Defense is missing tackles, but in position to make plays.

Sporadic.

It was 1 to 1 during controlled portion. PNG just hit on a go route but was called back.

They are in game situation right now with TC up 13-0.

That QB for Vidor is a hoss!

Is Jasper running the Wing like the other Barbay's do?

CC 9 TD's to 3 for HI. Not a bad start at all.

[quote name="scapegoat" post="1246683" timestamp="1345263736"] IMO If the offensive line does not shape up soon,Nederland better put some of the beef from the defensive line on the offensive line "at times".Would be nice to see some good ole smash mouth football instead of the version we are seeing now.If NED could get a couple of scores from the big guys,I think the D would be good enough to hold most teams under 14. [/quote] I saw #89 playing on both sides for most of the night. That kid is a STUD. Blocks well on offense and is dang near unstoppable on defense. Wish we had him.

INT... Bout to get ugly!

This game is OVER! LP doesn't have the offense to come back from this far.

I'm sure you would treat us pour Trojans the same if you won. [/quote] I guess as a CS fan I don't really see it the same way...Yes we did beat WOS in basketball last year, however, we haven't won anything yet...It was awesome to witness the run to the state title game last year and watch this years team try to get back but until we're able to actually win a state title or two no matter how much I love my trojans and the kids who play for them we simply won't have the skins (so to speak) on the wall that a team like WOS does...All smack talk aside WOS state championships in multiple sports speaks for itself...Has CS had the upperhand the last few years? Yes but fortunes could reverse just as quickly... There was alot of smack talk on both sides but IMO most all WOS posters have been nothing short of gracious and complementary following a hard fought loss...The fact that they're able to do this shows that they've seen the cyclical nature of sports and understand that you win some, lose some... Just enjoy the ride because what the boys from CS have done so far the last 3 years is really special... Very few teams get to enjoy thanksgiving and december highschool football...They're making memories that will literally last a lifetime... [/quote] Very insightful and very TRUE post. Good one MEM. As soon as he said that I was thinking, "what have YOU won???" LOL Good luck to CS next couple of weeks. I hope this is the year they DO win something. ;)

The old saying just keeps ringing in my ears this morning, "Sometimes your the hammer, sometimes your the nail". Not hard to figure out who was who last night. Great job CS-O, no doubt you were the better team! Keep playing at this level for a couple more rounds!!! To my Mustangs, go work hard this off season. Do everything ask of you and with all we have coming back next year, we will get our shot again.  ;)

But the same can't really be said for 3adownlow, where WO-S leads the poll with 69%. Guess what? POLLS, STATS, PREVIOUS SCORES, RANKINGS, POTENTIAL D1 STARS, etc. MEAN NOTHING at this point! I remember when WO-S had THE best defense in 4A about a decade ago. We had seven or eight shutouts. Did a LaMarque team that was having a "down year" care? Nope. They pulled the upset. [/quote] AMEN 92, and you forgot to add 40 times and track state titles as well... This is a football game, not a track meet and all our 40 times will get us is about as many points as their defensive stats and record against common opponents will get them. It's about match ups and who wins the war in the trenches.

[/b] WO-S' defense has always been built to stop the run first.  Coldspring is in for a serious challenge.  If the Mustangs eliminate turnovers and cut down on penalties, I like our chances to advance. [/quote]     Coldspring's defense is [b]one dimensional[/b] too lol...Lights OUT..Only giving up 88 points in 13 ball games...Best in State... ;D [/quote] It will be the toughest defense we've faced, IMO. But, we have seen some pretty good ones this year.

I'm a believer of 1 or 100, just win. But, you lost that angle when you almost lost to Lorena, sorry. I believe these tough games are good for Coldspring. They know they are beatible and will prepare for this game like it will be their last one. They have been in tough games before and make no mistake about it, this game will be a dog fight till the end. [/quote] this CS team knows how to handle adversity and have been tested throughout the playoffs and that is how champions are made. No angle, just the truth. [/quote] I can respect that. My posts are for those trying to make excuses for what we have done in the playoffs so far. Not trying to take anything away from CS.

Bullard just knocked Robinson (who beat Lorena) out of the playoffs. We just beat Bullard by 32...

I don't make predictions, but CS is a running team and that plays right into the strength of the WOS defense. The CS QB was 1-8 with 4 INT's last night, they appear to be one dimensional. This game will be about matchups and I think WOS may have an advantage there. On the flip side, Salter did have 3 INT's on the day himself, but he also still had 3 TD's and well over 100 yds passing, I'm sure. He has 1800 yds passing for the season. Both teams have great running games, but WOS is anything but one dimensional.

I hope WOS travels a little better than they did today. Just an observation , I think the weather kept a lot of the good folks from Orange off the road. [/quote] Actually I thought there seemed to be a lot more WOS in the stands today than on Bullards side. Come to think of it... I think 5-10% of those were from Coldspring. ;) [/quote] I agree, I thought we had a pretty good turn out. It'll be better next week.

In most defenses (the 50 especially), if your interior line is doing their job, the linebackers do make the majority of tackles...
