H3llR4z0r Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Honestly, and this sounds bad (sorry PG fans), but I hope LE beats PG. I want some sort of sign that PG is actually human, and may actually just be a good 4A team rather than this super team haha. JUST GIVE A SIGN!!

metalhead10 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 LE is a good team and so are the Hawks. Â Going to be interesting to see what happens. Â I'm interested in this game since LE runs an offense similar to our offense in Gilmer. Teams that run an offense like PG usually do better against the Buckeyes than other teams. Â This is a good game and if you can go to it you should. Cool to see two Texarkana teams battle it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLEMAN Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The last team that scores may be the winner. Two very effective O schemes. LE will have only a slight adv in speed and PG will be very deciplined. LE D I'll be hunting the ball alnight and PG will have to defend several weapons. Mistake free ball will be the key. I don't think either team will shut the others down. I do think PG will have the best D LE has faced this year. This game will be a toss up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Sounds to me like LE may be one of those teams that has an offense that will give the Hawks some trouble. Great defensive teams can go a looong way to get a team some wins, but when you meet up against an explosive offensive-minded team with some really talented and speedy skill players.......well, it changes the way you play defense against them. And now you get out of your regular defense and into one you're not so good at.......this can cause some problems. PG will have the advantage of trying to control the clock, but the clock ain't that big a deal to a team that can score on one play from anywhere on the field against you. I'm taking the offense-minded Panthers in this one.......something tells me they are gonna cause some problems for PG's defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboyandchrist Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 You people at PG might want to worry about the next game and stop making crazy statements how and what you could or not do with teams like Gilmer and Carthage. They are ranked number one and two in the state for a reason. Carthage would hang 48 on you in a hurry. Holding Gilmer to 28 points and only 46 total yards was done by the best defense in all of 4A. Gilmer will not be held to 28 points in a game for the rest of the year. Have you played a well balanced team that can run and throw equally good. Keep winning and your play will speak for it self.

OLEMAN Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I still think it is a toss up. LE should be the favorite but cross town kids on both sides will make in a bit different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playactionpass39 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 What is the recent history of this "Rivalry"? Â I know 10-20 years ago that LE dominated PG every year and the Hawks were pretty scared to go across town to play the Leopards. Â Know I know this is not the same PG teams of the past, they like to play smash mouth football and they will definitely hit you in the mouth. Â But I was just wondering if thei is a "Big Brother" situation, much like the LE/T-High match up where one team is still unsure as to whether they are good enough to keep up with the other?

Nonothing Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I know I know, it's all me, I don't mean it personal...unless you're singled out;) I don't even think I'm talking smack. I'm an LE fan every other week:) I don't even know how LE is the underdog going into this game. I just believe in my Hawks. This is not an overnight thing, the Hawks have been building this class for years. The Class of 2018 have been competitors, champions, and athletes since they were in elementary. There's something special about this class, win or lose this Friday, I'm proud of them...especially that defense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'll tell you my take on it. Â For years it was a cross-town rivalry. Us versus them, east vs west, rich vs poor, black vs white, all the stereotypes that go with a typical rivalry. I remember there were actual feelings of hate, dislike, etc etc but then there was a game at our home field. Someone was killed in the parking lot after the game. Drunk driver. The game wasn't played for a few years after that and, for me, it was a wake-up call. When the game resumed a few years later, it was more of like an Apollo Creed vs Rocky sparing match. Still rivalry but with more respect...Warrior brothers facing off against each other for the coveted Kicker Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseGuy Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017  I'll tell you my take on it.  For years it was a cross-town rivalry.

I don't know if you were on smoaky back then but a lot of people here still remember Carl, believe his name here was "Topcat" or something along those lines. He was an avid smoaky poster, that man never missed LE football games. Here is how the rivalry has gone in recent years...lol   2006 LE 35-14 2007 PG 9-7 2008 PG 41-14 2009 LE 45-31 2010 LE 40-10 2011 LE 14-0 2012 LE 45-21 2013 LE 56-7 2014 Didn't play 2015 Didn't play 2016 LE 44-35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticker44 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 that doesn't look like much of a rivalry to me. It looks a little lopsided. PG isn't use to having success at the level they are this year. I think they are well coached and he has the boys focused.

futfan Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I miss Carl (TopCat), and the friendly, spirited back and forth between us homers. This PG team has been compared to the '09 team, which did lose to LE, but also went on to the Regional finals. I have yet to see them play, but from the reports of their success in the 7v7 summer play, I think if they have to go to a passing game, they will be fine. Rooting for the Hawks to win. Gonna be a close one. Even though LE appears to have a real kicker this year, PG continues its strength at the position over the years with Williams, who has yet to miss I believe. Will probably come down to one of those two guys to end it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 09 team had some stud athletes at skill positions that really made them go. The current hawk team and starting last year when they reverted to the wing t, I believe they realized they are not going to have more studs than the teams on their schedule. They are running on the deceptive run plays and playing good defense. They lack the passing game that the 09 team had. If we can stuff the run then this will be a LONG game for the hawks...but that is a BIG IF. Good news is that we have faced several runningbacks already that are quicker and stronger than any backs we will see this week. The King kid from atlanta was impressive, he had more success against us than the Ingram kid from Carthage did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordertown Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Interesting game. I think we are looking at a 38-35 score. I'm not sure who gets to 38. Appears to be two good offenses with very different styles. PG will limit LE touches due to their control style offense. Likewise LE is an extremely quick team. Who has the field goal kicker to win? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King kid from atlanta was impressive, he had more success against us than the Ingram kid from Carthage did. There are more studs than you are accounting for. While they may not be Graves, Duff, Banks, Phillips & etc......the Hawks this year are fielding a team of depth and really good size. The offensive and defensive line are big & they rotate in/out a lot. The LB corp is really strong & we have a safety that plays like a LB as well. While I agree with you that the Wing T is deceptive, Coach G is running more of a smash mouth style this year. Finally, don't think that because they don't pass much it means that there is no passing game. Our QB is quite capable of doing the job. You also mention that the Leopards have faced quicker & stronger backs........I don't doubt that. But remember this: the Hawks can & will trot out many good backs & it is almost (I did say almost) impossible to key on them all. The main difference that will swing this game is the defense's overall team spead. It might prove to be difficult to spread them out & let your playmakers make plays.........This team really swarms to the ball. Play-action may also prove to be tough because your QB will not have time to let a play develop due to the great line play I expect from this team. Just my two cents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticker44 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Does LE even run the ball? PG's strength on D is stopping the run. I think LE will have success throwing the ball around, PG just needs to keep everything in front of them and pressure the QB. He will make a mistake sooner or later.
