View Full Version : Wharton vs. Giddings
Wharton is a young tough team that plays hard and never gives up! I haven't seen Giddings play, so how does Wharton match up against them? And does anybody know where and when this game will be played?

I picked Giddings to win state on this board nearly one year ago so I am not jumping off of that horse just yet. Wharton couldn't stop Needville from running the football. Giddings running attack is twice as good as Needville's and Giddings won't put the ball on the ground 6 times like Needville did Friday night. Giddings will win easily.

Two very good QB's, but I think Giddings will win by 2-3 TD's. Wharton's lack of a kicking game will hurt the Tigers.
Just like giddings qb Fitzhenry? pulls the load for the buffs
Ansley will pull the tigers, I've seen him play a few times and he manages to keep his team in every game and wills them to victory.
Just like fitzhenry, ansley's no slouch running the ball either
Does giddings have a secondary or at least two good db's that can hang with Shelton? If not Ansley scrambling ability combined with the deep threat can keep the game close.
Wharton seems to dig themselves in a hole every week and then make a comeback, they can't do that this week. If they can match scores with gidding I think they have a chance.
I am pulling for Wharton and I think they might pull this one out. Hopefully tigerfans and the team are hoping to play spoiler

Don't think Giddings can't pass the ball, I watched their QB throw a long stike against Bellville.
Wharton is out matched up front every game. But they fight hard and find ways to win. Sweeny was pretty big upfront and Wharton hung in there untill the end. IF Wharton can play mistake free ball friday night i like there chances! Wharton isn't going to stop Giddings, They just have to keep up with them and make them play untill the end and maybe they might make a mistake!

Everybody better leave Wharton early the traffic in that area is bad,but on a friday its even worse.I will be driven in from Kingwood so its easy for me,but you folks who are not use to it like i said give yourselve plenty of time to get there.
Giddings wins, say 41-20 Final.
Wharton is a good team & very athletic, but Giddings is just better. Giddings has a shot to win it all if things go right.

Its the playoffs and anything can happen.The team that makes the fewest turnovers,and maybe special teams play may decide this one.If Wharton has another advantage it might be playing under pressure,they have been in 3 ot games and won 2 of them to get where they are at.

Any team can win it all if things go right. Wharton has the ability to hang with Giddings and things do happen its the playoffs. Unlike the Needville game I will be there this Friday.
You could say that about just any football game. Turnovers, special teams, etc. But the fact remains & you will see it this Friday that Giddings is just plain better.
I am rooting for Wharton & hope they pull it off. But common sense says go with Giddings & their powerful attack. Watch that Fitzhenry kid - very good junior athlete for Giddings.
Good luck Tigers.

One of the few teams that I have ever seen that could get through the playoffs on talent alone was the '02 Tigers. Easily one of the five most purely talented 3A teams that I've EVER seen. This includes the Everman and Forney teams of the early '00's, Sealy and Cuero back in '95, Burnet, and tons of state champs over the last ten years. If this team is anywhere close to that team in terms of talent, then the game could go either way.
If they're simply "almost" as talented, Giddings wins. By a lot. Gilmer, Cuero, Giddings. The three best teams in the state from what I can tell. I've seen Giddings this year, saw Cuero (and what they had coming back) last year, and I think the two teams are pretty close.

The pressure is on you,everybody saying how good giddings is,my point was wharton has been in 3 ot games with playoff atmoshere and they have 2 out of 3 games that says alot about that team they are finding ways to win it might not be pretty but they are winning sometimes those are the teams that are dangerous come playoff time.

Giddings has played in three games that contained playoff type atmostpheres in my opinion...and we didn't have ot...we simply won
Wimberley, Hutto and Bellville were intense atmospheres that resembled the playoffs

Iam going with Wharton................Hey why not..........Yes Giddings is all that, But thats an easy pick..............Wharton is as Talented as any team in the state. They are the underdogs and Iam going to pull for them. If their defense can manage a couple of stops, they should have a chance. With Ansley and Shelton......anything is possible.

Giddings run offense is very tough, explosive and high scoring. If Wharton has a strong D they might hold them to 3 tds but I doubt that they will. On the other hand, Giddings D is very tough and will hold Wharton to 21 or less. This is my opinion fwiw.
Giddings 42
Wharton 21

I played on the 02 and 03 Tiger teams and IMO we had more talent in 03 than 02. But both years could have competed in 4a. In 03 Wharton had more size,speed and talent than Burnet did and people that saw us play knew that we were explosive and could beat anyone! But this year Wharton Tiger team has something that the 02-03 tigers didn't have and that is they play with more heart! If Wharton loses this game it is b/c Giddings is just that dang good!

The year ya'll played Aransas Pass. I think Kellen Heard was a junior that year.
I didn't get to see you guys the next year, but if you were more talented then dang! State champion-caliber team.
On that note, it's going to take that kind of talent to beat this Giddings squad. I've eaten my words before, and this may turn out to be a close game, but Giddings is state champion-caliber this year. Four backs who would start on most 4A squads, a good-sized OL, very tough defensive front, and speed to burn.
Based on what I know (and I haven't seen Wharton play), I'm going with Giddings by two or three TDs.

Giddings by 4 TD's
I may be wrong BUT, In my opinion Wharton cannot play physical for 4 quarters. Giddings may not seem like it, by they are not always fitzhenry. Their D is fast. The game will be close for a while, then Giddings blows them out. Giddings is that Good!

I am a Giddings Homer... But I think that it is a whole new ball game when the playoffs come around.
Any team can win. My gut is still with Giddings. Giddings has played alot of close games this year as some have mentioned so it is not as if we are unstoppable but I see Giddings by 14.
Good luck to all

I only saw him carry the ball once or twice, but number 11 was a hell of a blocker. Don't know his name.

I think so long as Giddings keeps themselves focused on taking the playoffs one game at a time, and prepare themselves well for this week only instead of listening to everyone talk about having a deep run into the playoffs or looking to potential matchups in upcoming rounds, then they will win handily. I haven't seen this year's Wharton team play, but they're always athletic, though in the past seemed undisciplined. You can not beat Giddings if your defense isn't disciplined or misses tackles. If Fitzhenry gets one step then it's a TD. I can't tell you how many times in the Hutto game that their defense would hit Fitzhenry hard around the LOS, but not be able to wrap him up and end up giving up 10+ yards (and some long TD's) on the carry. As I said, I haven't seen Wharton this year so I'm not saying that they are undisciplined, but Giddings rushing attack is just too explosive and too hard to contain for the Tigers I think, and they get sent home. Hopefully it's a fun and injury free game and everyone is safe on their travels to and from the game.

Wharton took on Cuero last year and the year before. Cuero was ranked #1 both years, I believe. Wharton lost both years by only one. Never count the Tigers out, am I right Cuero fans?
Believe you me, they'll continue to play with all the heart they have all season long. Not too shabby for a team that was picked to finish no better than fourth in district at the beginning of the season (Wharton), and picked to only win 4 of it's 10 games! 7-3 with losses only to Barbers Hill, El Campo and Sweeny.

11-14-2006, 09:57 AM
It is going to be hard for Wharton and this is coming from a Wharton fan. If we can find a way to slow down their running attack, which run defense is not our strong suit, we have a chance. Now that is a big "If" and is not easily done as this season has shown, but the Wharton players have shown a lot of heart and will come to play and hopefully pull off the huge upset. Anything can happen!!!

I have seen Giddings play this season and they are an excellent team! I was talking to some of the people from Giddings when I went over there and they told me that when I was there (when they played Navasota) that they don't throw the ball alot, but against Navasota they did (Got in some practice!!) Anyways, Giddings is going to be hard to stop on the ground as they have amazing talent and a good group of guys! I hope that Giddings makes it to the state game and if by some chance they don't I hope that they lose to someone who has just as much heart, soul, and game as they do! GOOD LUCK GIDDINGS!

Dunno if this was posted already or not, but from Today's Victoria Advocate:
"EXTRA EFFORT
Wharton coach Russell Roberts doesn't bother to tell his team to play hard for four quarters because he knows sometimes it has to play longer.
The Tigers went into overtime three times during District 24-3A play, the most recent being their 29-21 playoff clinching victory at Needville last Friday night.
Roberts had a team finish with three ties when he was an assistant coach before overtime was instituted by the UIL, but this was the first time he's coached in three overtime games in a season. The Tigers had a 2-1 record in those games.
Wharton scored with 2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter against Needville on a 20-yard pass from Joel Ansley to Kenneth Phynon but missed the extra point. The Tigers got the ball first in overtime and Ansley threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Jamail Shelton on the first play and hooked up with Xavier Jackson for the two-point conversion. Wharton clinched the win when Donalton Haynes recovered a fumbled snap.
"I don't know why we were so unsuccessful in the third and fourth quarters and so successful at the end," said Roberts, whose team didn't score in the second half until the game-tying touchdown. "I think the players were pressing too hard trying to get huge gains. We were going for the goal line instead of the sticks. And to be honest, I think the coaches got too conservative.
"I don't know why but playing all out just seems to be the way this team is," Roberts added. "They play like their hair is on fire and they're going 90 miles per hour. It's kind of chancy and risky but that's the way it is."
Roberts attributes Wharton's late-game success to the experience it gained playing 7-on-7 during the summer.
"The kids are used to having to come back," Roberts said. "We can't play consistent defense because our kids are so small. We just don't have the physical size to stop people all the time. But we saw in 7-on-7 that we could come back."
Wharton's reward for finishing second in district is the second seed in Division II and a bi-district meeting against undefeated Giddings, which was ranked No. 3 in the Associated Press poll. Roberts previously coached at Giddings.
"I'm sure there are a lot of people in Giddings anxious to play us," Roberts joked.

Probably one of the toughest district in the state. Possible repeat of the 2001 playoffs when LG met Giddings in semis.
If LG gets the breaks.
La Grange did play Giddings the closest and held them to the lowest score in their 10 games.
Good luck Leps and Buffs. And Bellville.

Massey has D23 rated 4th and D24 rated 16th out of 32 districts. D18 is rated 1st with LH, Hutto,Cameron Taylor and Rockdale.
The Leps will need to step it up a notch or two now if they want to advance. I don't see them blowing anyone out right now but they can find a way to win like they have done so many times this season. I don't even want to think about games beyond Sweeny 'cause that is the focus now.:)

La Grange did play Giddings the closest.
Didnt LG loss by 7 to Giddings?

who says Giddings is just gonna walk over us...please don't forget that we don't give up easily!!!...we've been in a situation like this and we've came out on top...so this isn't new to us...

Giddings is a more complete team. Remember, Wharton couldn't beat the Mighty Bulldogs. How will they beat Giddings.

there was several factors that lead to that lost but i know we should have won...we were 1 point away from a district championship....yes we lost but we bounced back and won our final 2 games...we've played a tough pre-district to be ready for game situations like this...we'll be ready for the challenge...

Tigerpride,
I was not trying to lesson Wharton's achievements or try in anyway to say that this game will be a cake walk. The fact is that every team will be tough from this point forward. There are no weak teams in the playoffs.
Wharton earned the right to enter into the playoffs and this will be a great game. People have been hyping up the WO-S game all year long as the game that Giddings will lose but we will just have to see if both WO-S and Giddings make it to the second round before we discuss it again.
Good luck to all
Play hard Buffs

Tigerpride,
I just want to say good luck to all of "my boys" from your number one fan! I'm so proud of you guys. My boy will be taking the field with you guys and he told me that all he has wanted all year was the opportunity to be able to play with #3, #9, #56, and #44. It has been his dream and it is finally coming true.
Hold on to this...What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see..
Good luck Tigerpride and to all of the Wharton Tigers.

I had a visual last night that the score to this game was tied at 14. Giddings had the ball and fumbled at Wharton 1 yard line. Number 66 of the tigers comes in and scoops up the fumble and returns it for 99 yards for a touchdown the kicker comes in and attempts a field goal he kicks the center right in the buttocks. Tigers win. I don't know if this was an actual visual or just the bud light but it was something. Good luck Wharton from them 06 mexicans. Play hard
p.s. i would give anything to just go practice one more time
#66 Joe Gutierrez number one fan!!!!!choo choo

Wharton must have a powerful offense if they could score 38 on the Buffs.

I'm not saying Wharton will score 38 on Giddings, but lets just say that the offense is not what I'm worried about.

Before anyone throws us(WOS) in the mix, lets win the first one. We will respect either Giddings or Wharton the same. This is the playoffs!!!! That means there is no next week if you have a "bad" game. We know better from '03. Good luck to both teams and hopefully we will see one of yall.
To the players: Playoffs are a special time, not many schools get to experience this. I have been fortunate to play all my varsity years in the playoffs. PLAY EACH GAME LIKE ITS YOUR LAST ONE!!!!!!!!!!! There is nothing worse than losing knowing you didnt give it 110%;)

Wharton Tigers...you face a challenge tonight but one that is not impossible. Now more than ever guard against what you say and think. Do not let any negative or destructive words, or thoughts come your way, allow only the positive. Giddings is your Goliath, your mountain. Do as David did and defeat your Goliath. Don't talk about the problem...talk about the solution.
I leave you with this...Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, "Be taken up and cast into the sea," and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it shall be granted him.
Good luck tonight. We all are behind you 110%!
GO BIG BLUE!

Wharton does indeed have a very potent offense. QB has the ability to turn any play into 6. Very athletic, much like Fitzhenry, and very capable of beating you with his arm as well.

as much as i want wharton to win i jus think that giddings rushing attack is too much for a mediocre wharton run defense.

Game day, Good luck Wharton.. just take it one play at a time and someone step up and take charge of the team talk to your young players and settle them down before everyplay.. if you make a mistake let it go. This is going to ba a very difficult game dont think anyone has the advantage even though Giddings is ranked we had close games with alot of ranked oppenents. IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT !!!
Everyone from Wharton leave by 4 or 4:30 so you can beat that horriable Friday afternoon Houston Traffic! Or you aint gonna make it on time!

buff, why dont you be a little more humble? Trust me, someone WILL humble your team. If you dont watch it, you will end up where you left off last year.............playing basketball in November!;)
Giddings 45
Wharton 21
Wharton has scored over 40 points only 3 times all year and that came against the 3 worst teams they played, Columbus, Stafford, and Brookshire. The only defenses they've played that is on Giddings level is El Campo and Barbers Hill and they held Wharton to 8 and 6 points, although those were games 1 and 3 of the season.

I understand. I just know what happens when you get overconfident. Ask us(WOS) about Silsbee '98 or Huffman '03.
