You sure do enjoy belittling Carthage.  You never miss an opportunity.  I can't say I remember a Carthage fan returning the favor.

Please explain how I am belittling them.

Nothing out of El Paso or RVG should be ranked #dfmpander

I hear ya. PSJA North went 13-1 making it to the region final losing that game by 6. They return 21 starters from last year. That's enough for me to feel ok with ranking them #9.

Check with Marshall coaches and see what they think. 

I don't care what Marshall coaches think lol.

Nope not possible… don’t tell @89Falcon something like that 😂

Carthage fans are extremely confident when it comes to their team. Been awhile since they have been humbled.

Still bizarre not seeing Denton Ryan, Manvel, or Cedar Park in the top 10. Very good programs trying to get back to the top.

Saw your top 10 of 5AD1 on the 6A site, I can't disagree with it 🤷🏾‍♂️ @AledoAlumni

I think it's pretty solid. We both know there are teams that will come out of nowhere and have a really good season. Kinda like Burleson Centennial last year. Others I'm probably overrating. No doubt Region 2 is the most stacked in 5AD1. Gonna be brutal making it out. Should make for an exciting season. 

1. Aledo

2. Longview

3. Lancaster

4. College Station

5. Mansfield Timberview

6. Smithson Valley

7. Midlothian

8. Port Arthur Memorial

9. PSJA North

10. Georgetown

Man Carthage wants all the smoke… even from one of the stronger 5A programs in the state

If Longview and Carthage played this coming season, I think Carthage loses by 3-4 tds.

I did not say they "would" win, but they definitely "could" win. I am a "non-Carthage" person but I know what they have and fully understand what is happening in the program. I also understand why the folks who dont see them regularly do not understand the strength of their program and would like to believe them to be something less than what they are at the moment. 

Pound for pound Carthage is top 2-3 in the state. But overall they are 40-50 ish??

What is the longest win streak in history? 

No idea.

I expect he will retire or move on when Jett graduates. The "4 year" run will be 64-0 which will likely be regarded as the "best run". I think the only chance for a loss would be if they "play up" in pre-district at the next alignment where a higher classification opponent provides too much for them. Obviously, his entire career in Carthage could/will be considered the greatest run for a career. 

Carthage could go 64-0 with 4 state titles but that isnt the "best run". Lake Travis went 77-3 with 5 state titles in a row ('07-'11), while being in a larger classification. Thats the best run all time.

PNG for the near future will always be a contender with their new coach! (until one day if he leaves)  

For region or state?

Lancaster 9/3, Timberview 5/8. (offense/defense)

Is Aledo 8/5?

Region 2 is a damn gauntlet smh. Sheesh. 

Do you think R2 this season is more difficult than a year when you have to go against a good Manvel and Cedar Park team in R3?

This will be the best Week 1 game in Texas. Both teams are very talented. Both are quickly gaining (or perhaps better put, regaining) statewide prominence. Expect a thriller.

One thing I’ll say about the low number of returning starters at PN-G: Coach Joseph likes to make a lot of substitutions, and that seemed to become more commonplace the further PN-G went in the playoffs. Just because we have a new starter this season, doesn’t mean that kid doesn’t have a similar level of experience to the returning starter suiting up next to him.

What specifically about this game makes it the best week 1?

Beat Png at their place last season 50-15, this year the game is at our place where we don't lose too many home openers. 

 

Memorial 4/7, png 4/3. Offense/Defense. 

Ah, misread the first post. 

One of the top tier games in the state week 1! Both programs seem to be excited for this coming season. Both ranked in the top 10 in their class. I'll go with PNG in this one. I think the extra couple of weeks practicing and championship experience will help PNG start the season off right. Plus they are playing at home. How many does each team return?

We don't have a prim and proper community like Cedar Park or Colleyville so you have to be able to deal with the BS as just part of your job at Crosby.

Ex: I just talked to him for about an hour to see if I could clean PAPF and I told him I don't think Crosby will make the playoffs or be very successful in the offensive system he runs.

Lmao!!!

Because I'm not the one who initiated a bet.  I'm not betting you atp. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Not sure what atp is. But why would you say keep it $100 if you weren't going to bet?

Sounds like some Crawfishing going on ??? 😃😃

Not at all. Different bet, different amount I'd wager. Unless you are talking about Buddy. How is he going to like your post but not offer terms lol.

Don't lower the bet. $100 straight up. 

You havent even picked who you want lol.

20 minutes ago, Mr. Buddy Garrity said:

Nope. We can pick straight up winner of R2 though. 

I'd do $50 on Longview. You want PAM or Lancaster? Also if neither team wins the region then bet off?

1 hour ago, Mr. Buddy Garrity said:

Wouldn't surprise me if Port Arthur Memorial does it as well. 

We can Charity bet. You can have PAM and I get the field for the R2 winner. 3:1 up to $100.

Yeah it's BH losing to Port Arthur Memorial part 2 at The Butch. 😁

Ah, that bias lol. But hey, I dont think you're wrong about Lancaster. Would not surprise me one bit to see them win the region.

Exactly, just a blind shot in the dark with not a single fact related to Crosby. No reputable coach even wants to work for the guy. 

Set down the weights, pull out your reading glasses and put on your think cap. My statement was not about Crosby, it was about Coach Willis and how his teams performed. I said they played hard and didnt quit. Those qualities have nothing to do with talent.
