Could Tatum and Mart have made it to the state game in 3A Football, last year?

[Fotbol]

With Robinson making it to the State Game, I feel Mart and Tatum could have made it to the Div 1 Title Game. I think Liberty Hill would have given both teams trouble, in Div 2 though!:thinking:

IMO Tatum could not have beat LE to get to the title game

uhh the State Champs Libery Eylau

Well if they "easily" could have beat them, why did it come down to one gamble to lose the game?

I think people forget that LE started the year in the top 5 in polls as high as 3...Then injuries hit them hard and they did not get truly 100% full speed till almost end of district. That team was VERY talented and it was not a fluke they beat Gilmer or won the Title.

LE matched up well with Tatum last year, LE would have IMO been able to out muscle Tatum who yes Creer is/was a stud, but IMO LE a better all around team last year

And it is not like Tatum rolled thru 2A with ease..they got beat in district play by a good but not one of the best Troup teams

I did not see Mart play, I was talking about Tatum would not even have got to the title game, they would have played LE earlier if in 3A still.

The one team that beat Tatum in 2A did outmuscle them..Troup had ONE weapon RB chris Davis and he rolled them for like 250 yards and 4 TDS...Tatum did have couple of big uns..but speed was their forte and a powerful OL could push them around

Tatum wouldn't have played LE...they would've been in seperate divisions. The real question is...could Tatum have beaten Celina?

Celina is 2-0 against Mart, and would have beaten them again had they played last year.

No

Tatum was a better version of Dallas Madison, but not that much better

Before Tatum worries about Celina, they should go undefeated in their own classification first.

In NO way was Tatum a "better version" of Dallas Madison. Tatum not only had speed but plays a very disciplined game of football. They are not just a bunch of athletes who run around with no clue. Their defense was good last year, just at times could be manhandled..but also they did their share of dominating teams as well..I dont think they would beat LE..I cant say about Celina cause the one game I did see was the Madison game..but Tatum would have been a contender in 3A this past year, I just dont think they would have won.

It would've been fun to watch Tatum win back-to-back titles in DII. Oh well I'm sure they're happy with back-to-back titles in two different classifications.

Tatum a better version of Madison?? Hardly....Tatum was much better than Madison and I sung Madison's praises early on...but when I saw Tatum in the semi-finals they would have had little trouble with Madison

Tatum was much better this past season than Madison. In 2005 it was a toss-up between the two, but last season Madison wouldn't have played it down to the wire had the two met again. Honestly the Forest Green and Gold would probably have been blown out due to how banged up that defense was by the time the playoffs rolled around.

tatum really surprised me with the athletes they had when i saw them play gilmer. i knew they were good from seeing them in the semi's the previous year. lots of weapons. a few mistakes carried the game away from them. i still feel without those few mistakes tatum would have beaten gilmer.

they run the screen pass better than any high school team ive seen.

How was I clueless

[lostaussie]

from only who i saw last year, Gilmer, L/E, Celina, Royse City, and L/H were all better than Tatum. They had plenty of speed which carried them last year, but they had no depth which showed emminsly when they played us. When they won the championship in 2005, I'm not saying they didn't deserve it, but all the cards fell right for them.

when i say that much better, i mean not good enough to win the 3A title last year

not as in 'barely better than madison'

omigoodness

wow that was misconstrued


i knew i should have put forth the extra effort and added the italics to 'that much'

[Hupernikomen]

Lost by 3 TDs to Gilmer. I don't think they would have made it to the 3A finals, but would have been a tough out.
