LOL! You took that the wrong way. If all of us get together anytime there is a party whether we got anyone playing or not. Last time I sat with lostaussie was at Brownwood/Carthage in 2010. We had a blast. Garcia, G2, Terry, Kep, Injured, Beast, Hollywood and tons of other posters. It was a party without drinks.

[lostaussie]

Actually, this Grahamite went and watched all of the Saturday games last year. Good times!without a doubt...........large time. And I tried not to profile:D He just set me off.........knows nothing about me. Hell I have seen Shamrock play..........pretty sure not many from Gilmer can say that:D

[bearbear78]

I know you guys are the greatest team to run with the football ever

Lets hope their fast as lightning! Ever seen what a bullet does when it hits a steel wall? It makes a sudden stop and gets flat! They may have a bullet but the steers are like buck shot!! EVERYWHERE

How do you gilmer fans see gilmers D holding up against the steers offense they have really figured the spread out and have been moving the ball very well.

Don't u know? They are fast. Whole team has speed. And when I say speed, I mean speed. East Texas speed at that! U haven't seen speed until you have seen east tx speed. West tx speed cant hold a candle to east tx speed. Do you know what I am saying? I almost feel like I have speed after talking about all that speed! LMAO

I have heard they had some speed.....

[poisoned10]

In my opinion, Gilmer is more battle tested than Graham has been. If you look at each team's schedule, Graham's opponents, not including Gilmer, are a combined 88-73. Gilmer's opponents however are 99-69.

Pre-District: Graham had 6 games with all but 1 being a playoff team. Only 1, however, made it past the 1st round (Abilene Wylie). Gilmer had 4 games with all 4 being playoff teams, one in 4A and one in 2A. 3 of those teams made it to at least the 2nd round with Daingerfield (2A) still playing in the 5th round.
Advantage: Gilmer

District: Graham plays in a 5 team district and only 2 of those teams finished with winning records. Burkburnett was a playoff team and finished (2-9). Gilmer plays in a 7 team district in which all 3 playoff teams made it to at least the 4th round, the only district that can claim that. Bullard (7-3) and defending Div. I state champions Chapel Hill failed to make the playoffs in the same district.
Advantage: Gilmer

Playoffs: Both teams face off against good competition when it comes playoff time. Graham has played teams with better overall records, but I would bet teams like Argyle and Henderson would have a pretty good chance of winning that region as well, both are teams that finished a combined 0-3 vs. Gilmer this year.
Advantage: Slightly Gilmer

I expect a close, hard fought game Friday in Mansfield. I wouldn't expect more than a 14 point win for either team, whoever that may be.

[Rattler]

Here is what happens when speed meets a defensive wall.

http://youtu.be/--_RGM4Abv8

[poisoned10]

Gilmer's defense has held some good offenses well below their season averages this year.

Atlanta has 2 D-I running backs on their team and I'm willing to bet they had a total of 200 yards rushing combined over both games we played against them.

Argyle has a very good offense and have put up some big offensive numbers. Our defense held them to 21 points (7 after a turnover giving them about 25 yards to score and 7 in mop up duty), under 100 yards passing, and held their leading rusher to under 40 yards.

Against Henderson, our defense allowed quite a few yards in the 1st half (about 240), but shut them down to about 75 total yards in the 2nd half.

Against Kilgore, we held them to their lowest point total of the season at 14 (Henderson also held them to 14 the week before) and about 295 yards of offense (195 rushing, 100 passing).

I'll try to compile Gilmer's game-by-game stats and post them and you can see how good, or bad, Gilmer's defense has played this year.

http://youtu.be/--_RGM4Abv8

Graham's defense is hardly close to anything resembling a nuclear plant's wall.

[Themishman]

Honestly speed is important but execution is the key. Graham can execute and we are so playing great ball right now. Gilmer, not taking anything away from them, have been lucky on 2 playoff wins by teams not executing and finishing games. The Steers finish the game with great execution, smart handling of the ball, and aggressive defense. This may have a basketball score at the end of the game, not hinting Gilmer, but I feel the red, white, and blue well be playing at "Jerry World" next weekend!!!!!!!!!!

[adoptedbuckeye]

I have only been following Gilmer closely for a couple of years now, married into the family, and now I can't get enough haha! But honestly at the beginning of the season I didn't think they would make it out of the district intact. Those boys impressed me with their growth throughout the season and their ability to execute and stay disciplined. Yes, they have speed but that is only one facet; they know how to run the offense and buy into the system. Nobody on the field tries to be a one man team. They keep their heads where others would fall apart. They have been outweighed all year but I promise they deliver just as hard of hits as anyone out on the field. I look forward to an exciting game Friday night!

[ImaNut]

You guys from Graham just don't have a clue what's about to happen. You guys are just another name on our black flag! Bucks win big!

Grahams starting D has gave up 7 points the entire playoffs in the second half.. I though that was a pretty impressive stat line.

What two games are you hinting at? Gilmer beat Canton 51-36, Atlanta 57-13, Argyle 42-21. You could make that assumption in the Henderson game, beating them by 7 points, but their entire offense was based on two people and that will only take you so far. The way I see it, Gilmer beat all those teams by two or more touchdowns, and that is not luck.

[bearbear78]

Graham's defense is hardly close to anything resembling a nuclear plant's wall.and Gilmers speed is no where near the speed of sound as you guys seem to think, but keep talking speed, we have upset every team who speaks of their lighting fast explosive offense, better put wings on those boys, that's the only way out of the stampede!

[toddg]

You guys from Graham just don't have a clue what's about to happen. You guys are just another name on our black flag! Bucks win big!

Go through and read who started the speed talk in this thread. You will find that it is from those who aren't from Gilmer. We just happened to agree with them.

And we have seen Reg. I teams shouting about how they will smash Gilmer with their "bone-shattering" hitting and have only had 1 close game against those teams. If you expect Gilmer to be on the same level as those "lightning fast, explosive" teams that you have played so far, you will be sadly mistaken. I promise, you have not seen a team with as many playmakers as Gilmer has this year. Take a look at our stats on Max Preps and you will see just how spread out our stats are over several players.

[poisoned10]

you are a nut!:crazy1:


I agree.

[adoptedbuckeye]

Also, teams seem to take for granted that because Gilmer is, generally, smaller and faster that they will not hit hard or take a hit. Watch ANY game from this year, especially the Kilgore and Argyle games, and watch our boys take it to them.

[regaleagle]

I'm not certain there is any other place one can really grasp the concept of high school playoff football in its purest form than right here in this 3ADL forum. The size of the schools from the small towns across the Texas landscape that eat, sleep, and breathe football fanaticism for their native sons are the very definition of this sport in its absolute purest and rawest form. NOT at the 4A level, or even the 5A level, does one encounter this same sense of pride and enthusiasm that these size schools and their fanbases portray in support of their respective teams. It seems that the entire town and county, if not district and area, goes AWOL come Friday nite to support their boyz in these playoffs. These final battles on the gridiron of glory between regional champions from across this football-crazed state are about to meet for an opportunity to prove themselves worthy once again to stand on the hallowed ground of State Championship football. These teams are the survivors of a season filled with great plays, hard hits, total all-out commitment to win, and great resolve to persevere even when everything looked like the game(and season) may be lost. This is what Friday Nite Lights is all about. Every player that steps onto the field this week is a champion, regardless of the outcome of this game. As fans of this great sporting spectacle we have here in Texas, let's not forget what we have in front of us....the greatest, most pure form of football to experience on this planet. The quality of play may be to a higher degree at the 5A level, but to witness the game in it's purest form.....I'll take the 3A level every time. Good luck to both schools this Friday, and enjoy the journey. This trip is very special.

Well Graham won't be the biggest team Gilmer has played this year for sure!! But we have been known to dish out a hit or two!!! Graham knows what Gilmer is capable of, Gilmer... Well, they may be underestimating Graham's ability, which is a good thing!!!

:iagree: I hate waiting on Friday's to get here!

[Rattler]

Here is an Article from the TRN.

GRAHAM — With a second trip to the 3A Division II state title game in the past four years on the line Friday, Graham is squarely focused on its semifinal opponent Gilmer.

However this season ends for the 13-1 Steers, the long-term outlook is also very bright thanks to the production of several underclassmen.

The 2009 Graham state finalists were a senior-heavy squad that depended on only a few juniors and one sophomore.

Not so with the 2012 Steers, who will be returning their top three skill position players and have utilized seven sophomores.

"There's an old adage that for every sophomore you have on varsity, that's a loss. I've heard that said at a lot of places," Graham coach Kenny Davidson said. "I think we did better than seven losses." Davidson said he isn't worried about what grade a player is in, only whether they can makes the plays needed to be successful. And he pointed out that 14 games into the season, there isn't such a thing as a young player anymore.

But it's still impressive — and scary for the rest of 5-3A — that quarterback Ben Davis (3,124 yards, 26 TDs), tailback Dillon Gonzales (1,865 total yards, 28 TDs) and receiver Bryce Reeves (67-995-9) will all be back in 2013.

"I didn't play a lot, but last year helped a little bit. I saw Errik Ortiz run and I just got better and learned a lot," Gonzales said. "We're one game away from Cowboys Stadium and that's been our goal since last November."

Although they'll miss leaders Jerrod Mahan and Hunter Walls, the Steers' defense will have seven returning starters next season, including leading tackler Spur Hearne (124 tackles) and nose guard Husky Melendez (80 tackles).

"I know that next year we'll be good for sure, which is nice to know. But I'm right now just looking forward to this year," Reeves said. "I think our team is more close together and bonded. Last year we had a lot of fighting going on."

Currently, Graham is starting four sophomores — offensive lineman Kenny Dixon, defensive end Dustin McWhorter, cornerback Landon Gonzales and outside linebacker Mike Freeze. Backups Hagan Hughes at tailback and Colton Langley at linebacker have also contributed.

"All those kids showed up this year and they've played some of the biggest roles on the team," said senior Hunter Jones, who along with Reeves are the team's only two-way starters. "They say senior leadership is what you need. We have the senior leadership and we also have the underclassmen that give it their all every game."

n n n

Much has been written about the Graham defense's penchant for turning turnovers into touchdowns — mostly returning interceptions for scores.

When Jones jumped a rout and picked off Gatesville quarterback Cole Edmiston in the first half, he had 54 yards of open turf in front of him. But Edmiston ran him down after 32 yards, denying Jones Graham's 10th defensive score of 2012.

"I got that pick and I was running down the sidelines and I saw him there and was like, 'Dadgum it,'" Jones said. "He's a stud. They told me I should have hurdled him or gone around him, and I was like, 'That's crazy.'"

n n n

The last Graham team that played this deep into the season had a prominent coaching father and son behind it.

While the McCoys have moved on, senior wideout Braden Lang is enjoying this playoff ride with his father, assistant coach Brad Lang.

"Being with my dad, having him as a coach and going through a state run, it's just been a really fun year," said Lang, who has 23 catches for 308 yards.

Assistant coach Robert Sides has had a sophomore son on varsity both three years ago and now. Derek Sides is a backup quarterback and receiver, while his older brother Brian was the only sophomore who played in 2009.

n n n

Usually Fox Sports Southwest sideline reporter and postgame show host Emily Jones can be found near the Rangers dugout or in front of the camera after the Mavericks play.

But Jones was in Stephenville last week watching the Steers' exciting 40-35 victory over Gatesville.

The reason? She is the aunt of Graham linebacker Hunter Hughes and his younger brother Hagen, who is a tailback.

n n n

In the past decade, an area 3A program has won the region four times. The first three went 1-2 in the state semifinals.

In 2009, Graham defeated Pittsburg 27-20. Vernon lost to Atlanta in 2003 (32-14) and to Celina in 2006 (30-13).

[adoptedbuckeye]

Yes Henderson and Argyle. You east Texas folks talk lots of crap... Your football there is not any different from any other football in Texas. Texas high school football is awesome in TEXAS! One region from another doesn't make a difference. So keep talking your smack because the smack down is coming to you guys friday night!!!!!!

Yes, Argyle was supposed to beat Gilmer, but they had no discipline when it got tough. Yes, they were a very good team, but they didn't know what to do against a team that actually put up a fight. They came into that game "knowing" they had the game in the bag before the bus was even unloaded. Maybe if they had been better coached to not be so cocky, they would not have fallen apart. It was not luck that beat Argyle by 21 points, it was being outplayed and outcoached. Our guys look past nobody, focus on the task at hand, and play their game. Any team that makes it to this level is talented, so I absolutely believe Graham is a very good team. At the same time, I promise we are more than just lucky to have made it here.

[MajorApplehorn]

Incorrect on almost every point. Argyle was not outcoached. The coaching staff at Argyle is one of the best in the state. The offense struggled and the defense missed their best player, who would have stopped the up the middle scores by Tanner Barr, and, at the very least, slowed the edge runs. Trust me, Wilson is a legit 10.1 hundred guy who would not have been outrun by either running back and especially the qb. You might want to check your facts before posting next time. This same Argyle staff beat Gilmer in the previous 2 years something like 41-14 and 51-35.

All that being said, Gilmer will beat Graham by at least 3 tds this week. Then they will lose by at least 2 tds to Navasota. Navasota would beat Stephenville.

Wrong!!! Graham will not lose! Hide and watch. We would beat Argyle as well if they were still lucky enough to be around.

[Rattler]

Graham will win this by 10+ points. Watch and learn....Graham will make believers out of yall someday....

[MajorApplehorn]

Wrong!!! Graham will not lose! Hide and watch. We would beat Argyle as well if they were still lucky enough to be around.

Fraid not, buddy. Graham, and all of Region I for that matter, is well below Gilmer, Argyle, and Henderson. You could probably beat Celina these days though...

[adoptedbuckeye]

I didn't mean anything against the Argyle coaches, just that they let their players have this cocky attitude. When they get knocked off their high horse they had no idea how to react and imploded. Their guys were so hotheaded they couldn't be kept under control, and because of the two previous years' scores, they thought they just deserved to roll on by Gilmer. I am sorry to hear they didn't have their best defensive player; I don't wish for anyone in high school to be cut short for injury. Aside from that, Gilmer's defense held Argyle to 21 points which is a pretty good feat in my opinion.

[MajorApplehorn]

Maybe, but not this week.

[Ragin Red]

Incorrect on almost every point. Argyle was not outcoached. The coaching staff at Argyle is one of the best in the state. The offense struggled and the defense missed their best player, who would have stopped the up the middle scores by Tanner Barr, and, at the very least, slowed the edge runs. Trust me, Wilson is a legit 10.1 hundred guy who would not have been outrun by either running back and especially the qb. You might want to check your facts before posting next time. This same Argyle staff beat Gilmer in the previous 2 years something like 41-14 and 51-35.

All that being said, Gilmer will beat Graham by at least 3 tds this week. Then they will lose by at least 2 tds to Navasota. Navasota would beat Stephenville.
:blahblah: another doubter get in line and we shall see. Graham boys are gonna show up and yall might be amazed at how slow they are.........

[pirate4state]

Well Graham won't be the biggest team Gilmer has played this year for sure!! But we have been known to dish out a hit or two!!! Graham knows what Gilmer is capable of, Gilmer... Well, they may be underestimating Graham's ability, which is a good thing!!!


Expect to win, Play to win!!! Go Graham Steers
Go # 5

what? the only people that matter, coaches & players of each team know exactly what the other is capable of and are preparing accordingly. the fans are just that, fans. they will continue to boast and make outlandish predictions. mine is Gilmer 35 Graham 13, but it will be close at half-time. Hell, Gilmer may be losing at half time, but they will find a way to win and if they don't --- I'll come back and congratulate the Steers on being the only other team to hand them a loss this year! :wave:

[lostaussie]

You guys are trying to convince yourselves you can win. You only have a couple posters who actually believe you can. The rest are just trying to talk themselves into it:D

:blahblah: another doubter get in line and we shall see. Graham boys are gonna show up and yall might be amazed at how slow they are.........

Dude, we can do this all day. The bottom line is, come Friday night, you will go home saying, "Well, crap."

You played in, quite possibly, the worst district in the state, which include 3 8-loss teams. Plus you played Bridgeport, who, while they made the playoffs, were terrible (no offense, Bulls). You lost to Wylie 31-7. Argyle lost 31-14 in the 1st game of the season, with a qb with 0 experience, before changing their entire defensive scheme.

I realize all this is apples to oranges. I am just letting you know that you are going to get a heavy dose of reality on Friday night. Region II is better than Region I. Just let that be known. Right now Gilmer is the best Region II has. Graham can do nothing to stop them, unless Gilmer loses both RBs, their QB, and the NG #13. Then, Graham may have a shot.

Like I said, it is really a moot point anyway, because, even if you somehow win, Navasota will shut you out the next week. They will beat Gilmer by at least 2 tds and Gilmer is 3 tds better than you. Book it!

[Deuce]

Yeah, we heard all this BS in '09 the week we played Pittsburgh and look what happened. If region 2 is that much better, how did Stephenville beat Kilgore?

[waterboy]

With all due respect to the other teams in Region 1, Stephenville is on a whole 'nother level than any other team in Region 1. Kilgore had some turnovers, and gave the high-octane offense of Stephenville a short field for a couple of their scores. If not for that it might have been different. Stephenville was the better team and won it fair and square against Kilgore. By the way, we beat Kilgore, too.

[MajorApplehorn]

Yeah, we heard all this BS in '09 the week we played Pittsburgh and look what happened. If region 2 is that much better, how did Stephenville beat Kilgore?

Stephenville is an exception and you know it. Graham is not. Pittsburgh is NO Gilmer.

[ImaNut]

Yeah, we heard all this BS in '09 the week we played Pittsburgh and look what happened. If region 2 is that much better, how did Stephenville beat Kilgore?

Trust me you will see Friday the DOD will represent! If Bullard was in your region we would be playing them tonight not Graham.

[MajorApplehorn]

[Buckeye1980]

Ok, my turn

Hey Graham posters-----you think you are gonna win, we got that. We would not expect anything less. Probably think you will never lose, would not expect anything less from.
Gilmer posters (me included) We think we are gonna win, always do, we do not expect anything less.
Furthermore Graham posters , have you seen the speeed of Gilmer this year? probably not. Have we seen Graham against our speed ? No we have not.
Both teams are VERY good football teams, you are not playing the second week of December if you are not . Will it be a close game ? Heck I do not know, NOBODY does! Somebody will move on and somebody will not.

Amen to that! Home team loyalty runs just as deep with Graham as it does with Gilmer, but I don't doubt for a second this will be an awesome game to see. Hoping my team pulls through, but if not we will congratulate and pull for Graham in the championship.

From what I'm hearing, ain't neither team has a chance against Navasota anyway.:( Oh, well, whoever wins this one will give it their best shot. Good luck to the winner.

[garciap77]

Yes, way!:D Remember how fast #3 Tristen Holt was? We have at least 4 or 5 players that are just as fast, at least 2 that are faster. Believe it, brother. Graham will definitely try to contain us, and might do a good job of it, but if any of about 7 or 8 of our players gets a step, it's goodbye. Just telling you the truth. Our defense is fast, too, and has attitude. #20 and #13 will be in the backfield all night, along with #2. Just saying.......buckle up those chin straps tight. This should be a good test for both teams.

Why you calling me WAY, WAY???:D

[LionFan72]

Lot of speed talk going on in here, last i heard speed was a drug enforcement problem. Quick, someone call the DEA and have the team bus from Gilmer searched, find all that speed. lol.

The best prepared team with the fewest mistakes will win, and it will be close, in the 30's range, both can and will score, no doubt. Good luck this week and heres to safe travels and an injury free game! Congrats to both teams for making this far.

Yeah, it was a very tough game... That 4th and short was the play of the game.May have been best game i ever saw............until the next week. After we got thru with Nav and Cuero I really didn't know if we would have anything left for Wylie............turns out we still had Stump!! For myself and I'm sure many other Buckeye fans that was about as wild a 3 weeks as we will probably ever see.

The offense struggled and the defense missed their best player

This same Argyle staff beat Gilmer in the previous 2 years something like 41-14 and 51-35.


All of the above are facts...The worst district line is up for debate, but not for very long. I'll give you 9-3A in that mix, as well.

That is probably the most ridiculous post in this entire thread..............but at least I laughed :D

[hollywood]

Gilmer is no better then gatesville for sure.

You are clueless if you truly believe this.

[Slick50]

You are clueless if you truly believe this.
How many times you seen Gilmer play this year?

[Pawdaddy]

Why is it ridiculous? Why do you think your opponents are any better then ours? Gatesville ranked... Glen Rose ranked... Gilmer ranked... See a pattern...

Yes, I see it. You are so shook up you can only remember the ones starting with "G"! And, in your dilusion, you forgot you have only played Gilmer in your mind. Save your 15th post for a "Congratulations, Gilmer on your SC berth!"

[Ragin Red]

Well according to gilmer posters if you ain't from east texas you're nobody, but come Friday y'all and lot of other posters will see that West, Tx. teams can play football also.

Why does it matter how many post you have numbers mean something to you. You have to have a big number to compensate for you. I bet you drive a big truck to LITTLE man! Now that is funny I don't care who you are...

I don't doubt that one bit. SOME people here do tend to take the "East Texas is the only place" pedestal, and while we have had many state champions in recent years, I don't ever like to discount any team because of location. For Graham to make it here y'all have obviously played some real good football. The only thing I have seen on Graham is the highlights from last week vs Gatesville, and that looked like an awesome game to be at. This Friday should be even more exciting and Gilmer will not underestimate anybody. We will show up ready to play and expecting a battle.

Now a real man from Gilmer that knows the truth. I agree it is going to be one heck of a battle. Can't wait to watch a great football game. God you have to love Texas High School football there is nothing better.

Take this post for what you will.



Graham is a very good team. Offensively, they execute precision passes and run the ball very effectively. The QB is a smart and composed player that has a solid arm. Can throw a very good deep ball and has sure handed receivers that run good routes. Runs a play action very well and can scramble. He's protected by a good sized O-line that plays hard every play. The RB isn't very big but is lightning in a bottle so to speak. Very quick and has great speed especially around the corners. Defensively, they play hard and swarm to the ball. D-line is strong and has good technique. The LB's and DB's thrive in making big plays, big hits and are ball hawks in the secondary. Overall a very good team that has gelled over the season and has a refuse to lose attitude. Quick overall team speed.

Gilmer is a very good team as well. Offensively, they execute a balanced attack by getting the ball in the hands of their speedy playmakers through the command of their QB. They don't have just 1-2 speedy backs, but a platoon of them. The QB has a solid arm and is very elusive in the pocket. They have speed at every skill position and more speed. They thrive on getting the football into the hands of their backs and receivers in open space to make the plays. QB is composed and doesn't get rattled much at all. Very fast overall speed from the O-line to the RB's. Defensively, they play hard and swarm to the ball. They have very fast LB's and DB's that will light it up. D-line is strong and very fast that can close down on a fast RB. Overall a very good team that has also gelled over the season and have that refuse to lose attitude. Not just quick, but very fast overall team speed.

The edge goes to Gilmer on film, on paper and strength of schedule. BUT, Graham has as much of a chance as any team in the playoffs to win this game. They have a group of players that are true gamers. They rise to the occasion each week and look adversity in the face and continue to overcome. They will be a tough team to get passed and believe they have what it takes to compete and win.

Good luck to both.

Got to go with Graham in this one. They've proved me wrong one to many times this season.

I believe that they will win!

I agree and wouldn't want it any other way, and all I know about gilmer is what I've seen on film and heard from my son.

[hollywood]

I've watched Gatesville and watched Gilmer on film. Let me let you in on a little secret. Gilmer's team speed will be greater than anything that Graham has seen all year. ;)

I've watched Graham, Gatesville, Glen Rose, Waco La Vega, Brownwood, Alvarado, Abilene Wylie, Kilgore, Stephenville, Kennedale, and Aledo this season... a few more but not worth mentioning. From what I've seen on video, Gilmer will be the fastest team out of all of them and Kilgore was FAST brotha. I mean fast! Stephenville is the best team out of all of the mentioned and Kilgore gave them all they wanted to the very end. Gilmer beat Kilgore. For Graham to win, they will have to play their best game of the season so far. I believe they can. Best of luck! Truely mean that.

Graham by 7

I like your assesment of the teams, can't vouch for Graham but I believe you on it. I think the game will come down to whichever team is better conditioned, and thus far I have not seen a team as conditioned as the Gilmer Buckeyes. They play all four quarters just as hard and fast as the first kickoff, and most opponents I have watched were sucking air into the third.

[Slick50]

All kidding aside, Gilmer fans believe Gilmer will win and Graham fans believe Graham will win and that's the way it should be. Graham is going into this game as the underdog, which they do in most playoff games. I believe our kids will find a way to get it done and come out with the win. It will be a back and forth game, just like the Gatesville game. I think our D will get a few stops and hopefully a few turnovers. Good luck Steers!!

Yep. He's been held so many times this season it's ludicrous that there hasn't been more holding calls. If the refs would call it just every once in a while he would have had probably 30 sacks, and about 40 tackles for losses. He still has quite a few of each anyway.

Like Slick50 said, we all support our kids and that will never change. Gilmer has a great football history and we all respect that...its something that few teams will ever have and all strive to achieve. Hats off to your coaches, your kids and your community. Graham has been to the big game once and got a taste of it. These young men know, that goal is within grasp again and have taken it upon themselves to attain it. They will fight with everything they have to get it, just as we all know yours (gilmer) will also. It all comes down to who wants it the most and who makes the big plays and fewest mistakes! In 35.5 hours we kickoff to decide who go to the big house for all the marbles!!!!!!!!!!

Well as it stands right now, the weather for kick of time is, cloudy, 30% chance of rain, this chance starts earlier in the day also, so most likely it will be alittle wet! 55 degrees at game time, winds out of the sse at 15 mph. chance of thunderstorms will be looming around end of game! Better prepare for rain!

Graham win the toss and defers to the second half.

Gilmers first drive ends with a punt.

Graham takes the ball and drives the field for a score.

Gilmer take the ball and drives 50 yards and turns it over with a bad pass.

Graham takes the ball and drives the field for another score.

Gilmer takes the ball only 30 yards and is stuffed on a 3rd and long with a qb sack for a 9 yard loss.

Graham takes the ball 40 yards and scores again!

halftime

Graham get the ball the second half and scores again..

Gilmer goes the passing game and trys and catch up and it only get worse from there.

Gilmer scores 14 in the second half but Graham rolls with the win.

Wait wait wait you for got something. The weather 40 degrees and raining... Now that's football we just need to be playing on grass field with mud. Grass in the face mask, mud all over the uniforms, blood coming from your knee, dang had a Madden moment.

I'm not one to predict scores, but I think Gilmer wins this game going away. I just have a feeling they will wear Graham down. That's just the way I see it. Sorry, Graham, nothing to hang your heads about. Y'all had a great season.

I think you should bring back the monkey. Carry on...

Here's my prediction: The same team that beat Henderson and Argyle will show up for this game against the Graham Steers, and they will be more than up for the task at hand. Get ready for a team filled with athleticism and speed. Argyle is no slouch, but they outplayed us in every facet that nite. Our qb was not ready for the speed that pressured him all nite in the backfield. Henderson will attest to the same kind of problems they had in maintaining the ball on offense. Both teams will score, but the Buckeyes will out-athlete the Steers and that will again be the difference here. I look for a very similar score to the Argyle game....about 42-21 Gilmer. Maybe the Steers can keep it closer with some turnovers, but they must make those turnovers cash. I don't think Graham will be able to stop Gilmer on offense, but I think Gilmer will be able to stop Graham on defense. Good luck to both teams. BTW, I think Gilmer can play with anyone is DII this year, and win! Just my take on this game.

Well said & same back to you...the one thing I have not heard about Graham is "they play dirty football". Your rep. is hard hitting & hard fighting...we are ready.

Tempers flare a bit from time to time as expected!!! But they all know its a long ride to the house with a coach that is a freak about that kind of stuff!!! If we win a game it's because we played good ball! that's what I like about our coaches , they ain't putting up with that crap, it makes everyone look bad!!!
