I understand this game will be played in Mount Pleasant on Friday night. Is the kick-off time known yet?

Was a tease.
Actually, “7-0” is what showed as the halftime score on the Friday Night Lights app.
And I couldn’t confirm using this thread because there wasn’t a single post about the 1st half here.

poor livingston kilgore's backups should get some playoff playing time.
Kilgore up 7-0 at the half.
Is Livingston not who you thought they were?

CHS used 8 different RBs against L-E. I don’t think I’ve seen that many RBs get carries for one team in a high school game since John Tyler many years ago.

Don't think it's supposed to be thunderstorms, just a good rain. Worst of it is supposed to be later tonight. Should be fine. Football is meant to be played in the elements.
Yes, in the elements…and on artificial turf.

What are the chances this game gets moved to Friday or Saturday?
I would guess slim to none. Stadium availability is a big issue for the 1st round games, and Pine Tree’s stadium is already booked for a 3A game tomorrow night. Also, Coach Surratt doesn’t like playing on Saturdays.
Under Coach Surratt, CHS has played in many playoff games in which the weather was worse than tonight’s is predicted to be.

I'm concerned about the psychological aspect of whether or not Spring Hill can come back after after having 70 points scored on them last week, and close to 60 the week before that! Van is a tough team and will dominate this game early if our defense doesn't get better! I hope we can win this game and move on, but we'll see!
There’s hope. Center gave up a combined 128 points during a two-game stretch last month and came back to beat Bullard the next week. (As you may recall, Bullard is the same team that last week upset Van.)
-
What happened to Van last week against Bullard? Were there injuries to some Vandals which increase the chance of an upset in this one? If so, what is the probability of an upset this week by surprising Spring Hill?
-
Carthage is a prohibitive favorite in this one. After all, among the teams the Leopards lost to this year were Henderson, which proceeded to lose their next 8 games, and Spring Hill (sorry, PantherNation2015).
However, L-E apparently was plagued by injuries most of the season. And they seem to have played their best football of the season in their past 3 games - 2 wins and a loss to undefeated Pleasant Grove in which they were driving for a tying touchdown with only 5 minutes left in the game.
L-E always seems to have some good athletes. I’m sure that is true again this year, even though they have apparently lost some who transferred to Pleasant Grove.
CHS needs to play at a high level. It’s now single elimination and turnovers and penalties must be minimized in order to prevent an unwanted result.
As I’m confident Coach Surratt and staff will have the Bulldogs ready to play, I pick them to advance with a 35-point win this Thursday.

I went to Carthage Vs Pittsburg last year.. lesson learned. Don’t go to Carthage 1st round game.
Coach Surratt’s record in bidistrict games is 16-0.

L-E is 3-6 for the season, with 2 of the 3 wins coming in the last 2 weeks.
They average scoring 25 points a game and allowing 31 points a game.
Lost to Henderson (2-8) 14-28; Henderson won only this game and their finale against Jacksonville;
Lost to Paris (4-6) 0-30; Paris finished 3rd in their 4A, Div. 1 district;
Won over Atlanta (5-5) 36-14; Atlanta finished 4th in their 3A, Div. 1 district;
Lost to Sulphur Springs (8-2) 34-52; Sulphur Springs finished 2nd in their 4A, Div. 1 district;
Lost to Spring Hill (4-6) 28-34; with this win, Spring Hill finished 3rd in the district and meets Van instead of Carthage in bidistrict;
Lost to Gilmer (7-3) 12-56; Gilmer was the district runner-up;
Lost to Pleasant Grove (10-0) 27-42; PG was the district champion;
Won over Pittsburg (2-7) 33-21; Pittsburg didn’t win a district game;
Won over North Lamar (5-5) 42-0; the regular-season finale determined the last playoff spot from the district.

Mt Pleasant is probably the best central location between the three. Marshall could work if LE wins.
I recall going to Longview to see Carthage and L-E meet in a playoff game a few years ago. (Carthage won.)

Carthage 788
If I correctly read the DCTF magazine that I bought this past summer, it was 800 last time (2 years ago).

That was two playoff-bound and playoff-worthy teams going at it last night in Bulldog Stadium.
Van had a great plan. They had 9 first downs on their first 2 possessions of the game, which ate up all but 2 minutes of the first half. That resulted in Carthage having to hurry to score its second touchdown of the game, taking the lead 14-7 with 6 seconds to go in the half. It’s hard to score when you don’t have the ball.The Bulldogs did exactly what they.needed to do after the break, stopping the Vandals on their first possession and then taking the ball and scoring on a drive that was all on the ground. The tide was turned.
I expect to see a rematch of these two teams in early December. I don’t expect to be able to comfortably wear short pants as I did last night.

Van’s offensive line may be the best that Carthage sees all year - in my opinion they are a little better than Kilgore since this is week 10 and Kilgore was week 1…..and Van’s line is better than P G
So, in answer to your question - yes………should they - no.
Thanks.
Sounds like a good test for Carthage. I suspect Coach Surratt will have them ready for it.

If Carthage’s big guys come to play on defense, Van probably won’t score on the first unit.
If Carthage’s big guys on defense are just going thru the motions, this might be a close game.Do I correctly understand that you believe in the latter case that Van could score as many points Friday against CHS as did Center last week?
-
The defending state champion Bulldogs are 9-0 and have won 106 of their past 108 games (including playoffs). The 7-1 Vandals’ best hope for an upset win probably lies in their defense, which has only been giving up an average of about 3 TDS per game (just over 12 points a game in district play).
I see a a CHS win of around 35-14. How do you see it?
-
Did Colt Hodges (#70) play defense last night, or only offense?

I missed Carthage’s 2-point conversion after their 1st TD?. How did they do it?
