CS wanted it early in the day for their kids. CS wanted to flip for the time so Rusk countered with 6 am and CS said no. They settled on 7:00pm without the coin toss. 
Just setting  up to meet for the coin toss started the disagreements. 

I have to go to Ft Worth tomorrow. I think I may swing by on the way home to watch.

I guess y’all should have done some chest beating after the first two rounds. 

Those coin tosses have to feel somewhat like this

I see Rusk has their magic quarter working again this season.😁

So you’re saying the left is right. I didn’t peg you as a libtard. 

Mason Cirkle doesn’t get much attention behind JD but I would give him the ball against anybody. There aren’t many #2’s better in my opinion 

I definitely expect the "Thursday" team to show up against JD on Tuesday. Will be interesting to see how they fare against Circle but he is no easy pass either.  

Yeah I hope we play better going forward than the last couple games. I’m sure they will get things rolling again. El Campo isn’t by any means a bad team. Bellville, Sealy , and El Campo are closer in team talent than some may be

We definitely had an uncharacteristically poor night catching the football especially early in the game. We started the year without a viable  running back and our best option was dismissed from the team week 5. Against good defenses like Jasper and Bellville it put too much on our passing game especially the O Line. We knew going in against Bellville we needed to score every possession to have a chance. The score was more of a reflection of Reese and Briggs explosiveness than anything. We would have several good plays on defense but one mistake and they can take it to the house. I don’t remember a series that they didn’t have at least one play of 30 plus yards. Those are killers for a defense. 
We played a relatively clean game offensively against Carthage but they play such sound defensive technique and are so fast at every level that you rarely get many yards even on good plays. They are not as good overall as they were last year but they are better defensively. They will need to play their starters all four quarters, unlike last year, but I don’t see them losing to anyone.

It’s definitely irrelevant. We, Rusk, scored 14 on Carthage in the first half. Jasper’s defense is not at Carthage’s level. Every game is different. Jasper and Bellville are equally good defensively. 

if we didn't have to score points to win, I would GUARANTEE that Jasper wins.

I would imagine every team that plays Carthage will feel like the played their worst game all season. They don’t give up many points and even fewer yards. Definitely a hard nut to crack. 14 points is a good night against that defense. 

Center definitely played a much tougher non district schedule. There probably is very little difference between Rusk and Center. Even the slightest difference can have one team sitting at home 1-9 and another playing in the second round of the playoffs at 9-2. Every little bit matters in Texas HS football I guess. 

I will be pulling for y’all also. How cool would a rematch be in the Regional game? 
Both teams will definitely need their “A+” game this week for it to happen. 

I don’t believe we have anyone on the team as fast as Briggs or Reese but we do have a lot of speed on the team. 

Yes, y’all played above average defense that evening. I don’t guess I could call it great since we struggle against any decent defense. I guess Carthage’s defense is only average since we scored 14 against them. 

BTW it’s nice that you keep the big zero points scored game fresh in my memory. I would hate to forget it 🤮

I'm going to laugh to at this post.After this week there will be one from 9,10,11 and 12 left.

I realize I’m biased but he is one of the best HS QB’s you will see. He was at the Elite 11 in Dallas with Quinn Ewers, Nick Evers, Cade Klubnik, ect.. and this is how SI graded him.

I may be wrong but I see us scoring more than 7. If we don’t they will definitely score more than 35. Bellville isn’t Jasper, if we keep giving the ball back they will score. 

You are correct. It was a Chinese fire drill on the Oline the first three games of district. 
We’ve actually had to adjust our lineup. Our starting LFT tackle was out vs Jasper (out for the season) and we slid a guard to replace and the RT tackle to guard.  Three weeks ago we moved a dlineman over to off tackle and moved the RT tackle back outside. Now the only 300 pound kids are the two guards. Center and tackles are 250-270. It started paying off on Friday. We are moving tremendously better on the edges now. 
 

It takes me a little while to cool down. 
The immovable object is alive and well and the unstoppable force was proven to be very stoppable. 
The Jasper offense didn’t score much but they did a great job of keeping ours off the field in the 1st half. We ran 4 plays in the 1st quarter and 19 in the 2nd. 
Congrats to the Bulldogs and good luck moving forward

😳Sorry about that. I can be a little bit of a Richard Cranium at times. Last night was one of those times. 

Every team Rusk has beaten is ranked higher than every team Jasper has beaten.  Just saying
