I am picking Vega but not very confident because of Surratt. It’s a toss up game. That’s vintage Lion70. Just tell us you want Carthage to get beat. It’s fine. Just stop with this non-sense.

Now we haven’t faced a running threat? I guess Carthage really hasn’t played anybody this year. I imagine after Carthage is 16-0 this year, people are still going to try to figure out to make Carthage not very good. Carthage has been a very easy route to the title no denying that. The Dawgs however have past the test. Vega is extremly good so carthage will definitely earn this state Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henderson was easy? Shutting out Pali was easy? I think maybe Carthage has made it look pretty easy. I will say R3 was weak this year. But they played a full regular season, and a semi-final as well. At some point it’s got to be more about Carthage and less about they haven’t played anybody. But it doesn’t matter. Carthage is about to play the big one Friday. Nothing else matters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pirates would still beat MH by at least 40. 46 minutes ago, DawgNation2015 said: Lampasas would have had no issues against S-town D. I saw nothing in the LV game that would lead me to believe the Porc’s had anyone who could run with the Badgers #1 and #5. And Lamp’s offense was more dynamic than Argyle’s IMO because Whitehead was actually a threat to run, unlike Bo. I still can’t for the life of me understand Coach Roger’s game planning vs LV. Argyle’s poor execution made LV look like world beaters. They are good, but not that good. I guess La Vega's Defense had nothing to do with that.

That was my point you can't compare games so far apart the only common opponent that was played in a close period of time is le both won 49-7 not sure when levega got there points but that was the halftime and final score when Carthage played them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty high praise, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to admit the Argyle offensive game plan played into the LV strength on D. You have to admit you were surprised that Argyle didn’t throw the ball consistently until they had no other choice because they were too far behind to run.

BigFanOf22 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 So do you think Surratt will stack the box and make La Vega throw the ball. Let me think of the last team to try that against La Vega, Oh wait that has been every team for the past 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a great gauge either. I’d say PG offense would be a fair comparison to LV. Both rely heavy on the run but are not afraid to throw it either. LV has a bigger OL but PG has a better QB. I look for Carthage to force LV to win through the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d think that is a warranted game plan as LV is very good at running the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best combination for the Dawgs to win. Like i said only suprise would be a win via blowout. Most of the state Championship for Carthage have been mismatches.

He is smart enough, football wise, that he would be a good defensive coordinator. But he lets his DC make the calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotton84 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Would it shock me if Carthage runs a 4-3 defense the whole game(like they have the last several years against the style of offense LV has)……..no Would it shock me if Carthage runs a 5-2 or even a 5-3 defense, with a 330 lb or 350 lb noseguard for part of the game...….no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol...….If the rest of the defense ###, then yeah, a big guy that can keep you from running inside doesn't help much...……..But Carthage has 3 different big guys they could put at noseguard that would most likely slow(possibly stop) the run game from guard to guard ......Then would the other 10 defensive guys be able to stop the rest of the running game, maybe and maybe not ----but would have a much better chance than the other schools you mentioned.
