Okay, some quick observations:

1. PG passing game was devastating tonight. Their receivers get lost in all the misdirection of the wing T and were wide open all night.  

2. PG defensive front is really good. they can make a team one dimensional. 

3. Saying that, PG exposed the two biggest issues Gilmer has had all year: Poor O line play and big mistakes in the secondary. Gilmer got burned all year by good passing teams. And the O line didn't live up to expectations this year.

4. There has clearly been a shift in the football world in 4A. Region 2 now runs through Texarkana, not Gilmer. 

5. As I stated the last time these two played, there is a difference between a great team and a great program. For years, Gilmer has had a great program, but they are in danger of turning into just a great team.  Meanwhile, PG seems to be building a great program.  Let's see if they can hold on to their head coach. 

6. Hate that this was the last game for the seniors, especially Webb.  When he was healthy, he was one of the most exciting RBs to watch. 

Tough season for Gilmer. We'll see what happens this off season. The good news, construction will begin on the high school soon.

Congrats to PG and their district teammates. Three of four regional semi-finalists and both regional finalists. 

Next round flip home & home with Mt Pleasant for Pitt and Grim for PG.

Will they do that be great idea or just have it at Mt. Pleasant or even Longview

Congratulations to the Hawks!  Clearly the better team.  The Buckeyes just never seemed to jell and overcome the weaknesses that we saw from the beginning of the season.  Grateful to have made it to the 3rd round and somewhat surprised we made this far.  Pleasant Grove is supremely consistent and polished.  Gilmer was athletic, but unpolished and rough around the edges.  Would have taken several mistakes from the Hawks to keep this game close and they don't make mistakes.  That is the measure of a true championship caliber team, limit mistakes and take your opponent out of their comfort zone, forcing mistakes from them.  Good luck next week, PG.  Ya'll are doing all the right things to win another title.

Grimm is still a dump.  Needs to be played in Longview.   Would be a plus for everyone that wants to see the game

Says the man from Pittsburg”

Tell me why you consider Grim a Dump??

TISD has put a lot of money into the renovation of that facility and it’s pretty nice.
