He was very good and as far as I can recall didn't have as much growing pains as some other multi year starters we have had. Not to mention he had a great performance starting a game for Nationally ranked Tulane this year, when their starter was out. Pratt is very good as well, hoping after he graduates/leaves that Kai will get the chance to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about scoring points, good grief. This year, in the final two games Fat did his very best Colbert impersonation in excelling on both sides of the ball. Fat was just great against GR and Wimberley. It would not be fair at all. Haha. I underestimated just how fast Fat was. If not for the embarrassment of riches we had at WR this year, I could see him having played even more and put up some very big numbers at WR through the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really feel bad for Hatten for not being able to play in the semifinal or state championship game. Wish Dowden hadn’t have run into the back of him while diving into the end zone against Gilmer. Dowden was just trying to help the team win the best he could. Accidents happen just wish Hatten had been positioned a little differently and not gotten hurt on that play. Our oldest son loves Noah Paddie, he’s his favorite player followed by Cuff. You should’ve seen the oldest react to Paddie’s second TD catch. He was more excited about it than Paddie. Glad Paddie had that huge performance in the absence of Hatten, and Fat same thing the week before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look back at their defense Vs some of the others I’ve listed ahead of them and I just think it was not one of our best defenses. Other years had better defenses and as good or better offenses. Not gonna worry about if I think their competition was down or not. You can only play the people in front of you right then and there. Really? Gates, Brown and Dejulian at LB were all 3 as good as Carthage has had. Colbert and a literal track star in the secondary in Hicks. Also Whitlock, Owens and Hicks were all studs as sophomores. I think you could be mis-remembering or just looking at the points allowed? You would have a hard time finding more then 2-3 players from 2022 that would’ve started on that D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have a hard time finding more then 2-3 players from 2022 that would’ve started on that D. I am not saying I think there is a big gap between most of these teams. Particularly at the top 3 or 4 I would say margins are razor thin. I am not only looking at points allowed, but I am looking at it a little bit because I do think it matters. Also doing all this from memory. And I am not going to profess to remember every single player on every single team. lol I personally think Nate Marry is as good as any of them at LB. I think the DT's could have started. Was Colbert opposite Hicks at CB or was he at Safety? I think Harper this year would have been at CB or Nickel CB at least.

But, Brown and Gates were 230 pound grown men with beards that played like they had babies to feed! I think you should rewatch some of the games. Also not taking away from your opinion. It’s just for kicks. Edited December 30, 2022 by SmoakyBandito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a stout defensive line, I take Marry over the other 2 - he reads plays really well with a good burst to the hole/ball carrier With a weaker defensive line or against a straight ahead brute running team, I take the other two - they were both strong young men. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 1 small school in the nation and number 1 Texas 4A. All the Dawg teams had something special to win a championship but 2022 dominated opponents. 2017 and 2020 were hair behind 2022. as for as QB, Horton never lost a game in Two years. 2019 had one of the best O lines I have seen at the 4 A or 5 A level averaged 308 pounds and won the state championship against LaVega. Totally dominated a great D line of LV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearEmaGrowlin Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 Anybody have a list of where all these 2022 Bulldogs are going other than Paddie to Aggie and Cuff to ULALA?
