2A D1 State Championship: Canadian (15-0) vs Refugio (13-2)

[hollywood]

A lot of talk about this game on other forums. Who ya got?


Both are very talented and could hang with many 3A and even some 4A teams... So they say.


I got Canadian by 14

[Rabid Cougar]

The Canadians by a lot.

[slingshot]

Canadian by 21 or more points... this one could get ugly. Karma is a B____. You can fill in the blanks...

[Bull Butter]

I'm from South Texas and love me some Refugio but let's be real here. Canadian wins by 28

[bobcat1]

Canadian by all they want.

[rb585]

So far, Canadian has a legit argument for best small-class team in Texas history.

[jp744]

Canadian with the back to back SC in football and basketball again.

[d0tc0m]

So far, Canadian has a legit argument for best small-class team in Texas history.

They could certainly get in on that argument. There are some Celina teams, particularly the 2005 2A state champs, that would have something to say about that, though.

[Tink4392]

Canadian by as much as they want! IMO they have one of the best Qbs in the state! Sad to see that he is not recruited by bigger schools bc of what classification he plays in.

[rb585]

They could certainly get in on that argument. There are some Celina teams, particularly the 2005 2A state champs, that would have something to say about that, though.

Yeah, but I'm talking the real 1A teams. (I really hate the UIL for changing the classifications sooooooooooooooooo much.)

I suppose the David Overstreet Big Sandy teams would be the standard.

[XX Man]

This ought to be a battle

[lostaussie]

Along with Love Smith and Bobby Mitchell. That was Class B and 3 amazing years!!!

[LionFan72]

Canadian till they quit wanting to, just simply in another class!

[hollywood]

Just about 3 hours until the kickoff of this game and the entire weekend of TXHS Football State Championship games. Love this time of year!

[Saggy Aggie]

I don't know much about Canadian. What makes them special?

[Rabid Cougar]

I don't know much about Canadian. What makes them special?

They win?

[Saggy Aggie]

They win?
Refugio wins as consistently as anyone... But apparently they have no chance...

[waterboy]

Are they not live streaming on Fox Sports Southwest without the "Go" app?

[regaleagle]

Canadian gets a PICK 6 to start the game on a bubble screen by Refugio.

[regaleagle]

Looks like Canadian has a very good defense, but so does Refugio. This game should be a real battle between these 2 Perennial Winners.

[regaleagle]

Refugio fans didn't have that far to travel this season, but Canadian fans have never driven further to watch their boyz play.:1popcorn:

[lostaussie]

Please keep updates for the working class folk:D

[Roughneck93]

Dang, huge fumble recovery by Canadian.

[regaleagle]

Refugio fumbles on a run inside the 15 and Canadian recovers on their own 10 to stop the scoring drive.

[regaleagle]

Refugio holds and Canadian must punt from the end zone. 14 yd return and Refugio has great field position again just outside the Wildcat 20 yd line.

[Dogs_21]

Any way to watch this game online?

[regaleagle]

Completion on 3rd and 14 for 13 yds down to the 14. 4th and a yard

[regaleagle]

First down Bobcats at the 11 yd line.

[regaleagle]

QB keeper to the 10 now on first down for Refugio.

[regaleagle]

Down to the 5 on 2nd down.

[regaleagle]

3rd down to the 4. Need the 2 for another first down.

[regaleagle]

4th and 1 or 1.5 for a first.

[Sweetwater Red]

Any way to watch this game online?

[regaleagle]

They are on the 3 yd line. Timeout Bobcats. Actually almost 2 yds for a first and about 4 yds for a TD. Looks like Coach Herring will let the first quarter clock run out.

Canadian 7
Refugio 0

End of 1st

Refugio threatening on the 4 yd line with a 4th and almost 2 for a firstdown.

[regaleagle]

Firstdown on the middle dive run.

[Roughneck93]

Bobcats need to punch this in....

[regaleagle]

QB keeper by Perez is ruled a TD after he was stopped initially, then kept driving for the TD. PAT is good. Tie Game.

[Roughneck93]

There it is, all tied up.

[regaleagle]

Good game so far.

[regaleagle]

Looks like two heavyweights going at it with their power.

[regaleagle]

Canadian starts at their own 36 now.

[regaleagle]

Canadian averaging 55 pts this season.

[regaleagle]

First down on that pass play by a Wildcat receiver in tight coverage.

[regaleagle]

Bobcat defenders all over these Canadian receivers so far.

[regaleagle]

3rd and 10 pass for just enough for another Wildcat first down.

[Roughneck93]

Canadian offense wakes up.

[regaleagle]

Shaeffer over the middle hits Cook at at the 15 and he takes it in for another Canadian TD. PAT is good. Shaeffer strikes quickly over the middle with a laser throw.

Canadian 14
Refugio 7

[Dogs_21]

it's not showing it and I'm logged on to my account and everything.

[regaleagle]

Refugio starts at their 34 after the pooch kickoff.

[regaleagle]

Long pass is just overthrown to an open receiver.

[regaleagle]

Movement against Refugio. Now 3rd and 10.

[regaleagle]

Canadian holds.....Bobcats will be forced to punt.

[regaleagle]

Returned to the 30 yd line of Canadian. Shafer behind center again for the Wildcats.

[regaleagle]

What an arm the Canadian qb has to get those throws in very tight coverage.

[Sweetwater Red]

it's not showing it and I'm logged on to my account and everything.

No idea. Streaming fine here. like watching on my tv at home.

[Dogs_21]

Once I log in I can't find it.

[regaleagle]

False start Canadian. 2nd down from tier 41. Shafer is sacked by the Bobcat D .

[Sweetwater Red]

Once I log in I can't find it.

you have to toggle the screen options.

[regaleagle]

Option pitch to Cook gets good yardage of 18 yds on that 3rd and 21. They will go for it at midfield. Timeout by Canadian here.

[regaleagle]

Candian punts it down to the Bobcat 18. Refugio holds and starts now.

[regaleagle]

No gain on first on that keeper.

[regaleagle]

Refugio qb has all day but all receivers covered so he outruns the 3 rushers for a Bobcat first on a 13 yd pickup.

[regaleagle]

Massaro throws it just beyond his open receiver on that deep pass. Massaro is 6-2, 250 pounder with a very strong arm. He's a big boy, folks.

[Roughneck93]

That's the third wide open WR for Refugio that's been overthrown so far....

[regaleagle]

Looks to me like this game will be hard-fought to the finish.

[Phil C]

Must be a good game. Please keep the updates coming. And Thank You.

[regaleagle]

Canadian defense gets Massaro for a loss on that roll out to the left.

[regaleagle]

Wildcat gets another loss on the Bobcats on that misdirection. Bobcats punt it 41 yds to the Canadian 36.

[regaleagle]

Canadian D is tough so far. Bobcats having trouble moving the chains. Need to hit some of those longer passes. The coverage on the shorter ones is tight.

[regaleagle]

Canadian starts now as Shafer hits hit motion back for a first down sideline pass/run.

[Roughneck93]

Canadian made that look easy.

[regaleagle]

2nd and 9 gets another first down on that sideline throw by Shafer. Shafer is 6-4, 185 lbs and his is a big guy. Now he keeps it for another Wildcat TD. 2-time All-Stater scores on that scramble.
Canadian 21
Refugio 7

5 plays 66 yds.

[regaleagle]

Canadian has a quick-strike offense, for sure.

[regaleagle]

Refugio starts at their own 20 after that kickoff by the Wildcats.

[regaleagle]

Massaro tripped up at the 25 on that keeper outside.

[regaleagle]

3rd and 5 now for the Bobcats.

[Roughneck93]

Canadian defense playing well.

[regaleagle]

Massaro has all day and cannot pull the trigger as he is thrown for a big loss and must punt again on that sack of 10 yds.

[Roughneck93]

1:46 left until the half, plenty of time for the Canadian offense....

[Roughneck93]

Wow, punt was kicked into one of the lineman....14-yard punt.

[regaleagle]

Punting from their own 5 yd line will give Canadian excellent field position. The punt hits a backer and travels only 14 yds.

[regaleagle]

Wildcats start at the Bobcat 27 on a throwback pass for 6 yds on 1st.

[regaleagle]

Shafer hits another pass for 11 yds. Now Shafer on the keeper to the 2 yd line. Clock running with 56 secs. left in the half.

[regaleagle]

Wildcat RB popped at the 2 and another timeout called by Canadian with 21 secs. to the half.

[Roughneck93]

Wildcats pulling away....

[regaleagle]

3rd and 2 for Canadian. Shafer under center and fakes the handoff, pitches on an end around for the score. Kick is good on the PAT.

Canadian 28
Refugio 7

14 secs to halftime

The miscued punt gave Canadian excellent field position.

[Roughneck93]

Another turnover by Refugio....

[regaleagle]

Bobcat backer fumbles kickoff and Canadian recovers with 5 secs left.

[regaleagle]

Heredia hits 25 yd field goal attempt from the 15 as time expires for the half. Nightmare at NRG for the Bobcats here in the 2nd quarter.

Canadian 31
Refugio 7

Halftime

[Sweetwater Red]

Complete mismatch - turning it off and will check back in the fourth.

[Phil C]

Thank you for the updates everyone.

[regaleagle]

Tanner Shafer is THE MAN for Canadian and their defense is shutting down the Bobcat attack.

[regaleagle]

Four turnovers by the Bobcats in the first half leads to 17 pts in the first half for Canadian.

[44INAROW]

Four turnovers by the Bobcats in the first half leads to 17 pts in the first half for Canadian.

Holy Moly - I was halfway watching/listening here at the office - and it was 14-7 - I got busy with a client and just now checked back in and it's 31-7 yikes..

[regaleagle]

Refugio returns the 2nd half kickoff to the Bobcat 37. Pass on 1st good for 14yds.

[regaleagle]

At midfield Massaro runs it to the 45 of Canadian as he is flushed out of the pocket. Pass is now complete on the sideline to the Wildcat 35 good for 14 yds.

[regaleagle]

Massaro scrambles to the 15 but a flag down. Bobcats called for holding. Still 2nd down back to the 26 yd line. Holding occurred downfield. 2nd and 10. Sacked at the 33 yd line now.

[Roughneck93]

Another turnover....

[regaleagle]

3rd and a looong way for the Bobcats now. Deep pass to the goalline is intercepted and the ball will come out on the interception in the end zone.

[regaleagle]

Refugio will need some stops here in the 3rd and 4th quarters or else.

[Roughneck93]

This one is about to get ugly.

[regaleagle]

Shafer hits a long one downfield to the Bobcat 20 now for a 44 yd pass play. Now they are down to the 10 on that run by Cook for 11 yds.

[Roughneck93]

The rout is on....

[regaleagle]

TD pass from Shafer to Copely for 11 yds. Just that fast its another quick drive. 5 plays 81 yds in 1:08 Kick is good.

AIR CANADA 38
Deflated Refugio 7

[regaleagle]

Refugio is just outmatched by this Canadian team.....they are excellent in all phases.

[Roughneck93]

15-yard punt by Refugio....

[regaleagle]

Wildcat D is just shut-down good. They are rushing only 3 and still able to get sacks because the Bobcat qb cannot pull the trigger, even when he has all day. He isn't able to hit the long ball.

[regaleagle]

Shafer is able to hit his passes with great accuracy and arm strength.

[Roughneck93]

Wow, 46-yard FG is good....

[regaleagle]

Heredia from Mexico hits a 46 yd field goal for Air Canada and has plenty of leg. He is a lefty when he kicks.....what a weapon he is!!

[Roughneck93]

Refugio answers....

[Roughneck93]

Refugio recovers onside kick.

[Roughneck93]

Refugio throws another pick....

41-13, 3:37 3rd.

[Roughneck93]

Canadian TD....

48-13

[Dawgs]

Really impressed with Canadian. Those boys can play! Both teams are stacked it looks like on TV.

[regaleagle]

Total beatdown as most fans want verses this controversial Refugio coach.....not the players.

[Roughneck93]

Another turnover....

[Roughneck93]

Nice run by Cook, dragging Refugio players down the field.

[Roughneck93]

Another Canadian TD....

[regaleagle]

Wow, Roughneck.....this Canadian Wildcat team could give a ton of 4A schools all they could handle.

[Phil C]

Wow, Roughneck.....this Canadian Wildcat team could give a ton of 4A schools all they could handle.

Maybe even 6A.

[Phil C]

What is score?

[waterboy]

55-13

[Phil C]

Thank you. Is it over?

[Sweetwater Red]

We want Canadian's kicker.

[Roughneck93]

Thank you. Is it over?

61-20

1:11 4th

[Roughneck93]

61-20

Final

[ronwx5x]

Gotta like those 2A kids. Biggest thing that ever happened to them and they can watch it over and over. My best guess is that if I met Jerry Herring in person he would be a likable guy. His kids may be a little emotional but they have proven they can play some football.

[44INAROW]

Thank you. Is it over?

I'm afraid this game have been over since the end of the 2nd QTR - dayum.....

[Sweetwater Red]

I'm afraid this game have been over since the end of the 2nd QTR - dayum.....

Indeed

[Phil C]

I'm afraid this game have been over since the end of the 2nd QTR - dayum.....

If Refugio could have completed those wide open long passes the score would have been much closer say 61-52.

[teetle]
