Probably going to have to watch Texas Football Today for that.

The '16 and '17 teams are very different, just like you guys say you are better then last year. I guess you are the only team that improves from year to year, your logic is off. Carthage is a as good as it gets in 4a this year. I don't think the game will turn out like '15 but neither do I think Carthage will blow La Vega out. La Vega isn't even my home team. Just giving a different opinion. I've seen this team 7 times this year including the last 3 games. They are good really good. Any team that has made it this far is. They are big, fast and play really good defense. and I'm sure Carthage does too. This is going to be a great football game. Any team that holds Liberty Hill and their Wing T to 205 yards 56 of which came on the last drive of the game where multiple second team defenders were in the game. Is a pretty good run defense.

And was just stating beating a team as good as CS last year twice is a tough task for anyone.

I would say that missing #6 in that game was a big loss for LV. CS ran at his replacement the entire game, and they were better then LV was on that day. You have to remember Bell and Williams know each other very well and beating a team as good as CS was twice in a year isn't an easy task. I'm sure you wouldn't have wanted to see them again.

I agree, unless one team implodes then the other may win by 10.

That the same with Carthage because most of the point are scored against the second string for both teams.

For team team that was loaded with sophomores in 2015 (LV) they must not have gotten any better if you think Carthage is going to beat them by 14+ point as most of you guys are predicting. Their defense may have the D1 talent they did in 2015, but over all I would say they are better. They have a better run defense then the 2015 team, and they are solid in the secondary. By no means do I think they will hold Carthage to 3 points like 2015 but I do not see LV giving up more then 17 to 21 point in this game. As for stopping the running game I'm pretty sure that has been the goal every team LV has faced this year. I've seen team put 9 in the box late in games and LV still run the ball. I've seen this team in person several times they are every bit of the 2015 team. I agree Carthage is a great team and saying they are the best team in 4a wouldn't be an overstatement . To think you are going to roll over a team that is as good as La Vega would be a poor miscalculation. Do I think Carthage can win this game I don't know I haven't seen them in person, I know Carthage is good but so is LV. Food for thought.
