[CYOEMEN]

who will win?

[lonnyd]

Hopefully Giddings!!! We are due

[necks_c/09]

giddings will stomp waco La Vega:doh:

[JR2004]

I'm gonna go with MODOC on this one simply because they're the underdog. It's been a good while since Willie Williams had a team go this far in the playoffs so I hope they're able to stick around for another week!

No game is a given in the playoffs. Every week each team comes into that particular game with a 0-0 record. Season standings mean nothing at this point. The team with the, 1, on the wrong side gets out the basketballs and can say that they had a great year.

GO BUFFS!!!!
WAO

I noticed in the GTN (Giddings Times and News) today that Brock played int he secondary last week to help prevent the big play. I wonder if he will be doing that again this week or if it was only because of Earl Thomas. Wonder if that tired him out a bit on Offense since he hasn't done that all year.

By the way who did they sit on Defense so that he could start..?

[yoemenkracker30]

i wouldn't think brock is going to be needed for that kind of roll this week, la vega runs more of a wing t and jumps into the gun everynow and then, doesn't throw much but when they do it is effective...i look for giddings to crowd the box and it to be a very physical game....probably gonna be a quick one too since they both run run run

He replaced #8 who was ejected. Don't expect to see him back there much if any at all, although he was very effective.

I think Giddings will win. They should be playing Cuero, in a couple of weeks, for a chance to go to the State Championship.

[UTatx]

Yep im goin with giddings too...i would love to see cuero vs. giddings

[buffalo booster]

Giddings, 42-14. We'd like the opportunity to play Cuero, but we've got two games to win in order to get there. I don't believe that we've had the chance to play the Gobblers since our loss to Cuero in the Alamodome a few years ago...

he played in #8 spot becuase he got kicked out of the game....he went in once...besides that on defense

[charlesrixey]

Waco La Vega is a very good team (i believe they won their district over Robinson, but i could be wrong), although should win this game, but it maybe a lot closer than expected. Giddings vs. Cuero is the dream matchup, with both teams being very similar and strong defensively.

i don't know enough about Waco Lavega to go against Giddings...so im picking the Buffs...

If he is able to go to a Division One College, then he'll likely get very used to a role in the secondary (and besides being short, he's got a great skill set for it). I'd also expect him to be a good punt/kick returner.

Well as long as Willie Williams is the head coach then I know at least one thing they'll be doing. They're gonna run the football and try and beat you into submission with the John Tyler Sweep. I have heard, however, that they throw the ball more now down there in Bellmead since they brought in an offensive assistant from China Spring.

I remember broadcasting a game a few years ago though where they started on their opponent's 33 yard line and still found a way to take 7-8 minutes off the game clock before they scored a touchdown.

[Eagles52]

So what style of offense does LaVega run and what style of defense?

[Swarm 51]

Giddings may beat La Vega, but the Pirates have learned how to win and not give up if the scoreboard is not in their favor . They are big, fast, have speed to burn and are very well coached on both sides of the ball. Should be a good game.

they run a Wing-T and run the tunnel out of that or they go Shotgun on Defence they run a 3-4 and there two Middle LBs are the fastest I have ever seen and #11 seems to kill without remorse on the football field

Does LaVega have anyone with the last name Rhodes playing for them this season? I think they've had a Rhodes on the team just about every single year going back to at least when Arthur Rhodes (Long-time relief pitcher in the majors) went to school there. The last Rhodes I saw was that linebacker (David Rhodes maybe?) from three years ago that injured a Gatesville player each year for three straight years. (None were dirty plays. The kid just hit very, very hard.)
