These stats are also minus the Calhoun game. Season Rushing Total Att - Yds - Y/A - 100+ - TD 434 - 2710 - 6.2 - 9 - 38 Season Avg/Game Rushing Att - Yds - Y/A - 100+ - TD 33 - 208 - 6.2 - 1 - 3 Games Lost - Avg/Game Rushing Att - Yds - Y/A - 100+ - TD 30 - 123 - 4.1 - 1 - 1 Games Won - Avg/Game Rushing Att - Yds - T/A - 100+ - TD 40 - 259 - 6.4 - 1 - 4 Difference between Games Won/Games Lost Avg/Game Rushing Att - Yds - Y/A - 100+ - TD 10 - 136 - 2.4 - 0 - 3 This means that in games that they have won, they have averaged 10 more rush attempts for 136 more yards with 3 more TDs than in games they have lost. Also interesting there have been 9 times where a player rushed for at least 100 yards in a game this season. All 9 of those were one player, Fallon. He's overwhelmingly the workhorse on the ground game, and they do a good job of mixing him into the pass game as well. This tells me that if CH shuts down Fallon, their chances of winning increase substantially.

These stats are minus the Calhoun Game. Season Passing Total Comp - Att - Yds - TD - INT 238 - 393 - 3813 - 43 - 8 Season Avg/Game Passing Comp - Att - Yds - TD - INT 18 - 30 - 293 - 3 - 1 Games Lost - Avg/Game Passing Comp - Att - Yds - TD - INT 19 - 34 - 254 - 2 - 1 Games Won - Avg/Game Passing Comp - Att - Yds - TD - INT 18 - 29 - 305 - 4 - 1 Difference between Games Won/Games Lost Avg/Game Passing Comp - Att - Yds - TD - INT 1 - 5 - 49 - 2 - 0 This means that in games that they have won, they have averaged making 5 less pass attempts and 1 more completion for 49 more yards with 2 more TDs than in games they have lost. This tells me that it's not as much about their completions and yards as their TDs. CH can give up a little in the passing game, as long as they keep them from scoring 3 or more times on pass plays.

The more game film I watch, the more I feel like CH has to shut down the run game priority numero uno. No team has completely shut down Davenport’s passing game, but the teams that have shut down their run game have come away with a W.

Chris is a great guy that has done a lot to give back to CH since he graduated.

It’s hard to implement a bunch of new stuff like that in 1 week.

A lot of big venues only release certain levels/sections at a time. Once those fill, they release additional for sale.

I’ll know more about it later in the week, but so far it looks like they use the quick pass game to set up the run game.

This week marks 15 playoff games over the last 3 years for CH. That’s an extra season and a half of football that these young men have played. Pretty incredible.

Curious what the cutoff number will be.

I’ve never been in McLane. Excited for these young men!

McLane stadium is in Waco just in case there was confusion on that.

Bussey and bears get it done.

On defense Davenport relies on their mlb to do be their bread winner. He has 137 tackles on the year and the next closest player has 57 less than that. He also leads the team in sacks, tied for the lead in fumble recoveries and forced fumbles, and even when he isn’t in on the play, he’s causing problems. He’s good, but he’s one man. CH has to figure out ways to take him out of the play or give him extra attention in the blocking schemes.

I just don’t see Davenport’s O-line being able to control the CH front 7. In the 3 games Davenport has lost, there passing offense looked average to any other night, no real drop off, but their running game in all 3 losses was way down. If CH holds them to less than 150yds rushing, Ch wins the game. Davenport has only one kid that’s achieved a 100yd game this season. He’s their work horse and it’s a big drop off from him to the next best runner. They have 2 WR that consistently make plays. But combined they have 22 TDs on the year. Their RB has 25. Shut Fallon down and you win the game.

Exactly, you just want to get home as quick as you can and forget the whole thing for a while, but you can’t forget it. You keep replaying that one assignment you missed or tackle you missed or catch you dropped or bad read. You replay those negative plays over and over and over in your mind. You don’t sleep at night because of it. After a few weeks you start to move on, then over the years you begin to appreciate the experience and the accomplishment of what you DID do, but the loss hurts forever and will never go away.

To be fair, it is easy to say that now. If he goes for it, doesn’t get it, and CH scores off a turnover would you feel the same way?

Every kid that puts on pads in August thinks about a SC. By the end of district many kids have resigned themselves to the fact that they will not hoist the trophy in Jerry World. In the playoffs every week half the teams are eliminated and half the teams get closer to realizing that dream. As you advance in each round, you want it more. The SC transitions from a dream to viable outcome. After round 4 you are so close you can taste it. It’s like you can hold it in your hand, but it’s not quite yours yet. Once you step on the field for that SC game and see and hear the atmosphere you realize that this is either going to be one of the most heartbreaking days of your life or one of the most joyful. It feels like an eternity to walk out of the tunnel, go through all the pageantry, get the ball kicked off, and actually run onto the field to do your job. Once you start playing you zone in on the task at hand and you don’t notice the crowd, the stadium, and you don’t really remember the prestige of what you’re playing for. You just play. It’s after the game is over that you either go numb with indescribable regret, sadness, and heartbreak. Or you feel a level of accomplishment and pride that is only rivaled by things like getting married or watching your child be born. Of all the football teams in Texas and all the kids on those teams. If your team won the last game you ever played in, you either won a championship or your team wasn’t even a top 4 team in your district. You see, most good teams and most kids last experience as a Texas high school football player ends with a loss. … So to answer your question the championship game hurts the worst, so don’t lose it.

He’s just a big fan. No sponsorship at this time. Maybe in a couple years when he’s eligible to participate in NIL deals.

I guess we’ll never know!!!!

Some people asked what would happen if CH didn’t make it back to the semis for a third straight year!

Like I said, to date in their career I would say no. We will see how this season plays out before we judge it. Same for next year. It’s fair to say it would be disappointing. It’s certainly the expectation, but is is a failure? I don’t know yet.
