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?

Yup. San Benito is 5hrs south/southwest of Houston.
Yep, San Benito is further from Houston than is Carthage.

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?

The good news is tennison didn't want to play quarterback last year and is very happy now he can play defense full time
This is hard to figure. Tennison appeared to this Carthage fan to be an outstanding high school QB last December in the regional championship game. Not very many kids who can play that position that well don’t want to play it. I would guess he’s looking ahead to college ball, but he should enjoy his senior year of high school football IMHO. There will be plenty of time for college football later.

What years were Gilmer in the SC game with Metzel? I thought this was his only appearance as a HC?
Lost in 2020 & 2021 to Carthage & China Spring, respectively.

#1 for Gilmer best individual performance I've witnessed in a while.
I'm not sure about week in and week out but today he looked like the best back in 4a.
He was definitely the X factor.
I repeat: is he a junior (as indicated in today’s telecast) or a senior (as shown in the program for last week’s Glen Rose game)?

That redzone turnover by Bellville looms huge, settling for a FG likely the difference here
Would they have been able to kick a field goal? They missed one of their extra point attempts.

Congratulations to the Buckeyes. Have done a great job of turning things around since losing to Pleasant Grove. Best of luck next week against another team that has turned things around after a tough start.
I’m sure this loss will provide plenty of incentive to the young players from Carthage as they work to start yet another long winning streak. The last 3 losses by this program were followed by winning streaks of 40 (2016-2018), 41 (2019-2021), and 29 (2022-2023). So it can be done…get your heads up and go back to work, Bulldogs. You have many fans who look forward to watching you go after it with all you’ve got.

We don’t really know the answer to that statement because PG chose to run their QB 35 times vs letting their two RB’s have the ball. #1 McFadden picked up a TCU offer this week after TAMU hired the Duke Coach.
What were the PG QB’s rushing stats last week?

And I thought Carthage had a couple of sophomore linemen starting, Am I wrong on that?
Sophomores start at QB & RB. The backup RB (with a senior out again with an injury) who scored the winning TD last week is a sophomore, as is a TE/receiver who has been a big contributor while playing in certain packages. One of the 2 sophomores who start at OLB also plays some offense as a TE/receiver in some packages. The other starting sophomore OLB is either the leading or 2nd leading tackler on the team. Two sophomores also start in the secondary. In addition, a talented sophomore WR has missed most of the season with an injury.
Other sophomores are backups who have gotten limited action before games became blowouts and a great deal more time after games became decided.

Kilgore @ Carthage 8/30
in High School Sports
Posted
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).
