No matter how undisciplined La Marque was, their speed killed Calallen. They shutdown the run and pass. And Aledo is just like LT. Well balanced. They blew La Marque's speed away with a very balanced team. Then they exploited La Marque with Gray. LT did the same to Denton Ryan's vaunted Defense. Picked them apart with a well balanced and precision offense. Aledo and LT were great at not letting the opposing Defense's dictate their Offense. LT and Aledo's Offense were too powerful for the Defense's to shut them down. You hit the nail on the head. I wonder how La Marque is going to do under their new coach? Will he put up with the Bravo Sierra? Or will he put the foot down which might cause some losses on team. I look forward to our non district schedule this year with PLC instead of King. It will give us some speed to look at which was absent for the most part on our schedule as a whole (The Alice 4.2 speed didn't show  ). Hopefully Vic East can bring some down this way too. Carrol , blah and Gee Pee is largely an unknown. |

LT and Aledo's Offense were too powerful for the Defense's to shut them down. LT beat Ryan by attrition. Ryan's offense was pathetic against LT. LT didn't blow up Ryan's defense by their standards, but they were handed a lot of opportunities by LT's performance on D. The Aledo/LM game was close at half, but the second half was a different story. LM just didn't have enough horses out there. LM brings back a lot including the running back lost in Gray's performance who had 200+ himself vs Aledo. LM made a few mistakes too which could have kept them in the game longer. Once they started to snowball, it was over. |

Wasn't trying to start an argument, but here goes: The stats I saw were that Calallen averaged 134 on the ground and 281 thru the air. Not entirely unbalanced, but not entirely balanced. Also of note: Passing against these teams: Vic East 1-4 Carroll 1-5 Ray 7-10 Mercedes 6-10 GP 4-8 AH 3-4 I will admit that they beat AH GP and East without passing much, but it certainly was not by being balanced. In my opinion ( and it may not be worth much !) when you compete at the levels that Calallen is accustomed to competing at, you cannot throw 3,4 or even 8 times in a game and beat excellent teams. Balance in outcome and approach aren't the same. We took what the D gave us. If the running game stalled out because of run defense we could open it up and vice versa. My point is, if we were one dimensional, we wouldn't have an option after one was stopped. Are ability to run the ball sealed the game against AH. Are ability to do both is what created the comeback against BC and eventual one sided outcome in the 2nd half. I'll grant this, at the beginning of the year, we were TOO reliant on the spread and GP shut that down and VEast was doing the same until Calallen went back to the running game and that essentially changed the course of the season. Fair enough. It was good enough to get them very deep in the playoffs, too. As an aside, LT will likely run more this year out of the backfield and with swing passes than they have since they became competitive back in the early 2000's. They will still throw first and run second, but they have too much talent to ignore with a new upcoming RB and a QB who can run very well. |

Ok boys, here is mine: 1. LT ( surprise ) may be as good as the 2008 team. Nuff said 2. Smithson Valley- excellent team, but cannot be one dimensional and beat LT. 3. Cedar Park - still a very strong team, but huge losses on both lines of scrimmage 4. Alamo Heights-good coaching and sound fundamentals brings them back this year. 5. Kerrville Tivy - lost Johnny Football, but still some good players. Tough schedule early. 6. Calallen - too one dimensional and undersized, but system good enough for a bunch of wins 7. Flour Bluff - better than last year. Need to continue working on that running game 8. GP-many on here will think that this is too low. Go out and show me. 9. Vic East-some really good skill position players returning but not as good of a team as last year. 10. Insert your team as a sleeper here! oops, meant passing game for the bluffers! Hey, what are you talking about FB beat AP in 7 on 7.  |

Seriously, I look for a lot more passing this year from FB. More than we have seen since '04-'05 for a few reasons. Mims took over as QB during the season last year as a soph by the last couple of games they were letting him throw more. He threw quite a bit in the last district game and in the next game he had more passing yards than FB had rushing. This season Harper will be back from his knee injury to throw to as well as Mendiola (now a junior), Garza up from the JV and Villarreal out of the back field. I can't think of the TE's name but he also can catch the ball well. I have no doubt it will still be a run heavy O but it won't be just load up to stop the run is all it takes.

Ok boys, here is mine: 8. GP-many on here will think that this is too low. Go out and show me. I think most on here would believe that this is too high. They may end up that high thanks to a promising defense, but that's a very generous preseason ranking. |

West 10.East 11. FB May not start out this way, but this will be how they finish More along the lines of what I was thinking. |

I dont see how you can put an FB or gp TEAM UP THERE IN THE TOP 10. no NOT EVEN MY BELOVED cOYOTES... Plus no love for the valley??? I talked to a coach the other day from a 3a school, who is friends with some area coaches. Since coaches know everything..lol.. he said PLC is going to be the best team in 30, 31, 32 4a. He didnt mention much about calallen, but did say 31 4a is expected to be the same as it was last year 1-4.. bs i think. FB will take it all  |

I can't think of the TE's name but he also can catch the ball well. I have no doubt it will still be a run heavy O but it won't be just load up to stop the run is all it takes. A lot of questions will be answered when we open with CC King who will have a better team than most expect this year. I hope we can set up the pass with the run. If we can be successful on the ground, I think our passing game will be wide open. King is going to be very physical this year with some big guys. FB will be the smaller of these two teams by far. It is a complete role reversal from last year where we had the size, but not the speed. Gembel is the TE with the best hands and size comparable to Cardenas. Campbell has bulked up and should provide us with a quick hitting fullback up the middle and a compliment to the power running style of Uvalle. Don't forget Ned and Pradia as receivers. Ned is the more athletic from football standards, but Pradia has the sprinters speed. FB makes this top ten list if we have some wholesale changes on defense. Nobody should have a starting job going into 2 a days. I really think Brown should be moved to inside LB. Our LB's are our weakest link and if the play at that position doesn't get any better from last season, we can kiss any top 10 predition goodbye. If you don't have good speed, you better have great instincts at that position. Out of over 150 high school kids playing football, we should be able to find 3-4 that can play this position. FB likes to only have kids play one way...I think we should have the best athletes on the field at all positions. Maybe this will change some this year. |

As long as FB starts strong they'll be fine. One big problem from last year they MUST NOT have this year........Turnovers! Take those plus 3 and 4 TO's game away and they didn't look that bad last year. Hopefully, they've worked on the arms this year. Yep 62 days.....hurry up.
