Too much sputter in the offense. Calallen will need a great gameplan and execute near perfectly to win this. Boerne looks a lot more consistent and played better comp. Calallen has pulled off these games before, so it’s possible they come out with a win. With all due respect, they have not played MUCH better competition. Better, but not by much and It’s debatable. . They didn’t play a killer non district schedule and certainly the playoff teams have been comparable to who we’ve played. Davenport was hands down better than any team they faced in the first three rounds. Somerset was probably the second best team they faced all year and we have comparable scores in our matchups. Their non district was two teams we faced in GP and FB. Salado who was 3-7, but yea they nearly knocked off Cuero in the first round and Gobblers are cruising now. Antonian is a respectable Private school they beat. But Fredericksburg went back to being mediocre this year and San Antonio Memorial And SA Kennedy were LaFeria/Zapata/Kingsville bad and Uvalde might have been TM bad. If Calallen had beat the bulk of our district schedule by scores like 42-14 or 35-7, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. People got damn spoiled by these 60-0 scores and thinking they’d carry over to the playoffs. Cal average opponent ranks #40 Boerne average opponent ranks #45

Cal average opponent ranks #40 Boerne average opponent ranks #45 Little more detail please. Its based on the DCTF computer rankings. Calallen has played a “tougher” schedule. Kind of. Antonion Prep and Mexico aren’t included for obvious reasons so take it as you will. Calallen has played 6 teams that would be ranked in the Top 20 in 4A - GP, FB, Cuero, Alice, Davenport, and Somerset. Boerne has played 3 teams - GP, FB, and Somerset. Drop or add 10 per classification so it comes out like this Calallen: GP - 5 FB - 11 Cuero - 12 Zapata - 83 Kingsville - 95 La Feria - 67 Alice - 13 TM - 53 Hidalgo - 79 Beeville - 37 Davenport - 18 Somerset - 16 Boerne: FB - 11 Pleasanton - 44 GP - 5 Salado - 42 Uvalde - 69 SAMHS - 92 JFK - 86 Somerset - 16 Fredericksburg- 26 Taylor - 63 Pleasanton - 44 Calhoun - 46 It’s a lot of work to say that neither team has played a tougher schedule than the other. It’s about identical.

This will be a slugfest. Should be a classic battle for the R4 championship. Congrats to both teams on making it there.

Should be a BATTLE at the rock at Alamo Stadium. High scoring offense ivs the best defense in Coastal Bend. I know Calallen’s D is the STRENGTH of this team all season long as long as the offense gets going like they did last week the game is theirs for the taking. Boerne’s offense is balanced but their pass attack will test Calallen’s secondary & Alice was the only team that tested they’re secondary. Like I said it’ll be a BATTLE, I see this as a even matchup & I’m still juggling with my pick so I’m giving this a couple of days to think about this

It’s about identical. Calallen’s faced 3 tough foes than Boerne did in non district in G-P, Bluffers & Cuero since the Mexico game didn’t count when district came they took the teams to the woodshed except Alice & the same thing happened with Boerne they also scheduled the Bluffers & G-P since Pleasanton & Antonian didn’t they also did the same except Somerset.

I don’t know why everyone thinks Cal will be the underdogs in this game? Cal is ranked #2 and Boerne #3 and finally we can put this to rest, Defense wins championships.cal can win this game IF the knock Boerne off of their routine game plan, pass, pass run a couple times. Cal must get pressure on the Boerne QB or he will pick the Cal defense apart. If Cal can disrupt the Boerne passing game they do have a good chance to win this game. Comparing FB or to GP games is a waste of time since every team in the playoffs have improved and the intensity level is higher. Yes you can glean some things on individual players. Campbell knows exactly what Cal needs to do but it’s easier said then done. Boerne has a very good O line that protects that QB. I’m pulling for Cal to get it done.

Calpreps has it Boerne 28 (62% Chance of winning) Cal 22 (38% Chance of winning) I honestly think this is a tossup game and the team with the least mistakes will win it. Calallen has been here many, many times whereas Boerne has only 16 total playoff wins and 1 regional title back in 2004. That experience and tradition cannot be looked past. I had these 2 in the regional finals on my bracket with Boerne advancing to the semis so I am pulling for them simply because of that reason. Sorry about that WAC as I know you guys hate em.

Calpreps also had Brownwood and Lumberton winning their respective regions as of last week.

First post here, Navasota grad that laid down roots in Boerne, and first kid of 4 is at BHS now. I’ve been watching Boerne football the last few years, you are correct that they have a great O-Line and passing game, but the running game gets overlooked. Boerne has several good running backs, currently led by 18 TJ Dement. The line and receivers are all in on the blocking schemes and the backs hit the holes hard. They’ve run into a few good run defenses and usually get them to back off with the passing game. Cal should be the best defensive front 7 they’ve faced all year. Defensively Boerne gets good penetration up front every play and the secondary and linebackers fly to the ball and hit hard. These boys are looking forward to this game. Beating Calallen is the way out of the Region every year and they’ve earned the respect. I remember wanting a Navasota vs Calallen matchup when I was younger. We will be there Friday hoping for a Hound victory.

Calallen beating Boerne then Tyler Chapel Hill or Kilgore is doable. Making it to state and beating China Spring or Anna isn't happening. Nothing wrong with 15-1. When is the last time Calallen went 15-1? Never? Did you go 15-1 any of those mid 90s years when you kept losing to La Marque?
