Sat on the Carthage side and it was a great time. Pulling for you guys! Glad you sat on our side and supported those Bulldogs, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ingram at linebacker can run extremely well for a 220 pounder. Both D ends run well for their size. I would say team speed is above average. Beating a two time 5 A champ, no because of the depth and numbers. Last year making both play only 22 players, 24 counting kicker and punter. Yes I would take the 2017 Dawgs. Do some people consider this to be a down year for Carthage? Yall are 14-0 so I wouldnt imagine too much complaining in the community haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The caveat to that is 2017 was possibly the best 4A team of all time not just the best Carthage team in history. So, I think we’re collectively happy with the results so far this season.

wtxfootball Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I'm a huge Texas fan and have gone to a lot of their games this year so I'll always be thankful to Carthage for producing Ingram! Only problem for him is he doesnt get enough carries, come on Herman make him the primary RB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The success of the team was predicated on some young kids stepping up and they did. Lots of Soph & JR starting or getting a lot of reps. We have been trying to tell people that 2019, 2020 & 2021 are all going to be special. 2018 is looking pretty special too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Stephenville team a couple years back would like to have a word with you lol. But yeah Carthage last year was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offense - size. Defense - speed. But if I had to choose one for the whole team - speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next August look for Ingram to be 10-15 lbs heavier and getting 20-22 touches a game instead of this year’s 14-15 touches a game. I am hoping his younger brother joins him in 2020 at UT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still needs a little more bulk to take that kind of pounding. Next year I truly believe he will be among the nation leaders in rushing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a copy cat league. So as of now everyone is trying to do what Saban does. Can't have enough depth. Saban has 5 stars riding the pine for a couple of years. It's all about the program. If you buy into it more than likely you will lift hardware and get drafted high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnjoyLife Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 This is going to be a good game. I expect LH to shorten the game and limit Carthages possessions but I dont think it will be enough. Carthage by 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, and your young players are fresher when that draft happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
