But, Aledo is not in the group of 5AD2. I do believe Carthage would have the most championships of all the 5AD2s we mentioned but as mentioned previously, they would not have as many as they have obtained in 4A. There would be years when some of the teams mentioned (such as SOC) would win. Aledo being a similar anomaly as Carthage but at a higher level. Aledo's not in 5A-D2 now but they were in 5A-D2 for a long time and basically prevented pretty much else from winning a state title for a decent chunk of that time.....thus limiting anyone else from racking up titles and they would have prevented Carthage from winning titles as well IMO If you take the 4A-D2/5A-D2 champs from the years Carthage won state titles in their respective divisions I wonder how many of those Carthage teams would win state in 5A-D2....I'd say maybe 2?? (2008 and 2017?) So they'd have just as many state titles as South Oak Cliff....I think if Aledo wasn't in the way SOC would have 3 titles that 2018 team pushed Aledo big time in the regional semifinals that year...it was kind of SOC's introduction as a legit contender 2008: Sulphur Springs 2009: Aledo 2010: Aledo 2013: Aledo 2016: Aledo 2017: College Station 2019: Aledo 2020: Aledo 2022: South Oak Cliff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg 2020 had both loaded on both sides of the ball. Dawg 2022 was in my opinion one of the best Dawg teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back and read it again. I said those Dawg teams could have played with Aledo and held their own. The 2019 O line was better than Aledo. The 2017 and 2022 defense was also better. My Homer opinion. Keep trying Lion 70. You do add color to anything that mentions my Dawgs. I think this years Dawgs is going to hurt your feelings again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I do ask to please evaluate the 2020 Bulldogs again as a refresher, while also doing the same for the unquestionably strong Aledo Bearcats. I’ve said many times I believe only a few teams we’ve had would be able to defeat an Aledo, Longview, etc and have never said we’d be able to win 6A, not going there. I have said in a one time head-to-head with a truly special Carthage team we could have beaten one of those juggernauts, and that’s not taking away from them in any way whatsoever. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Aledo, and don’t want for our Bulldogs to have to play in 5A-D1 and above week in and week out. A one time game though, shoot, let’s roll the dice! Now, let’s hope the Carthage Bulldogs are ready to beat those Kilgore Bulldogs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
