carthage vs gilmer

If he is from Gilmer, I don't think he's being realistic at all.  Maybe just talking smack.  Gilmer has a ways to go to be a serious contender.  They have the talent and skill, but just haven't put it all together yet.  Carthage will definitely be the best team they have played thus far this year.  I think Gilmer is also the best team Carthage will have played thus far.

This is an interesting matchup, a big test for both teams.  I don't know who will win, but I do know I will be there.  It oughta be epic!

For those wanting to see the game, KGAS puts all the Carthage games on Youtube within a couple of days after the game.  William Greene puts the highlights on Youtube also, but only keeps them up for a couple of days before he moves them to private.

Not from Gilmer just giving my opinion of their strengths and weaknesses. I have watched them all Summer at 7on 7 and that is why they look so good right now but they have not been challenged like Carthage will. This game will be a thriller but i still feel that they are good enough to win their district. If this upsets you then I apologize but it is only my opinion. Gilmer is ok right now and has a long season ahead. I feel as if they are running the score up to prove themselves or achieve some level of validation and I am not a fan of that type of play. If you look at their videos you will see what I am referring to. If you are from Atlanta, then there is no disrespect but your game against Henderson did not leave me with the gut feeling that you were ready t face Gilmers passing attack. Maybe by then you will be but for now the tape does not show your defense credible. The entire game is on Youtube as well vs Henderson and to those who are curious you can view it for youselves and voice your opinion. All in all, I think they have great team speed and can score quickly but Gilmers defense will be exposed Saturday night. I will be there with bells on.

What's funny is last year's game everyone thought would be a shootout. It turned into a defensive slobber knocker with big hits from both side. Luckily we came out on top17-14. 

Both fan bases want to win, both schools want to win........but in the end both coaches will be careful not to ruin a season for the good of one game, that in the end doesn't mean very much.

It will be fun, it will be exciting, it will be what Texas High School football is all about. It just won't have anything to do with a trophy that both teams strive for.

Oh I am sure that we're not ready to face Gilmer right now. You didn't say that Gilmer was good enough to win their district, you said they would win their district. After a 13 year drought to Gilmer, including losing in the Qtr. Finals to them 2 straight years, no opponent can possibly know what Gilmer is capable of more than I. I have also watched Gilmer this season, and I am aware of what their passing game looks like, which is not far from the way it looks every year, consisting of a heavy dose of screens. 

With that being said, Atlanta does need to improve. The Henderson was a very bad showing on several levels, mainly in special teams and offensive line. Do they have the talent to hang with Gilmer? Yes, most definitely. I have to trust that the coaches can get this team in the shape they need to be in, as they did last year when we entered the playoffs with a (6-4) record. 

So I wouldn't give Gilmer the trophy just yet. They may very well win it, but I won't sell my Rabbits out over the blowing the first game of pre-district. I think they are well equipped with enough talent to take on whomever they meet.

We will certainly find out a little more about this Buckeye team this Saturday night.  Putting all the players in the right places on defense is still a work in progress after the heavy losses to graduation on that side of the ball.  Injuries has slowed that progress a little, but they are getting better.  The keys to the game for Gilmer are getting 3rd and 4th downs stops, and stops in general.  They will likely have to have at least 8 to 10 stops in this one.  The offense will certainly have to set the pace, and try and make it a shootout.  If that happens, I like Gilmer's chances.

Gladewater looks pretty tough this year, too.  That game oughta be interesting.

No offense HellRazor but you dang near mirrored my original comments about Gilmer with a few additions! At the end of the day no offense was meant but you confirmed what I originally stated! Your first showing on defense did not portray that of a team ready for Gilmer! I also stated that you may be ready by then and you said the same! Atlanta is a very talented program! I had them in my top 6 in preseason and still do! This is an early season assessment and will change as the year progresses! Good luck to you sir and those Rabbits! I only wish the best for all the young men that play the game!

Thank you sir. We will see how it pans out. Hopefully they get everything ironed out and ready for district.

what is the latest line on this game?  

Carthage has to be the favorite. If I was a betting man .......... and I am.........I would be taking Carthage and giving the points. But since I'm also a fan, I'll be there pulling for my Buckeyes. If we lose, it won't be the beat all end all, but we will find out a lot about our team tonight.

    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.

    • The game will be live streamed for those that have Game Changer under the Chester team thread.  I believe the radio station out of Palestine will have radio broadcast.
