Region I Week 7 GotW: Stephenville(5-1) Vs. Alvarado(6-1)

[COBRAFOOTBALL]

I'm going to go ahead and start this thread since there is no excitement playing Hillsboro.

Alvarado Vs. Stephenville will be a great game!!!! Alvarado should experience its largest home crowd in their history. Glad I got my tickets!!! Alvarado fans if you don't have yours you better get them.

Things to think about:

4-1 Stephenville is tested this year already and has proven to be a contender. Some say favored to win D1 State Championship. What they bring is a high octane offense and lots of tradition. An aerial attack that's hard to contain. A RB that is very capable. I don't know much about their defense.

5-1 Alvarado is proven to be a good ballclub coming off a State D1 championship appearance in 2011. Known to be a powerhouse they will give Stephenville fits with a good ground attack. And a good QB who has poise and has been in these big games since his sophmore yr. Alvarados Defense has not given up more than 20 points since 11/19/2010.

My prediction: If Alvarado can slow the passing attack and keep them under 20 pts. I feel Alvarado can pull off the upset 28-20. But to do this they need to keep the penalties and turnovers out completely. In no way is Alvarado getting blown out. Those days are gone. The coaching is too good.

Both teams are extremely well coached and this will be a rivalry that we will enjoy for many years to come!

[COBRAFOOTBALL]

I expect this thread to blow up after Stephenville Vs. Glen Rose game tonight!

[Ville-D]

I can't wait.

[theville]

No way Alvarado holds Stephenville under 20.

[defense51]

No way Alvarado holds Stephenville under 20.
:lies:

[ahs_indian_fan]

Just an FYI - while the defense has been very good the last couple years, Robinson did score 26 in last season's opener.

The biggest factor next week will be Alvarado's passing game. If Alvarado can throw the ball they will have a chance, however if the Indians continue to struggle in that area the Indians chances take a huge hit.

[Ville]

Any big boys from Alvarado willing to risk some jack?:taunt:

[hollywood]

COBRAFOOTBALL, I love your optimism!! There's a LOT of if's for Alvarado in your analysis though. Don't hold your breath too long about a blowout. BTW.. what do you consider a blowout? 21+ points?

I know Alvarado is a very good team and is building a rich tradition in their program. Coach Dixon has done a great job. Looking forward to it!

[IndianFan2012]

Looking forward to a great game!

[Eagle11]

Alvarado better learn the throw the ball in the next two week because if they dont it will be a long game.

They just might...... Alvarado D is one of the best in the state.......

Yes Id say 21+ is a blowout. If that happens I will be on SVilles bandwagon to win a championship. Heck kinda on it now...... Except for our game! lol!

Eagle they didnt throw against Decatur because of the wind... Plus our ground attack chewed up all we needed. Heck we left 2 scores out there due to miscues. My son had a 48 yard TD called back due to holding. I watched the video.. There was no hold.. Could have been much worse. Im sure Stephenville will try to stack the box just like everyone else does. I bet West has a good game throwing.. 150 yds in the air will make things nice though!

im know we are no Ville or any other top team but we had two interceptions in the game and it had nothing to do with the wind. good luck with all of that. i know you are upset about not getting all of your style points that you hoped for. just go back and look at your game tape and you can find plenty of holding if you stop looking thru your purple glasses. the Ville by 21

I would agree that Alvarado has one of the better D's in 3A. Maybe not as strong as last years though. We'll see. If Alvarado holds Stephenville to under 20 points, I'll be shocked. Alvarado's D looks similar to what Amaraillo had. Not huge up front but very good technique and scrappy.

If watching video on Stephenville, it's hard to realize how big the O-line and D-line are. Both execute very well and have been fatiguing the opposition. Stephenville plays hard for 4 qtrs.

Nah, just a few less than that. Stephenville only has 1000 students total. ;)

[ccmom]

I tried to look up Alavardo's stadium on TexasBob but there's not a pic. One of you peace pipe smokers needs to submit a pic to them.

Does the stadium really seat 2500? If so, y'all are gonna be packed in like sardines for this game. Should make for a fun atmosphere!!

[theville]

Nope just 30. Aledo did have 80 and we beat them by 13. Go Figure..:stirpot:

Not huge up front? really? Look again at Brazos Fuller #99 and Dylan Lemons #89 Both 250+ lbs and Fuller may get all state recognition this yr.

Huge for Alvarado standards maybe. I didn't say Alvarado doesn't have size, just not huge. The little O-lines Alvarado's D-line is used to playing won't compare to what they'll face against the Ville's! :tisk::wave:

[Hendo]

Im pretty sure Stephenville has played plenty of teams with quite a bit more student to pick from. Dont throw your "they have more students" crap on us. :bigcry:

Fort Worth.......nuff said.

[toddg]

Fort Worth.......nuff said.

Southwest will give Aledo all they want this year..just because Ft worth teams usually suck, they are the exception.

[toddg]

Just because Alvarado doesnt pass alot, doesnt mean they cant pass well...most of the time, they dont have to..
if i had to compare West to anybody, it would be Bishop..very similer in a lot of ways...arm stength,accuracy, size, leadership, grasp of offense, experiance..most of all..mental/emotional approach to the game...in other words he's a pit bull out there.

with Alvarado and Stephenville, you get two very contrasting offensive game styles, but..two very similer defensive styles..this is going to be a very interesting game to watch from a spectator point of view regardless which colors you wear..

most of us Alvarado folks on here went to school in Alvarado so our purple blood runs pretty deep..the program coach Dixon and staff has built..we are extremly proud of...we dont have the great tradition Stepenville has, but we are working on it..and on the right track.

Thats a mighty thin limb youre out on.... So far you give Alvarado no credit.... wow.. funny.. Alvarado is proven and still no love? Alvarado will do just fine against Stephenville. We are the opposite style of team than GR. More ball control. Slower paced. POWER running game. Good luck when your D line gets winded.. Its off to the races.... May the best team win. Smack talk time!

Show me what ya got!

Like I said, as of now I'm sticking to my guns. Prove me wrong. GR controlled possession. Their game plan was keep away. GR time of possession 30 min!! SV 18 min!! SV D played hard for 4qtrs. AV is going to need more than a power running game. I can tell you that.

GR is big, strong and their RB #22 is a stud!

[Sville]

The Jackets will beat Alvarado by 4 TDs

[Ville-D]

Or more.

[hollywood]

One other thing before I sign off. SV longest drive was 4 min. Who is AV going to key on SV offense? There's too many weapons. 300 yds passing 200 yards rushing. Held GR to 385 yrd offense who was gaining over 500 yrds/game. SV defense has some work to do against the spread. They can stop the run.

Ok, I'll stay up a little longer. 20 players? The key players graduated. Different team this year. I give Alvarado credit. Great young program no doubt! Will be a great atmosphere next Friday. SV has a huge target on their back. Every team they face will be more than up for the challenge. That's what's so great about Texas HS football! Any team is beatable. Just takes a few mistakes against good teams to create an upset.

The injuns better have scouted well tonight. It's going to ale more than a power running game to overcome 48 points! ;)

[hollywood]

#9 is a baller too. He just ran out of gas.

Yes! And the QB #10, WR #4 and #21.

We bring a quick, well coached defense that has yet to allow more than 14 points in a game also.

That's very applauding defense51! No doubt that AV has a good D. But tell me who on AV schedule can even compare to SV offense? Or even GR For that matter. Me thinks nada! Zero! Zilch! Not even close! :tisk:

[defense51]

Hollywood, I'm not arguing that we've played anyone close to the offensive power of Stephenville, but the Indians defense will keep the game close. They are young and outsized week in and week out, but play much bigger than their actual size. We will pressure the QB with our quickness and #99 will stop pretty much anything in the middle.

of the 20, 11 were stone cold starters..Stephenville has exactly 0 players who have played in a game past the qtr.finals..GR has exactly 0 that has played past round 2 and every player from GR that played a significant role tonite, we have faced in game for 2 years..so we are not suprised, like so many Stephenville folks apparently are, how good they are..big game experience means something..im just saying we wont be awe struck.

defense51, if Alvarado's D is close to last years D, I love they way they play. Hard, fast, and deciplined. Cause havoc up the middle and edges. SV O-line will be in for a challenge without question. What's even more of a challenge is how opposing defenses have to plan stop SV offense. One thing I can assure you, this weeks practices will be good for both teams. :clap::clap:

[toddg]

How'd that work out for you? :taunt:

we lost by one point to a team that was bigger, and faster than Stephenville...we had our chances in that game.

You have somewhat a point. But, you can't put too much stock in that rant about last year! Lol
Most SV folks didn't see GR play last year. I did and can say without a doubt, they are much improved from last year. You won't get to see for a few weeks but soon enough. ;)

[hollywood]

I disagree with that comment. CH would have lost to SV last year by at least 2 TD's IMO.

[COBRAFOOTBALL]

Boy I love this thread! Alvarado by 14.

[ahs_indian_fan]

I'm sure Stephenville's offense is more disciplined than Southwest's but holding Southwest to 13 was a feat that won't be matched by anyone else - including Aledo. The best thing for Alvarado's defense heading into next week is that the two playmakers in the secondary appear to be healthy for the first time since the Southwest game.

[COBRAFOOTBALL]

One thing is sure. SV offense. GREAT. Avarado defense is really good. Much better than GR. IMO. and our offense is pretty dang good. Won't be a game of see who can run the score up and who can catch ya. It could come down to a mistake on either side. I hear names from SV and how great they are. This is true. But let me tell u something. Alvarado has a few stars of their own. Just in case u haven't been watching. We have a starting backfield that has flat out score TDs. U wanna see who they are? Look em up. We know. :) It's our lil secret. Well maybe not a secret.

More desciplined? How about more explosive too! You'll be a little shell shocked at first when you see SV move the ball at will. Just hang in there, you'll get a chance at GR or Venus.

[Sville]

Alvarado is a lesser version of Amarillo. It is a matchup thing, what the Indians try to do plays right into our strengths. Sville will score 30 or 40 something and the Indians won't get into the 20's.

[COBRAFOOTBALL]

Hahahaha

[Sville]

This game will be easier than Glen Rose

[hollywood]

Indians are in the upset alert mode. It's a given Stephenville and Glen Rose will beat them.. The unknown is how Venus will do. Possible early basketball season for Alvarillo! :1popcorn:

Alvarado by 41!

:fnypost: Do I really need to say it again? :crazy:

[toddg]

No they weren't yes they were

[OldBison75]

Just an outsiders opinion, but:

Alvarado will be a tougher defense for Stephenville than Glen Rose. However, I think the Alvarado offense will have trouble against the Stepehenville defense. They won't have a chance to win unless they can put together a strong passing attack. Alvarado will score, but they will have to grind out the yards the hard way.

Stephenville 28
Alvarado 14

[defense51]

yes they were

I believe they were, both sides of the line for CHill were huge.

[hollywood]

I believe they were, both sides of the line for CHill were huge.

Subject that's debatable to no end.

This year, Alvarillo is in for a tough road to get out of district much less make a playoff run!

I know how you feel Alvarado fans. Yall had a great team LAST year with a few hold overs this year, and yall want to believe so desperately that this years bunch is as good.

Glen Rose will beat Alvarado. Or its going to be damn close.

[hollywood]

You know this thread is going to become and be merged with the Region 1 Week 7 GotW! :clap:

[TXfootballboi!]

well one i know alvarado is very well coached and will be prepared. they might not have the talent as the did last year but they have enough. but stephenville is big and fast. way bigger then chapel hill. they were a 4a team and if you can hold johnanthan gray to only 250 yards last year you are pretty damn good. but it will be a good game.

[Sville]

One little, two little, three little Injuns,
four little, five little, six little Injuns,
Seven little, eight little, nine little Injuns,
Ten little, and eleven Injun boys.
Eleven little Injuns once apon a when,
One got his helmet knocked off then there were ten;
Ten little Injuns standin' on the line,
One got scared at the Jackets and then there were nine;
Nine little Injuns lined up in the swingin' gate,
One pee’d his pants and then there were eight.
Eight little Injuns happiest under heav'n.
One went to the locker room and then there were seven;
Seven little Injuns throwin picks,
One crapped their pants and then there were six.
Six little Injuns all alive,
One threw a punch and then there were five;
Five little Injuns at the locker room door,
One wouldn’t come out then there were four.
Four little Injuns trying to flee,
Only one got away and then there were three;
Three little Injuns that didn’t have a clue,
One was too dumb and then there were two.
Two little Injuns that weighed a ton,
One ran out of gas and then there was one;
One little Injun playin' all alone,
He got ear holed and then there were none.

[defense51]

Glen Rose will beat Alvarado. Or its going to be damn close.

Let me me rephrase this so it means the same thing. Glen Rose will beat Alvarado or they might not... :1omg!:

no visions of grandiose here..heck we are over joyed with the opening of a Taco Bell here last week! no reality ck needed..our football team has and always will earn everything the hard way, thats just who the Alvarado Indians are..and those players and coaches know we will be there to support them no matter what! thats who we are! our players and coaches will work hard this week, just like any other week and hopefully pull out a win.

i wanna know who the person was that said we actaully had to worry about venus?? really? they play 2a teams Alvarado is def not worried about them and shouldnt be. Alvarado will come prepared for this stephenville game like they did the state game. the football team will play hard! they have enough playmakers in hardy and mcneil! the defense can hold its own. granted tyler bates or aj castillo arent on that D but they will brin everything they have i know that for sure

[TXfootballboi!]

nah i see fine. just bc stephenville is bigger and faster doesnt mean that they will blow alvarado out? i mean they did play in the state game last year against a very great chapel hill team. that chapel hill team could have played against stephenville. they are well coached and im pretty sure alvarados head coach has about 3 state rings... so being prepared wont being a issue.

I tried to look up Alavardo's stadium on TexasBob but there's not a pic. One of you peace pipe smokers needs to submit a pic to them.

Does the stadium really seat 2500? If so, y'all are gonna be packed in like sardines for this game. Should make for a fun atmosphere!!

i'll see what i can do about that!! i usually go to google maps and look at the sat. image of stadiums...you can really scope the parking situation.

[PurpleReign2011]

Well......this should be a very fun game. My thoughts....Alvarado can win, but to do so they are going to have to play much better than they have been playing. They are going to have to be in Stephenville's face all night on defense. Stephenville is going to score points. So we just need to play physical. We need to stunt like crazy and pressure that QB like no other. And while we have a young defense, I think we can stop them from time to time. As for the offense, Stephenville can't score points if their offense is not on the field. Alvarado is going to have to wear them down. And we don't really have the backs we've had in years past. Hardy and McNeil are good, but they are no Wayne or Broham. Because of this, our passing game is critical. We need to be able to complete passes, just enough to keep 8 people out of the box. And honestly, Kenny West and our receivers can do it, if they come ready to play. We need to be physical and just get first downs. If our offense can keep the ball and our defense can light a fire under that OB's tail, keeping them under 20 points is not out of the question. Its been done before. My personal favorite example, the one Coach Dixon uses all the time, Katy over South Lake in 2003. Katy won 16 to 15 against a very explosive offense lead by QB Chase Daniels I believe. And the first drive of the game Katy made an 18 play drive, then punted. Then they scored on a 15 play drive. They controlled the clock, and that resulted in a win. A close win. I guess the bottom line is that if we play physical, drive the ball on offense, and pressure them on defense, we can win. If we do all those things, I say we can win by a very close margin. Anywhere between 1 and 7 pts. However, there is a reason Stephenville is the favorite. They are very good. All around. And we need to play perfect. But If Stephenville does win, it will not be a blow out.

[Sville]

Ha, Alvarado won't hold the Jackets under 30 much less 20. And if they do I am making a donation to Foster's Home for Children in Coach Dixon's name.

Stephenville has played a very tough schedule and come out in pretty good shape so far. Alvarado has not been tested quite like Stephenville, but if we are honest, we know they are gonna be a tough team to beat. The danger in this game is that the tough schedule for Stephenville may be taking some toll with bumps, bruises and injuries. Is #6 really out for the season? Heard he had to have surgery!!!

As good a Stephenville is, they can't afford too many injuries and better be at the top of their game every week because they have a target on the middle of their chest. Alvarado is good enough to win if the Jackets slip just a little. Glen Rose proved that Stephenville is human and can be beat if a good team gets a few breaks.

Alvarado has been getting ready for this game all year and will be ready. My upset special this week has Alvarado winning 28-24!!!!!

First and most important, I hate to see anyone injured and #6 is a tough dude. He'll recover but probably out for the season.
Second, Stephenville just came off of a bye before playing GR. Other than #6 being out, Stephenville is healthy! There are at least 2 players to fill #6's spot.
Third, Stephenville has played a tougher schedule so far. I can see where you think this could be a negative blow for them thinking they'll be banged up a bit, but it's actually the opposite. It's made them tougher and helped prepare for the Glen Rose's, Avarado's, Abilene Wylie's etc...

They know Alvarado will be prepared and will know they will be tough. Trust me, know one in Stephenville truly is over looking Alvarado this week. It's going to be a hard hitting game for 4 quarters.

I hope you are right about being ready. I am just basing my prediction on the fact that Alvarado has been looking forward to this game all year and will be fired up big time. This is the chance they have to be considered legitimate championship contenders. Stephenville is in the playoffs in Division 1 and will be a major force there. Alvarado has the chance to upset the Jackets and make everybody in Division 2 rethink the playoff picture.

On paper, Stephenville should win by two touchdowns, but on the field, with the way kids emotions and momentum swings on every play, if Alvarado can get a good start in this game, they will only get tougher to beat.

The spread offense is for powder puff football, that's where it originated and where it belongs. Real football teams establish the run and then work in the passing game.

The Alamo....

Made me LOL

[Ville-D]

Just an outsiders opinion, but:

Alvarado will be a tougher defense for Stephenville than Glen Rose. However, I think the Alvarado offense will have trouble against the Stepehenville defense. They won't have a chance to win unless they can put together a strong passing attack. Alvarado will score, but they will have to grind out the yards the hard way.

Stephenville 28
Alvarado 14

[COBRAFOOTBALL]

Whos Mookie? Whats he done for ya lately?

[OldBison75]

I can pick any way I want. I don't have a horse in the race and after the first week in our district it looks like Navasota will likely go Division 2 and won't get to see Stephenville. With that said, Stephenville has given up over 1000 yards rushing this year and lost a starting LB to injury last week. Alvarado has over 1500 yards rushing on the year. Alvarado's strength is Stephenville's weakness according to the stats from this year. You can throw all the tougher opponents crap you want out there, but, until you prove you can stop a good running team, it is what it is.

I think Stephenville would win 2 outta 3 against Alvarado, but I think that this week will be Alvarado's week. This is the week they prove to 3A that they are a legitimate contender.

[defense51]

Since Hollywood refers to us as Alvorillo, I think it's only fitting to rename Stephenville as Sterileville for the remainder of this thread. STERILEVILLE :redX:

i like it!

[Ville-D]

I can pick any way I want. I don't have a horse in the race and after the first week in our district it looks like Navasota will likely go Division 2 and won't get to see Stephenville. With that said, Stephenville has given up over 1000 yards rushing this year and lost a starting LB to injury last week. Alvarado has over 1500 yards rushing on the year. Alvarado's strength is Stephenville's weakness according to the stats from this year. You can throw all the tougher opponents crap you want out there, but, until you prove you can stop a good running team, it is what it is.

OK. If we win then I guess you can say it was one of the other 2 weeks...

I think he was a pre-season all state selection, wasn't he?

I think he was a pre-season all state selection, wasn't he?

In DCTF he was 7-3A Pre-Season Defensive MVP
In FNF he was Pre-Season All State DB

Last year he was an All State DB selection in 4a as a sophomore (had 7 ints on the year)

You will find that I make my picks based on the information available, not on hometown emotion. I may not always be right, but at least I am not afraid to be honest when making a pick and justifying the reason why. The stats I used in this pick were directly from your own site and from maxpreps, they were not made up. Alvarado will be as good a rushing team as any you have faced this year and defensively they are better than you think.

Oh Max Preps has #8 with 13 Tds.. He has 17.. they didnt add his 4 from Decatur....

[TXfootballboi!]

that number 8 can run that ball... the ville will have a hard time containing him.. and then espically since the indians have add number 11 to the mix they will have a good night

Don't know why you are defensive, I just wanted to be sure I knew what you were picking. Your opinion is very important to us... So for now I have you down for an Alvarado victory. I guess if you decide to filp-flop again then well... I guess it is a free country.

It is funny, most of the time one is right with their first impression.

Keep reading those tea leaves.

BTW, I hear that Navasota has great stats. What cupcake do y'all play this week?

[OldBison75]

I'm not the defensive one. I picked the game close in the first place and changed after finding out about the injury to the linebacker. Just because i don't agree with you does not make me defensive. Hell, I don't agree with our president so I guess I am a traitor too. And, for the record, we play out toughest opponent this week. I hear that that group of men from BYE are vicious hitters and have a very prolific offense, second only to Stephenville.

[OldBison75]

Oh, and the only stat that matters right now is Navasota 0 losses. I am pretty sure that my pick for the Rattlers this week will prove true and we will remain undefeated.

[LHPfactory]

Wow, Sville sounds like 2006 Gilmer or 2009 Brownwood..... :):stirpot::stirpot::stirpot:

All smack aside, this should be a good game(I have a suspicious feeling Sville is gonna light Alvarado up), I hope Alvarado wins though, so when LH beats the Indians in the play offs we will own the Jackets also...

Alvarado better have a great plan with fantastic execution to pull off the win this Friday though....

if Alvarado and LH do meet in the playoffs..it will be the quikest game ever played.
there is always the possibility of getting lit up..thats true for any good match up..

though i think the Jackets O is close to unstoppable, they can be slowed down..and the key is solid defense and the OLine executing with effeciency for which i am very confident..it will be a 4 qtr. game no doubt.

[Smitty]

Unless Alvarado stirs up some kind of passing game, it will be a long night for the Indians. Just ask Beaumont Ozen who has (supposedly) this impressive D1 college running back.....hmmm the Ville held Ozen to 8 yards total offense on the ground. Glen Rose has a team that can run and throw, now thats the type of team that can give the Jackets trouble. If all things shake out where Glen Rose and Navasota meet in the Div11 playoffs my money will be on Glen Rose......by a bunch!

[Sville]

Wrong and wrong OldBison, a one dimensional team will not beat Sville. The Jackets are very good against the run I don't care what numbers you throw out there. We ain't been playing sisters of the blind unlike the baby rattlers. It is also lucky for you that yall are going D2. Navasota reminds me of the 3A version of Brenham, always full of good players but can't ever deliver.

Now back to the regular scheduled programming, these Katyrado fans crack me up. They must think they are the only team in the state that works hard, wants to win bad, and plays with heart.

they managed to beat lavega and amarillo, two pretty good rushing teams...i don't know that those two teams threw 15 passes combined vs stephenville....

Sterileville has given up 131 points this season, and watching the video from Glen Rose the defense is a little slow to react and had to make alot of diving tackles. The offense is no doubt championship caliber, but I wasn't impressed with the Jackets D.

[Sville]

You won't get any argument from me about the Glen Rose game. Coach Dunn had a great game plan and made us look silly at times. They were the first good passing team we have faced and It showed. We have done well against ground based teams this year.

that was the first time they played a team that spread it out as well as they did so that might have had something to do with it (they shut down lavega and amarillo, who are both primarily run teams), glen rose was better than i thought, their QB is good.
before this game, they were only giving up (i think) around 19-20 points per game, which isn't bad.

it was funny watching #9 rumble down the field while our guys just bounced off of him - they finally realized they have to go low to get him down.

[TXfootballboi!]

yea that number 9 from glen rose won state in powerlifting thats why its hard for anybody to bring him down. but dont think to lightly of navasota. they did take chapel hill last year to about the closing mins of the 4th qtr so i know the rattlers are hungry and want to win as much as the ville does and they can throw that ball too!

Never said you needed to agree with me, I just think it is funny when people post 2 scores in forums. I guess that way you have all the bases covered. And yes we lost a great kid Friday night when Logan (#6) hurt his knee, but we have the advantage of having depth and there are kids waiting in line to step in and fill that position. And we have 3 more games to get him 12 quarters of game experience before the playoffs. Don't worry about the Ville Defense we'll be fine.



Does anybody have the stats for what Glen Rose was averaging offensively coming into the Stephenville game?

yeah..i was checking out the stats of the LaVega game and thought to myself..."they really shut them down, didnt they?" of course my impression was probably skewed by the "hi-lite" reel!

237.3 rush

Judging by Glen Rose's previous games, looks like Stephenville defense is on par with China Spring and Mineral Wells.

Do you have passing stats for West for the season to date that you could post? I keep hearing that you have to be able to pass to have a chance against S'ville, so I was just curious as to how much West has gone to the pass this season and with how much success.

Just to recap the GR/SV game. GR has just about as potent offense as SV. The difference was SV's defense. Bend but don't break. SV's D-line is hard to handle. Very physical and fast.

AV folks, go ask your coaches who scouted the game what they thought about both SV and GR? I bet they'll tell you something you won't like to hear.

Never said weak, just stated what I saw in the video and that I wasn't impressed. I gave your offense props and said they were championship caliber. What I saw on the defensive side just wasn't impressive, I think we can score on your defense and control the game enough to keep the ball out of your QB's hands and limit your chances of scoring.

i did! and i liked what they had to say..you think they havent scouted good football teams before? we know what we are facing, we knew it 6 months ago..its no secret how good Sterilville's offense is...and the Indian defense is looking fwd to the challenge, as is our offense..what do you want us to do? send flowers?

[toddg]

Are you challenging my 9 year old or me? im dang good on chess titens! so both!

Obviously the key to shutting down Stephenvilles offense is keeping them off the field. I dont know of a defense that can shut them down. Slow them down maybe, which we did until the last few minutes of the game. They scored 28 in the first half to 13 in the second against our defense, And most of that was ball control for us. We just missed the opportunity to cash in and then they finished us off. Had we taken the lead with 6 minutes to go. who knows how we could of reacted defensively we may have held them having the momentum back or stephenville could have managed a drive to win it. There is no way to know.
I havent seen the time of possesion stats for the second half but I bet it was in our favor. The difference being the lead they built in the first half and the depth they have to finish off teams

Let's not forget that it took almost a miracle from GR to pull off an upset. Onside kicks, trick plays, a few extra corriculer fowls by Stephenville that kept Glen Rose in the game. Enough "what if's" for an entire season! lol
