Coach Slaughter will not allow his team to get beat that bad by Monahans. No disrespect to Monahans, but they played Snyder... I understand the preseason rankings and I know that Snyder is supposed to be a great team this year, but that's not the case... Snyder has One stand out player on offense, surrounded by a bunch of average guys. Overall that can make Snyder a scary team to play, but they are too inconsistent on both sides of the ball to be a heavy threat. With all of that being said I think Monahans is still a good team, and definitely not a team to overlook. But I just don't see them beating Sweetwater by any more than 17 points.

Monahans 27 to Sweetwaters 14 Final

He's got a heckuva leg. that's for sure. He had 3 KOs in the Vernon game. One was deep in the endzone and the KR called for a fair catch. the other two were inside the five and were returned to the 25 and 29. He might need to try to get the kicks higher in the air or we need more speed on the KO team that can get down there and cover.

What amazes me is how effortless his kicks look. He just runs out on the field straight to his spot and booms it. None of that walking up to the tee, taking two steps back and two steps to the left (or right) like most kickers.One thing is for sure It's going to be fun to watch him develop over the next two years.

Btw, they have him listed as a WR/DE in the program. I haven't seen that combo since "Bootsy" was playing. lol

I've heard Sweetwater has a much improved defense from last year. Any comments on this?

We have improved on both sides of the ball. Our O-Line is the best it's been since Slaughter has been here and our front seven on defense are playing well. The secondary was suspect against Vernon in the second half. But, Slaughter made the necessary adlustments and pulled two kids off the field and replaced them with upper classmen and that seemed to work.

Now I've heard that Monahans has a kicker that can nail 50 yarders. I got this from the Snyder broadcasters when I was in my truck and listening to the last 3 minutes of y'alls game after ours ended. Any truth to that?

Ya he hit a 46 yarder right before half that probably would have been good from 5 or 10 yards back. Sounds like Slaughter is making the right moves. Should be an exciting game this Friday! Wish I could make it

After last Friday we know he can kick 46 yard fieldgoals.

...as long as he has that 20+ mph wind at his back. Still impressive though.

**Black_Magic** · 09-01-2011, 07:51 AM

I will let this season speak for its self. we will see wont we. One note. Snyder lost to Monahans by 1 point the first game of the year in 2007... Second meeting won by 40 I believe and continued on to play Celina for a semifinal game in Abilene. Season is still very young. Unlike many on this board , Im smart enough to know you dont talk like some of these bafoons because you come back to eat a plate full of it later. Season is young. Many games to be played. Kids get better as time goes on. Snyder has Always started slow and finishes strong.

I really like how this turned into a Snyder/Brownwood thread.

The seventh annual Sammy Baugh Classic makes its return to Mustang Bowl on Thursday, with three games on tap this year.
Sweetwater and Roscoe are playing in the Classic for the seventh straight year but are facing different opponents than in 2010, and two new teams — Rotan and Ranger — will be squaring off the final day.
Roscoe (0-1) will be seeking its first win when it plays Hawley (1-0) in Thursday’s opener at 7:30 p.m., while Sweetwater (1-0) — which is coming off a 10-0 season-opening win over Vernon at the Bowl — will be taking on No. 9-ranked Monahans (1-0) Friday at 7:30 p.m.
