Maybe, but I wouldn’t count on it

According to Calpreps, the Semifinals will be: Celina vs Gilmer Cuero vs China Spring

Calpreps has Gilmer favored by 21

Calpreps has China Spring favored by 11

Correct. Gilmer's D is good against the run, but I think the secondary is suspect at times; however, I’m not sure if there are any “passing” teams left other than the Buckeyes??

Ha! I forgot all about Region 4! Cuero definitely could win it all. Is Cuero the most balanced in regards to offense and defense?

I hate talking about this when there are still games to be played out of respect of teams not mentioned; however, I feel there are only 4 teams you can mention in regards to this thread. WOS, CS, Gilmer and Celina. Out of these teams, WOS, CS and Celina are more defense oriented as opposed to Gilmer being more of we will just outscore you. Defense wins championships, but which of the teams listed stop Gilmer’s offense who is averaging 65 ppg in the playoffs so far? Is Celina still running that 10-1 defense? If so, they will get hammered by Gilmer.

Not much. Buckeyes win.

Apparently the game was picked up by NFHS, so audio only. No live feeds.

Buckeyes are 14pt favorite according to Calpreps.

You honestly believe those penalties were legit? Some were, most were not. Against Mexia they were not penalized at all. Those dingleberry refs Friday were like oh yeah? Watch this! It was sad and pathetic. Hopefully those guys are done for the year.

Buckeyes have a pretty good one as well. I’ll take Gilmer.

That officiating crew was horrendous! Typical clueless Dallas chapter.

I don’t see PG being able to stop the run enough. Going with QF in this one.

I think Van will be able to pass some if given time, but don’t believe they will be able to run much. Tennison will pick the Van secondary apart. Gilmer will win, but by how much depends on discipline and turnovers.

Yep!

Both Vandals and Buckeyes move on to round 3 next week in Tyler @ 2pm. I’m going with the Buckeyes in this one, I simply don’t think Van’s defense will be able to stop Gilmer’s offense. Thoughts?

Yikes!

Van is playing good football right now. Van could possibly give Gilmer fits for a variety of reasons, but Gilmer will make the necessary adjustments. Gilmer’s defense is never really dominant, so Van would have some success doing some stuff. Their problem, as well as others not named Carthage, will be stopping the Buckeye offense. Gilmer will likely win against Van, but the Vandals could make it a very interesting game for sure! Hope this game happens and is played close by.

Let’s get thru round two before talking round four. Lots of football to be played before then and anything can happen. However; if Pitt and PG were to play again, I think Pitt has improved more since the last time those two played. I’d say Pittsburg.

Mexia had some success thru the air against the Buckeye secondary at times. Caddo Mills is more balanced and will probably throw it more than Mexia did, so Gilmer’s secondary will need to defend better, take better angles and certainly tackle better or this game could be closer that anticipated! I don’t think Caddo Mills will have much success running the ball.

Buckeyes by a few TD’s…
