Who cares if Cedar Hill got abused by Katy...so did nearly everyone else that played them this year. They would've abused Carthage too. WHAT?!! I did not say that.

The rest of those teams, meh. I would say all three of the teams mentioned above are tougher than what Carthage faced, but that doesn’t mean Carthage wouldn’t have beaten all of them and Aledo in 2020. 3 teams = CHill, Lovejoy, Timberview The bolded suggest that Carthage would have beaten them + Aledo.

AH! Sorry, misspoke there, did not intend to include Cedar Hill in that, apologies, you are correct. Please exclude CH from that and leave in Timberview, Lovejoy and Aledo as teams I’d expect Carthage to defeat in 2020. Good catch, CH accidentally lumped in there.

Carthage has had a team or 2 that might beat us but not this year. You couldn't be more wrong. This was not one of the best teams Aledo has had, meanwhile this was one of if not the best team Carthage has had. Carthage would win this year by 14+. Firstly due to the dominating defense. Secondly, the offense with a wealth of playmakers all over the field and a QB who completed 70 percent of his passes and thats not dink and dunks like so many offenses run. Thats down the field shots all over the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtney is also just an amazing RB. Their RB is nowhere near as tough and rugged as Courtney and Courtney has great moves, vision and more speed than people give him credit for. The Carthage defense would treat Aledo like they did everyone else. Aledo did not impress me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell when it's someone who hasn't been paying attention or done their research commenting. I believe anyone who can look at something objectively, from an outside perspective would not just immediately write off and assume that this year's Aledo would "slap" this year's Carthage. People get way too caught up in the classifications and just assume the bigger school would dominate. And while by happenstance that often is the case, Carthage is the type of program that defies conventional expectations and limitations of the Class/Division. Much like Aledo I'd say. I am confident if these two teams played 10 times it would be 50/50 or better for Carthage. And as someone else pointed out, Liberty Hill moved up and made it to semifinals running a slot-t. What would Carthage do with Surrat, an offense that can do anything and strike from anywhere and a defense that was dominant from wire to wire? The same or better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its not even just the offers...eye test straight up tells me he's better. Aledo OL > Carthage OL There isn't a Jojo Earle anywhere on Carthage's roster. I know all about Montrel Hatten....he was in Longview at Spring Hill MS before he went to Carthage...promising future he has but he was no Jojo Earle this year. As for defense...this is why we have to take into account who played who. Because from a talent standpoint, how can you say Carthage had a better defense than Aledo...who held Cedar Hill to 27? Chris Wright, DeMarco Roberts, Kyle Thompson, Ryan Williams...Safety Bryan Allen Jr who is committed to LSU....etc There is nothing on the football field this year that suggest Carthage would have beaten Aledo...or even an Ennis.

It's clear that you do not understand the landscape of TXHSFB...at all. What Region was Liberty Hill in? A Valley team in 6A/5AD1, who wouldn't beat Tyler Legacy, or Carthage for that matter, gets a free ride to the quarters every single year because Region 4 is not strong. Same applies here. You put LH in Region 2 with Aledo/Ennis/Timberview/Frisco/SOC....ouch. LH was maybe a 4th place team in Aledo's district alone.

You’re forgetting about Braden Wade among others. I’d still take the CHS receiving corp over Aledo’s. As for defense...this is why we have to take into account who played who. Because from a talent standpoint, how can you say Carthage had a better defense than Aledo...who held Cedar Hill to 27? I’ve already posted twice the schedules Carthage and Aledo had in ‘20. Aledo’s schedule doesn’t scare me. Aledo gave up over 200 more points on defense than Carthage did in 2020. Over 200!! If you think that Aledo QB could’ve operated against the ‘20 CHS defense you’re nuts. Chris Wright, DeMarco Roberts, Kyle Thompson, Ryan Williams...Safety Bryan Allen Jr who is committed to LSU....etc There is nothing on the football field this year that suggest Carthage would have beaten Aledo...or even an Ennis. Aledo by a lot. You’re just a hater, you talk about eye test and refuse to watch and acknowledge the one we’re talking about. You see that Carthage C and immediately see red in more ways than one.

That Nac game back in ‘08 was the beginning of the season and SS’s second year. Carthage was still growing as a program at that time. The year Carthage beat Marshall by about a touchdown they were ranked #10 at the time and went on to lose in quarterfinals or something like that. It was Marshall’s best team in years, and again it was the beginning of the season. You just trying to pick and choose the worst games for Carthage over the last 13 years proves you’re grasping at straws. I’ve grown to understand why your name is ANTI.

HearEmaGrowlin Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 @ANTI , you may want to check before you make references to certain teams struggling. You picked Carthage 2017 as a team to say they struggled with folks, because you’re saying it’s our best team ever. That team struggled with no one just like 2020 struggled with no one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANTI Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 You can call me a hater just as easily as I can call you a homer. @HearEmaGrowlin And borderline casual. First you said "Aledo doesn't use TEs" (when they do)...now you're saying they had no QB to get him the ball... JR Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi at 6'3 200+ transferred in from Cali and if you weren't hiding under a rock, you'd know that it was a pretty big deal coming into the season because numerous FBS are in contact. Aledo hardly ever lacks at the QB position....but yeah..."they had no QB". TEs do a lot more than just catch the ball. Also, I can tell you only watched Aledo in the state game. Because they've used him a lot in the passing game all year. Maybe the staff didn't have to use him a lot against Crosby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not what you wish he were in order to favor your position in this discussion. He still needs lots of improvement. Horton by far > Aledo QB. Of course I didn’t mean they literally don’t use TE’s and yes they do more than catch passes, but Smith does both. Aledo TE made zero impact to the game outside of blocking. Yes, I only watched Aledo in the state title game this year, you are correct. I have seen Aledo plenty in the past and recent past and know pretty well what they do, how they play. I did not have to watch Aledo all season to make a prediction on a hypothetical 2020 Aledo versus 2020 Carthage game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You accidentally made that up. Lost one to Mahomes, one to Nac in ‘08 and lost to Hallsville in that terrible 2014 6-6 season after having lost almost all of our offensive production from 2013. You should calm down with the Carthage would beat the entire 5AD2 and over half of 5AD1 stuff. Why? All I have ever said is in certain years, which is now more often than not, Carthage can compete in and win 5A-D2 and can defeat half of 5A-D1. Why does that upset you so much?

But playing up in opponent hasn't been a cakewalk for Carthage...especially if the opposite team had any type of pulse.This is something you have built up in your head, because you do not want to admit Carthage is better than standard 4A.
