I always enjoy the Stephenville week even though they have had a huge advantage of the last 25 years, that game is alway a great one to look forward to.

I enjoy Sweetwater. Since I've been around awhile I have seen many hard battles from back in the 4A days. Sweetwater usually plays us tough and clean and the towns are close in size and fan support. Couple that with a game in the Mustang Bowl with Sweetwater in all Red and Brownwood in White..... :thinking:

[Bullaholic]

Playoff teams that you have played before can also be included in your list. I included Monahans in the Bulls list as both playoff games were classics.

I agree. Wylie/Sweetwater has always been a good HEALTHY rivary with mutual respect between coaches, players, and communities. Gotta love playing in Mustang Bowl (even if you can't pee in the floor anymore).... well, I guess you still can, but there's no trough there to catch it anymore.:D

[GrTigers6]

Kennedale- Because its always a good game no matter who wins
West - Because it always has a meaning, district title, playoff spot, etc
China Spring- Because one of these days we are gonna beat those guys :D :D :D

Oh and playoff teams I enjoyed
Wimberly- obviously after last years game, The best game i ever saw that we lost.
Prosper- Another great game

Pleasant grove- Got family there! :D

[Sweetwater Red]

That's easy. I prefer to watch us play teams we have traditionally dominated like...

Snyder
Brownwood
Monahans
Big Spring
Bridgeport
Andrews
Lamesa
Pecos
SA Lakeview
Lubbock Estacado
Fort Stockton
Midland Greenwood
Decatur
Canyon
Graham
Seminole
Levelland
Iowa Park

There are more. That's just all I can think of off the top of my head. :D

[sinton66]

I enjoyed our two playoff games with Bellville. I enjoyed the first one more than the last one, though. Both were close contests.
I really enjoyed the 2001 championship game against Everman. Got to be my all time favorite.

I got a chance to watch that on DVD. It was a very good game.
I found myself rooting for Sinton even though I knew the
outcome. :doh:

I'd have to look at our team history page. But, I believe we have
a better winning % against Abilene High than we do Wylie.

Football -

Bellville

Basketball-

Waller- probably the toughest place to place in my day.
Conroe OakRidge
Brenham

[icu812]

Grand Saline-because its always the first game of the year and it's been 10 yrs. since we lost

Canton-because I would rather beat them than anybody

Brownsboro-traditional rival and always a great game

Lindale-but they have our number lately

Those are our biggest rivals but I wish we would schedule Gilmer. It's been a long time since we played them in football. Although we play them in baseball and basketball. Probably would go to well but I'd still like to see it.

[Pudlugger]

La Grange:

Giddings
Bellville
Sealy
Yoakum
Forney:D

[LH Panther Mom]

Anybody that we own. :devil:

[CHS_89]

Pilot Point... for the storied rivalry (we need to even the overall record at some point)
Liberty Hill... to watch their offense (Hopefully I will be able to tell who has the ball)
Prosper...to...well...maybe next re-alignment...
Daingerfield...0 and 3 vs. them all time...maybe they will let us win at least one
Gunter...nah...no way they will play us
Aubrey...to watch mentor vs. mentee
Gainesville...but only if we get to water the field down, not mow the grass so it will be knee high, and hire our own officials to throw the game.
...
and finally,
Brownwood...so we can get it out of the way so I don't have to read a bunch of smack about who is the better team on the 3ADL!

[oldtownag]

Henderson Lions

Carthage and Henderson are seperated by less than 30 miles. They have been longtime rivals in 3A, 4A, and now back to 3A.

[slpybear the bullfan]

In the past...

1.) Decatur
2.) Kennedale
3.) Monahans


Going forward?

1.) Decatur
2.) Decatur
3.) Decatur

[WOS87]

Perusing old threads and came across this one from 2010 and reopened it. Would your lists have changed in the past six years? For WOS I'd put:

1. Giddings -always back and forth
2. Jasper - although they refused to play us this year
3. Silsbee
4. Gilmer - as painful as both matchups were we at least made them sweat
5. PNG -always a classic
6. La Marque -will likely never happen again but there were some battles

Would adore to see Sinton, Cuero, Carthage, Navasota, La Vega and Celina again (with everyone healthy)

[44INAROW]

Sad seeing some of these names of those no longer with us :(

[Rabid Cougar]

DID enjoy.
Taylor - never lost to them
Caldwell
Hearne
AND Rockdale!


Present day
Lorena
Robinson
Gatesville
Connally
LaVega

[toddg]

Alvarado:
back in my days at AHS.. Cedar Hill, Midlothian, Aledo, Red Oak.

now..Stephenville, Decatur, Kennedale, and always liked Bridgeport.
future.. Looks like Midlothian Heritage may get heated

[regaleagle]

As an Argyllian from the first season forward.....
1. Celina
2. Abilene Wylie
3. Prosper
4. Gilmerites
5. Decatur

[bd62]

Cuero
Sinton
Lagrange
Giddings
Hallettsville

All great programs for many yrs and you better be on top of your game to beat them. Also Class Acts.

[slingshot]

Sweetwater--too bad they won't play us anymore...
Brownwood--nuff said
Argyle--to get better you gotta play great teams (hear that Sweetwater?)
Stephenville--just kills those folks when we beat their a**
Graham--too bad did not play this year--a great little rivalry was developing...
Liberty Hill--games are always close and physical, they give your defense a workout

[hollywood]

brownwood--nuff said
stephenville--just kills those folks when we beat their a**


lol!

I think the series is 3-2 Stephenville

[slingshot]

lol!

I think the series is 3-2 StephenvilleSoon to be 3-3 with Wylie winning the last 3 in a row...

[hollywood]

Soon to be 3-3 with Wylie winning the last 3 in a row...

Very well could be my friend. But don't count your eggs just yet... anything can happen on any given Friday night. Even miracles! :D

[slingshot]

True... but I like our chances. Barring major injuries Wylie doesn't get seriously challenged until probably the third round of the playoffs against Argyle IMHO. We started off shaky the first two games with new starters at every skill position but have improved every week since. This team has the size, speed (rare for us) and depth to be VERY good.

Typical Wylie mindset. This is why you guys never make it to game 16.

That's not why.

[d0tc0m]

This is a great thread to have resurrected, though. It's fun to look back through it and see where things are now.

As a Celina fan, my (current) favorite teams to play are:

1. Argyle -- such a solid program. Great coach, great players, great fans. Always a crowd-pleasing matchup, regardless of outcome.
2. Gilmer -- I enjoy watching their offense, and watching how defensive coordinators plan against it. I also like that they always bring such a big crowd. Makes for a fun environment.
3. ...

There aren't many matchups that feel like they have their own identity anymore. Not many true rivalries for the Bobcats right now, other than Argyle.


Teams I enjoyed playing when I was in HS:

1. Pilot Point -- Used to be one of the best rivalries in the state. I was a sophomore in 2002, when G.A. left us to go back to Pilot Point, and when we played at their place with the streak on the line in the midst of the second coming of the flood. We won 10-0, and it was a struggle. Great game.
2. Prosper -- there was never any love lost between us and the Eagles. Even though we used to beat the snot out of them every single year.
3. Argyle -- only played them once, my senior year in 2004
4. Hamilton -- two good playoff matchups while I was in HS
5. Whitewright -- same thing


Teams I wish Celina would play:

1. Pilot Point -- I know this one is likely not happening for the foreseeable future, but man, my nostalgia for this matchup is strong.
2. Prosper -- With them being a massive school now, they'd likely control this matchup, but it'd be a good pre-district test for the Bobcats most years
3. Any of the traditional Div. I east Texas powers -- great way to get better in pre-district and prepare for the east come playoff time
4. Liberty Hill -- nostalgia
5. China Spring -- nostalgia

Don't seem to have any trouble beating you though...

[Ville-D]

Don't seem to have any trouble beating you though...

That's not saying much the last 2 years... Its easy to kick a man when he's down. Tide will turn.

Just FYI, there was no game 16 for division 1 teams in any of the 3 state championship appearance seasons for Wylie, but thanks for the cute remark. So sweet. Good to see you are an expert on the "typical Wylie mindset". :rolleyes:

With a TD that wasn't? Sure.

[slingshot]

With a TD that wasn't? Sure.Figured you would show up on this one LOL... We won. End of story.
