Rockdale vs Yoakum

Should be a good game. Rockdale has a pretty dang good defense especially over the second half of the season and playoffs once they got their starters back from injury.


The player to watch for Rockdale on defense is #11. Imo he’s the best player on the team.


On offense you have the qb #2 locklin and #5 crawford(committed to Oklahoma).


3 big time d1 talents in a small school game like this should be exciting for both fan bases.


This is the furthest Rockdale has gone in the playoffs in 41 years when they won state in 1976.

Should be a humdinger OT. Can't wait. Rockdale is loaded and execute very well.

[Old Tiger]

I wish I could make it but no way I could leave work at 330 head home shower and let my dog out and then head to Houston from New Braunfels in time to make it.

[bluecat]

Yes this will be a good one. Again this one will who dominates the LOS. Ball & clock control will be the biggest factor in who wins this one. The Yoakum offense blew open the Goliad game in the first two series before they settled down into a more ground pound clock chewing unit. Bo will have the team ready for Friday nights game.

Take the dog with you.

[YTBulldogs]

That awful taste for over a year, is a powerful motivator. Complete step 15 of the mission this Friday, then a chance to right some wrongs.

Hope we can handle that speed, with our R4 speed? All starts with Rockdale's southpaw QB. Amazing athlete. Accounted for 50 TD's, nearly 2000 yards rushing, over 2000 yards passing and 300 yards combined per game out of him.

Hope to see Yoakum again this year at Jerry World!

[buff4ever]

Sorry OLD TIGGER, Yoakum will win this match up. Nice to see you posting on here again though.

[bluecat]

Game day! I like the Dogs chances in this game. The Dogs seem to be peaking on both offense and defense at this point in the playoffs. Coach Robinson has them focused each week and theirs tons of post season experience on both sides of the line. Focus, no T/O "s and control the clock, one more win and back to JerryWorld to finish it!

[coach]

I have the Fightin Willie Boydy's over Dwight Yoakum.

[Gsquared]

Man, YOAKUM, they good. Saw them for the 2nd time this season, last week in Austin. Coach Robinson has unleashed the Moore's on the ground, not sure anyone can stop that.

[YTBulldogs]

Will be a tough one for sure. Key IMO, our man on man DB's stopping Crawford and the quick slants. Don't see Locklin (Rockdales amazing southpaw QB) getting a chance to go wide due to our bookends. Keep them bottled up inside, let LB'ers take him down. We should be able to score, and hopefully -- stop them more than they stop us.

Homer pick: Yoakum 48-20. Go Dogs!!!!!

[Old Tiger]

I will be watching online

:evillol: well...............................

Good Luck to our neighbors to the north.... GATA Bulldogs :cheerl:

[regaleagle]

Yoakum hitting on all cylinders now......Look Out!! When a team finds their groove like the Bulldogs are playing right now.....all that talent.....Man! It's gonna definitely be a physical game, but the offense of Yoakum will shine again, IMHO. They took out a very respected Goliad team like they were sittin' still.....and Goliad's D was nothing to sneeze over. Just too much speed and talent on that offense for Rockdale to contain. And the Bulldog D is nasty good. They got some big ol' boys in there, and did a good job gettin' to Morris. Bland did get good hard yards, but they managed to tighten up in the Red Zone on almost every possession Goliad had there. Not sure about Rockdale's passing game.....Yoakum had to respect Goliad's. If Rockdale primarily runs it......not good for them. You need a very good balanced attack to stay with Yoakum.....and even that doesn't seem to be enough. I've got Yoakum winning this by 2 TD's. Go Bulldogs!!!

HE does not have to break outside..he is good at seeing the ENDS go up field and hitting the middle with his legs as he keeps his head up looking for targets. Going to be such a fun match up

Most of the big runs I’ve seen him break we’re in a seam between the tackles.

[Old Tiger]

Locklin on 3rd and 9 takes it 70ish yards to the house i think...

[Old Tiger]

14-0 Rockdale

[Old Tiger]

Jordan Moore with a big run they punch it in on the next play from the 1


14-7 Rockdale

[Old Tiger]

53 yard TD run by Locklin 21-7 Rockdale

[regaleagle]

How's Locklin breaking loose? Is he just that much faster, or are the blocks opening up big holes?

between tackles and finding creases....there are some holes but not huge.....


Then once he breaks he's just outrunning people



As i type this he breaks another one from the 20ish yard line of rockdale down to the yoakum 2

He may rush for 300+ tonight...well over 200 already

[Old Tiger]

28-7 Rockdale now...

Congrats to Rockdale! Watched their game last week vs Teague.

Congrats to the Tigers and Offensive Coordinator Brandon Houston! Coach Huey was my son's quarterback coach at Lorena. I give him a lot of credit for being a part of Lorena's turnaround. Will be at Jerry's world to watch the big game!

[Bosqueville]

You know the Cameron fans are not amused..

[Old Tiger]

You know the Cameron fans are not amused..

From the ones I've talked to they want us to beat Brock lol

[regaleagle]

Looks like Yoakum had no answer for one player mainly.....Locklin. Stop him and you change the whole way this game played out. But you didn't stop him enough and the game got away from you. Good season Yoakum......sorry to see you staying home.

[YTBulldogs]

Best team won tonight. Congrats RD. Yes, Locklin is amazing, and as I pointed out---had to be controlled, and wasn't. They used the Mineola game plan on us, and once again, we couldn't stop it, till it was too late. Play 1st half, like second---maybe we have a chance? Hat's off to RD, they earned this and I wish them well, as they try for their first championship at Jerry's World next Thursday.

Thanks Dogs for a great ride again. And should Bo move on, thank you for amazing 3 years.

Rockdale's defense is a fun defense to watch....for sure...


It was cool to see Crawford and Josh Moore going up against each other all game...

Sure hope Locklin is going someplace, if Crawford is going to Oklahoma? Locklin by far the motor that makes that team run. Best team will be Brock, but---like Gilmer did in 2009 vs. Cuero in semi's in Huntsville, they had the best player in Stump, and pulled out the win. I see this happening next Thursday.

I could see Locklin going to an FCS school....


Also an interesting point is Locklin's dad was the QB of the 1976 state title team and his grandpa was the QB of the Aycock Tigers(Rockdale's all black school back then) state championship team in 1955.

I'm one of them.

Locklin's dad didnt play in the 1976 game because he got hurt right??
