Who runs the ball best?---I see em' this way:

1.Liberty Hill (Best balanced rushing attack in 3A)
2.Giddings (mainly 1 man show with Fitzhenry)
3.Sweetwater (Thunder-Banyard and Lightning-Green)

are you saying LH is balanced because they use more guys to run the ball??? Cuz I wouldn't think of 90% run/10% pass as being "balanced."

This should be good. Of these 3, I have only seen LH play. They run that "nasty slot" to perfection!! :clap:

Definitely because of the "4-headed monster".

Cuero Can run the ball very well with Olguin, Hargrove, Whittington, etc., but they also throw the ball equally well...nice problem to have! ;) Heard our 6'2" 215 lb. fullback was moved to running back last week to give Olguin some rest, and did very well.

Giddings is the best rushing team in 3a.

It doesn't matter how many runners each team uses to run all that matters is the end result. But by the way Giddings has Brandon Johnson, Brock Fitzhenry and Devane Jarmon all great rushers.

that's all well and good, but what happens if you come across a team that can stop that run? Believe or not, there are good defenses out there.

Giddings- 2067 yds in 5 games averaging 413 yds per game. (Fitzhenry 947 yds, Jarmon 457 yds.......doesn't look like a one man show)

Sweetwater- 2135 yds in 6 games averaging 356 yds per game.

Giddings and Sweetwater over 2000 yards in 5 & 6 games? That's pretty impressive.

Greenwood is not quite there but has a pretty balanced rushing attack with 3 different guys over 400 yards. Each one of them has had at least one 100 yard rushing game.

Total - 1750 yards (283 yards a game)

Washington - 646 yds
Williams - 476 yds
Flowers - 433 yds

I agree with all these teams mentioned but the one thing I don't understand.....being a former lineman myself.......the credit for the guys getting so many yards on the ground is their lineman. If it weren't for the guys in the trenches there would be no ground attack. Hats off to the big guys up front, you are the real heroes, you just don't get the credit or score the TD's.

I did not mean to ignore the contributions of the other Giddings running backs--I, like everyone else in the state, are keenly aware of the tremendous numbers being put up by Fitzhenry--thus the "1-man show" comment. Looking back, I meant that Fitzhenry was the "star", but it just doesn't roll off the tongue and fit right to say "1-star show".

Cuero through 6 games against some pretty talented teams:
Rushing - 1239 yds. Passing 1204 yds. Total Yds - 2443 For an average of just over 407 yds/game. :clap:

That might not qualify us for best rushing team, but its got to qualify us for most balanced team ;)

I believe I heard that Sweetwater didn't even ATTEMPTt a pass in their 35-0 #600 victory over Borger last Friday. Think they had close to 450 yards on the ground.

Hey. . .trying one is at least a step up from the norm! :D

Why throw when no one can stop your run game?

Rockdale newspaper has LH with 2203 total offense & 2053 in rushing. thats alot on the ground, I'd say LH as far as rushing only.

Thanks for helping me out here.

I am so tired of everyone saying that Fitzhenry is the only person on the team.

And yes Giddings runs almost exclusively and if you think that it’s as simple as putting a lot of guys in the box to stop the option ask Hutto and Wimberley how well that worked. I'm not saying that you won't be able to slow it down you might but it will be almost impossible to stop it.

no joke...the one pass we did put in the air should have been complete but it wasn't..either way...our running game is not hurting at all..with 4 backs that can run down your throat i think we are alright

Last year Liberty Hill was rushing for a bajillion yards per game. Over 500 per game as I recall. Reeve came up with a game plan and it was never close. Pure running teams never seem to win it all. Pure spread passing teams never seem to win it all. You have to be able to do both to adapt from week to week. You have to take what the defense gives you.

We were also missing our biggest rusher. ;)

If you do nothing but run, you are gambling that no one in the state will be able to stop the run. Sooner or later, someone usually does. If my team was up by 35 or so, I'd probably get some work in on passing, just in case passing becomes a necessity in the future. That's just me, time will tell who's right.

My question is what Gidding schedule looks like?

Gave #10 Wimberley their only loss, did the same to #9 Hutto, defeated 4A Waco Midway, beat a good 2A Hempstead and won over 4A Houston Kashmere. Next game is against 5-0 La Grange and will later play #15 Bellville.

Tell that to the 1995 and '96 Nebraska Cornhuskers.

We lost our best runner vs. barbers hill when cooper ripped up his knee. Abbs (33) and Chaney (10) now run the ball mostley. But they are just as threatning with Harris (5) still at flanker. The most credit goes to the experienced offencive line.

Bellville throws quite a bit more than some of these primary running teams.

Silsbee is avg. 330 yards rushing a game but only 50 yards passing a game for a total of 380 a game. To be fair, Silsbee has only attempted 25 passes in the first 5 games, avg 5 per game with an avg. of 2 completions.

i guess he means a balanced running attack of power up the middle with the guys that can break em outside the tackles.
