I was talking to someone at the state title game here Saturday about Gray. says he's the best RB he's ever seen out of the DFW area  :o
[/quote]

He's the best RB that I've ever seen....Incredible balance, speed, power, and vision.....he's the complete back!
[/quote]Better than Nance (Trinity) or Luna (SLC) or Da'Bryan Blanton (Forney)?
[/quote]

Yes, better than all three of them....

Nance was probably the closest to him
Luna was great, but he had such a great team around him that teams couldn't focus on him
Blanton is still the fastest football player that I've ever seen...unreal speed!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Blanton was .......I cant think of a word for him. I just wish he had more size, if he had that along with his speed, best RB out of Texas since Hall IMO.


How's Gray ankle?

[stevieray]

I believe it was his knee slowing him down a bit, but he should be fine for the game

[/quote]heck he was a beast being hurt. a healthy Gray and Wright will cause a epic game IMO

I believe FoxSports is showing all 5a & 4a state title games live.

Hate to disapoint all you Aledo fans but Aledo almost got spanked by Poteet ? And Poteet's  QB played with a bad leg the whole 2nd half and they are'nt nearly as stacked as LM Aledo might win but I would'nt bet the bank on it !

How does a team win a game and almost get "spanked" at the same time?

the fact that they can even do that speaks to how good Aledo truly is.  :D

[rollinac]

Haven't seen Aledo live so I'll be guessing. 
1.  All the talk about J Gray who looks pretty good on film.  Not sure he'll even be the best rb on the field for this game though.
2.  LM has been able to stop the run without loading the box....can they do that against Aledo? 

Don't see this being a blowout for either side. 

[stevieray]

Gray will get his yards....the kid is a beast!  How is LM's RB doing?  I heard he was banged up a little.

couple bad ankles and I've heard a fractured heal.

I think he is getting stronger though. Looked good to me on the video from Calallen. I think he'll get his as well. You saw he was on the 1st team all-state apse team too. This should be a heck of a game. That LM D is tough. Aledo will have to be diverse.... which I know they are more than capable.

Here's where I don't know enough about Aledo...LM has the [u]talent[/u] on defense to stop Gray straight up without any gimmicks, not saying they will but....if they do does Aledo have enough other options on offense to still win.  Aledo could completely shut down Tim Wright and still give up 50.

No,we do not have anyone else on our team except for Gray.  We are very one dimensional.  But please, make sure you do not let anyone from La Marque know this!

This is true, I didn't see any other threats last year.  (yes i'm aware that Bishop was hurt) They scored 5 TD's on us, 4 of them were by Gray. (3 of those were on runs of 20+) The defense was very good however, but they were very one dimensional on offense.  Only thing is, that one dimension is very good.

Interesting claim -- that LM will put up 50 on Aledo "even if Wright is shut down."  Especially interesting since I believe the most points LM scored in a game this year was 48. BTW, Aledo and LM have comparable rushing and passing yards per game -- Aledo averages about 30 more rushing yards per game and 30 more total yards per game.

Looking forward to seeing Wright haul the rock at Jerry World.  Hope both teams play well and we have an injury free game.  Safe travel to all.

Really?  A fractured heal, and STILL playing?  Man,  If I get a hangnail, I take a week off!    That's pretty tuff!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Wright will be ok

[biaplayer]

pulling for lamarque but think teams are evenly matched. I think the coogs by 7  -  35-28

[RCOLE68]

Aledo-35 La Marque-28 Pulling for La Marque- key to the game IMO is Bishop Aledo QB who can pass and run. The QB that has the best game wins this one (least turnovers and yardage). Both RB's will get their 100+ yards. Good luck LaMarque!!!!
