#5 Celina (11-0) vs. #7 Dallas Madison(10-0) thread (ready, TXBC?)

[charlesrixey]

Celina has a pretty good running back themselves (1,200 yds, 20+ td's)--it will be interesting to see how the defenses stack up.

Let's get it started!

make that 11-0 for celina, 10-0 for madison!

[jlwzz]

ok. so wheres the game on the net?

[charlesrixey]

we are still figuring out the issues with texashsfootball.com

hopefully it will work soon

also trying to find the other affiliates, if possible

[jlwzz]

it working now

[turbostud]

Its working for me.

[charlesrixey]

WooHoo!

bobcats get the kickoff

[charlesrixey]

it sounds so strange not having the crowd noise in the background

10-yard penalty on the bobcats--penalties are the weakness for the bobcats

where is the other commentator?

[charlesrixey]

wow

four consecutive penalties on the Bobcats

[SWMustang]

he must have been running behind

[charlesrixey]

there we go! Now we have both of them!

You were starting to sound lonely TXBC

[SWMustang]

he gave a shout out to the 3A downlow

[charlesrixey]

there's the first DL namedrop!

[sweetwater07]

updates?????

[charlesrixey]

amazing that the Bobcats have been able to garner a first down after those four penalties

[SWMustang]

Celina is driving - still have the opening kickoff down about the Madison 20 yd line

[charlesrixey]

0-0
still opening drive as Celina drives down the field

[jlwzz]

thats what im talking about
this is the guys now they are the best

[charlesrixey]

i think we are finally ready to throw down! good to have both of them aboard now!

we even have some crowd noise too!

[charlesrixey]

Big drop on 3rd down for WR/RB D'Anton Lynn (son of Dallas Cowboys a-coach Anthony Lynn

Dallas Madison 1-10 at their 35

[SWMustang]

did I hear the announcers say Celina has a Charlie Waters? Any relation?

[charlesrixey]

Charley Waldrep, sophomore running back

[charlesrixey]

Muffed punt, Celina gets ball at Madison 18 yard line

[jlwzz]

big turn over

[charlesrixey]

1st down at the 4 yard line for mcartney (9 yard run)

[charlesrixey]

Touchdown! Charley Waldrep (23rd touchdown of the year for a sophomore!)

[charlesrixey]

Madison receiver scores touchdown

[charlesrixey]

Celina 7, Madison 6

missed xp

[charlesrixey]

Celina driving again, Waldrep gets another 20-yard gain, Bobcats on the forty.

Madison definately has some speed!

[TexasHSFootball]

now that the tech issues are fixed on both ends... it should be better

[sweetwater07]

sounds like a good game.

[charlesrixey]

Waldrep with another long run, RB McCartney and Lynn also doing some of the pounding

Celina is driving in Madison territory at the end of the 1st quarter

[charlesrixey]

you in here TXBC?

[charlesrixey]

Charley Waldrep run for 7 yards.

Offensive line is blocking very well for the Bobcats

Two point conversion Good!

15-6 Bobcats

[Txbroadcaster]

Here now..sorry I am late guys car problems

[charlesrixey]

That's alright---very good point on the XP/2PC thought regarding SLC/ET

[charlesrixey]

processor?

[charlesrixey]

It's interesting that McNeal has not become more involved early in this game

[TexasHSFootball]

At the Half.. speaking of Texas A&M commits.. Bradley Stephens talks :)

[charlesrixey]

QB Wallace is pretty shifty, but his o-line is going to have play better.

Early thougts--McNeal has only 2 or 3 carries yet

prosser keeps being called processor -- TXBC!!

[charlesrixey]

Celina already has 6 or 7 penalties for a huge amount of yardage

this and the 2 point conversion will likely be the deciding factors in this game, if it gets close

[charlesrixey]

How's it Going TXHSFB? You've got something pretty good going with this passplay idea!! good to see you in here

[charlesrixey]

i heard that broadcaster!!
=)

[Txbroadcaster]

Yea here just still trying to catch my breath..Hate being late

[charlesrixey]

Some Stats to chew on:

Celina has the current longest consecutive 10-win seasons (13)streak in the state, three behind the record held by CC Calallen

Since 1999, their regular season record is 79-1

[charlesrixey]

only loss during that time was to Gainesville (state champion) in 2003

whats up Rix bud.. thanks.. been busy!

[charlesrixey]

Quoted from my favorite broadcasters:

he rode him out of bounds like a My Little Pony, all the way to the stable

[charlesrixey]

Congratulations to your Texans!

[charlesrixey]

unknown at this point who scored it, but Celina is ahead 22-6 with 4:34 left in the second quarter

[charlesrixey]

interception by taylor kolb for celina!

Why is madison running empty backfield sets?

[charlesrixey]

Madison is killing themselves with unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, and now celina is at the twenty with a chance to put it away.

[charlesrixey]

Another stat:

Celina's average record since 1994 is 13-1

The bobcats are 4th and 1 from the 18 and going for it

[charlesrixey]

Celina ahead 29-6

less than two minutes remaining in the first half

It appears Celina's penalties are being offset by their dominance at the line of scrimmage.

However, McNeal's absence in the backfield is unacceptable

[charlesrixey]

thanks TXBC!

[charlesrixey]

fumble by Madison, scooped up and Touchdown by the Bobcats on a short return.

36-6

[charlesrixey]

some other stats on page 3.

Celina is currently 0-2 in the area round in 3A, but that is about to change.

Celina also has the state record for consecutive playoff wins (25) as well as the overall state record (68 wins, fifth all-time in national history)

[charlesrixey]

Former QB adam Herrin (1998-2000) is the only starting qb in texas hsfb history to win 3 state championships.

his opponent in the 2000 state title game was Mart, with current Texas WR Quan Cosby as the opposing qb.

Herrin had 350 yards total offense against Cosby's 300, the offensive and defensive AP player of the year that year

[charlesrixey]

interception by the Bobcats, letting the clock run out at half-time for a 36-6 lead.

[charlesrixey]

the last time Celina played a state-ranked opponent at this point of the playoffs was in 1999, a 42-0 win over #6 Grand Saline.

[charlesrixey]

Giddings 14, West Orange-Stark 13 at the halftime

[TexasHSFootball]

and i had a halftime show that wont be played :mad:

[charlesrixey]

why is it not playing?

[TexasHSFootball]

i wonder myself

[charlesrixey]

Interesting to see what Dallas Madison adjusts to in the second half (here's a hint---use McNeal)

[charlesrixey]

[charlesrixey]

Madison has a nice gain on a reverse on their first possession of the half, and then stops themselves with a penalty and a time out.

The trojans at the 50 yard line

[charlesrixey]

Madison has another pass down to the Bobcat 28.

[charlesrixey]

Madison passing fairly well, down to the 15, but the Bobcat defense has stiffened inside the red zone

[charlesrixey]

Madison goes for it on fourth and 11 and McNeal catches a pass at the 11 but can't get the first down, Bobcats take over.

Waldrep takes it again, grabs a first down at the 18.

[charlesrixey]

Chatman for Madison twists his "third ankle!"

can't wait to keep listening throughout the playoffs!

[charlesrixey]

Celina keeps driving down the field, first down at the 35. Waldrep is having a heck of game pounding--now to the 48.

[charlesrixey]

More great qoutes:

'I probably shouldn't use Trojans and protection in the same sentence'

'Is there a tear?'

'Trojans are finally plugging some holes'

[charlesrixey]

oops we have a busted trojan

and his name is Johnson!

[charlesrixey]

Celina down to the 5 on a 20 yard run by Waldrep.

He must be over a hundred yards now

[charlesrixey]

AMEN! a cuero haven!

i wish gobbla 2001 was here.

[charlesrixey]

4th and goal at the one

for the bobcats

End of third Quarter

still 36-6

[charlesrixey]

43-6 Celina over Madison at the start of the fourth on a one yard scamper by Waldrep--not sure how many touchdowns he has, but at least two by my count.

Madison could just never get the ground game going, as Celina dominates time of possession with another 90 yard drive.

[charlesrixey]

McNeal finally has a long run to the 35

[charlesrixey]

see if i can find that Robinson score for you

[charlesrixey]

Celina punts, then gets the ball right back on a prosser interception

[charlesrixey]

Giddings stopped WOS inside the five on four straight downs, and now has the ball with just a couple of minutes left.

Giddings 21, West Orange Stark 13

[charlesrixey]

Giddings 21, West Orange-Stark 13 final

Robinson 45, Palestine 35 in the fourth

Sidenote for TXBC:

Celina beat Robinson 42-14 at the start of the year

[charlesrixey]

the scrubs are in

[charlesrixey]

it's hard to believe there hasn't been any conversation about this game yet. Giddings looks like they are going to get a rematch with liberty hill in the other half of the bracket.

DAVE LANCE / The Dallas Morning News

MCKINNEY – There's a reason Troy McCartney's halfback option touchdown pass in Celina's 43-6 win against Madison was right on target Friday.

"We've been working on it more in practice," McCartney said. "My adrenaline was pumping, but I threw it softly. I said to myself, 'I gotta sell the run real good,' and they bit."

And just like that, Lance Clark had a 29-yard touchdown catch, giving Celina a commanding 22-9 lead in the second quarter.

Sophomore McCartney rushed for 71 yards on 12 carries, and Charley Waldrep, another sophomore, rushed for three touchdowns and 178 yards on 26 carries.

"We just ran hard," McCartney said. "We said, 'We've got to play like seniors, like it's our last game.' "

Celina (12-0) moves on and it has a dominant offensive line to thank. It allowed Celina to move the ball mainly on the ground.

"We talked about running the ball," said Celina coach Butch Ford, whose team has won 28 straight games. "But it kind of went off better than expected. Our offensive line and our running backs all block well."

The defense wasn't bad, either. It held running back Shawnbrey McNeal, who is verbally committed to Texas A&M, to 22 yards rushing on 11 carries.

"The bottom fell out," said Madison coach Ronald Johnson, whose team finished at 11-1. "We couldn't stop 'em. Celina ran it down our throats. But we had a good season. A lot of programs didn't get this far."
