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 Fair take on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know that Keontay has almost 2000 yards. He's only played after halftime about 4 games. Tucker Smith, his backup, has been good, but I don't know his totals. The third string back has had lots of carries too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split between how many backs? 3200 split between two backs and a couple receivers. Keontay has 1957 and 33 touchdowns. He also has only played in the second half in three or four games.

TxBroadcaster Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 2 minutes ago, trueblue32 said: Carthage can contain the LaVega QB, pressure him, get into the backfield before the RBs get to the line of scrimmage, be at any one point on the field quickly with a stinging, swarming defense, and cover any receivers by using one simple, yet very effective defense scheme.Correct reading and proper tackling will be the way to neutralize the LaVega RBs And to flip it LaVega can establish the tunnel sweep early, set the passing game up by forcing Carthage to 9 in the box. This is why this game is going to be so epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Carthage cuts that in half still a long night. Both defenses will have there hands full on Friday night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not just about philosophy. It is also about coaches that make the adjustments in game. Grant said it best...Carthage is bar none one of the best coaching staffs at doing that. That also means at times doing things that was not in the gameplan or the philosophy of the D So much around this game is why this is going to be maybe the best 4A game of the year.

ctown94 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 my personal prediction of how this game will go. 1st half. carthage will probably struggle some. halftime. surratt will give them the talk of the night 2nd half. carthage will take surratts words and turn them into action to come back and get ahead to win in a close game. this team has been a 1st half team for most of the season. but when it counted our 2nd half game play has always benefited us because we have been able to turn it around and get the win.

So LaVega will run their base stuff on offense? Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Keontay has played all 4 quarters all year he would be right at 3800 conservatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
