Stephenville vs Anchorage (AK) South High 8/29

[hollywood]

First game of the season starts with an opponent traveling further away than any other team the Jackets have ever played. A larger school than Stephenville, the Wolverines will come into this game most likely playing further south geographically than any game they have ever played. Will the hot and humid weather be a defying factor in this game? Absolutely it will and especially for the Wolverines. As it will be the warmest climate the Wolverines will have likely ever played in, but rest assured, they will be excited and intense to the challenge. This will be a very good experience for both teams. Season has started and will be officially kicked off next Friday for the 5 time State Champions Stephenville Yellow Jackets. What do we know about the South High Wolverines? We will find out next Friday night! Get ready folks,'Friday night lights are here... Just a few days away.

And will be more than likely a blowout for the ville against a bunch of guys who are better ice fishermen, snowmobilers, and Iditarod dog mushers.

LOL. Totally agree. Ville by 40. Unless it snows, then by 35. If Sarah Palin comes, let me know, I'd like to see her.

I bet anchorage boys can grow some beards though.. Get some of that.

Jackets will beat the Breaks off them Boys.

[Aesculus gilmus]

At least they're the school on the south side of town. Shortens the distance a bit.

Gilmer's hospital just announced it was closing. I hope the one in Stephenville is still open and ready to accept all the "heat stroke" victims.

[2muchOffense]

After looking at their team page, it looks like them Alaska boys have some good size. However since they spelled Stephenville wrong on the schedule I don't think they have done enough homework. I'm a little concerned about them already playing two games, but I doubt they face very many spread teams up there. Had we not lost to Mexico in 2012 we might have taken this game too lightly. You can count on Coach G having these Jackets fired up. Our cans are dusted off and its gonna be loud this Friday in the Ville.....and hot!

[Pudlugger]

Those Anchorage boys will be tough. After putting up with mosquitoes all summer they will enjoy the dry heat of West Texas. This will be their third game so they should be getting it together by now.

Wolverines will be fortunate that a cold front is forecasted for Friday. The high will be 91 degrees! It hasn't gotten over 61 degrees in Anchorage the week.

Even Fort Laurderdale had issues with the heat last year. I don't see the Alaskans handling this weather very well. Hopefully for the players safety they have been training in a controlled heated facility! Otherwise, heat exhaustion will be a risk.

[regaleagle]

I don't expect those Wolverines with an enrollment of over 1700 have any idea what they'll be up against playing smaller classification schools from Texas in football, haha. Heck, they'd probably have trouble with an East Bernard or Cisco, much less Stephenville. I believe they done went and chewed off a bit more than they realized here, lol. Now maybe they could give somebody like Perryton out in the much "cooler" climate of the Panhandle a whirl, but we won't ever know. Looks like the Yellowjackets backups better get ready for a lot of minutes in the 2nd half.

Watch the second half of the North Texas vs Ball State game from last season. Played in Denton on a September Saturday afternoon. If there ever was a team that melted in the second half. from the Texas heat ... Ball State.

[Emerson1]

According to their schedule they play Stephensville, not Stephenville.

Seriously, why do so many people want to add an S to it?

[jason]

This will be the Fox Sports Southwest DQ Big Game of the Week.

It won't be 60-0. I heard they have a pretty solid defense but struggle to put up points.
They have played 2 games already so they also might be a little more polished than most week 0 opponents.
I think Stephenville (and the heat, even if it is only in the low 90's) eventually win out, but it might be a little closer than what people think.

There is good football outside of Texas believe it or not! lol

I think South High will be a very good team. I did some research on their school. They are the #803 nationally ranked high school is the US in academic indicators. Stephenville is #1998 for what it's worth. South High is the #1 public high school in Alaska academically. Do they know football? I bet their pretty salty. Most likely, they play smart football! :D

^^This plus for whatever reason we seem to start slowly.

[Ville-D]

I think we will start fast this year. The combined running ability of Stidham and Williams will soften teams up early, then we will be able to pass when ever we need to. I see it as a blowout. Once we take the red jersey off of Stidham, it opens up a whole new side of the game that has not been there the past 2 weeks.

Stephenville by 40 to 50.

This Alaska team coming down here to Texas might be a little better than we realize. It's better to be cautiously optimistic than to be overconfident. I do think the heat down here will make them wilt, and I think Stephenville wins going away. Can you say CRAMPS?

[hollywood]

Here's a story on the Wolverines commenting on the opportunity to play Stephenville when the agreement started. Why they chose Stephenville, guess it's because they wanted to play the best. :cool:

I hope so, the Jackets are 2-4 the last 6 years in openers and both wins were by 1 point.

[Ville-D]

Looks like about 25 to 30 to me.

[2muchOffense]

Yeah but the last six games included two from that feisty bunch south of the border and the other four were against some very good Aledo teams. Three which ended up being state champs.

pickle juice

[waterboy]

pickle juice

Personally, I've never tried it. Does it really work?

I know that we played a little ol' team from Las Vegas in '06 called Bishop Gorman in our opener. You would think they would be used to the heat seeing as they are from the desert, but they started wilting and cramping before halftime. They were jello in the second half. We put a good ol' whooping on them Vegas boys to the tune of 56-17, if memory serves.

way faster, and more effective than gatorade type products..electrolyte super boost!!! plain water intake, and pickle juice shots readily available..no team would wilt!!!

One of the best electrolytes on the planet is coconut water. If I know I am going to be on a fire scene for a while I will bring some with me.

I may be going out on a limb here but I bet coconuts are hard to find in Alaska. They may have to raid HEB when they arrive in Stephenville this week.

Absolutely correct. They used it in WWII for IV's in the Pacific when they ran out of glucose.

Yes it is Sville! I've used it in smoothies, juices, and have drunk it by itself for several years. By itself... blah!! But it's good for you.

[alaskacat]

Dont make much difference, several of the south players are from Texas , and Somoa :) They are big and quick. Dont underestimate them. Schools up here venture outside once in awhile mostly to washington and win as many as they loose, but they always pick on the big guys. The heat will bother them, since as hot as it got up here is like 76.

[caleb_mccaig]

pickle juice

Coaches made us drink pickle juice before every game and at halftime when I played. I can honestly say that in all three years of varsity I never cramped once in a game.

Did anyone see those kids during one of the games on ESPN this week who were chugging mustard straight from bottle? It made me want to throw up, but apparently is also a way to fight cramps.

[hollywood]

I know the Wolverine is suppose to be one tough creature! But how they can handle Texas heat and a swarm of pissed off Yellowjackets will be entertaining.

I'm just glad we're not playing the Honeybadgers! Wholly shite... that would be a brawl.

[Sville]

FWIW I wouldn't mind enjoying some Anchorage weather this time of year.

Methinks the team from Alaska will be really excited come Friday nite under those lights in Stephenville with all those rabid fans attending. It's just a different kind of atmosphere for high school football than just about anywhere else....and they'll definitely be impressed. It'll probably be a highlight experience they'll remember for many, many years....and we do it every week all over the state, regardless of classification. Put on your gamefaces and make us proud, you Jacketeers.

Thanks for sharing alaskacat! The team in the powderpuff blue appears to be deceptively slow. DL for that team doesn't fire off the ball and pursuit angles are way off. Give credit to South High's OL and RB, but the Wolverines will be in for a treat against the years Jackets. DL will be a strong point! :)

“He’s good, he’s obviously legit,” said Lewis, who has only seen Stephenville on film from its preseason scrimmages. “I know he’s not going to be able to wear a red jersey, and it’s up to our team to pressure him.

Nothing like a little fool for the fire.

Hey, let them key on Stidham and see what happens. Let them pick their poison. Weapons all over the field on O. Even though it's the first game for Sville, South High will not have seen on O that clicks at the pace Sville does.

8 players starting both ways in the Texas heat trying to keep up with Ville's pace? Ville by as many as they want. Boys will be lucky to finish the game. Ville won't be tested till the last game of the regular season.

[Smitty]

8 players going both ways! Ok I gotta see this! Might need to have more than a couple of ambulances on stand by at the game.

Thats what it said on the roster when I followed the link to "Cody's Corner". Seriously better have more than 1 ambulance on standby. I don't think they know what they are getting into.

Thats why I spend the entire summer up here and come back at pllayoff time :)

The rain this morning has made some great weather for the day.....high about 95 and humid as hell. The wolverines should have practiced in sauna suits instead of blue jeans. Football is almost here!

Woke up this mornin'
Nobody was home
It was so boring
Being here all alone
I sang a song of sorrow
Make your heart ache
Same thing tomorrow

All joking aside, Stephenville welcomes the South High Wolverines with open arms. It's exciting to host another out of state football program. South High is a very tradition rich program in Alaska which will be interesting to see how they measure up with one of Texas's best football programs. It's not very often that HS football teams get to experience this type of opportunity and compare your program with ones from other regions of the country. Listening to Coach G this morning reminded me of the coordination that was involved to make this happen. He mentioned better them than us to have to travel that far to play a game. I think it would be a great experience for Stephenville or any other tradition rich football program to travel to places like Ohio, Alabama, Florida or California to play some of the top programs they claim to have.

I'll do my best to make it to that side of the stadium to meet some of the Alaskans!

That and most of the home side is empty reserved seats so unless you like sitting between the 20 and end zone, you go to the other side where it's usually empty.
And we'll have a 6 month old so the cans probably wouldn't help.

True and good point! Curious of how many Alaskan's and others will be holding down that side of the stadium.

I'm sure there will be Alaskins come from far and wide! I think I read where there are a few players for South that are from Texas, maybe Granpa, grandma, aunts, uncles and other family members
will fill the visitors side.

I think the most exciting part about this experience for South High will be the atmoshpere Texas Friday Night Lights offers. No way they have the energy the crowd brings to the games like here in Texas. We're accustomed to it.

I think South High consumed Stephenville's water supply by halftime! Every timeout, they drenched themselves in H2O and had icecold wet towels draped over their heads at halftime. It was only 85* at kickoff. Wow, those boys were not ready for Texas weather. They played til the end though! I'll give them that.

[YTBulldogs]

LOL. Totally agree. Ville by 40. Unless it snows, then by 35.

Guess it didn't snow. Congrats.

If this has been posted, sorry for asking again.

Does Ville travel north next year for this game?

If this has been posted, sorry for asking again.

No it was a one year contract. I do not know what we are doing for next year's opener.

I was not surprised at what the Sville offense did 43 pts and 500 yds, but the Jacket D impressed me holding SAHS to 148 yds total, 10 first downs and the shutout.

[FB-fanatic]

What were the opening game scores for the Alaska boys the past three years vs southern teams?

[Sville]

What were the opening game scores for the Alaska boys the past three years vs southern teams?

South plays in Alaska's largest classification and was the #1 ranked team in AK heading into this game at 2-0. This was the first time an AK school had played a TX school. South had traveled to Calif. and Wash. the last few years to play. IDK the scores of those games. They had too many players going both ways to be playing in TX in August. You could tell they got wore out. They were pretty big and physical but not a lot of speed. They would prolly be a 3rd and 4th place team in our district.

[hollywood]

Anchorage South High reminded me of Alvarado or Amarillo. South High is 90% run oriented offensively and use 2 TE's. And they were both big boys! They had a few really good athletes in the skill positions, QB was solid and the OL and DL were big and physical. Like Sville said, they just couldn't hang having so many go both ways. Their main 2 RB's would have been able to do more if they were given time to get into space. Ville's DL and LB's, really impressive last night! Ville's NG is a freak of a man child. It's going to be a fun season.

[2muchOffense]

In my opinion the Ville offense struggled at the start but got it together. It's tough to say we looked sluggish because I think the starters scored on every drive. However we looked a bit off. I was very impressed with how the defense swarmed the football. They played really great. Alaska was physical but was completely overmatched. I hate seeing us shoot ourselves in the foot with penalties, but it was nice to see them get first downs when facing long second and third downs. Since I believe the playbook is still scaled way down still, I'm not putting too much stock into this game. Respect to Alaska for trying to get better and improve their program. On to mighty Gatesville!

Agreed on the sluggish. It was good to see us overcome the penalties. I think we only had one penalty after the 1st drive. Defense adjusted well after the first couple of 1st downs. I was on the sideline taking pictures and Anchorage was gassed by the middle of the 2nd qt. Kaegun was down right filthy and Chapman continues to impress. Our DL is some bad dudes!:speech:

[2muchOffense]

I was very impressed with Chapman. Other than the one fumble, he did a outstanding job. He runs hard! The d-line owned the Alaska lineman. Reynolds almost took some of the handoffs he was back there so fast. I didn't understand why Alaska stayed out so long during warmups. By the time they went into the locker room, there was only 10 minutes before the kick.
