Mavchamp Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Mavs hosting a playoff game for the first time since 2008 when they hosted Kilgore. Hosted Klein Oak in 2005. Got to go back to the 1960’s before that. ——— Lamar Cons started the season 5-0, but lost 3 of their final 5 district games. They are 7-3. Two of their losses were to state ranked Huntsville (9-1) and state ranked A&M Consolidated (9-1). A loss to (5-5) Montgomery sent them to 4th place. Marshall has two losses. One to #4 Longview (6A) and #1 Carthage (4A). Since those losses they have won 7 in a row. More info later. Just wanted to get the thread up and running! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps50 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Good job Mavchamp. Hopefully others will jump in that know a little about what type of offense and defense they run. Knowing they are out of a tuff district it would go without saying they are probably one of the better 4th place teams coming out of any 5A district.

They just couldn’t hold onto the ball. Our pass defense is a scary good. But power running games seem to be our weakness. That was the most success anyone has had against us since Longview abd Carthage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Mavfan Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 You cant tell everything by highlight vids but it looks like they are a run heavy spread offense and like to mix in some underneath passes. It doesnt look like they have a ton of speed but decent size. It should be a good matchup, as they look to be better than our district teams but not on the level of Carthage and Longview. We have to limit our penalties and take advantage of our speed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoboFan07 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Definitely will be interesting to see how this plays out. Lamar would probably do very well in Marshall's district, and I don't feel like the Mavs have really been pushed that much in district play. Cheering for Marshall.

Mavchamp Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 Lamar will be the best team we’ve faced since Carthage. We had very little resistance in district outside of the first half Vs Lindale. Most of the scores we’ve given up in games have been junk points given up by our bench in the second half. The starting D only surrendered 4 or 5 touchdowns in 7 district games. Thats unreal. I’ll double check when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 The bracket does us no favors. Round 1: Lamar Consolidated (7-3) Round 2: Nederland (9-1) Round 3: Huntsville (9-1) Round 4: A&M Consolidated (9-1) or PNG Round 5: Kerrville Tivy (9-1) Then a bevy of great teams in the title game including Aledo, Frisco Reedy, South Oak Cliff, Corsicana are all looking good.

Gramps50 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Mavchamp it looks as if we can make it through all those teams the Mavs have for sure earned a right for a shot at the title. The Mavs have got to step up and play as champions if they want to beat the best! If they can eliminate all the penalties and make all the PAT’s along with communication with each other they will do fine! I believe in them and they must believe in themselves!

Mavchamp Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Oh I agree I believe we can do it! But there’s no easy road! I’m like in that possible third round matchup. Marshall could be facing their former head football coach. Maybe two past head coaches. Rodney Southern looks like he’s doing the exact same thing in Huntsville that he did in Marshall when he was here 2002-2006. im not 100% but Thed Harris (2007-2010) may be on his staff too. Someone else may know. Southern lead Marshall to back to back state chcampionship games in 2004 and 2005 before he left for Belton. Harris lead Marshall to the region finals in 2009 and the region semis in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manvel is another possible opponent in that round I think. They have the talent, just don' think they are better than Huntsville. That Huntsville defense separates them from a lot of teams in that region imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontheinside Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 No coach Harris but David Brewer is the OC and plenty of former Mavericks are on that staff including Jackson Hood, Jonathan Goree, and Jared Shepard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Mavfan Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I know 7on7 doesnt mean a whole lot when it comes to actual playing with pads on under Friday Night Lights. But we did play Huntsville in the Lufkin SQT and pretty well dominated them. So as far as just matching up skill position athletes i believe we would have the upper hand. But throw in the big boys and all the other intangibles like coaching, special teams, tackling, etc it could be a whole different ballgame.

Gramps50 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I know their offense is power run but what is their defense like against the run and pass? I did see in Dave Campbell that they had 9 returning on defense and only 3 on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbabi86 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Marshall’s district did them no favors. By not being tested since the third week of the season will really hurt them. I see one maybe two rounds based on the region. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Not that it matters....but Marshall finished #15 in the combined AP 5A poll. Still no clue why they don't split it...... it makes no sense to me. Interesting note.... how many 5A Div II Reg III teams are in the poll 4. FB Marshall 11. Manvel 12. College Station 13. Huntsville 15. Marshall 19. A&M Consolidated If this were a 5A Div II poll only...it would be dominated by region III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
