FB59 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 9 hours ago, Anxiety said: The LaVega special teams will have a big game, returning two punts for TD's. I don't see them trying to even field a punt unless they get a comfortable lead. They may not even do it even then, in the event of a fake punt by the LH, if they get too far behind. They seem to muck up the receiving like that did in the SC game in 2015. They seem to be looking downfield before they have secured the catch. It's surprising that the dude who does most of the punt returns, with the speed he has and the hands to snag balls out of the air of opposing pass receivers, can't square himself up with a punt. Maybe the opposing team tries to punt away from him, but anyway, they let a lot of balls hit the ground and roll, even if the returner is in the vicinity. I don't know what the deal is but I don't think they work as hard on special teams, except maybe for kickoff/punt returns of the opposing team. They usually cover that pretty well. This is a game where they need to make all the PATs, although which they typically miss quite a few during the game. You'll probably see LH going for a lot of 4th downs if they cross the 50, so that would negate a punt attempt anyway, unless they're in an insurmountable down and distance on 4th down. Then they might try to pin LV inside the 10 with a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFanOf22 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Would you defer to the second half in this game. Last week I thought that Decatur would take the opening kickoff and try and score first and land the first punch against LV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to remember with so many years having past, but I seem to recall in '07 that Liberty Hill wasn't given much chance by most against Gilmer, very similar to this game. I think Gilmer had been on a roll for a number of years and didn't realize what LH was bringing into the game. LH was coming off of a state championship, but still a relative unknown, really just getting established as a yearly contender that was planning to stick around. I watched LH in a number of regular season games and through the playoffs that year and tried to explain to the Gilmer faithful what they were about to witness, but they were convinced Gilmer had it in the bag. LH was very impressive in a quite easy 30 something to 10 or 12 win. Now LV isn't going to be surprised like Gilmer was as they've played LH enough to know what the slot-t is all about and they know LH is a serious contender. Even with that, it does seem LH may be getting sold a bit short by some of the LV backers. If I had to make a wager, I'd put my money on LV, but I'd be extremely nervous because if that slot-t get in a groove, it quickly turns into the proverbial snowball headed downhill.

Gonna' be a good one! You have a good point there for sure. They steam rolled Carthage defensive lineman and from all the talk before the game they was the best in the state.Of course that game is over and done with so no need to dwell there. Like you said the advantage LV has is they have played LH before and i'm sure the LV coaches will be preparing the players . They still have to butt heads so it's going to be interesting ! Looking forward to it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have moved up to to 2 classifications which obviously makes it tougher imo as for as competition goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShirtD Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 My 2 cents don’t count BUT, LH will hang in there Friday and could win. LH played and took a SOLID top 5 5A school, Hutto to overtime and Hutto has plenty of athletes. The score was 52-51 I think. That tells me that LH will score Friday. Will not shock me if LH wins. I think most are with LaVega because of the Argyle game. No dog in the fight but will be there to watch a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
