Buckeyes D1?

[lostaussie]

Spring Hill takes down Chapel Hill 29-28. That puts the
Buckeyes on the fast track to a D1 playoff berth

[shamu85]

I would pay to see a Gilmer-Wylie matchup!:D

[easttexas3a]

I wouldn't put any stock in it yet. With Gladewater losing by one to Tatum, and Shill beating Chill by one, who the heck knows how it will finish.

[Sweetwater Red]

Sweet! Would love to see Wylie/Gilmer, unless we are still playing of course.

[poisoned10]

Even though I think Chapel Hill will start distrcit out (0-2), I still think they will make the playoffs.

They started with Spring Hill last night and will travel to Gilmer next Friday during the Yamboree. Then they have Tatum at home, Bullard at Bullard and Gladewater at home.

The next 2 weeks should give us a pretty good idea of how things will play out.

Bullard (0-5)
vs. Gilmer (L, 0-71)

[Aesculus gilmus]

I think there's still a good chance Gilmer will go D2, although D1 is the easier route to a championship.

This year, it may not matter much.

[lostaussie]

my personal preference............i gues my wish list:D would be to go D1, have Gonzales not make playoffs and play Cuero in semi's..............just because i have always wanted to play them...............and then get AW in the finals. and who said D1 was the easiest road to a championship:D that would be a great Christmas!!!!

[Aesculus gilmus]

La Vega certainly thought it was last year and even went to the extent of 'laying down' for a final game opponent in order to go D1. Rumor mill at the time was the Pirates were upset at the prospect of having to face the Buckeyes in the Area round.

I thought it to be poetic justice when Prosper upset them and took the D1 title away from them. Deliberate losing should never be rewarded.

GMTA! I would LOVE this to play out! :clap:

[Buckeye1980]

D1 would not bother me but,not to get ahead of things , it would be a shame in East Texas for Gilmer to go D1 and Carthage go D2 and both teams win state and not get a chance to play each other . Like I said not to get ahead of things , but that would be an outright same!

[WOS87]

Looks like it will come down to Tatum vs Chapel Hill now...

Carthage is by no means an automatic lock to even win their district with Jasper playing as well as they have been much less win Region III in D2 or repeat as State Champs

I stated , with good reason, that I was not getting ahead of anything. It will take alot for both teams to win it all. I agree about Jasper,they might very well win district, which would guarantee Carthage goin D2. Like Loastaussie said , all the people concerned with whether Gilmer goes D1 or D2 are not from Gilmer, we are gonna line up against whoever is against us

I thought it to be poetic justice when Prosper upset them and took the D1 title away from them. Deliberate losing should never be rewarded. I met 2 LaVega players at PALS state in Austin this past February.

1 was their starting MLB and another was an O lineman. I asked them if it was true that they "threw" the game, and this is what they told me:


"Well, to be straightforward, no, we didn't intentionally throw the game, BUT we did play our backups so our starters wouldn't get hurt and we didn't really care if we lost or not because we already had our playoff spot locked up. If our backups would have won the game, then we wouldn've went D 2 and that woulda been fine with us. We preferred D 1 and so we got what we wanted and we got our backups some PT. We still almost wont that game and our backups and coaches were doing everything they could to win the game with the backups. They just weren't going to play the starters and risk injury to win a game that didn't mean anything."



That's not the exact words, but that's the basic of idea of what they told me.


And we went on and talked about the SC game against Prosper and all that. Seemed like 2 really good guys and the MLB (c.j. I think) was an excellent athlete.

[easttexas3a]

I don't care which way Gilmer goes, just as long as we make it through district healthy. We need to be playign our best ball by the time the playoffs get here.

I think a fun one would be going D1

Gilmer vs. Jasper
Gilmer vs. La vega
Gilmer vs. Navasota
Gilmer vs. Cuero
Gilmer vs. Abilene Wylie

idc who you are, that would be a brutal 5 weeks lol.

[Move The Chains]

As of right now, I'd pay 50 or 60 bucks to watch Wylie and Gilmer go at it.

[oldtownag]

Carthage will now start rolling now that their East Texas 4A title is secured. The Dawgs were without their stud RB last night against Center.

I want to state right now that we want to be in whichever division Gilmer is in!

Code Red my butt!

[Aesculus gilmus]

I'm sure those LV players are fine individuals of high character and all that. The coaches are responsible for decisions not to play the best players and thus not do their best to win particular games. I'm just glad the decision eventually backfired on that coach.

I realize everyone wants as many champions and as many playoff games as possible (thus, the split into two divisions), but I sorta miss the days when there was one undisputed state champion in each class.

Hey guys CH plays hard and for the entire game. We got two players injuried. Don't know the status as of right now,,,,could be out a week or so. They are by far IMO the toughest team we've played. We had a couple of really frisky officials that couldn't keep their scarves folded but at least it was both ways. It was at more crutial times for us (everytime we got in the Red Zone) but they would not for the life of them let the teams play. They penalized CH in the end zone for celebration and all the kid did was make a fist and jump and cheer. N o big deal ,,,,really just reaction. Not like he did a dance or anything.

It was an awesome game. Hard loss for CH they came out very confident and fought hard. Great win for us. It will help carry us into the next week with a bit more spirit I think. Our team seemed much more united. I am very proud for them/us.

And here is why the Gilmer fans want a rematch with Carthage. People who are just cocky can't live in Carthage because they aren't conceited enough.

True, very true. Not me of course. Right now, I don't think we can get to the third round to play them...:doh: :weeping:

Haha......ain't that the truth! I would love nothing more than a second chance to shut them people up.:D What's Coach Traylor's record in rematches?:thinking: CODE RED - "Think it, say it, do it!" :D

[oldtownag]

I have no idea what his record is in rematches. However, his record against coach Suratt is 0-1!

Scoreboard!

P.S. You don't see anyone from Carthage coming up with slogans like "Code Red"!

[poisoned10]

I'll just put it this way, he is undefeated.

In fact, there is only 1 team that has beat Coach Traylor more than once, and that is Daingerfield.

Currently, there are only 3 teams with winning records (above .500 winning percentage) against Coach Traylor: Canton, Liberty Hill and Carthage. His record against those teams are 0-1.

It's like the saying: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Someone needs to explain this to me , how is the East Texas 4A title secured?

[icu812]

Ha Ha yes we need a rematch. I didn't realize the Gilmer and Carthage folks were so badly itching for a fight with each other. I was at their last game and it was a good one.

Come on Chapel Hill!!

Big win by Spring Hill btw.

[waterboy]

It's okay Buckeye1980.....they don't fall too far from the tree down that way...:D It truly makes me no never mind who we play along the way just so long as we can bring home the championship trophy..........although, I would love to add Carthage to the list of victims in our quest.;) They are the defending champions until they lose...... and a rematch would definitely be one game to circle on the calendar. :devil:

Tristan Holt of the Buckeyes was IMO penalized unnecessarily a few weeks back also (Kilgore game, IIRC), basically for just showing the emotion that he was happy he'd just scored a TD.

I'm with Bruce Springsteen on this: "It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive."

I guess the officials' attitudes these days is that you must stop, gently hand the ball over to the nearest zebra authority and then bow in solemn reverence to the football god once you gain entrance to the sacred territory for which you are awarded six points.

Well put. I really felt for the kid. He was just excited. But really,,,,those stripes were throwing gold everywhere. The headlinesman was on our side of the field and I wanted to yank his little blond curley hair out and kick his fat hinney. There were 10 for them,,,8 for us and a few were just uncalled for.
:mad:

I agree. Hasn't he been flagged a couple of other times for the same thing? I looked at that play on tape and I still didn't see anything that he should have been flagged for. There was nothing excessive in his celebration, in my opinion. Football is a game of emotion, and to not allow celebration for scoring is just downright unAmerican to me:mad: , so long as it's not excessive or taunting, which I definitely haven't seen from Tristan!
