ADKargyleTCU12 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 I have prepared some stats for those of you that like to look at those kind of things. Although I am an Argyle homer, I want to be educated for this game as a fan so that I can try to look at the game objectively prior to the game. All DOD friends welcome in the Argyle section to shake those "shakers" with us!FairfieldOpponent W/L 84-91Opponent Average State Rank 426.6Average Points Scored 57.3Average Points Given Up 9.2State Rank 19National Rank 141ArgyleOpponent W/L 106-73Opponent Average State Rank 321.9Average Points Scored 51.7Average Points Given Up 12.7State Rank 11National Rank 84By the looks of the above numbers, both teams have dynamic scoring offenses and shutdown defenses. Upon further analysis, Fairfield has not played nearly the teams that Argyle has, on the whole. Fairfield's best 4 wins came against Navasota (ranked 68 in TX), Rockdale (ranked 134 in TX), Connally (ranked 141 in TX), and Sinton (ranked 174 in TX). Argyle's best 4 wins came against Graham (ranked 30 in TX), Gilmer (ranked 37 in TX), Nolan Catholic (ranked 96 in TX), and Celina (ranked 111 in TX). Argyle has more quality wins than Fairfield. Now, this may not mean that Argyle will win, obviously, but it does mean that Argyle has been tested by teams closer to their talent level more often.Going to keep digging into the numbers... Go Eagles! ... Argyle that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollywood91 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Argyle by 7 Â Although Fairfield may be the first team that can take them to the wire this season. The match up in the trenches is priceless. Fairfield's speed can match Argyle's. It'll come down to execution. What a great match up for the State Championship. One I picked would happen in week 2.

homegrown Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 This will be Fairfield's toughest test by far. I'm hoping freestone county wins the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playmaker Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Played Fairfield in scrimmage and they have some hosses,I think Fairfield has one of those classes that most schools wait for and they have reached the game that everyone wishes for but Argyle is very experienced in playoffs and considered a power but more importantly they are just a talented and great team. Argyle 35-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

player73 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Fairfield run has been easier all you have to do is look at the schedule and check the records. Only time will tell if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBLAg Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Fairfield has took care of business with every game that they have played. They did not control their scheduling. We will see what happens on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumitstock Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I am curious how did the 5 days rest affect graham an stevenville?I don't know if we have any games of the past that shows this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasbird Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Strength of schedule always makes for an interesting debate. A teams historical past is usually brought into a lot of those same debates as well. But the fact is that 179 other teams in 3A failed to make it to the Championship game. Argyle, Fairfield, Carthage, and Kilgore ALL EARNED their spot. The one's that seem to have the strongest opinion that Fairfield will not even compete with Argyle or that they shouldn't be in this game, have not witnessed what this team has been through and the heart that they played with this special season. They have under estimated no one all season, and I don't think that they will start now. With an outstanding coaching staff and the whole community behind them, they will be ready. Don't make the mistake of under estimating them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
player73 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Fairfield is for real no doubt but so is Argyle.Argyle has knocked off nearly everyones favorite to win it all before the season in Gilmer.Fairfield took out the defending State Champs on their home field.Good luck to our Freestone County neighbors as they will play their strongest foe yet on the biggest stage there is.

Our Eagles feel the same way and have nothing but respect for how difficult the playoff road for each worthy team has been. Great season and prayers for an injury free exciting and memorable final for all involved! Great memories being made weekly! God bless all the players and fans with safe travels in what will be a very exciting weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whousecats Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I can tell you first hand this Fairfield team is very good. I have seen Fairfield up close and personal and they have the ability to scratch you where it itches. That is the big key to me, is both of these teams have the ability to run and throw. Both have a good defense. Â One thing Fairfield is going to need to do is to continue to create turnovers. They have done that all year. Created turnovers, and scored off of them to change momentum. Â Against Palestine it was 14-0 with Palestine driving late in the 2nd quarter. It was very much a game with about 4 minutes left before half. Palestine turns the ball over, and before you know it what was possibly about to be 14-7 at half, became 28-0. Â Â Â Argyle is very good too for sure though. Should be a great game. I do think these are the two best teams in 3a d2. I do not think the state championship game happened in round 3, I think it happens this weekend.
