Monahans by 14.

[Who-dun-it!!?]

I say a repeat from last year

Snyder wins this one.

Snyder 48
Monahans 21

[SUPERMANN5107]

Snyder by 28+

[Who-dun-it!!?]

Can't Wait to see it!!!

[keenoace]

Snyder is a totally different team than.....wholly crap!!!! I think I said this last year.....Totally Wierd. Let me go ahead and finish this thread for the rest of the week. So it begins... Snyder fans say we are a better team than the beggining of the year....and we are by the way... Everyone picks us to lose. Sweetwater fans ride our behinds all week because they feel Snyder Fans are the only ones they can talk smack to. It's definately not Wylie fans cause Sweetwater has been Wylie's step child for the past....uhm..four years... and we end up winning proving everyone wrong. Thank You very much have a Happy Thanksgiving I will see you in two weeks.

[lakers]

Snyder by 12... They should control for the entire game.

Snyder is definitely playing their best ball at the right time of the year (can Graham say the same?). The defense has stepped up and is playing very well. The offensive line is doing a heck of a job coming off of the line and staying on their blocks. The o-line has played consistent all year. Snyder beats Monahans next week.

Why did you direct that towards Graham? Jealousy is a ugly thing.

I saw the first game this year and have seen both teams on a few occassions. the improvement definitely goes to Snyder. Gotta go with Snyder on this one.

I'll pick Snyder by 14 :)

[garciap77]

Good luck Snyder Tiger Fan vs Monahans! Hopefully Sweetwater can keep winning so you can both meet in the playoffs!

[DUKE22]

I say snyder by three tds. Monahans is a good team and they are well coached but the tigers are really playing well. Something else that is being overlooked is that #2 is playing for the tigers now. If you have seen us play the last three weeks you know how much of a difference he makes. That is a huge weapon that was not there last time.

Was he injured, I've seen Snyder with and without him, he does make a difference. But I think the O-Line is really playing well which is leading to Clay having bigger and bigger games.

Naw he wasnt hurt, he just wasnt getting to play at the time(personal)

Yes the O-line is doing an exellent job, but Claxton is a huge threat on kickoff returns and punt returns.

[SNYDER325TIGERS]

Monahans has turned into a huge rivalry and I hope all of our backs run the ball down Monahans throat!:D :D

I'm guessing that you think Snyder's team is far superior...? I haven't seen either team in person this season; I'm just going by what I've heard.

When are we going to get to the 'close game' portion of the playoffs? LOL. I'm tired of all these blowouts. You'd think some of these teams forgot they were playing playoff games by some of their performances.

I understand that they are far superior to all 3A teams in the state.

[STANG RED]

Snyder will have to eventually play a good football team, and will get their long overdue reality check at that time. But this one aint it. Tiggers by 20+.

But beware Tiggers. Your day of reckoning draws near.;)

Synder wins big in Midland!

[westtexasfbfan]

Peope outside of West Texas believe it will be a good game. Those who have seen both of them play will have a difference of opinion. Snyder isn't the same team that Monahans played the first game of the season. Too many people are talking about that one. Synder played some great teams after their defeat to Monahans. Monahans was in that "easy" district. Monahans needs to be moved over to play with Greenwood, Lamesa, Andrews, and Snyder. We would then see if Monahans would be in the playoffs right now. It would be a different story. Snyder wins by 30 points or more!

You have got to be joking! Name just one great team Snyder has faced all season. And dont even thing about saying Andrews or Greenwood. Gwood is way down this season, and Andrews is an extremely weak team that somehow manged to play an even weaker schedule.
And as far as Monahans "easy" district, your are correct, and only Snyder's district would rival it as "easy".

These guys over here are pumped and ready, all we have to do now is sit and watch to see who wants it the worst.:)

[WTF-82]

Relax Lobo posters are here. My pick well I will say this on paper
Snyder has the edge but Tigers have been blowing loboes out forever at least that what tiger fans think and wish.
Loboes are young and have not been healthy since the Midland Christian game they have a great defense end that is a soph. that got hurt again in the stockton game with him stockton would not run on Loboes the o-line has struggled with injuries and junior and sophs qb and rb turnovers have been a problem. This is why the record is 6-4 young team.

But this is the Playoffs we have a proud playoff tradition that will be ready to roll the Lobo Nation will be there is none like it. Our coaching staff is ready fill good about our chances and if there is one thing we can do is play great football in November and December it is snowing in Midland and Odessa right now yeah
weather could be a issue big plays is the life of Clay and Tigers
pray for no snow bowl tiger fans. Listen this will be a war Loboes will come to fight. If anybody know this it is the Tiger coaches.

Oh yeah we played Midland Christian,Andrews,and Graham who by no means were easy teams. Oh yeah we scrimmaged Wylie and Greenwood also good teams. Yeah we lost our a#$, but didnt some teams from this area do the same thing last year and it seems like they made it several games into the play-offs. By the way those teams I'm refering to were Snyder and Andrews they both did really well after district didnt they? You speak of a easy district ? You need to look at yalls district and rethink it. Leave the easy district card in the deck and play with something else.

Good point L86! but you forgot Greenwood. They did very well in the playoffs last year as well.

Of corse I gotta go with Snyder in tomarrow's game though. But tomarrows winner has a chance to go deep this year!

vernon spanked sweetwater 47 to 13. the TIGERS lost to a good vernon team, but it wasn't 47 to 13.....

[loboes86]

A loss is a loss no matter what the scores. Your stats can be twice what the other teams are but the score is what counts.
And Sweetwater lost to that same good Vernon team didn't they?Sorry Sweetwater posters no direspect intended just tired of hearing about Vernon beating you guys last year.

Injuries remember us losing our RB kind of if yall lost Clay this season or friday you would not be the same also in that game.
Loboes lost it up 7-0 driving for more and a stupid pass right to your linebacker for 6 after that, stupid mistakes. Also Loboes were stacked but many starters got kicked of the team and one great end moved then the RB injury dont hate tiger you know this just making excuses but you know if the loboes were full steam you would not of pulled of area last year. Honestly one thing that has impressed me about the tigers is for the last 4 years they have not had to overcome major injuries like other programs like Monahans,Greenwood,Sweetwater. Monahans has had to overcome other issues in discipline losing players this season we had another returning def-end kicked of due to summer discipline issues. Young ones making dome mistakes many programs would let them go not Loboes and staff Owens.

We didn't ask U.I.L. to put us in this district any more than you guys asked to be with Lamesa.

[WTF-82]

The only thing I am talking about is good job of staying healthy sure you have bangs and bruises sprained ankles but youre RB is ok to play friday right, so is youre QB right wich is the core of youre team right. Then this is a good thing surviving Football injuries is a great thing. Dont get mad because I have a point be glad you still have youre king RB on Friday. And your right I dont keep up with tiger football much nobody does other than Snyder fans 2005 yall were ok with health right not many injuries so in 2006 and 2007 looks good.

So explain to me were does dude you have no idea what the ______youre even talking about come in. I know youre coach is glad he has his skilled players in last seasons area round and this years area round.

C'mon Loboes, show yourselves. We Mustangs have about trash talked ourselves out taking up your slack.
WHERE ARE ALL THE LOBOES???:mad:


Hold your horses, it took me a while to get registered for this. I played for the 13-1 (Thank you Sweetwater! lol), '05 Monahans Loboes. Ha ha actually its more like "Your welcome Sweetwater that I played like crap" '05 13-1 Monahans Loboes. lol No, they were a great team and it was an honor to give Coach Jackson his 100th win. I have a lot of respect for that man. Anyways, I'm digressing. I figured I'd add to the few posters representing Monahans. :)

Ok. Monahans vs Snyder is definitely becoming an exciting rivalry. Even when I played (and before I played) both teams have always done a great job at leaving everything that doesn't matter out of it. They just play. They just play their guts out, to be exact. Snyder is indeed an improved team from the team in Week 0. You must understand they were a great team in week 0 as well. Monahans is an improved team from Week 0 also, even though their record doesn't show it. They have cut down on stupid penalties and stupid turnovers.
To say Monahans can not win this game is absurd. Knowing how these two teams have played each other in recent years is proof enough that either team could win. Their victory in Week 0 proved that Monahans is capable of a victory. However to guarantee a win for either team is absurd, too. I believe if Snyder plays a perfect game, they could beat any team in the state.
In comparison, Monahans is young and inconsistent, while Snyder is quite the opposite. Experienced and mostly mistake free. Monahans is minus their stud sophomore DE, #81, and Snyder is plus #2, their senior Safety. Other than that, these are the same teams that lined up against each other in Week 0. Don't forget those of you who were at the game in Week 0, it was no fluke Monahans won. It just happened that Monahans was on top of their game, and Snyder was only close to the top of their game. I‘d say somewhere like the shoulder or chest. Maybe even the neck. Lol Snyder has been on top mostly every game since then, though, and Monahans hasn’t.
Having said all this, this is how I feel about the game. If Monahans is completely on, and Snyder makes just one mistake, I see Monahans winning, by no more that a score or two. (Anywhere from 3 points to 14 points). If Monahans does not play perfect football and Snyder plays at the same level in which they finished the regular season, (definitely the most likely scenario), I believe Snyder will win. It could be by as little as 7 points, or it could be by as much as 21 points.

Ha well I have more I could say, but I’ll save it for a rainy day. You guys are probably tired of reading all this anyways.

In conclusion, good luck to both teams, and both coaching staffs. We should all understand that which ever team wins, both are great, respected teams that represent West Texas in a manner that I am proud to associate myself with.

[JR2004]

No rooting interest either way here. My guess is Snyder probably gets revenge on Monahans. The only person I've ever run across that'll be on either sideline is Coach Owens when he was an assistant in Lampasas in the mid-90's. Pretty fiery guy from what I remember. I still get a good laugh when I think about him chasing the guy around our practice field his first year there that was doing donuts on it in his truck.

The reason that Snyder doesn't have to worry about major injuries is their offseason conditioning program. It's like preventive medicine, it prevents most major injuries. One starter (a two-time all-state player) was suspended for six games this season, so they deal with that issue too. He's back now. They Tigers were 5-1 in his absence.

Welcome and that was a good respectable post. You should post more often.

Good luck and may both teams come out injury free. I've seen Vet93 say it many times: never underestimate a Mickey Owens coached team......and I don't think the Tigers are. I hope they come out clicking like they have been the last couple of games! Go Tigers!

You know we can keep talking all this mess to each other and which team has which players and off-season programs, coachs, or even recent scores and stats, but thats why we play the game.

November 23, 2007: Clay, Snyder handful for Loboes 'D'
Oscar Leroy

Midland Reporter-Telegram
11/23/2007

Clay Anthony said he knows Monahans' defense will have its hands full when it faces Snyder this afternoon at Grande Communications Stadium.

Snyder (9-2) is led by bruising and speedy running back Will Clay, who has rushed for 2,057 yards this season. He has been hard to stop but if the Loboes (6-4) slow down Clay and play well on defense in today's 2 p.m. Class 3A Division II area round game, they have a good shot of advancing.

"They've got some speed and some size and they've gotten better since the first week we've played them," said Anthony, the Loboes' senior middle linebacker about Snyder. "We've got to go out there and wrap up."

Monahans certainly wants to avoid the same shootout it had with the Tigers in the season opener at Grande, won by the Loboes 41-32. The teams combined for more than 800 total yards in that meeting and each team had a 200-yard rusher as Clay rushed for 238 yards, and Monahans' fullback Stephen Neel rumbled for 245 yards.

That game was only the beginning for Clay, who is having a monster season. Snyder coach Chad Rogers said he knew Clay was capable of having a big year after rushing for nearly 1,200 yards last season as a junior.

"He's a real strong runner and a lot more physical than he was last year," Rogers said. "He's not afraid to put his shoulder down and run over people."

The kind of offensive onslaught that occurred in the first game is unlikely to happen again as both teams are playing well defensively, although Snyder hasn't slowed down much on offense. The Tigers have scored 50 or more points in their last three games, including a 55-12 victory against Brownfield in the bi-district round of the playoffs.

Anthony said Snyder has a lot more weapons than just Clay.

"Clay runs hard and he's tough to bring down. We've got to stop him and (quarterback) Lance Day, he's pretty good too," said Anthony, who is playing against Snyder for the fourth time in the last two years.

If there's one area Monahans coach Mickey Owens said he thinks has been most consistent for his team, it's the performance of his defense, which has allowed an average of 253 yards per game and posted three shutouts in District 1-3A play.

"The season started off good against Snyder but then we had three straight losses," Anthony said. "By the time district rolled around, we came together and now we feel we're getting our swagger back."

Anthony has been the leader of the unit this season with a team-high 91 tackles, including 16 tackles for a loss.

"(Anthony is) a hard-nosed football player who's played smart and dependable," Owens said.

Anthony and the defense will be called upon once more to come up with some key stops. The senior is confident his unit can step up to the huge challenge.

"We've given up a few plays but we've done a pretty good job of stopping the run all year," Anthony said. "We just have to make sure we wrap up."

Not sure how you prevent an injury when a player plants his foot and a 180 lb kid flying in hits his knee and it bends the wrong way. Not sure how you prevent an injury when a lineman is blocking and a 280 pound kid falls on his leg from the blindside.

I don't doubt that Coach Rogers has a good off-season conditioning program but there are a lot of injuries that just can't be avoided in this violent sport. I wouldn't be too cocky just because you have avoided the injury bug so far.

When Greenwood went to state in '02 we had two injuries all year long. One was a broken leg and the kid was back for the playoff run and one was a sprained ankle in the state game. 15 games and two injuries that caused players to miss a game. Other years we have had several go down and this year it has been kind of a nightmare with injuries.

[Who-dun-it!!?]

Snyder has had its share of injuries this year too. I guess no one remembers them but we lost a receiver in the Marlin game # 88, he's still out as far as I know. A key defensive player didn't play in the season opener # 1. And I know we lost one before the season opener with an ankle injury. So we are not imune to the injury bug. Snyder is a well rounded team, and I believe that they are capable of winning without some of those key players, But I sure don't want to risk it. Here's to good Health!!:smoker: :thumbsup:

how funny that lamesa is dismissed as weak when just a few short years ago they were doing just fine

i also remember when monahans was 4-6 and went to the semifinals as a 7-7 team

Sweetwater fans ride our behinds all week because they feel Snyder Fans are the only ones they can talk smack to. It's definately not Wylie fans cause Sweetwater has been Wylie's step child for the past....uhm..four years... and we end up winning proving everyone wrong.

Great game Tigers! Once again, Snyder didn't look like a one man team that was stated before. Offensive line turned in another great game, the backs ran hard, and the defense played good. Monahans had some problems holding on to the ball, but looking at the roster, they should be very good next year...they had a lot of sophmore and juniors playing. Great game Tigers and keep up the hard work!

[STANG RED]

Great job Tiggers. But there really wasnt much doubt about this one from people with any real football knowledge. Now that you've finally gotten past your last patsy for the year, its finally time to prove something. Graham or Argyle is finally going to put you to the test. I hope these many past weeks of playing weak teams have prepared you to finally play a quality opponant! Maybe they have??? Since my Stangs are done for the year I'll be rooting for Wylie and Snyder from here on out. Go gettum Tigers and Dawgs! Do West Texas proud!

Clay sets school rushing record, extends single-season scoring record

Snyder running back Will Clay (28) dances between a pair of Monahans defenders during the second quarter of the Tigers' 40-14 win in the Region I-3A Div. II Area playoff game Friday at Grande Communications Stadium in Midland.

MIDLAND -- For the second straight year, the Snyder Tigers have avenged a regular-season loss to Monahans by eliminating the Loboes from the playoffs.

This time, the payback came with a bit of interest.

Braving frigid temperatures at Grande Communications Stadium, the Tigers pounded out 432 rushing yards en route to a 40-14 win.

Snyder's Will Clay rushed for 225 yards and three scores to lead Snyder (10-2), which advances to face the winner of Graham (9-1) vs. Argyle (8-2) in the Region I-3A semifinals next week. The game is tentatively slated for Friday or Saturday at Shotwell Stadium in Abilene, with the starting time yet to be announced.

Clay, who entered the game with 2,194 yards and 31 touchdowns, surpassed the school rushing record of 2,355 set by Dee Walker in 2004. He also extended his Snyder single-season scoring record to 210 points.

Monahans, which was limited to 238 yards in total offense, finished the season 6-5.

"I thought we came out and played real well," Snyder coach Chad Rogers said. "I know we were excited to play and we played a good football team. They're traditionally one of the best programs in West Texas and we came out ready to play."

Scoring on six of their first eight possessions, the Tigers led 27-6 at the break, and 40-6 by the end of the third quarter.

Monahans mistakes aided the Snyder cause, including two picks thrown by Lobo quarterback Quincy Titus and six fumbles, two of which were lost.

"We had some blunders early, we couldn't tackle (Clay), and we couldn't keep the ball away from them," Monahans coach Mickey Owens said. "That was it in a nutshell."

Leading 8-6 midway through the second quarter, Snyder took control of the game with two touchdowns in less than four minutes. The first was set up by an interception by Stephen Bryant, which he returned to the Lobo 12. Two plays later, Clay scored untouched from five yards out.

On Snyder's next possession, a 4-yard touchdown run by Chase Arrendale gave the Tigers a 21-6 lead, ending a five-play 71-yard drive that featured a 36-yard run by Clay and a 15-yard run by Lance Day.

An 8-yard punt by Day into a stiff wind gave Monahans a brief opportunity for a score late in the first half, but that ended with a Brent Bollinger interception.

Snyder unexpectedly found itself in the Monahans end zone shortly thereafter.

Looking to kill off the half with a simple dive play, the Tigers got a surprise touchdown when Arrendale rumbled 72 yards through the heart of the Monahans defense as time expired. A 2-point conversion attempt failed when Day bounced a pass in the flat, leaving the Tigers with a 27-6 halftime edge.

It took all of two plays for Snyder to score again in the second half, when Clay dashed 75 yards to give the Tigers a 33-6 lead with 10:14 left in the third.

"The line was just blowing them off the ball and wiping them out," Clay said.

"When we got on the field, we didn't think about the weather or anything other than kicking the heck out of Monahans."

The rout continued on the Tigers' next possession when Arrendale raced 64 yards on another belly dive with 4:29 left in the third. Arrendale's score came five plays after Monahans' third turnover -- a fumble by Childress that Aaron Deloera recovered to give the Tigers possession on their own 12.

Arrendale finished with 158 yards on just seven carries, with three scores.

Monahans' final touchdown came with 2:18 to play when Childress found the end zone from four yards out, ending a 90-yard, 12-play possession that burned nearly six minutes from the fourth-quarter clock.

Snyder, which fell 41-32 to Monahans during Zero Week, played several defensive reserves down the stretch -- a dramatic change from the first meeting that had led to sharp criticism of the Tigers' tackling.

"We tackled a lot better today," Rogers said. "We prepared well for this and the defensive coaches did a great job of getting the kids ready to play.

"Tackling is desire and attitude -- not just technique."

That Tiger rushing attack scares me as a Vernon fan. Leary of another Vernon - Snyder match up. There is going to be some good football the next several weeks out here in West Texas.

The Tiger rushing attack continues to hit on all cylinders at this point of the season and the defense has really stepped it up as well. The biggest achilles heel for the Tigers will be the passing game and the kicking game. I know that the Tigers have averaged about 7-10 passing attempts a game at this point and have thrown with some success in some games. But in yesterdays game the passing attack was off with the attempts not being close to completed. If a game comes down to a field goal attempt to win the Tigers are in deep trouble as they struggle to make an extra point. I hope I am wrong and that when the passing and kicking games are needed that they will be there.

LOL. There won't be any crow eaten. All the ones who picked Monahans are just yanking you'll's chain. It doesn't matter who you play next week, Graham or Argyle, I promise you if Snyder325123456789 puts up a poll, G/A will have at least 10 more votes. At least some of those votes might be legitimate predictions but most will pick G/A just to hear you guys squawk.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

There was a pretty swift wind blowing right into their faces on the missed attempt yesterday.

It's not easy to do well in the kicking game when you are going into a 20 mile per hour wind all day. That's why they will continue, regardless of the weather. Championship teams run the football.

I am very aware of the weather since I was out in it and not in the press box. I don't know about Snyder_TigerFan but I know that you will have been at all the Tiger games this year and have seen the struggles in the kicking game. Take off you black and gold glasses and be a realist. I hope the Tigers do not get in this situation in the playoffs but I think if you will look back that the Canyon game hinged on this very situation. Championship teams may run the ball as you and Black Magic have so graphically stated but tell me what brought the Tigers back in the Canyon game when the running game was stuffed. The Tigers running game will be what takes them deep in the playoffs if they go deep but they better be able to pass the ball more successfully than they did yesterday or they could be in for a short run.

Congratulations Tigers, way to play hard. It was obvious that the team was well prepared. Keep working hard as you push to go deeper in the playoffs.

Correct! I dont want to ever hear anyone say that Snyder is a one man show... Cause thats def... not true.
