Okay, before I vote; someone give me the facts and storyline to this matchup. I want to know as much as possible about this game, so that I can type some messages this week. I flat refuse to type on the thread about the other great game this week in our region.

Just looking at the district page, both teams have a district loss to Columbus in OT. Needville's other loss was to Sealy by 3.

I think the necks will pull this one out. Might even need another overtime to do it. But even after this game, the playoff picture is still murky for district 24.

I flat refuse to type on the thread about the other great game this week in our region. Needville (2-2) losses to Sealy and Columbus/OT

Columbia (3-1) loss to Columbus/OT

Needville has a stable of talent at the RB position and are big

Columbia= not as big, but their passing game is better than needville's and they MIGHT be faster..... i aint sure

Very Imp. game and the winner likely goes to the playoffs and loser most likely stays home... barring a meltdown from Sealy

Needville= underacheivers this season(2-2)

and nobody outside WC expected us to be (3-1) so......

If Columbia can play decent ffotball with minimal TO's then ill take em by 7....

If we turn it over, we will lose

I expect us to play well coming off a loss, so Necks by 7

For Needville, Thadeus Wilkerson should be toting the rock. I don't have current stats, but he had 839 yds as of a couple of games ago.

Soph Qb beginning to come into his own... (playing pretty well lately)

about 6 dif Rb's none with an adavntage over the others

Start 1 Fresh on the oline, 2 Juniors, 2 seniors with Mult. subs

Very Good WR's

D has played great in district, Columbus was the first time they had been exploited....( 2 Starting LB's didnt play)

Pass D is a lil shaky, but dont look 4 Needville to pass much

Special Teams is WAY better than it has been, and has actually helped us win games

so.... anything else?

at the beginning of the year - you'd be crazy to pick against needville

with how this district has been this year - anything can happen!

playing on the road --- gonna be tough

i still think needville can pull it off and keep their playoff hopes alive :thumbsup:

This should be a great game! Wilkerson will be a tad too much. Needville by 1.

This one is gonna be a good one!! Needville's D finally woke up this past week against Brookshire Royal and had several turnovers....mostly INTs. The D just looked like they were on a mission! The O looked alright, w/ a RB that was apparently brought up from JV (I'm guessing) that is blazing fast. SO...at RB you have Wilkerson, Hajek (spelling?), #5 (can't remember the kid's name) and this "new" kid #33 Grant. Needville's starting QB went out of the game last week w/ an injury, not sure how serious, but the 2nd stringer came in and did just fine. He is actually a bit more of a running threat than the 1st stringer it would appear. He's pretty fast. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what Needville's passing game looks like. I've only seen em throw it about 4 times. They usually only throw when absolutely necessary. This district is still wide open. I love the competition!! GO JAYS!! OH...I'll take the Jays by 7.

Both Giddings and Caldwell are 7-0, You have two teams that will go deep in the play-offs, and more than likely meet up in the small division.This will be a big game in the state, Im surprised FSN did not pick this one as the DQ Game of the week?

In this district, everybody has a chance. And to say Royal is horrible's completely inaccurate. They have improved every week. Granted, Columbus had some key players out but Royal throttled them 41-13. They have a legitimate chance of making the playoffs if they can upset Sealy. This district is still WIDE open.

If Grant is #33 he looks very quick and fast. He played sparingly against Sealy, but when he did he looked real dangerous. Don't know much about Columbia other than their record, but still believe Needville is pretty good. Needville by 7.

He looked real good against BR.

Region III GOTW should be Giddings vs. Caldwell. I don't care if Giddings was in the GOTW last week, that shouldn't matter. Anyways, I'll take Needville.

scotty

No matter the predictions the thing that counts happens on Friday nights. Some teams get better as the year goes on and some go down hill. Injuries create a big factor. All you need to do is look at last year when Bellville won big over Columbia in their first meeting. The next time, in bi-district when Columbia had their players back, they turned the table on Bellville. On paper there isn't any doubt that the top teams in 23-3A are better than the ones in 24-3A, but who knows the outcome as I'm sure bigger upsets have taken place. If you remember the experts didn't give Columbus a chance when they went to Needville but what was the outcome? Just look at Rice Consolidated and all of the hype about winning it all after dropping from 3A to 2A. That didn't happen either as they didn't even win their district and got beaten in the second round of the playoffs. The Raiders have a quarterback committed to one of the big Florida schools, a big wide receiver that is a D1 prospect, and a running back that has already rushed for 1000 yards but Schulenburg beat them handily last week. The results that count happen on Friday nights, not here and isn't that great.

from what I am reading in other post, Caldwell is overrated anyway so how can that be game of the week...

been to Giddings, and they are a one man show, but he is that good... so...
get over yourselves...

Columbia and Needville will be the better game... Giddings will beat Caldwell by alot

10-24-2007, 05:40 AM

I actually think the past two years that d24 is like 4-2 or 5-1 in the 1st round...
but hey, that is okay...
I saw Brock play last year and met him at UT.. great kid and phenominal athlete... I would let him be about 80% of my offense as well, not knocking the kid... or the team...
it is just that some of you are going way overboard with this... the gotw is whoever they want it to be and that is how it is regardless... if they want it to be two winless teams because it is a great rivalry it can be that tooo

This doesn't seem as if it is going to be a good game, at least not as good as a game between two top ten teams in State, but oh well. There only seems to be three good teams in D24 this year, and this looks to be a game between two of them. I'll take West Columbia 24-14.

They may not have gotten Region III game of the week, but they did get the statewide 3A game of the week on TexasFootball. I am just glad someone got it right

I just have to ask.....whats up w/ all of the Navasota to Giddings/Caldwell jock riding? Also....if you have nothing to do but complain about the game of the week decision, why don't you take it up w/ the appropriate people via PM instead about crying about it here in a thread thats supposed to be about Needville -vs- West Columbia....a game that some of us are very interested in. Yeah...so Giddings and Caldwell are 7-0 and 6-1 and "state ranked" but this game will more than likely decide the outcome of who does and doesn't go to the playoffs in this district...so in that aspect, its a little more of a do or die game when you look at the big picture.

That is all :)

Correction on records.....

Giddings -- 7-0
Caldwell -- 6-0

I am a homer on this topic as well. But its a battle of 2 unbeaten teams.

While both of these teams are likely to go to the playoffs this game is more of a settting the bar for a whos who in state.
