Most coaches know going into a game whether they have a chance or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trashyhound Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Prayers for safe travels to the Dawgs Friday night. That's a haul in good weather much less stormy weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dawgs were missing 6 starters against LaVega in 2015 not that the Dawgs would have beat them. It would have been a much closer ball game.

Lion7000 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 When the last District loss ? Heck when the last time Carthage worked for a win in the 4th quarter? Van always had a respectable program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgs02 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Last district loss was back to back losses to Henderson and Kilgore in 2016. Finished 3rd in district if my memory serves me right and won a state title that year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious on the last loss in district, I was thinking Hendo or CHill or somebody got them YEARS ago and then the Dawgs went and won state or something stupid like that!

Finished 3rd in district if my memory serves me right and won a state title that year After the second of those 2 consecutive losses, the Bulldogs went on a 40-game winning streak. Liberty Hill snapped that streak in the 2018 state semifinals. Carthage then went on a 41-game winning streak before losing last year to China Spring. They are 90-2 since losing the first 2 district games in 2016. Edited October 27, 2022 by BevBrownJr 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he was the Offensive Coordinator after Coach Chris Smith (Smitty) left for Southlake Carroll to work for Riley Dodge. Last month, Coach Mac was posthumously inducted into the Carthage High School Athletic Hall of Honor. He coached there for 37 years. Prior to his death, he was also inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fames of both his high school in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and his college, Angelo State University. At the time of his induction into the latter, he was only the second basketball player ever so honored. Full disclosure: Coach Mac was my brother-in-law. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIMRIGGINS Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 On 10/25/2022 at 11:03 AM, BevBrownJr said: As is probably true at many high schools, Carthage's football program has had many significant contributions over the years from the sons of members of the coaching staff. Under Coach Surratt, this has included the following: Coach Mike Morgan - Anthony was a starter on 3 state championship teams (safety in 2008, QB in 2009 & 2010); Austin, now an all-conference baseball player at Panola College, started at safety on 2 state championship teams (2019 & 2020). Coach James Foster - Camden was a starting linebacker in 2020 (a state championship year) & 2021. I believe he is playing college football now. Coach Charlie Tucker - His stepson was a starting offensive lineman who played on at least one state championship team...maybe 2. Former Offensive Coordinator Kevin Davis - His son, Kason, was the starting QB on the 2016 state championship team, which was probably the most overachieving of the 8 Carthage state champions. I recall that he later played baseball at Tyler Junior College. Hiring good players in a important part of being successful....Coach Surratt is smart, he knows who to hire and what coach wouldn't want their son to play there?
