Cuero vs. Sinton

[Snotbubbles]

This one should be a very competitive contest. Not sure if Victoria is available to host, but--would be ideal. Or, Floresville (by me). I'm selfish. LOL.

[44INAROW]

We thought maybe Floresville too.

Another great match up. Both teams are playing quality football and it will be a close game. I'll go with my D26 team by 10.

[YTBulldogs]

Both pretty good clubs here. Yes, Victoria would be nice. Your right though, it could be booked with Sinton playing this late on Sat. Hmmmm. Floresville certainly has upgraded their facilities. Best locker rooms I've used and it's turf with plenty of seating. Didn't even think about it. Is it about the same distance for both? Of course, it could already be booked too. Could flip home for home.

[sinfan75]

Don't forget Refugio! New turf field and it might be the field of choice!

Is the seating capacity large enough to host this game?

[pirate4state]

I'm hoping for Floresville. Less traffic in that area!

[iFootball]

Is there just one game Saturday in Victoria? What is going on in SA that most of the games are outside of SA like CC and Victoria?

[footballgal]

Great to to see this match up again.

[YTBulldogs]

Could be in Refugio, say's it seats 7500. More than Sinton, Cuero and Floresvile. Floresville seats 5000.

Man just like old times Gobblers get to play the Pirates again this should be a good one. Hopefully the Gobblers can keep their streak up verses Sinton. I think one of the streaks will be broke as I don’t see Cuero shutting out the Pirates as they did in years past but I have been wrong before.

[Ranger354]

yep last 4 meetings Cuero has shut out Sinton.

Not sure how accurate this is but series is something like Cuero 8-6 against Sinton with the Gobblers on a 6 game win streak against Sinton. Sinton won in 2001 and 2002 before the Gobblers ran off 6 straight. Sinton from 1982 to 2002 Sinton went 5-1 when they met.

Both teams playing their best ball right now.

Looks like ingelside played Cuero pretty tough just curious if the Birds had a bad night? Or was ingelside D that good?

[MustangFootball]

Ingleside's defense is pretty good, they played Cuero tough last year too losing by 7 points. They've been playing bend but don't break defense all season long.... They tend to give up yards but stiffen up around the goal line. This should be a good game and a huge test for both teams.

[Roxy5252]

Looks like it's going to be a good game. Sinton beat Yoakum, Yoakum beat Cuero. Cuero beat Ingleside, Ingleside beat Sinton. But Sinton's defense is playing great as of late and of course the offense can score the points.

Once in SA, I think it would be easiest to take Hwy 90 towards Castroville, exit 151 North all the way to 1604 to get to that side of town. Traffic might not be an issue on that day, but it can be terrible on any other Friday.

[Ranger354]

Traffic in SA is terrible any day!!! But your right it should be slower since it's sort of a holiday.

We are very balanced on offense , our tailback is very big , fast and physical ( has right at 2000 rush yrds so far ) ! We have a good young QB , with lots of speed and size on the edges! Defense is bend but don't break , with lots of youth and recovery speed , we play the pass well as well.

[Ranger354]

The fact that These two teams have flip flopped wins and loses with mutual opponents means this game should be good. Real good! I am gonna wish everyone safe travels.

and to answer Manso's question - Cuero does have a live turkey mascot but she doesn't make the games - Her name is Ruby Begonia and she's still glowing from kicking Paycheck's butt (from Worthington Minnesota) in the Great Gobbler Gallop in October.

I have a feeling that this may end up as a crazy "whoever has the ball last wins" type of games! :O

Can't have any turnovers and must tackle at the point of first contact, especially with that big back they have :eek: This game will REALLY test our defense. Those boys are ready for the challenge.

Our offense will just have to continue to do what they do with some new added wrinkles (I hope). Our loss against Raymondville was mental and the loss against Ingleside was about Ingleside getting timely stops/turnovers. Those games are behind us and these boys are ready to get down & dirty!

It's been a long time since Sinton/Cuero faced off. Hopefully this is the year we stop being their doormat. :o

It's been confirmed. But, after a night in jail was released. Sounded kinda excessive to me what they did to him in LaGrange. He's like 70 years old. I think Barney Fife, from LPD wanted to feel like a real cop, slamming him down hard enough to send hard hat 30 feet into the air, with facial lacerations. Man, he must of done something really bad to warrant that manhandling. Not like he was going to go tear down the goalpost's following the Gob's loss. Come on LaGrange. Hope the officer got booted?

Tyler Handson rushing totals are 2226 yards with 33 rushing touchdowns. Handson has pass for 1439 yards with 11 touchdowns. His total yards are 3665 yards and 44 touchdowns.

Just my opinion , but I'm pretty sure your defense hasn't seen a big power back that will pound you and pound you , but also has the speed to take it to the house. We throw very well with lots of size and speed on the edges as well! Who knows , should be a good game. Hope every has safe travels , and both teams injury free.

ssshhh that's a secret :)

[1stnurseryman]

Most of those are a shuttle pass are forward toss that go down as a pass. He has only thrown what I would call a pass once. For Cuero to win this game they must contain the QB are it's gonna big a long night.

[bps093]

No secrets in this one. I give advantage to the Pirates. I would guess that they will know whats coming and will just have to tackle. Tough task but should be able to play fast. Cuero on the other hand has the difficult task of dual threat Handson to contend with. Will be difficult for cuero to do anything that surprises the pirates.

[1stnurseryman]

Theres really no surprise at what we do.. We line up and run straight at u with a few pass's tossed in..

No matter what happens Friday night between these two historic programs , both teams have advanced to the regionals , and there are just 16 teams left! That in itself says a lot about the Gobblers & the Pirates! We know we need to stop there dual threat QB , and they know they need to stop our power running game! So now we just get to wait till Friday to see what happens!!

[GobblersUnite]

I agree....but I personally know who has been "simulating" the Sinton QB and he says the defense has been salivating at the mouth all week and have been taking it out on him. And tis kid is very quick. I think those fightin' Gobblers will be ready for the fight!

[GobblersUnite]

Gotta defend the whole field....even though sometimes it seems that those Gobblers are just shoving the ball down the middle of the field.

And tis kid is very quick. I think those fightin' Gobblers will be ready for the fight!:) He's simulating a qb that has 9000 yds of offense in 3 seasons and 90 tds. That back up should be a starter.

seriously though for both teams, nothing gets started for skill players unless the unsung heroes take care of their job at the line of scrimmage .

Good luck to both teams and stay injury free. GO PIRATES! GO Green PIRATES and Mustangs! D30!

Great win for Sinton but I think Hopkins injury played a part in their win tonight. But Hanson was pretty much shut down all night too! On to the R4 finals for the 1st time in about 5 or 6 years

Go Pirates! LOL 1st off didn't make the game!! But listening to K-mack it sounded like Cuero's D did a good job of slowin him down in the 2nd half! Also I know how to spell his name...I didn't know you were the new Downlow spell-check police!! LOL

[bps093]

Seemed to be pretty even. Both teams did an effective job of ball control for most of the game. Thought the fourth down call for Cuero was questionable. I would have given the ball to the other Hopkins. This was the first turning point of the game. Great catch by #16 late in 2nd. Second turning point was actually Cueros last TD. Hopkins never returned and the Gobblers were not the same. It was obvious from my pov that Handson was gimpy but played his guts out and how about the play of the Owens kid. Big, tough runs all night and 2 TD's. Also, the 2 pt conversion was nice. It was a good HS football playoff game that was just fun to watch. 2 well coached teams that played hard all night. Good luck to the Pirates next week.

I was listening on the Radio and that is how the announcers made it sound as well. It sounded like he was contained for the most part, but I guess he wasn't? At any rate, it sounds like that Freshman for Sinton was an X factor that most didn't know about. :clap:

[bps093]

Cueros D kept Handson from ripping off big runs but he was still getting 3-4 on most of his runs. And Cuero knows all about the Freshman. He played for them in the 7th grade.

Ah I see. I didn't recognize the kids name and didn't know he had played in Cuero.

[YTBulldogs]

what happened to Hopkins and when did he go out?

[bd62]

what happened to Hopkins and when did he go out?

Ankle. He scored early 3rd qt but not sure he came back. I was listening on Cuero radio and they said they were icing down his ankle.

[Sweetwater Red]

Well he did have that one big run in the first quarter that went for what 30 plus yards? But yes, the only time they stopped him was
on the last couple of possessions when Sinton was calling basic run plays in an attempt to kill the clock.

[bps093]

what happened to Hopkins and when did he go out?

think he hurt his ankle when he scored last TD. May have hurt it several plays earlier, but obviously was pretty serious after TD as he never returned and Cuero was not the same.

[pirate4state]

He scored Cuero's TD early 3rd quarter so they were without him most of the 2nd half. He is a great back and we caught a break when he went out, but our defense still stepped it up and had some good stops. To be continued....


what happened to Hopkins and when did he go out?

[YTBulldogs]

Shame. Good kid, great RB.

[1stnurseryman]

what happened to Hopkins and when did he go out?

After 1st offensive searies in 3rd Q.. Also lost strong safety at 1/2 due to broken hand and lost our weak side safety who was also our wideout out to off the field issues... Congrats to Sinton on the win good luck next week.

[Ranger354]

It was a great game. The first score was a gift IMO. Cureo's RB was a great runner and sinton couldn't seem to stop that wildcat play. Glad Tracker got to come in and play and make a great int late in the game! I figured sinton could pull off the win if thy played mistake free football.

That play was there all night for Cuero but they went to the well
one too many times and that kid did make a great play on the ball
when it mattered.

My thoughts EXACTLY!! VERY POOR PLAY CALLING!! And that was after a time out!!! Then look what happens when Sinton had 4th and 7 after time out pass for TD!!! Out COACHED!!!!!!

Yea Handson hasn't been 100 percent since getting injured in Robstown game so lacks the speed right now to break a long one against a team that has some speed also. But he's been playing like that since then and can still make some cuts just not the burst he normally would have.

Both teams played their hearts out and battle to last snap. Great game and season for both. Good win Pirates.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Sinton rushing stats:
Tyler Handson 31 carries 160 yards 2 tds
John Gabriel Guzman 15 carries 99 yards
Ethan Owens 15 carries 78 yards 2 tds
Colton Cohea 1 carry 7 yards(This soph gets the carries he will also put up the numbers)

Kiddos to the Pirates on their awesome show of sportsmanship, when every Sinton player went to the Cuero bench to congratulate the injured Gobblers not able to cross field. This was a classic showdown that thrilled the fans. I knew our Pirates could do it! Congratulations on a great season. I'm sure we'll meet again next year. I can't wait. Our future looks bright with lots of talent in the freshman and JV ranks, as I'm sure yours does too! Gooo Pirates!!!! :wave:

I wouldn't go as far as that at all! This group of coaches have done a great job getting a team that three years ago couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag all the way to round three of playoffs in second year. I am sure there are some calls that the coaches would like to have back, however I bet the coach on the other side had some of those also. This group of kids fought hard and at the end we were not deep enough to withstand halftime injuries to sr #19 a starter on defense and contributor on offense after having sr starter #10 not making the trip for dicipline reasons couple that with losing jr #20 after first drive in second half to injury, those two injuries and not having #10 Cuero also was without fr #17 a quick RB that would relieve #20 and give Gobblers a quick speed runner for defenses to be concerned about, and jr #18 having to sit this game out as well. This 2013 team could not stand to lose so many players that were contributors throughout the sason and win against a Sinton team firing on all cylinders.

Gobblers played a great team Friday night not just a good Coach on Sinton sideline, bottomline Cuero coaching staff is a good one, and these kids played hard and achieved what most in our district and throughout the state said Gobblers would not be able to do.

Hats off to the Seniors that that stayed with this team all four years playing through the disasterous freshman year and fighting hard for the love of the game and the honer of being a member of Goobler football team at the final whistle.

[bps093]

Rationalize it anyway you want. This time of year everyone has injuries. Agree that neither side was out coached. Cuero was outplayed. That is the bottom line. For whatever reason, spin, excuse... Sinton outplayed cuero in 2nd half.

No one has come in and made and excuse.. Everything stated is a fact not a spin. There are certain players that when you lose them it effects the outcome of a game. Sinton win last night fare and square but that doesn't change the fact that we lost a great running back early in the game.

Every team deals with injuries or missing players.
From the postings about Cuero this year, it seems like the offense was something of a one trick pony.
I always thought that if that pony got hurt, Cuero wouldn't fare so well.
I hope he will be completely healed soon.

Congratulations on a good season.

Great Post. I had a grandson on the team 2 yr ago and Cuero had a down yr. the turn around under Coach Reeves in a short time is
Remarkable. The future is bright for Cuero football.Also Sinton is a class program and good luck to them next week.

Your really gonna go there??? So much class!!

That isn't classless!! It's the truth!! When the kids play their butt's off the last 3 weeks just to have the coaches lay a couple of EGGS to blow it!!! Yes the future does look BRIGHT in Cuero !!!

I agree with this post. Thank you. Even though sinfan75 feels that Handson was held "in check" I think he did an outstanding job last night on a bum wheel. Very proud of our freshman, Owens. Even his comments after the game were impressive! Kudos, kid! :clap:

He ran for 160 yards. Granted not his "normal" 200+ night, but I'll take it! Plus, this is the first game these announcers have done for us. At one point they mentioned that south Texas teams are not used to turf....uh...we've had a turf field for over 2 years now! LOL :doh: Don't get me wrong; I loved that we had them, but they were off on some of the things. Another was referring to our flag as a "jolly rancher flag" LMAO

Anyway....props to Cuero on a great season. They will be a force once again next year & beyond. Not gonna lie...felt pretty damned good to FINALLY beat them again. :wave:

Keep it rolling Pirates!

44, I was speaking in general about teams, when they have a stud player go down, excuses start. For the most part, Cuero didn't use it as an excuse. Seen more from Sinton, as to why Ykm beat them recently. Post #14 on current GOTW game thread only one I seen mentioning Cuero. Might not even be a Cuero supporter. Dunno. Knowing your elite program, you know a second chance will come around, for paybacks. A few from page 11 on (tango poster for one) from this thread last year, mentioned Hopkins booboo as to why they lost. Along with a couple others.

With all Sinton had returning, I certainly had them ranked #1 in this district, and didn't see them faltering like they are. They will not be in awe, cause they beat ya'll last year. But, it wasn't in front of the Cuero faithful and a packed Gobbler Stadium. This should be the state's GOTW.

This should be the state's GOTW.Big difference from playoff last year to this season is the defense not playing at that level it needs to be for a full game and they return 8 from last year group. A lot of it is the intensity of a playoff game that can get you playing at higher level knowing its win or go home mentality. So far only seen them really be pump up for a game and that was the La Vernia game they were swarming and playing well defensively for most of that game. Hopefully its still in them to reach that level defensively as the offense is starting to play well with Handson looking like he's healthy again.
