Who wins and why? It will not be the matchup that we were all expecting. Sealy has lost their stud running back in Downey. They come into this ball game with a 3-1 record after losing to St. Pius at home 14-7 only gaining 120 yards on offense. The Rattlers come into the game with a 3-0 record. After an unexpected three week layoff thanks to Hurricane Ike, the Rattlers finally played their first game beating Bryan Rudder 58-3.

Rattlers by 28.

Sealy makes it a close game for a while but Navasota finishes strong and wins by 4 TD's

Dont worry after the coaching staff says they are sorry to the Downy he will be back. Everyone knows that if he is gone, the season is gone. Believe me, they will beg him to come back and say, we had a misunderstanding. Navasota by 7.

People will make up whatever they want to make up! The truth is no one but the coaches & players involved know the absolute truth!

10 players could have witnessed whatever went down and you'd get 10 different stories.

Either way it has nothing to do with anyone outside of Sealy!

the coaches will lose the respect of the T E A M and once the respect is gone - so is the discipline and pride. Good luck to the rest of the players this season, what an unfortunate situation.

To be honest, even before Downey was kicked off the team, I didn't think that Sealy had what it took to beat the Rattlers. I think that the game would be (could have been) closer with Downey. Sealy's defense is not bad, but I think Navasota's offense will be too much especially if Sealy's offense struggles like they did against St. Pius.

navscanmaster
09-27-2008, 04:06 PM
If we don't have four more fumbles, then I would say Navasota should win by at least 3 TDs. They looked sloppy in ball protection against Bryan Rudder, even though Rudder kept giving the ball right back. Other than that, there wasn't much rust in a 58-3 victory. I look for Sealy's defense to bring the heat and try to contain Dexter and force QB Stokes to make bad throws. If they can do that, it will be close. If the Rattler line does a good job, Navasota will dominate. I wish Sealy had all their guns going for them, but that is just the way it is. Navasota 42-14.

I don't know what the story is with Downy but why in the world would a coach(es) grovel at a players feet, no matter who they are? If it was a disciplinary action, then it should stick...no ifs, ands or buts.

I would like to say we are going to win, but after the performance last night, I can't. Our D will keep us in it but we are going to have to totally re work our offense. As far as Downey goes, an assistant told me if he apologizes to the coaching staff and team and does some extra running he will be allowed back on probation and if he does one thing he is gone for good. That tells me he won't come back because he is a very stubborn kid. Sealy will work out its kinks by district and will be playing great ball going into the playoffs. Mitchell is to good of a coach to not have these kids ready.

I just hope whatever happens is for the better of the team and the school, not the individual.

As far as the game goes, Sealy had better figure out some way to score points, because the Tiger defense won't be able to hold off Navasota. Navasota has punted once in three games. I hope they do step up and challenge the Ratter offense, though. I don't like blowouts, they are boring for one side, and blood curdling for the other.

Same here. Blowouts are not good for either team involved. I think our offense just needs to find its rhythm. Our OL looked really out of sink. I am almost glad we lost the St Pius game because it shows the kids they aren't just going to show up and win. Better to have a game like that now, then when you are down to the game that may send you to the playoffs.

Thr Rattlers have the wepons to play anybody. Pratt has very few carries this year and still averages about a first down per carry. Stokes is passing with unreal efficiency and accuracy. Jackson catches anything thrown in his direction. Lamascus is a tough possession reciever that will find an open spot. The Rattler defense is much better than I had even hoped it would be. Sealy should not be overlooked though. Even without Downey, they have good athletes and can regroup. I think that they will be fine after adjustng the offense for the Downey absence. But, this week will belong to the Rattlers playing at home and for Homecoming. Rattlers by 21.

What do you expect them to do? The coaches are in a bad spot, you kick a kid off the team, and then make up after the 2nd time and let him back? What kind of message will that send to the rest of the team? Its ok if we get in trouble, we can still play?

The coaches let the team captains decide if he got to come back. From what one of them told me Mitchell said he didn't care one way or the other and it was up to them. That tells me the captains plan on keeping him inline.

Mitchell kicks him off, then he is going to let the players decide, if he comes back? Now it comes down to winning or discipline.

It's not all bad to let the kids decide if he comes back. Most of the time they will be harder than a adult on what he must do to get back.

I'm for giving kids a chance to change but at some point enough is enough. Has that point been crossed already?

If the coach and players want Downey back, that is up to them. I would not want to be the coach that let the team make the choice--because suddenly my authority means nothing anymore. If the coach can live like that==OKAY!

Rattlers still win big no matter who they put on the field because the team appears to be in turmoil and even fighting among themselves. This is a team sport and no individual is above the team.

Well, with Downey, I wasn't impressed with Sealy. Im not sure what everyone else sees when watching Sealy, but I sure as h*%% don't see it. Someone please help me figure it out. I love football and I like to tell it like it is. I'm impressed with Liberty Hill, Bailey, QB at Jasper, in the game versus Navasota, Whaley from Madisonville, Giddings defense last season, China Spring last season, Navasota's offense, Sealy team play last season, etc....

I know that this message will run some people hot, but, you will get over it. Im just want to know why all the hype over Sealy? And, Im sure, some may say, why all the hype over Navasota...So be it....

I guess we will see come Friday....

Sealy really looks to have been overhyped to this point. Friday is the deciding point. If they have a close loss or win, then they can be counted on to remain tough the rest of the year, and maybe even regain some of that hype. I hope they are preparing themselves, because devoting 7-8 to contain the running game with Pratt and Stokes, and then trying to play man defense on three to four receivers every down is what the dilemma is. If you try to play a zone defense to contain the passing game, spy Pratt with your LBs or DEs, now you lose Stokes for a TD. Believe me, it has happened. Most people forget how small and quick Stokes is, and it sucks to contain the big recruits only to have the QB run for 100+ on you.

That said, if there is one team that has a history of giving Navasota's offense fits, it is Sealy. So I look for the toughest defensive unit the Rattlers have played all year to hit hard and make them put up or shut up.

Thats true, but I believe that this unit may be Navasota's most potent offensive unit in some time...Even better than the teams with Chris Smith and company or Roderick Wilson, Willie Willams, and Jermaine Henderson and company.

Strength of schedule is important and favors Giddings, but I think Smithville might sneak up on some of the competition this year and force a tie breaker. In a tie breaker they only look at district scores so non-district doesn't matter. If the Buffs beat Smithville by a couple of points but lose to a team that the Tigers beat handily and both end up 3-2 Smithville wins the tie breaker. That almost happened to the Leps in 2006 but fortunately Bellville made a huge comeback late in the game against Caldwell to get them into the playoffs.

I am thinking it's gonna be Bellville (my kids go to school there), Columbus (my old alma mater) and I don't know who. That's my "heart" talking and not based on anything. But what it really comes down to is who stays healthy and keeps their head in the game all through District. After all this is high school football...anything can happen. I wish all the teams in D25 the best of luck and like I said on another post it's gonna be one H*LL of a ride through district. I think we are in for some really good football.

might be lost here...but are you saying that if smithville and giddings are both 3-2 but giddings beat smithville barely and smithville beats a team that beat giddings...smithville would have the tie-breaker?

wouldn't it (if smithville and giddings are the only two tied) come down to head to head comp....sending giddings to the playoffs...now if you add a third team...then wouldn't it come down to points differentials among the three teams tied....plus/negative points among only those tied teams?????? are ya'lls district tie-breaker rules different then most?......or maybe i just didn't understand or read you post right.

What happened to the running back? Apparently he wasn't lost to injury... And if he were playing how do you think the game would turn out? I think Sealy would start off good but then fade away as the Rattlers would continue to pour it on. Either way I would have Navasota winning comfortably.

So how do ya'll think the game would turn out if Downey was playing? Serious question. No sarcasm in it

I heard they were PUNISHING :rolleyes: him untill district play....anybody else heard this?

Don't know much about the head coach there, but this would seemingly be heading back to the TJ Mills days in sealy, and not necessarily talking about the winning part of those days as much as the ankle bracelet wearing acceptance by the head coach.

I wouldn't be shocked if Sealy isn't luring Navasota into a false sense of security and wants them to relax a tad too much for Friday's contest before the player returns in full force.

The players were making the decision if he came back, not the coach. What if there were grades involved who would make the decision. The students or the teacher?

Here we go again, St. P did us in. Navasota will definately do us in. We didn't have to play Rice thanks to Ike. They would have kicked our A#$. I never would have thought that Mitchell would put up with what has been going on. running 5 miles a week in nothing. Schulenburg players had to run 20 miles in one week for drinking. Coach Mitchell is a fine football coach, he will handle the situation fine. Go Tigers

When District starts we at least have Columbus at home. If history repeats itself Columbus will fold like an old suitcase. They have a hard time coming into Tiger stadium. Strange things happen to them here.
columbus hasn't played anybody with exception of Needville and Needville sucks. Too bad the Hallettsville game was cancelled. We would have an Idea how good they are. This being said , I think we can make the playoffs. Go Tigers:eek:

How long is Downey out? Season?

Sealy was my early season favorite in Region VI. I thought they had the kids to contend for a region VI title this yr. Last weeks loss kind of made me question that. Navasota is bigger and is playing with a great deal of confidence, Navasota should be the favorite to win this one. I am going with Sealy just because I "hope" they rebound after a tough loss at home. Sealy will have to rely on some underclassman to step up and there defense will have to be spectacular.

Sealy 30
Navasota 28

Gotta watch the Freshman game tomorrow. My brother in law should finally be starting on the D-Line. I have been teaching him how to tackle since junior high, since that was Navasota's biggest problem on D back in the days.

As far as I am concerned, it is. I will resurrect the m&g thread and see how many people can make it. The purpose of that spot and that time is so that the Sealy people can meet with us, and, since Homecoming starts before the game, the Navasota people and others that may sit on our side can get in and find a seat on time. I have reserved tickets so it doesn't matter to me anyway. I will be able to meet anybody else at halftime on our side, location TBD anywhere but the concession stand.

Teetle, maybe you should preview before you post. Columbus has not played anybody with the exception of Needville? I know we haven't played the powerhouses of Hempstead, Second Baptist, or St. Pius, but the kicker for us is that we have won the games we were supposed to win and even won the game we were picked to lose by 15 pts. Sealy beat a fast Brookshire team which was a good win. To say Needville sucks is a slap in the face to a good program and a good coaching staff. My own personal opinion, maybe you should not stir the pot in a very tough district! :mad:

I sure hope that this game is close. But, from what I have seen from Navasota versus what I have seen from Sealy, I don't see Sealy being able to compete a full 4 quarters with the Rattlers. Anything is possible, yes, but, I dont see it happening tomorrow. Sealy should prepare themselves for La Grange, Bellville, Giddings, Smithville, & Columbus. From what I saw tonight, La Grange is very effecient on offense, particularly in their passing game. Sealy will have it rough come district if they can't find someone else besides Downey to spark the offense. In Sealy's game versus Royal, IMO Royal would have won if they had an offense. Sealy, La Grange does. And, they are going to eat your defense alive if you are not prepared.

Good Luck to both teams.

Go Snakes!

Not at all, but after seeing them struggle against St. Pius without Downey, and from what is posted in the Sealynews.com, they will be without Downey again, I just wonder how much offense the Tigers will be able to muster up. I hope that the game is competitive all the way to the end.
