You do YT. Yoakum goes D2 Winner and Cuero D2 Runner up. Wharton, as Winner, plays Cuero and Columbus, as Runner up, plays Yoakum. Both will be rematches of week 0. Good luck to the Bulldogs. I'll be pulling for yall even though I have great respect and admiration of Coaches Valastro and Cauthren. They have really turned the Cardinal program around and returning them to winning ways.

The Victoria Advocate reports Cuero playing Columbus and Yoakum playing Wharton

They must be going on points then.
EC +16 goes D1 R
Wharton -12 goes D2 R
Columbus -4 goes D2 W

so then by points Yoakum gets Wharton and Cuero gets Columbus. Man that is not cool when head to head counts less than points but it happened to LG in 2009 staying home with a three way tie. At least they all get in.

Yoakum plays Wharton, Friday in Sealy. That's a pitiful field as I recall. (Didn't their own coach move the game vs. EC to EC) Guess Wharton won coin toss. And, I assume Victoria is booked Thursday, Friday, Saturday all day.

My observation is that a bye hurts the team going into a big game. Of course if there are injuries or grade issues it can help. I think keeping the edge on going into the playoffs is critical to a team's success. With greater talent to face each week there is no room for slumps. Right now Yoakum is playing real good football and they need to roll that into this next week's game to get the win.

I think Wharton has been open the week prior to the playoffs the last 2 years . They have won the 1st round game both times . It may be in their favor because it allows them to work some JV kids into the mix. Also helps when you have minor injuries. Yoakum will be a tough opponent . The Tigers need to be ready to play, if so they should win this one.

My take too on getting a bye heading into playoffs. This will be a monster task before us. Wharton is fast. As was Giddings. Just keep them in front of ya, and it's possible. We need some of this type "D" to contain them wheels.

Yoakum can win this game, Yoakum could actually be pretty hard to stop if they add discipline to their already good mix. They have good size and athletic ability, and enough of it, that it is hard to stop if they don't stop themselves.

You are right Buff. When they played Cuero they were near perfect and
must have played Giddings really well. I saw Giddings against Cuero and
they had a really good defense. Yoakum scoring 42 points on Giddings was
Impressive. Wharton will be a tough team to beat but if Yoakum plays like
they did last Friday they can Beat them

Me to 44. Love to see this one in Cuero myself. Ya'll got a great gem going on over there with your stadium upgrades (even more coming I see in seating, new locker rooms) and securing these playoff games. Good promoting by CISD. Now, like I said, give great service to the fan's, and you'll all but take them away from Victoria. I loved VM Stadium for viewing, but dreaded the customer service they provided. It all started when you entered the parking lot, and down hill from there. You could tell the workers were not happy working that night. Be like Sinton. Now, you talking about feeling at home when you play there. Don't get any better than how Sinton treats ya as a fan. With all the turf fields going in, you better provide something extra to get these games. Good job Cuero.

Some teams do good with a late bye. Especially in a district in which they slugged it out each week. As it appeared Wharton did in a tough D25 schedule. We too slugged it out, and luckily made it through D26 without sustaining any injury. So, for us, it's our benefit to continue on without a rest week. Two weeks a long time off at this point. But, I agree---it's a blessing if you had injury's. Good luck to your Tigers WT. Amazing all that speed ya'll have.

Odd team we have this year. Dog's a different team on the road. They thrive as being given no chance or as underdogs. Love to hush the opposite stands. This is an odd team to figure out. But, it's also the most talented we've had in decades that I've seen in person. They want it, they can obtain it, with that talent. Next 3 or 4 year's, Yoakum will be in great shape.

WT's world class speed really concerns us though. Some teams have one or two burners, heck---I think Wharton has about ten. Does ya'lls entire sprint relay teams, play football too?

11-13-2013, 09:16 AM

Yes, Tre' Hights is the Bulldog qb and he is very dangerous on the run or in busted plays. He has a decent arm and some good receivers to keep the mix fairly balanced. They have another big rb also named Hights #10 who is a hoss and gets the ball a lot. In our game there were few penalties and only one turnover for Yoakum iirc. Their defense needs to step it up a notch or two to beat Wharton but that is possible.

I wouldn't say a lot faster. Faster maybe but the Bulldogs are a fast team. Does Wharton have a big power running back? Yoakum's #10 is a hoss and will drag tacklers 5 or 6 yards unless they hit low and wrap up.

all 3 Rbs are speed backs, that will take it to the house in a eye blink, our soph. back Dontre Elliott is a little guy that runs very very hard. But no big power backs. If yoakum is not a good open field tackling team, then Wharton can have some success at running the ball.

Wharton vs. Yoakum (at Sealy)

The Tigers are making their third straight appearance in the state playoffs, including the last two years under Coach Tim Finn.

Wharton will also be seeing a familiar face in the Yoakum Bulldogs. The two teams met in the same bi-district round last year, with the Tigers taking a 48-34 win.

A few weeks ago, Coach Tim Finn was asked off the record who he would rather play, Cuero, a team they beat in the first game of the season, or Yoakum.

His response then, as it was this week, was the same.

“We’re just excited to be playing,” Finn said.

Last year, the Bulldogs used a two-quarterback system. Both are back this year, but only one is mainly seeing action as the team’s signal-caller, junior Tre’vontae Hights.

“He was the regional champion in the triple jump,” Finn said. “He’s a very good athlete. He’s more of a running threat, but he’s also a good passer.”

The other quarterback, Chase Hermes, is now playing at linebacker and also sees time at tight end on offense, Finn said.

“He’s a good player,” Finn said.

Finn said the Bulldogs are similar to the Tigers.

“They lost a few offensive linemen from last year like us,” Finn said.

Finn said the Bulldogs have a “very explosive football team. They demonstrated their big play ability last year,” he added.

The Tigers were up 28-0 at one point.

“They got back in the game with some big play TDs,” Finn said.

The Tigers enter the game with an 8-2 record, equaling the number of wins as last year. At one time, Wharton had a school record-tying seven straight wins.

Yoakum enters the game with a 4-5 record.

The winner of the game will face the La Vernia-Wimberley winner in the area round of the playoffs next week.

Yes, Wharton is the fastest team ever. It's like they work out all year at a gym on this or something.

I have nothing to contribute to the continued who's the faster chatter .... but when I read this, it reminded me of the Track Meets back in 2005, 2006 and 2007 - the Wharton track team would show up covered head to toe (literally) in Red, White and Blue under-armour - long sleeves and all - matching track shoes.. looking sharp as tacks......... We'd joke that they'd win the Fashion category for sure :hijacktd::crazy1:

those were the days man i remember running against Stephen Hargrave and Brandon James.... Cuero and Wharton used to go at it especially in the relays. Stephen had the 100 sowed up and Brandon would easily win the 200 by 20 meters or more JOGGING. did they ever go run at the next level?

Yoakum's coach used a physic in preparing. I think her name was Miss Cleo. Kid's were seen holding candles, chicken feet scattered about and feathers in their helmets, prior to practice this week. Odd things going on before to this re-match. Guess whatever edge you need. When I seen them running the bone a few series, I departed. It's getting scary.

Yes sir he can dunk he is not the typical slow DL lol he runs a legit 4.8 4.9. And the basketball coach wasnt in there he was with some of his friends just playing around before school. BEING A FRESHMAN and not really knowing the importance of being a starter on varsity in the playoffs. Hopefully its lesson learned to all of the athletes.

IDK if you are being funny or not YT. but you LITERALLY wont be able to see #2 DOntre Elliot he is about 5'5 at the most but runs like he is 6'2. he loves to hid through the holes and then off to the trackmeet he goes.

11-15-2013, 10:40 AM

I've seen how that kid (#2) hits the holes and how the OL all stands up after the snap so he get's a good vision of that hole. Never seen a line block like that before, but--it's clear it works for ya'll. I'm dead serious in regards to ya'll being the fastest team we've ever faced. Gotta keep them in front of us. But, after seeing EC last night, and knowing they held ya'll to just 65 yards of offense, I'm liking our chances more and more. Cause, we for sure are faster than EC.

Here's the facts:

WT is not as good as last year. As Obama would say, period.
Ykm is better than last year. Period.
EC defense held WT to just over 50 total yards. Amazing.
EC last night was sloooowwwwww.
Ykm D will swarm like killer bee's, much faster than EC. (Only thing I agree with YT about all year. I noticed it too last night).

Let's end this BS in regards to speed. We match up well in that department. PERIOD.

I see us scoring over 30, and I just can't see Wharton scoring. I'm sure they will, we usually give up some freebe's. But, they will not drive it on our D especially if they couldn't against a slower EC defense.

There. PERIOD!!!!

Lets get this straight EC would murder yoakum, you are comparing our one bad game to your entire season. you might wanna go relook at the youtube videos and see just how good we are. that was our first and only game under 100 yds rushing. IT WONT HAPPEN TONIGHT. Please be reminded that all 4 receivers are back from last year. Unless you can play man and put 7 or 8 in the box, i suggest you keep the comments until after tonight.

I agree. Kick the ball in the stands. As I said, this WT team is soooo freaking fast, it's amazing the big ol'monster RiceBirds were able to stop ya'll.. But, after last night, gives me some hope we can play with Wharton. Can't let them get the corner, that much I know.

Not sure I'd kick the ball to our guys either. We are a few 1/10ths slower, but can move. If we can block #22, I like our chances getting some nice returns ourselves. #22 is a beast on special teams.

I think it's a case of district rivals knowing what each other wants to do offensively.
EC coaches have seen whs spread so much that it is second nature to stop it.
Yoakum containing the corners on run defense would be a good start.
Wharton Tiger suggested man coverage and 7-8 in box as if it were a bad thing.
I will pull for whs tonight but I just cannot get out of my mind that whs had no answer to EC containment defense and ROYAL keeping them out of the end zone first half in the red zone.
Rush 7 or 8
Only five OL plus a back
EC and Royal were not scared of the deep ball cause they basically said whs qb won't have time to set his feet.
Yoakum might want to think about letting their qb go for 40 plus carries.
Heck, ride that thoroughbred and see what happens.
Darn, I write as good as scoop. Haha

It would be a big mistake for Yoakum to take the results of Lagrange-ElCampo game and compare that to the the game with Wharton. Wharton is 8-2 for a reason . They are a good Ballclub. Yoakum is 4-5 for a reason. They are not consistent week to week. They can beat Wharton but they better bring there A game and don't have turnovers that have kill them in some of there games. IMO this will be the best game of the 253A- 263A matchups .

They will be tough bd. We have not faced a OL that executes like WT does. That could take some time to get use too. We practiced against it, but--our kid's had trouble trying to be like Whartons. I think Wharton needs to bring their A game as well. Should be a good one. Very good.:clap:

incorrectly stated from a guy who wasnt even at the games.. If you didnt know 1. Elliot had 3 rushing touchdowns in the first half, so why throw the ball? 2. we burnt ROYAL 5 times by 15yds plus and dropped 5 walk in touchdowns alone in the first quarter. Our OC kept running the play just to see if #24 Bell would make the play he didnt so we put another receiver there and caught the pass. that means nothing on tonight just dont say that royal kept us out of the endzone in the redzone because they didnt we had dumb penalties that kept ourselves out.

Congratulations to Wharton for a decisive win over a determined Bulldog team. Wharton does have plenty of speed beating the Yoakum defensive backs three times on deep routes for tds. Krenek was impressive with a very accurate arm. Yoakum couldn't mount a consistent running game to control the clock and gave Wharton too many possessions and the result was a high scoring game of catch up. A blocked punt and a fumble returned for 2 easy tds sunk the Bulldogs early. Tre Hights hurt his left knee and was carried off the field and into the locker room on the gator. It didn't look good. Hermes came in and led the Bulldogs on a comeback attempt getting 2 scores but the Wharton offense just matched them and won by 21 same as in the first half. Good luck to the Tigers next week. Yoakum played with plenty of heart but just couldn't put it all together. No reason to hang you heads Bulldogs you played with class and never gave up.

Yoakum had some very good football players with a lot of speed. Yoakum has a good football team, they just do not run the spread offense as well as Wharton does. If they were playing under Wharton's system they would be hard to deal with. I was really impressed with Yoakum's kids. Good luck to the Tigers next week.
