Week 2. Van vs Chapel Hill 7:30 Bulldog stadium
CSMike replied to Chill5000's topic in High School Sports
CS has defense issues. TCH has defense issues as evidenced by Gilmer - Kilgore score. Gilmer's offense is not unstoppable. TCH still has to figure those issues out if they want past the semis. But TCH has no issues scoring whereas CS does occasionally. CS has to find a way to plug the middle (big NT graduated) and find one more solid DB. Otherwise they could exit by thanksgiving. TCH might be your true number 1 in a shootout right now. All that said. No one in 4A is anything close to Melissa this year. That offensive line is better than the Boerne one that put CS in a 21-0 hole. That team has 8 power 5 recruits. Not just D1 recruits. Power 5 recruits. -
My China Spring cougars have a lot of work to do. . .

They beat Lorena by 18 last year and eventually won state. Lorena finished 7-4. But we'll get a better measure with how they do vs. Melissa. Melissa returns 9 offensive starters. CS only 5 on defense. That's what got Argyle. Only 4 defensive starters returned. My prediction is Melissa wins 45-24. I can live with that. CS still has a good shot to win state with that result. If they lose by more than 24 I will have a hard time being optimistic.

One of the best WR's from last year is out for most of if not all the season with a broken foot? maybe not sure it's a leg / foot injury. The other best WR graduated. The 4 star RB graduated. Anna looked solid vs. Decatur but definitely not as fast as last year on offense at WR.....insanely faster at QB. Defense is playing better.
-
True but the depth looked real good in the secondary when the backups took it to Lorena's starters despite little to no QB pressure. Backups shut down a 4 star WR.
-
Anna - Defense hitting harder Offense - QB is better at the mid game and running, considerably worse at the long throws. Overthrows, INT's, complete whiffs....but if he figures out the deep ball, that offense rivals TCH. If he doesn't expect everyone and their mom to cheat up.
-
I didn't put Celina on here because Paris is not a good football team. They were 2-8 last season so we know nothing about Celina from that game.
-
True but I've seen TCH put up points. I have yet to see them stop anyone. That's the only way they will get over the hump. It's early, I'm just saying it wasn't impressive week 1. They have time to improve though. Long season.

If you had to pick one of the following 4A D1 programs as the most impressive performance for week 1, who would it be? and what did you like about them? #1 China Spring 35-13 Over 3A D1 #6 Lorena #8 Anna 37-30 over #5 Decatur Oddly unranked Brownwood 35 - 21 over 5A Abilene Wylie (Brownwood coming off of a 3rd round playoff exit and Wylie off a 4th round playoff exit in 5A) TCH 71 - 53 over 4A D2 #5 Gilmer For me most impressive to least performance week 1 is: 1. Brownwood 2. Anna 3. China Spring 4. TCH TCH's defense is concerning that's why I put them last. I was hoping for some improvement. If they try to outscore everyone it will be another semi-final exit.

So is there anybody in4A-D2 that can beat Carthage this year ?

CS is undefeated at Jerry World and Kyle Field. No further questions. -

Same to the Dawgs. We've got a fun thing going at CS right now. We hope to keep it going. Sustained success at Carthage is incredible. We hope to do the same. -

When China Spring was down 21-0 in the state title game, the carthage folks next to me said CS fell off from last year. I told the desoto fans when it was 21-7 that we were going to win the game. When I tell you that Boerne O-line was absurdly strong I mean it. Yes Boerne had a fluke play for a TD, but I'm telling you Carthage might win but with that O-line Carthage would be having issues as well. Boerne has 25% more students than CS and 33% more than Carthage. That's 300 more students or 150 more boys to choose from than CS and 400 more students (or 200 more boys) to choose from as football players than Carthage. Carthage might win but dominate? man...that took a 24 point run to win state. Not sure what Boerne returns but if the OL is 4/5 back? Carthage would get a good game out of em. As far as TCH, I'm sorry but put some respect on Carthage name. -
I think there's something basic af to remember here. CS was hampered by bad snaps all scrimmage. The team isn't bad, the center had an off night. Fix that low snap and it's game on. Those snaps literally changed this scrimmage. Franklin is a fantastic squad. Nothing but respect to them. CS can definitely play with them. Stop acting like snaps aren't fixable. That's why you have scrimmages. To work kinks out. I saw some great plays by Franklin. I saw 3x as many plays gifted to Franklin by a low snap

Revised final rankings 4A D2 (my opinion) 1. China Spring 2. Carthage 3. Gilmer (insert Lorena here if they were 4A) 4. WOS / Celina 6. Pleasant Grove 7. Van 8. Caddo Mills / Cuero 10. Take your pick on this one -

Tre Hafford (heard he’s son of a Jasper great / Baylor WR) he shut 17 down and honestly he’s caught everything we’ve thrown at him. He is likely better than 17 from Gilmer but we didn’t have a passing offense to show it. He scored the long TD vs Carthage -

I had my doubts. Thought it would be a different game but the Carthage fans were right about this one. All CS -

Finally the Gilmer we saw vs Celina shows up with 3 straight penalties CS needs that. No lead safe with that offense.
