is a very talented program! I had them in my top 6 in preseason and still do! This is an early season assessment and will change as the year progresses! Good luck to you sir and those Rabbits! I only wish the best for all the young men that play the game!

obviously not a TRUE DIE HARD!

Not from Gilmer just giving my opinion of their strengths and weaknesses. I have watched them all Summer at 7on 7 and that is why they look so good right now but they have not been challenged like Carthage will. This game will be a thriller but i still feel that they are good enough to win their district. If this upsets you then I apologize but it is only my opinion. Gilmer is ok right now and has a long season ahead. I feel as if they are running the score up to prove themselves or achieve some level of validation and I am not a fan of that type of play. If you look at their videos you will see what I am referring to. If you are from Atlanta, then there is no disrespect but your game against Henderson did not leave me with the gut feeling that you were ready t face Gilmers passing attack. Maybe by then you will be but for now the tape does not show your defense credible. The entire game is on Youtube as well vs Henderson and to those who are curious you can view it for youselves and voice your opinion. All in all, I think they have great team speed and can score quickly but Gilmers defense will be exposed Saturday night. I will be there with bells on.

I am pretty sure that Newton will mimic the Blue Print that Coach Thompson laid out last week on how to expose their defense and Man Coverage. Newton is no where near as fast as the Mustang offense or defense but they definitely have more overall team speed. 2 things can happen here: BC rebounds and straight up dominates with their Huge Offensive Line and wins the game with ball control or they let another one slip because the pain from last week has not mentally and physically healed yet. Time will tell!!!

This thread has watered down 40 fold from before the season when Silsbee Fans swore to the creator of all that is good that Silsbee was ready and that this was "THE YEAR"! What happened to all of that? I watched WO-S play against lcm and I think lcm is better than Silsbee. This game has the capability to be a major blowout. The Stang Crew will lay it all on the line and they won't be making deals "The Silsbee Way" LMAO.

Woodville takes this one and shows Liberty how Orangefield felt when the final seconds ran off the clock!

Two Words: Colton Mackey! Game Changer and was one of the best receivers in 4A, Just Get that young man the ball!

If you wish to see the game it will be on Youtube by Monday or Tuesday the following week. Carthage Airs their games in entirety every week! I for one will be ready for the upload!

I can't predict a score for the Carthage game but I have seen Carthage play and they have a decent defense compared to what Gilmer has seen so far. I don't see it being a blowout, more of a barn burner!

Gilmer is averaging about 60 points per outing and they have a strong resemblance to the playbook of 2014 under Jeff Traylor. They have a new Qb that's short but has a quick release and knows where his receivers will be due to many repetitions during the Summer involving 7on 7 play. They use Screen plays but love to throw the deep ball which has earned them many points! Speed and Repetition is their forte but their Achilles heel is their defense! They lack size on their Defensive line and even though they send the house and try to use their speed to shut down the pass play they leave themselves open for Counters and Draw plays! Not sure in the strength of their secondary but they have been exposed many times in both the running and passing game so they definitely are vulnerable! Overall they will defeat their district and first round opponents because the region is weak this year! I believe that in order to beat them it will take a punch in the jaw, that won't quit and they will fold! Sorry for so much info but it's an honest opinion!

I say Bring Back the Dome!!!!!!!!! The ASTRODOME was the all time best.
