Sanger Indians(5-2; 2-0) @ Argyle Eagles(6-0; 2-0)

[regaleagle]

The Sanger Indians are much better than their record shows with two losses this season, folks. They lost to a very good Denton High Broncos(7-1) 5A team and the high-flying new 4A Midlothian Heritage Jaguars(6-1) who just defeated a very stout Alvarado Indians team. Make no mistake about it......this year's Sanger Indians is better than last year's and perhaps their best team in many years. QB CJ Jackson is now a junior, RB/receiver/returner/Free Safety Peyton Howard, senior, is a real threat anytime he has the ball. And he's one of their leading tacklers on defense. They have an O-Line bigger than Argyle's and their D-line is also much bigger.......they have some beef. But this beef is not slow and overgrown.....it's big and strong. Argyle better be ready for a very physical game in the trenches, but also a speedy team with athletes that can make the plays. This Sanger team has lots of talent on both sides of the ball. I will not be surprised to see a very high-scoring game for the district championship in this one. I think Argyle will have to outscore Sanger in a shootout....I just don't see the Eagles shutting down this Sanger offensive attack. Regardless, both teams will be a force in the playoffs and both teams should only improve as the season goes forward. Decatur had a very good offense, but Sanger has both a good offense AND a good defense, AND a good kicking game. They also have depth, speed, and talent at the skill positions. The Argyle Eagles better get ready to........RUUUUUMMMMMBLLLLLLEEEEE!!!!

[regaleagle]

In other words......IMHO the Sanger Indians are a very good football team that should not be overlooked. I think they are underrated because of their 2 losses, but this team is very dangerous. They will play hard every play and never quit. This is a team that has the ability to win late.

[regaleagle]

Besides......they want to beat Argyle more than anything else. OOPS.......I hope the Eagles players are reading this. Sanger runs a balanced attack like Argyle does......averaging 195 yds rushing and 192 yds passing. Just to compare......Argyle's numbers are 196 yds rushing and 222 yds passing per game so far.


BTW>>> Argyle's kicking game has finally come to fruition. Dylan Sadler hit a 50 yd field goal against Decatur a couple of games ago and is kicking touchbacks on kickoffs.

[bobcat1]

Argyle by 30+

[LionFan72]

Argyle 34+.

[slingshot]

Argyle 48-24.

[regaleagle]

Well heck, fellas.......y'all don't have much respect for those Sanger Indians do ya??? I think you will see a very good team on Friday night in Eagles Stadium playing against our Eagles. Don't be surprised by a much closer score......just sayin'.

[Celina8]

Regal you have yelled wolf to many times but if Argyle beats them less than 30+ it is not because Sanger was that good but that Argyle was resting up for the playoffs.

[regaleagle]

Ledford and the Boyz don't need no rest......they've only played 6 games so far. They need more work, not less......especially Ledford. :taunt::evilgrin::1popcorn:

[5wide]

Decatur lost to Midlothian Heritage 52-50, on a last second field goal. Heritage beat Sanger 45-19. Decatur beat Bridgeport by 63-7 Sanger beat Bridgeport 38-3. Argyle beat Decatur 64-35. Now, comparing common opponents doesn't always indicate how future games turn out but knowing this, I'll go with Argyle by a comfortable margin. Sanger will bring all they got, they def want this win. Good luck to both.

[5wide]

Also, Sanger allowed 41 points to WF Hirschi. Decatur's D only allowed 21 to Hirschi.

[regaleagle]

One week at a time and every game stands on its own. Each team has a different set of players against another set, and each week brings another set of tests. Overconfidence is the downfall of all undefeateds......until they are defeated. A healthy dose of respect goes a long way on gameday. Anybody wanna add another one???

[SBSlackers]

Sanger has not been the same team since the 2nd half of the Bridgeport game. Struggled against Heritage, got saved by a lightning storm vs Hirschi, and were unfathomably trailing to a winless Burkburnett team at halftime. This team SHOULD be much better than last year's Indians team but for some reason, the last 14 quarters have been extremely sloppy. Penalties, turnovers, poor defensive decisions...all factors that typically add up to an Argyle blowout. As much as I would love to see a competitive game, I just don't think this is Sanger's year...again.

[canno]

Argyle 49-21

[Wayne]

45-28 Argyle

[d0tc0m]

I can't find one aspect of this matchup that favors Sanger. Long night for the Indians. Argyle is getting better each week. They've found ways to win defensive battles, offensive shootouts and everything in between. They roll again this week, BIG. Eagles have turned into my pick to win it all in Div. I come December.

[waterboy]

Who you kiddin', regal? I know you want to give your opponent their due respect just in case the game is closer than expected, but if Argyle plays like they're capable, it won't matter what Sanger does. It won't be nearly enough.

Now, if the Eagles revert back to making a lot of mistakes, this game could be a "little" closer than expected, but I highly doubt that'll happen in Week 9. I'll admit I haven't been keeping up with Argyle this year, except for the scores. What are the things that have kept Argyle from being even better, i.e. turnovers, penalties, porous defense at times, poor execution on offense at times, special teams, etc.?

[Eagle Nation]

Waterboy, you listed an issue but they have been improving each week.

Lefts go Eagles!

[slingshot]

Already looking ahead (I know, I know... never look ahead and be careful what you wish for, etc, etc) to a likely 3rd round playoff matchup between Wylie and Argyle. Will be the first tough game for both since early in the season and should be a great one.

who are AWs likely opponents in the playoffs before round 3?

[SBSlackers]

who are AWs likely opponents in the playoffs before round 3?

Should be Wichita Falls Hirschi in Round 1, looks like Clint (2nd in District 2) /Pampa (3rd in District 1) winner in Round 2. WF Hirschi may be the best of those 3 teams. Hirschi is very athletic but small. I wouldn't be surprised if their RB Roman Turner is the fastest kid in District 4. AW shouldn't be seriously tested until Round 3.

[slingshot]

Neither should Argyle...

[Eagle Nation]

Slingshot, some Sanger fans are trying to say that Argyle will be the team with less talent on the field tonight.

Hopes and temperatures seem to increase closer to gametime at Eagles stadium......nothing new, LOL. Sanger does have some talented players on their side of the fence......but I'm not sure the talent pool is greater than Argyle's. We shall see shortly.

[regaleagle]

Argyle wins the toss and Ledford says Argyle will take the ball first. It's a pink-out night in this game tonite at Eagles Stadium in tribute to Breast Cancer. The National Anthem is being played by the Argyle Band. Sanger in red and white jerseys with purple helmets tonite.

[regaleagle]

A nice cool night to play some Texas high school football all over the state tonight....very comfortable. Should be a good game in Argyle tonite between these two games.....usually a very spirited game between these two teams.

[regaleagle]

Kick bounces and Carter picks it up and returns it to the Argyle 40.

[regaleagle]

Gain of a couple of yards on that first down run.

[regaleagle]

Ledford to Cale Nanny on a laser to the sideline for a firstdown at the Sanger 47. Ledford keeps it for a yard gain at the sideline.

[regaleagle]

Don Williams gets a big hole down to the 21 yd line on that run.

[regaleagle]

Handoff to Williams again off right tackle and a big hole on a pancake block but a flag is down. That was a huge hole. Block in the back against Argyle.....a receiver that was totally unneccessary. 15 yd penalty was a big break there for Sanger.

[regaleagle]

2nd and 11 after a 4 yd gain on first after the penalty. Now a run by Estrada but a flag is down. Offsides Sanger.

[regaleagle]

2nd and 7 at the Sanger 18......Ledford pumps, scrambles, throws at the pilon to Estrada but it is imcomplete. 3rd and 7 now. If Ledford would have just kept it, he probably could have run it in.

[regaleagle]

Pass to Harper for only a yard. Field goal by Dylan Sadler good for 38 yds and an Argyle score to open the game.

Argyle 3
Sanger's turn now.

[regaleagle]

Sadler will kick it away now.....it's a touchback. Sanger begins on their own 25 yd. line. CJ Jackson at qb for Sanger. He hands it off to Moser up to the 31 for a gain of 6.

[regaleagle]

Now Jackson overthrows his reciever deep as 2 flags come out. Defensive holding called against Argyle....Sanger first down on the penalty out to near midfield......the 43.

[regaleagle]

Jackson loses a yard on that keeper. Now a handoff to Moser for only a yard gain.

[regaleagle]

A throwback to Moser on a screen pass, sidesteps the tackle and takes it down for a first down. Now Jackson throws deep downfield but Gage Campbell is there to break it up. A really good throw by Jackson on that deep throw.

[regaleagle]

Now Jackson keeps it down to the 24 of Argyle for another first down. Jackson has great speed.

[regaleagle]

A long throw downfield into the endzone as Robin Smith(6-4) brings it in against the shorter Dixon for a one hand grab and a Sanger TD. Dixon had him covered, but just a great pass and catch. The kick is good. Impressive drive by Sanger.

Sanger 7
Argyle 3

[regaleagle]

Sanger has great speed and talent on the offensive side, as well as a big line that is pushing back the Argyle defensive line on that series. A high kickoff is fair caught by Argyle at their 28 yd line.

[regaleagle]

Ledford to Estrada on a 7 yd run on first down.

[regaleagle]

Ledford hands off to Williams but no gain on the sideline. The speed of Sanger is showing itself. Now a pass to Williams in the right flat on that Sanger blitz as he takes it downfield to the 50 for a first down.

[regaleagle]

A beautiful deep pass to Derek Carter for an Eagle TD. He was covered but the pass and catch was basically undefendable. Kick is good by Sadler. 2 minute drive for the Eagles.

Argyle 10
Sanger 7

[regaleagle]

Another touchback by Sadler on that kickoff. Sanger at their own 25. A pass to midfield to Smith by Jackson and Sadler makes the tackle at the Argyle 48. Now Moser is dropped for a 2 yd loss.

[regaleagle]

Moser dropped after a 2 yd gain in the middle by the linebacker for Argyle. 3rd and 9 for Sanger at the Argyle 47. Long pass at the sideline as Gage Campbell leaps and gets it for the interception, but the ground causes him to lose it as he hits the ground. Here comes to the punt by Martinez. Sadler takes it from the 8 down to the 24 yd line on that rugby style punt.

[regaleagle]

Ledford on a keeper for 4 yds to the Argyle 28 on first down.

[regaleagle]

High snap as Ledford loses it and jumps on it at the 20 yd line for a big loss. 3rd and 14 for Argyle. Blitz is not picked up and Ledford is dropped at the 5 yd line. Argyle will punt 8 yds deep in the Argyle endzone. Argyle will get excellent field position. End of first quarter before the punt.
Argyle 10
Sanger 7
End of 1st

[regaleagle]

I tried to warn people about this Sanger team.....but nobody wanted to listen to me.

[regaleagle]

Dillon Carter punts it rugby style as it is downed at the Argyle 43 yd line. Sanger takes over.

[regaleagle]

Jackson on a keeper to the Argyle 36.....good gain on first down for Sanger. 2nd and 4 now as Moser gets a hole and runs it for a TD. He has 4.4 speed and is gone as he hits the hole. Kick is good.

Sanger 14

[regaleagle]

Another flag down....illegal procedure against Sanger before the snap.

[regaleagle]

Pennington drops Jackson for a loss on 2nd and 10. Now and 3rd and goal from the 14. Pass to Moser on a screen is hit hard at the 8 yd line and Sanger will be forced to kick a field goal. Martinez kick is wide right on a line drive kick.....maybe a hand on the ball. Argyle defense turns Sanger away and a big series is thwarted. Timeout Sanger now before the snap as Argyle takes over on its own 14 yd line.

[regaleagle]

[regaleagle]

Imcomplete pass by Ledford. 3rd and 6 from the Argyle 24. Play action screen pass to Derek Carter for a first down to the 33.

[regaleagle]

Pass to Cale Nanny on a one-handed grab for another first down.

[regaleagle]

another pass to Nanny as it falls incomplete......he should have caught it. Now here's goes Williams all the way down to the Sanger 21 as he is slammed to the turf and the ball comes out. Ground caused the fumble. 1st down Argyle. Chase Estrada to the 18 on a big hit by Hunter.

[regaleagle]

Handoff to Dillon Carter down to the 14 yd line and another big collision. 3rd and 2 from the 12. Now Carter is in the end zone untouched but a flag down. They are calling a flag on Cale Nanny on that block. His hands were too extended on that block. 3rd and 3 all over again. Now again Carter runs it in untouched and flags down well after the play.

[regaleagle]

Lots of chippiness going on out there now. The play will count....something after the play. Offsetting personal fouls after the play is the call. Dillon Carter has lots of speed....he can qb, rb, return kicks, kick and punt....He's only a soph.

[regaleagle]

Sadler's extra point is good.

Argyle 17
Sanger 14

We've got a shoot out going on folks.....just like I called it.

[regaleagle]

Sadler's kick bounces at the one and goes out of endzone for a touchback. Sanger starts at their own 25 again.

[regaleagle]

Jackson fakes the handoff and keeps it out to the 31.....he's a good qb.

[regaleagle]

Offsides by the Argyle noseguard. First down Sanger. Now a laser to Smith at the 40 yd line against Dixon. Nobody can catch that high ball but Smith. Now a late fumble on that end around as he is hit hard by Haden Mouser. Mouser whacked him and the ball is coughed up. John Phillips recovers it for Argyle.

[regaleagle]

2nd and 4 for Argyle at the 44. Looks like Sanger jumped offsides, but no flag as Williams gets a first down at the 41 for Argyle.

[regaleagle]

Ledford to Nanny for 9 yds on that pass play.

[regaleagle]

Don Williams loses his feet on that cutback close to the first down. 3rd and just shy of the first down. Now another high snap over Ledford as he bobbles it....Williams tries to recover it but Sanger gets on it for a big turnover.

[regaleagle]

Jackson on a keeper for 2 yds. From their own 38. Now Jackson takes a hit by John Phillips for a loss.

[regaleagle]

3rd and 14 as Sanger throws a screen to Moser as he is hit right at the sideline. The clock is stopped. It will be 4th down with about 1:30 left.

Now Sanger will be forced to punt it from the 38. Sanger may go for it here.....nope they are lined up to punt.

[regaleagle]

Now a high snap over Martinez down to the Argyle 10 yd line as he is mobbed by the Eagles.

[regaleagle]

Argyle 24
Sanger 14

52 secs left in the half

[regaleagle]

The snap actually was a high fast ball that went thru the hands of Martinez on that punt. Now the kickoff by Argyle is another touchback.

[regaleagle]

Sanger hands off to Moser as he is hit and taken down by Gage Campbell for a 5 yd gain.

[regaleagle]

Peyton Howard is a sprinter at 4.5 speed at receiver.....Moser at RB has 4.4 speed. Sanger lets the clock expire for the half. Sanger will receive the ball first in the 2nd half.

[regaleagle]

Getting set for the 2nd half kickoff by Argyle. Eagles in Black with red pants. Sadler kicks it deep to the one. Moser takes it out to the 22 yd line.

[regaleagle]

2nd and 12 now for Sanger at their own 21. Jackson keeps it off a fake to Moser as he fakes Sadler......he's very quick as he gets a first down to the 31.

[regaleagle]

Moser hit at the LOS for a yard gain. Now Moser up the middle again for no gain. 3rd and 9 for Sanger. They are trying to hit quick hitters to their speedy back. Now Jackson throws a good pass, but it falls incomplete. Sanger will punt it. Rugby style as Dillon Carter fields it at his 8 and takes it back to the 25.

[regaleagle]

Flag is down as Ledford gets a free play.......illegal formation against Argyle. 1st and 15 from their own 16. Ledford to Williams as he is tripped up on that hole. Flag again on Argyle for a holding call. Now Argyle will be backed up even more. 1st and 20 for the Eagles at their own 11. Throw to Nanny out to the 10 now. 2nd and long still for Argyle.

[regaleagle]

2nd and 13 from their 17. Ledford overthrows Nanny for incomplete as Casey Harper was wide open, but Ledford didn't see him.

[regaleagle]

Ledford over the middle to Harper short of the first down because of the penalties. Argyle will be forced to punt . Low snap to Dillon Carter as he scoops it up and hits a wobbler out to midfield out of bounds. Sanger will get great field position.

[regaleagle]

Moser with speed down to the 43 on first down. Now a run for no yardage. Back to Moser to the 39.....he's really quick for the first down at the Argyle 39. Now Jackson throws deep to Peyton Howard for a completion against Gage Campbell and Howard brings it in at the one yard line. Now Sanger runs it in for a touchdown. The kick is good. Sanger came to play tonite. Great Oline.

[regaleagle]

Williams off right tackle right at the marker......Argyle first down.....it was close.

[regaleagle]

Ledford runs for his life on that blitz and throws it away. 2nd and 10 goes to Estrada down to the 18 close to another first down. He saved the touchdown. Sanger is really gambling on that blitz and almost paid for it. third and one now. Williams up the middle as he is short. It will be 4th and less than a yard. Decision for Todd Rodgers. No time out as the clock runs down and the ball is snapped. It goes to Williams and the Sanger defense throws Williams for a loss and holds.

[regaleagle]

Sanger from their 28 on 2nd and 4. Now its down to the 31 on that run by Moser. 3rd and one....Jackson fakes the handoff as Pierce Davies hits him and throws Jackson for a 2 yd loss. Sanger will have to punt it. The clock expires for the end of 3rd quarter. Great game, folks.

Sanger 21

End of 3rd

[regaleagle]

Sanger will be punting on 4th and 3 from their own 30. Martinez on a line drive to Sadler all the way down the sideline to the Sanger 40 yd line. Sanger player is down, but a flag down on Argyle for an unsportsmanlike after the play. This will again move the ball back 15 yds against Argyle.

[regaleagle]

It will be right at midfield for Argyle. The Sanger player is up and not badly injured. Ledford throws it deep downfield and there is contact with Carter but no flag is thrown.

[regaleagle]

Tough running by Williams down to the 21 yd line as he carries a couple of tacklers with him. Now down to the 19. He we go again on 3rd 4 inside the 20. Ledford throws it into the endzone but it is in traffic for incomplete.

[regaleagle]

Now Mallory is tangled up with a Sanger lineman and another flag is thrown. It's against Argyle for a dead ball foul. Now a sideline warning to Sanger. The Sanger coach is arguing with the ref. The flag is pulled because the coach is right. 4th down on Argyle on that dead ball flag. Argyle will go for it in dead man's land......4th and 20. Ledford to Garret Carter as it falls incomplete. The ball goes over to Sanger here in the 4th quarter.

[regaleagle]

Sanger from their own 25, Moser gets it for 2 yds. Jackson throws it to Howard and just dropped it. He had 5 yds on Gage Campbell.

Jackson on a keeper for only 2 yds.....great tackle by linebacker Horton.

[regaleagle]

[regaleagle]

Williams runs it for a yard. Argyle will attempt to kill the clock here. 2nd and 9 with 1:10 to play. Sanger has one more timeout.

Argyle 27
Sanger 21

Final

[regaleagle]

Anybody that tries to tell me this Sanger team ain't good has a screw loose or just doesn't know about talented players on a football field. These Sanger Indians are a really good team, even if they have been winning ugly. Let's just say this: Your team would not want to play them.

[regaleagle]

Sanger showed their big Oline as being very good, their defense as being very quick and tough, and all their talented backs and receivers as being very speedy and talented. Sanger made very few mistakes tonite.....as opposed to Argyle with lots of penalties almost all night long. Well over 100 yds of penalties against Argyle tonite.

[bobcat1]

Sounds like an exciting game.

[regaleagle]

Lots of team speed for the Indians on a great effort tonite. I'm sure they feel they had a chance to win this one, and they had some opportunities......but the Argyle D rose to the occasion several times during this game when they needed it.

[regaleagle]

Lots of gray hair for Coach Todd Rodgers in this game tonite, but Argyle still wins in a tough game when things did not go the way the Eagles had hoped. Good game by both teams all night long......some untimely penalties by Argyle will be a learning experience for the players as the season goes forward. A very exciting game, for sure.

[SBSlackers]

Sanger far and away played its best game of the season tonight. Argyle definitely helped keep the Indians in it with all the 15-yard penalties at crucial times. Proud of Sanger for keeping their heads togther after the punting gaffe right before the half, the game could have gotten ugly quickly.

Props to Argyle once again. They've definitely found an RB in the Ralston/Sweatt mode. Williams is a beast that got stronger as the game went along.

Hopefully Sanger uses this to boost condifidence to finish off district and into the playoffs. Would sure love to see a rematch in 6 weeks at CH Collins!

[regaleagle]

A rematch in 6 weeks at CH Collins is very possible, IMO. Both of these teams have more work to do first. Abilene Wylie may well be the "team to beat" in Division I Region 1. Most say Argyle, but there's still football to be played before the playoffs.

[slingshot]

Most say Argyle, but there's still football to be played before the playoffs.There you go again... Argyle is the clear #1 in Reg 1 and they should go ahead and order new jerseys with a huge bullseye on the back! Little 'ol Wylie will be a push over, no need to worry about us... ;)

[Wayne]

I was very impressed with Sanger last night. They definitely came ready to play. I would hate to have to face them in the playoffs. Look for Sanger to go deep and shock a lot of teams. Congrats on a hard fought battle Sanger.

[Caveman]

That was an ugly game. Regal is right. Argyle is not the #1 team in Reg. I. As for Williams. The young man can't hold on to the ball or block. He put his QB in danger several times by not blocking. The secondary is very suspect. If the whole team can't keep their heads on straight (over 100 yds. in penalties in 5 games) they won't get out of the second round. Very frustrating game. First one I've seen this season so maybe this was a hiccup. I sure hope so.

I haven't seen them play yet either.....just listened to each game and watched the clips. But from what I'm taking in.....they lack discipline and make too many self-inflicted mistakes. Good athletes, but not playing together as a championship caliber team yet. I think they have the players in place, but still have lots of work left to do. Only 7 games so far, and lots without Ledford as the team leader on offense. Offense seems to sputter a little, and it puts lots of pressure on the D against a very good team. That's my analysis from afar of this year's Eagles so far. They have the potential, but have not come close to harnessing it in a great package yet. One big problem has been the constant penalties that should not be happening at this stage of the season. Get those ironed out and I think you see different results all around.

But they will get out of the second round, IMHO.

Oh no! The sky is falling!!! Sanger came in with good talent, and finally seems to use it effectively against a familiar opponent and came within 6 points of an upset over a rival!! ya know, things happen like that in HS football!! Argyle folks just need to be happy with the win..so they have some "things" to work out, so what!! Take the W and move forward and work to improve!! LOL. Y'all sounding like Cowboy fans back in the day when they would lose a game, or win ugly..." Don't worry..be happy"

I'm very pleased with the wins this season for the Argyle Eagles. To be able to continually win games like this team has for so long is just a testament to hard work and quality coaching. Argyle does not have that much better than the better competition......they just work hard, have established a winning tradition, and have garnered an excellent coaching staff thru the years to help the players improve their skill levels. There are many teams in 4A with just as many good athletes as Argyle. My son and I are very happy and proud to be a part of the Argyle tradition......even though we no longer live there. Go Eagles!!!

Wylie or Sanger could win if Argyle plays like they did Friday night but I don't expect that to happen--Coach Rogers and staff are probably the best in the state in 4A and will clean up the mistakes. Argyle is big up front, has very good skill position players and always stays calm in pressure situations and close games. They have access to the best off-season training and nutrition programs in the state.
Wylie is getting better offensively by leaps and bounds every week, the defense has been one of the best in the state since the start of the season. We have been playing catch up with the off season programs but have made great strides the last couple of years thanks to programs like D-One and Action Zone. I do believe we can give Argyle a serious challenge this year if we stay healthy.
