How did the Trojan O-line look?

No injuries and good fundamentals being exhibited.  Wanna see how the o-line does.  Very few penalties and fumbles.  Those hurt us in the title game last year.

I know every coach out there is confident.  You can't be a good coach unless ur confident.  In talking to Coach Barbay back in the spring he was very confident in the O-linemen that would replace last years group.  I really think that Sherman and the defense are going to be great. Alfred has another year under his belt and with the trip to the title game should really help his experience.  I think this is the year we finally bring it home.  We have been very close so many times.

I can't wait to see my Trojans embark on another run at a state title.  I know they lost a great offensive line, but I think the other guys coming will do great and the defense is gonna be awesome.  How many of you think the Trojans can make it back to the title game?

[Hidden Content] Many of the Texas schools should be much higher on this list.  I'm not sure who comes up with this list, but their way off.  I'm pretty confident that Aledo could beat many of the teams that are ahead of them.  What do y'all think?

Very tough kid.  Really gonna miss his toughness and leadership.  Have heard he may end up at SFA or Sam.

[/quote] I think Gilbert passed 2,000 and Cummings 2,500 for the season in the game against Carthage.... [/quote] I agree what an amazing feat for these two young men.  I wish we had one more year with Cody.  At least we got Sherman for one more and there are some fine young guys coming up to play. 

I think it was great.  Those who were not able to make were able to see the game on t.v.  For me it was awesome to go to the game, and then come home and be able to see the Trojans on t.v.  I hoping I don't have to wait long to see Coldspring on national t.v. again.  Without all the games at one place it would not be possible.  I remember when I got to play in the Astrodome 14 years ago it was amazing.  I know for these kids it had to be just awesome.  So I can't complain. 

This is going to be a fine job for someone.  With the talent Jasper normally has.  They should get better.

This spot is also open for any Trojan fans that would like to thank the boys for the great season.  I know not many gave us a shot, but we proved them all wrong and Coach Barbay will have them ready to roll again next year.

[/quote]id put Aledo in my top 5 [/quote] You would have too.  Especially with what they did in the second half of the game.  To hold that group to one touchdown in the second half.  That was very impressive.  I really thought Guyer was gonna get Cibolo,  but Malcolm Brown is a beast also.  I know being balanced is important, but having a great running game is more important.  Being able to control the game is important.

I just think it is a little odd for a bunch of high school kids to have tatoo's.  Ware and Claiborne had some also.  My friend sitting next to me thought they were probably fake.  Maybe some type of intimidation factor going on.  I don't really care about it.  I have tatoo's, but I don't believe high school kids should be all tatooed up like their fresh off a prison farm.

[quote name="Scooter!" post="936285" timestamp="1292794095"] Morgan has to get some looks. Most accurate passer in 3A [/quote] If he was a little taller I think it would be a no brainer, but he is 5'10 and that could be a problem for bigger schools.  One of the best passers I have seen at the high school level.  There were some throws he made and our d-backs had really good coverage on them.  I was really impressed with him.  I was not so impressed with the crazy hair cut or tatoo's he had.  I don't know if anyone saw that or not, many of the Carthage players had tatoo's.  I don't know if they were real or fake.  I just kinda thought it was weird for a bunch of high school kids to have tats. 

Well it really didn't come off sounding that way

(74 TD throws the last two yrs) So...lets say that Coldspring has the defensive line to pretty much stop Holland (and you just might from what I'm reading). But do you also have the secondary to match up with a prolific passing attack? Serious question, since maybe you have that too for all I know. [/quote] Really Trigger that made u happy to see.  I thought u said u were a former Trojan?  I mean if you are then how can you get on here and talk this way.  I think both running backs did an outstanding job this year.  Next year we won't have Cody so we will have to ride with Sherman.  I think it is kinda sad though that you get on here and think it is funny that Sherman got hit like that by a mch bigger kid, and if I'm right proclaimed to be a former Trojan.  I would love to know who you are because I'm a former Trojan as well. And.....there you have it. Coldspring had perhaps the best run defense I've seen against the Dawgs, but Morgan was given too much time to throw, and that's asking for trouble. Gilbert was definitely all that he was advertised to be- wow! Speed to burn and shifty-quick. Congrats on making it to the State Championship; no one can ever take that away from you.  [/quote] Congratulations to Carthage on the big win!  I will say this, your offensive line sure improved over when they played Jasper last year.  I remember Morgan almost getting sacked several times then.  CS never got close.  And that is saying a lot to keep CS out. [b][color=red]And yes, Gilbert is something special[/color][/b].  Just like his brother at Oklahoma State.  I had the privilege of watching both, and they can MOVE! [/quote] Gilbert played like the little brother of a great player.  Willie Gault was special too, but it takes more than speed to be a running back.  IF gilbert "jr." makes it to the next level, he won't be in anybody's backfield. He's special teams or DB material.  The kid has no power or fight to survive in the backfield.  Heck, compare him to the kid from Pearland and they are polar opposites.  Cummings was the better back! My fondest  ::)memory of Gilbert was towards the end of the game when Kendall Thomas tackled him as they tried to run Gilbert up the middle...Gilbert went limp as Thomas just wrapped his arms around him...Now that was special :o  :-* [/quote]

I can't wait till we lineup with Kirbyville again.  I saw the first game of last year.  I missed the playoff game.  Y'all are true test for us and I have never been over there to watch a game.  So looking forward to the road trip.  Need to get Fox Sports over there for the DQ big game of the week.  That would be really cool for this little rivalry we are starting to develop.

This year I have posted more on the board than in previous years.  This is probably due to the fact my Trojans had so much success.  It is so much easier to get on here at say things when your team is winning.  I love this message board and rely on it more than I know during football season.  When I'm gone at work and need to know if the Trojans won or lost I can always find out here.  None of the other sites cover Coldspring Trojan football quite like here.  I know sometimes I can get a little too passionate about the Trojans and say some things I shouldn't,  but that is how I have always been about my Alma mater and will always be.  That is probably why my Karma is negative 300 something and I will never be able to climb out of that hole.  Sorry Scooter you add a lot to the board.  WOS Grad thanks for all you do and the many others here that provide indepth high school football coverage.  I may not be on much during the off season, but come August I will back strong to talk about another great season of high school football which I love probably more than college or pro football.  It has been a great year for me with the Trojans going to the State Finals, but I also recognize those which we lost like Reggie and Coach Barbay.  I can't wait till next season.  Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.

I want take this time to congratulate the boys on a fine season.  Nothing to hang their heads over.  Carthage was the better team and deserves everything.  Ever since Coach Moynahan left we have been up and down with coaches until four years ago when Coach Barbay returned to Coldspring.  I hope all the seniors learned some valuable life lessons.  The underclassmen need to just keep working to continue this and get that title.  I'm very proud to call myself a Trojan.  I never thought I would see my high school on T.V.  It was an awesome season and I can't wait until late August early September to do it again.  I don't get on this board much in off season.  So to all message board guys see you all next season.

[/quoteWhooo!!!] Looks can be decieving . .all i see is Dogs with That BIG C On the helmet [/quote] Well do I need to come over there and point u in the direction of the big bad Trojans

Inside the stadium for warmups.  The Trojans look good.

Not much of a Cowboy fan, but this stadium they have is very impressive.  I'm ready to get this thing going.  Bout to be tailgating and getting pumped for the game.

Just because u think ur being real don't mean ur real.  If ur a former Trojan then u gotta believe.  I don't care what the other teams stats say or what any outsiders say.  This group of kids deserve that much respect.  I'm a former Trojan as well and I would never pick against even if we were playing the Dallas Cowboys.
