He had a sprang ankle before the game.
He was limping the whole game. Hard to throw when you can’t put any zip on the ball. Add in Kilgores blanket covering secondary and relentless D line.
I hope Jett is 100 percent this week.
Carthage rebounds in a big way this week.Panola Watchman sportswriter has written today that Coach Surratt says it would be a miracle if Jett plays this week.

L-E’s scoring average will come way down, and CHS’s will go way up. It will be slightly closer than last year’s bi-district game in the downpour at Pine Tree (CHS 42-0).
CHS 42, L-E 14

Don’t get your QB killed! Priority #1. Quick 3 step drop throws. No 5-7 step drops or play action. It’s going to be tough getting yards between the tackles. Make the big Dawgs up front run sideline to sideline. Then in the 4th run right at them. If that don’t work, take the L and move on.
Of course, the score might already be out of hand by the 4th quarter.

Kilgore played a great defense in Carthage and had a hard time moving the ball, but they have a good QB and running back. Against Carthage they learned by moving the QB out of the pocket, he was money on his throws. That Kilgore defense is going to give the offense plenty of time to figure things out. When they do. They Will something.
Kilgore is the team to beat in my opinion in their district and the region.After seeing their season opener, I’m not sure how good the Kilgore offense is or will be this season. It’s going be difficult for any offense to look very good against this year’s Carthage defense. So the jury is still out on them.
But you’re right, C&C, in your comment about this Kilgore defense. The yards aren’t going to come easy against them…much less the points.
Kilgore should win this one…and maybe all of them this year.

Here is my take as a fan of East TX High School football. Carthage fans are spoiled, period. With all the success comes unrealistic expectations that the first game of the new year will be a continuation of the level of play from the previous December.
As usual, you have hit the nail on the head. Before the current two-game “losing streak” started last December, Carthage was 110-2 in its last 112 games dating back to the loss in Kilgore in October 2016. I guess it’s just human nature for many to lose sight of the 110-4 record over the past 114 games and to concentrate instead on the 0-2 record since last December. It always seems to be “what have you done for me lately?”.

Didn't Carthage connect on several passes on their second TD drive? I recall thinking that Surratt & Co. had it figured out.
According to the Panola Watchman, CHS had 10 completions for 50 yards passing, with 33 of those coming on 2 receptions by #7.

Thinking back to last year, I didn't really know what to think after the Carthage game. I mean, going toe-to-toe with Carthage usually means you're pretty good... but Carthage was so young last year (and us too), I didn't know if it was a "Carthage" Carthage team or an 8-4 "rebuilding" Carthage team. And then the next week we had to kick a last second FG to beat Gilmer 24-23.... a Gilmer team that gave up 71 to Chapel Hill the week before. Still didn't know if we were any good. At the end of the day, Carthage went 13-1 only losing to Gilmer who won a State Championship and Chapel Hill played in a State Championship (and we whipped their butts in week 10). East Texas 4A was pretty good last year.
Interesting, as your posts usually are. But as far as CHS possibly looking at being an 8-4 team after last season’s opener… other than a loss in the playoffs (which of course did happen), one would have been hard pressed to come up with 3 other teams on the schedule that could have possibly beaten Coach Surratt’s young team (even without the 20-20 hindsight we now have).

The D linemen are 3 year starters not 4.
I had to correct that.One of them did play quite a bit as a freshman, although he didn’t start.

Henderson over Carthage…I wonder if that will ever happen again

I wish there was a way they both lose , however Kilgore probably gets the W! Should be a close game!
Season openers are often hard to predict; I certainly don’t know who will win this one. However, I do know that it has been a very long time since Carthage lost a game at home.

Won’t be surprised if a WR has 10+ offers by November.
He will be a junior this season, correct?

Cuff slinging that ball to Paddie and others, oh my gosh.
What we have to remember when talking about Carthage competing in larger classifications is teams like Longview very rarely have a QB like Carthage seems to have every single year.How does this happen? SURRATT.
Sometimes there are very specific circumstances that can drive a team to greatness. Carthage has that in Surratt & Co, while some larger schools just have a bunch of athletes.
Will say it again and don’t really care what people think…….if Longview had Surratt they’d have nine state championships and not us.Shoot, with Longview’s amount of athletes they’d be Aledo of the East just in a larger classification.
The “others” Cuff slung the ball to included Montrel Hatten, who is now at Oregon State.

Carthage has had plenty of speed in the secondary and sometimes very elite speed in the secondary, but there again not every year.
Hicks who was an absolute speed demon went to Oklahoma State on a track scholarship, made La Vega look like they were running in sand.
Even the DeSoto’s, etc don’t have guys who run like Hicks and definitely not every year.
But, I do agree with the gist of what you’re saying.
Last year, our secondary team speed wasn’t great, not bad just not as good as we’ve had before.
Hicks eventually transferred from the Okie State track team to LSU’s.

I dont think Carthage gets top 4 in Districts 5, 10, 11, 13, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27, 29
Assuming this means you think Carthage gets a playoff spot in all of the other 6A districts, that sounds very impressive to me. 22 out of the 32 6A districts is more than 2/3 by my math.

Didn’t their pool play game with Hamshire Fannett go into OT as well
The answer will have to come from someone who knows, but I don’t think OT is used in pool play.

Hamshire Fannett 14...Kilgore 6...Final.....Great job Kilgore especially being your first appearance....just ran out of gas towards the end. The 26-25 OT win the game before burned a lot of whatever fuel they had left in them....overall, great showing and cant wait until August!!
Who was the opponent in the overtime game?

No need to rethink, right now on paper I'd slightly lean to Kilgore's defense
Splitting hairs but Carthage brings back eight starters from a defense that allowed 13.85 ppg a year ago
Kilgore brings back eight starters from a defense that allowed 16.43 ppg a year ago....
Pretty close, but I think Kilgore's competition week in and week out was better last year as well...the one common opponent they played was Giilmer.....Kilgore allowed 23 and Carthage allowed 47...
We’ll all have a chance to see both of them play on the same field in Carthage in Week 1.

Carthage advances by defeating Silsbee 6-5 and 11-0 (5 innings).
Game 1 started yesterday but was suspended due to lightning. There was no scoring in today’s 1-1/2 inning conclusion.-

He was one of the best receivers last season. I hope he plays football.
I don’t think there is much doubt about that!

Soph gives up his only hit with 2 outs in the 7th…….Surratt might try to talk him into baseball only.
Does anyone out there know how many games the sophomore, Cade Ross, pitched in this season and/or how many innings he pitched?

I suspect those who are unfamiliar with CHS RB #22 will no longer be after tomorrow night’s game.
