Defense has held both teams to 75-76 yds. This will be a huge test for the Raiders with their young QB and O line.

Yes, of course....they'll be up for the challenge and it is especially a challenge when you play in Sealy...LOL. The saying is you're down by 7 before you step on the field in Sealy...

I figured you wouln't miss this game. I think Rice will take this one by at least a TD. The Raider's defense will be the key and should hold down, IMO a suspect Sealy offense. The Tigers have a very good defense, so I'm looking for a low scoring game. It may depend on which back can carry his team and that should favor Rice. This will be Sealy's first test to show they deserve their top 10 ranking and I think they fail to make the grade.

He will dominate. Prepare me for Crow!

Our QB went to Miami and we still have our RB along with the two receivers. We have 3 starters on the line and most of the defense has returned. The coach's son is our QB and is a soph. He has been handling himself pretty well, for someone of his age and experience. He isn't very big, but he has a gun and is accurate, and has good scrambling ability.
Our defense has only allowed 75 yds. in the first two games. Should be an interesting game.

Downey rushed for 725 yds last season compared to 2643 yds for Rice's Zach Foster. DCTF stated that Foster is a "highlight reel waiting to happen". Downey is a good back, but not in the same class as Foster.

How many yards did Downey get against a weak 2A Hempstead team? I don't know how many he got. Sealy had a grand total of 3 non district games last year. The rest were against pretty good defensive teams in 24-3A. Stafford was the only team that really sucked last year....

Rice played a district full of weak 2a's and Foster got ALL of the carries.

I'll let Sealy's performance speak for itself.... It also doesn't hurt Foster's stats that they played like 3 or 4 more games than sealy.

Bellville beat Sealy 35-7. Yea, but you and I know that Sealy got much better as the season went on. That same Sealy team nearly beat Giddings in the playoffs. It's amazing what time will do huh?

You may be right about 25-26 bi district matchups. Time will tell, Sealy sure as hell got ALOT better as the season went on last year. Who says we can't do the same?

I would expect Sealy to win this one. Should Sealy take this easily I think they would earn the right to be considered one of the best teams in Region IV along w/ Cuero.

Sealy is already in my opinion one of the top teams in Region IV, I just haven't seen them play yet and I don't think they have had a big game yet.

I agree with you. Rice is a very good football team, All I am saying is that this can be a big win for Sealy. I think this win can give them a boost of confidence and put them as a serious contender for the Region Iv title.

This will be a good game, I THINK Sealy will come out o top but not by much.

My guess:
Sealy 27
Rice 20

Have you ever seen Downey play!?!?!?! You must not because those stats from last year was a result of sharing time with another good back (Harrison) and if you have seen him play you would notice his uncanny ability to find a crease, hit it, and he can also make even excellent tacklers miss in the open field. Rice's running back got so many yards because he was a main weapon last year for a team that played a soft schedule.

No it wont. Sealy's QB has grown up substanually already and Sealy does have some pretty good recievers and a few more good backs. Sealy's offensive line is full of big road-graders that will open up HUGE holes against a some-what small Rice defense.

Rice won't have to defend the run as much if Downey is out and will be able to drop back in coverage more.

Downey opens up your passing game.

I have seen him play a couple of times and recently in the scrimmage vs Stafford. Most of his yards were due to him breaking off the original play and taking it against the grain. He turned one busted play into a good gain. He was a non factor in their 35-7 loss to Bellville. Not sure how you all can discount Foster's total because he was the main weapon. If Downey is that good, Sealy coaches would be a fool not to use him as their primary back. I have seen many great running backs over the years and Downey has not yet reached that level. I'm looking forward to see Foster and if he is a combination of Spears/Huffman, watch out Tigers!

Or is he a senior? I dont think so but maybe.

He could reach that status. Anyway you slice, he split carries with Harrison last year and did his job. 11 Td's in limited time is not bad.

He will get more yards and carries/catches this season as long as he stays healthy.

Sealy's defense is there. Let's see if their offense can get it together. Sealy has the potential to be dangerous. As stated before, we all know how much Sealy improved over the course of last season. This should be a good game as the Raiders always come to play.

Rice Consolidated 20
Sealy 22

This will be a good game. I don't think you guys realize how much better Sealy is then you are giving them credit for. There are two other backs besides Downey who are waiting to break out and I think they both played amazing last night, albeit against a weak Hempstead team. Sealy's QB is also going to surprise a lot of teams. He has great decision making and what helps is his passes don't have to be on the money due to the large receivers he has to throw to. The defense so far has been shaky but I believe it will come together by district. This will be a good game but I think Sealy takes it.

09-08-2008, 08:07 AM

Having seen both of Sealy's games so far this year, I would say that they made quite a bit of improvement between Week 0 and Week 1. They gave up a ton of yards on 3rd & long to a Second Baptist QB who looked like he was waddling down the field but somehow seemed to be pulling away from Sealy's defenders. The D tightened up a lot against Hempstead, but Hempstead was really thin and they lost two of their best linemen to injury. Sealy's offense has been getting better, although their RBs seem to lack any real breakaway speed. After Downey went out against Hempstead, their other backs were steady but not spectacular. The passing game is fair and Krenek threw the ball much better last week, although he suffered from four or five stone drops. Don't know about this week, but if Sealy continues to improve like they did last season, they will be pretty good by district.

:iagree: I'm very curious to watch Sealy play, hopefully they are better than what I witnessed in the Stafford scrimmage. I'm still not sold on them being a top 10 team or even a top 20 team. The experts go back to their close lost to Giddings, but I think Giddings came out flat and got caught looking ahead to WOS. Brock getting hurt didn't help matters either. Rice will be a good test for the Tigers and probably too much of a test. Rice by at least a TD.

If Sealy does not beat Rice by aleast 2 TD's, they will struggle to make the playoffs in our District. If I remember correctly didn't Rice barely beat Wharton and Smithville beat Wharton by 2 or 3 TD's. Correct me if I am wrong.

Can't always go by those common scores. In the Rice/Wharton game, the score was much closer than the actual game. Rice total yards was 353 compared to Wharton's 75. Wharton scored on a 77 yd fumble return and a 78 yd INT return. If Rice takes care of the ball, we are probably looking at a 34-7 game.

Wharton had 75 total yards in a game that went to overtime and you think they deserved to win? Wharton had 27 yards rushing for a 0.82 yards per carry. I figure if Rice converts on those 2 drives, instead on Wharton scoring 2 TD's the other way, you have a possible 34-7 game or at least a 27-7 game. Rice fails to convert you still have a 20-7 game. Rice statistically dominated this game and the score didn't tell the true story. Rice also missed a PAT.

Let me get this straight, you think Rice a 2A team that barely beat Wharton which got beaten pretty bad by our predicted last team place team in District (Smithville), will beat our predicted District Champion ( Sealy). I have not seen Rice's running back everyone is talking about however I have seen the Pratt kid from Navasota and as good as he is it still takes more than 1 player to win at the 3A level. Sealy by 2 to 3 TD's, if not than our District race will be wide open.

I have seen Foster play a number of times and he is a very good back. However, he isn't big. Unless he has grown a bunch, I just don't believe he weighs more than 165-170 if that much. Because of his size I don't believe he will create a lot of D-I interest.

Downey fits that description as well, but he could get bigger. Saw them both run track and Downey is faster. Both are very good high school backs and chances are that is were their careers will end. This is simply my opinion.

Hopefully I'm wrong and they both become great D-I players.

Sealy might of dodged a bullet. IMO, Rice was capable of giving the Sealy Tigers their first loss. Rice's defense held Wharton to 75 total yards and I just read where Wharton had 341 total yards vs Giddings. I was sure looking forward to this game and thought it would give all of us a better read on this Sealy team.

You are right Rice would have been sealys best game in pre district, maybe sealys 1st lose. With the game being called off, sealy can find a game for thier off week, Oct, 3rd any teams need a game for that week? Snook just started to play football this year.

Looks like the tigers will get thier 1st real test@ Giddings.

OKAY, I will stir the pot with FBB. Sealy is scheduling an easy pre-district schedule to build up the kids confidence.

Now we all know that this is to enter the game against giddings and hope that the kids feel they can win. At the end of that night, giddings will have torn their confidence apart and send them on to a bellville that can't wait for them.

Your disdain for Sealy must really eat you up. I was apart of the rivalry and know from first hand expierence how heated it is but I that will not keep me from saying that Bellville has a good team this year and are going to give a lot of teams more than they can handle. Why can't you do the same for Sealy?

Maybe, FBB doesn't believe they are that good. He has a right to his oppinion and from what I saw in their first scrimmage, Sealy is over-rated. Let's see them against a quality opponent and we can see who is right.

They have come alnog way since that scrimmage and it goes beyond him thinking they aren't that good. Everytime Sealy is mentioned he goes out of his way to make a negative statement. If you are making your claim to how good they are off the first scrimmage of the year, then you have no basis to make a claim at all.

They didn't really blow out the private school and they did struggle in the first half of the Hempstead game. I have talked to my friend in Sealy and he said they haven't played like a top 20 team. I wanted to see them against good team like Rice, but Ike took care of that. I'm not just basing my opinion on the scrimmage.

I agree they haven't played as well as the should but it is early in the season and this team will only get better. I was also looking forward to the Rice game but oh well. If the team that showed up the second half of the Hempstead game shows up for a full game and improves each week, Sealy will be playing like a Top 10 team and shut all the critics' mouths.

With Sealy being a veteran team, I wouldn't expect the kind of improvement like last season. The 2007 Tigers were young and learning a new system, but this year's squad returned many players and has had a full year under Mitchell.

Yes, it's early in the season and Sealy will get better, but that also applys to most of the schools in the state. :thinking:

That quality opponent wont come till Giddings, unless the tigers pick up a good opponent in their open week.

The Tigers will be O.K.. I was part of the last team to beat the Rice Raiders in O.T. It is good that the game got cancelled. Having a 2A team beating up on you is not good. Now we need to concentrate on the rest of the season and get out of District. Go Tigers.

Sealy has a very good team. They have a ton of skill players and return the majority of their defense which was very impressive last year. If they can keep it together they will make a good run at a district title. Rice would have been a great test.
