I never said it would be close, but I was sure that there would be a ton of points scored.  I honestly, thought Gilmer would give up more based on the history of this season.

I know Oklahoma State and UTSA but I believe there are more.

that one not over 35-27 with a little over 2 minutes left

79-42 final. Glen Rose had no answer to the Gilmer running game. I’m guessing Gilmer had 500+ rushing yards.

Good job Gilmer look forward to watching next week. Next week will be a lot harder.

Bellville did not impress me in the least. 

Wimberley looks exactly like they did last year and Bellville couldn’t separate.

I think Gilmer is about to expose Bellville.

Great win Buckeyes. Go get you another state championship.

I believe the broadcast said Henderson had 270 yards after his final touchdown.

Great Job Buckeyes!!!

I had confidence we would win, but the GR passing attach was a legit threat. #3 for GR is a fantastic TX high school football player....I'd take that kid on my team every time.

#24 on GR was a tough S.O.B. also.

That being said, this game should not have been even as close as it was. GR should have accepted the defeat, run the ball up the middle, let the clock run, and Gilmer would do the same. Just get it over with and nobody gets hurt.

But GR has to push it, so Gilmer puts in Henderson for one run for a 50 yard TD to remind them of their place.

GR coach is darn good, no doubt, but the way he handled the second half of this game was not the way I have seen other classy coaches handle it.

Congratulations Gilmer on your victory.

Way to go Buckeyes! One more!

[CasualObserver70]

Ok, a few quick observations:

1. As mentioned earlier, GR had no answer for Gilmer running game. Great game by the Oline.

2. The GR passing game was legit. Lots of crossing routes that created natural runs, they would flood the zone and find the open receiver (#3 Usually) and their wide receiver screens were well executed. But they just made a few too many mistakes.

3. This game reminded me of some Gilmer teams from the past:  they scored in bunches. This was a 14-7 game and the next thing you know it’s 42-7.

4. Got to agree with MetalHead about the 4th quarter. GR could have decided to run the ball and the clock (the refs were every time they had the chance.). But they kept throwing and that led to the 2 late TDs.

5. I don’t think GR had seen a team with this kind of speed, or anything close to this type of speed, all year.  And not just Henderson. Every Gilmer player when he was in the open looked like he was going to go for 7.

Great win Buckeyes!!  Now go get that ring!!

If the Gilmer coaches come up with the right game plan/scheme and the Buckeyes execute it, the Buckeyes win.

If they don't, it will be like when we played Sweetwater in 2016 in Waco. Glen Rose will pick us apart even though we are more athletic and have more speed.  Caveat, didn't matter who won that game, WOS was the best team in 4A in 2016.

Glen Rose is a very well coached team and disciplined. We have them out matched for athletes and speed. It's up to the coaches to come up with the right game plan and make the adjustments needed.

And it's up to the Buckeyes to make the plays on defense which they have shown they can, when it counts.  The Buckeyes showed some resilience on defense against Carthage, despite the struggles all year.  And let's not forget, Carthage still scored 44 points, but the Buckeyes won.

Glen Rose is going to score some points, simple as that. Their passing attach is fantastic and they just keep coming with it. Thankfully, they don't have a running QB, which is a HUGE advantage to Gilmer. Glen Rose defense won't be able to keep Buckeyes out of the endzone, but they will be able to get some stops. They are that disciplined.

I think it it's a close game till the 4th quarter when Gilmer goes up by 10+ points and the game is over.

If the Gilmer coaches do their homework and the Buckeyes execute it without any turnovers and hopefully without any referee problems (the refs have been all over the place this season) Gilmer wins.

Safe travels to all .

 

Can the coaches get an “ attaboy” from you?
