Region IV REGIONAL Co-GotW: El Campo(12-0) Vs. Ingleside(9-3)

[Dogs_21]

Start up the talk!!!

[Scoop27]

When and where is the game?

[Bosqueville]

I'm afraid El Campo's lack of competition will not bode well come the semis.

[YTBulldogs]

Don't matter were they play this one. IS, season comes to an end here. And, that is no dis-respect. Great year ya'll have had. But, EC is head and shoulders above all other R4 teams, and maybe the state? All the hoopla about the Ricebirds "O" is nice, but--the "D" lead by #6 is something else. Better put 3 players on #6 and take your chances being out numbered. Kid is a BEAST.

I really see a shut out here, 50-0 Dirty Birds.

[YTBulldogs]

EC will be prepared. Ya'll keep banging yourself up to get there.

[Spanish Camp]

El Campo saw some good competition in predistrict and played in a district with some good talent and teams (Bellville, Sealy, Wharton). LaGrange ws a quality team.

However, I see where you stand. Not really anything EC can do about who they face. Somerset was definitly not up to facing EC's physical running game....not to mention the speed of the game.

[SHSBulldog00]

Hot off the presses

El Campo vs. Ingleside Fri 11/30 - 7:30 pm @ Victoria Memorial

[Spanish Camp]

I will add that everyone should remember that EC may not be your average south Texas playoff team. Keep in mind that EC played (and played extremely well) in a tough 4a district and played every year in the playoffs in the Houston region.

EC is used to lining up against quality opponents with size and speed. Hopefully that bodes well for the Birds.

[SHSBulldog00]

A little more perspective on this matchup

El Campo and Sweeny used to be in the same 4A district and played often during non district. El Campo is big, physical and athletically talented.

Sounds a lot like Sweeny two years ago when we beat Ingleside 27-10 in our bi district game.

Not saying it will be similar but EC and Sweeny from 2010 are cut from the same mold. Ingleside better be ready to stop the run but watch out for the tall TE the Ricebirds have.

[Saggy Aggie]

El campo by at least 30

[Matthew328]

The two teams are flipping today....originally agreed to a neutral site in Victoria..but Ingleside backed out..Ingleside wants Thursday night in Floresville...El Campo will likely now choose a location closer to Houston

[Spanish Camp]

Done deal. Victoria Friday night

[Roughneck93]

Going with EC in this one.

[Matthew328]

El Campo HC Bob Gillis needs to play the lottery today..won 2 flips today so El Campo-Inglside is now set Fri 7:30pm in Victoria

[YTBulldogs]

This one could be played in Ingelside, wouldn't matter.

[99IHSMustang]

All of the responses on here are to be expected. I for one understand the quality of a team Ingleside will face in El Campo. Understandably they are heavily favored and we are not. With that being said, Go MUSTANGS!!!!

Wow not even 7 points huh. I think Ingleside can manage that and then some.

[YTBulldogs]

Nothing against IS, they are just totally out matched here. As, all of R4 teams have been and will be against EC IMO. EC would go deep in 4A playoffs.

[raider red 2000]

I am going with EC in this one. Inglesides toughest teams they had on the schedule were 2a teams. And they beat a good George west team and gr hammered by Refugio. Sinton win isn't bad, but I don't think that the mustangs will be ready. EC by as much as they want. Game over by half time.

And I really do hate picking the rice birds.

Refugio was the toughest team on the schedule during regular season play, but the others were not better than Sinton and OG.

[MustangFootball]

I think Ingleside will be tougher than what they have faced so far, I'm not saying they are gonna win this game but it won't be a cake walk either, last year Ingleside lost to a good Wharton team in the 1st round... A game that Ingleside led the whole way up until the last minute and a half when Ingleside was going into score and put the game out of reach and Wharton intercepted drove down and went for 2pts. Wharton had a very good team that came alive in the playoffs and never quit.....who went 3 rounds deep and gave a good Devine team fits..... Whartons defense was fast, and I'm not sure how this years Wharton team is compared to last years team but I don't see them being much different maybe a better record but mostly the same team, a Wharton team that played El Campo very close.
This game is about match up not who you beat or who beat you. I think Ingleside will surprise a lot of people, I'm not saying we will win but the Mustangs won't go down as easy as some might think.:1popcorn:

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Nothing against IS, they are just totally out matched here. As, all of R4 teams have been and will be against EC IMO. EC would go deep in 4A playoffs.lol! So La Grange way better than Ingleside also? El Campo will face their best challenge in this round from Region 4. El Campo will win but Ingleside will do better job than La Grange did. Only thing i dont like about Ingleside in this matchup is the Mustangs are not big on the lines. Their speed might not help in this matchup on the line.

[Saggy Aggie]

Wharton is better than last year and still couldn't beat EC.

Ingleside minus twins = not as good as last year.

Not trying to be rude, I just call it like I see it. This game shouldn't be close

[Saggy Aggie]

Yes. LaGrange >>> Ingleside.

LG won the hardest district in region 4 and was probably the 2nd best team in the entire region. Too bad they had to play the best team in the region in bidistrict

[raider red 2000]

Refugio was the toughest team on the schedule during regular season play, but the others were not better than Sinton and OG.
OG was a loss. Sinton- lol.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Yes. LaGrange >>> Ingleside.

LG won the hardest district in region 4 and was probably the 2nd best team in the entire region. Too bad they had to play the best team in the region in bidistrictGot beat by Cuero, Cuero beat Ingleside in the last seconds of the game. a Moot point now, just have to wait til this game is played.

[MustangFootball]

Kind of like being the underdogs, I can't say we've been the underdogs in many games, but I'll take it.....we are expected to lose so that's a plus already.

Go Mustangs!!!!!

[Dogs_21]

I just don't see Ingleside playing with El Campo. El Campo will be too big and fast for them and you really can't compare last year stuff to this year, it's a whole new year. Stephenville and Carthage better stop looking down on the Ricebirds also because they will give them both all they can handle in my opinion. Also if you want to bring up last year El Campo should have beat 5A Manvel if it wasn't for a last drive fumble on the goal line then Manvel gave Aledo all they wanted in the Championship game last year. I understand homers going for the Stangs, you have to go for your team. BUT I'm not a homer to either and I say the CAMP by 28!!!!

[99IHSMustang]

OG was a loss. Sinton- lol.

I found your statement comical just as much as you found mine.

BUT I'm not a homer to either and I say the CAMP by 28!!!!28 is reasonable but 50 points to 0 is hilarious and comments by as much as they want? Ingleside has some speed also is the size that is a big advantage for El Campo. Glad its in Victoria i plan on seeing this game.

[99IHSMustang]

Kind of like being the underdogs, I can't say we've been the underdogs in many games, but I'll take it.....we are expected to lose so that's a plus already.

Go Mustangs!!!!!

Everyone that has faced El Campo up to this point has been expected to lose so there really is nothing new. If you ask me there really shouldn't be any pressure on Ingleside. Just go out and do what you have been doing.

That's all I'm saying is Ingleside is expected to lose, so they have nothing to lose and alot to prove.....Ingleside is a good team, how much better is El Campo will be determined on the field.

[99IHSMustang]

not trying to be funny but everyone that has played them has loss....

Neither was I. All it takes is a great team to have a bad game and all of a sudden the underdog keeps it close. Ingleside is going to have to force turnovers and El Campo is going to have to make mistakes for it to be a close game.

[MustangFootball]

Ingleside has held some pretty go running backs in check, yes Ingleside got hammered by Refugio In the first game of the season, and it was Refugio passing game that beat Ingleside, but Ingleside did hold Refugio running back to way below his average, I'm not saying y'alls running back is anywhere near El Campo running back, but never the less he had well under 100 yards maybe under 50 and they fed him the ball all night.

[hollywood]

El Campo wins this one. Best in state in 3a or 4a? Nah

Too much of a one definitional offense.

What does El Campo bring to a game that would challenge Carthage or Stephenville or even Abilene Wylie if and that's a big IF they were to beat Stephenville this week?

IHS did have great run defense that night. I change my vote to ingleside now. Based on EC won't pass the ball. Go Mustangs.

[Football fan]

El Campo will roll over Ingleside.

The lack of competition is mostly in the playoffs. El Campo had a solid district and beat a Foster team that was 2nd in a district with Angleton and Terry.

[Dogs_21]

Not saying they are going to beat either of these teams but they are not your typical R4 team they have always had a good program in R3 4A. I guess you just have to play them to see what I'm talking about. These guys play with the best of them even when they are suppose to lose. Well disciplined program year in year out. All I'm saying is you have to respect them and I bet even others from this area will agree with that. I didn't hear anything from Carthage into they hit 3A to be honest.

[hollywood]

If El Campo can't pass, they won't fare well against a Stephenville or Abilene Wylie type of team at all if they get past Carthage/Silsbee winner.

That is a tough 4A district!

[Saggy Aggie]

Got beat by Cuero, Cuero beat Ingleside in the last seconds of the game. a Moot point now, just have to wait til this game is played.

Meaningless game for LG. they already had their playoff spot sewed up. Cuero on the other hand was fighting for their season.

Don't put much stock in that. LG was a beast this year, just an unfortunate matchup for them in the first round.

[MustangFootball]

IHS did have great run defense that night. I change my vote to ingleside now. Based on EC won't pass the ball. Go Mustangs.

If Ingleside can keep this competitive I will be satisfied, I understand we are the underdogs...Ingleside really wasn't expected to do much after losing so much to graduation last year and the sad thing is we are losing a lot more to graduation this year...Ingleside has ready done more than expected this season so if we lose to a really good El Campo team that will be just fine, but the Mustangs won't lay down for no-one they will fight till the very last play.:twitch:

I really will cheer for the mustangs.


As far as EC not passing, I don't know why they won't. Their qb has a live arm. Just don't work on it.

[speedbump]

Yes. LaGrange >>> Ingleside.

LG won the hardest district in region 4 and was probably the 2nd best team in the entire region. Too bad they had to play the best team in the region in bidistrict

D-25 swept D-26 in the playoffs and Sealy sat home. LG would have been in a dog fight to even make the playoffs in 25.

[speedbump]

I really will cheer for the mustangs.


As far as EC not passing, I don't know why they won't. Their qb has a live arm. Just don't work on it.

If EC started passing 20 times a game they would put up numbers like Refugio. They will pass when they have to and somebody in the semis or finals is going to see a different team than they got ready for.

One of the reasons EC is good year-in and year- out is because they know what they do an do it well. They don't grab bag an offense every week & Gillis is patient in his play calling....something that is lost on 90% of today's coaches

[Saggy Aggie]

D-25 swept D-26 in the playoffs and Sealy sat home. LG would have been in a dog fight to even make the playoffs in 25.

Let me rephrase... They won the 2nd hardest district in reg 4.

They're still better than everyone in reg 4 besides EC.

[garza0]

Wharton is better than last year and still couldn't beat EC.

Ingleside minus twins = not as good as last year.

Not trying to be rude, I just call it like I see it. This game shouldn't be close

Ingleside is better without the twins, its easy to cover 2 wrs, can they cover 4 wrs? Were loaded at the wr position.

[Scoop27]

Division I is very weak compared to Division II

Yea, Gillis definitely has the right formula. I think he knows he may have to throw some when they get out of region 4 and catch a really good run D. I'm sure he'll be ready if it comes to that. But if they can pound it like they did in the second half against Manvel they may never throw.

[speedbump]

Division I is very weak compared to Division II

Yea right. Stephenville, Kilgore, Carthage, Abilene Wiley and EC are pretty weak. LOL

[YTBulldogs]

scoop, your something else. Get over being fired from the EC paper back in the day.

[Scoop27]

I was not fired from the El Campo paper-I was never a salaried employee for the Leader-News-I covered Louise sports the past two years.
I was laid off the Wharton Journal-Spectator in 2009 when the paper was bought out by Hartman Newspapers

[raider red 2000]

If EC started passing 20 times a game they would put up numbers like Refugio. They will pass when they have to and somebody in the semis or finals is going to see a different team than they got ready for.
I don't know about refugio numbers, refugio is in the perfect storm of good coaches, good athletes, and a rotten district.

Gillis does a great job. He does things the right way. I have a lot of respect for the EC program.

[raider red 2000]

scoop, your something else. Get over being fired from the EC paper back in the day.

That was pretty jerky.

This game won't be close-Ricebirds will roll easy

[Manso/V8]

Let me rephrase... They won the 2nd hardest district in reg 4.

They're still better than everyone in reg 4 besides EC.

La Grange got a tough draw for sure, EC is a cut above the rest of R4, but remember La Grange beat Gonzales, Smithville, and Yoakum by one point, and then lost to Cuero 21-13...........and Bellville beat Cuero 34-13 last week.

With all due respect to the Leps, that is not a record that says that were clear cut better than everyone in R4 besides EC.

[Football fan]

Got beat by Cuero, Cuero beat Ingleside in the last seconds of the game. a Moot point now, just have to wait til this game is played.

Somerset beat Cuero 38-17.

Cuero beat Ingleside 21-14.

El Campo beat Somerset 51-14.

Can El Campo pass? Effectively?

Certainly a question mark. Potential is there, but they haven't really had to.

They have only had 2 single digit wins and they didn't need to pass to win either of those.

I assume we will find out when they play Carthage.

You take rankings pretty seriously huh? I guess that is why the game is not played on paper. There have been already some upsets during the playoffs. I guess for some it is unimaginable that they could lose in the 3rd round to an underdog. Boy, if Ingleside wins I can't wait to hear the excuses.

These polls are just anybody best guess, mostly picked on records at the time....many people had Giddings, Gonzales and Devine up there and Giddings and Gonzales didn't even make the playoffs, and Devine shouldn't have after getting hammered 49-0 in the first round by OG. It's all about match ups bottom line.

[Dogs_21]

I can't wait to Friday it's a lot of great games this weekend!

[hookandladder]

El Campo by 3 or 4 Td's , that may be closer then what the final score will be.

Thanks. Yes, Carthage will be a challenge for sure. Well balanced offense and a stout defense that's strong against the run. They have a huge DL.. not sure of his name, but he is scary good.

[Football fan]

Isaiah Golden

Isaiah Golden

Yes, him. Unbelievable!

[db1980]

Yes, him. Unbelievable!

Golden isnt the only one you have to worry about on their DL either. Their LB crew is pretty awesome too. They have a soph DB that has around 10 int's as well.

[MUSTANG69]

The two teams are flipping today....originally agreed to a neutral site in Victoria..but Ingleside backed out..Ingleside wants Thursday night in Floresville...El Campo will likely now choose a location closer to Houston

Coach Hesseltine may have wanted Thursday because of grades. Not sure when they come out but I keep hearing one of our linebackers will not make the cut on grades for this game.

Not trying to be rude, I just call it like I see it. This game shouldn't be close

Don't discount Ingleside's passing game. The passing game was inconsistent at the beginning of the year because of inexperienced receivers. It has improved each week. The Mustangs also have some very speedy receivers who can take it to the house. The Mustangs may have more speed than El Campo has seen all year.

I am not saying Ingleside is going to win because of this but they may score more points than some posters think. They will have to play a near perfect game or El Campo will have to have a disastrous night for the Mustangs to win.

[Manso/V8]

They don't realize Mustangs have some speed.

The Mustangs may have speed, but I doubt they have more speed than EC has seen all year.
EC played a decent 4a schedule pre-district, and then played Bellville, Wharton, and Sealy in district.

So, tell us about the Mustangs' speed, maybe it is better than what EC has seen.

Their may be some other Ingleside posters that can give more accurate information and there take, but the speed burners on the offensive side of the ball have IMO to be the RB Marquis, WR Skylar Sugart, WR Jordin Stone, WR Terrance Robninson, WR Justin Britt. The QB Barajas can sling the ball with great accuracy and any one of these guys can take it to the house. The RB Marquis is truly fun to watch. He can take a lick and spin off and continue to run for huge yards. I wish he were about 6"1 and weighed around 200 because he would be D1 material for sure, but he is getting some D3 looks.

So, tell us about the Mustangs' speed, maybe it is better than what EC has seen.

RB Marquise Barolle (5'3" 150 lbs) has great accelleration and is a very sure-handed receiver. He is very fun to watch because he is one of those kids that can spin, roll and jump his way out of tackles. Terrance Robinson is always a long ball threat. He is a tall kid and has great speed down field. Skyler Shugart and Jordan Stone are very quick and get a lot of the short and medium range passes. If any of these 4 get past the defense you probably will not catch up to them until they get to the end zone.

This is not a brag. I'm just trying to answer your question. I think some teams have underestimated the Mustangs' speed this year and have paid the price. I am sure the El Campo coaching staff is very aware of this and will not make that mistake.

[YTBulldogs]

Lord, hate to see EC's big, very quick DE (6'7") kid #6 get a hold of that 5'3" RB. :vrycnfsd: He might run through his legs.:eek:

Ingleside has had a nice run but its comes to a screeching halt this week.

Concur, and IS has nothing to hang their heads about. Great season. EC is just powerful in 3A. Depth, size, speed, line play, LB'ers, secondary, awesome running attack, and I'm sure they can chunk it too, if forced in that situation later in the playoff's. I could go on and on about the Birds.

[SintonFan]

Really? No chance???
At all????
Might as well call the game now to save the embarrassment. :tisk:

And

Go Mustangs!!!! Beat the he!! out of them!!!! :)
that felt good

[Dogs_21]

Don't discount Ingleside's passing game. The passing game was inconsistent at the beginning of the year because of inexperienced receivers. It has improved each week. The Mustangs also have some very speedy receivers who can take it to the house. The Mustangs may have more speed than El Campo has seen all year.

I am not saying Ingleside is going to win because of this but they may score more points than some posters think. They will have to play a near perfect game or El Campo will have to have a disastrous night for the Mustangs to win.

Not so FAST my friend! I can't agree with you on this statement.

[MustangFootball]

Has El Campo faced many spread teams this year? I seen their schedule but I'm not to familiar with the styles they faced the teams I know they faced we're primarily running teams but not sure who the passing teams were? I know some teams did well throwing the ball? But not sure they were true spread teams, Ingleside is a spread team but they do run the ball well , just depending what's working that night. Under coach Hesseltine they have been pretty balanced over the years,Can wait for this game.:1popcorn:

GO MUSTANGS!!!!!:nerd:

[Football fan]

El Campo can be passed on if your line can give your QB time. Hasn't happened often.

[MustangFootball]

Inglesides line is a bit under sized but have done fairly well this year, Ingleside will need to play there best game friday night.

[Spanish Camp]

I have seen it mentioned that Ingleside spreads people out. Are they a team that spreads you out to throw it or a team that spreads you out to run it?

Can their QB get it done in the passing game?

Any dominant receivers or big play guys?

Any speed?

[hookandladder]

El Campo can be passed on if your line can give your QB time. Hasn't happened often.

Yes El Campo can be passed on however you have to have an OL to handle their DL, that is not going to happen in this game. El Campo by a lot, EC plays at a differnet level then Ingleside.

[pancho villa]

The Ricebirds will steal the Mustangs women and eat their first born children. They might be better off not showing up!

[Dowork]

El campo by as many points as they want to put on the board.one of the most physical if not the most physical 3 a teams in the state. They go through the motions sometimes but turn it on when the need to cause they are more dominant than anyone they play.

[YTBulldogs]

:iagree:

[99IHSMustang]

They have played on a different level than every team they have faced in the playoffs including La Grange. I can say the same thing about Ingleside. They crushed Carrizo Springs and dominated Kingsville, but make no mistake I agree that EC is on a different level as well.

[pancho villa]

They have played on a defferent level than every team they have faced in the playoffs including La Grange. I can say the same thing about Ingleside. They crushed Carrizo Springs and dominated Kingsville, but make no mistake I agree that EC is on a different level as well.

LaGrange really played with EC if you seen that game. Booboo's gave EC 21 of 28 quick points in the 1st quarter, and after that, LG out played them. But, that's football. LG would beat IS by 4 or 5 TD's IMO. That week 10 Smithville win over Gonzales killed a LG team going to state IMO.

Agreed.

If Bellville wouldnt have been battling injuries to key starters, the game may have been closer. That said, EC still controlled the clock the entire game. Too much size for Bellville to deal with and EC would have still won.

[MUSTANG69]

Does anyone know who is home and who is visitor?

[bird_fan]

El Campo will use thier running game to keep ingleside speed on offense off the field. Against Somerset EC scored on a lot of long runs if inglesinde also has speed om defence them expect long time consuming drives to be EC goal. Wear them down use thier deoth dont let Inglesides offense get going and get utracked and the Ricebirds win. Bob Gillis is know for getting thee most fronm the talent he has

[Bull's-eye]

EC by 3 or more TD'S!

Actually, LG's 1st quarter and EC's 3rd quarter were very similar.

Both had two turnovers. LG had a stupid 4th down fake punt call in which they turned it over on downs and EC failed to recover a LG onside kick.

Difference was, EC was able to capitalize on all LG's mistakes whereas LG didn't do so on all EC's.

4th quarter was a wash with EC just trying to run clock.

EC only threw 4 passes the whole game.

It is a team effort and if those that failed didn't make the grades because they didn't try hard enough, then that is on them.

[YTBulldogs]

Don't matter were they play this one. IS, season comes to an end here. And, that is no dis-respect. Great year ya'll have had. But, EC is head and shoulders above all other R4 teams, and maybe the state? All the hoopla about the Ricebirds "O" is nice, but--the "D" lead by #6 is something else. Better put 3 players on #6 and take your chances being out numbered. Kid is a BEAST.

I really see a shut out here, 50-0 Dirty Birds.

Lord, if IS lost 5 starters due to grades for this Friday nights big game, I find it hard to believe. I would think the coach would have made sure these kid's had their academic's in order. Do they not get a weekly grade sheet/teacher report on the athletes? If failing, skip workouts and get caught up. Amazing.:doh:

How many of these starters are seniors? If any, something for sure is wrong.

These students knew that thy were in jeopardy but still did not make the effort. They have let down the team but mostly they have let themselves down. I have personnally seen the way the parents of one these players acts at the games. It doesn't surprise me at all that he has no self esteem.

Down right shame. I'll put some of the blame on the coach. Especially if 5 starters are out. One I can see, but five? Any of these seniors?

All I will say is this, a coach or teacher cannot force a student to pass or get a tutor if necessary. If a student doesn't care then he/she doesn't care. Responsibility of a student passing is first and foremost the students then followed by the parents.

The coaches did everything they could have done in this situation. They did grade checks, they emailed teachers, they conducted team tutorials after practice, they had coaches divide into subject areas to help the kids, etc. What it came down to was two teachers. One was a math teacher who claimed three of them and just plain and simple refused to help out. He has been in the district forever who is a retire/rehire and has lost interest in the kids. He is only there to collect a check. The other Social Studies teacher has a personal vendetta against the coach and the kid that he failed. It stems back to a situation from last year where some of the former coaches who were from the community were reassigned. The two teachers in question told other faculty memebers that they would make sure not to help out the football team this year since they had a difference of opinion with the head coach. It is a real shame because it is only hurting the kids- those playing and those not playing. It is a bad situation especially at this point in the game when everyone from the community should be behind this team. It is almost unheard of and at most places that are rich in tradition that Ingleside is becoming- these teachers would be let go. The kids in question went to these teachers every day for the last two to three weeks of the six weeks asking to do anything they could to get their grade up and coaches went to the teachers as well only to get a cold shoulder.

I agree here too, but--today, coaches must babysit. Yes, it's a pain in the butt and very time consuming. Got that first hand today from our AD. And, according to the reports I hear, the coach did try, and did have weekly grade checks in place. But, had a turd of a couple teachers with personal issues against him. Hopefully, the ISD will rid that cancer from the school, or place them in a elementary school? Damn shame for the IS team. Sounds like someone was going to make sure someone failed here regardless, just cause he/she had a personal issue.

Good luck IS, so sorry you have to endure this garbage.

I think calling a couple of teachers turds based on what one poster said is totally wrong. I have known one of those teachers all my life. He is a graduate of IHS and went to Texas A&I on a football scholarship so he is not anti-football. He has been at ISD for over 35 years. I would be totally blown away if it was proven that he failed a student because he didn't like a coach or the student. That poster also stated that he was a retire/rehire. I believe that to be false. I bring this up to point out that the post may not be completely factual and based more on rumor. Believe me, there are plenty of rumors going around about this in Ingleside right now. Please don't make judgements based on what is posted on here. We will not even know who actually failed until the game Friday. Those players that are sitting in the stands are the ones that actually failed.

I do know this. The young men that are suited up will play 100%. If Ingleside gets beat by 50 pts or 5 pts or pulls off the miracle upset you can bet they gave it their all.

[SintonFan]

Sad to say but the only ones here to blame are the kids themselves if we are going to point fingers, I applaud the coaching staff by not putting the game above the education of the kids and stand by no pass no play no matter who it is, you are only teaching these young men proper morals in life due to the consequences of their actions. Ingleside was probably the smallest school in D1 region 4 and have done a great job so far. These kids believe in this team even if it minus a few big stars they will definetly step up and play with full hearts.:thumbsup:

I would be the first to blame the kids in this situation, but knowing what I know it is hard to do that. I believe we have all been in a situation where there was a certain teacher who you just didn't understand or who had no mercy on anyone. These kids and coaches made an effort and did all they could to get their grade up. The math class was a math models class with Juniors in it. That should tell you right there that these kids are the slower ones who need the extra help. With no child left behind and teacher accountability the way it is these days, the teachers should understand that they are responsible for what their kids learn and the state assessment at the end of the year will show what they have taught- so how could you even allow a kid to be lazy in this current time. I'm just saying that there was an all out effort made not so that the teacher would give them a grade- so that they would give them an oppurtunity to really learn the material and the teachers chose to teach the kids a life lesson rather than teach them what they should be teaching them- curriculum.

What a load!!! If other kids can pass those courses, so can the football players. You sound like the child crying to his parent that " the teacher doesn't like me". There is NOBODY to blame, but the student. These posts make you seem like a COACH who's upset he doesn't have all his players teachers worshipping at the altar of football. If you are a coach, I'm very sorry you are having to play your game without many of his best players, especially seniors. As a fan, there is nothing worse than knowing your team isn't at full strength due to injury or grades. The what-ifs will forever play in your head. Having said that...quit putting the blame on the teachers and know, that sometimes, no matter what you do as a Coach, not every player can or wants to be reached. they are kids and they think they are invincible. They ultimately make their own choices, whether good or bad. Good luck with your game. You never know what star might be standing on the sidelines, just waiting for his chance to shine!

Never know man, Taylor took us to double OT last year and easily could have won. They were 3-7 and no one gave them a chance, including me. It was more a battle than a game in the end.

Ingleside coaches will need these kids prepared menally for this game, no turnovers and play disciplined football. Play the basic scheme that got them here. Good luck Mustangs!

It's not an impossibility.

But the poll asked "Who will win?" Not "Who do you think has a chance to win?" or "Who do you want to win?".

Would anyone bet on Ingleside to win the game?

Maybe I just misunderstood the poll.

[pancho villa]

I voted for Ingleside cause the women there like to drink beer and dip snuff.

[MustangFootball]

It's Game Day WoooHooo!!!!:cheerl:
Let's go MUSTANGS shock the world!!!!

You shouldn't take it so serious. This forum is for loud mouth fans who really support their teams. It is supposed to be FUN. That being said, good luck to both teams and everyone be safe in your travels today.

[SintonFan]

:rolleyes::blahblah:LOL

I am backing you guys...

[44INAROW]

I want to know who the 7 people are who think Ingleside will win.

Even if you are a homer and think they have a chance, surely you can't think that it is probable.

Seriously........... :tisk:

I've been a Ricebird supporter for 10+ years - (since coach Woods moved there) and I hope they win but anything can happen... These polls are historically "homer" polls for the most part anyway..

I'll bet a dollar that they'll win, better odds than winning in the lotto? mark it down 8 votes now :)

I don't disagree with any of that.

[MustangFootball]

In this day of "No child left behind" kids that fail choose to fail.!!!!

Well I can't say I agree with you much, but this time I can't disagree.

[MustangFootball]

Down right shame. I'll put some of the blame on the coach. Especially if 5 starters are out. One I can see, but five? Any of these seniors?
Out of every name I heard none were seniors.

[YTBulldogs]

Out of every name I heard none were seniors.

Hope they learn the importance to stay up with those grades? Good luck tonight.

lol At the "Red Zone". I have to admit it is cool when they say that.

[99IHSMustang]

Ingleside fought hard

[spirate_9]

Ingleside has some pretty good athletes. I think they rely too much on the deep ball. They couldn't establish anything between the tackles.
They did play hard.

[YTBulldogs]

Nothing to be shame of IS. Great year, congrats.

Final from Izz: 31-20 EC


Great season 'Stangs.

Ricebirds, go out and bring a state title back to R4.

[big daddy russ]

Sounded like Ingleside had some problems in the red zone. Was anyone there that can elaborate?

I agree. Go Ricebirds!
Sorry about the loss Mustangs. For a team that had no chance... I'm sure the other team had to play "lights out" to beat ya. :clap:

Ingleside played a hell of a game. Better athletes than I thought they might be. They are a good team. Certainly exploited El Campo's weaknesses.

Referees were awful.

[defense51]

Congrats El Campo on the win, and Ingleside for a great season.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Great season, Ingleside, gj representing district 30 against unbeaten El Campo team.

Look forward to next season battling in district play again.

[pirate4state]

Ingleside did a lot better than I thought they would. Inability to successfully run at EC was huge. Felt they should have gotten the ball to #5 more in the form of swing and/or screen passes. He had success on the outside. EC was big & fast. Ingleside did well a few drives with contain, but ultimately EC's size and depth wore them down. EC had 2 TDs called back on holding calls (and yes, yall were holding! ;) )

Overall, better game than I expected. Good job to all.

Just got back from Victoria and I must say the Mustangs gave it all they had. 4 trips to the redzone and no points to show really hurts when you are playing a great team such as EC. I hope Ingleside really looks at developing a FG kicker because he sure would have been handy. Great defensive stands by EC. Your #30 RB was a stud and ran very well. They are a great team and I am glad I traveled down to Victoria to watch what was supposed to be a slaughter that turned out to be an exciting game. Great season Mustangs! Looking forward to seeing what is in store for next year.

[MustangFootball]

Congrats to El Campo on the win, you guys truely are a great team, I'll be cheering you guys on the rest of the season. Good luck next week, represent region 4 well!!! Go Ricebirds

and Congrats to the Ingleside Mustangs, you guys played one hell of a game. You guys really made us fans proud, saw some really good young talent rise up in this game and fill in, in the absences of a few....really excited about #4, the kids just a sophomore and plays like a 3 years starter.

[bird_fan]

My hats off to ingleside But i wasnt saying it wouldnt be close I xpected a game and Ingeside didnt disappoint Ingleside is oneof the best spread team ive seen in 3A and a scrappy bunch they are.

[Epicpirates]

Congratulations to Ingleside on a very good season. You represented our district well.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

My hats off to ingleside But i wasnt saying it wouldnt be close I xpected a game and Ingeside didnt disappoint Ingleside is oneof the best spread team ive seen in 3A and a scrappy bunch they are.Ingleside has been a dangerous spread team since their head coach took over in Ingleside. Every year he has been able to fill the skill position offensively to put out a good product every season. I'm a bit suprise a local 4a school hasn't snatched him up yet.

there have been rumors for years that GP has been trying to get him.

[big daddy russ]

Word on the street is that he's well-compensated.

Also, Ingleside's always had a strong track program. I don't know if it's still the same way, but we used to have a good bit of the region's speedsters year-in, year-out. If that pool's still there to pull from, it's certainly a good place to get athletes for a spread offense.

Of course, that's just speculation on my part.

[MustangFootball]

As an Ingleside fan I hope we never lose Coach Hesseltine, he is the perfect fit for Ingleside.....Ingleside doesn't produce really big guys, but seem to have athletes at the skill positions, Ingleside is never gonna line up and run it down your throat, they are built to spread you out and get the ball in open space to their play-makers and make things happen with speed and athleticism. Ingleside always seems to find a good running back as well......it's sad to say but that was probably the last time I will ever see Marquis Barrolle play, and I'm sure I speak for many around town when I say he was very fun to watch, very exciting, you always left a game with a play of his in your head that was so fun to watch and it just made your night. He along with all the other seniors will be missed.
