Coldspring fallen to the point where it is not safe to schedule Tarkington for Homecoming.

I believe that too honestly and after seeing them play. Yes they beat us, not a huge accomplishment or barometer on how you are as a team.

Their offense is one dimensional, shut down the run and you shut them down. Defense is carried by one man, when he was off the field that was a completely different unit. They do have speed but they are small.

Just my observation…

Defense is carried by 2 players. Keep in mind, they feel sorry for Tarkington and go out of their way to take it easy. 

48-14 Final

I think this game is going to be a toss up. By the comments here it seems some of y'all are trying to lay a dramatic foundation for an epic upset.  Unfortunately WO-S thirst for revenge is not valid - these are not the exact teams that played for the state championship. WO-S is pretty much the same unit returning most if not all starters. Carthage on the other hand lost A LOT and therefore have a lot of new parts and first year starters. They have some ares they are figuring out.  I don't think it will be an upset if WO-S wins this game. 

Team that just lost to Bay City is not going to be in a “toss up” with Carthage. If WOS wins it will be a great upset.

They need a good bounce back week. And to stay healthy.

Carthage is not a good opponent for a "bounce back week".

So which was it? 4 TD's or 2 TD's called back?

2. I stand corrected. Two of the call backs were long plays that did not score. Getting old.

1 was a punt return that should've never been kicked because the white hat was trying to reset the clock. There was only 1 other one I believe that was called backed due to holding. There were also a few suspect PI calls on West Sabine that would've gotten them off the field, that lead to TD's in the 1st half.

WS held to 100 yds rushing. Tough night for Wing T team.

Maybe WO-S wants to send a message. Maybe WO-S plays a great game and upsets Carthage. Lots of maybes, lots of things can happen... but from your expert analysis, the game is already over.

WOS sent a message last Friday.

Curious. What's your prediction on the score?

(Conservatively) I expect at least 3 TDs. I felt different before the year started. Now as we have got more data, it seems like Carthage is operating as normal.

Welp, WO-S... you might as well cancel the game. You have "zero chance"

Only question is: “How bad will the score be”?

 Expect Carthage will want to send a message

Will the starters be out long term or they'll start returning soon? 

Anticipate having 4 of them back for District.

Well I sure did miss this one.  Was thinking it may be a close game.  Pineland on the road to Deweyville this week to bounce back I hope. 

SA w/ 4 TDs called back. SA also missing 5 starters.

Zero chance

Their coach definitely schedules to their favor, credit to him. Especially when you start the year 0-3 in the Distict of Doom.

Yes, Huffman and Madisonville are normally bottom feeders who never win. Shepherd is currently decimated with injuries. 

SA 27-6 Final

21-0 SA Half

Big week for Jasper. Jasper probably favored next week vs Center. Doesnt seem probable that Jasper can beat HJ this year. 3 wins this season would be a step in the right direction all things considered.

Why did they run the clock so early?

Score wasn't that bad at half.

41-12 is a fairly large HT lead. Groveton unable to be competitive and worried about safety in the 2nd half. 60% of Groveton roster was sophomores and freshmen. 

Running clock to start the 3rd QTR. SA still missing four 2-way starters. Hope to have 3 of them back by the start of District. 

41-12 SA Half

I've seen worse teams turn it around with better coaching. They dont lack talent

Lol. I guess The current staff is just not offering “better coaching@. Nick Saban is not winning with this group. 

Been saying it for a while, does not matter who is coaching Jasper this year. The next 3 games are the only chances at a win. 0-5 in District seems probable.

Hard to compare any of Tarkington athletics to last year, they will be better across the board this year just by moving down and playing more manageable schedules. Not sure if that is going to be actively better or worse than the last two years, but it will look better because of 3A. 
 

They were 4-6 both seasons in the last 3A realignment. 

Tarkington will not be 4-6 this year. Will likely be 0-10.

Hopefully they will be at 100% by district. I know they were missing a handful the other night. Brook Hill is pretty salty tho

4 starters out. 3 of them are two-way starters and 3 of the "big 5" players on the team. Brookhill suited up 46 players for the game to 26 for SA. Schedule loosens up between now and district.

Does anyone else on the Prairie see improvement in this team? Genuinely curious, I see the difference and can see them starting to gel and figure things out, even though final scores don’t necessarily reflect that. Am I overly optimistic?

Our OL is atrocious, that’s a huge problem obviously. The defense is much improved and seems to be getting better each game.

Looking for intelligent thoughts…

Take solace in the team being disciplined and projecting a positive culture. There is nothing for the coach to work with at the moment. Not sure where the relief will come from.
