That being said El Campo-Kilgore didnt get highlighted this week in my small school preview...

On the weekly Tepp and Stepp podcast they pick 10 games around the state, so to their credit it is ALL classifications. And to Matt's credit, it's Greg Tepper that loves to kiss up to SOC, not Matt. And sometimes when we do our game draft we may not always pick the absolute best games...sometimes there's a weirdo game that catches our attention for one reason or another... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs12 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I think this one could go either way. The Kilgore that played Lindale wins. The Kilgore that played CH loses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdogs00 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) in my opinion I don't think Kilgore has played very well overall since before the bye week....almost seems like we have been just going through the motions...now granted CHILL was very good and had a lot to do with it, but we just look off with penalties, turnovers, and just overall execution...not terrible just a little off....I'm hoping they got back in gear after the second half of LCM game...they had a little more fire to them when they came back out and put them away...Kilgore can go as far as they wanna go if they play to their potential....will need a few breaks as well but this Kilgore team when clicking is pretty dang good...nothing against El Campo they have a very good team as well... but if we come out and play Kilgore football El Campo is gonna have a huge problem...

I agree and disargee. If you look at the CH game and the LCM game. Kilgore looked like a complete different team from the 1st half to the 2nd half. Giving up one touchdown in those games during the 2nd half. If they can play a complete game like that I believe they should win, if that first half team shows up all game it might be problems for them. I'm still rolling with the Dogs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie98 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 It seems that every time we face El Campo in the playoffs, the narrative always evolves into "will Kilgore's defense be able to slow down that vaunted Ricebird rushing attack?". The majority of the time we do, but Kilgore's offense hardly ever gets any credit going into these matchups. So let me share a few stats if y'all don't mind.... Kilgore's running back, Isaiah Ross, has rushed for 1,926 yds this season with 19 TD's. Kilgore has had a lot of great running backs through the years, but I can only remember 3 or 4 eclipsing 2,000 yds in a season. That's elite company. I mentioned yesterday that El Campo has ~ 400 yds passing on the season. VanZandt for Kilgore is just over 1,600 yds passing with 16 TD's to just 3 INT's. I believe all 3 of those INT's came in week 1 vs Carthage.... so since then he's 15 TD's to 0 INT's. I think a lot of teams would like to have that. Strength of schedule.... looking at the top 25 ranked teams in 4A-D1, Kilgore's SoS is #1 (just ahead of Stephenville). We've paid our dues to get here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Ross is a stud, Kilgore is #2 in SOS to Paris. just an FYI. I have great respect for Kilgore and their program. Did Ross’s have an older brother play RB in 2020?

Strength of schedule has alot to do with how you play in the playoff and know how to compete with someone that might be better than you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly believe if Kilgore plays well this game will not be as close in the end as most think it will....the key to me is tackle well and don't give away pts via turnover or special teams...I just believe we will stop them more than they stop us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
