Sure Mike,  the first wins were "just like" the others.  You don't notice a difference between the early team scores and the ones recently? Congrats on your next trophy,  it's been money well spent.  

with no "dawg" in the hunt, i just see 8 trophies

Definitely but as long as that ball was in the air the receiver should have at least tried to come back and defend or make a contested catch... 

Receiver didn't know it would be short til too late

Does Carthage have a official punter or do they draw straws before hand?

Carthage isn't doing anything other schools don't. There's plenty of rich school districts in East Texas. 
 

These kids work hard and commit to greatness. There's a couple of "move-in's" even contributing. Don't make it like these kids ain't from Carthage.

I thought he was from Carthage. Guess not, the way he's talking.

So because the town cares enough to put resources toward football, that's a problem? You're a moron.

He is true to his namesake.  Trashy

Guess if your kid starts kindergarten at a school, you better keep him there for 13 years so he's "home-grown".

How many defensive thefts have we already seen in these games so far?  A bunch.

Life happens.  And each and every parent 100% has the right to move their kid and better their future how they see fit.

UIL may have to make a Carthage 40 point mercy rule

Carthage is always super talented like Kilgore, Henderson, Chapel Hill, Gilmer ect. Fundamentally sound and extremely well coached. No question about this is reality.

Exactly.  So many teams in this area with loads and loads of talent.  This is not something unique to Carthage.  Surratt is. Preston is.

Right? And he's been great all year, but especially impactful the last two weeks.  

[regaleagle]

Seems like it's always a receiver getting the ball stolen......but I'm sure it also happened already to a RB or QB.

I think I respect just about everything about Van program and fans. Just about....

The seasoned defenses are good at grabbing for and stripping the football.....that's why we are seeing this at this level.

[Slickarick]

28-0 pending xp

Coach Surratt, Staff, Community and Students created their environment.

I am wondering if his hand injury wasnt aggravated.  He did lose that fumble on first drive.

When you win like they do, what parent in their rite mind wouldnt want their kid to play there if they have the chance to make a move for job etc. It happens anywhere where a team consistently wins. 

Carthage, PG, Gilmer, Longview… winning programs are going to attract parents and kids. Nice facilities do as well.  These schools don’t “recruit.”  They create a winning culture that attracts kids.  
 

This is nothing new.  I remember a kid at Pine Tree 30 years ago who moved to Longview to play baseball. Thought it would give him a better chance at a scholarship. 
 

Some folks are always going to be upset with programs like Aledo & Carthage. But most fans would sell a kidney to have the same type of success, culture, & tradition at their own school.
