If Garrison hangs tough in the Tenaha or beats them, then Carlisle is the favorite for this region. Carlisle is very good, and well coached. I think Garrison is good, but Carlisle could get to play at Jerry’s World. Their #5 at Q.b may be the best Athlete I’ve seen in a long time, and the rest of the team ain’t bad either. #5 for Carlisle is a game changer ... By far the best QB I have seen this year .... we would have our hands full with him ... Alto's defense looked like they were in slow motion chasing him around the field. He looked like he was just toying with their defense ... I do believe we would have to play ball control and keep him off the field if we do happen to meet up down the road ...

We aren’t playing very good right now, but Carlisle plays more like old school football and old school mentality. Garrison is a good football team and #22 is a stud, but the overall team speed for Carlisle is very hard to match up with. You never know what can happen in the playoffs, but if #5 for Carlisle stays healthy they are a very hard out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diehard Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I agree with Greezy....Our district is brutal and will beat up on each other. There are 6 teams worthy of a playoff spot. If you don't bring your "A" game every Friday nite you could leave with an "L". While Carlisle may or may not be the class of this region there are plenty of quality teams.

Is there a sleeper that will explode into the scene and upset some folks that aren't paying close attention? Or is it playing out along the lines that everyone expected? This week could be the turning point in some districts that upsets some apple carts.. Anybody care to hazard a guess? I think Cushing is a team flying under the radar and having a better-than-expected season. Now, I really don’t expect them to make a deep run in the playoffs, BUT I think they will make the playoffs which is a win in itself. And Alto is NOT sleeping on them this week because they are 5-1, motivated, and hoping to build on their first district win since 2011. So anyway, back to the idea of the “sleeper”......maybe more of a DISTRICT sleeper than a Region 3 sleeper. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Campbell's even does it pre season I believe to sell magazines ... Over half of their top 10 teams always fall by the wayside early in the playoffs because they never were worthy of their early rankings .... many were just "place holder" rankings to represent all regions ... Agreed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple have tried that, Troup came closest but took shot up field and scored too fast, then drove down to go ahead and try to put it out of reach when (the fumble) happened. Timing was everything and they mistimed it a little bit. We returned it for six and then they had to air it out and Jamion got the pick to allow us to kill the clock. But it almost worked..

SwarmingOnEm Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Your only hope to beat Carlisle is to control the ball for long drives, no turnovers, pray for them to give you an extra possession, and keep their offense off the field as much as possible. Hope you have the ball last and score leaving them no time lol. Pretty simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
