regaleagle Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Big game coming up this Friday for both teams in Pleasant Grove's Stadium. Argyle defeated Decatur 56-9 and Pleasant Grove coasted to a 55-14 win over the Nashville Scrappers last week. These two teams have met only once in football back in 2009 in a playoff game.......Pleasant Grove won that game 35-19. Since that time, both programs have blossomed and matured from the bottom up. Both teams are highly ranked in their respective 4A divisions........Argyle is ranked #3 in D-1 and Pleasant Grove is ranked #2 in D-2 in the preseason polls. Both teams do well in the playoffs each season nowadays, but operate from completely different offensive schemes in the process. Pleasant Grove prefers to pound the ball in the ground game and mix in the pass whereas Argyle executes it passing game by mixing in the run. Should be a very interesting and fun game to watch. Good athletes on both teams with D-1 offers on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Should be a great game to go watch. I'm going with state champs Hawks in a close one 28-24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShirtD Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I don’t see a big time playmaker on the O side of the Eagles. PG D will be too much for them. With that said the Argyle D will have a difficult time slowing down the PG O. PG 40 Argyle 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleborn Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I’m think PG has met their match not named Carthage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillonpanthers Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I would like to see the Hawks pull it out for East Texas, but it may be too big a task. Hope I'm wrong. Should be a good one though. PG 24 Argyle 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Wow! After veiwing some of last year's game recaps and then the one last week......I just don't know how Argyle's D is gonna be able to defend against so many quality and speedy RB's. Even the QB is a RB for the Hawks. It's so early in the season that I seriously doubt the Argyle D will be ready for this kind of offensive scheme. We did play La Vega early the past two seasons and managed, but the Hawks system is a little different than what LV runs. Looks like it might turn into a race to see which team can score the most on the other's defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This...PG is going to move the ball but I think there will be a surprise in how well Argyle will move the ball....I don't think there will be a lot of possessions between the two teams...going to be a great game...

regaleagle Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 The one bright spot for Argyle is that they can score in a matter of only a very few plays in a series.......but that also computes to their D going back onto the field again for even more minutes.......and it's very HOT this time of the year. They will get winded for sure.......any team will against PG's offensive juggernaut. Quick to the line every single play and then the snap.....it won't take long for one of PG's backs to break a long one in this heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 They said last night that it was 109 on the field at kickoff in Argyle.......the temperature was 102. It stays hot like this the whole first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regaleagle Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 It appears that both teams have plenty of depth and quality players on the bench to sub if they need to........and in this heat that's what usually happens. Fresh legs are at a premium this time of the year in these hot games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Last week wasn't much of a test for either team's starters, but gave minutes to lots of players that are not the starters. That was great for the coaching staffs, but not so good for the starters to gel together as a unit so early in the season without having several scrimmages on the docket this year. Argyle did not have any scrimmages in full pads with another opponent this season.......they usually have two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbiased1 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Nashville tried to throw a bunch against PG. The different looks never phased PG, bc the DL blew the Nashville off the ball every snap, and QB was immediately on the shuffle. Will not be the case next week. PG will get to the QB but not as often and will likely have to bring some pressure at times. We will get to see just how good the PG secondary is next week. Argyle has the numbers and it will be hot, the two way players from PG will have their hands full late in the game. PG needs to do PG things and eat clock. If they can get some 10-12 play drives and force a few 3 and outs to get that Argyle defense right back on the field, PG can win it late. High hopes, but Argyle is loaded too.

regaleagle Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Argyle has 4 guys on the offensive side with D-1 offers to start the season, but only one on defense......if that tells you anything. But it's still early.......there will be some offers to a few others later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG 40 Argyle 21 You will if you watch this game on Friday.........#5 Cole Kirkpatrick, #9 Tito Byce, and a new kid that was all-district at Tomball H.S last season #3 Cash Walker. Then there are a stable of backs and receivers that are very effective in the Argyle system behind that O-line. QB CJ Rogers is the new starter this season......he got some limited playing time last year at QB but played more as a receiver. He can hurl it for sure........a very good basketball player. He's 6-3/192 this season after putting on 12 lbs. in the off-season after basketball. Still a work in progress, but has the tools you look for in the Argyle scheme. Behind that quality O-line he will have the protection and time he needs to develop those skills as the season progresses. Because he's a basketball player........he can be elusive and has some decent speed to escape if he needs to........unlike Hogeboom the past two seasons for Argyle.

regaleagle Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 I think I left out #87 Jasper Lott.......he plays both ways some parts of the game, but is the starting TE for Argyle. He has only 17 D-1 offers so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should make for an even more exciting game since the heat will not be such a detriment to the way the players are able to perform. Unless it's pouring rain.......then there goes the passing attack for Argyle and half their offense with it. Better for it to be too hot than too wet for Argyle.

I know the Eagles have a good team, not questioning that. My point is the last couple of PG losses have come at the hands of Carthage and Cuero (Dixon & Whittington). Both at UT and basically had a field day against PG. Don’t think Argyle has that type of player with the ball in his hands. Will the Argyle O line be able to manage the Hawk front? IN THE TRENCHES is where the game will be decided and that will be a tall task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both defenses will have their hands full. heck of a game early in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against a very top tier team like PG that has an excellent ground and pound game this early in the season........it could be very difficult for the Argyle defense. Argyle was having trouble with teams like Abilene Wylie in early season games years ago........they would typically have a power running game too. Nowadays its been La Vega and now PG. Paris has been tough wins for Argyle.......and even LE with their athletic teams and good RB's. LE teams were good, but made too many mistakes.
