How many passing teams have you guys played? As of this coming Friday, it will be one. Football isn't always a game of which team is better, a lot of times it's a game of which team matches up better. I don't think your db's have been tested like they will be on Friday. I saw a post where someone said that Ingleside will be "forced" to rely on the big play. Got news for ya, that's what they've relied on all year long. That's what wins games for them. Look at their TD drives. 35, 50, 60-yard passes or runs are what gets the Mustangs into the endzone. If you have a great redzone defense, that's great, but it doesn't matter. IF you can shut down the passing game, kudos. I just don't see it happening. Sinton teams typically have problems with passing teams.

And I saw somebody say that Sinton's passing game is better. Come on, guys, get real. I'll give you the advantage everywhere else, but not the passing game. Be objective here.

How's that for facts, 94?

I'm not sure what facts you just gave us!

Again you passed on who?

Just to remind us later!

[Tidal Wave]

OMG lookin at those Stats I can assume that Inglesides defense is WEAK I mean look at the teams you gave up points too.Damn, no wonder you all(Ingleside) score good against those defenses cuz they are no good.Bishop scored 30 and Fal scored 21!!Come on now.Ingleside is overrated.End of Story.Come Friday they will see.

I changed my mind for the 100th time

Inglesides stays within 7 for a quarter then it gets out of hand

Sinton 14 7 7 14 42
Ingleside 7 0 7 0 14

IHSstang fan and bigdaddyruss what team do you think gave your team the biggest challenge this year and why?

Seriously now, I'm not trying to be cocky! Cuero and GP gave us hell because they were very big, strong, fast and two dimensional. Now I feel we matched up well with both teams, but we made some mental mistakes that cost us both games. I'll take those two losses every time because I feel they learned more from those two losses than any win they've had. Now even though I doubt you were at these games, I'm quite sure these games are why you think Sinton is weak on pass defense and you have every God given right to think so. Had we played Bishop and Fal. like you guys I'm sure we would be 9 and 0 right now with some un-believable stats but never tested. BIG DEAL! Now that's not a slam on Ingleside's program nor am I saying that Sinton is the biggest, baddest team in the state, it's just my comparison of two teams and how they rank! You both have said Ingleside will win by 3 points. I say Sinton will win by 28. Let's compare notes afterwards……...for fun of course!:D :D :D

[big daddy russ]

You're right about the strength of schedule. G-P and Cuero would wax most of the teams Ingleside has played. You're also right that we haven't played consistently strong teams. We played teams we thought would be good, but it just didn't pan out this year. Fal, OG, WO and Zapata were all matchups the coaches probably thought they could build on. My guess is that when Hesseltine got here and looked around at the talent, he figured Ingleside was probably on par with those teams. Two of those programs are well-established area programs that are having down years, one didn't wake up until recently and the other is a juggernaut who manhandled us.

Back to my argument, I don't have statistics to back it up, but statistics aren't the only facts you can use in an argument. Ingleside's defense can be exposed, but it's offense was only slowed by Zapata. This is also a new system, so the kids are getting better by the week.

I see Bellville coming out of nowhere and making a run through the playoffs for the same reason... because they're not peaking until late in the season. Ingleside's defense has done a good job the past two weeks. Not great, but good. The offense is actually improving even more. Webb and the receivers (from here on is hearsay) are finally getting on the same page and the youngsters are finally catching up to the speed of the game.

Maybe size is what caught you off-guard against G-P and Cuero, but I still say that your defense will need some time to adjust to a spread offense, and the last thing your coaches want is a shootout. Ingleside by a FG.:D :clap:

[99IHSMustang]

I think Ingleside no matter what we say will be underrated until either we beat Sinton this Friday or make some consecutive appearances to the playoffs. Wasn't it 2 weeks ago that everyone picked Aransas Pass to whoop Ingleside? If I am not mistaken even most of the Caller times fan votes went to AP. Don't be suprised Sinton fans if you see another upset in the making. I know Sinton is a great team but every dog has it's day and that might just be this Friday.

[pirate4state]

Channel 6 has Sinton vs. Ingleside as their game of the week. Both Art & the Caller Times guy picked Sinton to win. :eek: The Caller Times guy I can handle, but Art :eek: he never picks us!! :D :hairpunk:

I was looking at the Celebrity picks of the week at: http://caller.upickem.net/upickem/fans/vipsengine.asp?contestid=217&weekid=10

John Allen and Art Mack haven't picked anyone yet but the fan pick is at 88% for Sinton.

2003 Schedule & Results

Port Lavaca (weak 4A team) Lost 0-45
Orange Grove (lost in the 1st round to PI; 7-4 record) Lost 6-26
Falfurrias (lost in the 1st round to Lyford; 5-6 record) Won 34-21
Sealy (lost in the 1st round to La Grange; ?? record) Lost -46
Ganado (tough 2A team) Lost 6-48
*Taft - WON 19-18
*Mathis (lost in the 1st round to Hondo) Lost 0-26
*AP - Lost 19-22
*Sinton - Lost 7-44
*West Oso (lost in the 1st round to Devine) Lost 13-14

So, last year you played 6 teams that eventually made the playoffs, albeit they all (well, maybe not Ganado) lost in the 1st round. Out of those 6 teams your team only beat 1. IMO Ingleside's schedule was well balanced.

NOW

2004 Schedule & Results

Bishop (weak 2A team; current record 2-6) Won 52-30
Zapata (playoff contender; current record 6-0) Lost 22-51
Orange Grove (program not what it was last year; current record 3-6) WON 40-28
Taft (current record 1-6) WON 40-13
West Oso (current record 3-5) WON 37-22
Fal (current record 0-9) WON 43-21
AP (current record 6-3; but those 3 losses are in district) WON 33-7
Mathis (current record 4-4) WON 49-23

So, IMO scheduling this year has played a little factor in your record. Since you have almost the same team back, right?

Those are just my 2cents. :nerd: you do realize that....there are several of those that ARE...as i said...the same team?? LOL....did you even read the teams when you posted that?? w/ the exception of Ganado, and Sealy and Port Lavaca, its the exact same schedule....and the only team that'd really make a diff. as far as the stregnth of schedule would have been Sealy, so where is the point you are trying to make??

Last year Sinton started slow and Qb didnt look like he would be a good QB but they improved week after week and next thing u know they playing for Region Champsionship. i see Ingleside as improving about the same but it will have to wait til next year, because unlike last year Sintons team is already primed for Playoff Games.

Sinton 50
Ingleside 7

i also changed my score And Sintons Passing is better than inglesides as you will get to see first hand!

Sinton is NOT going to blow Ingleside out, and they will play Sinton harder than you seem to think. i would REALLY like Ingleside to beat Sinton...cause...to eat all the crow youll have coming...its gonna take a backhoe to shovel it all down your throat.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

:doh: :clap: :D :D :D :D First the Red Soxs now the Mustangs the world will come to an end if that happens. They will get blown away but ya'll thanks us for it as it will help prepare Ingleside for the playoffs :D :D Good luck to the Pirates 50 times and good luck to the Mustangs 7 times

[99IHSMustang]

I have to say this: I think that if Sinton loses this Friday, every one of you who said that Sinton was going to blow Ingleside out of the water has to officially post an apology for being arrogant and wrong. If Sinton wins I will have no problem giving credit were it is due. I am looking forward to seeing both teams play at there best on Friday. 23Hrs 20mins 5secs and Counting!!!!

And I repeat - Do not insult the Howling Bear! :mad:

Even by accident!

[sinfan75]

This game ain't gonna be a blow out, but Sinton SHOULD win 28-14. But if they come in to this game thinkin this will be cake walk then the Pirates could have a VERY long night and end up on the losin end of this game. Be confident but also be afraid of losin.

[sinpirate]

I've already posted Sinton by 30+. I happen to feel that Sinton is that good. I do not think of myself as arrogant, just confident in a very good team. They won't loose to Ingleside. I'll be back after the game, when the Pirates have done their job

[Ranger354]

I am gone for the day and you guys / gals have talked this game to death!

Let both teams play an injury free game!


Sinton gets behind on a couple of long IHS pass plays then comes back like a bunch of Rabid Pit bull dogs on steroids!!

Sinton by 21


Lets get ready to Rumble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and Mac's BBQ in Gregory sounds like a good pre-game treat! Maybe I will bring a few rib bones to throw to the dogs and calm them down.

[Tidal Wave]

You got it wrong, You got it all wrong........Sinton gets ahead by 14 real quick on interceptions baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ranger354]

Maybe.........Maybe Not.


Like I said in some earlier posts. I think Sinton will fall behind early on a trick play of some sort. They always seem to bite on these. Then they will come back like crazed dogs. At this time they will probably intercept a few passes and run maybe one or two back for TDs.

Sinton by 21..........................

[Ranger354]

I just read the Caller Times and according to them Ingleside is going to run all over Sinton from the spread formation.

Should I change my Perdiction??????????:confused:

What should I do?:thinking:

OK, I changed my mind. Sinton by 24. Jacks kicks an extra field goal.

Cool... Me too, I work with NMCI. We service most of the entire base.

[pirate4state]

A new day. Everyone take a deep breath, hold it, and exhale. Good, now lets get down to business. :D :D

After reading the article in the Caller Times, I'm wondering if the week off (for Ingleside) will be a pro or con?? :thinking: With teenage boys it can be a bit of both, I guess. Gives teams a chance to heal, but if they were in a rhythm before their bye week and then have 2 weeks of practice w/ no game, could make for a rusty/shaky (i.e. - false start penalties, incomplete passes, etc.) start. Yes/No?? Thoughts?

Which leads me to Sinton's bye week next week. :( I'm sure the boys are tired having played 9 straight and will welcome the bye. I just hope they can stay the course once the playoffs begin. :)

:cheerl: Good Luck Pirates brand those Stangs!! :cheerl:

I think this will help Sinton. Not only will they need a break, but they can start mentally preparing for the playoffs!

Just my opinion. :)

[District303aPastPlayer]

wow, 21 pages for one game .. . . Geeeezusss

[rgn4fb]

I agree that Sinton's bye came at a great time. The 1st playoff game should be against a not very good Hondo team from a pretty weak district. If the bye does make a 1st quarter lull, the Pirates should be in full force the rest of the game. If Hondo is as avg. as I hear, us regular fans may not notice much of a lull although the coaching staff may.

[pirate4state]

I had to work for a few hours & this slips to page 2?? Come on guys & gals -- everyone tired already?? Since we've been posting since Sunday?? :D

[IHStangFan]

GO MUSTANGS!! i think you guys will dig our new setup, new score board, play clocks in each endzone, the refs are are wired on the field...pretty neat.

Ha.....I have had heck getting anything done (at work) with all of the active threads this morning!

Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday! Regardless of the outcome, I will be able to eat and sleep after this one. You know, when Ingleside beat AP, I couldn't even talk to ANYONE for 2 days. I wasn't worth a darn for an entire week! Guess I can thank Sinton for getting my head back on straight.....:evillaugh :evillaugh

[Sinton94]

Sinton's bye is coming at the perfect time! We are going to need two weeks to clear the cowbells from our heads!

[Sinton94]

DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP!

This is the way it should always be! Two undefeated district teams battling for a district title at the end of the season. It makes for a great football game with an atmosphere that is almost play-off like, but with no one going home yet! Good luck to both teams tonight and in the play-offs. Our district will be represented well.:D :D

Hah, did you ever have the privilage, or displeasure, of seeing the giant bruise that was a result of his belly slaps? Traumatizing stuff right there.

Being from Mathis, I grew up around the guy. My mom taught him when he was still in school. I don't remember when he made his way to Sinton, but it wasn't long before he was back, along with his giant cup from Golden Fried Chicken. :D

I can only imagine what the bruise must look like!:(

Phil C. (Sinton) and MikeCheck (Mathis) were giving me some insight into Ramon's problems. I really wasn't making fun of him, he is just quite a topic of conversation due to his outrageous behavior.:)

I am really amazed by his memory for scores though ... kinda weird.:rolleyes:

Is he Autistic? If he is, that would explain why he is good with numbers.

Not sure, but I don't remember him having the physical appearance of autism. :confused:

[Blastoderm55]

Not too sure about autism, but I know he spent his days in the special ed classroom. That wasn't meant to be a joke either.

If you're coming from Port Isabel:

Do you know how to get to Port Aransas? We're the second town before you get there...

Take 77 all the way up to Sinton.

When you get to Sinton, exit @ Hwy 181 and take a right... 181 will take you through town and towards Taft and Gregory.

When you get to the edge of Gregory, you'll hit a Y (look for the railroad tracks crossing the highway... should be directional signs pointing you into Gregory). Bear left, heading into town. You should begin to see direction signs to Ingleside somewhere along here.

Go through town and under the underpass. Go straight through the first stop sign and round the curve to the T. At the T, take a left (you'll be on Hwy 361).

Look for the Ingleside city limits sign. It will be about 3 or 4 miles down the highway. After you see the sign, the road will curve right then back left. When you first see the hotel sign above the trees, start looking to your left. The hotel is a Comfort Inn or Quality Inn or something like that... one of those chains of hotels. Begin to slow down and the first street on the right will be Main Street. If you pass the hotel you've gone too far.

Take a right on that street and about 2/10 of a mile down you'll see California Street on the right. Head down there and it'll take you straight to the stadium.

Hope this isn't too confusing... Be safe on the way up.

[Tidal Wave]

what about coming down from Austin coming from the main highway

[sinton66]

If you come down I 37, take the Sinton exit just south of Mathis. It's like FM881 or something. Head east on 181 through Sinton, Taft, straight thru Gregory(181 curves right to Portland), and right on into Ingleside on 361.

[stallion02]

Im a virgin to this whole posting thing, hope i make it worth your time. I cannot believe there is 20 some odd pages hyping up this game. I just sat here and read through them all and i must say it got me pretty pumped. This is shapin up to be a game for the ages.

Ingleside has had some little punks comin up through the school the past couple of years, but apparently they can play some ball. Thats where i graduated from so i remember these little bastards. Maybe I'm not givin them enough credit. I'm a little torn on what to think. At first I heard they were an undersized team and just used their speed to spread the ball. But all of the sudden they've put together a nice little streak of wins and people are changing their tune sayin they're legitimate all-around.

I would love to see the boys go out there and light it up with some big-time plays and steal a win away from sinton. My high school experience left me with quite an inferiority complex to the pirates (what with y'alls excellent recruiting process and all ;) ). So it's hard for me imagine Ingleside takin a W outta this one. But tomorrow we shall see.

One thing I dont understand, is that everyone sayin the playoffs are a lock for both squads, so this game is a prep for the playoffs. There is still a very important district championship up for grabs. Let's not forget about that. Anyway, sounds like a great matchup of two well-coached teams. Cant' wait to see it. My call, sinton by 17 in a high-scoring affair.

peace

p.s. I know I'm a traitor, but i gotta go with my gut on this

[sinfan75]

Why did Sinton JV play G-P last night? Ingleside got no JV? Or did ya'll move em to varsity to try and intimidate Sinton? Won't work if ya did!:D It's game day so every body keep your mind on your job and not on the game or you'll get fired. Unless you're the boss. I'm off to work so see yall at the game. GO PIRATES!!

The Total Package
Sinton's Franco enters finale with 27 TDs

By Javier Becerra Caller-Times
October 29, 2004

West Oso coach Mark Guess said vision. Cuero coach Mark Reeve said speed and balance.

While the reasons may vary, there's no doubting Sinton senior Travis Franco's status as one of the top running backs in South Texas as the Pirates prepare for their District 30-3A finale tonight against Ingleside.

In nine games, Franco has rushed for 1,249 yards and an area best 27 touchdowns. He has scored 13 times in the past two games, including seven last Friday in a 53-12 blowout over Mathis.

Franco rushed for 147 yards and three touchdowns in a 43-13 Week 2 win over West Oso. Guess said it takes more than just physical ability to accomplish such feats.

"That guy can see everything," Guess said. "He sees things beyond what most running backs see. The effort that he gives on the field is extraordinary."

It has been lately.

Two weeks ago, Franco rushed for 211 yards and six touchdowns in a 54-9 win over Aransas Pass. Last week it was 138 yards and seven touchdowns against Mathis.

As productive as Franco has been, Sinton coach Jimmie Mitchell said the accomplishments are also a result of his attitude off the field.

"He's a special kid and a good person," Mitchell said. "Everyone likes to be around him and he doesn't let his success go to his head. He's just the type of kid that's out there having fun."

Franco said that's been easy to do with an offensive line that returned all five starters from a year ago.

The front wall of James Brown, Jim Bob Cook, Brian Garcia, Fred Rodriguez and William Schlinke has given Franco plenty of room to maneuver. Franco said it's because of the line that he's been able to become the area's scoring leader with an average of 18.7 points per game.

"I have to give all the credit to the offensive line," Franco said. "Without guys like that I can't do anything. That's where it starts, and from there everything falls into place. It's the offensive line that gets me into the end zone."

Franco has scored at least once in every game this season, including twice in a 35-28 loss to Class 3A No. 1 Cuero in Week 4. He also threw an 11-yard touchdown to Jordan Lamb that helped bring Sinton to within seven points of the Gobblers.

"We've seen some good ones, but the thing about him is that he's a real complete player," Reeve said. "You're not going to stop him, but you have to be able to slow him down. He assumes his role well and finds ways to get into the end zone."

A win tonight would give Sinton its fifth straight undefeated run at the district title. Even with a loss, the Pirates are all but guaranteed a sixth straight trip to the playoffs.

Franco said the team is after more than that.

"It means a lot to us going for five," he said. "Most of us have been a part of at least two. Going over to Ingleside's going to be kind of tough, but we're going to jump on them from the very start. We're going to dominate."

[Sinton94]

3A districts to be won this week
October 28, 2004

Javier Becerra - Caller Times

As was the case last week, district championships will be up for grabs between several area teams Friday.

For Sinton (3-0 district, 7-2 overall) to complete its fifth straight undefeated run at the 30-3A title, it must hold off a feisty Ingleside (2-0, 7-1) team on its home field. Meanwhile, West Oso (2-0, 4-4) hosts powerhouse Zapata (2-0, 8-0) in a matchup for the 31-3A crown.

All four teams are in line for a playoff spot, but to finish at the top would be better.

Sinton at Ingleside

Sinton coach Jimmie Mitchell said he has thought a lot about Friday's game against the Mustangs, but would prefer to not comment until it's over.

"They're a good football team and we're going to have to show up and play well," he said. "We'll just let things fall where they fall."

Aside from two losses to the state's top-ranked teams in 4A and 3A - 4A Gregory-Portland and 3A Cuero - things have gone just fine for the Pirates.

Powered by the legs of senior running back Travis Franco, the offense is moving along at an astonishing pace. Sinton is averaging nearly 50 points per game in district.

Franco has been hard to stop and has reached the end zone 13 times the past two games. The defense gave up 20 points to Goliad in the district opener, but only 21 combined in victories over Aransas Pass and Mathis.

Mitchell insists there still is much to be done before the playoffs start.

"Everyone hopes to be peaking at this time," he said. "We're happy about where we're at, but we have to continue to get better. When you get into the playoffs you have to be good at what you do, and I mean good."

Ingleside had a bye last week, which provided a little extra time to prepare for No. 7 Sinton.

After two weeks of practice, first-year coach Graig Hesseltine said the Mustangs are set to return to the playing field.

"We enjoyed the time off," he said. "We needed the extra time to get a few guys healed up and now we're ready to play. We're tired of waiting."

Unlike Sinton, Ingleside hasn't won a district title since 1995. The Mustangs won only one district game last season, but that hasn't kept the team from setting lofty standards.

"Making the playoffs was a goal of ours, but now we have a shot at the district title and we're excited to be here," Hesseltine said. "We're not satisfied. We'd definitely like to shake things up in this district."

Ingleside has the artillery to do so.

Quarterback Randy Webb and Brandon Stacy have been lethal working out of the team's spread offense. The speed both possess has been hard to match.

"They're both very athletic, but part of it is the style of offense we run," Hesseltine said. "It puts them into a lot of one-on-one situations in the open field. When you get kids like that out in the open against a defender they can make things happen."

Zapata at West Oso

West Oso appeared headed for disaster after opening the season with a 56-0 loss to Cuero. After rebounding with a win over Taft, the Bears went on to lose three of their next four games before the start of district.

However, hope was never lost.

"We knew that if we could survive the early part of our schedule we'd be ready for district," coach Mark Guess said. "I don't see any point in scheduling a bunch of weak teams in non-district. That's not going to make you better for district and the playoffs. All it does is give you a false sense of security. Now we're coming around at the right time."

The strategy worked.

Having absorbed losses to Cuero and former district mates Sinton, Aransas Pass and Ingleside, the Bears are in position to grab the 31-3A lead outright with a win over Zapata. It doesn't figure to be an easy task.

The Hawks are grinding out more than 480 total yards per game and have outscored their opponents an average of 41-9. Zapata also played Ingleside during non-district, a game the Hawks won 51-22.

That West Oso lost to the Mustangs 37-22 doesn't mean much at this point.

"We lost to Ingleside and they spanked them, but you can't just go by that because we're certainly a lot better now," Guess said. "Early on we were trying to get people in the right spots. We had a lot of young guys and were just trying to get them to learn their positions.

"After enough reps and game situations they finally got it and decided to come out and play."

[99IHSMustang]

Well.... It's Friday boys! Has the intensity of this forum worn out? It went to page 2.

[AP Panther Fan]

Thanks 94! Both great articles, especially the first one about Franco and his front line. This young man truly is phenomenal and it was nice to read him giving credit to his other teammates.:thumbsup:

[Tidal Wave]

Finally I get to what the hype is all about.Although I want Sinton to win by 35 I also wish for a good close game at the same time since I am driving 2 and half hours to see it...haha...Well whatever happens i wish the both of the teams the best of luck. I know I have been doubting ingleside lately but hey prove me wrong, thats why I am going to this game to learn more about em instead of assume through familiar opponents they faced with Sinton. Anyways Best of Luck to both Team

PIRATES YALL BETTER WIN!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

Ingleside lets see what u got its time to PUT UP OR SHUT UP..haha

Sinton by 7 if its close

Sinton by 35 if its the way I hope..

I think that Sintons defense is going to mysteriously get better in this game because the SeaWall is coming to town.HAHAHA

Sinton plays Bellville in Victoria. Cuero at Cuero. Those are big games. Inglesides idea of a big game.........Zapata at Cabiness. Come on!

[Phil C]

Sinton Freshmen beat Ingleside JVs last night 38 to 13. The Sinton JVs beat a G-P JV team 32 to 8. I don't know but maybe Ingleside didn't have enough freshmen to have a freshmen team by themselves.

[Phil C]

If you were coming to Ingleside from the valley wouldn't it be better to take 77N then when you get to I-37 turn west and go to Corpus Christi then take 181 N on to Portland then to Gregory (don't take Sinton exit!) go over the overpass at Gregory and then exit 361 to Ingleside. Lots of good freeway that way. And if you get confused at Gregory just stop at a convenience store and they will help you out. You are only about 6 miles away from Ingleside there.

You mean that they play HS football in other places? Well, for Sinton it is just the last game of the regular season and they already locked up a playoff spot, so why should this one be a big deal? District championships are overrated.... just make the playoffs however you can and then make a run! Ingleside really won't care either because they still can lose tonight and win next week and still get in... Why should it matter that much? <scarcasm filled>

[pirate44]

this game is big for Ingleside because it legitomizes the claim of them being a good team despite people saying they have a weak schedule. as for sinton, they are the calallen of south texas 3a football with a string of undefeated district seasons to protect. a loss for sinton would be like last weeks flour bluff win over calallen. very big game indeed.

[RiverRat19]

Calallen lost to G-P two years ago breaking a pretty long district winning streak. When FB beat them last week, it was big but Calallen had only had a streak of less than 10 district wins in a row..... Not to argue over trivia but I get your point.

Sure, its a big game for both sides. I just don't think it will be as close a game for as long as many people seem to think.

Did you catch the <scarcasm filled> part? He|| yes its big! Every district game in every district at every level is big. Everyone is excited in Ingleside (as they should) over this season's success and a chance to knock off the reigning district champion. What I'm saying is once its over both sides will get over and past it quickly, looking forward to what's next. If Sinton wins, they will get ready for the playoffs, confident in what they've already accomplished and Ingleside will buckle down for the showdown against Goliad and hopefully a playoff run. If Ingleside wins, they will also move on, get ready for Goliad and go into the playoffs as district champs with Sinton regrouping for their playoff run.

Would it be the end of the world either way? I don't think so.....

Does the game need to be played? Absolutely! Should be a blast! Get there early!

It was a good game. I was close on my call. I said Sinton by 21, but I'll take 25 any day.:) :)

[sinton66]

Why wouldn't they listen to us, Sinton81? We kept saying Sinton by 3 touchdowns.:rolleyes:

[GOFOR2]

Ingleside played with alot of emotion and prolly played their best game, but those officials were the highlight of the evening.
It is all a moot point, just feel better venting bout it.
Good Luck next week against a solid Goliad team.

[sinton66]

Bragging rights belong to the victor. No need to apologise for venting.:D

[Tidal Wave]

Congrats to Sinton

My score was sort of close..I said

Sinton 42
Ingleside14

Pirates you CANT start off slow like yall have been lately.Gotta get it goin from the get-go.Something I noticed different from this game and Cuero vs Sinton was that the Qb #7 scrambled alot more.Also Sinton didnt really pass that much.Either way they got the win.I think that Sinton will play La Feria in D2 in the second round I think if they play Zapata but if hidalgo makes playoffs then Sinton should play Zapata.IN MY OPINION if Zapata was up to par with all the Hype they have been receiving also then they should have beat West Oso by 14+ instead it was a close game..If Sinton plays La Feria then it should be a good game..La Feria has got a good D PI hurt their Qb when we played em so that is to Sinton's benefit.Either way should be a good one.If La Feria goes D1 and beats Zapata and plays a game against Sinton then I say Sinton by 14...PEACE

Sinton can't go D2. They're the biggest school in our district.

One thing about Ingleside is that they can't tackle. They just sort of dive at the player. But when you've got someone like Ramirez or Franco with the ball they'll just make Ingleside look stupid. Until they learn to wrap up they'll be a horrible D. An offense like Sinton's will kill them everytime.

Ingleside did a good job of tackling while on offense, thats for sure.

[Phil C]

Well this game is over now. Ingleside has one more game to go to see who gets second place with Goliad and then playoffs in Division 2 for both Goliad and Ingleside. Sinton is off with the bye and is now concentrating on the playoffs coming up in Division 1. It looks like we will face Hondo in the first game with maybe Crystal City having a very slim chance making the playoffs and maybe division 1. You can bet next week the coaches will be scouting around the state.

[Tidal Wave]

I meant to say D1..my bad

[big daddy russ]

Hey Phil, some Hondo scouts were sitting behind us in the Ingleside stands. They're getting ready.

[Tidal Wave]

Ya I saw em too when me and my friend at Whataburger in Sinton

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Hey Ingleside needs to run some time off the clock, they dont give there Defense any rest. Defense would be better if they were more fresh than tired, that one of the downfalls that happen to them in the 3rd quarter. Pirates coaching staff ran a good defensive scheme, but i can see if somebody else doesnt run a pass defense setup they could be in trouble.

[Kool Tarpon 21]

I really liked this game. Sinton started a little slow, but the REFS didn't help a bit. The Refs were horrible. They reminded me of the Port Isabel refs. Anyways, I wasn't impressed at all by Ingleside. They have 1 good receiver and the QB is not that impressive. I know Sinton was pressuring them, but I know the 'SEAWALL' will pressure them too. Congratulations to the Pirates. Great win. Good luck in the playoffs. I can't wait for the playoffs. Hahaha. Good luck to all the teams. Peace up, A-Town down.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

I dont see them winning in the playoffs against Teams with a Defense and no way they can keep with PI if they play them. But Ingleside is improving and next year they could be top 20 team

IMO, I think the back up (jr. Justin Ramirez) is the better QB. Coach Valdez, is known to favor Seniors at QB position regardless, thus Sr. Matt Garcia was at the helm.

[Tidal Wave]

True. But still thats one less good player.

At least the refs weren't one-sided in their suckiness.

[Ranger354]

Didn't Sinton play Hondo last year at Cabinas Field?

[PhiI C]

Yes Ranger. That was two years ago. If they play Hondo again it will probably be in San Antonio or we may have to go to Hondo.

[Ranger354]

Phil,

Thanks for the reminder on the Hondo game. And the last time I looked I wasn't a mom. LOL!!!!!

Why would we want to go North if we win the toss of the coin?

[PhiI C]

Oops! Sorry Ranger but I did a little fast editing. :) I think we won the toss with Hondo two years ago and that is why we played at Cabines. They get the choice this time I think.

[AP Panther Fan]

How about someone from neither community putting this thread .... to bed.! It has been fun and both teams will do what they do best....play football! Time to start new threads .... even though we did get hooked on this one!

It has been fun and I thank both communities for teaching me what the 3adl is all about!

Kindest Regards (blah, blah, blah....love to all)

(P.S. the team that will take you both out next year - how's that for trying to get the last word?):D :D :D

[Ranger354]

Don't you flip the coin every time? Or since we won the coin flip two years ago they get to choose?

And AP Pather Fan,

I am ready to start a new thread if I knew who Sinton was playing in 2 weeks. I just read that Hondo got beat. Are they still making the playoffs?

[sinton66]

I'll start one called "Sinton vs BYE". We can do all this on there.
