What was the final score?

[gobbler grad]

26-13 Daingerfield

[BobcatBenny]

Well ... dang 0 and 3 to Daingerfield ... Celina has the Tiger flu!

That is the only way to explain it. :(

Or maybe ... the Bobats will quit droping the football? :doh:

However ... the good news is ... ol' Benny can tell what kind of team Celina has now ... and it is a good one! Old Rocket is gonna complain ... and complain ... and theorize and theorize, then Keith7 is gonna call the Bobcats cheaters ... well into December! :D

[charlesrixey]

i apologize-i had to leave my computer and i couldn't provide any more updates :(

Celina certainly had their chances

[c bobcats run]

I could only listen for the first half. It seemed that Celina seemed to be able to move the ball, and then it seemed to be a penalty fest and a fumble fest.

Can somebody give a complete analysis of the game? MN95?

are people really this dense that they have no clue that every year there are 2-3 2A's that can pretty much play with the 3As and do fine?

some of these 3As can play with most of the 4As in the same manner....surely some of these people are not so misinformed as to not know that...or maybe not

The first 5 games are all about getting better. If you guys were getting shut out or struggling with weak opponents then there would be cause for concern. Wins will matter soon though so I hope the Bobcats get those problems ironed out or a long year could be looming. :clap: :clap:

What do you Celinians think of Chris Jones, the WR going to Texas, from Daingerfield?

[trojan37]

I'm not saying Celina is the same team as last year, but I also remember them having 2 losses last year during the regular season, and look where they ended up at the end of the year. Don't count them out yet.

Celina will win the Reg 2. Nobody in Reg 2 D 2 that can beat them IMO

[marler1972]

Dfields middle linebacker was a stud.

[orange machine]

Celina pounded to ball on offense and had good succsess, but Fumbled 2 or 3 times and had way to many penalties. When the offense stops fumbling and getting penalties they are gonna be hard to stop. The defense is another issue all together at this point. I have never seen a Celina defense that has missed so many tackles. Against Ferris i thought that this defense would be one of jthe best in Celina ever, but since then the other team seems to be wearing grease on there uniforms because we cant tackle them. Not sure what the problem is, but Ford and company will figure it out.

[coachkiss]

Harris Ratings would have had Daingerfield as the #2 team in the 3A this week based on their power rating (just behind Gilmer).

Not an excuse, but saying they are pretty good. Also, Harris Ratings had Celina as a 15 pt. underdog.

He was not a factor. 0 catches. The QB and RB ran for 275 yrds. Real issue was only scoring 13 points on O.

[BILLYFRED0000]

Well two issues. The other was losing Cody early in the game.
Garrett is a good QB but it is like game planning for Michael vick and Troy Aikman. Two good QB's but completely different in what they do best. Tough break.

Hmmmm.... :thinking:

We are 2-0 against 3A opponents this season. We have beat a good team in Burnet (who will win their District) and destroyed La Vega (Region 3). What else ya got?

Still bringing up last year? LOL

Region 2 sucks. Very weak overall. Most agree with that.

Oh yeah? This from a guy who's team loses to a private school and then to a 2A back to back. LOL

When's the last time Celina had a losing record?

1-2

Rome didn't fall in a day.

[BobcatBenny]

I am not worried about the Bobcats at all.

They are playing hard. I see some issues ... but again we have the best coaching staff in the state. The Bobcats just need to do what they are coached to do.

When I see the Bobcats pull a Brownwood .... and the players are more interested in taking warm pocket candy from the Rocket ... then I will be worried ... and inform the authorities. :eek:

I do think you are right. We do have a great staff. If it can be turned around it will be. But ya got to call the boys out. Play smart. Smart is easy and easy is hard. If ya play smart (as in how the coaches tell ya to) ya find out it ain't as tough as you were makin it. Assumin you want to play for the team and win.
Boys got to pull together and make your assignments. Don't think your ability will correct your mistakes. Tough thing to learn when you have not lost much. Well now ya have. So lets see what ya got.

Sorry not to drink all the koolaid you're serving but if the boys aren't performing to best of their ability like tackling and executing good blocks, that is squarely in the coaches responsibility. Most folks don't say a whole lot because of the success but if you can evaluate the games and not see a ton of coaching opportunities to grow, you're wearing some really tinted glasses.

[d0tc0m]

Well the coaches can preach all they want to, and they can run em through drills until they're blue in the face, but bottom line is, the boys HAVE to execute what they are coached to do. The coaches can't control the turnovers on the opposition's side of the field, one of them coming on the 1 yard line. There are no excuses for fumbling the football, other than it's just a piss poor effort. The boys better learn quick to take care of that football and start wrapping up on the defensive side, or this will be a very painful year. That said, I think they can do it. It's very tough to lose 2, especially back to back, with two 4A teams coming up on the schedule. But, it's not the end of the world, and the boys had 3 losses last season and made it to State. So this ship can be righted, but they're just going to have to sell out and believe in themselves and each other and know that they CAN make it happen.

[orange machine]

As ugly as Celina is playing right now the coaches will have these boys clicking sometime during district.

[ctown]

Yall are whack. You are the same people who talked about these kids being the best Celina team we've seen and now they gotta teach themselves how to tackle and execute?? That sounds like a job that might pay pretty good money in a football town like Celina---it's called a coach. You need to also ask why we get burned two weeks in a row in the same way to a Spread offense, one back running threat attack. If you don't have the kids that can open field tackle, then you just don't sit there sour faced and make no adjustments. You better check yourself when you use the words "piss poor" about our kids. You either got a bad case of the coach worship or you're scared of last year when the coaches told you to shut your mouths on these postings.

[orange machine]

Again no need to hit the panic button just yet. The coaches still have two games before district to figure out the issues. You cant start out mid season form every year. This team has a ton of talent its finding the right mix.

[ctown]

I agree. The team can do very well this year. I just don't like seeing the criticizing of the kids popping up here. They are young and need leadership and encouragement. Adults can handle it but players should only hear negatives from their coaches for improvement. Not on a statewide message board.

I disagree. Coaches Coach. Players Play. You can coach all you want but the players got to play. If they will not all coaching goes for naught. The coaches do not go on the field for even one play.

That I do agree with. I think the mix is just off. The players need some seasoning but there is something just not quite right. This is where coaching does come into play.

Do not mix observation with criticism. The boys are playing hard.
No doubt. But play smart. Be in the right place. Wrap up.
Block tackle execute. This is a teaching moment. Like life or the classroom, will they learn?

Personally, I have great faith in the boys. I also think as a fan that Celinians in general are spoiled by the consistency shown by the winning over time and many look to blame the coaches when things go wrong. No one wants to point at their Johnny and say he screwed up. But if you went to the kid and talked to him he would be more honest. I expect that boys will be boys and make their mistakes. The coaches will too. And if we do not have a great run this year, that too is football. I believe the boys will pull together. But criticism of coaching without observation of the play is the same as criticising the boys
when the coaches make a stupid call. It takes both to win. And both make mistakes. I for one am not going to point any fingers.
I cannot afford to pay for the glass when I throw the stone.

Now after all that dissertation and dissection of the philosophy of life, LIGHTEN UP. IT'S A GAME. LETS GO AND HAVE FUN. LET THE TEAM HAVE FUN. I LIKE TO HAVE FUN TOO.:D

If you're refering to my comment on the coaching, there is no criticism of the kids. It is a pure comment on strategy. If something is continually failing to work, you can't keep calling the same thing and expect different results.

I just think it's funny how you guys immediately go to the players being at fault for the team results. It's interesting how all this discussion suddenly became off limits after I mentioned more than the kids being responsible for the results of the games.

gunsmoke, you can point out how I need to hear something again but please go read the "quality" commentary on our kids posted in this thread. Don't be picky in calling someone out.

Whatever the results, kids and coaches have ownership. Don't throw stones and point your fingers solely at the boys. Either allow both to be discussed or say nothing.

[ctown]

With all that said, I absolutely believe these kids and coaches can have a tremendous season. My hope is that they will all look back after the season is done(Christmas!!!) and say they left nothing on the field. No regrets and no guilt.

Insanity in C-TOWN????

[turbostud]

didnt Celina go through the same thing at the beginning of last season? Give em a chance.

[Rocket]

The system puts the kids in the best position to win. Like somebody said, the kids have to execute it. That is why the same coach doesn't win championships every year. If the coach has proven himself once that he can win it all, there is nothing left to prove.

Other variables include the actual players, the assistant coaches, the players you play against, the other team's coaches, injuries, move ins, move outs, and I could go on and on all day long...

All of these variables change every year. No 2 years are alike. It seems to me those variables will catch up with Celina sooner or later and they will just be an ok or not so good team. Not the end of civilization as we know it, I assure you of that.:rolleyes:

[BILLYFRED0000]

Some. People have a hard time with reality sometime. Players play coaches coach teams win teams lose. It ain't always us winnin is the part they have issues with. As Robin Williams once said. Reality what a concept.

[d0tc0m]

Ctown you gotta calm it down. Nobody is attacking the kids here, just making observations to what we've seen. I made the piss poor comment about fumbles. Unless your arm shatters, or your leg breaks, there is NEVER an excuse for fumbling the football, period. I'll be the first to support these kids and these coaches, but I'll also be quick to tell you what I think should change. I was talking with OM the other day and I said that I thought the coaches needed to make defensive scheme adjustments when they play spread teams like the two we've just played, the 10-1 is just too easy to beat for those teams. I've pointed out personnel changes I thought the coaches should make, but that I knew they wouldn't. So you can criticize and still support, it's what we as fans do. No one is attacking these kids, because they are just that, kids. And no one has ever told me to "shut my mouth" on a message board, because no one has the authority to do that. So just take a chill pill ctown, and know that the talent is there for these boys, they're just gonna have to work really hard to improve, but there's still time to do so.

[ctown]

I understand what you are trying to say. You would also have to recognize that when you say the fumble was piss poor, you are singling out the two players involved in the play. From my point of view, that is an "attack" on a kid's performance--whether warranted or not. So we disagree there.

I just don't and will not agree that such a specific level of calling out player performance belongs on this statewide public forum. Players need to be called out in private by their coaches and fellow players. They feel enough guilt knowing it happened in a critical game without having it show up here.

It was my understanding that last year Coach Ford did in fact tell the QB Club members to quit internet posting on the team situation last year. I got a PM on it myself and thought it was pretty silly. As to having authority to tell someone to shut up, I absolutely agree no one has that power. Not Even a head coach.

Discussing changes in the big picture would seem to be fine. Especially if we are putting out false intel for others to guess about...

[BleedOrange]

I think everyone needs to lighten up a bit about the current state of Celina football. We all know Celina expects to win all games and on rare occasions they may lose a few. However, let us not forget that despite the football game these kids are getting life lessons from some of the finest individuals you would ever want to coach your kids. These coaches have forgot more about football than most on here know so lets try and keep things in perspective. Celina football is fine and they will make the necessary adjustments to achieve success. Just remember, if there is a down season, (and I am not saying this going to be one) while winning is the ultimate goal, there are other factors that are demonstrative of success.

Just remember, if there is a down season, (and I am not saying this going to be one) while winning is the ultimate goal, there are other factors that are demonstrative of success.

BO that is right on. Those guys are some of the best I have ever known or probably will ever know. It aint winnin and losin but how you play the game. Kudos to the kids and coaches for stickin together and playin tough so far and keepem comin. I for one will be at every game win or lose to support my team.

I think Coach Elliot said it right when he was on celinabobcast last week. He believes while alot of teams have reached there peek already and wont get much better he thinks that the Celina boys still have a ways to go before they start to peek. We have to remember we have a new offensive line, new backfield, new TE and new wide outs. The offense will be fine its just getting them all used to the varsity level and varsity speed which playing teams like TCA, DF and Whitehouse in none district will help a young team get used to varsity level speed since they are all fast. The defensive side of the ball will be fine as well its just finding the right mix in the box. We return alot on defense and i think we should be better than what we are, but at the same time we are replacing some players that stepped up big time last year in Marcus Johnson and LB, Brock Babb at DE, Brad Dahl at DT. I think those players stepped it up to a new level last season and players like that can be hard to replace, but i think there is enough talent to replace those guys its just finding out who fits better were and the coaches are looking at that and still have plenty of time to figure it out.

Every 3A community needs more fans like you. Unfortunately it's rare to have true support for the team and coaches. This is refreshing. Thank you!
