Maybe we've been going about this all wrong...

Who says Gilmer, because of new players, will be able to coexist... what if some players don't like it.. .and they are some of the vocal leaders of the team? and they fall flat on their face...

(no offense to any of the gilmer folks, just posing a scenario)

[lostaussie]

did you hear Larry Brown got fired today by the knicks. hell, i even heard the hired Isiah thomas to replace him:D

[Ranger Mom]

I think that is a very realistic scenario! I have seen it happen before.

When teammates don't get along, or some teammates feel slighted for some reason, it can change the entire dynamic of the team!

they have so much talent it will be had for anyone in 3a to be competetive with them no matter what happens internally.

why are we posting all the possible way Gilmer could fall on there faces. No disrespect to anyone but if i posted this same exact thread and put Cuero instead of Gilmer I would get jumped by 15 people in an hour and I have always liked Gilmer so i got there back

Was Hutto a better team? Not disrespecting Hutto at all, just curious. I never saw them, but I did see Cuero and I couldn't imagine anyone that could hang with those boys.

Anyone out there see both teams more than once?

And you know, I hear that all the time. But that wasn't the question.

For anyone wondering about the question, I'll make it simple:

If Cuero and Hutto played 10 times, how many times would either/or win? 5-5? 6-4? 9-1? 10-0?

Like I said in the first post, no disrespect for Hutto. I just want a legit answer. I've never seen the Hippos once in my life. They may have been as talented as Cuero, or they may have just been one of those teams that learned to work as a team and made each other better. I want to know which it was.

I saw Hutto played once and Cuero none I thought Hutto was good but i think they played together and made each other better. Cuero i think had to have more talent from what I heard from all around the state but Hutto could run it at will with there backs and linemen

[Highschoolfan78]

ooooooo i love math problems... this would be a probability question my mom once taught me this.. hmmmm Hutto vs. Cuero ten times... let me write down the 10... the same refs show up...same intense crowds, same ugly orange UT impersonation jerseys... then there could be many different outcomes.. the math hurts my head... what matters is 2006 is a new year and hutto, canton, tatum, wimberley are all equal to any other team in 3a with the record of 0-0 right now.. IDK this post really doesnt make all that much sense now that i think about it.. Maybe i should just go to sleep

You can be loaded with talent every year, and still fall flat on your face, if you dont have the coaching that can handle it. Just look at Lubbock Estacado the last few years. Abilene High is loaded with tons of talent every year, but look at all those lean years they had. I'm sure most of us could make a long list of teams that should be alot better than they are, with the talent level they have. That being said, I believe Gilmer is the real deal, and has the coaching to go along with all that talent. But you never really know how it's going to all play out. All it takes is one bad apple to rot the whole barrel, but thats where good coaching comes in. Good coaches know alot more than just the Xs & Os. They almost have to become a second father to these boys, to keep their heads screwed on streight. If Gilmer is as successful as many of us think they will be, it will be every bit as much due to good coaching, as it will be due to talent level.

Hutto was a great team playing as a "team". They may have not had better talent than Cuero, but Hutto played better as a unit that night. To say it was a fluke is just crazy. Hutto by far had the hardest schedule to make it to the championship game
teams Hutto beat
Giddings 10-3
Rice cons 8-3
Marlin 9-2
Bridge City 10-2
Cameron Yoe 13-1
Cuero 13-1
Lost to Tatum 34-38 which went 15-0

the simple fact is this... cueros talent last year was as good as most teams "All Time HS teams." I saw them play 4 times... and really, the Hutto team was the only team that truly got a groove goin and figured out something about Cuero. If they played 10 times, i'd say 7-3 to Cuero. They did something that Liberty Hill didn't do.. Run the ball effectively. Now dont get me wrong, liberty hill gave cuero all they could handle... but Hutto had some good breaks with guys being out of place at the right time.

Good point! And I think the opposite can be said as well - there are teams that would not do as well without the coaching staff they have. IMO, the combination is what makes the TEAM.
