Region III Bi-District GotW: Columbus (9-1) vs. Caldwell (8-1)

[duke55]

Playoffs....Predictions?

[Old Tiger]

Pretty good matchup here and it could go either way.

[duke55]

i gotta be a homer and go with the cards

[IHStangFan]

this ought to be a pretty tough game. From what I hear Caldwell is explosive and from what I've seen of Columbus this year the are a well oiled machine...steadily pounding the ball. I'm gonna be a homer as well and take the Cards.

[buff4ever]

I see caldwell pulling this one out in a pretty good game.

[ProudHornetMom]

Buff...you're making me proud. The Hornets will win.

Thanks for the support Buff...Hornets by 14. Columbus will play hard and it will be a good game the entire 48 minutes, but the Hornets will Bring the Sting!

Looking at variables such as our season, rankings, power rankings, skill and health of the team, there's no maybe, it's a Hornet win.

[duke55]

alrighty :wave:

wateva u say

[winthebigone]

Caldwell has a much more explosive offense. They are averaging over 430 yards a game. Columbus will struggle to contain Canto, Sims, Ofczarzak and the tailback tandum. 4 potential backs carrying the ball, with the possibility of play-action passes to Woodburn and Gage. Columbus relies heavily on their kid Clark. He has over 1600 yards himself. QB is good also.

Caldwell has played a much tougher scheule which has prepared them for a long playoff run. They have beaten 3 playoff teams

Caldwell has played a much tougher scheule which has prepared them for a long playoff run. They have beaten 3 playoff teams I think it will be a good one. As far as Caldwell having a much tougher schedule I think that is yet to be seen. I know that most think that D23 is tougher and superior to D24 but I wouldn't be so quick to make that assumption. This has supposedly been the case the last couple of years, yet D24 has had success against D23 in the recent playoffs. So don't count us out just yet. I think both of these districts are very solid at the top. Lots of stiff competition. Columbus has some good athletes, a pretty good sized line and a couple of really good backs.

Their team stats are as follows:

Total yds: 3951
First downs: 222
Rushing yds: 3215
Rushing yds/att: 6.67
Passing yds: 736
Yds/catch: 16.0

I wouldn't be guaranteeing a Hornet victory just yet. There is still a game to be played and I can assure you Columbus will show up.

Indeed it will be a great game. However, does Columbus have enough D to stop the Caldwell offense? If Columbus' offense can keep Caldwells defense on the field instead of Caldwells offense, the Cards can pull this one off. Caldwell can be very explosive on offense with their potent running attack.

Caldwell seems to be a bit more explosive....but Columbus is steady as she goes consistant....should be very interesting. Wish I could be at about 4 games at the same time this week!!

[State_In_08]

Since I've seen them play this year, and boy, did I ever see them play, I'll take Caldwell. They're a VERY good football team, and they run the ball methodically, with very few turnovers. That's the ingredients to a good football team right there.

Caldwell 35

Columbus 14

[orangeblood]

Caldwell 38 Columbus 17

Too much offense, and I think our defense has come along way since the Rockdale game...... We can contain one running back....
Do they Throw the ball ? that would be the queston.....

[navscanmaster]

Caldwell will win. Columbus has had lots of trouble with lesser teams despite their great record, which just goes to show you that they know how to win. Just not against Caldwell.:D

[cgaceb]

This game won't even be close.

[Darren]

I say Caldwell by 14

[CHS_CG]

I will say Caldwell by 14 as well.. It will be a good game cant wait to see it.

[tigerpride_08]

it's hard to root against my district but i can't help but say that our district has been up and down so i don't know if our 3 teams will be ready to face tough competition...but i'll pick the Cards in a close one...

[Rattlesnake_08]

Looks to be a good game of the week...Its prob. going to be a close one, up until the forth qtr.

Caldwell 42 Columbus 28

[venomous tat2]

Columbus is a very good clock control team they do a good job of playing keep away Lol if they go up by 14 it's a tough road as they will nickle and dime you to death just something I know from playing them. Caldwell on the other hand will go full throtle non stop. this game will go to the team with the fewest mistakes, but I gotta go with " THE STING " NO points too close to call.

Lets go D-23 Repsent us well !!!!:clap: :clap: :clap:

[CHS Pride]

So who are you missing? I really don't remember many other than the ones that have been posting and I said from the very beginning that I don't post very often, I just read. I have to get really stirred up to actually post. Most of what I am thinking is taken care of by another Caldwell poster. (If you know what I mean). But I dont want to let you down so if I need to post to keep you from being disappointed let me know. Look forward to seeing you on Friday and we will take care of you on that steak.

you don't have to post anything argumentative, just a prediction, randon thought, just to show you're here and didn't leave :D :D

[Global Swarming]

I'm with you CHS Pride. I'm another one of those posters who will not get on here and trash-talk or berate another team. That way I don't have to worry about taking my foot out of my mouth. With that being said, Caldwell moves on to the second round.

And by the way, did I say Caldwell will win this Friday in the 1st round just like we did when I was a senior in 1980 at the same stadium against Marble Falls.

Did I mention I don't mind taking my foot from my mouth, Prediction: here is mine again, defense don't fail me I know the offense will be there( it's been there everytime except that one time, you know.... yes our defense bends but doesn't break) CALDWELL 38 columbus 17
Columbus is not Giddings Defense and we stopped Brock to 2 TD's and held Pratt in check (somewhat)... We also shut down Robinson, Nunn, LaGrange's passing game....... I think hands down we are the better team, now with that being said we have to go out and prove it Friday night. And yes I'm cooking steak and maybe frying some shrimp........ See ya........ 4 teams from our schedule will be playing this Thursday,Friday and Saturday, with the exception of Robinson they all have a chance to advance. And Robinson who knows, anything is possible in the play-offs.

[hookandladder]

Caldwell by atleast 2 TD's.

[ProudHornetMom]

Buffers, you always get us stirred.:D Surely y'all don't want me starting a discussion on team versus one dimensional football. ;) Just kidding.

Caldwell by 21 is my wager. I'm positive we'll move to the second round.:D

I've bought items for the TG party. Can't wait for the fun to begin.

[buff4ever]

DId Imention Caldwell by 18 yet?!!

[CowboyBillWatts]

I plan on watching one of your teams in the second round against either Cleveland or Kirbyville. Being a big fan of football from SE Texas I saw both of your teams' stats. It looks like both teams have dominant rushers: Carter (1,664 yds) from Columbus and Canto (1,662 yds) and Sims (869 yds) and Ofczarzak (432 yds) from Caldwell. I'm guessing Wing T offenses with Caldwell running some option? I guess it could be the I or veer. Heck, it may be spread. Sounds like it should be a great game between you two schools.

[Old Tiger]

I voted Caldwell.

[RattlerDude]

Caldwell will take this one easily. I really don't know much about Columbus, but unless they have a defense as good as Giddings, which I highly doubt, they pretty much have no chance at victory.

[CowboyBillWatts]

Man, it sounds like Caldwell is the hottest team outside of Giddings and WOS. What does Caldwell run on defense? 4-3, 5-2, 3-3, 4-4? Do they have a bunch of kids that play both ways? Does Columbus have a shot at Caldwell?

[48minutes]

I'm taking caldwell by 2 td's.

From what I watched in giddings, it didn't seem like Caldwell has many 2 way players. I know cantu, simms, and the qb do not play both ways forsure.(correct me if I'm wrong)

Just curious, is Columbus healthy?

[buff4life]

agreed...

[Who-dun-it!!?]

Caldwell 32
Columbas 26

Sims and Ofczarzak do play defense in certain situations.......
Ofczarzak played more early in the season, but now that the defense has gotten better they try not to have players going both ways, but due to a couple of issues a couple of guys do play both ways.....

[IHStangFan]

When someone is able to make the corner on their D they put in the faster kids? Just a guess. I've seen it done before.

On a little diff. note.....do you guys/gals know if this game is going to be webcast?

Can't really tell you that, I don't know, looking at ofczarzak he is a very smart player, I would imagine to see him on defense if we face an offense that throws alot like Texas Tech. They might add some defensive backs, or due to injuries. Simms is just a physical kid that fills in time to time.

Not sure about a webcast. I would think it will be on the radio....

I don't see Columbus coming out throwing the ball...more than likely theyre gonna run right at ya...then if you can stop their ground game..then they might go to the air.

[LoveTheHornets]

I have only posted a few times, and I also do not have much time in the evenings to get on the computer!

Just want to say that my boys are ready! They are not looking ahead to next week; they are concentrating on this week. I know everyone from Caldwell always talks about how the Hornets are a TEAM, but it is true. I have seen many Hornet football teams over the years, and I have not seen a group who are as pulled together as this one is. I have not seen any infighting or backbiting or anyone with a prima donna attitude.

We are lucky to have this group of young men. I am proud to be associated with this team and these coaches.

[HEMOTOXIC]

I for one was really impressed with the Hornets. Hopefully, Caldwell and Giddings will get their rematch. I want to see that!


Good luck to both teams!

[State_In_08]

I really want to see Giddings and Caldwell get a rematch... I'd like to attend that game.

[orangeblood]

This thread is not very hot, not like that Navasota thread...
I wonder why so many people want to post on the KBTX post board, I invited them over here but if they come they will not last long, they will get banned. Where is all the Columbus fans?

[neck_06]

where is this game being played?

[CHS Pride]

The game is in Austin @ Tony Burger Center.

[Bull19]

i got caldwell by 14+

[Dogman_1969]

Since my family is from Caldwell and most of my fellow Bohiemian Cousins live there and play or played for the Hornets I'll go with the Hornets by 21..........

[CowboyBillWatts]

or can they? I have learned all about Caldwell's offense, very potent from what I've heard! But nobody seems to be giving Columbus much of a chance. They have a stud running back also named Carter (1,600+ yards) and they have a ton of seniors just like Caldwell. I'm not so sure the Caldwell is that much better than Columbus. Guess that's why you play the game. How are the two defenses? Is Caldwell or Columbus better on D? Who will end up getting more stops and more turnovers?

[orangeblood]

I will say this we didn't get much respect early on I think we were picked to finish 5th in our District, We still really don't get much respect, I guess it's to do with the history of Caldwell and the play-offs, Which IMO any team that makes the play-offs are doing good regardless if you lose early or late. I'm sure their are teams that have never been to the play-offs. No body gave us much chance against Robinson, Hutto, Navasota, Lets say we haven't been picked to win many this year and we have came out alright. Columbus sure they have a chance to win and I can tell you the HORNETS respect them more than they respect us. ( see KBTX post board) Columbus is putting deposits on Stadiums for their game against Kirbyville, funny thing Columbus hasn't played yet and niether has Kirbyville....... So don't say nobody is giving them a chance to win. But with respect to the posters on the downlow most of the time they know what they are talking about. And we will find out about Columbus tomorrow... And we scored 40+ points against the 3 opponents that were picked to beat us.......

most teams do try to schedule a stadium ahead of time because if they do win, they want to have a good place to play and not get the scraps, reserving a stadium isn't sayin "We're going to win" it says "If we win, we don't have to worry about finding a good place to play"

I got on th KBTX board for about 5 minutes during the week of giddings/caldwell. If you spend more time than that on that board you are wasting it. It was ridiculous. To me it looked like a bunch of kids talking crap, they were saying they were players, knowing they weren't, it is total crap.

THANX TO THE DOWN LOW FOR BEING RESPECTABLE AND DESCENT IN MOST OF ITS THREADS!

My advice would be to not look at that other board. Teams are always scheduling stadiums ahead of time, or they will wind up traveling farther than necessary or playing in a pasture. Once you get 3 or 4 weeks in it gets a lot easier to hold a stadium, till then it is a dog fight.

I will say this we didn't get much respect early on I think we were picked to finish 5th in our District, We still really don't get much respect, I guess it's to do with the history of Caldwell and the play-offs, Which IMO any team that makes the play-offs are doing good regardless if you lose early or late. I'm sure their are teams that have never been to the play-offs. No body gave us much chance against Robinson, Hutto, Navasota, Lets say we haven't been picked to win many this year and we have came out alright. Columbus sure they have a chance to win and I can tell you the HORNETS respect them more than they respect us. ( see KBTX post board) Columbus is putting deposits on Stadiums for their game against Kirbyville, funny thing Columbus hasn't played yet and niether has Kirbyville....... So don't say nobody is giving them a chance to win. But with respect to the posters on the downlow most of the time they know what they are talking about. And we will find out about Columbus tomorrow... And we scored 40+ points against the 3 opponents that were picked to beat us.......

CALDWELL 38 columbus 17

Well said. Thanks for the insight. I do not know either team. Sounds like a fun game. I just might go to Austin for this one!

Nice screen name!:thumbsup:

This game will be one of three victories by D23 in week one of the playoffs!!JK but likely true!:D

[Isee_everything]

I would not say that quite yet. I have been watching Columbus practice through out the week and they seem ready to go. Not only do these kids seem physically prepared but also mentally. Watching this team play is unlike watching any other Columbus football team yet. To me I think these kids are finally tired of having losing football season and decided to turn it around this year, simply put like their head coach says "were going to put the C back into C-Town". Maby it is just me, and having not seen this type of chemistry on the football team in a long time (it just sends chills all over your body). But I think Columbus will come in this game and make Cadwell put their money where there mouth is, simply this game will be one of those memorable games where the underdog beats the favorite.

Also good luck to the Lady Cards at the state tournament!!!

Who said ya'll are the underdog Columbus won District, we are the underdog......

[buff4ever]

don't compare underdogs by where you finished in district. Not that state rankings are all legit and all, but much better way of determining underdog in a first round playoff game.

[orangeblood]

Wasn't going to let him play the underdog card on me...... good advice though.....

Aight Hornets, Its your turn!
