Prosper rolls!!!!
Love joy had a problem with Farmersville. Prosper went through Farmersville........ Prosper has a bit of payback in mind for Lovejoy for knocking out the girls volleyball. It should be a good game for the Eagles.

[alaskacat]

Prosper pretty easily

[Charlie47]

Plano's Clark Stadium

[ssgmp5150]

The one thing I can say is do not count head to head comparisons! Lovejoy and Farmersville both whooped Quinlan Ford and look what they did in the 1st round, dominating what was reported to be a superior Van team! Farmersville played Lovejoy on a very muddy and wet field and that negated a lot of Lovejoy's speed and big play ability. The Farmersville vs Prosper game was much closer than what the score indicated! Prosper's defense is very very good! However, their offense is average at best! They are going to have to score some points to keep up with Lovejoy. Prosper's run defense is stout, but I think their pass defense is susceptible. I think Lovejoy actually has a chance in this one! They are going to be hard pressed to score against Prosper's defense, but they will not have to score a lot of points to win. I think their offense will be able to score 21 points on Prosper, so the question is whether or not Prosper can score 21 points or greater on Lovejoy's defense????? At the beginning of the season, I would have said that Prosper rolls Lovejoy, but now I think that Prosper should win, but it might be a very close ballgame! I say Prosper wins 21-17.

[bobcat4life]

Prosper wins it by 14-21 points.

[eagle12]

Prosper whipped Farmersville, why can't you get over it? you always try to talk up that game, i think it will be a good game however i feel that we will pull away from lovejoy... 28-7

20 pts to 4A Frisco Liberty and 21 pts to Liberty-Eylau, they won both games.:clap:

[Charlie47]

Does anybody know who the home team is?:confused:

[bobcat4life]

Stats do not mean a whole lot. Prosper is much more talented and will win. And when we scrimmaged Lovejoy, they didnt have a whole lot of speed. We were faster than they were. Prosper is easily 3 touchdowns better than Lovejoy.

[ssgmp5150]

You are entitled to your opinion just as I am mine and I say the game was much much much closer than what the score indicated!!! So, with that said, I think Lovejoy will make it close, but Prosper should still win.

You may well be right about the stats. I can tell you this. It has been a long time since that scrimage, things have changed. I
also know that the Liberty-Eylau folks told us how much speed
they had, how slow Lovejoy was. However, after the LE game,
the radio announcer said, tonight the Liberty-Eylau boys were not the fastest boys on the field". I also know that Lovejoy won't quit. It might just be a better game than people think.

I can guarantee these stats are not worth a hill of beans. There has not been very many games this year that Prosper's starters have played long past the first series of the 3rd quarter. The stats are not important to them. winning it all is what counts.

Woa Woa, hoss! I made NO statement that stats meant anything to EITHER team. For that matter, Lovejoy has pulled their starters
in several games also. I believe I said that the stats might create
interest and make the game more interesting.:rolleyes:

[lulu]

i pick prosper:) LJ going down.

[slingshot]

Both impressive... both probably faster than us (isn't everybody;) ).

Prosper played the 2nd and 3rd string before half time. The starters were off the field resting. No starter went in in the 4th quarter. I would not be getting to excited that the game wasn't more of a blow out. Lovejoy lost to Farmersville the district is not as competitive so that stats don't show a true picture.

[LE Dad]

Normally I would say any team that beats LE would win but Lovejoy suffered several injuries late in the game and I just don't know how healthy they will be. I think it will be close though. Low scoring game will go to Prosper.:clap: :clap:

What type of injuries did they suffer?:thinking:

[LE Dad]

Originally posted by bowleghorses
What type of injuries did they suffer?:thinking: 2 LBs had lower leg injuries, 1 returned heavily taped, the other came back in and was reinjured. I don't believe he came back in after 3rd qtr. 2 lineman were knocked unconscious and had to be assisted from field. One was a 2 way starter and the other I believe was a O lineman only. It could be enough to affect the outcome. I did not see them run any traps after the starters went out and that was a big part of their game plan.

Lovejoy is a solid team. They will run 4-5 wide and scramble the QB out for good yardage, run a pretty good trap play, and have an avg passing game. The main thing that killed LE was QB scramble. They do make mistakes under pressure.
Defense moves to ball and is vulnerable to misdirection. Pass D is good.

[waterboy]

I look for Prosper to win by 7 to 14 points.

BTW, I saw some of what looked to be football players from Prosper at the Gilmer/La Vega game Saturday. They were sitting on the La Vega side.:thinking: Scouting a possible future opponent?:thinking: They looked a little worried......:D

[charlesrixey]

Prosper struggled last week against Alvarado but pulled it out 13-8.

Lovejoy beat TLE in what some might consider an upset in last week's GOTW, 42-41.

This one should be an excellent matchup between a very fast Lovejoy team and the very strong defensive Eagles.

[garciap77]

Prosper! By 2 TD!

[bowleghorses]

You could see the worry on their face all the way from the other side of the field? I doubt they were worried, they gunna be the underdog if they make it that far, just like last year. Noone picked them to win last year either.:D :D :D

No doubt they were thinking finally a team that will be a real challenge. Prosper is use to being the under dod in this fight. Last year they were picked to lose in every round of the play-offs. Whose got the ring?????? Prosper has two real challenges AW and Gilmer. The Buck's had great defense but as I said earlier not as fast . Prosper's offense is going to really need to step it up. That is the thing about Prosper they just keep stepping up. This is Texas high school football and the team that wants it more can step up and take the win. Any of these teams could be done this week. I am just counting on Prosper wanting it more than the other players. They lost a lot of talent and size this year, but still manage to beat the other teams. They are a team of ONE not super stars.

[bowleghorses]

I heard that...:clap: :clap: :clap:

[waterboy]

I've never even thought about ordering rings in ANY year in the past, nor am I even thinking about it this year.:eek: Too many GOOD teams left that will have a little say-so in anybody's plans. About the only thing I've said is that I like our chances this year........more so than in any year in the past.;)

Anybody that is going to play Gilmer needs to be worried. They are way out east for me to see them live but what hightlights i have seen from internet these guys are the real deal. I am just glad they are in D1 so my boys Da Graham Steers can take the small school title.

Sorry 2-3A brothers. But I will be at your state title game rooting for ya.

I voted for Prosper and will every week until someone knocks of the champ.

As soon as I see a Carthage poll, I'll do the same thing, for the same reason.

[alaskacat]

One thing about Gilmer..they somehow always manage to shoot them selves in the foot. I vote they go for it on 4th and 1 many times:)...again

Look there is nothing close about 27-0. Prosper plays good d and has a decent secondary. They play ball controll and have played very good defenses in Argyle and Celina which accounts for their averages in offense. Nobody Lovejoy has played has defenses as good as the top 3 in 9 3a. And that is what you have to account for. Lovejoy will not stop Prosper enough and Prosper will control and contain Lovejoy. I give Lovejoy the benefit of the doubt and say they may score twice. 27 14. or 27 7.

I like Prosper but The buckeyes get the nod this year. AW will not beat Prosper however if Prosper can play mistake free. So I believe we will see a Prosper Gilmer final with the buckeyes getting the win. Prosper's defense just wont be able to stop them. I doubt Argyle or Celina would fair any better and those are the best 3 defenses in region 1 and 2.

[Charlie47]

I thought this was the Prosper Vs Lovejoy Leopards game thread. They may well get to play another team BUT FIRST
Prosper has to play the Lovejoy Leopards. I hope they are taking the Leopards for granted as much as some of you are. If you have something to offer about this game please do so.

Now how confident do you feel after Argyle's loss?

People in this town need to stop getting the "big head" and smell the coffee, take every game seriously. :doh:

[bowleghorses]

As long as the players and the coaches take care of business one game at a time, they will be ok.:)

[ssgmp5150]

After watching PG take down the "mighty" Argyle Egales tonight, I have to wonder if perhaps Prosper just had a bad night against Argyle during their district game, because if not.....Well, then I really am starting to like Lovejoy's chances Saturday night in Plano!!!! Go Leopards!!!! Represent 13-AAA baby!!!!

[bowleghorses]

We will see tomorrow.

[LE Dad]

Liberty Eylau and Pittsburg both dominated PG. Argyle was completely controlled by PG and was lucky the score was not worse. I still am not sure how healthy Lovejoy will be but I think Prosper could be in for a battle:confused: :confused:

[bowleghorses]

Goes to show you every game the matchups change. Always a different ballgame.

I totally agree! As I said earlier it comes down to who wants it the most. Any team can go down at anytime at any level. It just comes down to who wants it the most and can take control on the field. Don't know what went down with Argyle but would guess they might have been a bit over confident.

Confidence on and off the field.

If Prosper can't they will have a long game ahead of them. Lovejoy has twice the team PG does.

I feel that #17 will take care of that and the QB may not be as mobile after they meet. He is a sophomore and the real deal. Then you have got #44,&#8. Prosper's defense can and will take care of business. I offense will need to step it up and be ready to move against LJ defense. If #7 breaks free he is gone. This is the play-offs and every game is about stepping up. Prosper plans to do just that.....

Wouldn't a team have to at least score 1 point in a game and prevent the opposing team from scoring any points to say that? Get REAL!! The only things close about that game was the proximity of Prosper to Farmersville and the fact that we took our feet off your throat in about the 3rd quarter.

[Charlie47]

The Lovejoy Leopards will be healthy -1. I will pray that
we have a great game and that neither team will have any injuries. Prosper is a great program and Lovejoy is blessed
to be at this point. I know my Leopards will play hard and
not quit.:clap: :D

[ssgmp5150]

Please don't get me started....I will simply say that Prosper was no doubt the better team and leave it at that. Just like your district champion Argyle Eagles went down like a bag of rocks last night to a team we just darn near beat! So, again the game was closer than the score indicated! I like Lovejoy's chances tonight! I think you guys will get to know a fella by the name of Michael Means quite well tonight. Go Lovejoy represent 13-AAA!!!!

If Lovejoy made it this far into the playoffs I can tell you, as can anyone else, that they have plenty of will and confidence.
That quote can be applied to any team still playing in the Playoffs at this moment.

That is my point. It comes down to more than stats, more than talent, more than ratings....... Wether you are for one team or another. At this point it comes down to putting it all together and having the confidence desire and will to accomplish anything.
Good luck to the Prosper Eagles!!!! May they have what it takes to accomplish it on the field tonight. May their town support them win or lose. These boys are pulling together as a team and believing in themselves even when others don't. I am proud to support them as I am sure that those for LJ, Celina, Argyle, Gilmer, Navasota, Farmersville, Wimberly, and the list goes on. This is play-offs there will be up sets the undefeated will be defeated. The under dog will take the upset. There is something magical about watching 15-18 year olds dig deep within their selves as a team and as an individual. If being confident and proud of what they accomplish on and off the field is not appreciated by their fans. It is certainly more of a problem for those who tear down those who support them.

Keep stepping up!!!!!!!!

I would like my crow pie with peas,carrots and celery. Love Joy had the desire to dig deep and bring it. Congrats! Good Luck against AW!!!

[eagles26]

It finallly showed Coach Scott and the offense of Prosper had no idea what they were doing tonight. The defense played well but as usual the offense had no answers for Lovejoy's package. Good coaches always have an answer for what the other team throws at them. It was obvious that the Eagle Coaching Staff was out-coached. I wonder if they will fire Coach Scott for underachieving? Because the better team did not win tonight. They were flatly out-coached. I wonder how good Prosper would be with a real coach that has a real backbone.

Congratulations and Good Luck to the Leopards.

Goodnight

I would rather die than root for Prosper. I hate that town and those obnoxious fans. I heard them from across the field mouthing, and twice heard them cheer when Lovejoy players went down with injurues. You should hear their fans- worst I've seen. I hate those people.

I went to the game and sat on the Prosper side. II never heard a peep when the LL persons were down, except quiet concern.

As far AS THE GAME WENT in the first half, Prospers #7 ran at will. He has more moves than a Maytag, and with his juking and side stepping proved an elusive target for the defenders. LL was playing a 4-3 most of this time and Prosper was blocking well, so Prosper controlled things for the most part.

The 2nd half was quite different. LL moved to a 4-5 and had 9 in the box most of the way. Prosper kept trying to run inside and got crushed, really crushed.

The completed afew passes and moved the ball but then would go back to the same old give it to #7 in the middle and it went no where.

In the 4th quarter they tried passing...but those sideline passses have to get there with zip on them to work right. It would be a 2 yd pass that looked in slow motion, and the LL safety seemed to outrun the ball and would arrive at the same time, and at best the play would go for two yards. if that.

Prosper became totally predictable...try and run on first down...out pass on 2nd down, confusion on third down, and punt. Clock management was terrible..

Lovejoy made the adjustments at halftime, and then went out there executed and stuck it in Prospers ear...in this case the best coached team won. As far as athletes, it was a tossup. Lovejoy got the nod in depth. Next realignment they will be 4A as they are over 1000 now.

Well that's the way I saw it.

If Lovejoy don't win it this year, they will be awhile when they step up to 4A

Remeber this is their first group of seniors in a 3 year varsity program..so hats off to Lovejoy for a job well done and a program in the making.

So good luck Leopards. I wish you the best in the weeks to come, as Prosper oils up their tennies and hits the BB court and works on their passing game:)

I was surprised at their passing proficancy. Man that #17 is
awesome, what an athlete! Juan Williams is a fantastic back.
Our defense really was fortunate to stop him. Congrats on a great year.:clap:

Guess they really rolled didn't they there rolltider! Way to go Leopards! Way to represent 13-AAA! You guys showed the heart of a true champion in the 2nd half dominating the defending AAA DI State Champs! Good luck against Abilene Wylie.

Love joy had a problem with Farmersville. Prosper went through Farmersville........ Prosper has a bit of payback in mind for Lovejoy for knocking out the girls volleyball. It should be a good game for the Eagles.

[ssgmp5150]

Surprise....Surprise....Wasn't quite that easy huh...

Prosper counted head to head matchups! Look how that worked out for em! Sorry shoving a little humble pie at some of the Prosper posters on here!

The one thing I can say is do not count head to head comparisons! Lovejoy and Farmersville both whooped Quinlan Ford and look what they did in the 1st round, dominating what was reported to be a superior Van team! Farmersville played Lovejoy on a very muddy and wet field and that negated a lot of Lovejoy's speed and big play ability. The Farmersville vs Prosper game was much closer than what the score indicated! Prosper's defense is very very good! However, their offense is average at best! They are going to have to score some points to keep up with Lovejoy. Prosper's run defense is stout, but I think their pass defense is susceptible. I think Lovejoy actually has a chance in this one! They are going to be hard pressed to score against Prosper's defense, but they will not have to score a lot of points to win. I think their offense will be able to score 21 points on Prosper, so the question is whether or not Prosper can score 21 points or greater on Lovejoy's defense????? At the beginning of the season, I would have said that Prosper rolls Lovejoy, but now I think that Prosper should win, but it might be a very close ballgame! I say Prosper wins 21-17.

[ssgmp5150]

LOL!!!!

[ssgmp5150]

LOL!!!! Argyle, Prosper, Celina???? All done!

Stats do not mean a whole lot. Prosper is much more talented and will win. And when we scrimmaged Lovejoy, they didnt have a whole lot of speed. We were faster than they were. Prosper is easily 3 touchdowns better than Lovejoy.

[ssgmp5150]

Our district is not competitive huh???? Pleasant Grove would have beaten Prosper, Argyle, Celina, Lovejoy, etc...DI is a lot easier of a path to a state title this year than DII!!!

Prosper played the 2nd and 3rd string before half time. The starters were off the field resting. No starter went in in the 4th quarter. I would not be getting to excited that the game wasn't more of a blow out. Lovejoy lost to Farmersville the district is not as competitive so that stats don't show a true picture.

[ssgmp5150]

They scored more than twice! LOL!!!!

Look there is nothing close about 27-0. Prosper plays good d and has a decent secondary. They play ball controll and have played very good defenses in Argyle and Celina which accounts for their averages in offense. Nobody Lovejoy has played has defenses as good as the top 3 in 9 3a. And that is what you have to account for. Lovejoy will not stop Prosper enough and Prosper will control and contain Lovejoy. I give Lovejoy the benefit of the doubt and say they may score twice. 27 14. or 27 7.

[ssgmp5150]

Spot on LE.....Spot on!!!

Liberty Eylau and Pittsburg both dominated PG. Argyle was completely controlled by PG and was lucky the score was not worse. I still am not sure how healthy Lovejoy will be but I think Prosper could be in for a battle:confused: :confused:

[eagle12]

This is exactly why no one one this site likes you, ssgmp, you are a piece of crap, prosper still made it farther than your farmers so how does that feel?

[ssgmp5150]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just calling out a couple of the posters on here....That's all!!! My comments are not directed to everyone on here, just the ones quoted in particular....lol :stirpot:

[ssgmp5150]

Besides.....It is not like I am fishing buddies with anyone on here, nor do I want to take nice hot showers with anyone on here, swap spit with anyone, etc. to include yourself, so I could care less who likes me and who doesn't! Still chuckling to myself...lol

well you are wrong. tell me the horn they blow every time they pick up a first down isnt annoying? and when fans are yelling "kill 'em" and "stomp on their throats" when up 31-14, and there is only 5 minutes left in the game, how is that a class act? And after a touchdown to make it 38-14, players are pointing to the crowd yelling, "easy! this is easy!" and mocking the other players? That aint class and prosper doesnt have class either.

Here ia an idea: talk to them and tell them your from Celina. Then come back and tell me if they have class. Heck, I talked to 3 different Celina people during the second half who got tired of their obnoxious fans and came to the Lovejoy side. You dont know class if you think Prosper has it.

[bobcat4life]

did anyone know that one of the Prosper assistants told the Lovejoy horn operator to quit using their horn so much? Prosper used theirs twice as much as Lovejoy, which made me mad that a coach, who should be held to higher standards than that, would make such an assinine comment.

[ssgmp5150]

It was definately annoying!!!

It was definately annoying and painful!:mad:

[rolltider]

It would be nice if every town had 100% of fans with class. I am seeing that every town has an group of idiots. Congrats to the boys that are still playing!!!! Congrats to the teams that played into the play-offs. No team that made it this far and to those who didn't get to the play offs. Learn how to find that desire to play and live life as a challenge, because there are always jerks trying to knock you down.
