Football is all about match ups. Teams with big O linemen and big running backs have really hurt Gilmer, because they don't have the size to stop them. Gilmer really struggled with Spring Hill and Gladewater b/c of their big strong running backs. That was my concern with Rusk and their size. Melissa is clearly talented, but might be a better matchup for Gilmer.
Gilmer may be without 2 of their top 3 receivers. Jones I imagine will still be out with the ankle sprain, though he seemed to be walking okay on the sideline Friday. And Heath may be out with a knee / pulled muscle. They played Bates some at receiver against Caddo Mills and I think he'll take snaps there Friday night. Can't tell much from the Caddo Mills game, but Poppy seemed to have a little better touch on the deep pass.
All our prognosticating won't mean a thing, that's for sure.
We have 3 legit running backs. Jabray Young 5'10 200, Sophmore Brelynn Armstrong 5'9 195 and Sophmore Chance Mapps 5'8 170

Hard for me to take a team named Melissa seriously. Anna either for that matter.
Kinda like it's hard for me to take anybody with an Aggie logo serious.

It's gonna be a battle, but Celina pulls it out.

I'm taking Gilmer by 21. This should be taken as a compliment, considering Melissa has never come within 49 points of beating Gilmer.
I feel like Melissa will score some points, but they're fixing to face the most consistently dominant offense in 4A football. To put it into perspective, they have been held to 28 points once this season, by the best team in all of 4A football. I just don't think Melissa, which I will agree is much improved, will be able to keep up with Gilmer when it comes to scoring. Plus, it seems Gilmer's defense may have found some life this week? I know they were playing Caddo Mills, but it would have been a shutout had it not been for the JV.
This should be a good game, but I'm going to see Celina/PG, as I feel like it will be closer.
I think your gonna miss out. This game could be a shootout.

That’s funny that some are using Liberty Christian as the measuring stick. Let’s see, if that’s the case then how bout Gilmer only beating Pitt by 15 and Rusk blowing out Pitt by 47 and Melissa beating Rusk by 22. For the folks that think this game is gonna be resembling the last 3 meetings of these two teams....your truly a fool! This is gonna be one hell of a game no doubt.
Absolutely

I'm not talking about all Gilmer fans as the majority are good humble fans, but some are idiots.

I can live with that although I think Melissa is about to shock y'all.

It's like saying caddo mills best #1 team from that district..wills point..the whole rusk dist was weak...
Lmao ok. Again read what I typed and comprehend or do I need to draw you a picture? Regardless of who you are winning a playoff game is an accomplishment because you move onto the next round. It is obviously not the goal. It is also clearly obvious you are trying to stir stuff up by comparing and putting down other teams. All I saw last week was how Rusk and Jasper were gonna beat Melissa and Celina because of the athletes those teams were far more superior. Well Rusk and Jasper with all those athletes are dribbling and shooting baskets now. I hope the players and coaches at Gilmer and Pleasant Grove think as highly about Melissa and Celina as a lot of the fans do from these towns.
By the way there are some really great Gilmer fans that have been around a long time on here who are humble and support the Buckeyes without being arrogant. Some of you should take notice and learn.

I'm pretty sure winning a playoff game is an accomplishment. It's not the goal, but accomplishment yes.

Gilmer. Melissa’s schedule is suspect. I know Melissa has improved this year, but they would have to improve a Lot since they lost to Gilmer last year 55-6. One common opponent this year was Argyle Liberty Christian:
Melissa lost 21-7
Gilmer won 60-7
Could be a shootout, but just don’t think Melissa can handle Gilmer’s offense.
Not the same Melissa team even from the start of the year. We have a ton of young guys and first year varsity guys and they have grown up a lot. A month and a half ago, I would have said Gilmer beats us bad, but these kids have grown up so much and have turned the corner. Will it be enough to knock off the vaunted Poison nut will see, but Gilmer better bring it because I assure Melissa will.

Is there anyone else on here that is bashing Melissa? I guess I missed it.
No bashing, but not many people on this site thought we could beat Rusk including most If not all Gilmer fans on here. Then you got some retards on the fox app from Gilmer declaring a blowout more or less.
-
Well let the hating begin on how Melissa has no chance and Gilmer has owned Melissa blah, blah. Gilmer will be the favorite going into this game it should be epic.

Crazy to think before 2000 Celina was 2a which technically would be 3a now, just shows how much they are growing
Heck Melissa didn't have a high school until 2004 and they were 2a and now has passed Celina number wise for the short term.
-
Rusk was very good and lots of speed. I was impressed with how hard they played. I was also impressed with the oline they did very good blocking.

U obviously were not at the game. If so you would have seen how we scored half our td and converted 4th downs for first downs. U a fair weather fan that goes to a couple home games each year then use what other people say then come to forum and make it seem like you have extensive knowledge about the season.
Bro don't be so bitter.I know y'all scored on some passing plays, but not enough obviously. Jaspers passing game is not good because that's not what y'all do. I'm not knocking Jasper.

Now, I don't give a damn what anyone that wasn't at the game today has to say what so ever because anyone that was there (and I am only gonna talk about one of the blatant calls those idiots made)saw a game changing kinda call. Down 35 to 20 with a little over 4 minutes in game the Dawgs score to make it 35-27. They then execute the perfect onside kick (by the way was kicked to Celina's side of the field and the side that Reese Durand recovered the kick)recovering the ball on Celina 30 yard line. After one official signals jasper ball and players are coming on the field the line ref threw a flag for offside. It is an endless argument on if the Dawgs would have scored again or not but they had changed the momentum at that point. Jasper did have one other chance to score in game and I give credit to celina defense for holding. It's just a damn shame for any team after all those young men put into playing football starting in the blazing heat of summer (two a days) for officials to be or possibly be a factor in the game results.
Best team won. Jasper had a good season and team, but gotta be able to pass the ball.

It's game day boys and girls safe, travels to all.

Lol I do it just to mess with you buddy. I mean, both teams could be. I'm just giving my honest opinion. Melissa beats Rusk, and my opinion will sway. I'm just not a believer when it comes to that district and that side of the bracket. Can you really blame me?
No lol, I'm just jacking around also. This week is dragging and emotions tend to flare up lol.

No I really think it's going to be the easiest team Gilmer has played. Look at Gilmer's schedule lol. Even LC was supposed to be good. I went to that game, and Gilmer played super sloppy on offense, and still hung 60 on a LC team that had just beat THE GREAT MELISSA and Celina.
Why do you have to be sarcastic? Like seriously do you not believe that teams can get a lot better of the course of the football season? Maybe Caddo Mills and Melissa are better than you think or would dare give them credit for. Melissa has so many kids that had NO varsity experience starting this year.

I'm not sure which starters, but they only had 1 division 1 prospect missing that game (RB). I know, because I went just to see those particular players. LC was supposed to be this talent ridden team. They looked really bad.
Ok cool you are right LC beat Melissa and Gilmer destroyed LC, so we have no chance. Although we are starting numerous sophmores who played their first varsity game against LC including our qb, but I seriously doubt they have gotten any better. I mean our sophmore qb has only thrown for 2600 yards, 800 rushing yards and 32 tds this year. I doubt he has gotten any better along with the other young guys since week 0.

In the same breath, you could make an argument about how both Celina and Melissa lost to LC, who went to Gilmer the week after both, and took a beating they will never forget (I was there). Gilmer played sloppier that game than any other I have seen them in this season (I've seen them 3 times), and they beat LC 60-7.
I'm just saying, I will believe in Melissa a lot more when they beat Rusk. I'm not impressed with Celina either. I don't think they will come within 3 TDs of Jasper. But, one thing is certain, I will be here if I'm wrong to eat my crow.I've said this before and I'll say it again. LC had 7 starters out against Gilmer. You can't have 1 or 2 starters out and beat Gilmer much less 7.

I just can't believe the hype at this point. Melissa floored a Dallas Lincoln team that lost to Ferris. I just can't find much in that to suggest they will be any better than I thought they were. Rusk however, beat a pretty solid Pitt team, handily. Pitt has depth issues, but Pitt has some big, physical players. Their receivers are big bodies, and the QB can move. Should give you an idea of what you're up against. I'm picking Rusk by 10. This will be Melissa's chance to prove to me how good they are.
Let's not forget Melissa beat Celina by 21 and should have been 28. Argyle only beat Celina by 15 and Argyle could not stop Celinas qb from running which Melissa stoned him. Melissa also gave up 0 passing yards to Celina. Not saying this proves anything, but Celina went toe to toe with the #2 team in 4a d1 and only lost by 15 and again Melissa beat Celina by 21.

Yes and it's pretty amazing to see how much bigger they have gotten. I'll have to say Melissa has a great off season program.
