I can think of at least three assistants who not only tried to come back after leaving, but did come back. One of those is still on the staff.

Also lose Davion Wallace, a 2-year starter at center. Does the kicker graduate?

CHS had now won 97 of its last 100 games. Or, if you prefer, 101 of its last 105.

Maybe coaches should include in the group that goes to midfield for the coin toss the senior team member who ranks highest academically in the class. Designate him as the spokesman for the group.

Of the 20 Texas high school football teams playing for state championships in 11-man football this week, only 2A Mart (57.0) has averaged scoring more points per game than Carthage (48.3).

Just checked this thread to see what has been discussed today, which is only 3 days before the biggest game of the year. Surprised to see that Liberty Hill is today’s topic. That’s a team that Carthage last played 4 years ago. I saw a photo on Twitter last weekend of Gunner Capps, the Bulldogs’ QB in that game, in his cap and gown after graduating from Sam Houston. He has gone through college since Liberty Hill and Carthage last played. Can’t something more relevant be discussed - something that will elicit responses from knowledgeable posters (e.g., Cotton and Panther)?

This should also be posted on the Carthage-Glen Rose thread.

The references to China Spring reminds me that their QB this year was a move-in from…Wimberley.

I surely hope your prediction of less than 250 yards for Wimberley this week is more accurate than last week’s was…lol

#73, Johnny Lewis, also started last year as a sophomore. Watching him on the sidelines Friday night, I would guess he is doubtful for this week…but I’m no expert in this area.

Coach Surratt also indicated how proud he is of the character displayed by his players, saying that character is revealed when the team is behind, not when they’re 40 points ahead.

He carried it that way every time he ran with the ball against Gilmer.

This answers my question about the reason #15, KD Bell, played offense instead of defense last night. #65, Zane Schumacher, played quite a bit at TE last week against PG with Bell not dressing out due to injury. Schumacher put #85 over his regular jersey and joined #82, Ricky Smith, as the 2nd TE in certain sets. Since Schumacher was needed at RG last night to replace the injured #73, Johnny Lewis, Bell was needed more at TE to join Smith in the CHS double TE sets.

CHS had to score a TD on the final play of regulation (and then kick a pressure-packed extra point) to even get to OT in the MH game. The CS game went 3 OTs. CS missed what would have been a game-winning field goal at the end of 1 of the 1st 2 OT periods. And a Bulldog RB - now playing in the NFL - uncharacteristically lost multiple fumbles that afternoon. BUT…CHS is 4-0 at this venue, including 3 state semifinal games.

#3, Jakerrian Roquemore, has been a starting safety this season and last. He was also the 4th WR when CHS employed 4-wideout formations. In this role, he came into the 15th game of the season with 170 receiving yards. In last night’s game alone, he exceeded that with 173 yards. Championship teams require players to step up in big games. With Montrel Hatten out with an injury, #3 stepped up big-time.

I’m not sure which of the two was better. I bet there are a lot of opinions on that out there.

If I didn’t live 200 miles away, I certainly would do that! And would likely sit next to your father-in-law.

#3’s brother, who is now a scholarship baseball player in college, started a game or 2 at QB last year before switching to WR.

#15 KD Bell seemed to play a lot of offense tonight, but no defense. I would have thought if he was able to go tonight, which he was, that it would be on defense rather than offense. Any ideas why he played no defense tonight?

Timely fumbles by the opponents late, neither caused by the Bulldogs, saved them. Of course, in both cases, Coach Surratt’s offense had to take advantage with not much time left…and they did!

After seeing last week’s game against PG - and with Hatten possibly not playing - they’ll probably opt for making CHS go over the top.

I knew it was too early to get up…I’ve mistakenly gotten on the Brock-Malakoff thread instead of the Carthage-Glen Rose thread…lol

Zane Schumacher has been named to the THSCA Academic All-State Elite Team for Fall Sports. The Elite Team is higher than the First Team. LB Viencint Cabada and PK Omar Medrano were named to the 2nd Team. O-linemen Davion Wallace and Jeremy Privett were named Honorable Mention.

Does this assume Hatten and Bell play or watch?

Yes
