[Who-dun-it!!?]

Lets hear it!!

[Who-dun-it!!?]

hate to be so bold, but I say

Snyder 40
Vernon 28

[grmfan93]

vernon by 3

[KingRob]

It's going to be close. Shoot, maybe even overtime. I'm going with Vernon.

Vernon - 27
Snyder - 24

[Who-dun-it!!?]

Had a Graham fan tell me last night that Graham shoulda beat Vernon. That true?

Also had a Vernon Fan say they didn't want anything to do with Argyle. Makes me wonder.

[Snyder_TigerFan]

Any insight where this one is going to be? Shotwell!! Shotwell!!:D

I heard Shotwell Friday 7PM.

[BobcatBenny]

Hope to see orange and maroon in Denton.

Such a lovely color combination.

[Who-dun-it!!?]

tonight was the first time I've seen Vernon Play this year. They look good, but I think they looked stronger last year. Argyle was really tuff last night.

Between the two I think Argyle looked better. And they held Will Clay to four TD's and 307 yds. Thats why I gotta go with the Tigers Next Week!!

[WylieBulldog92]

I'll take Snyder!

I agree with that, although it was hard to gauge Vernon against Seminole. Seminole's defense look good at times, but missed some tackles. The Indian offense wasn't pretty.

Argyle was good. After watching last night's game, it's hard to pick against the Tigers.

[grmfan93]

graham prbably shoulda won...we shoulda had atleast 3 more touchdowns....but my props go to vernon, they are a very strong team but not as good as last year

[runtherace]

I watched Snyder-Vernon last year, and have followed Snyder forever. From what I've seen of Vernon they aren'y as good as last year and Snyder is much better. Argyle was Snyder's big test with their passing game. I've not seen a running game as good as the tigers; don't believe another running team (next week anyway) can stick with them. The further the tigers go the more they are being validated. Friday in Shotwell will be no different. Snyder 40- Vernon 17.

[Get It In Gear]

Snyder was beat late in the game last year. Vernon had some key losses due to graduation. They still have some great athletes. The Snyder kids are 1 year older amd wiser. Snyder by 3 TD's

[Tromboneking]

Yes Graham should have beat Vernon. I was at the Snyder game last night...and as much as it pains me to admit this....Snyder is a GREAT team. I have seen them both now and here is my predicition:

Snyder 28
Vernon 21

[charlesrixey]

so Vernon is 12-1 at this point and last year they were 8-5 with the same regular season schedule

looks to me like Vernon is at least as good as they were last year, if not as reliant on a single running back

[SNYDER325TIGERS]

After seeing Vernon and Seminole play tonight i'll take the Tigers for sure!

Snyder 40

Vernon 14

[mchavez]

Man this looks very familiar. Oh yea ya'll all said vernon wasn't going to beat synder last year. Well unlike the snyder and graham fans i've seen vernon play more than once this year. Believe me vernon is a lot better than last year! The offense is a lot faster and the defense is a lot stronger! So go ahead and show your lion vs. tiger videos like last year, and we'll just beat you guys up and down the field like we did last year!

Vernon 24
Snyder 14

[VWG]

IMO- Vernon has a better team than last year.
Their offense, led by Williams, is quicker and they can throw better this year. William Miller was a good QB, but D. Miller seems more accurate. O-line has some size and does a good job.
Vernon also has a really good kicker, kid named Schur. Has a good leg and can hit from 40-43 yards out.
Vernon has a weakness on defense. Middle LB's are undersized and can get pushed around. Clay and Snyder were able to run on Argyle because Argyle's defense isn't that big. Vernon's defense, which has two way starters such as Miller, Daniels, and Whiteside have more speed than Argyle.

Vernon 24
Snyder 16

I wanted Arglye so we could shut up those Graham posters who claim Graham should have beat Vernon which is a joke. Vernon is the one who left points on the field and had two or three TERRIBLE calls against them. Vernon is a very good team but they have a weakness and that is run defense which makes me VERY worried about Will Clay. Vernon does have a stud saftey but that means that Will has gone for 15 before he Williams gets him. I hope Snyder's defense can be just a litte worse and give up more points to a Vernon offense who does have more options.

You make good sense, and I think Vernon has certainly earned there spot. But holding Snyder to 16 points will be nothing short of amazing. If Vernon can do that then they'll win hands down. But I'll be shocked if the Tigers are stopped at 16. Furthermore, you probablly better put up more than 24 to beat the Tigers.

[Dominicfrank]

Hate to say it but Vernon wins 45-35 or Snyder wins 45-35. My only hope is that Snyder absolutley can NOT throw the ball. If they have ZERO passing ability then Vernon can keep Willams and Daniels closer to the line and contain Clay, if they cant then we will have one of the scores i have listed. If they cant throw the ball then Vernon wins 38-21.

You are absolutely right. The only problem is, Snyder can throw the ball. They just don't need to do it very often. And Will Clay is certainly a domonate weapon. But not the only weapon. It might be closer than some of think. Sounds like Vernon has no doubts. Thats why we play the game. Can't wait for this one!!

[DaHop72]

Snyder has played a soft schedule this year. Will Clay is slow and only has the yards he has this year because defenders keep slipping down on the turf when they are fixing to tackle him. Will Clay is the only thing that Snyder has in their offense, it is nothing more than a one man show. Their offensive line is very small and very slow. Their defense is a bunch of short, squatty, slow kids who are lucky to get up and down the field. We have been very lucky to win a game this year because our coaches never have our kids prepared to play a game. We have been very lucky in spite of all this and have won a game or two. That is all.

Yes Snyder is apparently over-rated. I guess we don't stand a chance against Vernon. Argyle played there JV against us. We probably should just forfit before we get imbarrased.

[SNYDER325TIGERS]

Vernon didn't even act like they were glad to be were they are tonight, just kind of stood around. Seminoles D contained Vernons O the first half of the game pretty dang well.

[Z motion 10 out on 2]

It is almost hard for me to say this but Vernon did not play well tonight. Or at least their offense didn't. I know we scored 33 points but it should have been more than that. No disrespect, but Seminole was not that good. They did not have the athletes that Snyder has. Their defense kept our running game in check for most of the night. They also chased Williams our QB around quite a bit.

Our defense held Seminole to 3 first downs in the first half with the 1st one coming in the 2nd quarter. That was impressive. I know that the Indian offense is no where near as potent as Snyder's but Vernon's defense did an excellent job tonight.

Also for what it is worth, Graham had a good team this year but Vernon was better. If they had made it we would have beat them again. The game was played and Vernon beat Graham and since they are not playing us this week the who is better question was answered on the field.

As far as this game goes, Vernon is the reigning Region I champion. I also think that this years team is quicker and balanced. Last year we relied on Whiteside and he was all we had. He was awesome but we have a balanced attack this year. It will be a good game.

[lakers]

Vernon has been on a roll lately.
Vernon by 10

SO YOU BETTER BE READY VERNON OR CLAY WILL BREAK IT FOR 6. SNYDER IS PLAYING WITH LOTS OF CONFIDENCE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN THEM THE YEAR THEY MADE SEMIS THEY WERE VERY FORTUNATE THE BALL BOUNCED THERE WAY BUT THIS YEAR THEY ARE GOING AFTER IT EARNING IT YOU CAN STOP ONE MAN BUT THEY USE THE REST OF THE TEAM ENOUGH ON OFFENSE TO CONFUSE DEFENSES AND THEN AGAIN THERE IS CLAY FOR 6.

VERNON.

[Dominicfrank]

I know Clay is a great runner but I have seen Vernon lose with the likes of Chedrick Ricks (Baylor), Bernard Scott(ACU, top RB in the country DII), Dexter Butler, Terrance Gains (OSU), etc...... Those teams all lost to teams that had a better balance and good defense. NOt saying that means Clay will not take Snyder past Vernon but great RB's in the past who are their teams only offense have been stopped pretty regularly this deep in the play offs before.

That was very tough to read, but overall, you summed it up pretty well. I too think this is a better team than the '04 team. The '04 defense might have been a little better, but this offense is much better. The defense has really played better than they did in the first 4 or 5 games. If Snyder keeps up their intensity and drive......look out.

Clay has 2700 + yards so are you telling me that every team that we played had undersized defensive players?:rolleyes:

[runtherace]

Just a thought, if Snyder does get by Vernon, they might very well have two more 1000 yard rushers this season in addition to Clay's 3000. Doesn't sound like a one-man show. It could be a very good offensive line, however.

Nope, he's a little bigger than that....although he hasn't played much the last 2 games. He can be a playmaker. I expect to see him a little more in the next game (or at least I better).

After watching the Tigers all year and watching the Lions against Graham I feel that for Vernon that they must control Will and on the flip side I feel that the Tigers must control Williams. I don't think that either team consist of a one man show. Due to the Tigers offense Will gets the majority of the carriers just as Whiteside did last year in Vernon's offense. I personally believe that the defense will be the key to the game for both teams as Vernon has problems with the running game and Snyder has a problem with the passing game. I believe that the defense that steps up and makes the stops will send their team to a Quarter-final berth.

Look for Vernon to shut out Clay and Snyder will suffer.


Sounds like the words from a sore loser, making excuses for losing, first to Vernon and then to Argyle. The weather conditions two weeks ago should have affected Argyle more in the spread, but they played like champions and found a way to win and advanced. Friday's game was one of the best that I've seen in a while between two great teams. Clay got 300 plus yards, but most of the credit goes to the guys in the trenches.

[lion75]

Can someone give us that don't know a little info on the Snyder coaching staff. Do they have a lot of playoff experience? Were they there in 04? Seems like Vernon's get better and better into the playoffs at gameplanning and play calling.

yes he's our DT, a great one i must add esp. in the playoffs....and one more thing we have more then 1 playmaker heres a small list for ya: Offensive: Clay, Day, OFF. Line(they dont score the TDs but they do enough to make teams pay the price), Arrendale, Bollinger, Claxton, Escobedo, Knipe, Conner; Defensive: Bollinger, Conner, Hirt, DeLoera, Davis, Billingsley, Turner, Claxton, Rivera, Bryant, Garcia; Special Teams: Bollinger, Claxton, Conner, Rose, Rivera, Ferruzca, Robertson

My point is our team is full of playmakers, we have a full roster of athletes with unbelievable athletic abilty

[force1]

offense wins games defense wins championships its going to depend which defense steps up the most

NOt saying that means Clay will not take Snyder past Vernon but great RB's in the past who are their teams only offense have been stopped pretty regularly this deep in the play offs before.

I don't know I would be bragging because Baylor is the whipping boy every year in the big 12, ACU is Division II and Oklahoma State is just a little better than Baylor.

Most of the staff have been there since 2003 when Rogers was promoted. Going into Friday's game, they are 9-3 in the playoffs.

He also comes from good bloodlines. His brother in 2004 was first team defensive end on the AP and state sportswriters all-state teams.

[pero chato]

I've picked Snyder in the first three rounds and have been accurate to 8 points. Round 4 Snyder wins by 6 possibly in overtime.

[mrescape43]

Snyder takes this 42-28!

[DukeNukem]

have seen both play early and late in the season. if snyder doesn't do anything stupid and keeps running their base stuff with about 75% to clay, 25% to day and arrendale, they will win by double digits. just my 2 cents

[STANG RED]

Snyder should win this one, but I dont see it being nearly as high scoring as some of you. Vernon's one weakness is the center of the D line, and I think Snyder will (should) exploit it. It will make for slow time consuming drives though. If Snyder just plays patient and keeps getting those 5 and 6 yard gains that Vernon will give up going between the tackles, they will be fine. If Vernon then starts to stack the middle to stop it, then is the time to get outside and/or do a little play action. Vernons D is very fast and can contain the outside very well, so you have to suck them into the middle before any real success can be had on the outside. Another thing that Vernon's D does is sell out overpersuing plays to the outside. I think they are very suseptable to the occasional reverse or backside screen. Of course that takes a little offensive imagination, so we never tried it, but everytime we tried running a play to the outside I noticed the backside would be wide open for the picking, because nobody stayed home to guard against it. Then again with our typical offensive play calling, I'm sure they felt like they didnt need to. And of course they were right. Maybe they dont play that way against everybody idk.
Anyway, Good Luck Tiggers. I think you can do it.

Wrong!!

Clay and Snyder were able to run on Argyle because they put 10 men in the box and got blown out by a dominate Offensive line. Clay is strong and when he is met in the defensive backfield he has a habbit of going through people without missing a step. Argyle was a great team, and that one could have gone either way. Clay only had 307 yds against them but had a few big runs called back due to penalties. He'll have another big game against Vernon. And our pass defense? They got it done against Argyle. And Argyle is by far a better passing team than Vernon. This one belongs to the Tigers.

Snyder 47

Vernon 17
Final

[Z motion 10 out on 2]

I look forward to a some great competition. I ran into Clay and a few Snyder players at the Vernon game. They were all very respectful and I expect nothing less than a great hard fought game. I'm so excited about this game.

Our defense really picked it up against Seminole. In particular our run defense. I will be excited to see how we do against Will and company. What a challenge we have ahead.

I know how the Snyder fans feel, after last year watching Vernon's Whiteside just run all over people. It was so much fun to watch and see how he would do. The games where so much fun to watch. Celina did a great job of stopping him last year. I think he still had over 100 yards in our loss though. The same thing can be said about Chedrick Ricks and Bernard Scott. It was so much fun to go and watch these guys play football. They were very talented and gave every team they played fits. I expect that Will Clay will do the same with the Lions. What a challenge we face to stop him.

Many people have stated that they think the Snyder team is better than last years team. I also know that this Vernon team is better. Our offense is much better with a solid offensive line and great QB play as well as the ability to throw the ball.

We had a great TD catch in the South end zone. If any Vernon coaches are reading (Throw a fade to #81 anytime we are in the red zone) -- thought I had to get that out there!

Vernon has given up some rushing yards and with the caliber of rushing attack that Snyder has, I expect that we will give up some yards again. But we have not given up a lot of points. Bend but don't break. Count on a sack, penalty, tackle for loss to set back an offense. We have been successful at that this year.

Also our special teams play has been very good. Kicker is great and he also punts very well.

Again, I can't say this enough, I know that this will be a great game. I know the Snyder fans are pumped to go and watch the Will Clay show, I also know that the Lions are pumped up and are ready to go and watch the Lions show.

It will be a competitive game, no doubt about it. In my heart I feel like the Lions have what it takes to defeat Snyder and get a rematch with Celina should they win.

I always enjoy reading your posts, but you should not interpret Snyder as just being the "Will Clay show". They are a solid team all around. The QB and FB can put up the yards and break tackles and score TDs just as easy. The Snyder O-line is a solid group who remind of last year's vernon line how they stay on their blocks. I'd be willing to bet that Will Clay will not be the only one to have a good game. If your line is weak in the middle like I am hearing, expect to see Arrendale have a great game....he's a great blocking back, but he's also a great runner.

Thank goodness the game is played on the field and not on a message board. The poll count here doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

Oh I'm sure he'll be going somewhere. Dee Walker went to SMU having only been in Snyder for a year. He had a stellar year, but Will's is even better. And he's been playing varsity for 3 years now. He was honorable mention all-state last year, and I'm sure he'll be 1st team this year. IMO he's one of the best backs in the state, at any classification.

With almost 3,000 yards and getting the exposure that he is, I bet he goes somewhere.

What the poster was saying is that Vernon has had some great backs. More than one and yet we only have 1 state championship.

It takes a team win more than just a great back. Not saying that Snyder doesn't put forth a team effort. This will be tested Friday night. Snyder may have it -- we will find out as I'm sure the Lions are ready for a challenge. Remember, they were last year when no one gave them a chance against Snyder.

When people key on Will and do a good job of it then that is when snyder uses its other weapons. Lance(qb), and Chase(fb) are deadly and have had big plays all season. People watch us sometimes and see Will get 280 yards and think that is all we have. It isnt but we aint gonna stop pounding him until someone stops him. When they stop him then they get to take there crack on the other too. I say Snyder wins a close one. Vernon is very good, they too have more weapons than last year, and I think Coach Hall does a great job there.

I'm guilty!

I didn't give Vernon a chance to get past Sweetwater last year. Boy was I wrong. I feel like Vernon will stuff Will Clay on the first few plays and get a roar from there crowd. Then they'll be deflated as Will and the Tigers go Off!

Vernon must be a very good team, but I was not impressed in there last game. Sadly its made me a little overconfident. Just like I was last year. We know how that turned out. Being all I have to go on is seeing Vernon destroy Seminole, it puts me at a disadvantage in not truly knowing Vernon's capability. That and there record should indicate a good game.

You can't go by one game to judge how good a team is... If that was the case, I'd say Vernon was mediocre at best when they played Seminole, but I know better than to judge the lions based on that one game...:p

Wow thats news to me. Can you not be a great team with more than one loss? Argyle was a quality opponant. I think Vernon is a good quality opponant as well. But No doubt Argyle would have been a huge test for Vernon, as will Snyder.

[Z motion 10 out on 2]

Several Snyder posters have made coments about how the Lions didn't look too good against Seminole. Lets see:

33-3

33 points seems to be a lot and 3 seems to be a little.

Vernon whipped Seminole by 30 points.

I hate to see what Vernon would have done to Seminole had they played well or been a better team.

This really blows me away.

[Snyder_TigerFan]

IMO, it's not that Vernon looked bad but more that Seminole was NOT a good team. It was hard to gauge Vernon against Seminole. I think Vernon should have been able to put up more than 33 on them - like 33 in the first half. But like you said, 33-3 is a whooping and Vernon's defense did contain Seminole very well. Should be a great game Friday, can't wait!

It shouldn't, I think Vernon looked great against Seminole. But I think Vernon's JV would have looked pretty good against Seminole. I think what they are saying is that Seminole was no contest for Vernon. Argyle was a hugh test for Snyder. That being said Snyder vs. Seminole would have had a similar outcome. Vernon is no doubt ready for the Tigers. Snyder is no doubt ready for the Lions. My opinion, Argyle would have blown out Seminole as well. But Argyle and Seminole are now on the hardwood so that leaves us all to ponder the what-if's.

Someone said Vernon wanted Argyle to prove Graham was no fluke. I'd say Snyder vs Wylie would've been fun to see. Those games ain't gonna happen this year so we have to settle for each other.

Thats romantic, "we only have each other":cool:

It's the same old story. Unless you look like the Mavericks or

seems to be working out for San Antonio.:thinking:

[Z motion 10 out on 2]

I do agree with what you all are saying. Seminole was not lacking heart but they did lack talent and the coaching was the worst I have seen this year.

Do not go for it on forth and 2 or 3 against a team that you can't get a first down against. Especially on your end of the field!

Man that was bad.

That is what I was thinking... I'm no coach, but wouldn't you want to make a team go the length of the field instead of 20 or 30 yards to score? :confused: :confused: I think their fans were not happy with the coaches....

That was no coaching error. They knew they were overmatched and if they were gonna beat Vernon, They'd have to have some lucky breaks. It didn't work out for them. But I don't think playin it safe would have worked out for them either.

But I don't think playin it safe would have worked out for them either. The fake punt with a half yard to go was just silly. Why not just line up in a formation and go for it. The fourth and five on there own 25 was one of the worst calls I have ever seen. There was three minutes left and the wind was at there back. A JV kicker could have kicked it 35 yards. Seminoles punter could have put them on there own 30. It didnt work so its easy to dispute, hey if he makes it then it is a great call i guess.

I think a team with a lopsided record like Vernon with 1 loss, or Snyder and Argyle with 2. Celina with 0. And several others are great teams.

A 5-5 team is probably a good team if they had a quality schedule. But a team with 10+ wins, thats a great team. And yes I think Vernon is a great team.

In 1990 Vernon was 16-0 and won the state championship by 21 points. THAT was a great team. Daingerfield, Southlake, and Sealy also had some that come to mind. There are others. That Vernon team faced 13-0 Childress in the Region 1 championship and had them down 41-6 at the half before calling off the dogs early in the 3rd qtr. They beat 14-0 Southlake in the semis and 15-0 Crockett in the finals. My point is that even a 13-0 quartefinalist will get blasted by a great team. Hopefully Vernon or Snyder wind up in that category, but argyle's 07' squad will not be classified as "great". (IMO)

Thats a good point. But how bout a team with a so-so regular season record who overcomes the nay-sayers and goes deep into the playoffs like Vernon did last year. I think thats a great team. Do you have to win it all to be a great team? Jasper lost to Gilmer in 2004, but they were a great team.

I know, I know, you guys are not telling me anything that I don't or haven't thought of already. I really do have a job (I'm a college professor) and we have our program evaluation to give to the Dean, Vice President as well as our academic standards fellow. We are doing a PowerPoint presentation of all the data that we have collected to show that students actually do learn. All six members of our department are involved, so even if I was sick I would still have to come in. So it sucks.

If we do lose like TigerPride said, it would save me a long drive home. But I'm hoping for a win as I would like to see the Lions play again next week! My daughter is a senior so this could be the last game that I get to see (I'm moving during the summer -- so I don't know when it will be that I get to see a Lions game again) :( :(

So the Lions will have to do it without me. I know this will be such a great game...last years game was tough and I don't expect anything less this year.

KTA was so unimpressed after seeing Vernon play, that he risked his existance on this board that they couldn't possibly beat Graham, who was rolling at the time. Even though Williams scored all three TDs in the 25-7 victory over Sweetwater, Stownhorse said he was unimpressed. One reason for this, I believe is that Vernon has historically ran their most basic stuff to start a game and if they feel like things are going OK, they stay vanilla. It can be boring and unimpressive, but, If they find themselves in a battle like they did against Graham, then they break out the good stuff. Against Sweetwater at the most crucial part of the game. on 3rd and 7 after Sweetwater had pulled within a TD, you saw some more of what you saw at Graham. Just because you don't see it against Seminole doesn't mean we're not working on it it practice and that it doesn't exist. Vernon may or may not win this week, but I predict that you will be more impressed with them than you were before.

That would be it. I tried to size him up when he walked past me
under the scoreboard at the Mustang Bowl. It's hard to tell
when they're in full pads. Hell, the TE looked 6'8" with cleats
and a helmet on when he walked by.

From the Abilene Reporter News

Snyder (11-2) vs. Vernon (12-1), Class 3A Division II Region I Final, 7:30 p.m. Friday, Shotwell Stadium -- This is a dangerous game for Snyder, which must keep Vernon's wing-T offense from chewing the clock to pieces.

The Tigers and coach Chad Rogers want possessions -- as many as they can get -- to give record setting-tailback Will Clay the 25-30 touches he's accustomed to. To do that, Snyder must get the football away from the Lions, who have played "keep away" well enough to bury eight straight opponents, including a 17-10 win over Graham on Nov. 2

I'll tell you another thing: Vernon coach Keith Hall has a keen eye for spotting where to attack a defense, and is well-known in coaching circles for his ability to make effective halftime adjustments. The Lions usually find a way to grind the clock, making every Snyder possession extremely important.

The Tigers have their work cut out for them here. But Snyder's big-play ability will be the difference in this matchup between two of the best-coached 3A teams in Texas.

Pick: Snyder by 3

Interesting, If I were to pick a team by 3 it would be Vernon as the Lions have an awesome kicker.

Texas Football Prediction:

READ THIS VERNON PLAYERS

Snyder (11-2) vs. Vernon (12-1): Snyder RB Will Clay is building a legacy that's going to have the locals talking for a long, long time. Coming into last week's win over Argyle with over 2,400 yards and 34 touchdowns was one thing, but dropping 298 yards and four touchdowns in a one-possesion playoff game is the kind of stuff they build statues of people for. Let's look at it this way - at one point, Clay had 229 yards on five carries. Five carries. Pinch me. There is a silver lining for Vernon - its defense was incredible last week, playing exceptionally well against a Seminole offense that had scored 49 the week before. The Lions weren't spectacular on offense but also didn't turn the ball over a single time, and when your defense plays like that and your offense doesn't cough up the ball, your going to win a ton of ball games ... just not this one, unfortunately. I think Will Clay continues to add to the resume and guides the Tigers to a 35-28 victory.
