This was perhaps the best team of Carthage’s 8 state champion teams. Certainly the best defense. It’s hard for me to decide if I think it was the best offense they have had, but tying record for points in 4A championship game and setting the record for yards was a big swaying point for me on the offense. This is a joke. Carthage isn't Top 25 in Texas much less the Country. These national rankings are absurd. Carthage would be an average to above average 6A team. Nothing special if they were playing against the big boys. Great small school team. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think average to above average in a classification way bigger than 4A Div 2 is a compliment. So thanks! I’m not saying that for sure Carthage should be considered in the top 25 teams in the country. I’m saying it’s cool to get that kind of recognition and that big recognition is deserved for what they have done as a program in 14 years but also with the special dominant run this years team had. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure there are some 6a that can get the business handed to them no matter what class. Carthage wouldn’t win the championship in higher classification but completely dismissed them despite the accomplishment isn’t accurate at all. I think that's the perfect way of putting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any program that wins 8 state titles in 13 years in Texas deserves at least an "also receiving votes" when it comes to top 25 teams in the country. Any debate about what they could or couldn't do in other classifications is academic. You don't win 8 rings with luck. Carthage deserves the hype. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEFFRO3 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 There is an East Texas connection at #3. Saint Joseph’s Prep is lead on the defensive side by Jeremiah Trotter Jr. His dad graduated from Hooks and SFA and had a long career in the NFL. He is committed to Clemson as a linebacker. There is another Trotter (Josiah) who will be playing for Saint Joseph’s Prep in the following years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way in the world that Carthage is Top 25 in Texas much less the whole United States. You homers are hilarious. Delusional bro.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the best program in 4A and have State Championship to prove it. This is like saying Mary Hardin Baylor with the National Championships they have won in Division 3 is one of the Top 25 programs in all of College football. You don't really believe they are one of the best teams in all of Texas do you? Much less the Country? If so you Carthage boys are deranged 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
