    Default The ball bouncing a little weird in East Texas this year

    So let me see where to start.
    Gilmer beats Center by 49. Gilmer loses to Carthage. Carthage loses to both Henderson and Kilgore. Kilgore beats Henderson. Henderson beats Center 56-0. And of course Center beats Kilgore.

    I'm sure this can be expanded on many times over. It's just been a little weird up here this year!!!

    I agree. Not to mention Carthage beat Center 49-16. Kilgore played Palestine close and then Carthage beats them by what could've been 100. I don't know what to think. Carthage looked like world beaters early, and then had a major lull in the middle of the season. Let's wait and see what happens in the playoffs. Either the top East Texas teams are really good and anybody can beat anybody on any given night, or we are all average. To be honest there is very little separating Gilmer, Carthage, Kilgore, and Henderson. So we will see what they do in the playoffs. If the Carthage team that showed up against LE, WH, Gilmer, and Palestine shows up they can beat anybody. If the same one that showed up against Henderson and Bullard shows up they will be at home after round 2. Really a Jekyll and Hyde team this season. We will see if this team can make another unexpected run deep in the playoffs. It will either be really fun or really painful.

    If Gilmer could just stop turning the ball over... We will likely get at least 3 rounds deep with the talent alone. If we stop the turnovers, though, I think we can easily be in Jerry's World in mid-December. Heck, who knows, we may be there anyway.

    Yes, this has certainly been a weird year in ET. How Center beat Kilgore in Kilgore is beyond me. Center is talented, but good grief, Kilgore was rolling right along and then BAM!

    Kilgore definitely didn't play their best game of the year, but it's not like we turned the ball over 5 times or had 150-yds in penalties or anything. Center's QB just happened to be on fire all night long and he and the D-1 receiver absolutely torched our secondary.

    Yep, I read the stats, but I still didn't expect that to happen. Their QB is big and elusive, and their D1 wide receiver is big and pretty fast. I'm not surprised they had pretty big nights. I just thought that Kilgore would make a few more stops than they did, and that Center wouldn't be able to stop Kilgore often enough to win. It just goes to show that anything can happen on any given Friday night in ET.

    The C Dawgs this past Friday night started what I see as here we go. They dominated the game and will turn it up a notch this week. Coach S said after the game that was the first game since the Gilmer game that the Dawgs played with emotion, fire, and mistake free ball. He believes the Dawgs are peaking at just the right time and will get better each game from here on out. The storm has started, it will stay in East, Texas for one more week and then will start moving across the state. Light wind last week, smell of rain in the air, lightening in the distance, sound of thounder, heavy rain, strong winds, and finally, the Dawgnator hits.

    I knew someone would work Gladewater in there. There are probably several other scenarios also

    Sorry... that was me from the future chiming in. I told him to stay out of it. He could change the outcome saying things like that.
