I think Navasota can win, but I honestly don't think they will if they play like they did against Silsbee. La Vega is a tough team, and Navasota is going have to play them tough. I also could see this game getting into a shootout as well...We'll see...

Navasota 42 La Vega 38

100% Agree. La Vega scares the hell out of me!! Navasota was coming of a bye week against Silsbee and it showed at times. We will get cushed by the Pirates if we come out flat. Hopefully my boys can proove me wrong in this one and play up to their ability.

Go Snakes!

Hopefully, Navasota's defense will step it up against a team that runs well. I agree with the shootout prediction. I think the Rattlers can play well, as they haven't been turning the ball over much and are limiting penalties, enough to beat La Vega. I don't entirely agree with the stuff going on in La Vega lately, but you have to beat the team you line up against, no matter who is in the lineup. Rattlers 48, Pirates 42.

That would be Round Rock ISD Stadium, aka "the Palace at Parmer." It is on west Parmer Lane, about 8-10 miles from where I lived for a few years when I was a kid.

Whoever is in the best shape wins this one. It's gonna be one of those good ol' fashioned street fights that end up in the ditch because neither side will give up. The trainers need to fill up all the coolers with gatorade, bring lots of ankle tape and handout every pad known to the football world.

i've been following the rattlers to every game since last year and i know exactly what they are capable of doing, but yes la vega is a very good football team and capable of putting alot of points on the board also. if my rattlers come out and play and complete game on both sides of the ball they should prevale. lets go rattlers this is ya'lls season to go all the way and win the entire thing.

Navasota 45
La Vega 38


LOVE THEM RATTLERS!!!!

After broadcasting the La Vega game today my prediction is


The losing team will score at least 40 points


La Vega offense WOW

Run defense not so much as Tucker was a STUD for CH and he was all they had

MODOC MODOC MODOC MODOC!!!!!!!!!! Just two more to go for a shot to play for a state title!! I saw enough out of them earlier this year against Crockett to think they could win a state title without Parr out there. With him back, that's a whole other dimension they now bring to the table with their running game. Hope they find a way to pull this one out against a pretty darn good team.

Yes, that will biggest part. LV played really well without Parr meaning they must have one heck of a defense and/or some other great running back. According to the Waco Tribune, I see that Chapel Hill only threw the ball 3 times. Is that correct? Navasota will throw 10x's that many along with running Pratt and Jones. This game should be fun.

I know what Grant thought about MODOC. We talked about it when we were at the game. My contention was it was MODOC's homecoming game when they played Crockett. Those kids couldn't have been less interested in the game. I've seen so many teams play like that for homecoming over the years. MODOC is good enough defensively with or without Parr to be a state championship contender due to their defense.

TODAY's game I was not overly impressed with their D..yes it was fast, but Tucker from CH tore them up and he was the only real threat for CH

now I can see how their D would be good agianst a spread team because of the speed of the MODOC D, but agianst a power run team at least today, they struggled

Knowing MODOC's DC from his days in Gatesville I'd be willing to bet he didn't do a whole lot other than run a pretty simple defense in what was a completely one-sided blowout yesterday. I'm sure he was content to let that kid from CH get his yards, but it doesn't matter if the majority of it is coming between the 20's. There's no reason to show your next opponent a whole heckuva lot about your scheme if you don't have to. When they played Crockett he didn't show much either, but again he really didn't have to do much else besides run their base defense that night.

I'm fairly certain Coach Hyde is working on a few new wrinkles for what Navasota (just as I'm certain that Navasota's DC is doing the same thing in adding some stuff that will try and take away Parr's effectiveness) will be bringing to the table. Whether they'll stop them or not I don't know, but they'll at least be well prepared for Navasota's ridiculously good offense.

That's not always the case with homecoming games, though. Wylie's 2008 Homecoming Game was a dandy.....I'm sure you remember it, right?;)

All kidding aside, LaVega is a force and though I have not had a chance to see the Rattlers in person, I have no doubt that this will be a heck of game on both sides. Good luck to all!:)

I will have to go with LaVega. Chad Ward is very good RB. With Chris Parr and Ward in same backfield, they have just been elevated to another level. This is not the first time that LV has had a loaded backfield. It will come down to other "intangibles".

They had a loaded backfield last year and the only name back there was "Parr". If you remember, he teamed up with his brother Kourtney last year and they ran all over us (China Spring) in both games last year.

They will be tough!

I think both teams are top ten material. One beating the other will not tell us whether they are "for real." It is like Texas Tech losing to Oklahoma last night. I already know that Tech is "for real" because of what they have done up to this point. Catching Oklahoma in Norman without a good game plan does not mean they are overrated. Matchups, matchups, matchups.

What I mean by "for real" is who is going to come out on top and if the La Vega offense can put up the same type of numbers against the Navasota D.

Not meaning to take anything away from either team by the comment, sorry if it was taken in that context.

La Vega, Cuero, Abilene Wylie and China Spring might all have something to say about that. Including Navasota, I think they are all capable of beating each other on any given night. I just hope Navasota always comes ready to play whatever night that may be.

I know this is just a poll of one's opinion; however, I haven't seen La Vega play this season and I would love for some more thoughts about the game. Why do so many feel that the Rattlers will win? In Navasota's game against Cameron Yoe, the poll was much closer. I know alot has happened at La Vega with Parr coming back. Is this influencing the poll?

Navasota 42 La Vega 38 From what I've seen (read) on Navasota this year, and I've tried to follow them somewhat closely...it seems they tend to play "just out of reach" of their opponents. Not so much "play down to their level"...but more....play JUST hard enough to get the win. I think you're right....the Rattlers are gonna have to play petal to the metal...but I think they will be up to the challenge.

This one is going to be a dog fight to the end! Navasota is going to have to be on top of their game to win this one and the same vice versa for La Vega! Both teams have a offenese that can score from anywhere on the field and that has been proven all year from both. This is going to come down to which team can take care of the ball, not make mistakes, and execute what they do the best! I don't think it will be shootout as many are saying I think this one is real close all way to the end with the Rattlers win by a field goal in OT! An yes I said field goal and I know that sounds funny being that both teams score as many points, but I just special teams being the difference in the game of very talented ball clubs! Lets Go Rattlers!!

Navasota has a very explosive offense but their defense struggles against the pass. Their corners are very physical and can tackle. If La Vega can run between the tackles and throw the ball they will win. If not, Navasota will move on to the next round.

Bingo, you are absolutely right. Some times I wonder if the Rattlers' corners are watching the same game that we are watching. :confused:

Some people voting think Navasota will win because they believe they are the better team.

Others, the holier than thou crowd, are voting for Navasota because of Parr being back on the team and because of the Lorena game. In their neck of the woods, let's call it the land of milk and honey where everyday ends with a rainbow, Parr would've never, ever have been allowed back inside the city limits, much less the local high school team. In milk and honey country their coach has ethics, morals, a sense of God and Country and all that good stuff that would've kept him from letting Parr come back. MODOC's head coach, Willie Williams, has to be the great satan for allowing Parr to come back.

I voted for MODOC and would've done so even if they didn't have Parr back. I think it'll be close and it wouldn't shock me to see Navasota win, but I'm sticking with MODOC.

I was thinking the same thing but I didn't want to assume anything. I'm sure that alot of the votes for Navasota are because of the Parr situation and the Lorena game, although I do feel that Navasota will compete and possibly beat La Vega.

I haven't watched Navasota play a single down this year and i've only watched Le Vaga for one game. But having watched Ennis play 6 regular season games plus 2 playoff games I'd be concerned if we had the Modoc Pirates this week. The talent difference between 3A and 4A aint much; if any, and Navasota could possibly beat the stuffing out of any 4A playoff team for all I know. But the Le Vaga team I saw could make a serious run in any division in 4A.

Prediction. Le Vaga wins this one with ease they will go on to win the DI Championship. It will be so convincing that no one in DII will even question whether or not Le Vaga threw a game to get in DI, the DII Champ will be gratefull. Le Vaga would be a champion either way.

I've seen both teams play this year and to be honest I was not that impressed with Navasota. Yeah they had some good athletes and the Pratt kid is a beast, but defensively they were very suspect.

LaVega on the other hand had zero weaknesses. While Parr is an exceptional back, the difference makers on this team are the monsters they have up front on both sides of the ball. The o-line is freaking huge!!! Number 99 on defense is scary! His buddy 98 ain't nothing to look forward to.

I am not a homer at all, not from anywhere near either team. But after watching LaVega on film..... I think they may be the best 3A team I've seen in the last 10 years.

Great input. However, La Vega must have some weaknesses for them to be a 2 lost team. Yes, I know that they probably would have beaten Lorena if they would have played their starters. But, there is always , always room for improvement.

I do agree with you that Navasota's defense may be suspect, especially to the pass. After seeing the Rattlers shut down Caldwell in the second half, I saw first had what the defense is capable of doing. Now, the passing defense is suspect and will have to pick it up if they are to win on Friday. Im referencing Caldwell because the Hornets have always given Navasota trouble and the Hornets averaged almost 500 yards a game. Navasota held them to 0 points in the second half until the last 30 seconds of the ball game.

Maybe just a home away from homer!:D :D

La Vega does have some weaknesses. Their defense is far from perfect, as is Navasota's. They are a lot like Navasota in that on offense, they can get in a play calling/execution funk for periods of time before lighting it up again. I think these two teams are pretty evenly matched.

Le Vaga would be a champion either way. hey Jambo, Miss Cleo called.....but you can see the future too...so you probably already know what she wanted. :D :rolleyes:

Man, this is gonna be one good game. I dunno why, but I gotta feeling that LV is going to win in a very close game.

La Vega - 35
Navasota - 31

Good Luck to both teams!

The Navasota Rattlers have played this whole year with a single goal in mind. Face each week's opponent and win. They have showed signs of brilliance and had periods where they were kinda flat. The defense has had good games, good quarters, and some breakdowns during games. The offense has put up alot of points and seems able to score on anyone. Through the hurricane, when they could not even practice with comfort because of the whole town not having power to cook, see, or anything, they hung together and stayed prepared. In the first game back, they played well but not near to what they could have, but still won handily. The next week they played Sealy, at the time highly ranked, and were dominant.

After they bye week, the Rattlers came out kinda rusty against Silsbee. The pure ability of the offense was enough to control the game flow. The run defense was outstanding but there were some coverage breakdowns in the secondary. Alot of that can be attributed to the scrambling ability of the Silsbee QB. He was able to scramble for a long time, all over the field, giving his receivers alot of time to find openings. He also completed a few prayer passes that were up for grabs and his receivers outfought the Rattler secondary.

I guarantee you that there is no chance the LaVega pass game will have that kind of success. If the Rattler run defense plays with the focus they had against Sealy and Silsbee, they will be good enough to limit the damage from Parr and Ward.

I don't see the LaVega defense stopping the Rattler multiple attack. Too many weapons and too much diversity for any team to stop all weapons. If you stop Pratt, then Stokes makes you pay on the ground. If you stop the passing game and clamp on Jackson and Lamascus, then Harris and Pratt will eat you up. Remember, Pratt is a very good receiver and even though he hasn't been used much this year, he can hurt you in the passing game. Navasota has not come close to opening the whole playbook yet. And, I've seen alot of talk about the size of the LaVega lineman, well Navasota ain't small. They average well over 200 lbs per man and have a future Division 1 pick in Calhoun that is about 6'6" and 300 pounds. When he wants to exert himself, he dominates his side of the ball.

This will be a good game, both sides have the ability to win big games, but my pick is with the Rattlers. I think the state see the Rattlers put together a full game this week, when it counts. Navasota 35
LaVega 14.

I dunno why people think La Vega is just going to lay down for navasota.For some of these prediction is off the chain.I know their just opions , but please lay off the tater water.All due respect for Navasota and D-24, but navasota hasn't face a team yet like La Vega.So you can't compair who you played to who you're gettin ready to play. now the three big games in d-24 that navasota played ( rock,well,yoe). out of those three , you only laid wood to cameron.. every thing yall have la vega has already seen before , but what la vega has you haven't seen or touched.so get your popkorn ready , because dem WACO Boys is coming to town.

The may have not seen what LaVega has in the three games that you are talking about but LaVega has not seen what Navasota has either because no matter who they have played they have not seen complete team that is focused and won't be intimidated by LaVega! Yes they are big but Navasota ain't small either! But I will stick with my earlier prediction that this game comes down to special team in OT with the Rattlers winning by a field goal!

Blah, Blah, Blah. Games are all about matchups! We will see what happends on Friday. Sure China Spring's passing game may be "better" than the Rattlers'. Sure WO-S has a "better" running game. But, what do you get when you combine a running attack with a passing attack? NAVASOTA.

Big linemen doesn't necessarily = good linemen. Liberty Hill has won multiple championships and I can't remember their line being huge. I'll take a 230 pound lineman, with good technique over a huge lineman that just "gets in the way". Not saying that is what Waco LV has, just stating an opinion ;)

What did La Vega do?

LaVega must win it all or the coach looks like a dumb -$$ for throwing a game to get into a different bracket and not being able to win his region. The only way he will not catch crap is if he wins it all.

Navasota probably did not have their most dominating preformance last week by allowing 33 points, but I will say that was due to being off for 14 days and they should be ready to go in this one. The only thing is Navasota CAN NOT come out flat, it will be hard to come from behind on a LaVega team if they can establish their run game. Navasota needs to make LaVega get out of their usual 5 to 7 yard runs on 1st down and force them into 3rd and longs. Defense will win this one, both teams will punt way more then they are used to so that is why I say special teams is the deciding factor, either a punt return or a block punt will swing the momentum and carry the team who make the BIG play to victory.

Navastoa 27
La Vega 23

Well to answer someone's previous question about why people think Navasota will win......


I'll take Navasota in a fairly high scoring game because of the dynamic offense the rattlers run out onto the field.


I think LaVega will have their hands full with Pratt, and Stokes is going to light it up with Jackson/Lamascus combo.


D is good enough to stop LaVega enough times, or hold them to FG's.


I'll take the Rattlers by a score of 37-31.

Good luck Navasota!!! :) :clap:

I wonder how much longer uninformed people are going to perpetuate that "throwing the game" stuff. That particular game was 14-13 with 5 minutes to go in the game and coulld have been won by either team. La Vega did not care what division it went into but wanted to go in healthy. I have heard that "stuff" about being afraid of Gilmer, WS-O, etc. Gilmer beat CH 35-7 and La Vega beat them 56-8. Played W0-S last year and beat them. That story was started by "sour grapes" fans from team that did not handle their own business. If La Vega had lost their QB or other starter(s) in a game that meant nothing to them, now that would have been unfair to the team and community. Division I and II have pleenty of quality opponents and it makes no difference which division you are in, you better bring your "A" game or go home.

Not buying it. La Vega should have done enough to win the game and then pulled their starters. Period. I don’t blame the kids, the fans or the La Vega poster on here, but what the coach did was chickensh#%. Besides the starters probably wouldn’t have had to play more than 1 quarter.

And if La Vega does win the championship it will always be just a little marred by how they got into D1. Which really sucks for the kids.

Maybe I'm not on the same page as everyone else, but I don't understand this at all. Division I and Division II are not selected by wins and losses. Going big school (Division I) or small school (Division II) has to do with a school's enrollment. The largest school in the district (enrollment wise) that makes the playoffs will go Division I. The other two playoff teams will go Division II.


For instance, take district 21-3A. West Orange-Stark won the district title, Silsbee came in 2nd, and Hardin-Jefferson came in 3rd. Silsbee went Division I because they had the largest enrollment in the district. WOS and HJ went Division II.

With that being said, La Vega made the playoffs and went Division I due to their enrollment being larger than the other two schools to make the playoffs out of that district.

If they are able to win this week and the two weeks after that they're the state champions. They got into the bracket that would allow them to get a rematch with Chinaberry or Wylie if they make it that far.

If LaVega wins that game, Robinson is in and goes Div 1.

Since Lorena won, LaVega went Div 1 because Robinson was elminated.

People are saying that LaVega threw the game to go Div 1, rather than Robinson going Div 1.

I don't buy it.

The starters did play the first quarter and one of the wide receivers turned an ankle which just added to the reason the starters did not need to play. It always surprises me how people do not want to let the facts get in the way of a good story. Fact is, La Vega is good, did not care where they played, took care of their own business and never was a rematch with China Springs a factor in any decision. Another rumor that has no basis. They are 33-6 for the last 2 plus years and have one of the best, most caring, professional coaching staffs in the business. I am a central texas FB fan, know talent and know coaches. China Springs has one of the best programs and some of the best players in Mike Hicks and Ryan Boutwell and a very dedicated coaching staff, also. They are in the kid business for a reason. They care about them and their community.

I couldn’t agree with you more, the kids are the most important thing. But the coach should be ashamed of what he did. It was a bad lesson to teach the kids he cares about. I don’t know how the town of La Vega feels about what happened but if that would have happened in Liberty Hill there would have been consequences.

What has he got to be ashamed about? He played to win with his back-ups and got them valuable playing time. He took care of his team and community. Where is the shame in that? I do know that had he lost a player in a meaningless game, people would have been upset for playing starters when he didn't have to. How can a 14-13 game with 5 minutes to go be called "throwing a game"? The kids and coaches played to win. How hard is that to understand?

He made a decision to protect his key players no matter the outcome of the game. I think it may not be the "popular" strategy, but the "wise" one.


Like I said, if a key player gets hurt because they are trying to win a meaningless game... THEN the town is outraged.

I PROMISE you that he didn't pull his starters and find a way to MAKE the backups lose so that they could go Div 1. Sounds like crap.

He put some reserves ont he field to spare his starters and tried to win the game with what was ont he field. Plain and simple.

you're stepping up to play a good vega team , a team that has proven to be on this top dawg list in 3A. you're facing a team that is 7 -2 in the playoff over last 3 years.with their lost coming to Giddings(06) and china kats in (07).

vega has already proven to be one of the elite teams in 3a.don't get me wrong navasota is on the right track to get their. but just b/c you're on the right track , that doesn't mean you're on the right train. with 3 playoff victories since 02 , thats nothing to hang your hat on.

yes , you did peter roll cameron , great job and congrat on the D-24 title.but what will your team look like next year when all those D-1 players move on. will you reload or rebuild.

You realize that they've won just as many if not more games through the air this year than on the ground w/ Pratt. Navasota is a very balanced team on offense. They can run it w/ Pratt, or they can scortch you through the air. To say their average w/ out Pratt is just silly.

vega has already proven to be one of the elite teams in 3a.don't get me wrong navasota is on the right track to get their. but just b/c you're on the right track , that doesn't mean you're on the right train. with 3 playoff victories since 02 , thats nothing to hang your hat on.

yes , you did peter roll cameron , great job and congrat on the D-24 title.but what will your team look like next year when all those D-1 players move on. will you reload or rebuild. Neither was LH considered an "elite" before they won their title in 2006.....now they're working on their third...it's gotta start somewhere. Being an elitist is over-rated....ask Marie Antoinette.

Navasota May win.... Navasota Can win.... Both are correct.

But after watching both..... I truly believe that LaVega is the better team. Not saying they will win.... but better.

My Prediction
LaVega 35
Navasota 21

I bet he tears it up with Lamascus and Jackson. The kids CAN PLAY!


I got Navasota, no doubt.

I got Navasota, no doubt.

3 times on film..... Henderson, Palestine, and recently Rockdale.

Saw all of LaVega district (minus Lorena) then also coached against them in the first round of the play-offs.

I am not saying that Stokes is a Punk, not saying that Lamascus and Jackson can't play. Just think that through watching BOTH LaVega is the better team.

Sorry I got your nose all outta joint.... not my intention. Just disagree with you.

I don't have a dog in this fight, so I'm not mad at you! For that matter, you don't have a dog either unless Columbia and Navasota Consolidated. lol

And IHStangfan -- you ever think that the reason the passing game is so open is because everyone is concious of trying to stop the #5 recruit in the state, so they load the box leaving man coverage.

But, its just an opinion of an outsider.... please continue.

The Rattlers could win this game for sure, that's why we play the games. I just haven't watched a team with LV's talent in a long time. Does that mean there aint another team with more talent out there? No, not at all. But I don't judge a team on talent alone. I can could clearly see a sense of urgency with deliberance on the field along with the talent. All those combinations added together that make a champion are rare, and LeVaga has it. Navasota may have it as well.

I honestly think that none of the fans have forgotten that, so I'm going to believe them when they talk about the improvement. They've had a couple of close games, yet still found a way to win and remain undefeated. And, this is probably a pretty lame reason, but it's the truth - vtat2 is a heck of a nice guy.

Seen em both..... actually a whole lot more of LaVega than I wanted too... but that is another discussion.

LaVega, in my learned opinion, is the better team. Bigger, Stronger, Faster.... all-around better team.

I think if you take Pratt off of Navasota, then they are just an average team. Take Parr off of LaVega and you still have a powerhouse.... add Parr and watch out!

Not taking anything away from the Rattlers.... wish we had the athletes ya'll do, but LaVega is for real.

Oh yeah, and they are very disciplined... not many mistakes and they have class too. They don't let the trash get to them!

Scary Good is how I would describe them!


I hate to tell you but they have alot more weapons than just Pratt! Stokes is the man that drives that offense, not Pratt, he is a big part mind you, but the fact that Stokes is a duel threat that defense had better be ready. I have seen this team first hand. As far as the defense goes their linebacking core is one of the best in central Texas. Do not sleep on the Rattlers.

I'm not trying to get under your skin either coachc45.

I'm merely stating my thoughts on the team as you are. When I said "punk", I didn't mean an actual punk. I was pretty much saying he is no slouch.


Stokes didn't light it up in district play because he DIDN'T HAVE TO.

Pratt is going to get his, Stokes is going to get his, Jackson/Lamascus will get theirs, and in the end, the Rattlers will get their win.

I am excited to go. I hope me and Gramps can make it. We'll know for sure later.

Cameron91, you going to give me a spread or what? You're calling a blowout.

You goign to be there? We can settle this over some Nachos or something. :) :cool:

Navasota has a very balanced attack if you want to talk about stats:
Regular season:
214.9 yards per game rushing
6.3 yards per carry
29 TD's (one td per every 10 running plays)
213.6 yards per game passing
64.7 % pass completion ratio
12.3 yards per pass reception
19 TD's (one td per every 6 completitions)
1 interception per every 56 pass attempts.

Season average of 8.5 yards per offensive play.

Whether you try to stop the pass or the run, you give something to us. By the way, for all you folks bringing up the opposition stacking to box to stop Pratt---notice we averaged 214.9 yards per game rushing anyway.

It is called Chris Parr is back. He takes the team up another level. If Navasota was getting by and suddenly Pratt (who has not played all year) it ready to go full speed, it brings the whole team to a different level.

The Rattlers have enough offense to keep this game rolling. LaVega has enough offenseto score alot of points. The Rattler defense has had flashes of brilliance this year against the opposition. The LaVega defense has been solid against the run all year.

Both defenses have had some secondary lapses. Navasota has had some great games, and has had problems against pure passing teams like Henderson and Silsbee. LaVega has been more prone to give up yards to the strong passing teams.

LaVega is a good passing team if they establish a running game to open the defense up to the play action passes. Chris Parr gives them the speed to run the edges and make the defense look to stop the sweeps and quick pitches.

The Navasota defense has played it's best run defense against the edges since mid-district by putting Pratt and Lamascus in for run support.

If Navasota can keep the big play from biting them in the butt and keep Parr under 150 yards, they should have enough offense to win. The LaVega defense will control the middle and keep running hard in that area. If Stokes plays like he has all year, he will open the field for Pratt, Jackson, Lamascus, and others to make yards. Look for the Rattlers to have several big plays.

I think this game may come down to the team that plays the most solid at the linebacker position. These guys will decide who wins at what they want to do. I can't comment on the LaVega LB's except to say they have played pretty well. I can tell you that the Navasota Linebackers are the strength of the defense. The are quick, smart and tackle very well.

I think the Rattlers pull this one out in a hard fought game.

The Stadium, as stated before, is refered to as "The Palace on Parmer." It was Austin area's original big-time, 11,000-seat facility. Not a bad seat in the house.

If anyone has questions on how to get there (I live 8 minutes away from the Palace), please shoot me an email at chuck@mykmacsports.com.

Look forward to seeing you and broadcasting Friday night's Heavyweight matchup!

I drove by La Vega High School today around 9:30 and the football team was hard at work. I think they will be ready tomorrow.

I think I am going to try to catch that game tomorrow evening.

From the forecasts that I have seen, the rain should move in early in the morning and be out by noon bringing in a cold front.

The answer is, Yes...
You can meet up at either of the 2 end zones..you won't be ON the field but you'll be able to meet up on pavement (close end zone) and on walkways (far end zone)..

Plenty of opportunities to hold a mini M&G

OldBison75 and I are up for a meet and greet. Since Chuck says that we can meet up at either spot, I will just go ahead and say the end with the scoreboard at halftime sounds good to me. I'll start another thread so the word gets out on time.

I did not see a lot of La Vega fans on the board this week.

I think I will be there with my son to watch the game. I think it will be a great game!

Godd luck to all and travel safely!

Yeah, it seemed like mainly out-of-towners and Navasota people.

I'm looking forward to a great game tonight. Both teams have offenses that can put up alot of points and defense that can be really stingy at times and bend alot but don't break most of the time.

Look for this to be a game of big plays from both side of the ball. I don't see alot of long sustained drives by either team. If you like exciting football, from two teams with different offensive approaches, but two teams that can really move the ball, this is the game to be at. Should be exciting from start to finish.

Bring the Nitro pills if you have a weak heart. This may come down to one big play at the end of the game.

Probably El Campo and Brenham at Tulley Stadium.

I might go To Lufkin tonight to watch Arp and Kirbyville (Both undefeated).

Hey, Harris has La Vega as a 7 point favorite. I believe that this is the first time that the Rattlers have been the underdog.

Who wins and why?

La Vega 49 36.30%
Navasota 86 63.70%

Total: 135 votes 100%

figured this would be alot closer...can't wait to see this Rattler team tonight...:thinking:

Something that LaVega does that I have never seen anyone do before----- QB will be under center (not in shotgun) and will turn and pitch to the TB like just a toss sweep. But the TB will take it straight up between the tackles with the QB being the lead, and 9 times out of 10 the TB will cut it back. They must have run that play 15 times against us. I think the only time they ran it that it didn't pick up at least 5 or 6 yds. was the last play of the game when they went for 2 to tie the game and somehow we stopped it. Anyway, it is a strange looking play.

I'll be at the winner of this game Vs Cuero though.

No doubt, UNLESS there is a better game close, which I don't imagine there would be.

What about when Navasota wins? Where will they play Cuero? Then what's my spread?

i find it so funny that everyone is already talking about cuero vs navasota or le vega vs cuero what about la feria, how do ya'll know that cuero is going to win. i understand the records of both teams and that cuero is much better on paper but the lions are no push over team because they have made it this far in the playoffs and in order to get this far you must have a pretty good team.


GO RATTLERS, lets win tonight

Necks_Fan
11-28-2008, 04:04 PM
I think Cuero will win because Sealy is 3 TD's better than LaFeria, and they lost to Cuero 56-24.


LaFeria doesn't have a chance.
