I did at 9:51 Monday night. What a competitor he was! Threw 6 TD passes in the 2010 state championship win over Coldspring.

Any news to report from Coach Surratt’s Chalk Talk today?

Joe played TE as a sophomore and junior. QB those years was Larry Brown, who played at Arkansas.

How about James Street in the 60s (starting QB for the national champion Texas Longhorns under Darrell Royal) or Jeb Blount in the early 70s (played at Tulsa and in the NFL)?

Could also make arguments for David East in the early 60s (started at Tulane, the same school Kai Horton now plays for), Audrey McMillian in the late 70s (QB & DB at UH, All-Pro DB for Houston Oilers & Minnesota Vikings), Joey Blissett in 90 & 91 (24-2 at CHS), Anthony Morgan in 2008-2010 (started on 3 state championship teams, was QB on 2 of them), Blake Bogenschutz in 2011-2013 (3-year starter, one year for a state-semifinalist and one year for a state champion, was a starter and team captain at UTSA as a redshirt freshman before having to give up the sport due to concussions), and Connor Cuff, last year’s star (currently playing baseball for the Ragin’ Cajuns in Lafayette, LA).

I’m so glad this child is okay. Perhaps league officials should consider doing away with kickoff returns for 9, 10, and 11 year olds. That is the most dangerous play in football.

The two starting outside linebackers are both sophomores, so they indeed can be expected to get better and better. And both have good size.

I don’t know about those two, but #70 has certainly stepped up his game.

I agree. They have improved and can be a playoff team with the same type of effort as shown last night. I was also impressed with their crowd support and the atmosphere at last night’s game. Best of luck to the Panthers. Edwards had a great game for CHS. And he couldn’t do it without the O-line, which seems to be adjusting well to the change in personnel necessitated by an injury. Greatness is attainable for the D, but foolish penalties need to be eliminated in order to get there.

Lost the week before to Henderson (Ebner & Van Zandt)

That was the last regular-season loss. Have lost to Liberty Hill and China Spring in the playoffs since then.

IF we see any QB draws this season, it won’t be for at least another month!

The first sentence of your second paragraph could be the subject of a separate thread, but it would just be a rehashing of threads from late November or December from all but one of recent years past. It’s now probably time for this thread to die.

You called that one!

I am absolutely not interested in any further comparison of Longview to Carthage, but I don’t understand the sentence above. Although it’s true that LHS runs a system that is not overly complicated, I don’t believe this should be included as a factor in their consistent and tremendous success under Coach King. It seems to me that Coach Surratt at Carthage has proven that high schoolers - including East Texas high schoolers - can succeed using complex systems.
