Gilmer vs Gladewater

[lostaussie]

All reports are Friday in Long view with a 6:30 kickoff. This one should be epic. 13 miles separate the towns. Both wear orange and black. I can't wait!!!

[regaleagle]

I'll take the team wearing the Orange & Black. :smoker:

I'm hitching my wagon to Gladewater this post-season for 2 reasons..

1. They most closely resemble the style of football I love....

2. They're fixing to break it off in Gilmer's sweet potato loving, D-1 recruiting, high octane offense, no defense playing, ever loving ass. There I said it.

Gilmer wins it's what they do. Besides Gilmer coach picked the officials and Gladewater picked the venue. Advantage Gilmer. Gilmer is no stranger at winning at lobo statium.

Gilmer doesn't stand a chance against Da Bears. Gilmer's weak schedule finally catches up with them this week.

That would be Gladewater...we are visitors in our Whites...however, there is a wrinkle...the Bears have a set of blacks with black numbers...we asked that they not wear em but they say they are...UIL is to rule on it...starts the Game Drama with the Bears

Yep. But I'm out on all the accusations. Gladewater is good and I will give them their due.......but I do not think they are gonna beat us by any means.

[cowboyandchrist]

This game is to hard to call, Gladewater ground and pound versus Gilmer score in two plays. If the Bears can make some stops on fourth down (Gilmer never punts) they have a chance. If they have to score with Gilmer it will be ball game. These two teams are in my opinion the two best in 4A DII, it is a shame one has to go home this early in the playoffs. I will pick Gilmer only because they have been here so many times in the last ten years. God Bless both teams and pray no injuries. The winner needs to be healthy to win it all.

[cowboyandchrist]

Gilmer should be the favorite, they can score from anywhere on the field. If the Bears can stop Gilmer on fourth down (Gilmer never punts) and control the game with the ground and pound they can win. I think Gladewater will have to score every time they have the ball on long time consuming drives. Gilmer can not afford to get into a low scoring affair with the Bears. Going to be a great ball game between in my opinion the two best teams in 4A DII.

Rope A Dope!! Gilmer has done it many a time..

[Dawgs]

GW is about to dominate Gilmer in the trenches like no other team has all season. Will it be enough, idk. We will see what brand of football is better. I say big, physical, imposing is better. I have seen it win more. People can think what they want to, but this team is just as physical as the Argyle, Kilgore, and Carthage's of the past. Those teams usually have the tools to beat Gilmer, and this one does to. The only difference is GW needs to believe they can beat Gilmer. I think this years team is different. So I'll take the more physical team with a future NFL player in the trenches. GW 34 Gilmer 30.

Gilmer is one of those darling teams that has a lot of mystique. Actually they haven't done it many times. Not recently anyways. Those earlier 2000 teams that's were so good at Gilmer had D1 athletes in the trenches. The 2009 team had Stump Godfrey. Gilmer is awesome no doubt about it. I have a lot of respect for them playing at the level they do year in and year out with the enrollment numbers they have. We in Carthage know about constantly pushing weight, and being expected to win even if the schools have 2 to 3 times your enrollment. But if you go back to say 2010, and look at the teams that beat Gilmer. They have really struggled to beat teams made up exactly like GW. Anybody that knows the makeup of both teams would have to put GW as the favorite. Just my opinion.

This is what I was talking about. Y'all have trained them to lose. These boys grew up getting there yearly beat down. They have the tools, I am sure about that, but do they have the mental game. I know Gilmer does. I will be there to find out. Hate that I won't see Carthage play, but I'll get to cheer for my new bandwagon team the Da Bears!!!

Ha......it will be a one week love affair. Gladewater is narry one bit more physical than us. I've seen them play. They will have the one most physical player on the field but we may have the most dominating players on the field. We have neutralized Mack before......we can do it again.

We will see what happens. I just have this lasting memory of y'all playing Kilgore last year. The recipe is there, and I think they have the tools. We will find out in 6 days. Y'all will not neutralize Mack. Y'all did it last year, but IMO this is a very different team. We actually did a pretty good job of neutralizing him, but that big DE cause a lot of trouble for us after paying such close attention to Mack. And our OL is prolly twice big as y'all's.

Well if Carthage couldn't handle it then there's no way any other team could.

I can count on 1 hand how many times Mack got his hands on our ball carrier last year. It would only take 1 finger to count how many tackles he had. I also remember him saying that Gilmer wouldn't score 21 points on his defense and we had that by the end of the 1st quarter. I know, I know .... It's a new year.

I have no doubt that this Gladewater team is better than last year's. But this Gilmer team is much better as well. I'm not saying it won't be close, but I just don't see Gladewater winning. This game is hyped every year and every year we hear that this is the year they beat us. Every year they leave the stadium with 1 more loss than they had going into it. This year will be no different.

Daylan Mack doesn't scare Gilmer. Nor does anyone else on their team. Gilmer knows they are good. Gilmer knows what they have and what they can do and we will be more than prepared.

All that is left to say ... Is bring it on.

Not sure I understand the comment about Carthage. I simply stated that we did ok neutralizing Mack, and the DE caused a lot of trouble. That DE would be the best player on either of Gilmer's lines. This is the same ol' Gilmer, but not the same Gladewater. You say there is always a lot of hype, but in all my years following East Texas FB I never remember it...ever. Maybe between the 2 schools, but there has never been this much hype in the area over this game. GW is an afterthought every other year. You guys are all getting really touchy cause people are picking GW. You act like people are just picking blindly. All of us that follow ETX closely have seen both. What makes this Gilmer team better than last years team? What makes y'all anymore capable of stopping a power running team this year than last? No need to get defensive I'm just asking. I think the reason you guys are getting your panties in a wad is cause y'all know you are in trouble.

Before we go any further I'll beat you to it... Carthage was down this year, and Gilmer beat us like we stole something. Prolly could have been worse than it was. We were far from Gilmer's level this year.

[poisoned10]

It's only this hyped because it's a playoff game. But being a rivalry game there is always some hype when it comes to Gilmer vs Gladewater.

Why is it if I speak my mind I'm being touchy and have my panties in a wad. But people from outside speak their mind and it's just their opinion? I'm usually more reserved with my posts but just felt like being more open this time around. Doesn't mean I'm worried or think we're in trouble.

You ask what makes this year's Gilmer tema better than last years? The offense is much more explosive. Prior to last nights game, 60% of our TD drives were 3 plays or less. There are 4 or 5 players that legitimately can score every time they touch the ball. Offensively, we don't turn the ball over often and execution and flawless more often than not.

Defensively, we're not built to stop the run, but we can slow it down. Kris Boyd and Blake Lynch are both shut down corners that don't give up big plays and are excellent on defending the pass. No offense to Kilgore, but their passing game was sub par with their #1 QB Gaona and he was able to have a big game against Gladewater's defense.

So let me ask you, what makes this Gladewater team 5 TD improved over Gilmer from last year?

Last year's Argyle team defeated Gladewater rather handily in cold frigid(icy) conditions...which was supposed to favor the style of the Bears that night. This year's Gilmer team is not unlike last season's Argyle team in many aspects. I look for Gilmer to win this one, but I also realize Gladewater this year is much improved over Gladewater last season. Not sure the Mack Attack will have that much control of what Gilmer does offensively. Besides, I have Gilmer meeting Celina in the semis in my bracket. I guess I made my pick back then. :smoker:

In all fairness, Dawgs, this Gladewater team in NO WAY even compares to Kilgore last year. That Kilgore team had an awesome defense, something Gladewater can't match this year. Oh, and did I mention the Buckeyes have a lot more depth this year on both sides of the ball. That's something they definitely didn't have last year, especially against Kilgore when Demarco didn't play a down. The offense this year is a lot better, too.

I don't know for "sure" who will win this game, but my somewhat edumacated guess is that the Buckeyes will be too much for the Bears.

For all you Gladewater fans, and bandwagon fans: GLADEWATER? YOU'RE NEXT!:wave:

I've watched Gladewater play 3 times this year and would put them as a significant underdog against Gilmer, but this is the playoffs and anything can happen. Gladewater only beating Kilgore (a down year Kilgore) by 4 points is very telling on them. I was not at all impressed with their game against Carthage either. Defensively, Carthage seemed to be able to run the ball and the GW pass defense was not a strong point. Only thing that saved Gladewater in that game was the lack of pass catching by Carthage. GW dominated Tatum when the Eagles were struggling with injuries (they are healthy now). Let me know if you want to know what I REALLY think of this Gladewater team, but on the season, I'm not as impressed nor expectant as other posters seem to be.

In all fairness to Gladewater, the week they played Kilgore was the week they lost a teammate in a tragic accident. The Bears did pull it together in the second half of that one. The rest of those games speak for themselves, however, this IS a rivalry game where anything can happen. The thing is this Buckeye team has been looking forward to this matchup just as much as the Bears. Both took care of business to get that chance. Unfortunately, the Bears will meet a very good Buckeye team who is every bit as hungry as they are, and are used to playing the spotlight. This game is where the Buckeyes make their statement, and I believe that statement will be a resounding "NOT THIS YEAR!" I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Oh Lawd......some more gurgling from Snot

[waterboy]

Gladewater will bring it, no doubt about it. There ain't nothing they want worse than to beat their archrival, in the playoffs, nonetheless. Don't be surprised if they don't try a long pass early on. I remember when they did that in '12, and got up on us early. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they tried that again. As a matter of fact, I would bet on it.

This will be the first time the Buckeyes will have been tested in a long while. Adversity is not something they've had to deal with much at all this year. That can be good, or bad. Since game two against Tatum, this Buckeye team has just literally taken care of business by getting up big, and taking the heart right out of the opposition. When you do that to good teams, they start doubting themselves, then they start making uncharacteristic mistakes. I saying all this to say this, the Buckeyes have to come out on fire in all three phases of their game: offense, defense, and special teams. If Gilmer plays like they have been over the past couple of months, i think Gladewater will be in trouble early.

I don't want to upset anymore of my friends from Gilmer. I like all you posters on this site, other than Bob. I will be there at 5 in my Carthage gear looking for a seat. A lot of mention by me and others about the Kilgore game last year. If this game is anywhere close to that one than the spectators will be winners no matter who wins. I pull for underdogs, and for some reason I have a soft spot for GW. I can remember not so long ago what it was like to get no respect. I as a fan hope for an awesome game. Both teams have proven to be legit this season. Really no since on going back and forth, and slinging mud about it. Both have played legit competition, and both have beaten some really good teams. The young men and coaches will settle it on the field. We need both teams to carry the banner for East Texas. Show the state why our area has been so successful at this level. I hope for a competitive, entertaining game. 2 schools from the same county playing in the 3rd round. Pretty cool.

Even though their stadium and high school is located (just barely) in this county, I am almost certain that Gladewater considers itself overwhelmingly to be a Gregg County community. I would, too, if I lived there.

Hey, what about tickets? I have been hearing sold out. I would like to get some tickets so I don't have to wait at the gate. And I am sitting on the GW side...you guys are crazy on the other side!! I am sure this being the first time in a while GW begin good, they will have a lot more room. Prolly where most of the unbiased fans will sit. Man I can still hear those fans last year from both sides at the Kilgore game. I have video on my phone. It was electric. I know Gilmer's fans will be as hyped, but I don't know about GW.

Last year's Kilgore game and the game against Cuero in '09 was the most fun I've had at a game. Both crowds were up and loud the whole game going back and forth.

Gilmer and Cuero fans were even 'battling' before the game. It was awesome!

Oh Snotty your jealousy or hatred or what ever it is goes over the top. A few weeks ago it was Cuero now its Gilmer. I can give a rip where your from or what you think. Folks like you don't bother me. I come on to this site to enjoy football banter, learn about other teams and tout mine. If I didn't believe the Buckeyes would win I would say it. If WE DONT win it won't be the first time our bubble has been burst. I love high school football and if we lose I will still love high school football. I've said it many times and I firmly believe it.......enjoy the ride, no matter how far it takes you. If our journey ends at 12-1 then so be it. Certainly not be the end of the world. We had had dissapointments before and have survived. So carry on with all your spew and we will go play and enjoy our game Friday. Win or lose.......its been a damn fine season. GO BUCKEYES

Only because you guys get so crazy over there! You have to remember I am a Carthage fan. We are quietest fans in ETX. When y'all get to foaming at the mouth and getting ready to tear out the stadium seats I get a little nervous! Seriously I could only wish our fans were a loud and proud as Gilmer's. That is a huge advantage for you guys, huge. From what I saw GW fans are about like Carthage fans. Quiet. Let's see if they get up for this game.

Last year's Kilgore game and the game against Cuero in '09 was the most fun I've had at a game. Both crowds were up and loud the whole game going back and forth.

Gilmer and Cuero fans were even 'battling' before the game. It was awesome!

The atmosphere at the Gilmer/Kilgore game last year was as good as it gets in HS football, IMO. You don't see crowds quite that crazy in the playoffs due to all the anxiety and unfamiliarity with your opponent (usually). You definitely don't get that vibe in Jerry World because it feels more like a TV shoot than a football game when you play there. But a week 10 game between 2 great football teams 30 miles apart with nothing really on the line but bragging rights.... Now that's a football game where you get your money's worth.

Hey, what about tickets? I have been hearing sold out. I would like to get some tickets so I don't have to wait at the gate. And I am sitting on the GW side...you guys are crazy on the other side!! I am sure this being the first time in a while GW begin good, they will have a lot more room. Prolly where most of the unbiased fans will sit. Man I can still hear those fans last year from both sides at the Kilgore game. I have video on my phone. It was electric. I know Gilmer's fans will be as hyped, but I don't know about GW.

You will probably still be able to get tickets at the Gladewater Administration office. They just flat don't pre-sell that many tickets over there, no matter what they might tell you. My Dad went over there 3 times to get our tickets for the Gladewater games we witnessed. If you were at any Gladewater games, and I believe you were, you would know by looking at their home side that they just don't have a large following. Better support than many schools, but not like Gilmer or Carthage or even Tatum. You should probably make sure and get there early in the morning.

2nd best game I have ever been to, and best atmosphere. Carthage Brownwood 10' was an awesome game, but the atmosphere was not quite as electric due to stadium size. That game was played at Midlothian if I remember correctly, and it was to big for the crowd even though both sides were loud. Kilgore stadium was packed last year! Couldn't fit another person in the stands. I hope this game is the same type. That will make for a fun Friday night.

Thanks. I am going to ride over in the morning. I parked in the $20 VIP parking when Gilmer and Carthage played this year. Hopefully they will have that again.

Kincaid! Only thing I can remember is there was some kind of sun or something of that nature on the field or on the press box. I know that sounds funny, but I remember it. Maybe I'm crazy. Lots of playoff games the last 6 or 7 years.

That other site has become a joke, in my opinion. There's no real talk about football at all, and there's nothing civil about the bantering back and forth, either. There are maybe two Gladewater fans over there that could come over here and fit right in, but the rest would probably ruin this site, too.

Looking at this game closer, I just don't see how anybody can compare this year's Gladewater team to Kilgore or Carthage of last year. Yes, offensively, they have the power running game, and have shown some capability to play action pass. The difference, though, to me at least, is on the other side of the ball. Defensively, Gladewater does not even closely resemble the two aforementioned teams from last year. If Gladewater has any chance at all they will have to play above and beyond what they have all year defensively. This is just my opinion, of course.

Glenwood may be happy, but the East Mountaineers, I would say, have never really gotten over it to this day. Check the election returns from that defeated $36 million bond issue this time last year. The EMeers voted it down by a HUGE margin. If just the people living in Gilmer had voted, it would have passed.

I don't think it'll happen, but if the East Mountain area were ever able to "detach" from the Gilmer ISD, all y'all in 4A Division II would be stuck playing the Buckeyes for a LONG time.

If the district remains the same size it is now (a fairly safe bet, considering how hard it is to detach), we might go up to Division I as soon as 2016. I heard from a reliable source that there were actually over 700 enrolled in GHS at the beginning of the 2014 school year.

The Old Timers with old and bitter memories won't be around forever, so the bond will eventually pass, our enrollment will grow a little more and we will be back to competing with Argyle and Carthage and Kilgore and Henderson and Abilene Wylie and Chapel Hill, just the way we like it. :cool:

Great points. My thing is that IMO GW will have the advantage in trenches. Teams have beaten Gilmer recently that are able to dominate in the trenches. No, I don't think GW is as good as any of the teams you mentioned above. They are also not as good as Argyle last year. I guess when I get all the facts it makes me want to rethink my prediction of GW. I still think GW is going to be very successful running the ball an controlling the clock. I am beginning to wonder how GW is going to stop Gilmer from scoring every position. They will definitely need TO. I think Gilmer has turned that around from last season. That is the biggest difference I can see from the last couple of years to this year. That was the difference between a really talented team at Carthage in 2012, to a Championship team in 2013. I think we might be seeing the same thing in Gilmer from 2013 to 2014. I still think the defense had to be better last year with Josh Walker leading it. I didn't see enough in the Carthage game this season to have much of an idea about this year. I just know that kid was a beast. If it comes down to the end, then I guess I will have to go with Traylor. One last comment and I will end this essay...I think both teams have improved from last season. But I think the GW improvement is much more than Gilmer's. And obviously they had a lot more that needed to be improved on. I truly believe this is going to come down to the end. Even though Carthage is out, I am excited to have a game to attend this week.

Don't abandon me now Dawgs... GW still has this! But I can understand your reluctance to commit.... Gladewater had almost the exact same personnel last year (except the HC) and Gilmer blasted them. Gilmer has upgraded since then. I'm still sticking with da Bears though. They just seem to have a lot more swagger, moxie, whatever you want to call it this year.

You can most definitely get away with this crap over there at the other site, but don't bring that crap over here. The moderators over there allow anything if it's against Gilmer. The moderators over here will put you out to pasture quickly.

Again, this site has class, and we would like to keep it that way. A little bantering and smacktalk is just fine, but unsubstantiated allegations will not be tolerated here.

I've crunched some numbers, and unless there are turnovers to factor in, this is the conclusion I've drawn. The Buckeyes should win this by 14 to 21 points.

Aussie, you saw Gladewater play how many times this year? What is your assessment from what you saw?

For all the talk about our "weak" schedule, I see Gladewater's opponents are only at a +4 in wins, and that includes the team they lost to. I've also tabulated the scores of the 5 common opponents between the teams and came up with these numbers:

Gladewater - PF: 218, PA: 72
Gilmer - PF: 295, PA: 86

This includes the Bears playing a Tatum team that was decimated with injuries, and fighting through some internal strife when they met. It also includes some trash TDs for both, but there were more of those kinds of TDs against Gilmer after the game was decided. Make no mistake about it, I know Gladewater is a very good team, but I'm just not seeing them being "better" than Gilmer in any of the different ways I've looked at the matchups. Of course, it is a rivalry, and they will be fired up so anything can happen. If Gilmer takes care of the ball, I see them winning by 14 to 21 points.

[lostaussie]

Only saw them play Tatum. They looked very good. I just think they gonna have to outscore us and I don't think they can. There secondary is very suspect and if we can keep those linemen off us for just a few seconds we gonna be OK. Gladewater will make some plays......we just have to make more or it will be time to go deer hunting:D won't be the first time ya know. I'm pretty confident that our scheme will be successful

Funny story out of Celina that relates to Gilmer...

The Bobcat Team visited the retirement home at lunch today here in Celina. My son is one of them
and as he was telling me stories about the visit he said that there was one lady (probably the most 'with it'
in his words) from Gilmer. He said she was all over them, telling them that Gilmer was going to beat them!

I told him he should have told her we'd be honored to find out!

Good luck this weekend!

Ok Aggie, you are on your own. I do think Gilmer can be beat, but I don't think this GW team is ready to beat a team of this caliber. If they were playing Kilgore or Argyle of last year I would pick those teams just like I did last year. Argyle was so disciplined last year, and a physical team that was dominate in the trenches. Dominate in the trenches, power run game, and disciplined secondary is the recipe to beat Gilmer. Kilgore same thing. Very strong secondary (best in the state), POWER run game, and big in the trenches. While I do think GW has 2 out of the 3, they do not have a disciplined enough secondary. Unless they have improved immensely since we played them (which I am sure they have). Another thing I am thinking. Gilmer has not had to let Boyd and Lynch take over a game. Sure they make big plays, but most of Gilmer games have been such blowouts that they don't even need them after the 1st half. Heck I don't think they have a 1000 yard rusher or receiver. I don't think we have seen all they have yet.

Now I do think that GW is going to score pretty much at will. I think they can slow down Gilmer's rushing attack. So with all that said I look for Gilmer to have success in the air, and get 2 or 3 stops and that will be enough. My main thing is in a game this close give me tradition, experience, Traylor, Boyd, and Lynch. This should be a great game! I'm excited as hell!!

Of course, it is a rivalry, and they will be fired up so anything can happen. If Gilmer takes care of the ball, I see them winning by 14 to 21 points.

I agree.

[waterboy]

Looking a little further into the numbers, at least for Gilmer's defense, out of the 177 points allowed, at least 66 of those points were well after the game was decided, and against 2s and 3s. I don't know about Gladewater, to be honest. Gilmer's defense is not as bad as some seem to think. I know early in the year we gave up some substantial yardage against some potent offenses, but in the last 7 games they haven't given up much at all with the starters in.

What I don't like to see is, the Buckeyes get up by 2 or 3 TDs, then relax for a series or two. They have done that several times this season, but when your offense scores in 1 to 3 plays 60% of the time, they are on the field a LOT. They need to play a full 4 quarters of solid defense in this one to keep any momentum shifts from coming into play. Gladewater is no slouch of a team, for sure. I just think the Buckeyes are better.

[GTownballer]

We will see what happens. I just have this lasting memory of y'all playing Kilgore last year. The recipe is there, and I think they have the tools. We will find out in 6 days. Y'all will not neutralize Mack. Y'all did it last year, but IMO this is a very different team. We actually did a pretty good job of neutralizing him, but that big DE cause a lot of trouble for us after paying such close attention to Mack. And our OL is prolly twice big as y'all's.


I watched both games, had ya'll caught the ball, Carthage would have, got the win, 3 dropped sure enough TD passes, sorry Dawg, but the Gilmer and Carthage game was a no contest, so am I lying, or did you go to the beach that week? lol.....

Ok Aggie, you are on your own. I do think Gilmer can be beat, but I don't think this GW team is ready to beat a team of this caliber. If they were playing Kilgore or Argyle of last year I would pick those teams just like I did last year. Argyle was so disciplined last year, and a physical team that was dominate in the trenches. Dominate in the trenches, power run game, and disciplined secondary is the recipe to beat Gilmer. Kilgore same thing. Very strong secondary (best in the state), POWER run game, and big in the trenches. While I do think GW has 2 out of the 3, they do not have a disciplined enough secondary. Unless they have improved immensely since we played them (which I am sure they have). Another thing I am thinking. Gilmer has not had to let Boyd and Lynch take over a game. Sure they make big plays, but most of Gilmer games have been such blowouts that they don't even need them after the 1st half. Heck I don't think they have a 1000 yard rusher or receiver. I don't think we have seen all they have yet.

Now I do think that GW is going to score pretty much at will. I think they can slow down Gilmer's rushing attack. So with all that said I look for Gilmer to have success in the air, and get 2 or 3 stops and that will be enough. My main thing is in a game this close give me tradition, experience, Traylor, Boyd, and Lynch. This should be a great game! I'm excited as hell!!

No I was there for both. We played a lot better against GW. No, let me rephrase. We didn't give GW 21 points in the first 5 minutes. Carthage was in no way ready for that stage at Lobo Stadium against the Bucks. Game was a no contest. Please before we go any further do not give me anything about forced turnovers. None of the 3 were by any means forced. They were given. I will agree many turnovers are forced, but those were not. Now, Carthage was having success in the first 2 drives against the Bucks driving down the field with ease before we dropped the ball on the ground twice. It doesn't matter, both beat Carthage handily. The young Dawgs were no match for either this year. But we were pushing you guys around up front. We did not push GW around. That's all I know.

None if this means anything. This is going to be a heck of a game.

The pic 6 was right to the guy. Our QB made a bonehead play getting stripped in a QB sneak after he had gained 10 yards. A guy catches the ball, makes a football move and drops the ball on the ground. I don't care to watch a replay. I was there. It has absolutely nothing to do with this game. I have no desire to rehash the Gilmer Carthage game. Not our best moment. Gilmer made plays Carthage did not. I wouldn't hang my hat on beating Carthage this season. 6 teams did it.

I am a buck fan in the playoffs, but I would ease up a bit on the Dawg poster, you have to play a whole different Dawg team next year and it could be a donkey stomp again except in the Dawgs favor. You have to admit the 19 brand new starters in the third game of the year played right into the hands of a very experienced and great Buckeye team. Sorry for changing the subject.

Im not saying anything close to this. I have said several time Gilmer took advantage. In no way did Carthage give the game to Gilmer. Gilmer spanked us worse than we been spanked in a long time. Again for the 2nd time I don't care to rehash the Carthage Gilmer game. Do I think those were unforced "gifts" to a great Gilmer team, yes. Did Gilmer take full advantage the way most teams would not, yes. End of story. Bob, I really wish you had better comprehensive skills.

Thinking a little outside the box here.... but if I'm GW, I'd think about making Mack a situational player on defense in this one and giving him about 30 carries on offense. I just think he could have a whole lot bigger impact from the FB position than at DT, given Gilmer's style of offense. We'll see.

GW the better team in the 1st half.

I agree. Gilmer came out playing on emotions while Gladewater came out playing focused. A few mistakes and uncharacteristic dropped passes have really hurt Gilmer.

However, to be outplayed in the 1st half and go into halftime tied is good for Gilmer. I expect a more focused Gilmer squad to come out at halftime and put a little more pressure on Gladewater's offense.

It won't be by as much as I originally thought/hoped, but I still believe Gilmer pulls out the win.

Go Buckeyes!

Now some of them are posting on the other site how ridiculous they feel for leaving with 2 min. to play.

On edit: This reminded me of last year's game against Argyle. Bears seemed to be going downhill and Bux going uphill most of the night. The difference is that Argyle knows how to put teams away. You don't let Gilmer hang around. Argyle is the only team I've seen consistently deal with that and deliver the death blow.

After I thought Mack had the 1st down, I got my wife up and told her lets walk to the top. We were below the band on the GW side. Lucky there was some standing room. I thought Mack picked up the 1st down. Game of inches.

[Aesculus gilmus]

The crowd was too large for Lobo Stadium. It was almost an unsafe environment. I had heard earlier in the week that our coach had wanted to play it at SFA. I don't know whether that's true or not.

With gas prices as cheap as they are and it being on a holiday weekend, this would've made perfect sense and there would have been plenty of room for everyone who wanted to attend.

I do understand having the game in close proximity to the two schools, but it was known in advance that this was going to be an unmanageable crowd.

Tremendous energy and atmosphere. Gladewater should have won, but in the playoffs, anything can happen and it did. The Bears are a brutal team that executes like a machine and they were a very tough out. Rivalry games like this one tonight are usually close and hard fought and it did not disappoint. I'm still in shock like fans on both sides ... can't believe Gilmer won, can't believe Gladewater lost.

I don't know anything about either. I was just messing around. All the teams left can beat all the teams left I am sure.

But now that you say something, how do you know either will give Gilmer all they want? Have you seen any of the 3 play? You don't know who will give who all they want.

Speed is not the issue with Celina and never has been. It's a very big misconception with the East Texas brethren. Celina plays a high risk high reward defense. They load the box and play man up with pressure. If you get passed the box you are going to have a huge gain or a td. If you can't get through the box or off the pressure from the db's it's very rewarding. A few East Texas teams such as Daingerfield and Henderson were able to get through and off the pressure.

One more thing and I'll let it lie. Gilmer HC on field antics are disgusting. I had forgotten how bad it was. Y'all can say what you want, but deep down you know. One of the reasons Gilmer is the most hated team in ETX. It's a shame too, cause y'all have awesome kids year in and year out.

What a hatter you are...if you don't like the Bux, quit looking at them

[buckeyebob]

Fans around me were leaving in droves even though the game was still in reach. I didn't much think Gilmer was going to win, but it was by no means decided yet.

Now some of them are posting on the other site how ridiculous they feel for leaving with 2 min. to play.

On edit: This reminded me of last year's game against Argyle. Bears seemed to be going downhill and Bux going uphill most of the night. The difference is that Argyle knows how to put teams away. You don't let Gilmer hang around. Argyle is the only team I've seen consistently deal with that and deliver the death blow.

Gladewater had their chance & did not take the play...the Bux never gave up & took the game from them...that is why we play the game

[buckeyebob]

The crowd was too large for Lobo Stadium. It was almost an unsafe environment. I had heard earlier in the week that our coach had wanted to play it at SFA. I don't know whether that's true or not.

With gas prices as cheap as they are and it being on a holiday weekend, this would've made perfect sense and there would have been plenty of room for everyone who wanted to attend.

I do understand having the game in close proximity to the two schools, but it was known in advance that this was going to be an unmanageable crowd.

Gladewater's pick...Jeff lost the toss...worst tosser I have ever seen...the Visitors side really sucked...restrooms backed up...the North side had ONE (1) worker in the snack bar, TWO(2) in the South...friend of ours stood in the line for 1-1/2Hrs...I am making phone calls Monday because we gotta go back Friday

Hollywood knows what he talks about...Dawg knows not...he likes to hate on any team that is successful against the Carthrage Bulldogs...he thinks that when your guy strips the ball from his Dawg, the Dawg said "here, take this ball & run with it"...when his own QB throws an interception, it was a "bonehead play" & they "gave " the ball to the opposition...typical hater

You would think Gilmer would have more state titles then they do...What with all the "move ins and transfers" ...lol... Kinne/Tuminillo and such like. Gilmer only has two piddly ole titles. Boy, Liberty hill and Navasota spanked their hinnies good in the finals. Navasota made em look slow and average. 39-3 was the final in that one lol

I'm happy with what Gilmer has done over the last 14 or 15 years since Jeff has been at Gilmer.

Gilmer has won more games than any other team in 4A and has 4 state championship appearances while winning 2 of them. There are plenty of teams out there that would love to be able to say that about themselves.

Lots of haters out there. I remember when Celina was the most hated........I envied that. Its a good day to be a BUCKEYE. I'll leave it at that

[Wonkas_Willy]

Nobody is hatin - yall just don't win state titles equal to the amount of talent yall have. Its almost like Desoto except unlike Desoto yall have at least won 2 ( to your credit) where they cant. Still yall leave a lot on the table but you are dang sure right...Yall get the title for the best regular season/district winning % out there

I listened to the end of the game last night and that was a heck of a finish! Congrats! There is still a maybe Celina and Gilmer meet in 2 weeks. But right now both teams still have work to do.:2thumbsup

[lostaussie]

Its the games you think you should win and don't that bother you the most. Nav and LH were both better than us on those given years......I can live with that. Lots of teams would have loved to have been in our shoes.

Who is your team? How many times have they been to the state game, lately or otherwise? Sounds pretty hateful!

I hear ya Bobcat. Actually I'm still trying to catch my breath. First time I ever shed a tear at a dang football game.

[Wonkas_Willy]

Argyle, Allen, and Aledo

[Bullaholic]

Congrats to both teams for a great game of East-Texas football, and to a tough and talented Gladewater team for a great season, but especially the Buckeyes---you stood a tough test and won---that is what those who win SC's do, and you proved you belong in that elite group last night.

[Wonkas_Willy]

Sounds hateful? No hate intended...Stop being so dadgum sensitive, what are you some sorta Oprah watcher or something?

[lostaussie]

Argyle, Allen, and Aledo

Hell its easy to be a t- shirt fan.

[RPF2666]

Indeed... congratulations to Gilmer on getting the result... how you got it is just a side bar...
