Bridgeport or Kennedale? [Archive]

I didnt believe in Bridgeport last year, but by the playoffs they were a solid team and kept on winning. I think it will happen again this year. I'll take Bridgeport. It definately should be a good game worth seeing.

Kennedale has won some game very decisively. Kennedale 23, Bridgeport 13

I pick Kennedale, last year Bridgeport barely won. Kennedale was up 28-7 in the 2nd Half. Then we just got lazy cause we were really confident. This year it won't happen. We proved we can stop the pass. Kennedale - 49 Bridgeport 21

Matthew,

This game is not set in stone yet, but unless Bridgeport or Decatur lose this week then yes we will see a great matchup in round 1.

I am by no means ready to say who will win this one. I do know Kennedale will come out fired up to revenge last years loss, and I know Bridgeport is capable of winning, what will happen? I guess I will wait for another week to post!

I agree with One, it looks to be a heck of a matchup if and when these two teams meet.Kennedale is the one of the top teams in
the state.They have certainly earned this writer and I believe the Bulls respect. I'll hold my prediction until later. We still have one more game to play before we can take the next step.
Good luck to Kennedale this week and as always
GO BULLS

A few things have to be considered in this suspected contest to take place next week. First of all, Bridgeport has to win this week to insure the chance to play Kennedale. If the Bulls lose to Sanger and LD beats Decatur, the Bulls are out. Fat chance that either of thiose are going to happen, so we'll do the the predicting. I really think you can slow down the Bulls attack fo r a couple of reasons. First, their running game is very suspect. It is not nearly what it was last year and that can create some problems in the play-offs. Secondly. B'port doesn't have but one major receiver threat in Krebs. Nichols and the rest disappear in the bigger games. Their outside receiver threat graduated which took a lot of pressure off of Krebs, but you better get him off of his routes early or he'll kill you. Thirdly, Kennedale's team speed is going to show up big time in this game with threats at too many different spots offensively. Finally, the Kennedale coaching staff has to have learned a great deal from last year's collapse and doubt it will happen again. Kennedale 45 Bridgeport 36 - if B'port can keep up, if not it could be worse.

I don't think that Kennedale has seen as good a passing offense as Bridgeport. I don't know about the speed of Bridgeport but I do know that Kennedale is very fast, but Im gonna go with Bridgeport. I think will be really close.

Looking at the big picture, I think Kennedale will walk all over Bridgeport- and a lot of other people!

bullbacker: how is the kid from I.P. working out? Is he going to make a hand for the bulls in the playoffs?

The One

11-04-2002, 10:27 PM

#1, Repeat what if Bridgeport throws the game this week and loses to Sanger. Then Bridgeport, and Sanger would advance and Decatur would go Div.1. Now there is not much chance of that, but you never know!

Pig, The new kid looks very good! I seen him last week on JV and he is an impact player, now the talent level on varsity is a big difference! This week against Sanger will be his first week on Varsity. If he is as good as he was on JV then its an immediate upgrade on D. This with the return of a couple defensive starters we've been without really should make our D much better then in past weeks, Just in time for the Playoffs!

MASH4077

11-04-2002, 10:40 PM

Decatur is Div.2 no matter what happens Fri. They have already set their Bi-District game with G.L. for Fri./15th at Southlake.

The One

11-04-2002, 10:46 PM

Mash, that is incorrect. There is a scenerio that if Sanger beats Bridgeport then Bridgeport, Sanger and Lake Dallas would all be tied for 2nd place. If this occurs then based on the point system Bridgeport and Sanger would advance. This would make Decatur the D1 school out of the 3. Now Mash dont get me wrong I am not saying Bridgeport would throw the game, would they?

leopards03

11-04-2002, 11:01 PM

Alright i have said somethings bout kennedale that i still think are true...kennedale has a very good offense and as everyone has said there defense has came around...but i still think if they run into a very good defense it will not look good for them...kennedale can play some ball but can there defense keep them in games...

I cant either as I am sure they would rather play Kennedale in round 1 rather in the regional final. I am also sure they would not want to see Decatur have to play Everman in round 1 either.

MASH4077

11-04-2002, 11:27 PM

I am going to ask for some honesty out of you,Do you think B'port would beat Decatur if they played again? I Don't because Decatur has more athletes on the field with more speed,and as in the first game the would shadow Krebs and make somebody else step up for the bulls.

bigbullbacker

11-04-2002, 11:48 PM

I personally would love to see Bridgeport throw the game against Sanger. I think it sucks that two of the best teams in the region have to play in the first round.

The One

11-04-2002, 11:53 PM

Truly honest here Mash, without a doubt if they meet again in the playoffs Bridgeport wins that game by 14 barring rain. That is being very honest. There is no way Decatur beats them again. I am going to be honest I was a little impressed with Decatur not so much at how good they are now but how good they will be in two years. Not to take anything away from Decatur they do have atheletes but Bridgeport beat themselves in that game, and it is proving costly now with a tough first round matchup. Decatur needs to take this playoff year to gain experience because it looks as if they are going to have two solid years to make a run!

How do you think Daugherity will play, if it is raining and freezing, it makes passing difficult. What happens to Bridgeport then.

11-05-2002, 12:08 AM

I didnt call you Egret Boy and I dont think your Eaglesrules. I also thought I answered your question while paying Decatur respect, after all they are the district champions.

wilcat, Look at the Decatur game, it was a monsoon and we didn't look good. It pretty much shut down the passing game in fact Daughtery rushed for 100 yds in that game if that tells you anything. This past friday night was the coldest game we have played in this year and Daughtery passed for 346yds, also had some rain mixed in there. We will definatley be praying for dry weather not concerned with the temp!

MASH4077

11-05-2002, 12:14 AM

apreciate the honesty,but we'll have to agree to disagree on the outcome of a rematch,but I hope it happens just for the pure fun and atmosphere it would create. Good luck and we'll see you in about 3-4 weeks.

wildcat834

11-05-2002, 12:26 AM

If it is raining, and stopping Daughtery from running is all Kennedale has to be worried about, then Bridgeport is in bad shape, cause there is no way that they can slow Kennedale offense.

The One

11-05-2002, 12:34 AM

Dont be so sure there wildcat, I agree our defense has been in bad shape but we have had some key injuries. This Friday we should have 4 new starters back on D and it will be a little bit different story. At the beggining of the year our defense was much improved from last year and then week 3 came and we got hit with the injury bug. Well there back now just in time for the playoffs and just in time to stop Kennedale!

repeat2002

11-05-2002, 12:45 PM

Mr One
I am a little miffed as to why you feel that a dry field would make a 26 point difference v Decatur? I understand that B'port is a passing team and the rain is not good for that. However, I have seen Decatur play and they look to be a passing team also. They just seem to have a running game to go with it. Why would a dry field make 26 points difference? Is not Decatur pretty good? Could it be that the defensive game plan to stop the Bulls was pretty good? I know that both teams had turnovers in the game, but that is part of the game. Usually the team that makes the least mistakes, wins. No matter the conditions. I also understand that everyone has his loyalties and ideas about predicting games, but give me a break. Bridgeport is not going to beat Decatur by 26 points on any field this year. Both teams have wonderful offenses and they are a lot of fun to watch for the fans. A whole lot more fun thatn three yards and a cloud of dust. Good luck to both teams in the play-offs. Maybe we will get to see them play again. however there are some teams out there that might have something to say about that (Kennedale, Perryton, Canyon, Sweetwater, Greenwood, just to name a few)

The One

11-05-2002, 01:14 PM

Repeat, if you were at that game and sit there and say that rain didnt play in that loss then you may need to watch a few more Bridgeport games. I am the first to point out that Decatur has a good team and that Bridgeport got outcoached. If you think a seasoned playoff coaching staff and playoff team would allow that to happen again in a regional final then Deactur better try to learn some stuff in this playoff run of theirs or it might be shortend. Truth is if these two teams played played 10 times Bridgeport would win 6 or 7 times. Decatur had a good game plan and the Bulls didn't. Trust me if someone has to end yalls streak their is not a team that wants that opportunity worse then Bridgeport. Guess we will have to see how the brackets fall.

Texas11

11-05-2002, 01:51 PM

Kennedale has some really good defensive backs. They also will be looking to revenge the loss they suffered last year. No matter what happens it is still going to be one hell of a game.

repeat2002

11-05-2002, 03:19 PM

Mr One
I did not say that the rain was not a factor. Why would Decatur not have played better in the dry? Maybe Bridgeport does beat Decatur 6 or 7 out of 10 times. We'll never know the answer to that question will we. I just don't see a 26 point turn around. I think if both teams are fortunate enough to return to a rematch in the Regional Final, it would create a tremendous game. How do you feel that Bridgeport's game plan will be changed? How was a"play-off seasoned coaching staff" outcoached? They just got outplayed offensively and defensively. I don't see their game plan changing. It had rained all week. How can you not prepare for it? They prepared for it, thay just didn't have the horses that night.

repeat2002

11-05-2002, 03:31 PM

Mr One
I don't think I ever said the rain wasn't a factor in the first meeting. I just don't see a 26 point turn around in a second meeting if both schools should be so fortunate. I don't understand why Bridgeport is going to play so much better a second time. What's to say that Decatur will not play a lot better the second time. Why do you feel that your "play-off seasoned coaching staff" was outcoached? Didn't it rain all week prior to the game or at least the weather reports I saw were predicting rain for that night. I'm pretty sure that a coaching staff, with all their play-off experience, would have been prepared for the rain. Decatur just outplayed Bridgeport offensively and defensively. Rain or shine, if they play again, it will be another good game. Bridgeport may win 6 or 7 out 10. The only problem with that theory is that they will only play one more of those ten and I'll take my chances with Decatur to win the second of their 2 or 3 before Bridgeport gets their first out of 6 or 7. Good Luck with Kennedale!

BportFan

11-05-2002, 10:15 PM

My gut feeling is that Bridgeport will struggle to stop Kennedale's running game. The Bridgeport defense has not proved that they can make critical stops in games. I have seen them give up big yaradge on too many critical 3rd & 4th down conversions. I think Bridgeport will be able to score some points and move the ball. Bridgeport's offense has done the big flop against two good teams. Will they do against another good team? I think they will come out and play up to their potential and I am sure Kennedale will do the same. How many close games has Kennedale played in this year? I think one. Their big win over Everman. I am going to go with Bridgeport but by a very small margin.

Hi all,

I am enjoying the talk about Bulls vs. Kennedale. I will join in some after this Friday's game and we get everything finalized for our meeting.

I know it is a really long shot that it won't work out, but first we have to take care of business and make sure the Bport Kennedale matchup is set up.

Looking forward to talking this up, it should be a great matchup!

Get 'em Bulls!!!

wildcat834

11-05-2002, 11:19 PM

I disagree with all of you, Kennedale should be able to win this game. They have three good running backs that can take it the distance. They have one of the best receivers in 3A, and An All State Tight End. There line however is a little weak!! Bridgeport does have a great passing game, but Kennedales defense is much better than last year. The secondary has some of the best atheletes on the team. Kennedale does have a hard time pressuring the quarterback though, so the secondary will have to be on top of their game. It will be a great game, but I expect the outcome to be different this year.

Kennedale: 41
Bridgeport: 28

Kennedale has some of the fastest and strongest DB. Rex is very quick, and so is Jason. Our defense can come up big in tight situations, just like against Everman. We stopped them on a couple crucial 4th and 1 possesions. Even though our secondary may get burned, B'Port has no chance against out run game. If anyone remembers last year, KENNEDALE WAS UP 21-7 at half-time. Then we got lazy, and basically gave the game away. B'Port didn't make a run until the 4th quarter, where we totally just gave up.

11-09-2002, 04:49 PM

I arrived at the Vincent Tucker exhibition game in the 4th quarter. Rex Harper was smiling from the sidelines with ice on his right knee. I don't know what happened but I'm guessing a deep bruise. He should recuperate for Friday. In the meantime Rocky Smith picked up the slack.

For all who question that one loss to Crandall, remember.... that was Bryan Barrett's first game as quarterback. He has since settled in as a player that doesn't make many mistakes.

As for the Sanger game.....what happened? Is Bridgeport sand bagging or what?

I'm not sure what you mean by sand bagging, but basically, we're playing like crap. This year seems like a complete reverse of last year. Last year, we struggled early and got better and better as the year progressed. This year, we came out of the gates strong, and now we're barely limping into the playoffs.

If we can't play better than we did last night, we don't deserve to beat anyone. And we won't beat Kennedale.

eighterman

11-09-2002, 05:20 PM

Did I miss something One, or did Decatur not play in the same monsoon, and if I remember we did not have any trouble passing or running the football. I know i don't remember the moon coming out when we had the ball and it start raining when the Bulls had the ball. That game is over and I wish both teams great success in the playoffs. If they do meet again that would be great for our district. Good luck against Kennedale and good luck to Decatur against Glen Rose

Hey to all you Kennedale fans and players.....I have a question for you. I want to know why you guys didn't BLOW OUT Glen Rose? The stats for Glen Rose look like they didnt do much. I just want to know why ya'll only put up 24 points on them. I play for Castleberry and we put up 41 points on them but we lost, and i figured you guys would have put up 50+.

Wildcat2004

11-10-2002, 06:54 PM

That Friday night it poured the whole game in Glen Rose. Our backs couldnt cut because the ground was soaked. On top of that our starters had not played a full game in 3 weeks.

KTownBalla

11-10-2002, 07:03 PM

Exactly what Wildcat 2004 said. In a soaked field, how r you supposed to cut. I could barely walk out there much less run. Rex can't run and cut at full speed, if he did, he would busted his butt. Yes, we will beat Bridgeport. As stated, our defensive backs our much improved over last year. They were slow last year, we have speed now. Barrett should be throwing the ball this week too...hopefully. Hope u can catch 27!!!

Kennedale has what it takes to beat bridgeport. A talented backfield and a motive. Alot of points will be scored. Expect Kennedale to start early and not stop until the end. However, Brigeport is capable of coming back, if down in the game, as they did last year. If kennedale stops the pass bridgeport doesnt stand a chance. If bridgport stops the run, expect a long night for kennedale.

Crap why don't we go ahead and hand you guys the state title rings afterall your so great. I have been holding off on predictions but I'm going to say Kennedlae is out of the playoffs by the end of round three at the latest. your far to cocky, arrogant, and showy. Exactly how Everman came into the Kennedale game. We know what the ressult of that one was.

11-13-2002, 11:17 AM

It's just confidence Eve, don't be such a prick.

I can guarantee that Kennedale is not even thinking about round 3 or state.. They are thinking about Bridgeport.

Bridgeport has the ability to beat anybody in the state... and yes eve that includes Everman.

Look I was just trying to state my opinion. Several of the posters on here seem to think that Kenedale already has the state championship sown up. I would disagree with this idea. You don't think I don't know anyone can loose on any given night i think I found that one out in week four. Unfortunately I have been reminded about that on a constant basis. It's gotten to the point now where several faculty members from Everman can't even go out in public without having someone from Kennedale rub in the fact that they beat us. The game happened almost seven weeks ago now. I think its time to move on. It appears that your coaches and players have moved on and for that I'm very grateful. I know your football team a little better than you might think.

evebulldog01

11-13-2002, 05:32 PM

By the way to all kennedale players I hope you prove me wrong about being out by round three I would like to see you guys win a state title. Believe me when I say this we can hate each other all we want during the regular season but now its playoff time and we should be supporting each other. It would be great to have a sweep by District 8-3A but like you have said its time to start thinking one game at a time.

K town I have no doubt you guys will be motivated and be much improved from last years team. This game will most likely be determined by turnovers. For Bridgeport to win they will need to play flawless football. If Bridgeport does that then this game will be too close to call if not then it could get out of hand!

I think the game will be decided by 4 pts.

Well I have been just sitting back and reading all the post about Bridgeport. I have finally decided it was time to post.

Bridgeport 38
Kennedale 27

Bridgeport's coach has most likely worked on several things this week to help us win the game and if #16 does what he is capable of doing the game should lean towards Bridgeport. Newest member of the defense should keep Kennedale busy along with our good LB.

How can you people decide who has the coaching edge if you don't really know the coaches. Kennedale's head coach used to be the OC at Everman, then the head coach at Godley where they went to the playoffs at least three of the seven years he was there. Last year, in his first year at K-town they went four deep. Of course, being the type of man he is, he'll tell you the kids are the reason for the successes. I agree but, I also feel he played a major role. K-town's DC is a very experienced coach and was also a part of K-town's season last season and some of those playoff years at Godley. There are at least three assistants on that staff with at least ten years experience. I don't really know about B-port's staff cuz I'm not from that area but, I'm sure they have some good coaches. So, unless you know both staffs and the inner workings, I don't feel you can give an edge to one staff over the other.

Bridgeports head coach came from Flower Mound Marcus where he was a Off Cor.
As for as coaching edge you would probably have to go with Bport simply because of last year. Like I said in another post anytime you give up a big lead in a playoff game some of the blame has to go to coaching.

Thats why I say Bport has the coaching edge.

You can't blame the comeback solely on the coaches. A coach's job is to prepare the kids and get them where they need to be; once they are there, the kids have get the job done. I did not see the game last year but I heard that the K-town kids quit playing as hard. Maybe B-port's kids played harder in the 2nd half which is a credit to their kids. I know part of coaching is motivating kids but a coach can only motivate so much.

KK Pop,
I agree that a coach can only do so much. Guess we will see tonight who does the better job. Goodluck to both sides tonight and lets hope that both teams bring their A games.

PS
Everyone have a safe drive home.

I know part of coaching is motivating kids but a coach can only motivate so much.I believe you've got the answer in your quote KK. Kennedale's kids didnt play as hard in the second half, I guess there coaching staff didnt do as good of a job motivating them in the second half. There's your answer and that is why I agree with bull backer that if their is an edge in coaching it would probably go to Bridgeport for their victory last year.
