This was an awesome game in 2014.

This is the ending of the 1994 John Tyler / Plano East game. These Plano East announcers were hilarious.

The homerism is one of the great things about high school football. I agree sometimes it gets overboard, especially when broadcasters delve into how bad the referees are screwing their chosen team. But it's great to be able to listen to people who know your kids and know the community.
True, and you get it. Our broadcasters, thankfully, don't go overboard on the penalties very often. The calls and missed calls have to be very obvious for them to dis the refs. Referees are human, and make mistakes, and we can all agree that sometimes they can either miss a call, or make a questionable call. It happens to every team. You just have to learn to play through the calls regardless. Referees are right much more often than they are wrong. That's for sure.

I may just volunteer to be a spotter for Larry. His eyes ain't what they used to be!
He's a WHOLE LOT BETTER than our broadcast team at spotting. Heck, they even know what's happening on the field. They are a good broadcast team, comparatively speaking. With our team, if your not actually watching the game you have absolutely NO idea where the ball is, or even what's going on on the field sometimes. They have NO idea how to spot. They can be several yards off on where the ball is, and they just throw a number out there for yards on gains, losses, punts, etc., and even the line of scrimmage can be off by a few yards, and they don't even correct themselves when they are off. That's just sad. They are also a bit too homer, which I don't have a problem with, but sometimes they holler so loud when something good happens that you can't understand them, and that pushes the homerism way overboard. I understand that these guys are all volunteers, so I shouldn't complain, but toning it down a bit, and understanding how important spotting is would make it a lot more tolerable.

It doesn't bother me that Coach Purcell never won a state title as a head coach. He was the ONLY one on the state championship broadcast team who picked Gilmer over Bellville. He must know something the others are clueless about...

I should have bought a ring every time Carthage won. Maybe I could get a TV gig...
Heck, you would have to spend quite a bit of money for all those rings. Carthage has its own TV broadcast team. You could always help them out.

Polls don't mean didly squat anyway. I would rather be "ranked" last and win a state championship, than to be ranked first and not win a championship.

i really thought in 2007 gilmer would of done better,gilmer was a pass first team then and it didnt help the week before our quarter back broke his finger and the 30mph winds would of take our offense out of the game,and our defense didnt have a answer
Yep, and I almost froze to death. It was in the upper 20s to go along with those 30 mph winds, if memory serves. I thought we were on our way when Justin Johnson ran the opening kickoff for a touchdown to start the game..........., then reality set in.

Gilmer has the pedigree and ability. Bellville is a machine both offensively and defensively.
I forgot how many times the Bucks have been there but thankfully rooting for them mainly because beat that red team in panola county.This will be Gilmer's 9th trip to the championship game.
Looking at the stats that Bellville's put up, it looks a little daunting. I'm not really sure what to expect. I feel like our coaches will have us ready. We will need to establish an offensive rhythm early, and get a few stops for sure.
Just for good measure, I'm bringing some more of the tinkers dang hex with me.
Go Buckeyes!

How many games has Gilmer not had a turnover this year? I think that’s a given. At least one anyway. They can still play through that assuming the defense continues to improve and the changes made on the backend for Carthage game continue this week. I think this game will be like the Carthage vs Glen Rose game last year. It will be a good one. Rooting for the Bux to get it done.
Gilmer went six straight games without a turnover this year, if memory serves. But, yes, the Buckeyes will fare much better if they don't turn the ball over, obviously. We have been able to overcome them thus far in the playoffs, but we also need to cause turnovers, and get some stops defensively. Offensively, we need to be on point, and get into a rhythm early. There's no doubt we can do that. Will we? We'll see. Someone said the QB doesn't run, therefore is not a dual threat. That's hogwash. He is fully capable of taking off. We will definitely have to contain him, keep him in the pocket, apply pressure, and have a spy that can keep him from taking off. The spy must be a really good tackler.
Well, I am going to have to bring the tinkers dang hex with me again this week. This batch certainly looks promising.
Go Buckeyes!

I mean we not gonna compare our loss to PG to losing to a 3a grandview. Now yes I know they have improved and has made it to the 4th round so can’t be taken lightly. I just think we are battled tested and will be ready for anything they throw at us, now can they say the same?
Speed wise, no. Glen Rose hasn't seen the kind of speed Gilmer has. I don't think any team has, but the Tigers play fundamentally sound football, and are extra good with the x's and o's by their coaching staff. The Buckeyes CANNOT afford any kind of a letdown because Glen Rose will definitely take advantage. Glen Rose reminds me a little like Sunnyvale and Aubrey. We struggled against those teams, but had just enough fire to get the job done. The Buckeyes need to set the tone early, or it could be a struggle. If Gilmer plays lights out, they win going away. Otherwise, it will be a struggle throughout.
Go Buckeyes!

Now the Carthage fans know why I said I hope they beat the brakes off PG. Carthage fans at least know how to act when they win..., or even when they lose (a rare thing I'm told...LOL!). I'll just leave it at that.

Sorry. It's December and no more Bulldog football on friday nights. I'm feeling sort of lost here. Kind of uncharted territory.
I would imagine! Y'all are definitely not used to not having a game this week.

Well Gilmer does GR have a dual threat QB?
Yes, their quarterback is a dual threat. He can beat you with his feet and his arm, though he throws it around more than he runs. Their offense looks quite a bit like ours. Their defense is not too shabby, either. We will have our hands full. It's really hard to gauge just how good a team is when they don't play teams outside their region. I'm pretty sure they haven't seen speed like they will when we face them, but sometimes speed can be nullified to a certain extent.
I am confident that we can win, but we better play our best, and not have any kind of letdown after the Carthage win.

I'm filing complaint with UIL against Gilmer for just being too dang good friday night. Nobody scores 47 on the Dawgs Defense! Nobody! Something smellls fishy! Cheaters!
LOL! I didn't think that would happen, either. I voted for us to win, against the odds for sure, but I didn't expected the game to get past the 35-38 point threshold for either team. Our offense played lights out, and our defense, especially our secondary, played outstanding, especially considering that Jett had all the time in the world to pick up apart.
I was definitely disappointed that Tennison didn't slide down before scoring the touchdown at the end of regulation. The coaches definitely should've planted it in his brain to not score after getting the first down in regulation. Caden needs to be a little more heady with his situational awareness. He takes sacks often when he should just throw the ball away, and that has happened all year. I don't understand why the coaches are not drilling situational awareness in his head. He is one heck of a player, though, and threw several dimes on the night, made yards rushing when protection broke down, and when his number was called.
All that matters in the end is getting the win, and we did.

I won't be confident we can beat Carthage until we do. Our coaching staff has to be able to get our guys prepared and coached up in a game against Surratt, Preston, and company. What works on other teams won't work on Carthage. Our coaches have to break through and mix things up, adjust on the fly, and make a little magic happen. Our talent is fully capable to give Carthage a good, competitive game. We just have to be able to do the aforementioned, and break through with a win.
We're bringing the tinkers' dang hex with us tonight, so be prepared to see something you haven't seen in a long while.
Go Buckeyes!

not really on here much but on Facebook some folks claiming to be from Gilmer go a little nuts with the accusations. Some sounds downright obsessed.
Every town has "those" people. No delusions here on our part. We know what we are up against.

You can’t say that he gets delusional. He thinks Carthage not only wins 5a but has a chance in the college playoff.
I heard that Surratt contacted Nick Saban and asked if they would be interested in playing them. Nick said, "No way!"

I would love to see next years Dawgs go up against Aledo, China Spring, and Texas High.
I don’t want a Longview versus Dawgs game. It does not help either team in any way.Neither would a game with Aledo. Most years, Carthage wouldn't be able to keep it close, much less win.

Do we really?
No, we don't. There are some rookie posters on here that have no idea what they are talking about. A call, or two, or three may go against you, but we know you just have to play through it. I just hope it doesn't come down to that. I hope the refs just let the young men play, and not interfere with penalties. Most of Gilmer's games this year have exceeded 3 hours, at least three lasted 3-1/2 hours because of flag happy refs.

But the missing teeth applies to all of us so…
Haha..., just remember, I work in Kilgore, know some folks in Carthage, and live in Gilmer..., so I can tell you that absolutely applies to all of us...
Just go to either of our Walmarts.

North Lamar Head Coach Resigns
in High School Sports
Posted
I'm pretty sure NL will be fighting to stay out of cellar of the district, and Pittsburg will be fighting to make the playoffs. Gilmer, Van, and PG are going to be the top 3. That 4th spot will be up for grabs.
