  19. WS vs. Carlisle/Groveton in 2nd Round

    in High School Football- 2014

    Posted

    Carlisle should beat Groveton, but I'm not 100% sure. West Sabine will take care of either of these teams in the 2nd round. Wolfy, I think SA beats Harleton, but then it's game over. Centerville is no joke. They had a couple early season losses that made everyone question how good they are, but trust me, they are a force to be reckoned with.

     

    Alto will blow through the top half of the bracket beating the LL/Kerens winner in the regional semi's. (I think either of those two beat Union Grove). WS vs. CV will be a good game, but I think Centerville will win. WS (and SA) have more pure athletes that CV, but that offensive line and front 7 is ridiculous.

    Trust me guys, I know it sounds really idiotic. I've seen Groveton play other games that would make me laugh the person out of the room who would make that remark. They've looked worse than pitiful in probably 7 out their 10 games. Remember how bad they were last year but somehow shocked Alto 40-21. They are just like that this year. So inconsistent it's unreal. I won't be surprised if Carlisle doesn't win by 25+. If I had to bet, my money is on Carlisle.....but....and y'all hold me to it.... Groveton can beat PC....by a couple scores. If it happens, y'all heard it here first.

    We will see. The Groveton that HD played, was better than West Sabine. And I promise that not a knock on WS because they are much more consistent and a VERY GOOD team. Groveton beat Shiro handily, who beat Lovelady. HD played competitive ball with WS for the majority of the game. Groveton was up on HD 46-8 in the 2nd quarter. It's all about matchups, and I'm not trying to make this about Hull-Daisetta, because it's obviously not. I just can assure you that Groveton has MUCH more potential than they have shown this season. If you get 'em down by 2TD's, you'll win by 50. If they get some momentum and an early lead, they can play ball.

     

    A 4-6 team that was hammered by Joe, SA, and Centerville (plus the early season slaughters they took) doesn't seem like anything special at all. But just looking at athletes and ability, they can beat Carlisle. I've watched both Indians play on (Carlisle on film) and don't be shocked if Groveton wins.

    Honestly, it depends on which Groveton teams shows up. They are the most Jeckyl and Hyde team I've seen all year. The team that showed up against HD and Anderson Shiro is a dangerous team. The team that played WH last week, and several other games this year, couldn't hang within 5 TD's of West Sabine. I really don't know why they are so inconsistent but Odom and James in the backfield are two very good backs.

     

    If Groveton's A-Team shows up, I promise they'll beat Carlisle.

  25. Some amazing numbers on the Mart Panthers....

    in High School Football- 2014

    Posted

    Of course bored at work and I started thinking about traditional power football programs in the state of Texas. Mart is one of the few programs in the state (if not the only one) who's had sustained success throughout the history of the program.

     

    Mart had undefeated championship teams in the 20's (1929), the 40's (1946), the 50's (1957), and the 60's (1969). The Panthers missed out in the 1930's with two undefeated teams who lost in the regional championship games (before small schools could go to state). (1936 and 1937). Several other playoff teams were mixed in through the decades along with these championship teams for Mart.

     

    The 1970's weren't the best decade for the Panthers, but they did manage a run to the state semi-finals in 1976 before being beat by eventual state champs, the Barbers Hill Eagles.

     

    Mart's success continued into the '80s as the Panthers had 5 seasons of 10 wins or more, including a trip to the state championship game in 1986, falling in the final to Shiner. The Panthers only had one season in the 1980's below .500.

     

    The 1990's is when the Mart program really went to another level. Mart once again enjoyed multiple 10 win seasons, including three trips to the regional finals ('90, '91, and '96). The Panthers would end the decade with a bang going 13-1 in 1998, losing by 2 points to Brookshire Royal in the state semifinals. The Panthers would redeem themselves the following season, by going 15-0 and capturing the state championship in 1999. This team was led by future NFL players Quan Cosby (and brother Quincy) as well as John Garrett.

     

    The Panthers didn't let Y2K affect their success, as the Cosby boys were back at it again in 2000, going 15-1 for the season, losing a heart breaking state championship game to the North Texas legendary powerhouse, the Celina Bobcats. The success hasn't stopped there, and I'll share a little more in depth look at the Panthers over the past 10 years.

     

    2004 - Regional Semi-Finalists

    2005 - Regional Semi-Finalists

    2006 - State Champions

    2007 - Bi-District qualifiers (10-1)

    2008 - State Finalist

    2009 - Regional Finalists

    2010 - State Champions

    2011 - State Semi-Finalists

    2012 - State Finalist

    2013 - State Semi-Finalists

    2014 - ??? (Currently 10-0)

     

    Over this 10 year span, the Panthers have compiled a record of 114 wins and 26 losses. (not counting 2014). There's probably a couple  schools out there that can claim to have only lost 26 games in 10 years (2.5 losses per year) but how many can say they've average 11.5 wins per season, and played exactly 14 games on average per season. (It could be even higher as they received 1st round bye's in 4 of the 10 years).

     

    Of Mart's 18 regular season losses over the past 10 seasons, they have lost 12 of those games by 6 points or less. Eight of the 18 losses have to been to central Texas powers Rogers and Goldthwaite.

     

    Mart has a playoff record of 32-8 over the past 10 seasons. When you average over 3 playoff wins per season for that length of time, that's saying something.

     

    The last tid-bit of information is Mart's district record. The Panthers have compiled a district record of 59 wins and 2 losses since 2004. They lost to Teague in 2004 (34-33) and last lost a district game to Lovelady in 2009 (35-21) (LL went 12-1 that season losing in regional semi's to state champ Cayuga).

     

    Mart is playing in Region II this season, so I'm interested to see how things will turn out. The last time the Panthers went undefeated in the regular season (2007), they were upset in the first round of the playoffs.

     

    Good luck to the Mart Panthers and the rest of the teams in this year's playoffs!!
