gotta check on family Thanksgiving stuff, but I sure would like to make this game. Good Luck to the Texans!

[Saggy Aggie]

Texans by 10, but I'm rooting for the upset!

[wimbo_pro]

Texans by 10, but I'm rooting for the upset!

I predict more than 10, but will save my "final" prediction till after I learn more about Sweeny's recent production. Looking at the stats up till today, its almost a total mis-match. But then again, so was Taylor. This is why I want to hear more about their last 5 games or so...and their opponents.

[Dogs_21]

I'm pulling for the Dogs but I think Wimberly by 14..but I don't see them winning state. Just my thoughts!

[SHSBulldog00]

Wimberley will be the favorite every game they play. A Wimberley Coach said if Sweeny plays the way we did tonight we could beat the Texans. I know Wimberley will not take us for granted. Sweeny wants revenge for last year. Pulling for My Dog's in an upset.

[Saggy Aggie]

Last 4:

Lost to Wharton by 3 or less (Wharton is still playing)
Lost to WC by about 3 tds. (WC is still playing)
Beat Sinton by about 28
Beat RH by about 35

Sweeny has athletes and size but they don't play together that well. Think their talent alone keeps this one close

If both teams play next week like they did this week I think the Texans win a close one!

[Dogs_21]

Well good thing we get to play the game and see! They don't have more athletes then us we just got to play as discipline as they play. No turnovers and way less penalties!

Don't take Sweeny lightly they might just sneak up and bite ya ...

We played Sweeny week 3.....were they missing any key players that week?

I know thay had multiple players out for their surprising loss to Wharton dring week 6.
Are all those players back on the field now? Have they improved dramatically over the season?

I believe all their players are back and it shows. They will have to cut down on the dumb penalties. You know that old saying..."there is holding on every play?" well it is TRUE! LOL. They definitely have the athletes to make it interesting. We shall see. I think Wimberley is the heavy favorite.

[Manso/V8]

I could tell that Sweeny had more potential/speed than they showed in the game against Bellville.
I am glad yall have pulled that together and got it going.....wish we were still playing!
Congrats and good luck.

Wimberley by at least 21.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Well good thing we get to play the game and see! They don't have more athletes then us we just got to play as discipline as they play. No turnovers and way less penalties!i totally agree with this statement! I think the difference between WC and Sweeny is WC in games i've seen them the past two years don't turn the ball over.

[lbjacj]

Wimberley by at least 21.

I hope it will be like last years game...

[1st and goal]

They are predicting thunderstorms 74 high/59 low on Friday in Victoria. IDK if the field is still natural turf or not. If so, could be a sloppy game. Could it be the "equalizer"?

I might be in Hicktoria(grew up there) Friday. I would love to be able to attend.

It has field turf.

[YTBulldogs]

It has field turf.

Victoria Memorial Stadium is a sweet venue (my favorite) to see a game from. Plenty of seating, and no track around the field get's the fan's a tad closer to the action. Love to see VMS add a replay video screen in the future.

If ya'll want to set up a M&G, have it at the EZ stands, opposite the scoreboard. South EZ. Perfect place.

[Gone Fishing]

Well I'M more about this year since we are preparing to play our third playoff game, but since you are already into next year, I must say Wimberley will be Wimberley of R 4 next year.

[Dogs_21]

That's good to know! They keep a great team but El Campo Is Great also, but for Now "Go Dogs".

GF, sorry I missed ya at the M&G at Canyon Stadium Friday. Good luck to your Texans bud. They looked good. Hey, how big/tall is #5? Hate to hit him 1 on 1.

[SHSBulldog00]

There is a nice game after ours

Poth (11-0) vs. Refugio (11-0) Friday 7:30pm Memorial Stadium, Victoria

Yeah, I just kept my rear in the stands, had alot of friends and family there. He is 6'1" and 215 and runs a legit 4.5

Would love to have another name in the mix in R4 next year...assumingwe stay in R4, you never know.

[YTBulldogs]

Would love to have another name in the mix in R4 next year...assumingwe stay in R4, you never know.

Yeah, another large 900+ school in R4 and very likely in our district. At 450, it's a killa I tell ya.:(

[wimbo_pro]

Yeah, another large 900+ school in R4 and very likely in our district. At 450, it's a killa I tell ya.:(

Yeah...we are at 680 +/-, 2nd smallest in the district.

[SHSBulldog00]

we are 590 2nd smallest in ours.

[SHSBulldog00]

I saw some video of the Wimberley/Gonzales game but I can't find it on Youtube.

Video Production was very good. Guessing it was something Wimberley does for every game?

[YTBulldogs]

we are 590 2nd smallest in ours. 140 more than 450 is big in 3A.

[YTBulldogs]

Yeah...we are at 680 +/-, 2nd smallest in the district.

Try 450 wimbo, against the likes of El Campo

[wimbo_pro]

140 more than 450 is big in 3A.

Yeah, 450 is pretty small, but doable when the others are 600+/-. It's the 900 sized schools that bring this alignment into question.

[YTBulldogs]

Yeah, 450 is pretty small, but doable when the others are 600+/-. It's the 900 sized schools that bring this alignment into question.

You'd think the UIL could find 5 or 6 schools within a region with 450-550 size enrollment to form a district. Trust me, they'd be willing to drive a way's vs. facing them 700-900+ size schools. Least make it somewhat fair.

[Sportshack]

The Texans are pretty much he team they were last year but with a bit better defensive front. The question becomes....in fans' objective opinions...is Sweeny better, worse, or the same as last year. I saw the article on their offensive line. A good sized unit. What is the Bulldog's game? Balanced attack, power running game, spread? The Texans have had a tendency to play really big in perceived big games and a bit flat in games they feel they will win easily. They played well in Sealy...flat against Bandera...played great against Canyon Lake...flat against Fredericksburg...got bit by injury bug and came out and finished 2 final regular season games against the other district playoff contenders strong...played flat against Taylor...played like world beaters against Gonzales. Sweeny has the advantage of having faced WHS offense last year as compared to Gonzales. However, Smith did not play last year. And Whs offense seems more diverse this year scheme wise. whs has....has ....has to get fired up just like last week and take the Bulldogs very seriously. Gonzales was good but frankly they seemed a bit undersized with a couple of exceptions. Sweeny will not fit in that category. They will be big and physical and playing role of underdog to the hilt.

[YTBulldogs]

Come on WT. Tell me how tall/weight #5 is?

[lbjacj]

Come on WT. Tell me how tall/weight #5 is?

6-1 215

I think closer to 205/208, but thats just my guess.

Stole this off Facebook.....

This is what the bulldogs will look like after we finish with them Friday...

I have written my prediction for this game 2 times, then deleted it. I can't find the words that will convey my opinion without it sounding like I am giving Sweeny absolutely no chance to win this game, which is not the case. So...I will keep re-writing it until it flows just right! You know me...Mr. Politically Correct. :)

I think they will play you closer than GZ did if that helps ya wimbo. More speed and able to throw if need be. Not sure that will be enough still.

[YTBulldogs]

Dude looks like a CB nightmare if confronted one on one. Then, there's #2 Blakemore. What a shot in the arm to be getting back in the playoffs. Awesome, speedy, great hands kid.

[Sportshack]

Well good thing we get to play the game and see! They don't have more athletes then us we just got to play as discipline as they play. No turnovers and way less penalties!

not sure what your definition of athletes might be but WHS has some really talented players at many positions. I question whether dogs have faced as good of skills players with possible exception of WC. Sweeny will likely have to be reall proficient in passing game.

Texans are likely more battle tested at this point. Gonzales was a fight until halfway thru 4th against a very dangerous team. Is sweeny a younger team or a senior laden team?

Sweeny has senior leadership (26) but underclassmen get a lot of PT.

[catfish]

Just so you know,every time someone from any team either brags about their team,disses the other team or makes a prediction,it goes straight to the bulletin board of the opposing team.So,the best way to give ammo to the opponent is to write one of these statements.Coaches don't care where it comes from,if has been written,they use it.Not to mention all the players that read this site.....We all love our teams,but it is not always good to write what you feel,you could be helping your enemy.

:iagree: Sweeny will need a great week of practice and hope Wimberley is flat. Wimberley has deceptive athlete's; some of them don't have the look but you put them on the field and it shows.

interesting revelation...ok...district 29 clearly has had the most success in playoffs and the likely reason is they have some of most arletic teams in Region IV!!!!! accordingly, The Texans will absolutely need to ignore records or recent history of 2 senio laden teams and focus, focus, focus as that darned pigskin bounces funny on any given game!!!!!!!

[SHSBulldog00]

Can someone upload a video on Wimberley? Preferably the Taylor Game. Was wondering what the Texans mindset was in that one.

Sportshack - In addition to WC, Sweeny faced Bay City(4A), Freeport Brazosport(4A), Bellville, and Royal. Not that those teams are all barn burners, but I am assuming Bay City and Brazosport have some pretty good skill position kids, I know Bellville has some talented skill position kids and overall speed, and I know Royal has athletic skill position kids(but not the supporting cast needed to win). WHS is a talented overall team with some very good players. For sure I would say Sweeny has seen more speed and as good skill position players as WHS, but maybe not as many assembled on one team and that executes as well. Sweeny does have speed.

Well that is some good information. I posted my previous comment from iPhone and did not take a look at schedules. I officially withdraw that statement. It appears that Sweeny has indeed played teams that likely have same kind of talent. Gotta hope that our kids can keep on executing. Looks like it will be a dog fight...pun intended...as I am sure will happen in all games left to be played in Region IV bracket. Could be a nightmare match up for WHS as Sweeny sounds like a big, fast team that can throw. Rut ro!!!

Now I am at my computer....Bay City 3-7 with loss to Sweeny, Brazoport 1-9 with win over Sweeny, Brookshire Royal 2-8 with a loss to sweeny, Bellville was of course a talented team. Still 4A teams can be hard to beat despite records and Sweeny did beat Bay City. Also...of course...last two games were against playoff teams with good records so there you go. Talent could be peaking at right time. Like I said...I am not sure what the definition of "athlete" is but it all comes down to making plays anyway. Sometimes speed just allows for big plays if speed is definition of athlete.

[Sportshack]

Can someone upload a video on Wimberley? Preferably the Taylor Game. Was wondering what the Texans mindset was in that one.

No video to upload. Mindset in early going appeared to be WTH???? These damn Ducks just punched us really hard...they were not supposed to do that!!! The mind set late in the game was how the heck did that happen....and finally...we are not I repeat not gonna lose this game and we do not care that we are down in OT with a holding penalty taking score off board and setting us back to 35 yd line!!!

Texans had issues with reserves, playing due to injuries, having difficulty with Taylors' good athletes and with adjusting to their proficiency in running the slot T in 1st half, which they were really good at executing. Sweeny appears to be in similar mold as Taylor...good athletes coming on strong in last few games!!! Texans better have their heads screwed on straight. "Remember the Taylor game" should be the Texans' battle cry this post season!!!!

Your exactly right! Wimberly plays as a Unit all the time. They wont have more athletes then us they never do but they play discipline ball and that's what it takes to Win deep in the playoffs. Hopefully we come fired up to play:thumbsup:

[rb585]

I think they will play you closer than GZ did if that helps ya wimbo.

I got called a jerk for saying that Taylor was better than Gonzales, but I meant it. Taylor was much more athletic and physical than Gonzales. And now Sweeny has a similar scouting report.

I guess I'm wondering how Sweeny is different than last season. They had big guys on the lines, but they weren't very good. Their QB was their best player, but he's gone, right?

[Dogs_21]

Bay City & Brazosport Play in 2 of the Hardest Districts in 4A with teams like #4Manvel, #6 Pearland Dawson, #10 Anglenton, Rosenberg Terry, El Campo, Power House #12 La Marque. So you can't compare a 3-7 or 2-8 4A school to teams in our 3A districts. Bay City & Brazosport would easily compete in 3A region 4. In fact that will most likely be our district next year lol!

They schedule some of the nearb 3A's (Sweeny and WC) and even those are no walk in the park.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

There is one win in Wimberley schedule that impresses me, is the win over 4a Dripping Springs by a score of 47-26. Dripping Springs still in the playoffs as the 3rd place team from a district that includes Lake Travis and Cedar Park. Wimberley score compares to the losses Dripping Spring had against Lake Travis and Cedar Park.

It's scary to think they'll close to the level of a Lake Travis and Cedar Park team! Looking forward to this game :)

More good information and makes sense. Brazosport and Bay City did play some good teams. Brazosport got absolutely crushed by the the good teams they played, however. Bay City did a bit better. Nonethless, both lost to less talented teams as well. Still they are in a higher classification. I also note both those 4-a teams were in game against West Columbia and WC is certainly considered a very good 3A team. Therefore, if you take out results of Wharton game when Sweeny was down so many players, they could have gone 3-1 in a district with 3 teams playing very well in playoffs right now. So it appears that it was just one of those seasons in early going. In 2009. The Texans started season 1-3 after losing their starting QB. However, they regrouped for district run and had solid playoff run to make it to regional finals. Probably a comparable situation.

Also Blakemore played defense last year in Sweeny game and made some back breaking plays from his DB position as well as on offense. The game was closer than the final score for sure. Take away his spectacular Td catch and run, INT return for a TD, and his interception near Texans' goal line and it is conceivable there could have been as much as a 14 to 21 point swing in final score. Of course, no way to ever really know.

I sure hope that he is up to playing defense in this game as I am starting to get the feeling we will need him.

Dripping Springs was actually a 49-26 score. They did get whipped soundly by both Lake Travis and Cedar Park but those were their only other losses on the season. They can be explosive with the passing game. Pretty sophisticated system. Interestingly, the defeated Alamo Heights 10-3 in overtime to advance this week. Go figure.

The only video I saw was linked on wimberley v gonzlaes thread. It was news coverage footage but it showed some of the exciting plays for both teams. I would like to see what you saw if different.

To be fair....Dripping seemed like kind of a soft team. However, they have a very sophisticated and dangerous passing attack. They can outscore teams. They were handled easily by the "Big Boys" in their district. Of course, Lake Travis and Cedar park have easily handled a lot of teams this season. They are gooooooood. I would be hesitant to put Wimberley in the category of those teams with the exception of having developed a good football program in their classification.

As I await the proper wording for my prediction, here is food for thought:

Any team can beat any other team at any time, at any location. Hell, even the the Wimberley Texans could beat the Chicago Bears on any given day, at any given location. It's possible, ya know.

I saw that game. I thought Dripping was a really bad 4A team. Their defense was a sieve. They must have improved dramatically, because I can't believe they're still playing.

It's not. If Kordell Stewart was still their QB, then maybe, but he's not.

LOL....good point.

[wimbo_pro]

Lol wut?

I saw that game. I thought Dripping was a really bad 4A team. Their defense was a sieve. They must have improved dramatically, because I can't believe they're still playing.

Yeah...I wasn't very impressed with Dripping.

Me too on Dripping, can't believe their still playing, But I REALLY can't believe LV is still playing. I have read where they have turned it around and younger players have gotten better and all that stuff, but they were horrible when they played Wimberley. If they win another game it will have to go down as one of the best coaching jobs or player turn a round's that I have ever seen.

[ogg]

I got called a jerk for saying that Taylor was better than Gonzales, but I meant it. Taylor was much more athletic and physical than Gonzales. And now Sweeny has a similar scouting report.

I guess I'm wondering how Sweeny is different than last season. They had big guys on the lines, but they weren't very good. Their QB was their best player, but he's gone, right?

You may be a jerk but a correct jerk. Taylor's the best team Wimberley play all year.

[wimbo_pro]

You may be a jerk but a correct jerk. Taylor's the best team Wimberley play all year.

Absolutely no disagreement here. We played well...and they kept smashing us in the mouth. I was genuinely afraid as to the outcome.

[ogg]

There is one win in Wimberley schedule that impresses me, is the win over 4a Dripping Springs by a score of 47-26. Dripping Springs still in the playoffs as the 3rd place team from a district that includes Lake Travis and Cedar Park. Wimberley score compares to the losses Dripping Spring had against Lake Travis and Cedar Park.

It's scary to think they'll close to the level of a Lake Travis and Cedar Park team! Looking forward to this game :)
DS has a impressive playoff run, right? Probably lose to Calallen this weekend. They might have played Wimberley closer if their passing game was a shade better.

No idea how Alamo Heights only scored 3 in an OT game.

some thoughts from this thread...

I am so tired of the statement that Wimberley does not have the athletes that some of the teams that they play do. I call complete and total BS on that. In fact, I’ll say that our overall athleticism along with coaching/preparation allows us to make more plays than the other team’s athletes and point to the undefeated record to back that up.

So what makes other teams have “athletes” and not Wimberley? Seriously, why is Sweeney considered a more athletic team than Wimberley? Someone want to take a stab at that? I’m all ears for a compelling argument on this one so fire away.

Drip is a good team and they were physical on the lines. It was not an easy win regardless of the score. Just go ask many of our players and especially our two way players if that was an easy win. Due to being 4A, they did not have to commit players to both sides of the ball%

That was a very good 4A team that we beat and they were just as good then as they are now. Seems to be a bunch of effort on this board to discredit wins based on the competition.

Sweeny is faster, all around = more athletic

Sweeny however doesnt play as well as a unit, they dont execute as well as Wimberley and they shoot themselves in the foot more than the Texans. But hardly anyone executes better than the Texans, so that would indicate the undefeated record. Wimberley has athletes no doubt, I just think Sweeny has more of them. Wont translate to a win for the bulldogs though. Texans are too polished.

How do you know Sweeny is faster? Overall, Wimberley has been faster than every team on their schedule to date. Sure some of the other teams may have had those one or two guys but overall Wimberley has had better team speed than every team that they have played this year.

Because I've seen Wimberley play several times over the last 4-5 years and Sweeny is in my team's district? Sweeny has the most team speed in reg 4 probably, and more than most schools in 3A, but sure... Wimberley is faster. Whatever dude. If you think you have burners, then great. Doesnt matter. I already said its my opinion that sween has more team speed but it wont make a difference.

[SHSBulldog00]

All I want is a great afternoon of High School Football between two well respected programs.

And it doesn't matter whose faster....all that matters is that you have at least one more point than your opponent when the game ends.

[Manso/V8]

well I have game film as well and I do not see it. Comparable maybe but not better and certainly not noticable to call it out as an advantae.
I just said game film as a possibility. The reason folks are talking about Sweeny speed is that WHS posters kind of beg or ache for info on their opponents. I have no problem with that, it's interesting to cuss and discuss. So, in order to keep the conversation going, people familiar with Sweeny are making comments on their impressions. Here is the my straight forward opinion. We played Sweeny in week 3. They definately had some speed at some of the skill positions, and one of their backs was really quick........he made a fool of our secondary on their one TD (39 yd run). He may have been the fastest player on both teams, I wasn't surprised when he busted that run and had been/was expecting others. Other than that one play, Bellville was able to stop Sweeny at the line, with the linebackers, or in the secondary. They had 217 total yds, 178 on the ground, and 39 passing. Bellville had 438 total yds, 402 on the ground, and 36 passing. We have some pretty quick backs, but Sweeny was able to track them down pretty well and prevented any long TD runs. So yeah, Sweeny has some speed......their speed is no where close to what we saw from Coldspring last Friday night. We hung with Coldspring from their mistakes and our good execution and good speed......our backs that normally can break long runs were tracked down by several defenders. You probably have a pretty good idea of what Coldspring is like from playing them last year.

I don't want to offend the Sweeny folks, but unless they have improved dramatically since we played them, I don't think they can keep pace with the Texans. From what I have read, their line play has improved and so has their passing game. If Bellville played them this week, I am sure it would be a closer game than in week 3, but I still think we would beat them(moot point). You handled Sealy......and I am guessing Sealy had the fastest players that night, but maybe Sealy wasn't as fast as Wimberley across the board. I think this will be the case in this game as well. Sweeny probably has a couple of players faster than any of your players, but they maybe aren't as fast across the board......though some of your OL seems pretty slow. I would be surprised if the Texans did not win this game.

Sorry Sweeny folks, just my opinion. Yall have a great program and tradition, a really good team, and I am enjoying your playoff run.
Best of luck to both teams........wish we were still playing, and here's to an injury free contest!

[SHSBulldog00]

I will be honest; at the beginning of the year I didn't think we would make the playoffs let alone get back to the third round. Yes we have improved but my overall evaluation of Region IV this year is that the majority of the teams are weak or maybe it's just the style of play. I don't know, I'm just glad we are still playing.

I remember when I was in high school we never heard of Wimberley until we played in Brenham. Ya'll had a RB I believe his last name was Whalen? We knew if we held him in check we were going to win. Our defense held him to 80 yards and we won 10-0. After that game Sweeny and I myself had a new found respect for the Texans. Great Memories!!!

When did the High School open?

Man, where's wimbo thoughts on this game? Love reading his insight's and predictions. He tell's it like it is, good or bad I have found ready his breakdowns.

This game is very interesting to me. I say Sweeny has a real chance in this game. But, WT looked damn good against GZ Friday and having Blakemore sure gave them a serious weapon to use.

I think its been 21 years, or close to it. Whalen still holds the all time record for yards and TD's, we were a running team back then. Those records will never be broken if we continue to run the spread.

Fair assessment. We have played quite a few teams that have "more athletes" ...as you measure athletes...bigger, faster, stronger....but we beat em anyways. Thats where coaching comes in. I find no insult in admitting it, if I see it. No idea if its true about Sweeny though. It wasnt true about Gonzales, might of been true about Taylor though.

I already said its my opinion that sween has more team speed but it wont make a difference.

I think that HSFB is referring to the speed of defensive front and some of LB's for Wimberley as well as RB's, 2 Wr's and QB to an extent. Now the guys on the defensive front and some of the LB's are not going to necessarily blow anyone away in a 40 but they are very quick and rally to the ball very well which makes it difficult on O-linemen and QB's and RB's.

I accept that Sweeny has some really fast skills players. However, an athlete uses what he has to MAKE PLAYS. If they are also playmakers then so be it. I am prepared to believe they will be the fastest bunch we have faced. Perhaps the best playmakers we have faced as well.

Oh no...i will give my breakdown in a day or two, from the stats. I am still waiting to hear reasons why the stats wont be indicative of the outcome, like they were not in the Taylor game. We played well in that game...they just played LIGHTS OUT. Come to find out, once more info came to light, there were good reasons for their 3-7 record and their poor stats showing.

[Sportshack]

I am too...but I doubt it will change the outcome. The Texans are WAY too much for Sweeny, in totality.

Well...the Texans look better on paper. I suspect it will be about the big plays that get made. Like I said absent a few big plays, the game between Sweeny and WHS could have been much closer last year. Of course that could have been true in Texans only loss if they had kept Gilbert from getting those 2 really long runs for TD's. The Texans offense has a way of generating those plays. Texans will have Smith in line up this go round...he also poses the potential for big plays.

To me...if the Texans come out flat they could get surprised. The kids were anything but flat against Gonzales but that likley had much to do with all the doubters that surfaced on these boards and the Gonzales posters confidence along with realization that they almost let their season slip away. They really have to keep the intensity at a fever pitch for his game as well as Sweeny has whooped the snot out of last 2 oponents. Now we know one of them was not good but heck the other was 9-1 and the other was in 2nd round of play offs.

They were more of a qb running and passing team last year and defensively good at times in the Ingleside game. They didn't appear that fast last season.

This year in the two games i've seen they run the ball more with different backs and each is fast, shifty and can power run with that big offensive line. They still can pass some but not deep like last year in playoffs. This year defensively they have a very good defensive line and plenty of speed in secondary. They are faster this season than last season imo.

WHS gave up some critical plays in defense in passing game and were stymied too many times on offense. I am not ready to say team played well but I agree Taylor had some talent and a goooood offensive scheme that was being executed well. And....WHS did make some great offensive plays when game was on the line and shut down run game of Taylor late which is often the opposite of what happens when facing the Slot T

Thats so true Wimbo, you have said it all along that we weren't there yet, but the thing was to improve every week. ( I had to stand corrected on my code something def comments before Taylor) but all eleven and subs ins did much better and improved against Gz for sure. We must do that same improvement this week too, I believe Sweeny is probably better than Taylor and have the same mind set of "nothing to loose, balls to the walls" PLUS unlike Taylor they have a revenge from last year factor as well. So we need to improve and play x % better this week than last week. And also, my opinion is the offense needs to never let the foot off the accelerator. I liked scoring the late two TD's and by no means was it in your face, it was just finishing the game strong and confident.

Didn't ya'll say he can play some solid "D" too. Don't recall him playing any against GZ. Might have, and I just overlooked it.

Give me a handful of Blakemores any year.

He did not play defense. first game back after 3 1/2 game lay off due to injury. He missed pass on 1st offensive play...I guess he was rusty...LOL! He had INT return for TD and INT of pass in red zone last year in Sweeny game. Great anticipation. Just feels the game.

I love this match up because there is so much respect from both teams and communities. Just like when we played Sinton.

[wimbo_pro]

Ok, here is my take on the Sweeny - Wimberley match-up. But first, the discalimer...I'm just a blow hard fan who has the time on his hands (lately anyways, start the travelling again this Saturday!). This is all in fun, no disrespect meant, and I could be COMPLETELY wrong...but I doubt it.:) I'll give two different views on it, then wrap it up with my "homer" prediction.

On one of the other threads, "OldNavy" is talking about Massey's Rankings. Not the perfect predictor, but so far this play off season, Massey's has been some where in the 80% range when picking the winner. Thats pretty good. So what does a good look at the Massey numbers tell us about this game?
http://www.adjustedstats.com/ratings-stats/txhsfbratings.php?year=2011&class=3A

On Defense, Wimberley has an overwhelmingly stronger number than Sweeny (17.74 versus 7.13)
(remember that last week Gonzales had a higher number than Wimberley at 18.57, and we tore that defense up. Also note that Wharton and Devine are even lower than Sweeny, but thats for next week's discussion) Five other teams in DII bracket are higher than Wimberely in Defense ranking, by the way.

On Offense, Wimberley is ranked far higher than Sweeny (47.08 versus 32.80)
Both Gonzales and Taylor were higher in their Offensive ranking than Sweeny going in to each game.

And these numbers have come about with Wimberley playing a far tougher schedule than Sweeny (38.55 versus 28.58)
Both Gonzales and Taylor had tougher schedules than Sweeny as well, and Taylor had a tougher schedule than Wimberley as well at 44.52, an important point

The Power Ranking also has Wimberley overwhelmingly stronger than Sweeny (64.82 versus 39.94)
In the DII bracket, the only remaining team worse than Sweeny in Power Rating is Van Alstyne. Gonzales was much closer to Wimberely but less, and Taylor was ranked lower than Sweeny

Wimberley has scored 41 ppg, while Sweeny has scored 30 ppg, and Wimberley has allowed 14.63 ppg and Sweeny has allowed 17.91 ppg.
Keep in mind the schedules played by each team, Wimberley did this with a much tougher opponent over all.

Massey ranks Wimberley as #4 in the state, and ranks Sweeny as #59. Massey's "predictor" gives Wimberley the win with a 91.2% probability, final score 40 - 15 Wimberley.

So, if I didn't know anything about this game, this region, or even this state's football teams, and I had only these stats to go by, I would have to say it is going to be a lopsided event, with subs coming in in the mid-4th quarter. Not even close.

But here's the deal...Taylor was predicted at an even WORSE percent (I think it was a 97% win chance for Wimberley to win). So what happened? There were extenuating circumstances in Taylors case...injuries, new system, new coach, etc. which had them lose their first 5. Then, their schedule was TOUGH. They caught fire their last 3 games. So...is there anything like this to hang a hat on regarding Sweeny?? I don't think there is....not to the extent of Taylor's situation.

So, taking the stats and my homerism...mix it all together, I say Wimberley will dominate Sweeny from start to finish. Sweeny has never seen an offense that has the power and the flexibility that Wimberley has. Our defense will bend, but will adjust to smother their running game. They will have to go to the air, which will lead to turn overs. Our special teams will eat them up.

Final score: Wimberley 45 Sweeny 17
But hey...I could be COMPLETELY wrong....

[YTBulldogs]

Great read wimbo. Dude does his homework for sure, and his new play-pretty (Massey Rankings) sure has been dead on for the most part in predicting.

One thing wimbo stated to me Friday, when I was telling him GZ still had a chance at the break.

"Wimberley will put this away in the 2nd half. Wimberley is a second half team"--wimbo

Well, he nailed that, as did the Texans. Can't argue your take on this game wimbo. But, one thing Massey can't predict, how a team will perform on a given night and the what "if's". Something tells me, this will be a close one, more like 40-28 Texans. Guess that's considered close after all the blow out predictions I have seen here.

Sweeny, beware of WT back side screens. Best set up, executed I have seen. Nasty and deflating to the opponent. Wind goes right out of the sails when it's successful.

[wimbo_pro]

Great read wimbo. Dude does his homework for sure, and his new play-pretty (Massey Rankings) sure has been dead on for the most part in predicting.

Thats a score I could believe too, YTB. My only thought on the "40" is based on Wimberley averaging 41 against stronger defenses, and then add to it I expect the Texans to GET BETTER EVERY GAME. If we do, we will score more than our average. If we don't get better, we can still win this game...but I will be a little disappointed because what I saw last Friday Night was a team that could be the best that ever played in Wimberley, assuming they take another step up like they did from the Taylor game. We arent there yet....but closing the gap.

[YTBulldogs]

Don't kick it deep either Sweeny. Dern sure not to Blakemore. Bounce, hop and skip the KO. Short high lofted angle kicks to the 35 the best option IMO.

Every time Blakemore touched it the other night, I figured it was going to the house.

Yes, an electric type player. Blakemores return is like getting a traded player from the AL to the NL at playoff time. Big boost to an already great team.

Ok, here is my take on the Sweeny - Wimberley match-up. But first, the discalimer...I'm just a blow hard fan who has the time on his hands (lately anyways, start the travelling again this Saturday!). This is all in fun, no disrespect meant, and I could be COMPLETELY wrong...but I doubt it.:) I'll give two different views on it, then wrap it up with my "homer" prediction.

On one of the other threads, "OldNavy" is talking about Massey's Rankings. Not the perfect predictor, but so far this play off season, Massey's has been some where in the 80% range when picking the winner. Thats pretty good. So what does a good look at the Massey numbers tell us about this game?
http://www.adjustedstats.com/ratings-stats/txhsfbratings.php?year=2011&class=3A

On Defense, Wimberley has an overwhelmingly stronger number than Sweeny (17.74 versus 7.13)
(remember that last week Gonzales had a higher number than Wimberley at 18.57, and we tore that defense up. Also note that Wharton and Devine are even lower than Sweeny, but thats for next week's discussion) Five other teams in DII bracket are higher than Wimberely in Defense ranking, by the way.

On Offense, Wimberley is ranked far higher than Sweeny (47.08 versus 32.80)
Both Gonzales and Taylor were higher in their Offensive ranking than Sweeny going in to each game.

And these numbers have come about with Wimberley playing a far tougher schedule than Sweeny (38.55 versus 28.58)
Both Gonzales and Taylor had tougher schedules than Sweeny as well, and Taylor had a tougher schedule than Wimberley as well at 44.52, an important point

The Power Ranking also has Wimberley overwhelmingly stronger than Sweeny (64.82 versus 39.94)
In the DII bracket, the only remaining team worse than Sweeny in Power Rating is Van Alstyne. Gonzales was much closer to Wimberely but less, and Taylor was ranked lower than Sweeny

Wimberley has scored 41 ppg, while Sweeny has scored 30 ppg, and Wimberley has allowed 14.63 ppg and Sweeny has allowed 17.91 ppg.
Keep in mind the schedules played by each team, Wimberley did this with a much tougher opponent over all.

Massey ranks Wimberley as #4 in the state, and ranks Sweeny as #59. Massey's "predictor" gives Wimberley the win with a 91.2% probability, final score 40 - 15 Wimberley.

So, if I didn't know anything about this game, this region, or even this state's football teams, and I had only these stats to go by, I would have to say it is going to be a lopsided event, with subs coming in in the mid-4th quarter. Not even close.

But here's the deal...Taylor was predicted at an even WORSE percent (I think it was a 97% win chance for Wimberley to win). So what happened? There were extenuating circumstances in Taylors case...injuries, new system, new coach, etc. which had them lose their first 5. Then, their schedule was TOUGH. They caught fire their last 3 games. So...is there anything like this to hang a hat on regarding Sweeny?? I don't think there is....not to the extent of Taylor's situation.

So, taking the stats and my homerism...mix it all together, I say Wimberley will dominate Sweeny from start to finish. Sweeny has never seen an offense that has the power and the flexibility that Wimberley has. Our defense will bend, but will adjust to smother their running game. They will have to go to the air, which will lead to turn overs. Our special teams will eat them up.

Final score: Wimberley 45 Sweeny 17

"Wimberley is a second half team"--wimbo


Say what? I think we've had one game all season (Bandera) where we had a bigger margin in the 2nd half than in the 1st.

[wimbo_pro]

Say what? I think we've had one game all season (Bandera) where we had a bigger margin in the 2nd half than in the 1st.

Yeah, but thats when we let up, put in subs, etc. I am talking about our ability to adjust and shut down the opponent (Coach Smith) and re-align our offensive scheme to take advantage of what we have seen thusfar. Wimberley (Nelms) has a long history of making the proper adjustments in the 2nd half, in games that were close. I think its been shown over the years that when its a tough, close game...Wimberley is more deadly in the 2nd half than the 1st (remember Coldspring didnt score in the 2nd half..unfortunately, we didnt either due to their athleticism).

Also note that Taylor was wearing down the 2nd half, and Gonzales was definitely worn down come the 4th quarter. I say we are also conditioned better.

Your trying so hard to keep your players from over-looking Sweeny, I commend you for that. But Wimberley is a 30 point favorite. They are all back from last year and they have a chip on their shoulder from not beating Coldspring last year. Roughly a 100 more students in the school and Sweeny's number's are down as far as players in the program. http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Thinking/thinking-023.GIF

Good advice...I have no doubt thats exactly what the coaches are telling the players. Of course, any team...on any given night...can beat any other team. That goes without saying. We MUST improve this Friday.

By the way, and for what its worth, Massey's says Gonzales would have beaten Sweeny by more than 2 touchdowns.

[wimbo_pro]

Yes it is...like I said, 80% accuracy. This accuracy will drop as we get deeper into the play offs and as the teams become closer in talent, the outcomes of the games are affected more by intangibles and a few critical plays.

I am the worrier of the bunch...someone would have to convince me that Sinton and Rio Hondo were just not that good of teams despite their good seasons to keep me from worrying. One of Rio Hondo's losses came at the hand of Sinton in a hotly contested affair. Sweeny dominated both teams!!!!! If WHS is clicking then a team has to be really, really special on defense to hold them down like Coldspring was last year. But I have seen them come out flat this year after big games and week before perceived big games....just saying. It is always about match ups at the right time of year. If they are not flat...I like Texans' chances....REMEMBER THE DUCKS and boys do not listen to SHSBULLDOG00's propaganda LOL:wave::)!!!!

This is a great way to vent and express ourselves as long as we keep it clean and not make derogatory comments about school officials, coaches, players, communities and the fans.

The coaches and their players spend more time together than with their families. As a former player I looked to my Coaches as Father Figure's and my Teammates as Brothers. We are a Family; When we step on the field you are my enemy but because we have sacrificed so much no matter where we attend school, when the game is over we are a Brotherhood, of Coaches, Current Players and Former Players. Texas High School Football: THE BEST FRATERNITY IN THE WORLD. Good Luck to everyone involved and GOD BLESS!!!!!

We were NOT clicking on offense last year. That was the difference in the game. Our defense learned how to stop them in the 2nd half, but we never "clicked" on offense. In other words, we did not get better in that game.

Nothing wrong with acknowledging a team in front of you as being a tough road to hoe. I see some people here actually predict their teams loss without quailifying it, like:

"Wow, those guys are gonna be tough, and I know what the stats say and what others say...but if we play our best game, and get a little lucky here and there...we could sling a perfectly aimed stone and steal this game from Goliath. I believe we can do it!!"

Better than saying "we're toast.", in my view.

[SHSBulldog00]

I will be cheering hard in the stands for my Dog's don't get me wrong. Wimberley will be the toughest opponent we will have faced all year.

None taken. Our coaches haven't been on here yet. They may be on later in the week or maybe not. They haven't said much on the board since the playoffs started. But I am sure they are sneaking a look at the post as they prepare for Friday. I think our coach likes to play on Saturday's but Look's like you won that toss.

[SHSBulldog00]

I love playing this late in the season, been a while since we were 4 rounds deep. We really thought we were going deeper last year but the way the brackets are drawn up we had, and again have to play the best team in the Region a week early.

Too bad Wimberley and Columbia couldn't play I would LOVE to see that one.

Hey Wimbo maybe you could call coach Surovik at WC and set one up next year at a neutral site for non district?

Sweeny defense keeps producing like they have in the first half they have a good chance of causing havoc later in the game.

What can I say...I am in touch with my mature, feminine side!!!!! Plus...Sweeny not talking smack like other fan bases and hangers on so it is hard to get toooo agressive on here. If Wimberley plays well they should win unless Sweeny is just hitting their stride and comes out of left field.

WHS was 7-3 going into playoffs in 04. Got on a roll late and barely lost to Cureo in 2nd round. Next year 15-0 SC's. Mostly for players benefits. If they play like they did last week...gonna be tough on Sweeny. Although differnt type match up this week. WHS pretty good at defending run so we will see.

Yes, through other channels as well. We dont see much of him during football season and baseball season, but when he is around, he is a hoot! He has a deep, country voice, very rich and smooth. We play classic rock and roll (mostly 70's with a little 60's and a little 80's) and he joins us once in a while for a song or two.

I see a lot of Wimberley's key players are Seniors, what do the underclassmen look like for the future? I'm sure they will be solid contributors.

Do you have another player transferring in from another school like Lambert did last year from Aledo?

Not that we know of regarding transfers, SHSB. We didnt know about Lambert till the summer, as far as I know. I sure hope so though!
We have some quality underclassmen coming up, we will be a good team. However, we are starting a BUNCH of seniors this year. I would bet we will return maybe 5-8 starters...thats a big drop from this year (didnt we return 15 starters or somethnig like that?). Returning starters is usually (not always though) an indication of the depth and quality of the upcoming season.

I would bet we will return maybe 5-8 starters...thats a big drop from this year (didnt we return 15 starters or somethnig like that?). Returning starters is usually (not always though) an indication of the depth and quality of the upcoming season.

True We have 26 Seniors many of which were on JV last year. But we are young on offense.

[Manso/V8]

I see a lot of Wimberley's key players are Seniors, what do the underclassmen look like for the future? I'm sure they will be solid contributors.

Do you have another player transferring in from another school like Lambert did last year from Aledo?

That was an impressive recruiting job.

[Gone Fishing]

That was an impressive recruiting job.


Thats funny.

[SHSBulldog00]

That was an impressive recruiting job.

Brady Lambert was a LB at Aledo as a Soph and wanted to play QB. So the story goes his family or grandparents moved to Wimberley or something and he was the QB last year and this year for the Texans. He is a great asset and any team would be lucky to get a move-in like him.

His entire family uprooted, sold their businesses (4 restaurants) and moved to Wimberley. Father has opened another restaurant in this area. They have 2 other kids younger than the QB. They are great people, glad to have them in the community. Hope we get more families willing to do the same...dont care if you call it recruiting or not. To move to a school district in DFW is recruiting. To move to the Hill Country (and Wimberley in particular) is God's way of saying "bless you my son". LOL

Why we're at it, Sweeny is a nice quiet town where those in the BIG cities can move. We are an hour south of Houston and only 30 minute's from the beach.lol

No contest here this game will be over early. Wimberly dominates by as much as they want. Rest the starters at half and get ready to play the Sadler Express Toooot Tooooot! Chuga Chuga Chuga!

I have to say I don't agree with you jp. Wish it were that easy... however, and this of course is JMO but... I sincerely believe there is no stopping us now from playing for the SC. We respect Sweeny and what they bring so they will have our full attention. In other words we are not concerned with Devine or Wharton, at least for this week. Best of luck against Wharton.

Yup, Every week will be a battle to get prepared for. I believe this team and group of coaches will do that without a doubt. (be prepared) I'll have to steal one from Ben Hogan, " no matter what happens, Good or Bad, the only thing that matters is the next shot".

[SHSBulldog00]

IMO The most hated team in Region IV for the last few years is Wimberley. Everyone usually is pulling for their opponent to knock them off every week. However this week it is not the case.

Cuero used to be the team everyone loved to hate.

When I say hate you can say respected or feared but people are tired of all their success. But in order to BE the Best, You have to Beat the Best.

[SHSBulldog00]

Even though I know how this poll will end up I decided I would add one.

Yep...gotta go with the coaching experience on this one. The talent is there for Wimberley to dominate, its up to the coaching staff to bring it to the surface for this game. I beleive they will.

Will some of your coaching staff spend the night in Victoria after the game so they can see Sadler on Saturday in Sinton?lol

[wimbo_pro]

Since its an early game for us on Friday, I bet they go home then return for the game on Saturday. Assuming we win Friday, its a big deal for them to be able to see the competition for the upcoming game! If we don't win Friday...highly doubt they'll go to Sinton!! LOL

My dads friend ,who is a coach at Sweeny, was home for an early thanksgiving. Was saying SHS doesn't stand much of a chance vs WHS, that they've just been lucky thus far and haven't faced any real competition throughout season.

My great-aunt, who is a football coach at Wimberley, told my daughter that Wimberley has been lucky to win all their games because of their lack of athletes and is gonna get destroyed Friday.

You should ALWAYS give HS football opponents a chance...regardless of the lopsidedness in the stats. Thats a "given" in my book. There is always a "Rudy" story out there waiting to be told.

Manso- it is kind of like one of there tackles been home schooled till the year. He is only 6 some and 300 lbs. Did he walk up to the school barefoot saying I wana play foosball. They do have a very good team. I just don't think Sweeny can keep up with them.

It doesn't matter. Ya'll have a very good team. Should have a very long playoff run.

[LionFan72]

I think it will be a good game for the first half, and the Texans kick it in gear for a pull away win. Wimberly 21+.

It is true....RT was a home school kid until late last year. He had played some 6-man home school ball...I think. He is about 6'6" and 290. He will play basketball as well.
