99probs Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Van travels to Hawk Stadium this Friday for a 7 p.m kickoff Van held Gilmer to 3 points in the second half of their matchup, I believe. However, Gilmer did pull out the 31-23 win. Many have said PG didn't impress them... and I can see some truth to that. However, it's been something special to watch when PG hits that next gear when they've needed to. I don't think PG will take them lightly. Chances for an upset?

I think Van keeps it close in first half, but PG pulls away in the 4th to win by 10.  But if PG makes several mistakes Van is capable of an upset.  Underrated game in East Texas for sure.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van will have limited success on the ground. Â Points will come through the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkNation12 Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 (edited) PG should win, but have to limit penalties and be on the positive side of the turnover battle. Van is a good team, that is well coached. Hope PG QB plays well, he’s had some good and bad games, but seems to be getting better the last few weeks. PG Defense is hitting on all cylinders, probably one of the best D’s PG has had since 2017. I’m thinking something like 28-14 PG.

True PG has a very good defense speed everywhere just need to limit mistakes they should win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandalman Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 I'm not sure how these teams will match up. PG is favored for good reason, but Van will pop you in the mouth until the final second so it could be a good game. Vandals will need to limit turnovers and play mistake free. Really a tossup to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBuckCoach Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Both are quality teams. I think most people are giving the nod to PG due to recent history of success. It would not surprise me for this to be a low scoring game. Being at PG helps the Hawks but Van is certainly capable of winning this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vans defense can stop a not very good PG offense, they can make a 4 quarter game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This still just "almost" has the feel of 4 or 5 years ago when Van was thrust into the district of doom with Carthage, Kilgore, Henderson and CHill. All the chatter then was Van couldn't compete with the big boys then went on to beat everyone except Carthage to take 2nd in district. I'm not saying that the Vandals will beat the Hawks, just that they are certainly capable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
