GWbearnation

yes, it really is.

Congrats to Gilmer on yet another win in this series.... What hurt GW was the fumble on the kickoff, and two roughing the passer penalty's, one that happend on a 3rd & 10 incomplete pass in the second qtr that could of changed the momentum and got the GW defense off the field. It was mistake, but these are kids and mistakes happen. Gilmer offense is good, obviously, BUT come playoff time, I'm not sure its good enough to make up for their defensive issues. #7 is a fast kid and #24 runs like marshawn lynch, I wouldn't complain about who is getting the ball, they are both effective. QB is also a good runner and if his WR are open he seems to make the throws (most look pre-determined but i'm sure that's the offensive philosophy). For GW they need to build on the performance and take it to ATL next week. Just because you can get up and play with Gilmer doesn't mean squat if you lay an egg this week or next. Also I will note it was refreshing to see some creative play calling on the offense for GW. Still ran the ball at will and averaged 6.2 yards per carry. But also was 6-11 passing for 113 yards. By my tally and I'm sure Golfingnut has a little different the stats were as such: Gilmer team: Rush 32 carriers 223 yards Pass 10-18 148 yards passing GW Team 54 rushes 340 yards 6-11 passing 113 yards

Davis is as healthy as he has been this year.... He played both ways last friday and i expect more of the same tonight.... i'm not worried about whether GW can or wont throw the ball, i'm worried about whether GW can keep gilmer from scoring every time they touch it

Looking forward to the game, as always. Gilmer has the better record and more explosive offense for sure. GW has played well vs Gilmer in the past --> 2016 @ Gilmer - Gilmer 35 GW 28 2015 no game vs each other 2014 @ Longview (playoffs) - Gilmer 41 GW 35 2013 @ Gilmer - Gilmer 52 GW 14 2012 @ GW - Gilmer 21 GW 13 AVG Gilmer 37 GW 22 Here's to hoping GW to be around in the 4th qtr with another chance to win this game, its always a fun one!

I dont think GW's 2nd half struggles have anything to do with being in or out of shape..... I honestly don't know what to attribute it to, I would assume its adjustments the other teams are making at halftime and we arent adjusting to their adjustments quick enough....

surely you dont expect me to actually watch a band march....?

i've never in my life seen SH fans trash talk about an upcoming football game.... guess there's a first time for everything

I think its a foregone conclusion GW will be dropping to 3A-D1 next year.... I personally won't enjoy the football as much.... It's more fun as a fan to play against the Gilmers, PG's, Carthage, Kilgore, etc.... won't get those games (more than likely) if you drop to 3A....

what's the biggest difference in this year's Spring Hill team compared to last year's which went 0-5 in district? Is it simply the offense? SH scored 13 points a game last year in district....

It wont be good enough... go to playoffs and lose and it will be the coaches fault for losing in the playoffs..... same story different week....

What if, Lindale has more talent more GW seeing as they are a 5A school & GW is a 4A...? Kilgore is 4-1 (Kilgore is probably better than GW), we beat center and chapel hill has only lost to Henderson (a lot of people will) and Whitehouse a 5A school.... so its possible Chapel Hill is also a better team than GW.... is that the coaches fault? This aint the pros you cant go out and sign free agents to fit your position needs, you play who you have and coach em up... Could a different scheme fit these particular players better? I would say no. Most "fans" in the stands want Gladewater to throw the ball more, I dont see that being successful with this team... The only thing I would try if I was on the staff (and this may even be a naive statement) is different formations and different type of running plays... you know some tosses here, some counters here, a RB dive, a FB dive, a lead play, a read option, etc... but guess what, THEY DO THIS FOR A LIVING, THEIR FAMILIES DEPEND ON THEM TO DO WHATS BEST TO WIN GAMES.... and you want me to belive they arent doing everything in their power to win games...? you want me to belive they just the ball 40 times a game just to prove a point? no they are doing what they think is best.... on to the bye week and on to district....

I wasn't making it up.... that's not my forte....

From Regan Roy's (KETK) twitter: "Per Gilmer High's Brian Bowman (Gilmer high school principal): There are only 130 tickets tickets left for Gilmer-Carthage. No tickets will be sold at the game."

i ugh think we remember....

my bad, thought you were mentioning GW gilmer game....!
