wouldnt have the depth to win 4A. THey would get worn down more then likely. COuld they beat some 4A teams? Yes. Could they win all of 4A? NO

Absolutely not. Why dont we wait and see if they win 3A then talk about how good they might be in another class. After wathing Copperas Cove I dont think anyone in 4A can beat them (them being Copperas Cove).

Texas High, Marshall and probably Sulphur Springs would all beat Gilmer in the region. Texas High is head and shoulders above Gilmer "talent-wise", and Marshall just played 5A Longview to within a field goal.

I'm sure this discussion would be flattering to our kids, but across the state, there is too much strength in 4A for Gilmer to seriously compete for a title.:)

They would be a good 4a team but not top 10.

09-13-2006, 10:42 AM
I think Gilmer could compete well with the 'big boys' simply because they have such quick strike capability

by 'compete well' I mean the top 4A teams would probably beat Gilmer the majority of the time but Gilmer would get their share too - just that the odds are certainly against them. I think the bigger pound'em teams would be especially tough on Gilmer.

but as someone else says - they havent even won their district yet ..........

No, no, no, no, no. Gilmer may not win 4A, but they'd be one of the top teams in the state. They could hold their own with Calallen, Denton Ryan, Highland Park, Stephenville, and all those other second-tier teams. They're right on that level and are at around the same talent level as the top teams, they just don't have as much.

The Buckeyes aren't a Brenham, Copperas Cove, or Texas High, but they're not very far behind.

I don't care if you're 4A, 3A, or six-man, if you have five or six legit D-I prospects, at least four of which are blue-chippers, chances are good that you'll be successful at most levels.

And you guys had a legit shot. Think about it, ya'll took one of the best 4A teams in the state into OT back in 1999 before bowing out of the playoffs, then you just kept getting better through 2001.

Yeah, the cream of the crop in 3A can compete with the cream of 4A, just the same as the cream of the crop in 2A (Tatum) can win a 3A state title.

I don't think they would win 4A, but I think they would make the playoffs, Wow could you see Gilmer in District 12 4A with, Kilgore, Hallsville, Marshall, Jacksonville, Nac, Pine Tree and Whitehouse. That's pretty salty. I think they would make the playoffs.

I am on record as saying that. I think they easily could have beaten Denton Ryan that year.

Very, highly unlikely that Gilmer could win state in 4A. Could they make the playoffs? Yeah, I believe they could. Could they make a run 2 or 3 rounds deep? Yeah, I believe they could do that too. But to win state in 4a is a bit of a stretch.

Everman won in 2001 & 2002

in 2001 the 4A champs were
Division I - Denton Ryan 42, Smithson Valley 35 (OT)
Division II - Ennis 21, Bay City 0

in 2002 the 4A champs were
Division I - Texarkana Texas 42, New Braunfels 11
Division II - Denton Ryan 38, Brenham 8

i watched both teams on two occasions that year and I stand behind my opinion on the matter. everman was the second best team in 3a ever that year. Second of course to Daingerfield.

Hypothetical threads are the most difficult of all to debate because there is no standard to compare against such as actual scores, etc. I personally enjoy the "what if" threads, but it is sometimes hard to understand why some posters get genuinely mad at another poster's opinion----even though some posts are positively outrageous by anyone's standard. It is like trying to get a correct answer to the question---"What does life on other planets look like?"

Cuero is very good, but Sinton is nowhere near where they need to be to be labled a "good Sinton team".

I haven't seen Gilmer play, but I believe the KING :D and would welcome a Cuero-Gilmer game!! Hopefully, Gonzales can oblige. Sorry, Gonzales fans.

This is ridiculous.

Let's see if they can win 3A first. At the end of the year, IF they win the state title, then would be the time to ask this question.

With that said, there is usually enough separation in overall talent level between the best 3A schools and the best 4A schools that would make the 4A schools the favorite to win almost every time.

Until ESPN calls them the greatest team ever, I don't think we should even discuss it.
Seriously, Gilmer is apparently very good. Hopefully I'll get chance to see them this year, maybe against Cuero (or Bellville).

Would ESPN compare them to the 05 Trojans? Apparently they invented the game last year at USC. Gilmer could be the second coming.

I don't understand what you're so mad about. The question posed was COULD they win 4a. In other words, is there a realistic possibility that they could get through the 4A state playoffs.

If it were Liberty Hill or most other 3A teams, I'd say no. But it's the same with most 4A teams that aren't in that upper echelon. Gilmer and Cuero could both put the scare of a lifetime in any 4A team out there, and I think Gilmer could very well made it to a state title game in 4A.

Not that it WOULD happen, just saying it COULD.

Umm...what makes you think I'm mad?

Whether it's "WOULD" or "COULD", it's only two games into the season. We don't know how good Gilmer is yet, and we also don't know the best 4A has to offer yet. It's just a little silly to speculate at this point. I'm also saying that there is "usually" enough separation between the "best" in 3a and the "best" in 4a that the 4A champ would be the "favorite" to win almost every time.

Relax, BDR...this isn't an angry thread.

All i have to say is its going to be tough to beat Gilmer this year. If any team beats Gilmer this year it will probably be one of the greatest games of the year. I honestly cant see anyone hanging with them there to talented. For one Gilmer hasnt punted the ball yet this year. Secondly gilmer practically scores everytime they get the ball. Third if you beating the Buckeyes your gonna have to score at least 40 points. Tatum defending state champions could only score 21 points against us and they have a wonderful offense and I believe they will bring another state championship home with them in 2a. I think this years team could honestly beat tons of 4a teams this year they might not would win it all but you couldnt count them out. If you really wanna know how good they are this year you should go to a game 3 hours early because if you dont your probably not going to get a good seat.

In 2000 when La Grange won state they opened the season playing 4A Bay City in La Grange. Bay City won 28-7. [More depth, more speed and more D1 players.] Bay City won state as well. The next year, with 23 seniors returning including 9 starters on O and 8 on D they played again in the opener HEB Classic in the Alamo Dome. Bay city won 9-0. La Grange went on to the state final losing 14-11 to Commerce. Bay City lost in the final to Ennis. When the best 3A teams meet the best 4A teams you will see the difference in depth of talent. Usually the 4A team will have two or three D1 caliber players while the 3A team will have one or two. That, plus overall depth in both O and D (fewer two way players) spells victory for the 4A teams.

There probably isn't another high school of any size in Texas that has as many division 1 recruits as Gilmer.

How many do they have verbally committed already?
I know 4A brenham already has 7 verbally committed to d-1. Will probably be a few others that go to lower divisions or jr colleges. May have been others that would go d-1 but won't because of grades.
Not sure about the underclassmen there as to what to expect recruiting wise down the road.

But, yes, apparently gilmer has excellent team.

NO! They could do well for a while, but when it came to playing a team like Brenham or Texarkana Texas High they have no chance(most don't have a chance in fact).

Gilmer has about 10 kids (Juniors and Seniors) that should/will play D-1 football. Currently, there are only 3 who have committed; Curtis Brown to Texas, Dominique Buchannon and G.J. Kinne to Baylor. Jamell Kennedy has received offers from UTEP, SMU and 1 other school that I can't remember right now. All 4 of them are seniors. Justin Johnson, a Junior RB, is rated as the #2 overall prospect in the nation for the class of 2008. So Gilmer has a lot of D-1 talent. And they are deep. They only have a handful of kids that actually play both ways and have 0 kids who start on offense and defense.

When it comes to the top teams in 4a, I believe Gilmer would still be able to put up some fairly big numbers on offense, but where we would get beat would be the defense. Teams like Texas High would just pass all over us.

I want in on that bet. but I doubt you would pay up, plus you already wrong on that one because Tatum lost by 3 tds and a field goal, not 4tds;)

24 points is four touchdowns. He didn't say anything about extra points!:thinking:

I don't know. I read on one website that they had either 8 or 9 d1 recruits before the addition of kinne.
