FootballETX95 9 Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 4 hours ago, Eagleborn said: You have Sabine underachieving more than Gladewater? I agree Gladewater was a disappointment. I expected at least two rounds. Once a team figured out all they had to do was throw on GWs defensive backs, they would have a fighters chance. As for Sabine, they had enough talent to finish 4th place even after their stud DE was lost for the season. Sabine exposed a lot of teams defensive weaknesses, but didn't stick with it (ex: pass the ball just as much as run the ball prior to getting down by two or more TDs).

FootballETX95 9 Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Tatum impressed me this year also, although I'm somewhat bias due to family ties. The QB looked impressive and the run game, WOW! Tatum will be something to deal with next year especially when some teams are graduating some studs. Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree. The region weakens going into next year. Other districts that are graduating a lot talent. MV/Potts are losing some top tier talent just to name a couple. "Our" district should be bumping heads in the playoffs. If not, it'll be due to coaching. Link to post Share on other sites
Tiger03lb 310 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Overachievers-MV, Groesbeck, Tatum, West, WO, Winny, Minny, Paradise, JN, Pilot Point, Diboll, Yoakum, Lago Vista, Blanco, McGregor Underachievers-Koff, GW, GV, Fairfield, Atlanta, Sabine, Brock, Rockdale, Yoe, East Chambers, Troy I'm probably missing a couple, just thinking off the top of my head on this and from memory. Top team that brings back everyone will be JN. We'll be seeing some old teams but new faces come up next season. Should be another good season with some regions with no clear favorite. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Could see Madison go farther if they get the whole season in. I got Tatum winning the district Too many unknowns for Koff/GV at a lot of skilled positions. They both are replacing about the same positions on each side Yeah, even good coaches can out coach themselves. Just hope covid is gone by then. Link to post Share on other sites

I have Tatum winning district also, just didn't want to be the first to say it. GW will make noise as long as they have Allen. The same could be said for Sabine if the coaches use the talent correctly. Their QB is a better WR and the DC gotta have some sense, you have two stud CBs, move them back to CB and run a defensive scheme that fits your personnel, not the opposite. GV/Koff both are losing some key players. Link to post Share on other sites

I was really surprised by their defense this year, it has been one of the better defenses I've seen from them the past few years. Surprised they not saying they are going to win state already. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

When it's all said and done, playoff positioning will come down to the old foes... GW/Tatum/WO/Sabine and maybe ATL. Link to post Share on other sites

FootballETX95 9 Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 I was not at the GW playoff game due to work. Have asked some of my GW buds what happened, but didn't get a clear answer. I knew MV would be a problem bc of their passing game. Sabine gave other teams the blueprint on how to hang (not necessarily beat) GW. Bad thing is that Sabine abandoned the perfect game plan. Never will understand why. All they had to do is continue setting up the run with the pass and get out of that "vanilla" defense they were in. Sabine's DC must never heard of Cover 2 Man and Cover 2 Zone. That's how other teams were able to contain Allen. A real DC is needed over in Sabine. Link to post Share on other sites

Imo, GW got away from what they normally do on offense. Stopped running the ball at times and went straight passing. Had a costly turnover early in the 2nd half. In the second half GW got outcoached but with the talent GW had, they were still in the game, if that makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites

It really depends on the qb play and o-line with GW this upcoming season. If you can't get Allen the ball, it won't matter. GW defense has always been the same, imo. Link to post Share on other sites
