I didn't see him on crutches at all. I could be wrong though. Somebody around here said that the Giddings trainer said it was broken.

Yeah the bone came right through the skin too, it was pretty disgusting. I am not sure how he jumped up and walked off the field. JK

It is a sprain, will no more late in the week from what I hear.

might be right...i was unsure at first that it could be broken but i walked around with a broken bone in my foot for a while before i knew about it so i wouldn't put it past him not playing...

What everyone is forgetting is that Giddings is NOT a one man team. tsk, tsk...

Let's not speculate on players injuries. Remember they are just kids!

Don't get me wrong, I know people can do a lot on a broken foot, I have seen guys go a couple of plays before realizing it was really that bad. I was just picking at the broken foot theory, couldn't pass it up.

and i wasn't picking on brock...that kid is amazing...he's got such heart for the game...i was just stating what i experienced...it was tough...but im sure he can come back to give WOS a piece of the Brock's Stock

I broke my ankle my Junior year in football on the first play of the game. I went to the sideline, taped it up myself and went out and finished the game. I went to the doctor the next morning and found out it was broken.

I saw a kid from caldwell not get to play after breaking his ankle one time, bone through his tights, wasn't a pretty site.

and dont think for a minute i think giddings is a one-man show...i know the giddigns offense is capable of doing what LH does...embarrassing teams with ungodly numbers...but they choose to spread the field and wealth and control the tempo of the game...if they need a quick score...they have it...but why give the ball right back to the opposite offense...exactly my point...no one should call me a "oneman team caller"...jenke has a chance to reach 1000, brock will has a 1000, combinations of runnign backs could reach a 1000...plus if giddings drops back there is the possiblity for them to reach 3-400 yards in recieveing...so in no way was i referring to brock and giddings as a one man show...tsk tsk on you...:p

Doesn't giddings prefer to run the ball?

I know they have good athletes however I have heard that if you stop the run and get out in front (make them play catch up) then they are very beatable.

Your right even while hoping on one leg he runs a 4.6. Its just harder for him to cut upfield.

Whoever plays plays. I'm hoping it's him, since taking him out changes focus. Fortunately, we have the best DC in the state getting the Mustangs ready.

Is the backup QB out for a half as was previously reported? That kid was pretty good and was definitely a better passer than Fitzhenry from what I saw at the first round game.

This is so funny.You would think it was a national secreat the giddings people are trying to protect.If he plays or dosen't wo-s will be ready regardless.

I would like to see him play though because he has brought this team to this point and it would be ashame if he were unable to continue.

There is no secret, I believe it has been said, and is common sense that it is only Wednesday morning and he is probably receiving treatments everyday since last friday. The coaches are probably not even sure untill they see him today to see how he is reacting to the treatments. Tomorrow will tell more, and friday the game time decision will tell all. There is no secrets that he will not be 100%, and that giddings has probably prepared all week for Locke to be the qb.

With a week of practice at qb and his athletic ability, and what he has shown he can do in the past will keep the offense very effective.

This game will still be decided by defense. 21 points will be enough to win for either team I think.

Is Locke the starting CB and how much does Fitzhenry usually play at DB?

[i]This game will still be decided by defense. 21 points will be enough to win for either team I think. [/B]

I first have to feel for Brock, playing hard for all these years only to get hurt at the worst possible time. I think he deserves much applause for all of his accomplishments and not the crap that he gets from the jealous naysayers. He knows he's not a one man show. Come watch for yourselves. He does get pancake blocks and he can pick his way thru a maze. I look forward to his UT efforts.

The Buffs defense is awesome and well coached. They can and will hold their end of the deal up and more. They will be in the O's backfield about as fast as the ball gets hiked back there.

The offense is awesome too and will make adjustments to show that it is more than a "one man show". They too can make big gains from over-pursuit ( and under pursuit).

I know that this will be a great game. I hope and pray that it is injury free for all players and that the best team wins. Lets also hope that the refs are truly neutral and call a fair game keeping the tempers from flaring.

Gobbler84, this was a bold statement for someone who doesn't know what he is talking about.

Brock is one of the best athletes in high school football. But that alone doesn't make a team good, this team has talent across the board. Brock has thrown for a couple of TD passes this year, and w/ Locke they have more of a passing game yet. Defense wins championships and this game will prove that point.

I had the good fortune of seeing Fitzhenry play only several times and he is just amazing. I saw great players through the years, but he ranks right up there with the best high school players I've ever seen and I saw Dickerson, the Koys, Fred Smith, the Schobels and many more great high school football players. They are all a bit different, but Fitzhenry ranks right up there with the best. I just hope the Giddings fans understand how lucky they were to have had the good fortune of watching someone so gifted all those years. And hopefully they can watch him again Friday night.

If he can't pass, how is it that Giddings can't win without him? They won last week against Sealy and did not have him for the entire second half. So far, they haven't needed to pass, but Locke has proven he can pass if necessary (if he avoids being ejected). Not making a lot of sense to me here.

As someone posted before, it will be a gametime decision, surely.

Here's hoping that he is at 100%. :) And may the best team win.

I thought that Giddings' #91 was one of the best players on the field, an awesome defensive player. Heard he plays like that all the time. Believe Giddings will have to have a lot of that type of play to stay with WOS tonight.

So IF ya'll lose and ya'll are not a one man team, don't come back with any "but if's". I'm sure Brock is great, I never had the pleasure of seeing him play... may still possibly. AND, saying Gobbler 84 doesn't know what he is talking about is absurd :rolleyes:

If we win or lose, it will be a team effort or the refs efforts. Who are you to tell us we can't have any but if's. There might have been some Cuero "but if's" after your losses. I haven't looked at the old threads...

Gobbler 84 does know what he means, I just think Buff4ever read it the wrong way.

I just pray for a safe, injury free, fair game for both sides.
