Wharton takes out Burnett [Archive]

Burnett obviously has talent and nobody thinks they can be touched. Those who haven't seen Wharton or heard of them are going to be surprised after things are said and done. From the looks of things, Burnett has not been challenged by anyone yet, but have they played anyone who matched up with them the way Wharton will? I think Wharton has the athletes to take Burnett out Saturday. Look for a great game, with teh Tiges winning by 8!!

i agree that burnett will be in a fight...i think that the o-line of burnett will be the key to the game can they handle the pass rush of the giants that are in wharton?

The giants i am talking about are 6'7 370 (heard) 6'2 350 (thompson) 6'4 280 (edwards)
how can burnett's kids be prepared for the battle that they will be in for?

are they practicing against UT or a&m...i doubt it...i predict McGee running alot backwards that is, like he has all year.

I hate to say this but wharton ur in for a rude awakening. This is no normal 3a team. These guys are on another level. Ive seen film from u guys. I dont see a team un u guys that can beat burnet. Good luck trying though. Anything can happen on any given day!

My bad 29east. Didn't mean to spell Burnet wrong. I think Burnet is prime for getting knocked off, and it will happen this Saturday. Last year was last year, and Wharton is playing pretty good football right now.

I think seeing film and watching the guys live is different. Wharton will match up with Burnet's size, speed and whatever else. Burnet has not been in a close game all year. Wharton has won two close ones in a row against top 3A opponents. The game will be close the whole way, and Wharton will make a big play at the end, like they did against Cuero, and win! Get 'em Tigers!!

I dunno guys i'm not trying to take anything away from a talented and good wharton team. But when you play burnet you are playing some top of the line 3a guys whos level of play is even better than 3a. I do expect it to be a close game. But I honestly dont think all the film watching in the world can prepare you for what burnet can do cuz burnet has so many more tricks up its sleeve that you havent seen yet. I know last week at somerset they threw in some formations i hadnt seen them run all year. There play book is so thick its amazing and when you have guys as talented as them you can do just about anything you can imagine. I know this game is gonna be a close one and trust me these coaches from burnet arent gonna let these guys over look anyone cuz the moment they do they have already beaten themselves. but i really think that burnet is gonna win this one. you'll be surprised but what you see.

I'm sure Burnet will be everything that people say they are. Wharton is among the tops in 3A as well. Wharton will play the game they need to to keep it close and win in the 4th quarter. Wharton has so many weapons to go to, that they will be able to keep up with whatever Burnet has up their sleeve.

You have Eddie Rollman who is 6'4" and 285 who isnt as fat as those boys from wharton and who is hell of strong and pretty quick and most of the other boys on that burnet O line arent as big but prolly the same hiegth and just as strong. my question to you though is what does McGee running backwards have to do with anything? So what those big boys are gonna rush let them try and chase McGee down I gurantee you those boys will wear out before he will.

Playa 3 does not play football. Just a fan interested in High School football. I would like to know what seems to make Burnet's team faster, stronger and better than Wharton when the two teams match up pretty evenly. I think Wharton has earned the respect off any critics out there by beating Rice and Cuero back-to-back. Wharton is ready to win the big games and has already proven they can.

I understand that Burnet hasn't been stopped all year, but come on, they haven't faced an opponent even close to them yet. I would hope they would blow everyone out. Wharton is a team on Burnet's level and Burnet knows it. I guarantee Wharton has Burnet's attention.

the best thing you guys from wharton can do is keep your trap shut. if you want to talk you need to praise burnet and say how great a game if should be.how proud you are of your kids,etc. you sure dont want to do anything that might give burnet any more reason to be fired up than they already have. marlin does the same thing and they have to eat crow ever year. you see them doing it towards newton. jasper did it last year and they is still have lots of crow left to eat.

good post playa, I have to agree with you about Wharton testing burnet. Wharton has size and speed. I don't think Wharton will win but I guarantee they get Burnet's attention. Burnet hasn't played anyone good in a while. I think they will be looking past Wharton a little. I thought Marlin would at least show up earlier in the season. Burnet is just that good.

11-20-2003, 07:02 PM

bd62, so it's ok for Burnet fans to brag on their team and predict blowouts, but when some other fans build up their team and predict victory, there is a problem. Other fans have just as much right to brag on their teams and build their teams up as Burnet fans do. I'll be plenty loud at the game don't worry about that. If you think what I'm doing is being loud on the internet, you need to get out more. This isn't any kind of trash talking. That kind of stuff is reserved for on the field confrontations. The kids can talk the trash if they want to. I'm just confident in my team as you are confident in yours.

I really dont see any trash talking from tiger fans. I think we have acting very mature on the posts. It's just for three weeks all our opponents have disregarded our team and talked only about the NEXT game(of which there wasn't one). It should be a good game.Maybe your sour grapes come from the fact we've outscored you for two years in a row.What our kids dont understand is way they cant get any respect from people in our area? And this just makes them want to try harder!

I agree with that. I'm not real sure what else the Tigers have to do for people to see that they are a heck of a football team. I especially like the comment people always make about "no discipline." At least get original about your criticism. I sure wish my program had no discipline and was as successful as Wharton's. People need to find something else to hit on because the lack of discipline thing is not relevant.

burnet did not start this thread. they have the right to answer these remarks.and of course you guys have the right to put any thing that reasonable on here.i am giving you advice. dont give a sleeping dog any reason to wake up.they may be ripe for a upset but dont tell them that.i have seen this happen time after time over the years. it just amazes me why people dont understand .
go ahead .keep it coming. but if it dont work out dont hide like some of the jasper posters did last year after they got the hell beat out of them.
take a lesson.last year everman was very quiet on the internet before the burnet game. they were on here but they were respectfull to burnet and burnet was the same for them.both teams knew it was going to be a war and neither did nothing to throw gasoline on the fire. i think now there is lots of respect for each other.

Burnet's intelligence level on this team is amazing. When I heard the awards won by the kids last year, every 1st team all district was followed by academic all district. This is obvious in the complex nature of Burnet's offense. I've watched practice many afternoons and I promise you, Burnet has only showed about half of their playbook.

The defense anticipates the other team's plays and are almost always correct resulting in interceptions or little gain. From what I've seen on film, Wharton's playbook is not real big giving the edge to Burnet's ability to anticipate certain plays and run stunts at the correct time.

That said, Wharton's talent level is equal to or above Burnet's. This contest may be brains verses talent. I take Brains by 20.

I think Wharton has earned the respect off any critics out there by beating Rice and Cuero back-to-back. Wharton is ready to win the big games and has already proven they can.Heres some numbers I took from an article in the Wharton Journal-Spectator, dated November 20, 2003;

** Burnet has out scored its opponents 535-86 and is averaging 434 yards per game.

** Wharton has outscored its opponents 339-209 and is averaging 359 yards per game.

** Burnet defense is yielding 179 yards per game and has 18 interceptions.

** Wharton defense is yeilding 284 yards per game and has 12 interceptions.

** Burnet Running Back, Chris Levins has scored 15 touchdowns and rushed for 1,000 yards on 111 carries.

** Wharton Running Back, Raymond Hudson has scored 11 touchdowns and rushed for 1,354 yards on 202 carries.

** Burnet QB Stephen Shipley has completed 145 of 231 passes for 2,904 yards. He had 38 touchdown passes and no interceptions. He has also scored six touchdowns and rushed for 408 yards.

** Wharton QB Trey Jones has completed 114 of 241 passes for 1,800 yards. He had 16 touchdown passes and nine interceptions. (There was no mention of any touchdowns he scored or rushing yards for him).

** Burnets Jordon Shipley has caught 69 passes for 1,472 yards and he has 25 touchdowns.

** Whartons Terence Ward has caught 33 passes for 500 yards. (No information given on TDs)

** Burnets Cody Warner has caught 47 passes for 900 yards and he has 10 touchdowns.

** Whartons Demestrice Dogins has caught 28 passes for 351 yards. (No information given on TDs)

The article gave more information on other players. I was trying to compare the top two receivers of each team. I did not list information on all the receivers on the Burnet or Wharton teams. I think these are some pretty interesting numbers to compare though. :D :D

I think Wharton will get at least one interception. Burnet will have to open their passing game up if they want to get the ball down the field. Wharton will be able to stop the short yardage passes for, well short yardage. Wharton's DB's are good enough to hang with Burnet's receivers and they will make some big plays. I think Wharton's defense will get some pressure on Burnet's quarterback and force him into some mistakes too.

I think the last two games of the playoffs are by far the greatest challenges that any team will face.

Hey folks, I promise you Coach Shipley has respect for Wharton and he rules the roost and makes sure the young uns don't get cocky.

As for McGee's having no ints, we know it's probably coming (sooner than later). The LH game was not the only close one, a kid from Llano had one of McGee's passes hit him square in the chest. He was so shocked he didn't hang on. McGee has savy about where he chunks the ball and he's fortunate that he has several very good recievers.....but 38 TDs and NO ints, give the kid his credit!!!!!

All said, I think the Wharton game will be played by both teams at a higher level than we have seen this year.

this is my view on this game if burnet tries to run up the middle on wharton it will be long night
burnet must use that speed on the outside and the passing game.
i saw wharton play rice consolidated this year rice used their speed and wharton used their power
both of these teams in my opinion could beat burnet if they played. i have seen burnett play this year and the size and speed in those 2 teams could match up with anybody. wharton and rice are 2 battled test teams burnett is not it will be curious to see how they react when they can knock wharton off the ball or when their quarterback gets sacked by those really big guys. wharton is just finding a way to win games lately. if wharton can keep this game close in the 4th quarter they will win this game. if they let burnet get a lead by 14 points or more they dont have mentally stamina to come back from that.

What game did you see Burnet Play? Run up the middle? We seldom use a fullback and when we do, he seldom gets the ball. Battle tested? These kids didn't think their season even started until the playoffs. As far as they're concerned they're 1-0.

I agree with that. Wharton is battle tested and I think that will help them in the 4th quarter of this game. Wharton's QB has been playing very smart lately as well. If the defense can play a game like they did against Rice, Wharton will win no doubt. What's great about football is that it doesn't matter what the teams look like on paper, the team that shows up and plays the best will win. Tigers advance.

Paintball, that's what we're saying. Burnet has not had to even worry about anybody yet this year. I'm sure they will be prepared and ready to play. But when the game starts, they are going to be shocked to find a team that is as talented as they are. There will be no David and Goliath in this game. Wharton is evenly matched with Burnet.

Coach Shipley is not worried about Mcgee so I don't think we should either. Mcgee had only 5 ints last year and none during the playoffs.

11-20-2003, 09:35 PM

I don't think Mcgee will go crazy throwing interceptions. If he hasn't thrown one all year, there is not much reason to think he will throw a bunch in this game. He will have to make some good decisions against Wharton's defense though. They will take advantage of Burnet mistakes.

I'm sure Wharton was ready to play last year. They just made some critical mistakes in the first half that kept them from staying in the game most of the way. Every team gets ready to play in the playoffs. This will be a good high school football game. Fans are going to get a treat.

espn1, that's definantely a little extreme. Burnet may score 4 TD's but they aren't going to beat Wharton by that much. Wharton scores too many points to get blown out.

Well, we will see on Saturday, now wont we? :-) Can't wait...I don't expect a blow out but I bet that Burnet overwhelms them in the first half and they will be outa the game by the 3rd. It is intersting that when Wharton wins they WIN and when they LOOSE, the LOOSE. It should be a good game......I hope.....

So you say you have won your last two games to two really tough teams ok rice cons. you only won by 5 and Cuero by 3. I think ya'll are lucky and those games could have gone either way. Not enough cushion for me.

sinton 1316

11-20-2003, 10:42 PM

i agree , espn's 4 td prediction seems to a little extreme too, but i do see burnet winning
not going to say a score, but i have faith in the bull dogs, they beat Sinton last year, and I thought Sinton was going to win state, much less lose to a team that didnt win state...(not bashing burnet here)
i have not seen wharton play, but i have heard good things about them
i dont think this game is going to come down to speed or size
the winner of this game is going to be the team that gets the momentum and keeps it
things that cause momentum:
big plays(such as broken pass coverage)
fumbles, interceptions
penalites
in essence, MISTAKES
the team with the least amount of mistakes will win this game
and please people, its Burnet, not Burnett, I'm a Sinton fan, and this gets bothersome after seeing it all this year
it makes me think if you cant spell it, you dont have much credibility as their name has been on top of every poll and about a quarter of the topics on this forum have Burnet something as the title
and i bet you say burn-net too, instead of burn-it

To my fellow Burnet faithful.... Does all this talk sound familier? Didn't Wharton have a BIG line last year....???? Didn't they have great speed...???? The only thing different this year is that Wharton will be a believer!!!! Which only means BURNET probably will win by less than last year!!!! Burnet by 39........

11-20-2003, 11:06 PM

say what you want about the close game swith rice and cuero. Both of those teams were top 15 in the state when Wharton beat them. The Rice game was not as close as the score indicated. Wharton dominated that game. The Cuero came down to Wharton making the big play in the end. All that shows me is that Wharton can win a tight game with the pressure mounting. I don't really care how testetd last years wins made Burnet. They have not been pushed yet this year. I can't wait to see what unfolds.

One thing you have to think about is how easy a ride it seems Burnet has had here, and how hard Wharton has fought. Wharton's the definitely the underdog, and it seems like they could have much more fight in them. Don't get me wrong though, I don't know the Burnet people, and I'm not trying to say they don't have any fight. They've gotta be just as pumped as Wharton is. But as a member of Wharton High School, I have to support my Tigers.

If Burnet can beat Wharton 70-0, maybe they are worthy to be feared. You guys still have to prove some things to me before anything like that happens. I guarantee Wharton doesn't fear Burnet. There is respect, Burnet has earned that, but fear is silly. No good competitor fears opponents. I hope you Burnet fans aren't expecting Wharton to come into the game being scared. Wharton will be ready to take it right at the Bulldogs for 4 quarters.

But when the game starts, they are going to be shocked to find a team that is as talented as they are. There will be no David and Goliath in this game. Wharton is evenly matched with Burnet.You know Playa 3, we heard you guys saying the same thing last year, some one brought up an old post from last year earlier this week and I started reading it not knowing it was last years post. It was all about how big and bad your guys were and how bad they were going to beat Burnet. Im sorry but I couldnt help but laugh when I looked up and saw the date. The green dogs just flat wupped your butts last year, plain and simple. Your big boys were worn out before the 3rd quarter ended and had given up. I promise you that regardless of what you read on this site, our team and coaches are not taking anyone for granted. They will be prepared. For you to sit there and say that Burnet has been totally unchallenged, after Whartons, miserable preformance last year is a joke. Why dont we just save it for the field. If Burnet loses, so be it, we will just say we were beaten by a better team and life will go on.

Burnet will win by more than they did last year.

Wharton shoud have gotten beat last week if it had not been for the Cuero choke at the end of the game last week. Cuero was driving and you could tell they just gave up and decided to settle for a field goal. And that is why Wharton won.

Wharton is not in shape to run with Burnet. Heard is out of shape and takes plays off. I think people will see just how horrible he really is. Most plays, he is either on the ground, rolling around, or on a knee watching the play.

It's overall team attitude. Wharton will be done by half. Burnet advances, Wharton gets ready for roundball.

When you come off sounding cocky and arrogant, you just give the other team the incentive and drive to want to come out and PLOW YOU UNDER!!! Hasn't anyone learned this by now? Discretion is the better part of valor and right now, playa3, your not being very DISCREET!

Another thought, is playa3 REALLY even from Wharton at all, or just someone from somewhere else trying to start trouble for Wharton, especially someone with a grudge to settle? We all know this ploy has been done many times before by outsiders. I just can't believe that one of the Wharton fans would continue doing something like this when it is so obvious that this is only hurting our team and town!

okay its time to separate the pretenders from the contenders. their are only 4 special teams in 3a football this year and they are # burnett # gainesville #3 rice consolidated #4 newton...
even though wharton beat rice consolidated lets not forget that a drop pass in the endzone for rice. wharton has the size and speed but not the mentall stamina and class it takes to win and to becomes a special because they dont come out and play every week. some of those guys are lazy and not coachable and it seems to me that the coaches are intimated by some of those player.

I think Wharton will get at least one interception. Burnet will have to open their passing game up if they want to get the ball down the field. Wharton will be able to stop the short yardage passes for, well short yardage. Wharton's DB's are good enough to hang with Burnet's receivers and they will make some big plays. I think Wharton's defense will get some pressure on Burnet's quarterback and force him into some mistakes too.Wharton, I haven't seen ya'll play, but I do know that Burnet will come at you with everything they've got - all 48 minutes. As far as short yardage passes, McGee can and will throw as far as needed. Good luck to your defense putting pressure on him as well. I don't usually make predictions, but I suspect it will be a close game and that when the final buzzer sounds, Burnet will be on top. Good luck to both teams for an injury free game. Burnet, do us proud. :)

I think anyone that discounts these two teams is liable to get bitten in the behind before the playoffs are over. :D :D

I see that Sinton won last night,understand that if they win the coin toss and Burnet wins the game that next playoff will be in Corpus Christi.

Have watched game tapes of Wharton and they definitely have some size. Didn't see a lot of speed in the big men,tho. As far as their secondary, looks to be easy pickings if they are not careful. Burnet's o-line is a very fast and disciplined unit-they can keep up with anyone when needed. Wharton did not seem to have a very deep play selection,either. Just some comments,see you at the game- hope that it is injury free. Heading down on the bus.

This post is for Megatonbitch. You must be an angry miserable person. To put down a 17 yr old is pathetic. Heard was a big reason Wharton beat Cuero. According to you Wharton would have been better off if Heard wasnt on the field. You need therapy.

There has been plenty of talk about both teams. Only a little while longer until game time. This would should be great. This can be a statement game for both teams. Burnet can show everyone that the hype is for real. Wharton can prove all the critics wrong and play huge in a big game. Time will tell. Get 'em Tigers!

I can't believe that all I heard all week long was Kellen Heard when IMO ya'll have a good quarter back and secondary. And played a heck of a game I still have an upset stomach!

Could Rice have had the stats against Burnet that Wharton did? I truly don't think so. Wharton did things that no other team that has played Burnet has done all season! If Rice had beaten Wharton, then Rice WOULD have been playing against the teams that Wharton did, if I'm not mistaken. Wouldn't that have been interesting? Everyone who witnessed the game between Burnet and Wharton know what the real deal is, the rest who weren't are speaking about things they have no clue about. You truly had to be there to witness it to understand this.

Best of luck to ALL the teams still competing in the playoffs, and I do mean ALL!

Playa3, I hope you enjoy your crow too! I hope you don't choke trying to swallow it all.

LJB001, if rice had beat Wharton the playoff schedule would NOT have changed. Wharton would have gone D1 because of larger enrollment regardless of game results. Also, I didn't feel like our defense did that poorly, considering the competition. According to the Victoria paper, Burnet had 413 yards to Wharton's 431 yards. The big difference was that Burnet operated on a short field all night because of fumbles and bad decisions. I think we stopped them 6 times, with 3 picks and 3 punts. I feel like if you can stop an offense of that calibre 6 times your defense has played a heckuva game. Burnet is an experienced playoff team, and it really showed. Congrats to them and the best of luck throughout the playoffs.
