Game will be played Friday @ 1:30 Houston NRG Stadium
Cuero played Silsbe back in 2018 for the semifinals championship on their way to the 2018 state championship. Gobblers won that game 29-24. Looking for a good close game.

That 2018 game was a bit of a scare for the Gobblers. I didn't have any fingernails left after watching that one, lol..... Silsbee was good that year! Looks like they are rollin' again this year. Couple common opponents in Smithville and HF. At first glance these two look pretty evenly matched. Should be another good one!

I think this is going to be a very good game. Going to be hard to pick but I want a CUERO win. Silsbee is no cupcake. This has the feel of a 7–10 point game either way.

Coach Randy Wallin Smith of Silsbee is the brother of Coach Andy Ray Smith of Gregory Portland. No they are not twins, they were born about 8 years apart. They both played football at Giddings and Coach Randy Smith played Football at Hardin Simmons and Coach Andy Smith played football at UTEP.

Seems like a major inconvenience for both sides.

And, to me it just means you get it done with so the winner can immediately start preparing for the semi-finals instead of a saturday game where you are losing a day.

Seems like a major inconvenience for both sides. The Gobblers had played 3 playoff games in the rain, so did Silsbee. Both teams agreed for a indoor venue. Both schools will not have classes Friday. Don’t expect many merchants to be open, people will take vacations and call on sick with Gobbler Fever to be at the game.

OG72, I've not watched any of Silsbee this year but know in the past they have had some speed. If you've been looking at em, how do they compare size and speed wise to the Gobblers this year IYO??

OG72, I've not watched any of Silsbee this year but know in the past they have had some speed. If you've been looking at em, how do they compare size and speed wise to the Gobblers this year IYO?? as with most east Texas teams they have speed. The Qb is Brisbane. It’s his 2nd year to start at the position. He’s thrown for 2600 yards and 34 Td’s. His favorite Wr is a junior named Dre’Lon Miller. He has 1300 yds receiving and 18 Td’s. Watching games and highlights it appears that they use a lot of timed routes where Brisbane throws it up and the wrs run to it. The two running backs have speed, a little small. One back has 856 yards and the other 745 yards. On defense they are sound. The MLB is there strength. I think for a Cuero win, they’ll have to put constant pressure on the Qb. He doesn’t appear very mobile. They have a tendency to fumble 2 or 3 times a game
