I am liking Giddings at #8 to win District 23. I also see Caldwell and Navasota making the playoffs in one of the toughest districts. And of course in 2a I think Cameron should bee a little higher than 8th.

I don't know where LE should be ranked but QB,RB, and half the O line are back. Big question could be WR.
On D lost probably 75% of our experience DB LB wise, but the kids coming up run the same system and the returning DBs all rotated last year. Line should be solid. Kicking game, lost place kicker, punter, probably the best since 06. Lost main return man but if you know LE you know there are 4 or 5 speedsters just waiting for the chance to run one back.

I believe Liberty Hill will slip in at some point during the season. Last year was a learning experience for this team. It has been a good off season and they will be ready. A tough pre-district schedule will help them. LH will be back in the playoffs this year.

Point finished the 2009 Season ranked #8 if 3a.

With the schedule they play in 2010 we will find out and quick if they are deserving of #21...I say they are.

Despite my natural homer-ism, I think I'd probably agree. I'm hoping we step up to the plate, but the level of talent we graduated last year was darn near unprecedented, especially on defense.

this is from an article @ www.victoriaadvocate.com looks like Mason Blaschke is going to get the nod for the QB position.

"Cuero, Yoakum and Goliad will be starting new quarterbacks in the upcoming season and welcomed a chance for them to work on their game.

"We're just trying to get our timing down," said Cuero's Mason Blaschke. "I've got to get timing with my receivers and luckily some of them are in my grade so we have a little bit down, but we've still got to work on it some."

By COY SLAVIK

Record Managing Editor

Rick Owens liked what he saw this month from the Cuero Gobblers’ 7-on-7 football team.

The Gobblers ended their 7-on-7 schedule last Thursday in Yoakum with a 34-12 win over Victoria East and a 26-6 victory over Gonzales to finish with an 8-0 record. On June 15 in Victoria, Cuero defeated Yoakum 42-28 and Victoria West 14-3.

Owens said he was pleased with the performance of quarterback Mason Blaschke, who is expected to replace graduated Tyler Arndt this season.

“Mason started impressing us in the spring during athletic period,” Owens said. “He’s working real hard. He knows he has big shoes to fill. He’s accepting the challenge and becoming a great leader.”

Owens said the 7-on-7 experience helped Blasch-ke and his receivers work on their timing.

“Our receivers did a great job of catching the ball,” Owens said. “Monte Green and Aaron Bell played very well.”

Owens opted not to compete in the state qualifying tournaments so his players could have a rest before beginning preseason workouts on Aug. 2.

Owens’ optimism heading into his first season as the Gobblers’ head coach was also boosted by his team’s ranking in Texas Football Magazine’s Class 3A preseason poll. Cuero, which was 15-1 last season and reached the Division I semifinals, is No. 3, behind only No. 1 Lucas Lovejoy and No. 2 Brownwood.

“The kids are excited, but it’s kind of expected,” Owens said. “The town and community expects to be somewhere up there. They also know that preseason ranking doesn’t mean a whole lot. It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.”

Cuero tight end Tanner Hoffman was named to the magazine’s preseason all-state team. Green is listed among the state’s top 300 players and running back Trent Jackson is one of the magazine’s five “money players” in Class 3A.

Blashke was a QB from 7th - JV*SO* he was moved to WR last season *JR* due to Arndt . He is a very good athlete winning a Gold Medal in the 4x4 Relay at the State Meet as a Sophmore . Cuero will be just fine at this position .

After getting to see the Gobblers this summer, I would say they are loaded on both sides of the ball, O will have a bigger line and both starting WR's back along with FB and RB. On the D side of the ball, they will again be very fast. I look for the Gobblers to make a very deep run to Dallas.

As bad as I hate to admit it, I think Wylie is rated too high. Hope I'm wrong. Graduated 41 Srs. and this yrs Sr. class is 19. 2 starters back on O and 2 on D. ????? I've seen us have a lot more returning starters off of good teams and not be ranked very high. So, I'm just wondering what was different about this year. Not that I give a crap about rankings (Brownwood) but I just find it curious.

Fresh-J...At this point, I am not sure either way. i mean, Wimberley DOES have the talent to be ranked in the Top 10 this early in the season, based on last years performance, based upon returning talent, and then added with the coaching experience. But your comment about it being too high might be accurate when its all said and done due to the "unknown" factor...do these kids REALLY have what it takes as a team to pull it together? I mean, we have seen incredibly talented teams fall apart when they had the same assets (and even much, much more...I refer to the WOS's, Brownwood's, Abilene Wylie's, Gilmer's and Celina's of the 3A world) going into the year. All have/had deep, rich talent pools, tons of experience and great coaching, but the kids just didnt pull it together that particular year.

Wimberley will never have the most talented team on the field, player for player, stat for stat, D1 player for D1 player. Nor will (or did) teams like Liberty Hill, Bandera, and a few others in the past, but yet...they came home with a championship. Why? They came together as a TEAM. Thats the only way Wimberley will remain in the Top 10 when the play offs are finished...I am hoping we will be #1.

I just don't know enough about this "factor" yet to make a "Rocket" like prediction.

True, Keenon has won edge over all 6 man players, I never saw Jack Pardee play, I saw the kid from Richland Springs that like never lost a game, broke all the 6 man records..Ward is D1, and has 4.4 speed, hard to stop in 11 man, nearly impossible to stop in 6 man :D

LOl..no feelings hurt at all...as I said, you might end up being more accurate than what is predicted thus far. By the way, the way I hear it, the new kid might not get the starting position. He is talented, but there might be someone else who beats him out, or the coaches might find him more valuable elsewhere. Not sure yet, is the word I hear.

I see LH going 4-6 overall (3-2 in district).

Last year I shot everyone straight before the season even started and caught a whole lot of hell for it. Then... a couple weeks into the season everyone jumped on board with my thinking. Sadly, I feel like it'll be the same story this year.

I SURE HOPE NOT THOUGH! :clap:

No kidding, fresh J. My honest opinion is that there's a really big chance that our talent on offense will not be best served with our current offensive scheme and with our past "go to" plays. I know Coach Nelms will figure out the best combination, so I predict a substantial change in our offensive footprint. Hopefully, that "footprint" will be all over our opponents jerseys.

He has lived with them for many years. I dont know about the arrangement (whether its an adaption or not). I remember when we were at the State game in 05 I ran into the Blakemores at the TGIF's (I think) and talked to all of them before the game...and Dennis was there at that time. That was the first time I met him personally and the first time I talked to him. i told him that he'll remember that day cuz he'll be there one day too! Sure hope I was right!

There is no doubt he dominated Jr. high football. Kids bounced off of him, assuming they could even touch him. I dont think he had to go at even 80% to get those results. LHPM can attest to that.

But things are different now. He is still big and dominating and a real force...but kids dont bounce off of him like they used to, and he isnt the fastest kid on the field anymore. His size makes up for it, but the competition has grown up too!

He might be, which goes to our earlier discussion of who will be the QB this year. The problem is, he is such a great receiver that its a shame to take that out of our ammo belt. But then again, if we dont have a good QB to get the ball to him...you get the point. The same age-old problem. We have another QB possibility with a kid named Peyton...we shall see.

'06 WOS 46, Kirbvyille 16

Seminole and Monahans will make some noise to be in this mix late this year. Monahans has lot of young skill player talent that stepped up in the playoffs last season specially vs State runner up Graham its the D & O lines that are a ? we shall see Lobo JV goes undefeated every year.
Seminole proved late last year they can play ask Brownwood and return a good group.

The good news for Lobo fans is that Snyder is 0-3 against y'all in
games I attend. :devil:

Oh btw, Notre Dame sucks. Go Maize and Blue! :D

I SURE HOPE NOT THOUGH! :clap:
I hope LH puts together a quality team again next year.

Last year, I was right there with you in thinking the team would have a losing season. Our offense was the worst I had seen it since Vance had arrived.

I just really hope your prediction is wrong this year. I really don't want to witness another losing season. Time will tell how good this team will be and I will save my opinion until after I get a chance to witness some scrimmages. Our pre-district schedule is as tough as they come but if we can improve every week and fight hard I think we will do very well in our district and make a run in the playoffs.

I'm looking for a season like 2006. Probably not a championship season, but lose a couple early. Along the way gain confidence then really bloom when it counts to make a magical type of run in the playoffs. The stage is set for this to happen again. We are traveling to Cuero after all. :D

Well bullaholic, they CAN be as salty as some people think, returning every skill player but losing some linemen, and you know what they say, it's all played in the trenches, so we shall see :cool: how about your Bulls, returning a feisty offence with Henson, huerta, schuett and the o line :clap: ;) but losing ALOT on defence. Only bringing back a couple like Bracken, what do ya think of the bulls :nerd:

You've got a pretty good handle on the Bulls this season, fresh-j. It's shaping up to be one of those "wait-and-see" years. The "O" should be pretty good, and if a couple of kids can step-up on the "D", then we might be pretty good. Our non-district is pretty tough and if we come through that winning more than we lose---then I think we are set to defend the District title well and make a decent playoff run. Can't wait...

I've gotta handle on alotta teams :D. But I agree, I think if B port can get guys like Mullins to replace some of the srs last year, they'll do fine, I don't see a title contention YET...but with Henson guiding them...only time can tel. ;)

LL will be good if their O line holds up. Last year LE had em down by 21, but they came back and won by 1pt in OT. They carried Wylie to the wire before losing at the end. They return almost everyone with the exception of their O line. I don't know if they are #1, but definate top 5.

Depends on what you call P? They added some hardware in the last venture to 3A, I see them doing the same this go around. They will drop again in 2012. We shall rebuild the trophy case when that happens. You know 3's already a crowd!:eek: We have a tuff schedule, also depends who you consider a big dog in these times.

One of LL staple plays was a trap off the left tackle. That and QB scramble accounted for most of their yds. If thats not there then they could be in trouble. With the non district schedule they are playing it should be easy to tell if they are for real or not. I will give them a pass for now.

I think they will be good and I thought they were a number 1 team until I found out they lost the big boys up front and realized how close they played alot of teams.

Im thinking the same thing. I thought thatas soon as DCTF came out. When I saw Celina scrimmage Lovejoy, I didnt think that their jv was very good. Our jv beat them pretty badly. My son was a freshman last year and the Lovejoy freshman team wasnt very big along the lines and I thought the Celina freshmen outplayed them. They will be good with Means and the rest of the skill guys back, but they are not a number one team, maybe not even top 5 in my opinion.

Prosper was a No-Show in that game! Perhaps they felt it would be easy because of how they handled the Farmers earlier in the season and the Farmers beat Lovejoy! I sat amazed the whole game at the poor play of Prosper. Did they look like the team that beat Celina in your opinion?

Good stuff fresh....let's keep this on the "downlow" though. Some eyes will be opened this year with Ward. The good thing is though, he is not the only weapon for Snyder...returning XM who no one saw last year due to injury...had an impressive sophmore season on varstity...plus KG...plus SR...plus numerous more....fun season in store for the Tigers this year.

08-19-2010, 07:41 PM

I'm worried that the Giddings Buffs may be ranked a bit high. I have no kids on the team so I don't have any inside info. I know there are newbies at key positions but this is true with most teams. Don't get me wrong, we have some great atheletes returning. I just hope the pundits are correct and have us up high for a reasons only they might know. I'm also worried (like Phil C) about our preseason schedule.

Here's the rest of our preseason.
Scrimmage against Wimberley.
Burnet
Brookshire Royal
LaVernia
Elgin (always a tough scrappy game against a 4A team)
West Orange Stark

While there are many other tough teams out there, I think our preseason schedule has to be one of the toughest. Hope and pray we get through it injury free.

One thing is for sure, we have a new artificial turf field (I heard it's the same as in the Cowboys' stadium) and hopefully in a couple of years, new stands will be built on the visitors side and then that side will become the home side with extra parking. The other for sure thing is......I AM READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL...GOT EXTREME FRIDAY NIGHT FEVER...Lord help me!
