Region I Game of the Week (10): Canyon @ Dalhart

[LH Panther Mom]

The Canyon Eagles will be in Dalhart to take on the Golden Wolves in this district 5 game.

The two seasons prior to this, Dalhart had won only 1 game total. They have made a huge turnaround this year and have seen much success on the field. They are 8-1 overall, with their only loss coming in district to Perryton. Can they pull off the win over a tough Eagles team?

The Eagles are currently 7-2, and are undefeated in district. Their losses come at the hands of Sweetwater and Snyder. Can they continue their district winning streak?

Thoughts? Predictions?

watch out for Canyon, if this fellow is even allowed to play again! This is from the Perryton game last Friday. It was broadcast on Amarillo TV.

I did read that the Canyon coaches jerked him from the game, to their credit. However, if he's playing this week, I don't think they did enough.

As for the game itself, appears to almost be a toss-up. Canyon's Anthony Ramos continues to put up huge numbers, accounting for 425 yards of total offense in the Perryton game. Dalhart, on the other hand, continues to surprise the Panhandle with their 180-degree turnaround, and GRIT. Canyon's defense continues to be a little porous.

I think Ramos will pull off the win by 14 points, as the Eagles have the edge in big games.

Ya, I'd say that's a bit uncalled for. He should be suspended a few games, if not kicked off of the team.

okay well as it was uncalled for, and not too wise to do it out in the middle of view, you can't say that those things don't go on all the time in the thick of things. he was rightfully held out of the rest of the game, but shouldn't be kicked off, thats extreme.


as for the game, i'm surprised by dalhart every week, especially after the borger game this past weekend, shutting out a team that played canyon tough. but it's a game of matchups, and borger was athletic enough in the secondary, keeping it close. apparently they could not stop the run against dalhart. They will not be able to keep up in the secondary, and canyon will run up some points. as for the D, canyon's D has given up a lot of rushing yards, but this is more attributed to the fact that canyon has played teams who extremely run-oriented. you have to have the bend-not-break mentality, and they do that well. I will say Canyon 31, Dalhart 21

what the hell does that mean man?? don't be naive enough to think that one player personifies an entire team and tradition. i would think being from snyder you would know from experience. i don't condone what he did but he was a teammate of mine so i'll stick by him and all those other guys.

did I? I pointed out the act by an individual, said HIS act was uncalled for and classless, after i had already talked highly of sweetwater as a team. it was the people who forgot how to read and tried to make it out to be something it wasn't who blew it out of proportion.

[eagles72]

Remember this is Canyon and everyone loves to HATE Canyon!! This was one persons actions and it was a great acting job on the other party, yeah, he did get kicked but not nearly as hard as it was made out to be. He was just fine a couple of minutes after it happened. I'm not by any means saying what he did was justified, I think it was horrible, but I think it was blown way out of perportion!! Canyon has some great kids on their football team and they don't think what he did was right, but they are a team and they WILL stand behind him.

But thats how people are....they are going to look at a individual act and reflect that on the whole team.

yea i realize that, i was trying to deflect it from my team, just as i deflected it from sweetwater as a team. it's an unwinnable battle. anyways, back to this game. actually there are no posters from dalhart, so that will be pretty difficult.

I actually know a girl from there but I know she wouldnt give a crap about the d-low lol

[westcoast54]

What kind of defense does Canyon and Dalhart run?

[football4life]

canyon runs a base 4-3, pretty simple.

dunno about dalhart, usually teams come up with something different against our spread, so it will likely be something new.

After what ramos did last week they better come up with something different.

there's not much you can do against a double threat like that, and he has a lot of weapons that can be great, they just have to step up and make plays.

What a disgrace to football. I'd kick him off the team for sure!

Something interesting was pointed out to me today.

The player that got "kneed" and fell to the ground is an "ex Greenwood" kid that moved to Perryton his Freshman year.

I know his parents and I bet they were "HOT! :eek:

yes, i agree, but i would rather believe that it was because of themselves rather than entirely swwater's D. but that's in the past.

You always find an excuse for your two defeats, never that the other team was better....:rolleyes:

yes i never give the other team credit, do i? i'm just full of excuses. you are obviously one of the non thorough readers that seem to be plentiful.

all i'm saying is they had opportunities to put themselves in position to win those games, and they just didn't come through. swwater and snyder both took advantage, and they played better. i'll never give into saying that my team is inferior, if that's what you're looking for.:p

[strata_0]

Was that the same canyon kid that got the Cooper running back thrown out during a playoff game last year???

[football4life]

oh wait, is this the canyon vs dalhart thread? i really can't remember......

It just was unfortunate that the ONLY time this kid ever took a cheap shot was caught on film..:rolleyes: WAIT!!!!! Canyon _eagle4, are you any relation to the #4 from Canyon who took that Cheap shot???? are you the famous one?:eek:

[strata_0]

Must have hit to close to home on that reply.

[eagles72]

No, probably not, if it is him then he is in school right now. Even if it is him it doesn't matter, he was right, the the Cooper kid did get himself thrown out of the ballgame, with no help from anyone else.

BUT no comment on the Video???? then again what could you say to anyone about doing somthing like that.. Especialy if you a Team Capitan:eek: Kinda hard to justify that at all.

[trenchdweller]

I'm sure there are plenty of booster club videos and coaching staff footage around the panhandle that shows that this was an isolated incident. practice, practice, practice. Looked pretty good at what he did.

No, he had a little help from from a Canyon player.. Second guy always gets caught!!

[eagles72]

Guess you shouldn't ever be the second guy huh??

By that Time he would have time to get home from practice. Canyon only works Offence evidently( Cant stop others from scoring) So practice was done by then:clap: #4 is a Team Capitan?? WOW! what kind of measures were taken by the HC??

Whether or not he is playing this week shows the true character of Canyons coach.

you have got to be kidding me. you would judge the "true character" of a coach based on that? wait, yea you would. now that i think of it i could give a rip of your opinion of his "true character"

as for the game- Canyon 35, dalhart 13 late 4th

I think alot of people would judge the character of a coach based on wether or not they are ballsy enought to bench one of the star players if they demonstarted an act like that.

i can understand that, and i'm probably just offended because it's personal for me.

[Black_Magic]

I just realized one thing. #4 also kicked a player after he was takled and also threw the ball back into the face of one of the defenders after catching a TD Pass. So the Video may not be an isolated incident. Didnt he also throw Skye Greens helmet after it came off during the Canyon Sweetwater Game????

[eagles72]

So do you go to all of Canyons games or did someone tell you this? Because all of the videos I have seen, I didn't see any of this, and I DO go to all of Canyon's games. I think this needs to be dropped, Tyler was punished, so let it go!! The pot has been stirred enough, it is old news.:mad:

[Black_Magic]

If Im not mistaken, I often have been. I belive Green from sweetwater was critisized about conduct after he made a TD or something because of his helmet being tossed.. I believe I remember people from Canyon being very critical of the RBs action after a TD. I remember people wanting to be very critical of the unsportsman like conduct of a player during the game AGANST Canyon.. IF this is correct and he did throw a helmet then it may be tit for tat. AND to answer your question I have seen the games on Video. and These things DID happen. not always obvious though. thats how these type of players get away with it though. it happens quick and then they act inocent. BUT you cant hide from the eye in the press box.;) or the TV camera. Its rough justice to be put on Amarillo TV as a Cheap shot. Kinda like the Player who cleated another player in the head after his helmet came off.

[eagles72]

You are right about things being caught on tape, but hey, we could go on all day about the cheap stuff that happens during football games, and NO they are not all Tyler and NO they are not all Canyon football players. This needs to be dropped, it is over and I am sure he will be on his best behaviour for however many games we will be playing. He is not the only one that has done this sort of thing, he just got caught. There is a ref in our area that said this is by far not the worst thing he has seen, it was just more obvious!!

[Chunkthepill]

let it go, it's over
