well i know i will here about this but i give bandera all the respect they got the job done. but i really feel that bandera could not beat marlin. WHY BECAUSE BANDERA WAS A POWER RUNNING TEAM. MARLIN D COMPLETY SHUT DOWN THE RUN ASK LAGRANGE. i talked to bandera fans the day they played their state game and fans their self said they did not want to play us because it was too much speed. i know u are about ready to go wild on me but listen. i think the winner out of the marlin bellvile game should have won state. why bellville didt beat bandera was this. after they beat us they felt like they could be stopped. so they slacked off feeling like it was going to be a walkthroug. the week before when we played bellville we were in the locker room in marlin watching film. a lot of people felt like we couldt lose. it seem like it was a fairy tale. we were beating everone by and avg of 14 points in the playoffs. we felt that since bellville barely beat fairfield ,we were going to blow them out like lagrange. really we praticed harder for lagrange than we did for burnet. so since we beat lagrange we thought it was going to be a cake walk into the state game but it wasnt. i think that if we had the chance to play bellville over we would have praticed harder. i remember when we were loading buses to leave marlin and we heard bandera was leading yoakum i think 24-7 in the early fourth quater we were already scouting bandera talking about what they got. i know some people on this board will not agree with this but this is what really happened. pratice makes perfect and we along with the rest of the town got bigheaded. but it was our mistake. people was saying that it would be a falls county day at the waco isd. rosebud-lott about 12 miles down the road playing for the 2a state championship. and marlin playing for the 3a championship. and if you really think about it if we had won that bellville game would our lost classmate be living now. because insted of going to the pre game party at rosebud lott that friday night he would have been at the pre game party in marlin. think about it,how stuff works out in strange ways.
