Two VERY good teams!!! Both teams are loaded with great talent! Will it be won in the trenches by the Dawgs front? Or will the speed and athleticism of the Hawks prevail? Who ya got and why?

I thought Silsbee was #2 and PG #3? Not that anyone gives two cents, just saying.

MaxPreps has PG #2 and Caddo Mills commentators kept saying #2 but we will go with this one. No worries... 

It doesn't matter, you do whatever. I just knew Dave Campbell had Silsbee at #2 pretty much all season and they usually lineup with the AP polls. But they're all pretty much even as far as a team regardless of their rankings. Rankings are just someone's opinion anyways.

Harris poll has them at 3 too actually dropped silsbee down to 5 and bellvile is #2

Yeah, it's all on who someone wants to go by. I've always thought the AP poll was the official poll or rankings. I just always look at DC because it's easier to find. lol

This game is a Toss-Up IMO.

Really do not see how if PG wins that it would be an upset. Rankings mean nothing for one. Two PG returns a ton more than Carthage does.

I think Carthage wins the D-line battle vs PG O-Line. 

I think PG D-Line vs Carthage O-Line could be a wash. 
 

PG Secondary > Carthage Secondary

Special teams Carthage wins

Athlete for Athlete PG wins

Speed PG wins

Coaching Carthage wins.

We all know games are won in the trenches. I think PG will try to get the ball out quick to limit Carthage D-line, I also think they will try and run the ball on the exterior. I think Carthage will go more ground and pound for the first time this season minus the LE game, I also think Carthage passing game will be more shorter choice routes.

All in all it comes down to turnovers and big plays and which team can get the other off the field on 3rd down. I have no prediction but it has the makings to be a good one.

look for Carthage inexperience in the secondary to be a little bit of a problem along with some guys possibly playing both ways to contain PG speed.
