JacketSmack

This is Denison's first year to play in SQT's. Our new coach, Chad Rogers, was a proponent of 7 on 7 while he was in Snyder, and has encouraged our players to take part in it. We played poorly in our first effort at Plano West last week, but I hear that we showed a little improvement this week. In all honesty, even our really good teams (like the state semifinalists a few years back) have never fared well in 7 on 7. I think that they are taking it a little more seriously than they did our sand-lot variety we usually played. Did anyone see the Jackets play? I'd just like feedback--- good or bad. After the last two devastating seasons with a 5-15 record, I'm just glad they are playing. We could certainly use the practice, and hopefully the time spent together will help in bonding them as well. Congrats to Longview and Tyler Lee on qualifying!

Sorry about your loss, Wildcats. I was pulling for you. One thing is for sure. Sulphur Springs will be back next year, and the future looks bright. Congrats on a good season and your District Championship!!

Great job by Sherman on both sides of the ball. The defense was great this game as they have been improving each week. I'm with you on not understanding the Whitehouse game plan. Their passing game is what got them to the playoffs, so why change that plan? Sherman had the receivers covered really well all game though! I'm happy for the Cats. Good luck against the Indians next week!

I'm happy for you, Tige9er! Were you able to make the game? Hey, doesn't that make a pick 6 in the last seven games? It sounded like the Cats had ALL phases of the game together in the second half-- most impressive! I'll have to go see the Sherman-Waxahachie game if I can..... the Sherman radio guys are a beating.

The Indians are STRONG this year! One of my worst football memories since I became a Denison fan was the 56-0 loss to Waxahachie in '92 at Texas Stadium. It was HORRIBLE! All of the years following when we had such great teams we never got to play them again to redeem ourselves. UGH!! Good luck tonight to Sherman and Whitehouse!! I hope that you have a great game. It will be a beautiful night for football. Both teams best be careful at Hanby! The TRACK surrounding the field is EXTREMELY SLICK, and we had players injured on it (D.J. Jones against Lincoln just before we had to play Sulphur Springs in '08!!-- YIKES).....not good..... and then another player against Marshall in '09. The opponents lost some players because of it too.

Yes, I see that you have added Gender: Female!! You are SO FUNNY! I think that it is disappointing that any woman would be so crass as you are, but I suppose that it takes all kinds to make up this crazy world. Your name-calling is pathetic, my dear. It doesn't get under the skin. It just makes YOU look ridiculous. Just in this year you have called me and others " clowns, idiots, liars, white trash."....and the list goes on. Wretch? You just make me laugh! !!! I guess this is why they don't love having women on football boards! Sorry guys!

EVER ABUSIVE, aren't you? You are so childish and petty! Actually, I never said that Denison would beat Sherman. I said that one never knows what will happen in a game of that magnitude. I also never said that Royse City would beat Sherman. I have no idea where you get YOUR information, SHSCATTY! Actually, someone on this site said that the Whitehouse defense was improving. ... Perhaps he was wishful thinking?? It was a couple of weeks ago, I think.... It was written about the same time as the post where some guy said that you write like a woman , throwing "witchy" comments, and gossiping at games. DId you happen to read that one? It was hysterical. I suppose that most fans from Whitehouse may wish that they had a defense as strong as their offense! I doubt, however, that they are willing to throw in the towel just because you think it will be an easy victory for Sherman. I hope that Sherman and Whitehouse have a great and exciting game next Friday night. May the best team win.

I have read that the Whitehouse defense has improved late in the season too. Any thoughts?

I grew up in Sherman and graduated from SHS, so I'll definitely be following the Cats through the playoffs. I have many Sherman friends who have traveled the state with us through the years to support the Jackets on several runs at state. We share a fierce rivalry, but we often share family too! Good luck to the Bearcats!

Whenever they were pulled, it was kind..... so was running the clock. It's good to get playing time for the reserves too. It sounds like Kolby Milner had a great night after the move up to 4A. I'm sure it will be great to have him for the playoff run.

I'm sorry to hear about the Whitehouse injuries! Our Jackets had seven starters out for most of the season last year, so I can relate. It's too bad that your players won't be back for the playoffs, but it sounds like you'll be really strong next year! Congrats on making the playoffs. We're gong to try to make it for the Whitehouse - Sherman game. It sounds like it will be an offensive shootout. It should be exciting! Is it set for Hanby?

You're funny! He moved into the district in September. After he won the UIL appeal, I guess he began practice with the team on Friday? It will really be interesting to see where they play him, if they do yet. It's a shame that he missed so much of his senior season. i wish him luck. I remember that at the beginning of the year, Coach Kinne said that the Cats were having problems with the running game. Braylon Mitchell and Eliljah Butler (a transfer from Denison) have started performing much better. Those of you who know the Sherman program can tell me this. Did they just recently move Mitchell from linebacker, or has he always carried the ball for the Cats? Whatever-- He looked VERY impressive against Denison! We had a great little receiver come in from Honey Grove a few years ago, and I remember that his parents told me it was a huge adjustment moving up to 4A. His second year here he played on the State Semifinalist team, but busted out his knee early.... jumping up to CELEBRATE A TOUCHDOWN of all things!! It makes me cringe now every time I see players do that. (Sadly, I haven't seen much celebrating of that sort in Denison this year...as TD's have been hard to come by!! -- That's just a touch of levity through the tears, you know?) We really missed him on the field, but he was a terrific leader for the team all the way! Poor guy; he missed almost all of his senior season too. Have fun in the playoffs! The Jackets are sitting home..... yet again.

That is really good news that Joseph Harvey will be back! He is a great young man and a terrific athlete in so many roles for the Bearcats. J.T. Luper is excellent also and has done a really fine job in Harvey's place.

Anyone have the score?? Anyone have the score??
