If HD can quit fumbling the football, the sky is the limit in District and playoffs.  

As long as they play teams that are terrible with no talent they should reduce the fumbles. I predict that the fumbles return when they play Centerville.

89Falcon, in the case of the West Sabine game, one of the fumbles was a true forced fumble, as the WS player made a perfect overhand strip from behind causing Doucett's fumble which supports your opinion. DeBlanc's fumble could go either way. He was fighting for extra yards taking on about three kids and the ball came loose. The other two fumbles had nothing to do with "superior talent" or whatever you like to quote. Young sophomore just put the ball on the ground nearly untouched. There is some truth to good defenders causing turnovers due to speed, size, technique and athleticism, but wasn't necessarily the case in HD vs WS.

For the record..good teams can force "unforced" fumbles too.

Just because he was untouched doesn't mean it wasn't caused. He was probably nervous about something. Continuous tackling by superior athletes will make your mind wonder.

You guys are funny. Definitely some truth in what Falcon and oldschool is saying, but I think the "superior athletes" thing is just pushing it a little too far lol. We were playing the West Sabine Tigers, not the LSU Tigers. The difference in athleticism was minimal. Don't get me wrong, Williams, Smith, Wilson, Duffey, and Fore are all good athletes, but not like they're that much better than DeBlanc, Huckabay, Doucett, Rayon, and Hopkins. DeBlanc had 100+ yards rushing and fumbled... Maughn was averaging about 8 yards a carry when he dropped it twice. Don't think that adds up to playing superior athletes.

 

And Woflie your right. if the Cat's fumble 4 or 5 times in their own  territory against Groveton or anyone left on HD's schedule, they have a big probability of losing.
