This should be a good game. Next week, November 21, 2008. I just had to bring this quote back up from a Sealy fan from the Sealy vs Needville game thread

I haven't seen Sealy play this year, so I have no idea how fast they are. Will it be a track meet? Only time will tell. To quote Teetle - "speed kills" - we'll see who has the speed next week.........

I am listening to the post-game show and it "looks" like the game is tentatively set for next Friday night @ El Campo..... (that is NOT confirmed)

Next weekend.

Needville was too slow. Cuero= MUCH faster.

Contain Downey... which they will.... and Cuero wins. No way they stop Arndt and Jackson.

I hope this game is in Victoria. I want to go.

:)

If it's at VM, I will be there.:)

Cuero by 21 in this one, unless they pull the starters.

Everybody needs to remeber that there is a Downey on offense and one very capable one on defense. Sealy does have more weapons that are being loaded from week to week. Good luck Tigers "Heads down and roll on"

1st of all, I am not a little fella,
2nd - maybe you should pay attention before you ask the question - think about it - WHY would I post a poll about a game already played????
3rd - not my fault your team isn't in the playoffs.......

Anyone can be rude online dude, but can you be that way if we met in person?

take your talk to another thread - this is about Cuero and Sealy -

This should be a very competitive match up. Both teams have speed and run power offenses. It will be close and come down to the team with fewer turnovers and penalties wins. I'll say Cuero by a little but I'll not be surprised if Sealy upsets.

Sealy has enough speed to play with anybody. The question will be which Sealy team shows up. Will it be the team that beat Bellville and destroyed Needville in the first half, or the team that played against LaGrange and the second half against Needville.\

If Sealy plays well, the game could be very close. I think Cuero might be too much for the Tigers, who haven't shown a consistency for four quarters. Cuero by 14.

No don't know the actual numbers but the last 3 or so times we have meet Cuero has won. Back when Sealy won all that games and championships they beat up on us. But last time Cuero played Sealy was 4 years ago in 04 and we won.

And I say Cuero by 15 (we get a two point conver.)

11-15-2008, 01:42 AM

Oh and rumor has it.

1. El Campo
2. Round Rock

Thats what I heard. I hope its RR becuase that stadium is AMAZING... Remember playing in it in 04 and easily the best field/stadium to play at.

11-15-2008, 01:49 AM

Game is in El Campo on Friday @ 7:30pm.

I agree with OldBison. If Sealy plays a complete game this one could get very interesting.

Mitchell can't get away from them turkeys ( :p ).....gotta root for my boy & his boys.

Good Luck Sealy....prepare & execute!

Would hate to say who of these two will be favored to win.
Both have so much history.
Both have great team speed,
Both can run and pass.
Both have a great staff.
This game will come down to turnovers.

One thing we can count on is two very even teams.

Who wants it the most?

dachosenone

11-15-2008, 02:36 AM

Sealy does have a good coaching staff. This probably will be it for the Tigers if their inconsistent as shown earlier in the year. They were very optimistic against Bellville so if they capatilize again it will be an upset.

D25 TOUGH!

No secret on how this game will be won.

It will be won in the trenches. Both teams best defense will be their offense. Cuero can throw the ball better but they will benefit more by grinding it out on the ground. By running the football they can control the clock and the momentum.

You can bet the Sealy team that beat Bellville and Needville will show up. This is a quit rivalry (been awhile since these teams have played). Sealy like everyone will play their best game of the year against Cuero. I still like the Gobblers in this one but they better come ready to play and be ready to play lights out on defense. I think the overall record between Sealy and Cuero is 5 to 4 with the advantage to Sealy but Cuero has beaten them 4 straight times (i think, someone will post the real stats)

I would bet the stadium will be packed and their will be a lot of hard hitting in this game. Should be a great game - Go get em Gobblers!!!

As far as I can find out, Cuero has never beaten Sealy in the playoffs, but like someone said, that was back in the day. If Sealy cuts down on the penalties/turnovers and their receivers hang on to the ball, they have a chance. Cuero runs up big numbers in the regular season every year, but some years they don't have much quality competition so it's hard to tell how good they really are. Nobody runs inside on Sealy's defense, but they are vulnerable to draw plays and if you can get to the outside quickly their LBs sometimes get tied up inside. Sealy's play selection was more wide open in the first half against Needville, but in the second they reverted to the same old Downey right, Downey right, repeat as needed. Krenek has been throwing the ball well but has been victimized by drops lately. Coach Mitchell and his staff know Cuero from their time in Sinton so I expect this to be a good game. If Cuero gets rolling early it could get ugly, though.

They are kids (16-18) yrs old and you never know what's going through their mind. We get so caught up in the pre-game hype and forget its only a game.

I love it! On any given night the favorite can go down. Emotion is the key in HS Football.

I bet this thread has 200+ posts on it by Friday. Their will be way more hype on this board about this game then either team makes it out to be. Both teams know whats at stake, both want to win to keep their title hope alive. Neither team cares about the history or what has happened earlier in the year.

Both teams know that they will see each others best effort, It comes down to execution. Every week you have to keep playing at a higher level, and the deeper you go into the playoffs the more the "little things" matter. Special Teams, Field position, clock management, turnovers, penalties, and gameplanning are all essentials to winning in the playoffs. The team that does these the best wins the game.

Cuero should win this one, they have overall more team speed and more weapons on offense. The defense will have to play lights out. I will go with Cuero by a couple of TD's.

If Cuero gets rolling early it could get ugly, though.

Sealy knocked Cuero out of the playoffs a few time in the late 90's, but I think the Coach Reeve era gobblers are 4-1 or 5-0? against them. As far as Cuero's big numbers goes, that's every year. And most years we advance thru the playoffs. I didn't know that sealy's coach used to be at Sinton. So I guess he'll remember the thumping he got in the playoffs at the dome and at victoria memorial w/ the pirates.
If Sealy has speed to hang w/cuero, the game will be close, but I think Cuero's power running can still control and win the game.

Anyway, it's gonna be a good game, hope it lives up to the hype that will come this week

idk what the big deal about this game is
cuero should have 2nd stringers starting the 3rd quarter with a comfortable 5 TD lead

thepicker

11-15-2008, 12:32 PM

Seriously guys, what competition has cuero had all year? Got tested once by LaVernia and well that = only loss. Sealy on the other hand comes out of the most competitive district in class 3A. Hands down. With all three of there teams winning by 21 or more in the first week. Cuero wont be able to contain Downey, and that QB they have has the potential toss a TD at any time. He only has 3 interceptions all year. As for the defensive battle, if cuero's strength is to run, ha ha, good luck. The tigers have a stone cold running defense and their secondary came up with 2 picks last week along with shutting down the outside. They have been tested much more than the Gobblers, and as far as I'm concerned, this test isnt the hardest theve seen. For the results, I see sealy winning this one 35-21.

JT44

11-15-2008, 12:36 PM

look at cuero's predistrict schedule, and their district has been called "weak" since well, FOREVER.

the loss against LV can be chalked up to the hard game they played the week before against BC and then having a let down b/c they were back to playing another 3A team. The same thing happened to them in '06 against LV after playing LH tough.

Bay city's run defense was pretty stout, and Cuero came out with the win.

You are only partially correct, Cuero had a very tough pre-district schedule. They don't have a choice who they play in district so yes they ran over teams. I will agree with you because at the beginning of the year I thought Sealy and Cuero would be the favorites out of Region IV. I am not concerned with which Sealy team will show up, we all know Sealy will bring their A game, get real everyone plays their best against Cuero. You are correct in that Sealy has had close and tough games down the stretch. And yes they have good athletes, I do think this will be a good game. Momentum will be a huge factor. Neither team is intimidated, both think they can win, it will come down to pure execution.

I will say that Reeves will need to put a good game-plan together and do not get conservative. Got to play to win instead of playing not to lose. Cuero has more talent and more team speed, but that doesn't win you games and everyone knows that, its the playoffs, the little things is what makes the difference. The one advantage that Sealy has on Cuero is they have had to play 4 quarters. Cuero's conditioning may be their only question mark.

Of course he only ran about 1 1/2 quarters, but he was IMPRESSIVE. He has plenty of speed and runs with a low center of gravity. He also shakes off tacklers with ease. The stat guy for the Cuero radio broadcast team said that he only had one carry that resulted in negative yardage. This is all amazing for a freshman.

Don't worry, if Jackson doesn't play, theres is still a stable of 4 guys that will divide up the carries.
Won't be as explosive as Jackson, but have some breakaway capability
2 RB variety and 2 FB's that get a few touches each game.

Sealy is getting better, but they are still a far cry from what they were in the 1990's. I appears as though Cuero continues to be much like they have been in the past. Sealy will have to be at its very best to win and will no doubt go in as a big underdog. However, bigger upsets have happened.

This from a La Vernia Fan from another site who watched Cuero play........

Cuero played a great game. Steven Dorman threw for 300 yards and 3 td's with a 25mph wind and under pressure all night. Incredible for a soph. Trent Jackson was great all night. Freshman running back is good! But I think I would be good running behind that offensive line. Why did the Cuero coach leave his starters in the whole game except for the very end of the game. The game was clearly out of reach and he still had his #1's in the game not to smart to do in the play offs is get somebody hurt. Go Bears! Beat Goliad! See yall at the game tonight! We will be in Peanut Land tonight. Goliad has a good reciever in Franklin. So a challenge for the Bears! Yes we now take each opponent serious! We have learned our lesson!

To me, seeing the play, it looked like an upper thigh bruise, or he got hit in his stuff.
But when they laid him on the ground we kind of figured it was a leg/groin area.
He was walking the sidelines the second half, he probably won't play.

Boy, oh boy, this is the game I have been wanting to see. Cuero is big time this year and Sealy is trying to show they can be but the inconsistency has killed us. This will be a hell of a battle with both teams fighting like there is no tomorrow. I honestly think if Sealy can keep it close they will pull it out. I really hope Jackson plays because I have been wanting to see the wonder kid all year.

yah, but for all we know Pargman was on his way to a steller season as well with 90 yards in the first half of the first game, then he was injured... but now he's back...

so it's for sure, Jackson is out?

Have you seen other teams numbers? Nunn is something special and we still won allowing him that many yards. This game will not be a blowout. Mitchell will have Sealy well prepared for anything Cuero throws at them.

Look at the Navasota game.

Sealy stacked the box trying to stop Pratt, which they did..... but got BURNED by Stokes, Lamascus, and Jackson ALL NIGHT.

Same will happen here, trying to stop the run, you get burned.

OR try to stop the pass, and get ate up on the ground all night.

Either way, Cuero has PLENTY of O, and enough speed on D to contain Downey, unlike Needville.

I'll take Cuero 35-17.

I will most likely be attending this game.

After watching the Sealy/Needville game last week. Sealy is nothing special. They have speed, and that's about it. Unfortunately for Needville that's all they needed to win that game. I suspect that a team w/ similar speed could render them somewhat one dimensional....and I believe that's what Cuero will be able to do. Against Needville they ran the ball to the outside and usually made the corner due to Needville's lack of speed. When Needville adjusted somewhat...they would just send a WR down the field and lob one up and have him outrun the Needville defender to the ball....and that was pretty much their offense in a nutshell.....neither of which will work against a Cuero team that WILL have the speed to match up.

Did you stop to think, that is because it is all we need to do to win, and not because that is all we have. Trust me, this will be no blowout. The boys will show up and show you something "special". This reminds me of the talk up to the Bellville game, no respect and no one really giving us a chance. As far as the Navasota game, it has been stated many times, we are a different team since that game, wait and see. I can not wait for this game, as I believe it determines the RIV champion. This one is going to be a dog fight. I am really disappointed about not seeing Jackson but I am happy for the senior as I hear he is no push over either. We haven't seen the potential of either of these two teams yet and I believe Friday it will all be left on the field.

I can't speak for the 2009 Sprint Relay team, but he didn't run it on the 2008 team. We did lose Stefon to graduation so that spot is open so who knows....... He's (Cole) a hard runner I know that. I recall him running the 200 maybe? old Green - am I right?

He is very fast but he probably will not run anchor. Last years anchor, Stephon Hargrove, was a senior and is now running for Texas State.

Cole Pargmann is a sprinter and is in the low 11's high 10's in the 100 meters. The other members of our sprint relay and 800 relay are on the team, however. Well almost. Brent Johnson is a senior running back that gets some carries. Isaiah Glover is a senior wide receiver that will get 5-7 catches a game. Monte Avery-Green was a defensive back (sophomore) but he broke both bones in his lower leg this week. The dude walked off the field on his own with a broken leg. That's stones.

As for Pargmann, he would just as soon run over you as run past you but he can do both.

Tyler Arndt's passing has been very, very limited in the last 6 games. Every couple of plays we were scoring on running plays. It kind of sucks. We have one of the best quarterbacks in 3A football and we cannot use him and he is getting rusty. Look for him to warm up in the first quarter and roll through the game.

In reference to the Navasota game vs Sealy, don't make any judgements on Sealy's team based on that game. Sealy was playing a game without their star and after a week of heavy emotional strain over the internal issues on the team. They were not at all focused and it showed on the field with alot of missed assignments and plays where they just plain lost concentration.

Sealy is a completely different team now, much better focused and not making the untimely errors. They have good speed and are verry scrappy. I do believe that Cuero would win on overall speed across the board, but who cares unless someone breakes away.

The difference in this game will come down to mistakes. Sealy cannot afford even one turnover and must not give up the BIG play. Cuero must force Sealy to play alot of 2nd and third and long.

I think the tradition of both programs and the history of the matchup will make this a battle of the titans type game. True in your face football. I think Cuero will win, but it will be very close. Perhaps a last minute field goal.

I hope it doesn't come down to a field goal, that is Cuero's weakest part of their game. Reeves has had bad luck with kickers in the playoffs, he has lost many of games due to not executing on field goals or not being able to rely on his kicker.

You are right about the turnovers and that is why the Gobblers defense will have to step up and play their best game yet, they MUST put Sealy into 3rd and longs and create turnovers, the Gobblers must control the momentum and play with a high level of intensity, if they let Sealy hang around late and Sealy catches a break then it could turn into a bad night.

I think Cuero will play their best game, I think they will use ALL their weapons and Arndt will get a lot of opportunities to throw the ball DOWN THE FIELD. I look for all the receivers to touch the ball and I expect Reeves to open up the playbook this week. We should see an explosive offense, no doubt Sealy will stop them a few times, but Cuero will score more times then not.

Sealy-good defense, quick to the ball, QB is scrambler and can get off accurate passes even when under pressure, and then you add Downey. If he ever gets 1/2 step on you, it's "See ya" @ the goal line. Sealy has overcome their early season distractions and they are hitting on all cylinders.

I believe in the speed so I'm going with D25 and Sealy.

See thats the thing, you hear about the great runners cuero is going to bring. Sealy is stacked in the backfield themselves. Downey has the ability to break one even when there is no hole. His backups in Cooper, who is a straight nose hard runner, and king, who also shows his speed at the reciever position, all make up for an outstanding backfield. As for the recieving core, when you have one reciever at 6'5(miller) and another at 6'3(king) both with athletic abilities, especially king. I expect sealy to come out of the gates firing in the passing department. And when the balls not in the air, it is just as dangerous in the arms of downey. Now with Jackson out for cuero, I believe sealy has taken the advantage in this one. May still be viewed upon as an underdog, but they play better when the cards are not in their favor. I see sealy taking this on 28-14. I see all but bellville representing D 25 next week. The only reason that i dont see bellville moving on is because of the loss of nunn, otherwise they are favorites in that one too.

I don't think this one gets ugly either way. This is going to be a hard hitting, in your face, old school football game between to schools rich in tradition. The crowd should be great and I am ready for a good game. I believe whoever gets the first turnover may be the team that comes out on top in the end. Both coaches will have their team ready and well prepared and I expect to see a lot of different play calls from both sides. Friday can not come fast enough.

I don't think anyone believes they will. Who cares what happened with Needville. Sealy did what they had to do to get the win over Needville and now they move on. Sealy may not be faster than Cuero but I guarentee they are just as fast as them. This game is going to be won in the trenches and the team that is the most mentally ready. Execution will be key for both teams and limited mistakes will be the ultimate factor. I look forward to an atmosphere that can't be matched Friday night in El Campo. This game embodies 3a playoff football: history, passionate fan base, and two teams ready to knock each other out on the field.

Mitchell knows all about Cuero and this is not a knock on the kids we've had in Sinton when Mitchell was here, but he has more speed to work with in Sealy so it will be very interesting. If there is one thing Mitchell knows...it's defense! GO TIGERS!

Honsetly Krenek hasn't made many mistakes all year. He threw 3 picks with two of those coming against La Grange. He is the glue that holds are offense together. He has a hell of the arm, and usually throws rolling to his off hand (don't know why Mitchell does this). He plays his heart out and you can always catch him looking for a linebacker or DB to block on sweeps. I do agree with you though, if we have any mistakes it could be ball game.

Our D is going to get it done but will have to watch out for the draw and the single coverage long routes. I know Mitchell will have both of these remedied and have the boys pumped. Its time for Tiger Ball.

You are right, trench play will play a huge roll...and Sealy's lines were pretty good sized and quick when compared to Needville. All I'm saying is those advantages that Sealy had last week will be non existent against Cuero.

Not taking anything personal, but our line doesn't go that big. Actually they are kinda small up front except for one or two. The few times Needville got into the backfield, it was on a missed assignment by a few kids who haven't played much. Sealy's line has been impressive all year and if they could stand up to Bellville and even Navasota for the most part (didn't do bad considering Downey didn't play and he usually gets to the hole quicker than his backup), I believe they will be fine against Cuero. Watch out for Sutherland and Einkauf, those two have been playing bigger than their size all year and both will come up huge against Cuero. I am ready for some early Thanksgiving turkey. :D

We've been beat by teams with lesser speed before... but we'll see what happens...

as far as Jackson being out, that sucks... the kid has really come on, rushing for over 1300 yards with only 5-6 starts... but we'll be fine... we have the regular back-ups plus pargman back... Pargman rushed for 90 yards the first half of the first game before breaking his foot, thought he'd be the best RB on the team honestly...

Here comes the passing game though... we gotta light it up... haven't had time to work on it as much but I think we'll get it going, just gotta make smart passes, don't want to start off early with a pick or a string of incompletions, not a good tone to have set... I know Mitchell is familiar with the passing game Cuero ran in '03 and '04, but Arndt is a different style-QB and we have two Jeremy Powells instead of one, and though JT44 is probably the best tight-end we've ever had and unfortuantly isn't playing his 6th high school season, we can still use that option to the TE...

Defensively I think we'll be fine... we just have to watch the pass, because I feel though we may not stop Sealy's running, we will make them pass in what would normally be a running situation, so maybe they'll try to catch us off-guard there... I know Sealy has a great running game and it will more than keep our hands full... we've done very well against great running teams this year... a great example would be Goliad's running game... they racked it up on everyone this year (including La Vernia this week), but Cuero held 'em to -35 net... yup, the '-' is suposed to be there...

Can't wait, this is going to be the ultimate playoff atmosphere... the past 16 seasons these two teams have combined for over 60 playoff wins... does it get any better than that?

La Grange passed for 366 on Sealy, surely D1 prospect Ardnt can.

Jeremy Powell? or are you referring to Jeremy Ross (WR). If my memory serves me right Powell only showed up to actually play two games his senior yr. IF your referring to Ross, then your right, Cuero has about 5 receivers that are capable of making big time catches, Armstrong and Boothe as well as Glover, Johnson and probably the most impressive is Harryman. He and Boothe will make some unbelievable catches, they have saved Arndt multiple times this year. I hope the coaches work on check downs with Arndt this week in practice, He has not had many games where he has had a chance to really throw the football alot, I would like to see him go through his progressions and find the opne guy, last week he missed an easy one but you can't really fault him, we have not thrown the football very much. It's a lot easier to see it in the stands when their is no pressure. I would like to see Cuero use a no huddle and go with a sense of urgency, in the Bay City game they tended to move the ball better when they got in a 2 min offense and would get the defense on their heels and not allow them to regroup. I thought the Bay City game this year showed us how the offense is able to turn it on so quickly, I have a feeling this game will be similar. The worst thing is Cuero has not had a close game in more the 7 weeks, lets hope that won't be an issue.

People think Cuero relied soley on Trent, he was just a plus this year. They have perfectly capable RB's and a WR core that is the best i've seen in cuero as a whole. There's no Tre Gray in the group, but the make their catches and run their routes. Against Bc they really came through, they have to play that way if Sealy is able to stop the run.

Sealy's line has been impressive all year and if they could stand up to Bellville and even Navasota for the most part (didn't do bad considering Downey didn't play and he usually gets to the hole quicker than his backup), I believe they will be fine against Cuero. Watch out for Sutherland and Einkauf, those two have been playing bigger than their size all year and both will come up huge against Cuero. I am ready for some early Thanksgiving turkey. :D Just because they stood up to Bellville's and Navasota's lines, what gives you the impression that our line isn't better? We have some big boys that are athletic and I foresee your QB running for his life. The game should be close unless Arndt catches fire and his wide receivers catch the ball. There were a few easy catches dropped last week. I GUARANTEE you he has the best arm in 3A football.

Maybe because those are the two of the best d lines in the state. Instead of trying to be a ****, take the compliment of me comparing them with those two great teams. I promise you Krenek will not be running for his life, and the Tiger pass defense will be up to the challenge of Arndt "catching fire". As far as the best arm in the state I will throw Krenek into that arguement. Kid has thrown 45 yard passes on the role out to his off hand all year. Your wide outs better be ready for the big hit across the middle coming from either Jamison or Hamner if there is to much passing going on. This is giong to be a great game between great fan bases, I can not wait.

Dear Mr. STAggie

I love your confidence and I always love a little trash talk, but be a little humble, don't go throwing every player from Sealy in the top players from the state. And don't tell me Sealy has the best D line and the best core of WR andRB and etc.... If that was so then they would be 10-0. We all know your team is talented and so is Cuero's. From your posts it seems that Sealy will not make ANY excuses if they lose this one, in your opinion they are hands down the better team. I just want you to make sure you don't have any excuses come Friday night when Cuero takes home the Area Championship Trophy.

The post was never in regards to him being one of the best in the state, if you could read you would see it was the best arm. Trust me the kid can sling.

Not once have I thrown any of our players around as best in state, other than on the strength of our QB's arm. Once again I wish people would learn how to read what is actually posted and not come up with their own interpretation. As far as talent I think both of these teams have amazing talent and it will be a great game, which if you read my posts I have said numerous times. As far as the best D line, I have said nothing about our D line or our RB or much about the WR core. I called out a few players who have been playing great all year but I don't see how that would be me calling them the best in the state. I do have nothing but confidence in this team and wish people would learn to see that, and not take it as trash talk. Up until this page, there was nothing but good talk about a good game on Friday, now it seems people just want to talk crap.

it'll for sure be packed... 8,000 sounds about right... we played there my junior year.... beat sweeny in OT... nice field though...

Who wouldn't wanna come to this game? It's got everything in it...

I just hope Cuero wins... my two cousins went to school in Sealy during the mid 90s to 2000... Thanksgiving and Christmas were always weird for us... we didn't wanna look at 'em...

After we were knocked out of the playoffs in '99, I got a chance to go to three of Sealy's playoff games... Two of the ones in Victoria and the big one where Commerce finally got 'em... I really enjoyed the Sealy fans, the Back N' Black and the way those boys played football...

but Mills has been gone a looooong time, and that won't be Mickey Finley pacing the sidelines in green and white thinking about which side he'll run the option to next...

let's make it 1-3 Gobblers!!!

The person who leads the Sealy Tigers out on the field before every game is Raymond. And it has gotten to be quite a legend. You see, Raymond is one of the mentally or physically challenged youngsters that T.J. Mills kind of took under his wings when he was coach and AD at Sealy. Raymond is mentally challenged. He can talk, but is very hard to understand. I wouldn’t predict what his IQ might be, but it isn’t very high. Mills always made sure such kids had a place in the stands after it became too risky for them to be on the sidelines. And for some reason Raymond stayed on. He led the Tigers out during their great run and latched on again when Coach Mitchell took over at Sealy. If you watch Raymond during the games, he will get out his little pad and pencil and jot something down and bring it to one of the coaches as though he has the answer to what is going wrong. Raymond believes he is part of the SHS coaching staff and football season is his special time to shine. You may not see Raymond all year, but on the first day of two-a-day practices he shows up and is at every practice. And you can look for him Friday night at El Campo.

Great story, Cuero used to have a kid do kind of the same thing, his name was Marty he was our water boy and was at every practice and every game, but since he has graduated he just sits in the stands now, that is cool that Raymond and still runs them out on the field and even cooler that coach Mitchel lets him still be a part of the team.

And about the excuses, if Sealy does beat Cuero I will have a few of my own.(if its because of coaching) I expect our kids to be prepared and I feel that they are the better team going in (just like most of the Sealy people feel about their team) If Sealy wins because we were outmatched then I'll give them all the credit in the world, but I expect Coach Reeve to have a great game-plan and I expect the players to execute. I would like to see Cuero play with intensity for 48 minutes. I have a feeling this is going to be a chess match, which team can catch the other off guard and get some big plays. Momentum will be huge and I hope Cuero plays with a high intensity level all night. I am very positive that Cuero will come out with the win the only question mark we have is that we have not been in a close game or a real physical battle since LaVernia and Bay City. In close games it's those little things that win the games (receivers have to hang on to the ball and know when to get down or get out of bounds, RB have to hit the holes and take whats their, kickoff teams play a big role in momentum shifts and field position, and big plays on defense can turn a game around) the team who does these things the best will win this game. You can throw the records out the window, and don't say the team who wants it more will win, both want to win. They just have to execute!!!

Was reading the Sealy paper's write-up for the game... here's the driving directions from the bottom of that page:

Getting There:

Take Highway 36 south to FM 3013, right onto FM 102, left onto FM 1950, left onto TX-71, slight right onto Avenue C, right onto W. Norris St. The stadium is located at the high school, 600 W. Norris St. For an alternate route, take I-10 to Columbus, TX-71S to El Campo, at the first light (in El Campo) take a right, follow loop around to Norris St., take a left, stadium is about one mile on the left.

In the spirit of good sportsmanship, Gobbla2001 offers what he feels are better directions:

Go to Eagle Lake... Take a right at the stop... stop at the Buckees further down on the left because they have cool sliding-doors and nice bathrooms... Go to Altair, wish the Raiders good luck... at Altair take a left on Hwy 71, do not go mudding through cornfields... go about 30 miles... when you get into El Campo keep going until you see a "Ricebird Stadium" sign on your right, follow that sign... If stopped by an El Campo police officer, do not cuss around the officer or you will get arrested for DOC/Language and if you're a passenger with a buzz, add a PI (that's a $531.00 fine not including bail... don't ask me how I know)... If you want Jack n' the Box before and/or after the game, keep going straight until you get up to Hwy 59, there's one on the left inside of a gas station (drive-thru available most times)... and if you go there, hold your breath going by the cemetery on your left to show respect and/or to practice your superstitions

Be safe folks... and don't go getting drunk at Greek Brothers after the game...

Excuses from Sealy? I don't remember very many excuses from them when they lost to Navasota. Yeah, a few people said that Downey would have made a difference, but nobody said that they would have won with Downey. Even during that trying time, Sealy posters talked about the other talent on the team and there was little "excuse " making.

The excuses I have seen came from teams Sealy played, like Columbus and Bellville. Guys, Sealy has posted here on this thread that this will be a battle, no if's and's or but's.

Good luck Tigers. Maybe we can meet again with both teams at full force. I would look forward to playing you guys again, and I bet it would be a great game.

What excuses have I thrown out other than against Navasota the conservative play calling killed us in the second half and against La Grange that we played flat. Get off your damn high horse, not once have I said we will win state, but I believe in the kids and think if they play up to their potential they can beat anyone. Go grab another beer because you obviously live in a sad little world and alcohol is the only solution to your problems. Don't presume you know me and don't put words in my mouth.

Great story, Cuero used to have a kid do kind of the same thing, his name was Marty he was our water boy and was at every practice and every game, but since he has graduated he just sits in the stands now, that is cool that Raymond and still runs them out on the field and even cooler that coach Mitchel lets him still be a part of the team.

And about the excuses, if Sealy does beat Cuero I will have a few of my own.(if its because of coaching) I expect our kids to be prepared and I feel that they are the better team going in (just like most of the Sealy people feel about their team) If Sealy wins because we were outmatched then I'll give them all the credit in the world, but I expect Coach Reeve to have a great game-plan and I expect the players to execute. I would like to see Cuero play with intensity for 48 minutes. I have a feeling this is going to be a chess match, which team can catch the other off guard and get some big plays. Momentum will be huge and I hope Cuero plays with a high intensity level all night. I am very positive that Cuero will come out with the win the only question mark we have is that we have not been in a close game or a real physical battle since LaVernia and Bay City. In close games it's those little things that win the games (receivers have to hang on to the ball and know when to get down or get out of bounds, RB have to hit the holes and take whats their, kickoff teams play a big role in momentum shifts and field position, and big plays on defense can turn a game around) the team who does these things the best will win this game.

Totally agree! Everyone needs to get fired up and blow them off the ball, first play!!! I would love to see a student section just get crazy when Cuero is on Defense. I can't wait for Friday afternoon, it can't get here any faster.

I know what you mean. I just don't want a blowout at half by either team, causing the other teams fans to go to their car and drown their sorrows. I know at the Navasota game we definetly contemplated going to the gas station down the street at half for this reason.

That's good for Trent. I hope they don't rush him. We will be alright. Cole is a hard runner and can get the job done. If Trent is 90% - 100%, put him in, he is something else. We have plenty of talent on this team for Reeve to get the job done!!!

11-19-2008, 07:28 PM

I say even if he is dressed out and ready to play, don't. ONLY if you really really need him then use him. I don't see that happening. He is young and he needs to be healthy. I think the RBs Cuero have without Jackson will get the job done, just as they did in the game last week when he went down.

Let's hope those rumors are true cause I really want to see Jackson play.

OldBison75

11-20-2008, 09:09 AM

Sealy defense should be pretty good against the run in this game because of their speed and tackling ability. However, if Jackson can play, it gives Cuero the opportunity to rotate more quality backs with different running styles and more speed. I hope that jackson is able to play, at least some, but I would hate to see him get re-injured. The kid has a great future and risking more permanent injury would be a devastating blow.

This will be a batle, but I believe that Cuero wins if they don't make too many turnovers and give Sealy short field scoring opportunities.

I just hope he gets the opportunity to run some more this year. Lot's of good things need to happen for that to occur (Trent gets healthy and we continue to win) I don't know the exact amount of yardage but he's less than 100 yards from breaking Robert Strait's freshman year rushing (I think, sure if I am wrong someone will "offer" a correction) ;)
