    Hard to remember with so many years having past, but I seem to recall in '07 that Liberty Hill wasn't given much chance by most against Gilmer, very similar to this game.  I think Gilmer had been on a roll for a number of years and didn't realize what LH was bringing into the game.  LH was coming off of a state championship, but still a relative unknown, really just getting established as a yearly contender that was planning to stick around.  I watched LH in a number of regular season games and through the playoffs that year and tried to explain to the Gilmer faithful what they were about to witness, but they were convinced Gilmer had it in the bag.  LH was very impressive in a quite easy 30 something to 10 or 12 win.  

    Now LV isn't going to be surprised like Gilmer was as they've played LH enough to know what the slot-t is all about and they know LH is a serious contender.  Even with that, it does seem LH may be getting sold a bit short by some of the LV backers.  If I had to make a wager, I'd put my money on LV, but I'd be extremely nervous because if that slot-t get in a groove, it quickly turns into the proverbial snowball headed downhill.  

    Gonna' be a good one!

    You have a good point there for sure. They steam rolled Carthage defensive lineman and from all the talk before the game they was the best in the state.Of course that game is over and done with so no need to dwell there. Like you said the advantage LV has is they have played LH before and i'm sure the LV coaches will be preparing the players . They still have to butt heads so it's going to be interesting !  Looking forward to it myself.

    I was wrong they have won 2 state championships in lower division if that counts.

     I don't see them trying to even field a punt unless they get a comfortable lead. They may not even do it even then, in the event of a fake punt by the LH,  if they get too far behind.  They seem to muck up the receiving like that did in the SC game in 2015. They seem to be looking downfield before they have secured the catch. It's surprising that the dude who does most of the punt returns, with the speed he has and the hands to snag balls out of the air of opposing pass receivers, can't square himself up with a punt. Maybe the opposing team tries to punt away from him, but anyway, they let a lot of balls hit the ground and roll, even if the returner is in the vicinity.  I don't know what the deal is but I don't think they work as hard on special teams, except maybe for kickoff/punt returns  of the opposing team. They usually cover that pretty well. This is a game where they need to make all the PATs, although which they typically miss quite a few during the game.

     You'll probably  see LH going for a lot of 4th downs if they cross the 50, so that would negate a punt attempt anyway, unless they're in an insurmountable down and distance on 4th down. Then they might try to pin LV inside the 10 with a punt.

    I agree they are not a passing team but LH they did make a few completions tonight for descent yardage.The only disadvantage running this type of offense if they get behind say

    a couple of touchdowns it 's going to be very hard to come back clock wise if their playing a strong offense that can pass and run the ball like LV.On the other hand if they can run on LV then it will be very close. And does LV have the physical stamina for a close ground and pound game ?  I haven't made my pick either way yet.

    Yeah they know that offense intimately .  The thing that really amazes me is the speed of LV's defense.  I saw a right defensive tackle run across the field to the left in tonight's game and tackle a receiver for a loss on a bubble screen. They just explode to the ball and through the ball carriers.

    Well if LH can't run on vega there going to have a problem becasue they don't pass much. If i was LH i would come up with a passing game on vega ....surprise

    them...that's if they have any receivers to catch. They did have one good pass on the bulldogs tonight right down the middle that did well.

    You never know how the ball bounces until it's the final whistle. If LV makes the same mistakes it's made in previous years it could hand the game to LH. They play a fairly clean game and they may can possibly pull it out.

    Your right there....turnovers can make a difference.LV  knows LH offense i'm assuming since they've allready played them a couple of times.
