CDAWG68 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I believe China Spring will be able to handle the three headed monster of Gilmer, #11, #17, and #29. My prediction, CS 35 Gilmer 21. If Gilmer commits a lot of penalties like last night, it will not be pretty at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearEmaGrowlin Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I just think China Spring is too strong for Gilmer. Then, if you add in 25 unforced errors/penalties by Gilmer, CS will have little problem dispatching of those Buckeyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSMike Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I really have no clue how this is going to go. I’ve seen some Carthage folks say CS is going to win and maybe by more than a possession…but I think this Gilmer team is a lot better than the one that started the season. There’s an extra level of motivation too for Gilmer having lost at state last year. I’ll give my thoughts and y’all advise where I’m wrong D line - advantage CS O line - Wash QB - Gilmer slightly RB - ? CS starter left Cuero game early - adv Gilmer WR - Gilmer except CS has one that’s better than all of Gilmers but as a unit Gilmer LB - slight adv. CS Safety - Wash but CS has one you just can’t throw at not sure if Gilmer has that please advise Gilmer folks Corner - Gilmer I’ll take my Cougars in a close one, can’t pick against em. Will have to play lights out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboyandchrist Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 If Gilmer can stop all the penalties they can win the title. China Spring has the defensive speed to run with Gilmer. Their front seven and DB’S will be the best Gilmer has faced since Carthage. Gilmers offense is better than than Carthage this year and I expect them to play better. Gilmer needs a track meet to win this game. If China Spring forces Gilmer 3 and out on Gilmers side of the field 3 or 4 times, Gilmer in big trouble. Gilmers defense will have to play the best game they have played all year. when 2,4,5,8,18 and a big fast O line take the field you will know what I am talking about. I did not think any team could run or pass on the Dawg defense and they did. China spring does not have big offensive linemen like you normally think. They are tall and big, but no fat boys in this unit. They whip the Dawg d line on certain plays that allowed Major B or 4 to run for first downs. They don’t throw a lot but every pass he threw was right on the dang money even when the Dawg DB’S had them covered like a blanket and that was with a safety over the top. Gilmers offense will score, but they will have to have help from their defense. I am pulling for Gilmer, I truly believe Gilmer will be the best team China Spring has faced all year. China Spring has won the first Quarter in every game they have played and forced ever team to play from behind. If Gilmer can get ahead and force China Spring to play from behind, it will increase Gilmer’s chances. CS should be the favorite, but Gilmer has been in many championship games and that is their Ace in the hole. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upullinmychain Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Think that the Carthage fans got this one wrong,sorry to disagree with you but gilmer got way better in offensive firepower later in the season,same mentally retarded bone headed penalties but way better..The bucs defense has finally found itself late and seems to be solid..my prediction? If gilmer plays a clean game they win by 21, if they have the same mental hiccups this week,China spring runs them out of the building. The fluellen kid will be a match up problem even for cs,and tennasen didn't even really try to run the ball his self,which creates probs for linebackers in coverage. I can see gilmer running away with this game...And I can see China spring running the bucs out the building..Celina had no chance and gilmer showed it,9 false starts and Celina got on the board on silly broken play,bobcats had vaunted defense? Um no. The best d gilmer has seen all year was carthages and I think the bucs learned from it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When LB’s manage to get off blocks he turns nothing into something. Need him back. 19 can break tackles too but he’s more a speed back. Gilmer will keep him running inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsguru02 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Man if Lorena gave them fits how y’all think we can’t. Also Our oline and offense is better then Carthage this yr and that’s where Carthage lost the game. If Carthage had an offense like they normally had CS wouldn’t of had a chance because it forced their defense to be on the field way too much. Let’s be for real it’s all about matchups and we know Carthage has had Gilmer number but let not act like they didn’t have 3 weeks to prepare for us and that Surratt is just so familiar with us that he knows what to expect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBizzle Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Matchups. Games are all about matchups. You saw Carthage handle Gilmer and get handled by CS. But 1+1 does not equal 2 here. Gilmer has the offense that Carthage didn’t have. They will be able to run the ball, maybe not for big gains, but enough. They will provide the QB with a little more time than Carthage was able to. And they have a qb who will throw the ball into the middle of the field. I don’t. Recall Carthage completing a single pass in the middle of the field. Even when the defense dared them to. CS secondary is good, but if the refs call some holding penalties back there it will open things up. Now, don’t get me wrong, CS is more than capable of winning this game too. I think this may be one of the best games of championship weekend. I think it will be close. I’ll have to think on it before making my prediction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts anyone saying that we don’t have a chance just because CS beat Carthage is crazy. Carthage ran two man routes the whole night and was trying to force paddie the ball. CS hasn’t played a offense like ours all yr and I promise they haven’t seen a WR like fluellen. I also think by us playing on this stage will help too because we won’t be so shell shocked with it. This will be a great game that both teams can win it’s gonna be what team makes the least amount of mistakes that comes away with the victory.

Sportsfanatic1 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 CS is very talented and VERY disciplined. You have to make them chase points or they will run the ball down your throat. They have the best D I've seen in 4AD2 this year. Should be a heck of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not pretend Lorena is a slouch “Lorena gave them fits so of course we will” Lorena is playing for a state title this weekend too. They’d beat 75% of the 4A D2 playoff teams by double digits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
house Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 China Spring very disciplined and Gilmer very undisciplined. Taking China Spring by at least 2 scores. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
