  1. This was just ONE GAME! It doesn't matter if a team loses by 1 point or 50 points, it's just one game! All the Tatum fans and players need not give up. IMO, the biggest thing for Tatum was conditioning. They just PLAIN got TIRED and getting behind just compounded that problem. Losing big IS a hard pill to swallow but it needs to be kept in perspective. After all, they did lose to a better team. I think the Eagles will be just fine if they heed this wake-up call. Fortunately, they won't be meeting anybody with the size and depth of Gilmer again this year. Like I said before, GO TATUM, WIN STATE! I know I'm speaking for Buckeye fans everywhere when I say we're pulling for ya'.
  2. Our prayers are with you from Gilmer. Just goes to show nobody knows when they will be called home. God will surely welcome him into heaven with open arms.
  3. IMO Huntsville takes this one by a bunch. Huntsville 44 Henderson 21
  4. Eustace takes this one over Grand Saline by 12. Eustace 27 Grand Saline 13
  5. IMO Troup takes this one easily. I just don't think White Oak has the athletes to run with a good Troup team. Troup is a better team than they showed last week, even though they won. White Oak got hammered by Winnsboro and I think the Tigers are better than that Winnsboro team. Troup 55 White Oak 20
  6. Just 7 more hours till kickoff! I can't wait! "Clash of the Titans II" It's a shame one of these teams will take a loss. It oughta be a good 'un! Go Buckeyes! Remember DASH! Go Eagles,......after tonight!
  7. IMO Van will win this one relatively easily. Van 41 Rusk 13 With the way Rusk's defense played last week, I don't see them being able to stop the Calhoun Express.
  8. IMO Pine Tree will win this one. I think Pine Tree is an up-and-comer that will surprise some people this year. Pine Tree 35 Pleasant Grove 19
  9. IMO West Rusk wins this one by 16. West Rusk 36 Overton 20
  10. You may see a few yellow flags........this early in the season. But I can tell you FOR SURE you will NOT see a white flag!! And you'll probably see more blackflag than you're used to, or want to! The blackflag is going to wave proudly once again! The P.R.I.D.E. is back! GO BUCKEYES! Remember the DASH!
  11. I'll have to give the nod to Chapel Hill in this one. Chapel Hill 26 Westwood 21
  12. I think this game is a toss-up. Is this Mt. Pleasant's first game this year? Kilgore will definitely be trying to get that first win after a sub par performance last week, albeit against a very good 3A squad in Crockett. This game would surprise me if either team wins by more than 13. My brain tells me Mt. Pleasant, but my gut (for some unknown reason) tells me Kilgore. I'll have to go with my gut. Kilgore 23 Mt. Pleasant 20
  13. I still think Gladewater will pull it together. They ran into a MUCH improved Pirate team last week, probably the most improved 4A team in East Texas. I'll pick Gladewater in this one by 4. Gladewater 26 Rains 22
  14. I'll have to go with Longview in this one. I can't see Marshall faring any better against a MUCH better team than they played in week one. The only thing that MIGHT keep this one respectable would be that this is a storied rivalry and brings out the best in their players, but it's big for Longview, too. Longview 48 Marshall 26
  15. I think all the Leopards have to do is win the next one to get over the heartbreaking loss to North Lamar. I think that first win will be ALOT easier this week. All Liberty-Eylau has to do is improve week to week and they'll be in the playoffs where anything can happen. Rankings don't mean diddly, just look at last year. Ranked third when the year started, not even in the top ten when the season ended, and still won a state championship. Sound familiar? The talent is there, but y'all did lose a big-time leader with alot of heart in Middlebrooks. By the way, the game with Center could get ugly. Liberty-Eylau 58 Center 18
  16. This should be a good matchup. Both have good teams. I'd have to give the edge to Winnsboro in this one due to the home field advantage. If it were played elsewhere, I might have to go with Hughes Springs. Winnsboro 33 Hughes Springs 27
  17. If this game were played anywhere else other than Daingerfield, I would say Spring Hill. I think playing in Daingerfield will be the difference in this one. Daingerfield 30 Spring Hill 28
  18. I think Frankston takes this one by 18. Frankston 32 Grace 14
  19. I think Sabine is much improved this year, especially defensively. I also think Jefferson is down a little this year. But, I still I have to give Jefferson the edge in this one. Jefferson 20 Sabine 19 By the way, I think Jefferson lost to a good Pittsburg team last week. They could be the sleeper in that district (16AAA). I think they will make the playoffs.
  20. Linden-Kildare takes this one easily. What's the deal over there in Ore City? They sure have been down a while. Linden-Kildare 48 Ore City 8
  21. I think this will be a tight game. Van wasn't really tested against Grand Saline. Lindale played a stronger team in Spring Hill. I think Jermie Calhoun gets his 100+ yards in this one, but barely. Van 28 Lindale 21
  22. I don't see Union Grove putting up much of a contest with Elysian Fields. The Yellowjackets will beat the Lions easily in this one. Elysian Fields 55 Union Grove 20
  23. This will be no contest! Brownsboro wins easily! Brownsboro 51 Mt. Vernon 13
  24. I don't think anyone from Gilmer thinks it'll be easy! Oh, Contrare! Anyone who has seen these two teams play knows that it always comes down to who makes the fewest mistakes, i.e. turnovers, penalties, etc., and plays better defensively. This year looks to be another barn-burner of a game! I must say that I WAS impressed by the blackflag defense the other night against Richwood. I just hope they bring that same intensity to the Tatum game! The offense made alot of mistakes, but that's to be expected in the first game with a new QB. I know the QB will get more and more comfortable as the season progresses and those mistakes will be fewer and fewer between. All the Gilmer people have a lot of respect and admiration for the Tatum people and its program and wish y'all the best for the season......after Thursday night, of course! GO EAGLES! WIN STATE! 3-PEAT! GO BUCKEYES! REMEMBER DASH!
  25. In East Texas, I don't think there is that big a difference in the 3A to 4A talent levels (at least when comparing to the better 3A teams), but I do think depth can make a difference. I will have to go with Hallsville in this one. It should be a close one, though. Hallsville 30 Atlanta 22 I would love to see the Rabbits make a liar out of me!
