To have three division 1 players on an offense and still not make the playoffs in 3A?

There's more to the game than offense.

Count me as one of the ones that thought Bwood would dominate in 3A. I really cant believe they are 3-6 and will probably miss the playoffs. I bet there is a lot of grumbling going on at the local coffee shop.

I will tell you how it is possible. In the 4 distrtict games played, I dont think we have punted a single time. We have either scored or had a turnover(13 in district). I could not find official stat, but if we have punted it has not been more than once or twice.

The other side of that is opposing teams have not punted either. They either score or... well they just score. We have only caused one turnover in district and that was an interception against Wylie.

We do have an awesome offense but have just struggled on defense. I have become a believer in the statement defense wins championships!

It was said earlier that losing a certain player to Early wasn't going to hurt yall.....in hindsight, do you think losing that player did?

I know one player isn't the whole team, but I certainly believe it can effect the dynamics.

Just wondering!

Well it did not help but not there is more to it than his ability. Look at the 2A team he went to. While he was still healthy they were 1-2 with the only win against a team with absoutly nothing this year.

I know he would have prevented some of the long runs against us this year because with his speed he would have run them down. However he could not be everywhere on the field. I do not think he would have changed our record much.

Losing Vacarro probably didn;t hurt you much on the actual field, but it hurts the dynamics and pstche of the team.

They probably lost alot of confidence when he left.

JMO. I think the D would have been better, nothing special, but better and thus enable Brownwood to get some W's.

They can score with ANY team in 3A.

That kid Longoria is a talented player on the defensive side of the ball.
It all starts up front though. D-line for Brownwood is not their strength. You can't get pushed around and not be able to put pressure on the QB.

and he is just a sophomore...

By the way, did you see our Freshman running back last night? He was #38 and he is going to be a stud... shoot, I think he already is!

Personally I think it was a huge lose for them. As a top notch player he could have probobly stopped a few of the big plays they gave up before they even got started. With leadership he could have possibly inspired the other D players to play better also. One player can have a huge impact on a team, especially at this level. I've seen it happen many times before.
I believe Bwood will have lots of success at the 3A level in the long run, but they sure took their knocks this first season. But I have a feeling they'll come into next season with a whole different attitude, and a much better defense. Reality hit them square in the kisser this season, now lets see what they've learned from it.
