But the big difference I have seen between Surratt and others is he has confidence in his players to execute ANY play at ANY time in the game at ANY position on the field. And he has the juevos to call them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Carthage converts those it’s like a huge letdown to the opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready to hear from the sideline to sideline crew that has seen both of these teams in person, and get Mr. Stepps point of view on this game. Didn’t they see Carthage at the beginning of the year? The Gilmer game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFanOf22 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Just an interesting thought. What if they reset the final four by record or by state ranking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearEmaGrowlin Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Lots of practices and games from predistrict to first round of the playoffs. Capps wasn’t too comfortable yet by the Gilmer game, but grew into his role as QB throughout the year. He has a strong arm and one of the deep touchdown passes he threw to Bowens in the Silsbee game may be the best bomb I’ve ever seen a Carthage QB throw. It ranks right up there with the pass Anthony Morgan threw to Cortlyn Ware in the 2010 state championship game to start the day for Carthage. Carthage’s first play from scrimmage against Coldspring-Oakhurst. The other memorable deep ball from Morgan to Ware was in the semifinal against Brownwood one play after a trick play pass that went for a TD to Ed Pope was called back. Surratt went right back after Brownwood on the next play, a beautiful ball to the front left corner of the end zone. When we hit that touchdown immediately after that questionable call by the refs I knew it was our day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of the many tools LV has. When I was at the Canyon Lake game he caught a quick hitter made one guy miss and no one was going to catch him. Yes sir. That 4.3 will make people not catch ya.

The S2S crew cannot name 3 players from either team and get the names correct. Yes because getting a name right trumps all of the games and vids we see. All the coaches we talk to and other media members and the fans who send us thoughts on their games. We do not record the show scripted with rosters in front of us.

What makes Carthage an exceptional team is (1) Great coaching staff (2) Do not beat themselves (turnovers and penalties) (3) Halftime adjustments... they always keep you guessing (4) Carthage Fans...Unbelievable support. To beat Carthage this Friday you better have a balanced attack, eliminate turnovers and penalties, and keep that going for the full four quarters. That being said Waco LaVega is also undefeated (1) Great Coach (2) Seasoned Sr. QB who was a sophomore and lead them to a State Championship (3) Three exceptional running backs and a QB as well. LaVega can't beat Carthage without keeping them guessing on offense. LaVega will not hold Carthage to less than 28 pts. Bottom line is Carthage defense and like I said earlier LaVega has to pass to keep the guessing. Carthage 28 LV 14 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I no feelings of seeing carthage win a state title so y'all head can get that much bigger. I never really cared about other teams. Our heads aren't "big"...well mine that is since I can't speak for other people. Our team is very good and I'm proud about that just as you'd be proud of your Lions, when you can accurately and confidently speak on how good your team is and they back it up it's just stating mere facts. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone should just get to the stadium about 7:00 and you should be able to get any seat you want at 7:15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
