No real Texan wants to drive into that woke California traffic night mare. 

Weather, weather, weather is why no one likes different locations. AT&T gives every team a chance. No wind, rain, or cold. Home field advantage would make sense IF the teams played all their home games there. The one time it was played at NRG, attendance was way down. 
90 percent of the teams that make it to the championship prefer AT&T. 
 

This was my tenth year attending the entire weekend, and I can say without a doubt, AT&T is the premiere location for these games. There is no argument to be made except for the one about home field advantage. Having said that, NS has won 3 of 4 from Duncanville with the disadvantage everyone is saying they have by going into AT&T for that game. The DFW teams have an advantage, but it has nothing to do with the location. It's more related to facilities, support and easy ability to move around. 

Absolutely no. 
AT&T is heads and above the best stadium to hold the state championship. 
Houston traffic sucks. 
San Antonio traffic and stadium sucks. 
Austin, who the heck wants to drive into that woke California invested piece of crap. 
Every kid in Texas wants to play in Cowboys Stadium with the big screen.

You forgot about the University of Carthage I suppose!

Here some some stat info you SETX fans. 
The starting Dawg Defense has held 8 of the 12 opponents to minus yards rushing in the first half. 
They have held 10 of the 12 opponents to zero points in the first half
The starting D have given up 20 points in 12 games, that is 1.6 points a game. 
The Dawg offense has averaged 42 points by half time. 
Cuff has 43 touchdown passes 3,000 yards with only 3 interceptions. He has never played in the fourth quarter and usually pulled one series in the 3rd quarter. Most of the games he and the starters never played in the second half. 
The starting D only played one series in the 3rd quarter in all 12 games. 
This could be the best Dawg team of all time, only time will tell. 

I was impressed with the defensive line.   When Gilmer did have success on a few runs, it was to the perimeter, and not between the tackles.  They are big, and agile.   That defense will always be something special for years to come.
I’m not sure a young, sophomore QB woulda made much of a difference either.

Gilmers defense was way better than I thought they were. Gilmer played their butts off. 
The Dawgs D held the 11th team out of 13 to zero points at half time and 7 points for the game. The Dawg starters have held 13 opponents to 27 points in 13 games, that is 2.0 points a game. 
The Dawg offense was a little off tonight, but that could be attributed to the Gilmer defense. 
The Dawg D has 4 sophomores on defense and two sophomores on the offensive line. That alone is amazing because they are very big and talented. 

Crosby went to the semi finals and Carthage beat them in non district game the same year. They beat them with 9 brand new starters on offense and two offensive linemen missing due to COVID. 
Just saying.

It's several of teams that were in the 5A-D2 playoffs that Carthage can beat with ease.  A few of them that are still playing as well.  Carthage didn't get nationally ranked in the beginning of the season for nothing.  I believe that they was #20 or something like that.

Don't be so sure about that.  Take a look at Liberty Hill and what they have accomplished since being in 5A after moving up from 4A-D1 a few seasons ago and actually made it to the semi-finals against Crosby and I can guarantee you that Carthage is better than both of those teams. 

I THINK CARTHAGE IS GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN A 5A TITLE.

I doubt China Spring would score on this Dawg D. 
If they played, Dawgs by 21. 

U sure bout that by the record I would say china is happy they moved to d1

That guy needs to tell the whole story. 
what a jerk. 
it was 54 to 0 in the first half. Carthage pulled all starters in the start of the 3rd quarter. VA kept all starters in the game on both sides of the ball and scored 30 points on 2nd team, 3rd team and freshmen players. VA Never pulled their starters. So Surratt let the freshmen score. If he wants to rant on someone, he needs to point to VA head coach. 
Surratt has never run the score on any team. He would rather get his young players playing time. He could have scored a hundred in the 3rd quarter alone.

TBF Theres only one game I'll pick against the Lobos and that's when they play Crosby. 
I don't understand the fans on boards that claim to love their school and then have 0 faith when they play a better team. 

Just telling you Crosby folks, if you have never played in Longview, your in for a Lobo experience. Everything is Lobo there. The wolf calls and the Longview fans and band on the visitor side. Your down 14 before you get off the bus.  The indoctrination is loud and long.  Few visitors ever leave Lobo Country with a victory, and if by miracle it should occur, it will be a close nail biter because Longview never goes down easy.   
My prediction is Longview 56  Crosby 13. 
Longview is better than anyone you have seen this year or last year. Mark my words.

I would hold off on giving them the trophy. 
There is another defense that held 8 of 10 opponents to minus rushing yards at half time, allowed 2.7 points a game in 10 games. An offense that averages 42 points by half time. The starting defense gave up 27 points in 10 games. The offense and defensive starters have not taken a snap in the fourth quarter. 
QB has thrown for 2,503, 35 touchdowns, with 3 interceptions and he only played the first series in the third quarter. 
I can’t wait to see Silsbee and the Gobbler’s, we in the East know how good they are. 

Carthage Dawg starters on defense held 8 of the 10 teams to minus yards rushing in the first half.  They have allowed 2.7 points per game in ten games. The Dawg offense has averaged 42 points by half time. 
The offensive and defensive starters have not played a down in the fourth quarter. 
The Dawg D line are all sophomores 6ft 2” 285, 6ft 275, and 6ft 4 270, and Sophomore linebacker 6ft 2 220
The starting defense has only allowed 27 points in 10 games  
QB has thrown for 2,503 yards, 35 touchdowns, with 3 interceptions  in 10 games and has never played a down in the fourth   
This years Dawg are really special and fun to watch. 

We Dawg fans believe we have the best high school football coach in Texas. 
8 state championships. 
More state championships than playoff losses. 
SLC was a great program when got there and so was Westlake. 
No doubt he is one of the best but the best, I disagree. 
Aledo, Celina, Katy, all can claim great coaches with many state championships.
