Is Abilene Wylie Really that Good?

[Rocket]

When Brownwood won their 7 State Championships, 6 were won in 3A and 1 in 4A. Brownwood was at the top of the food chain. Large enrollment and had legendary coaches. A lot like your present day Wylie program. Brownwood had good kids, good homes, and big 'ol farm fed boys... they played hard and played together.

My question is this... If Abilene Wylie is so dang good, why haven't they won more State Championships? I guess if you are happy going 3 Rounds deep every year, it's ok...but I would figure by now, with their formula and enrollment and type of kids, they would have done gone and won 10 SC's? What's missing? :) HAHA

#1. Quit living in the past.
#2. Perhaps there's better talent\competition that the bulldogs compete again year in and year out.

Who's living in the past? Just making a comparison. And your #2 argument isn't relevant. Brownwood played in the comparable present day system. Just like Wylie does today. Give me a decent argument.

[RMAC]

29 and soon to be 30 years is living in the past. Reagan had been in office 11 months the last time brownwood won state. I'm just going to guess at numbers but you have more than twice as many teams in the playoffs and who knows how many more high schools to compete against. Do you want to look at how many more people live in texas now than 30 years ago? Or how about the 60s when the lions started winning a lot? Hopefully you see my point now you asked a question and I answered it. Probably not the answer you'd hoped for but a logical answer nonetheless.

[Emerson1]

Didn't Wylie win state in '05 or '04?

Winning championships 30 years ago doesn't affect if you are good today or not.

haha, realy 29years???? ya, think its safe to say its a whole diff ballgame these days. so many diffrent factors now. ill give him credit tho, being game week this board has been a little to nice to each other, ill give it to him for stiring the pot a little.

If the answer you are looking for is "No, they are not that good" then the conclusion is that since dropping to 3A, Brownwood is 0-2 against a mediocre program. Not to mention that their most recent loss to Wylie was a spanking. :devil:

Did you know that only 1 team went to the playoffs then? The playoffs are freakin watered down today. 50% of the teams don't really deserve to be there anyway due to half of the teams in some districts gettin to go! The first 2 weeks are just filtering out the "don't belongs" anyway. When the Brownwood won their 7, the best of the best of each district went on to play post season. Now tell me it was way easier then than now. Please! :hand:

Rocki.....since you choose to live and celebrate in the past - one might also wonder why lil ol' Sweetwater has owned the Lions on a historical basis? And if you really want to go after Wylie and their DOMINATE Program....you might wanna re-think that one....I doubt Wylie goes out and recruits like Brownwood was able to do in their hay day.....But then again that's all in the past....Presently you have a number one ranking and a HUGE target on your chest...Looking back in the past ( where you choose to live ) how has Brownwood responded when there were huge expectations? 3-7! But boy you sure entertained us....Is there a state trophy for that?

If you only knew, how some parents from Abilene avoid sending their students to Wylie to play football. They believe 3A hurts their kid's chance of play college football.

You're correct. I think Matt Preston would have gotten a scholarship to a big school had he played at Abilene High or Cooper. He didn't get any help from the coaches at Wylie to advance his career at the next level, which is a shame. Steve Warren at Abilene High would have worked to help this kid get some recognition for his contribution to the program.

[Bosqueville]

Watch out! The sky may be falling. I just saw a Wylie poster say something negative about the Wylie program!! Has that ever happened??

[Bullaholic]

You know, this thread probably made some roll their eyes, but I am glad to see a thread like this----about traditional Texas high school football rivaly with folks citing records, past season glories, present season prospects, and arguing football much like they did years ago in coffeeshops and cafes across this state. To me this is the essence for which this board was created. No "Your team sucks" arguments here----mostly facts and some brags---and I for one, am glad.

Brownwood's rich history, and Abilene Wylie's rise to excellence represent two of the best programs out there, and I am going to enjoy following both this season---it's going to be grand, folks.

It seems to me that Sphinctifer and the boys aren't going to bat for their kids in the recruiting area. But on the other hand, Wylie really hasn't seen any of their boys go to a Major College team. Once they breakout, they may get more attention. There are things coaches can do for their players as far as getting them attention. You don't just sit around and wait for them to come to you.

Good job, you spanked a Brownwood team that played musical QB's the entire game. Wow. What about the year before? You won because a ref blew a call. Whippee.

2-2 is the game count now. We take the advantage this season.

Matt was told that years ago. He considered moving but very few kids can make that decision at that age.

Heck no, they don't think about one team only going to the playoffs. Brownwood would have 15 SC's if we had never went to 4A. No doubt in my mind.

That is my question. Of all the 3A's in the state, Wylie is the closest comparison to the Brownwood programs of the past. They have a ton of kids, good kids, and a coach that never leaves. What is the difference? They should be winning SC's left and right.

Not saying they aren't good. Just saying they aren't THAT good. I think Wylie should have more than 2? or 1? How many do they have?

You forget that this is Texas high school football, Rocket. You can't discount anybody out-of-hand. If Brownwood manages to come into the Sweetwater game undefeated, how big a target do you think they will be to those Sweetwater kids? And don't say it can't happen---desire and motivation does play a huge part in these games. Last season the Bulls went to Decatur for what should have been a walk-over and found themselves on the short end of the score to the tune of 21-0 before the half because of a bunch of absolutely revved-up Eagle players.

Sweetwater used to be good. And yeah, you made it tough on us when we started scheduling you in 1995. But we were also rebuilding. 1997 was a great game. Other than that, your allegations of recruiting aren't accurate. If you were a kid growing up around Brownwood and you knew Gordon Wood was coaching there and you wanted a chance to win a State Championship, where would you go to school? Zephyr? Early? Winning breeds winning and people want to be a part of it. Sweetwater is in BFE so you really don't have to worry about it.

Wylie is in a city of 100,000. Much easier to recruit under the radar.

No...I am using the mindset ccmom and these Wylie people use. We have beaten Wylie twice in regular season over the last 4 years. They have beat us twice in district play. They say there's counts and ours don't. I say all games count, district or pre-district. Read slowly and carefully. I was being sarcastic. :rolleyes:

Ain't gonna happen. If B'wood gets out of Reg 1 one of the East Texas teams will take em out quickly.:D

I would think 3A is a cakewalk if it only takes us 3 years to win it all as opposed to 28 years in 4A without winning one. LOL

Actually, football was and still is king at Brownwood. After moving down to 3A, we do quite well in all sports. Mostly Baseball and track. Basketball is on the rise.

"If you consider 3 rounds deep successful" or something to that effect.:D

hey I like brownwood....I respect the tradition regrardless of when the last title came.... so not trying stir up anything.

In 2008, Vacarro moved to Early. This set a chain reaction through our defense.Players having to shift to fill the holes. we never recovered from it. Our defense was horrible. We couldn't stop anybody. In my 26 years of watching Brownwood football, I have never seen us in that situation on defense. Our offense was Top 3 in the State in All Classifications, our defense was the worst.

In 2009, we lost our QB Brown at Stephenville. McShan filled in nicely, being a converted WR that had never played a down at QB in his life. We didn't even discover McShan til the 3rd Qtr of the Wylie game after our backup went out with a knee injury. I am not complaining at all about how we did last season. We beat Graham after we got our QB situation taken care of. McShan was told not to run with the ball to avoid injury. So all he was allowed to do is hand the ball off and pass. 10-3 is a good season and it was a blast.

If we can remain healthy in 2010, look out.

There is that "both sides of your mouth" thing again!!

Back in 2008, after y'all went 3-7, I asked you point blank to admit that 3A wasn't the cakewalk you expected it be.....and you admitted it!!

It is for these reasons that I can appreciate your posts for what they are and not take you seriously!!!!!;)

That is correct, Waterboy. And if I remember correctly, we were beaten by some pretty good teams in the playoffs several other years, other than the SC. Those teams just went on the win the SC themselves (except for Canton.)

PASSING RECORD, HEISMAN IN QB’S SIGHTS IN 2010



GREG JAKLEWICZ

jaklewiczg@reporternews.com / 325-676-6736

Heisman Trophy talk again in_cludes an athlete with Big Coun_try roots.

Last year, University of Texas senior Colt McCoy, the 2008 run_ner- up to Oklahoma’s Sam Brad_ford, was in the mix. McCoy, the former Jim Ned standout, eventu_ally finished third in 2009.

This year, it’s Case Keenum, the former Wylie quarterback who has back-to-back 5,000-yard pass_ing seasons for the University of Houston. After throwing for 5,671 yards — 1,400 ahead of the No. 2 quarterback, Troy’s Levi Brown (4,254) — as a junior, Keenum has a shot of being the first college quarterback to record a 6,000_yard season.

If he throws for just over 4,000 yards, he will became the Divi_sion I career leader. Keenum has 12,950 yards in three seasons, just shy of the 12,964 yards accumulat_ed by former Stephenville stand_out and expected Philadelphia Eagles starter Kevin Kolb had for the Cougars from 2003-2006.

Hawaii’s Timmy Chang totaled 17,072 yards from 2000-2004.

According to Sports Illus_trated, which named him its top offensive player for the upcom_ing season, “(Keenum) is the no-brainer choice for stat-loving Heisman voters.”

With Keenum, last year’s Confer_ence USA most valuable player, at the helm, Houston has re-emerged as a force. The Cougars were 10-4 last season and cracked The As_sociated Press top-25 for the first time since 1991. The Cougars were 8-5 in 2009, winning the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth.

“There’s no secret, for us to be successful he’s got to play at a high level, and I think our team likes that,” UH coach Kevin Sumlin told The Associated Press.

So do Cougars fans — the long_time faithful and those new to cheering a top-25 team. In late July, the Houston Astros invited Keenum to throw out the first pitch at a home game.

“It was awesome but I was a lit_tle bit out of my element,” Keenum said. “It was more like a spiral.”

But it was a strike. And Keenum, who led Division I with 405 pass_ing yards per game, has thrown plenty of those the past three seasons. He completed 70.3 per_cent of his passes in 2009, and his touchdown-to-interception ratio is 3-to-1 for his career.

Despite being named to numer_ous quarterback and all-America watch lists and included in pre_season lists of Heisman candidates who hope to unseat 2009 winner Mark Ingram of Alabama, Keenum is about his team and winding up his college days in Houston.

“It has been great. I’ve learned that if you’re not from Houston or Dallas, you’re from the coun_try. Even if you come from a city with over 100,000-plus people,” he said. “But I’ve embraced the label of country boy. I’ve liked the city life, and people here have embraced Houston Cougars.

“You always want to say you left a place better than you found it,” he said. “I want to put the Univer_sity of Houston back on the map, making it a big-time program.”

Keenum reflected on where he’s come from — directing Wylie, a Class 3A school, to the 2004 state championship and throwing for almost 6,800 career yards while posting a 31-11 record as a starter.

“It takes time to adjust playing at the next level,” he said. “But I had a great foundation under me. I learned and grew tremendously as an ath_lete from seventh grade through my senior year. I was blessed to have great coaches. That’s a huge part of who I am today.”

In a city that offers more attrac_tions than college football, the Cougars have started drawing fans. Before a sellout crowd and an ESPN Saturday night audience last year, Houston beat Texas Tech on Keenum’s short touch_down run with under a minute to play to cap a 95-yard drive.

Please see KEENUM, 140G

THOMAS METTHE/REPORTER-NEWS

Houston quarterback Case Keenum is 4,000 passing yards away from being Division I’s all-time leader.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See KEENUM on Page G140



KEENUM from 138G

Keenum said he has approached his final season with a goal of moving the Cougars toward a C-USA championship and perhaps a BCS bowl berth.

Sumlin said his team is in capable hands with Keenum on the field “He’s a great leader, a leader by example. He’s a player-coach on the field,” Sumlin said at July’s Texas High School Coaches Association coaching school. “He’s gotten more and more leeway and leverage in our offense as he’s evolved.

“His ability to be a leader and really put us in that situation where our team believes, no matter what the situation is, we have a chance to win, as a coach, that’s really a good thing.”

Keenum said the task of improving never stops.

“I don’t think I’m perfect,” Keenum said. He was worked this summer with Houston baseball coaches to improve his arm strength. He said he’s in the best shape as an athlete.

“There’s no one harder on Case Keenum than Case Keenum,” Sumlin said.

Houston is picked as C-USA West winner while Central Florida, which beat Houston last year, is the projected East champ. The Cougars lost the 2009 league title game 38-32 at East Carolina, then were whipped 47-20 by Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl. Keenum threw nine picks in those seasonending losses. “Any good quarterback has to have amnesia,” he said of moving on after a poor showing. “You have to forget the last play or the last game. But then, you’re only as good as your last game. Yeah, that last game left a bad taste in our mouths. It has been good motivation for us.”

The Cougars have changed offensive coordinators — Dana Holgorsen moved on to Oklahoma State — and have addressed a defense that gave up at least 30 points seven times in 2009. Keenum noted the fresh start that goes with returning nine players — including three 1,000-yard receivers — on offense.

“This is a different team,” he said. “As a quarterback, you show you support (the defense). You encourage each other and feed off each other. I can tell they’ve gotten tremendously better from last year.

“It’s not just the offense, or the defense. It’s the whole Houston Cougars football team this year.”

Sumlin agreed.

“It doesn’t always fall on one person,” he said. “We have a lot more continuity in who he’s playing with.”

Still, the face of the team is Keenum, last year’s Division I total offense leader with almost 417 yards per game. He threw for 500 yards four times, 400 yards seven times and 300 yards in 12 of 14 games.

Awards and records likely will come his way if those types of games are duplicated.

“An individual award is a team award,” Keenum said. As for the watch lists, he said, “Those are just preseason awards. The most important ones come at the end of the year.”

Sumlin said Keenum can handle an opponent’s attention on the field, and the media spotlight off it.

“He’s had that since he’s been here,” Sumlin said.

Despite being named to numer_ous quarterback and all-America watch lists and included in pre_season lists of Heisman candidates who hope to unseat 2009 winner Mark Ingram of Alabama, Keenum is about his team and winding up his college days in Houston.

“It has been great. I’ve learned that if you’re not from Houston or Dallas, you’re from the coun_try. Even if you come from a city with over 100,000-plus people,” he said. “But I’ve embraced the label of country boy. I’ve liked the city life, and people here have embraced Houston Cougars.

“You always want to say you left a place better than you found it,” he said. “I want to put the Univer_sity of Houston back on the map, making it a big-time program.”

Keenum reflected on where he’s come from — directing Wylie, a Class 3A school, to the 2004 state championship and throwing for almost 6,800 career yards while posting a 31-11 record as a starter.

“It takes time to adjust playing at the next level,” he said. “But I had a great foundation under me. I learned and grew tremendously as an ath_lete from seventh grade through my senior year. I was blessed to have great coaches. That’s a huge part of who I am today.”

In a city that offers more attrac_tions than college football, the Cougars have started drawing fans. Before a sellout crowd and an ESPN Saturday night audience last year, Houston beat Texas Tech on Keenum’s short touch_down run with under a minute to play to cap a 95-yard drive.

Houston quarterback Case Keenum is 4,000 passing yards away from being Division I’s all-time leader.

KEENUM from 138G

Keenum said he has approached his final season with a goal of moving the Cougars toward a C-USA championship and perhaps a BCS bowl berth.

Sumlin said his team is in capable hands with Keenum on the field “He’s a great leader, a leader by example. He’s a player-coach on the field,” Sumlin said at July’s Texas High School Coaches Association coaching school. “He’s gotten more and more leeway and leverage in our offense as he’s evolved.

“His ability to be a leader and really put us in that situation where our team believes, no matter what the situation is, we have a chance to win, as a coach, that’s really a good thing.”

Keenum said the task of improving never stops.

“I don’t think I’m perfect,” Keenum said. He was worked this summer with Houston baseball coaches to improve his arm strength. He said he’s in the best shape as an athlete.

“There’s no one harder on Case Keenum than Case Keenum,” Sumlin said.

Houston is picked as C-USA West winner while Central Florida, which beat Houston last year, is the projected East champ. The Cougars lost the 2009 league title game 38-32 at East Carolina, then were whipped 47-20 by Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl. Keenum threw nine picks in those seasonending losses. “Any good quarterback has to have amnesia,” he said of moving on after a poor showing. “You have to forget the last play or the last game. But then, you’re only as good as your last game. Yeah, that last game left a bad taste in our mouths. It has been good motivation for us.”

The Cougars have changed offensive coordinators — Dana Holgorsen moved on to Oklahoma State — and have addressed a defense that gave up at least 30 points seven times in 2009. Keenum noted the fresh start that goes with returning nine players — including three 1,000-yard receivers — on offense.

“This is a different team,” he said. “As a quarterback, you show you support (the defense). You encourage each other and feed off each other. I can tell they’ve gotten tremendously better from last year.

“It’s not just the offense, or the defense. It’s the whole Houston Cougars football team this year.”

Sumlin agreed.

“It doesn’t always fall on one person,” he said. “We have a lot more continuity in who he’s playing with.”

Still, the face of the team is Keenum, last year’s Division I total offense leader with almost 417 yards per game. He threw for 500 yards four times, 400 yards seven times and 300 yards in 12 of 14 games.

Awards and records likely will come his way if those types of games are duplicated.

“An individual award is a team award,” Keenum said. As for the watch lists, he said, “Those are just preseason awards. The most important ones come at the end of the year.”

Sumlin said Keenum can handle an opponent’s attention on the field, and the media spotlight off it.

“He’s had that since he’s been here,” Sumlin said.

Houston QB Case Keenum (7) celebrates with teammate Jordan Shoemaker after a first down conversion during the fourth quarter of Houston’s 29-28 win over Texas Tech on Sept. 27, 2009, at Robertson Stadium in Houston.

Houston? is that a high school? He lived in Brownwood for a few years. That is the only reason he is any good.

Just be thankful our starting QB and Shipley was out or it would have got brutally gross. Shipley knows your offense and our defense knew every key to every play.

I know you don't like to think for yourself outside of brownwood is the greatest program ever but listen: his post didn't say anything to refute my comments. Just use some simple logic; there are at least 2 times as many teams playing now, not just in the playoffs, but in 3A in general. You've got at least 2 times as many kids playing ball now and thus, wait for it,'you have 2 times as many talened kids playing and henceforth, you are goin to have moresolid teams of a high caliber to compete against nap the argument that the playlets are watered down is bs since you have the same ratio of good teams this as you did then, if not more

[waterboy]

AND.....now you have teams that get second or third in one district that could've been district champions in a lot of other districts. It all balances out, especially when you consider that the ones that wouldn't have made the playoffs in another district will get weeded out eventually once the playoffs begin.

Ok, think for a second. Its all relative. If we have 2 times as many everything now, that means they had half as many then. Since they only had 1 team making the playoffs then, it WAS harder to get in. I know of 2 times Brownwood stayed home with 9-1 records. How often do you see that now? Same thing happened to Breckenridge a time or two. We were the only team to beat them so they had to stay home. Basically, if you lost 1 district game back then, you needed help to make the playoffs. If you lose 1 district game or even 2 now, you still control you own destiny.

I know this is a twisted logic that can't be counted on, but, most of what Rocket says is twisted:

If Wylie beat Brownwood by 34 and Gilmer destroyed Wylie--logically Gilmer would have beat Brownwood by about 70 if I figure right.

I would think that making up a 70 point difference over the summer might be a little tougher than Rocket believes.

Wylie did not beat Brownwood by 34...ol" G-77 keeps showing the HALF SCORE! It was 21/41 so we should only have to make up around 50 or so points. ;) ....and before you Wylie folks jump in I can't help it if we ran all over your 3rd string.

Sorry about that mess up on the score last year. I really was just trying to mess with Rocket since he is so mess-with-able. He is so much fun to keep jabbing at and I was trying to use typical downlow logic to my advantage.

I think that the Lions will challenge for the title this year, if they avoid the big injuries. I do think that in the playoffs they will see at least two teams that are equal in talent and can beat them on any given night. How they respond in those games will be the key. The pieces are therre and the coaching is there if the 15-18 year olds can execute the program. WE WILL SEE!!!!!

If Wylie plays the first team in all four QTRS, then Wylie hangs 82 or more points. Since Gilmer destroyed us, then logically Gilmer would have beat Brownwood by at least 164 or more!:D

Just saying!:D


P.S. Either way, if Brownwood would have gone to the SC vs Gilmer; and Gilmer had beat them by 164 or more points; in ROCKET'S mind it would have been a close game or it would have been a "Brownwood beat Brownwood" statement!:D

I believe it was 14-7 when our backup was hurt. I'm also pretty sure he committed a turnover in the process of getting hurt. Wylie capitalized and it was 21-7. Then Jaxon gets put at QB next possession and throws a pick 6. That makes it 28 (or 27) to 7. Final score 41-21. Point being, we were out of the game with no one left to play QB in the middle of the 2nd quarter, and also went from being down 14-7 to down 28-7 without a QB in a matter of 2 or 3 minutes.

Our #2 QB started the next 2 games, including a playoff game, and we won. Let's just get that straight.

Congrats. I wasn't making excuses either, just stating facts.

Using our 3rd stringer we won 6 straight including 2 playoff games and the team (Graham) who beat your starter until one minute left and then 2nd stringer... or something like that.

We could go on with this all day... and it's probably what will happen til tomorrow night when something better to do comes along.

Who did y'all beat in the playoffs the first 2 Rounds? Were they a top ranked team? LOL nope. AND, you are right, you straight up got your butt beat with the best you had. That is when it's good to admit you got owned. That wasn't the case with us. You didn't beat the best we had. So pat yourselves on the back... GOOD JOB! My point is you did what you did last year with the best you had, we never once got to play with the best we had all on the field together. Not one game. Excuse? Sure...and a valid one.

On a serious note... had Graylon/Jaxon been in that game, it would have had a different score. Who knows if we would have won, but def a different score. Heck if we had even had our #2 QB the whole game who knows.... Your starters at least wouldn't have been coming out of the game. Don't know who Graylon is...but I'm quite certain Shipley played against Wylie and there are pics to prove it.;)

Yeah it made a difference. We beat Graham. You didn't. Using Rocket logic, Wylie beat Wylie the night we played Graham...I have never seen a more bizzare game. If you look at the stats (minus turnovers) it would appear that we killed them instead of going home with an L.

[ccmom]

After reading the thread from last year's game, it looks like the score was 23-7 when the QB went down.

WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!?!?:doh:

[Rocket]

Let's take a rewind... look at the Wylie game for what it was.

I am gonna break it down for you people that can't seem to get past the fact that you beat a team while they were down and how a starting QB not playing affects the SCORE and the defense.

Wylie, of course, had all of their big guns that night. Brownwood had Shipley back for his 2nd Game of the season and the starting QB Brown was out with a knee injury. Our 2nd String QB was a Soph who had seen some success against Liberty Hill and Manor, 2 Teams that were no where near GOOD and the level of intensity at both games was almost non-existent. Wylie's backup QB would have done just as well against these 2 teams.:rolleyes:

Wylie comes out and pops a quick strike for a score on the opening series. Kicks off to us and we run a decoy route and fake to Shipley leaving Ellis wide stinkin' open and we are off to the races. 7-7

Wylie answers quickly. We begin to struggle. The Soph QB is wide-eyed and shaken up. Wylie is def sending the house. So... of course advantage Wylie. a few series go by and we are 3 and out after 3 and out. This is because we lose half of our playbook (which we were still not fully installed being a new system and all) after our starting QB Brown goes down. The Soph QB gets knocked out of the game, blown knee. Now it's time for musical QB's. We are still going 3 and out and the defense is having to play the entire 1st half, and Wylie is scoring on 2 picks thrown by starting WR's.

So basically the Brownwood offense can't get a first down and is behind by more than 2 scores and trying to pass the ball, but only forcing passes and throwing INT's. Wylie is capitalizing, like any good team would do. before you know it, it's out of hand.

So to say our defense was no good is not entirely accurate. They had to play the entire game and our offense gave Wylie 14 quick points in like 3 minutes of time putting Brownwood in a situation to pass...and there was no QB to execute the playbook properly.

Wylie scores a lot, Brownwood is scrambling just trying to get a first down.

THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF WE WOULD HAVE PLAYED WYLIE THE LAST WEEK OF DISTRICT.

So keep throwing that scoreboard shot up there, gp...as inaccurate as it was to who Brownwood really was last year, you can enjoy your victory against a Brownwood team that was at a HUGE disadvantage against probably the best Wylie team you have ever seen. probably could have beat the Wylie SC team. But who knows...

All I am saying is, you can say our defense didn't perform or whatever, but losing a starting QB affects every facet of the game, especially against the 2009 Wylie Bulldogs.

And here is my final point....
Even with all of that said. Even with the Wylie blowout vs. Brownwood... Brownwood was still a Co-District Champion of 2-3A that produced 2 State Finalists. :)

Last year without several starters, Longoria beat your entire team by himself. You talk trash against us but the real question is, was yalls championship runs an anomoly? LH=Flash in a pan?

I was at the game, and what you say is true, however......you seem to forget to mention the fact that Wylie was whipping Brownwood in the trenches where games are won and lost.
How many starters was Brownwood missing on the offense and defensive lines that night? What about Brownwood's secondary? I seen blown coverages all over the field.
When I seen Wylie dominate every aspect of the game, plus the size and numbers they had suited up, I actually thought there is no way this team is actually a 3A team. I never thought they would lose a game last year, but they did.
Having said that, I will say this. IMO I don't think it would have made that much of a difference if Brownwood would have had ALL of their starters that night, Wylie still would have won. It would have been a closer game, but Wylie was the better team across the board that night and until you face the facts your in denial. Hopefully this years game will be totally different and the Lions will come out on top.

We had plays that would keep that Def line in check with our Starting QB. It would have been no where near the butt whooping it was and would have been much closer.

But getting back to the subject matter of the thread title.
We really never know how good we will be. We usually have 1.5 returning starters, so every year is a new team.
I've seen us go 1-3 and then suddenly get it together and start winning.
Good luck to everyone tonight (and tomorrow)!

You know I respect Coach Wood and all the he was able to accomplish.

However that being said, Brownwood hasn't won a State Championship in 29 years. Accomplish something a little more recent and then get back to me.

I remember when Cleburne was beating (owned) Brownwood in the 80's (both on the field and in the recruiting wars). And you still haven't quit recruiting. At least make it not so obvious, have the families at least claim or even move to Brownwood instead of still living in __________ (Bangs, Early, Goldthwaite, Zephyr, Commanche, Brady, the 4 corners of the earth, etc.)
