Sealy vs. Second Baptist

[Tiger4Ever]

Sealy will see what they are made of when Houston Second Baptist comes to town. I don't know much about Second Baptist so can someone help me out??

[Necked]

They have a good QB & receiver combo, some size & a little bit of speed. I'd say they are a typical private school, a handfull of better than average players, then a severe drop off of talent after that. They are not at the Jesuits, Dallas Bishop, St. Pius X level of competiton, but they are not dogs either. If Sealy farts around, they could get upset, but I recon Sealy will walk away in the 2nd half when all is said & done....

[Tiger4Ever]

Thanks for your input. Sealy will not allow Second Baptist's QB much time to throw because of a substantial pass rush and Sealy's offense will take care of business.

[Bull's-eye]

Sealy should win this game easily, probably 4-5 TD's.

[Tiger4Ever]

Sealy will win by a downright blowout.

Sealy didn't look good against a VERY bad Stafford team, so don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Second Baptist has maybe top Jr. QB in the state. 6'4" 200 Connor Wood. Getting recruited by every major school in the country.

Stafford may have looked bad and had attitude issues, but during the Sealy scrimmage Stafford was much more physical on the d-line than expected and then add a few early-season mental goof-ups from Sealy and then you get the opinion that both teams are bad. Sealy's offense began that scrimmage slow but against Houston Sterling a week later they only had one out of the first 30 plays that resulted in negative yards. The result of the first play alone was a 70-yard TD run.

You wont hear sealy fans saying they beat a very weak team, they will make it sound like they just beat the best team of all times. Playing these teams will get the tigers ready!

Sealy and Bellville and all the rest of the D25-3A teams in their six-team district have had scheduling woes. When you have to schedule five non-district games and you try to hold it within a traveling budget, it gets tough. There are only so many teams within a rural area who are available. And the strength or weakness of the TAAPS teams is up in the air. If you look at Sealy’s past, during the Mills era, the Tigers scheduled Second Baptist, St. Thomas and maybe some other such teams. And what did they do? Wasn’t there one stretch when they went 63-1 and won four straight state championships? Back then those TAAPS teams were pretty good. I watched Bellville play the Katy Christian team last year and they held their own against the Brahmas for a good while. Former BB your obsession over Sealy has me worried, you better get hold of yourself or you may fall out of one of those trees.

When you run over something and you tire goes boom.. Your car shakes frantically and you try to safely pull over. Then your stuck trying to change it, but you don't have any tools because you were heading to a business meeting. People drive by laughing at you without pulling over to help. You try to call someone, but you realize you are in bodunk country with 0 bars. Eventually someone lends a hand and you drive on a scrappy spare for 30 miles to the nearest WAL-MART. You get there to want to replace your tire, but they inform you that it will take 2 to 3 hours to replace it. You're now stuck in a small town's Wal-Mart with plentiful time to gaze each and every aisle.

Second Baptist always presented a strong challenge in the past, even to the great Sealy 4peat teams. Remember, the privates don't have to adhere to the UIL attendance zone rules and often manage to bring in really good players. I had a friend whose son played for Second Baptist during the mid-90s and he got a D1 scholarship. They lived about 25 miles away from the school, which is not unusual for out in the country, but they were in the big H. According to what I was told by the players in those days, the private schools played pretty dirty, lots of scratching, biting, and eyebal gouging in the pileups. Being the first game, I wouldn't look for a real big score, although Sealy should win. I'll be there to see what transpires.

Bellville did not play Katy Christian, they did play Houston Christian. I do agree on the difficulties of scheduling and Sealy came from a larger district, forcing them to scramble for 5 non-district games.

Tiger, I admire the Baptist Church.

[Tiger Turtle]

Phil - I also admire the Baptist church (even though I personally am a Methodist), but did you ever hear Jerry Clower's story about playing against Baylor? "..the meek shall inherit the Earth, and I had just inherited a mouth plumb full of it..."

After you turn 71 you sould have no more worries. Just worrie about being a good sportswriter!

[CenTexSports]

I think 2nd Baptist has an old friend of mine coaching there. He won a lot of games at Aledo and a State Championship at Grapevine.

If he has the players, it will not be a blowout.

[rancher]

The coach at Second Baptist is that coach, I know that he tried to get a head job at several schools all over the state. Yet he could not land a public school job. That should tell you something. He was hired by a personal friend of his who took the AD job at the same time. I know and like both of them, but facts are facts.

[rancher]

I also recall that when the coach left Grapevine, he took the head job at Weatherford and was ask to leave after a few years. Has been out of coaching since then until the job he has now.

Is your brother still coaching? The last time I spoke with him, he said he was going to retire when he turned 60.

Last night Second Baptist had questionable conduct that included defensive holding, facemasks, pass interference, and the usual late hits and cheap shots. What was amazing is that they where able to get away with all this...
