4AD-I Title Game: Kennedale Wildcats vs Carthage Bulldogs

[oldtownag]

The Dawgs roll and get #6!

[toddg]

The Dawgs roll and get #6! you underestimating the wildcats nag? I’m fixing to watch the LaVega game.

[oldtownag]

No. Just blind faith in my team!

[Dawgs]

you underestimating the wildcats nag? I’m fixing to watch the LaVega game.

Where you going to watch it? I would like to rewatch.

[bleedgreen]

Carthage has a long drive to Cowboys stadium which would be about 3 hours long. Do you think they will stay at a hotel nearby on Thursday or leave Carthage at 5 or 6am?
How do long bus rides affect a football team?
Another subject: I can't find much video on Carthage during the 2017 playoffs. I would like to see this "monster" team on video before Kennedale throws in the towel.

You can pay $10 and watch the LV game on texanlive.

Carthage offense is really good, will be the best Kennedale has seen this year. The Kennedale Defense, talent wise, is similar to the LaVega D, but will need to step up in the secondary..I’m sure the wildcat D coaches are well aware of that by now, and will make adjustments, will it be enough? Who knows.
The Kennedale OLine is a lot better than the LV line I saw vs.Carthage, they were not good at finishing blocks, and showed poor technic. The wildcat RBs run better in traffic as well..similar speed though.
Carthage D is solid, and are obviously well coached, their DLine plays low, and use their hands well, LBs are instinctive, and flow well..they tackle well, front to back. I’m just going by the LaVega game, so I may have seen things out of norm, but usually, you are what you are by the semis. Anyone that thinks Kennedale doesn’t have a good chance at an upset in this game, are either delusional, or just stupid when it comes to football. Kennedale does have a good chance, mainly because of their offensive line, which, IMO, is the best in 4A..and they execute their offense exceptionally well. But, I also believe, IMO, that Carthage has the best Offense in 4A.. so, IMO...this game will come down to the Defenses, and whomever comes up with the big plays, forced TOs, etc..Carthage is definitely the favorite in this game, and clearly the #1 team, but Kennedale is a very worthy opponent, and will prove to be formidable in this game, which I believe will take the full 48 minutes, maybe more, for the winner to emerge.

They are as good as I have seen. Carthage has a tough-row-to-hoe. After seeing what I saw last week, give me the green team.

Its Red vs Green for Christmas. How festive.

Nothing I can say will convince most of the posters on this site.
The Dawgs will be ready to play.
I can guarantee the Dawg QB will not make the mistakes he made against Le Vega.
You will see a scoring machine from the Dawg offense and the best defense in 4A doing what they do.

Kennedale wasn't in that 7 game span you mentioned. Records don't mean much to me due to the fact, it's all about who you play. Hence Kennedale and WO-S traveling to Nac to play one another. At this point, I don't care how many points Kennedale score. Just as long as we score one more. I think Lavega and Carthage defenses are great.

[oldtownag]

Just be happy WOS isn't playing Carthage.

[cowboyandchrist]

The last time the Dawgs played WOS, enough said.

WOS87 you seem to be arguing on the other thread how PG has no chance against WOS running the Wing T and taking the other side with Kennedale vs. Carthage.

[Sville]

Carthage IMO is just a notch above everyone else this year. They are the most complete team left in 4A. They have the best and most balanced offense and a very solid defense. Kennedale can win but it will take them relying on that massive OL and running game to milk the clock and limit Carthage's possessions. If the KDale offense has very many 3 and outs Carthage could put this game away late 3rd early 4th. The Dawgs have built a juggernaut of a program. They are basically the Aledo of 4A.

Carthage got this one in the bag. WOS better be glad they play in D2, or Carthage would take them over their knee too.

[bleedgreen]

Kennedale has won state championships in basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, and track but never in football. Why is that?
Everyone I talk to says you have to have a balanced offense to win championships.
There have been very few quarterbacks in the past who had natural abilities which could be developed into a balanced offense at Kennedale. I remember them and they were pretty good.
But even with a balanced offense, there must be a strong defense and special teams. Kennedale has never had that entire combination.
This year's team is the best I've ever seen in all three phases even though we don't pass very often.
We do have a cardiac team that can light it up in a moment....plays that will bring you to your feet both on offense, defense and special teams.
Kennedale is bringing the whole town and then some to this game. Hopefully, the home town cheering will inspire and motivate.

Last year yes, 100%. One of the all time great 4a (old 3a) teams. 2015 LV was freakin loaded. Nobody was beating them. If Carthage wins this Friday they have to get the nod. Wire to wire #1 team. But hell its all speculation. I would love to see Carthage donkey stomp WOS this year though. If it want for the split we would've seen that game 3 years in a row. Ugghhh! Freakin UIL.

[Dawgs]

I'm just going to say it. This is a bad matchup of Kennedale. If Carthage plays clean it's a 3 score game. If not I could see it play out alot like the LV game. Where Carthage is up 2-3 scores multiple times but can't put it away. But Carthage isn't losing this game. Not against a team running the Wing T.

[bleedgreen]

Man!!! I must of hit a nerve.

We tried to schedule you, and Kilgore and Celina and several other dozen teams but you were afraid. At least Kennedale had the cojones to play us. ;)

Lmao!! Scared? Really? Or had our schedule full and have plenty of competition in a 50 mile radius to sharpen the team for district and then played in the district of doom to continue prepping for the playoffs. But your probably right. Scared makes more sense. Since we are so scared to lose games. 5 state champs. Only 1 undefeated. We schedule up as much as possible.

[ctown81]

There's a reason why yall have to look outside of your area to schedule tough opponents. We don't have to do that in east texas. Also, I'm not sure playing Carthage in the preseason would be a big help. Yall would probably beat us handily. This is the first team in a while that's had it together the whole season. We're usually sloppy the first few games hence the slow starts most years.

Carthage will need to cure the turnover bug from last week. I doubt they can have as many turnovers as they did vs. La Vega and win #6.

That said, I doubt they will have 4 turnovers like last week.

Yup. Dawgs win. Kdale not enough D I don't think.

Everyone likes to put in that little ending "I don't think". Is it because you don't know enough about Kennedale to be absolutely sure, so you say "I don't think." Come on, make a commitment like a lot of other posters are doing.

We Dawg fans know that many on this site want the Dawgs to loose, it comes with the territory.
When you win as many state championships as the Dawgs you get use to it. This year is no different.
When to see the Dawgs in person, you will know why they have been ranked number one since the summer.
They are a well balanced offensive machine and just so happens to have the best defense in 4A.
I fully expect to see a great game by the two best teams left, all I can say is Carthage go-na Carthage.

I certainly hope Kennedale can give them a game, but I think it'll require a whole lot of luck to do so. The Carthage defense is legit, but their offense is one of the best I've ever seen in 4A. They played their sloppiest game all year last week and still hung 46 on a great La Vega defense.

Carthage loses. Can you understand that?

[bleedgreen]

I like what DJ Kirven said after the Midlothian Heritage game:

“We told ourselves we had 33 seconds left and to keep pounding." “We didn’t give up. We went down there and scored. It all comes from not wanting to lose again. After that loss to West Orange-Stark [the Wildcats’ only of the season], we said we weren’t going to lose again.”

[regaleagle]

There ya have it folks......Kennedale will not lose another game. Ingram will not be the only back on the field to shine in this game. I wonder if Capp is gonna be "on" this week.....

[bleedgreen]

If this turns out to be a close game and it comes down to a field goal, Carthage is hurting.
If this turns out to be a close game and it comes down to a field goal, Kennedale wins.
A lot of Carthage's starting field positions were short for different reasons: long run-backs, fumble recovery, out of bounds on a bad squib, blocked punt, etc. (la Vega miscues)
95% of the time Kennedale's kickoff sails into the end zone. Knowing Kennedale's special teams, I certainly wouldn't run it out.
Another observation: if the ball is inside the opposition 10 yard line, #5 runs wildcat.
If you see #13 running across the backfield, he may do a sneak snap. Very clever.
LV never should have passed from their own 25 yard line which led to an interception by #5 (who seems to be everywhere).
La Vega needs to learn how to squib kick...not soft and easy but a line drive grounder no one can handle and bounces off the receiver. It comes kind of like dodge ball.
La Vega had the ball on Carthage's 34 yard line and couldn't get a first down on 4 tries. UGH!
Towards the end of the game, Ingram ran it in for a 46 yard TD. That was a back breaker.
Carthage knows how to finish games.
Kennedale knows how to never give up.
Good luck to all, LEAVE EARLY and have a safe trip. Win or lose this will be a good game. (However, I will continue to poke fun)

[regaleagle]

I can state this fact from experience.......a really special kicker like Kennedale has this season can make a big difference in the game.....and probably will......somewhere. It's gonna be a good-un.

[King-Kat]

Well I guess it's time I chimed in. Folks here know I follow high school football. I have for 40 years, I live in region 2 so I know more about this area. I don't talk smack and I do a lot of research...my last post was when Kennedale was to play WOS...I called that one that it would be to close to call and it went OT...I am quite amused homers from carthage call themselves the number one offense and defense...accordi my to what I read, Kennedale averages more points, allows fewer points and have two backs over 2000 yards each, let alone 2 other backs and a quarterback accounting for over 1500 more. Carthage, well I don't see the all star back with that many, he is definately a star, no doubt, but statistics don't lie...what does that mean in game...NOTHING. predictions in this game are given by followers of each side. Professional predictions are relying on state rankings and hype. This again should be an epic battle and if it comes down to special teams I see Kennedale getting the nod. Kennedales weakest link are the defensive backs, but the blitz packages make up for that weakness. If Carthage line can pick those up and give their QB time to work, I would give the nod to Carthage. If Carthage can find a way to stop the four headed monster running game of Kennedale, then again they get the nod, if not Kennedale will score often and fast. Kennedale may run a wing T, but it is super modified to say the least...my thoughts, going to be a slobberknocker..no prediction except the team with the most points will win, there will be no loser...see you there!!

[bleedgreen]

“I know what you're thinking. Did he run four times or five?
Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself.
But being this Wildcat team has some of the most powerful running backs in the state and they would blow right by your linebackers, you've got to ask yourself one question:
"Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?”

Carthage pulled starters in every game by the third quarter except against La Vega, that could be why the stats are what you see. K Ingram sitting on the bench at the half in almost every game and still has 2000 yards and over 30 touch downs could be another reason. The QB with over 40 touch downs and sitting on the bench at the half could be another reason. Coach Surratt pulling the defense in the third quarter in nearly every game could account for a lot of those points. You might want to do more research. The Dawg D is for real and the offense is a scoring machine. Could be why the Dawgs are favored to win number # 6.
Should be a great game.

Now it's down to matchups on the field, mistakes, execution plays, and sometimes calls and non-calls. No replay......so whatever happens happens. Time to strap it up and go get em. Good luck to both teams and may we have a very close and exciting finale.

[King-Kat]

Carthage pulled starters in every game by the third quarter except against La Vega, that could be why the stats are what you see. K Ingram sitting on the bench at the half in almost every game and still has 2000 yards and over 30 touch downs could be another reason. The QB with over 40 touch downs and sitting on the bench at the half could be another reason. Coach Surratt pulling the defense in the third quarter in nearly every game could account for a lot of those points. You might want to do more research. The Dawg D is for real and the offense is a scoring machine. Could be why the Dawgs are favored to win number # 6.
Should be a great game.

Well now, let me see...Kennedale had running clocks in 5 games, starters didn't play full games until playoffs (excluding WOS), please don't question my research, ask anyone here, I know what I am talking about, I'm not about to get into a bicker battle with anyone, it is useless, but I might suggest you do YOUR research and be less bias and less o f a homer...the point differential and strength of schedules are out there...to say you have the BEST in everything, is a false statement, statistics don't prove that but once 22 players are on the field, he said she said means zip....

[KildogDad]

A couple of high-powered offenses against a couple of stingy defenses. It's going to take a perfect game to beat Carthage. Kennedale may be the ones to do it. Carthage was bit by the turnover bug bad last week and still won. Doubt they'll have that happen two weeks in a row.

[cowboyandchrist]

I respect opinions, but take exception when some one down plays the number one running back in the state in any classification and try to use stats as a gauge. You want Kennedale to win, no problem. I am a Dawg homer, but fully understand that they are in for a battle.
LeVega stats were better than Kennedale on defense only allowing 9 points a game. The Dawgs had four unforced turnovers and still scored 46.
The Dawg D forced everyone of LeVega turnovers and scored on one of them. Dawg D has 8 or 9 touchdowns this year.
Now I do know the Dawgs can’t have a game like that against Kennedale and win, but coach Surratt has a way of getting his QB’S ready for big games.
Have you ever seen Carthage play.

Well I guess it's time I chimed in. Folks here know I follow high school football. I have for 40 years, I live in region 2 so I know more about this area. I don't talk smack and I do a lot of research...my last post was when Kennedale was to play WOS...I called that one that it would be to close to call and it went OT...I am quite amused homers from carthage call themselves the number one offense and defense...accordi my to what I read, Kennedale averages more points, allows fewer points and have two backs over 2000 yards each, let alone 2 other backs and a quarterback accounting for over 1500 more. Carthage, well I don't see the all star back with that many, he is definately a star, no doubt, but statistics don't lie...what does that mean in game...NOTHING. predictions in this game are given by followers of each side. Professional predictions are relying on state rankings and hype. This again should be an epic battle and if it comes down to special teams I see Kennedale getting the nod. Kennedales weakest link are the defensive backs, but the blitz packages make up for that weakness. If Carthage line can pick those up and give their QB time to work, I would give the nod to Carthage. If Carthage can find a way to stop the four headed monster running game of Kennedale, then again they get the nod, if not Kennedale will score often and fast. Kennedale may run a wing T, but it is super modified to say the least...my thoughts, going to be a slobberknocker..no prediction except the team with the most points will win, there will be no loser...see you there!!

You mentioned the 5500+ yd rushing attack of Kennedale and the measly 2000 yds for Ingram.... but you didn't mention anything about Carthage's QB and his 3500+ passing yds and 45 TD's?

“I know what you're thinking. Did he run four times or five?
Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself.
But being this Wildcat team has some of the most powerful running backs in the state and they would blow right by your linebackers, you've got to ask yourself one question:
"Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?”

I nominate this post as one of top ten best for the season. :spitlol::spitlol:

I'm just glad he's not a duel threat like the WOS qb. The best qb I saw all season was Landon Ledbetter at Midlothian Heritage. He cut us up like a fine surgeon. He never completed any long passes but threw a ton of bubbles, screens and crossing patterns.
They had too many good receivers running great routes for our secondary to effectively cover. Fortunately, they had a lousy defense to stop Kennedale's run. I shouldn't say lousy because they were undefeated at the time. Now that was a game to remember.
Maybe Kennedale is motivated by playing undefeated teams.

[cowboyandchrist]

WOS87 how many turnovers by mishandling the pitch or handoff did Kennedale have in that game.
I believe I read they had 5, so you betcha if they give us the ball five times it could happen.

Brett Favre can throw a football over 50 yards. Kennedale's quarterback can throw Brett Favre even further.

Coach Barrett's computer has no "backspace" button, Coach Barrett doesn't make mistakes.

The only football teams that win against Kennedale , are the ones they allow to win.

Coach Barrett's calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd: No one fools Coach Barrett.

Evan Jowers doesn't have good aim. His passes just know better than to miss.

I wish this game would hurry up....I'm running out of jabs.

Heck I'd be a 2000 yard rusher playing against those weak fort worth teams too. Kennedale is a great team but outside of WOS, their regular season schedule was cake. So please stop with the numbers. Carthage hears the EVERY year.

Well I reckon it's gonna be one heckuva crowd watching this one, Huh? Kennedale finally making it to this game after falling just short in recent years to other good teams.....trying to dethrone a perennial and the standing champion and preseason favorite to repeat......the Carthage Bulldogs. I'm sure all of East Texas will be on the bandwagon for Carthage......but let's not kid ourselves folks. In this type of scenario there will be thousands of non-Kennedale fans rooting for the Wildcats to take down the champ in this one. It happened when Argyle played in this game for about 4 out of 5 yrs.......that's just the way it happens, LOL. I think this adds to the game even that much more.......there should be great statewide interest from all classifications watching this one. From a fan that's been to every one of Argyle's SC title games I can honestly say that I'm excited to see this game. Crazy things can happen out on that field in a game like this.......so buckle up your seatbelts and let's get ready to........RUUUUUUMMMMMMBLE!!!!!

I did not know that. Yes, he would have been a difference maker.
I'll say it again: Midlothian Heritage may go all the way next year. They have a very talented offense and a lot of returning starters.
If they can shore up the defense, they should be fun to watch and hard to beat.

[waterboy]

We held Kdale to 9 points in the first half, 8 in the second. Can you beat that Dawgs?

Honestly, I don't think they will..., nor will they have to. Can Kennedale hold Carthage to 20 points in regulation? I seriously doubt it.

It's not about how good your defense is, or how good your offense is, it's about who can score the most points. Am I right?

[Dawgs]

We held Kdale to 9 points in the first half, 8 in the second. Can you beat that Dawgs?

Man everybody in the state is on the Ingram bandwagon. Where have you been. I know Kirvin and Knowles are awesome. I saw a interview, and they are very respectful young men. Amazing to have both on the same team. But comparing them to Keaontay is not fair. That's like comparing a Camero to a Ferrari. I'm not talking trash. It's just what it is. If you haven't seen Keaontay go to this game. You will see a future NFL running back. In my time watching Carthage and 4a old 3a that I can remember off the top of my head I have only seen 2 kids close to Ingram. Jaxon Shipley and Daylon Mack. Ingram better than both. He looks like a mix between Le'Veon Bell and Adrain Peterson. There will be no question who the best player on the field will be after the 1st quarter. Stats! Haha. Ingram could have run for 4,000 yards if Surratt would've let him. Herman should send Surratt a big Christmas gift for saving Ingram for him. Ingram starts at Texas as a freshman.

[regaleagle]

I didn't hear that he signed yesterday.....will he sign by the deadline or wait until February???

Looks like Carthage wants to loosen up the Kennedale D with some passing to unleash Ingram. OR.....they think they can exploit Kennedale's secondary.

[regaleagle]

Or both.

[regaleagle]

Linebacker could not cover that swing pass.

[regaleagle]

Good throw under pressure by Capps to make that big third down TD pass to Ingram. Kick is good.

Carthage 7-0

12 play opening drive is successful. Now it's Kennedale's turn.

Deep TD pass to Colbert for another Carthage TD. Kick is good. That was 3rd and long. Kennedale's secondary is being exploited.

Carthage 14-0

[regaleagle]

Lack of moving the chains on offense gives this Carthage offense too many opportunities and keeps the defense on the field too many minutes. That's the biggest disappointment so far for Kennedale.....not sustaining drives.

[regaleagle]

This game will move along very quickly now......but it was destined to be very short anyway with a wing t offense on one side. If Kennedale's offense had the ball longer, it would move even more quickly. Kennedale has EVERYTHING against them in this one.

All the talk about the studs Carthage has...or the in game coaching...but it goes to show how well this offensive scheme is designed. It is almost perfect in how it can attack a defense with the variety of formations but never feeling like they are throwing too much stuff out there.

I've said it before..., I will never bet against Surratt and staff in a championship game. He's been blessed with a whole lot of talent, though, and that certainly helps.

[Roughneck93]

Congrats Carthage...very impressive!

[cowboyandchrist]

The first Dawg drive was as expected, no body has stopped them all year.
The Dawg defense was the big story, totally dominated the run only offense.
Once the Dawgs knew that Kennedale could not run on them.
He (coach Surratt) turned the Dawg offense loose.
Another factor was the Dawg speed on both sides of the ball.
Great O line play, QB on the money, three best linebackers in 4A, and a D line that beat the big o line of Kennedale.
Congrats to Kennedale for a great season, you deserved to be hear.
I will go ahead and say it now.
The best Dawg team we have ever had.
We do have another one coming.
The sophomores and freshmen will be amazing when they get here.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
God Bless coaches, players, and fans.
I pray for safe travels.

Like I said a few days ago, the Dogs were so good this year they were boring. Of course that's far from the case if you're from Carthage. Enjoy your latest state championship. I'll bet winning them never gets old. Our future looks good for at least the next 5 years so maybe we can finally get one.

Carthage had two many weapons. I saw 4 0r 5 play makers on offense that could take it to the house on any play. Defensively they had a game plan for Kennedale. Heritage I think would have scored more on Carthage but Carthage is clearly a step above everyone else in 4A. Best Carthage team I have seen.

Bragging rights stay in East Texas for another year.

Congrats to Kennedale for making it to your first state championship game.

It's time for Kennedale to rethink the wing T. Rarely a run only team can go all the way

Where you at WOS87
Please compare what your defense did compared to what the Dawg D did to Kennedale.
Sorry had to get that in there.
I have said all year, the Dawg D was the best in 4A.
This was the best Dawg team we have had at Carthage.

[Dawgs]

I'm just going to say it. This is a bad matchup of Kennedale. If Carthage plays clean it's a 3 score game. If not I could see it play out alot like the LV game. Where Carthage is up 2-3 scores multiple times but can't put it away. But Carthage isn't losing this game. Not against a team running the Wing T.

Well Carthage played clean. I tried to tell everybody it was a bad matchup for Kennedale. The film don't lie. There was not 1 place Kennedale had a matchup advantage on film, and it showed big time yesterday.

[Dawgs]

We held Kdale to 9 points in the first half, 8 in the second. Can you beat that Dawgs?
Wya 87? How bout 7 in the 1st half, 7 in the 2nd? Or if you want to count that score with 10 seconds left on our 2's you can. Small difference in scoring between the 2 games though. Dawgs scored on 1st 7 possessions to take a 42 point lead in the 4th.
