Who left the starters in longer? FB fan can you find out how many yards were allowed against those 6 common opponets? Good work btw. For the district games FB has been pulling starters as soon as half. Expect GP the same. The only games with yards posted for common opponents on Maxpreps are Boerne, Calallen and EE. FB allowed 1,002 yds GP allowed 824. Difference of 178 yds or 59.3 per game. Pretty insignificant since we don't know exactly when starters got pulled. Makes it look like as often the case game plan, mistakes, turn overs, penalties will be big factors. Bump

That mediocre PLC team may end up in your bracket And? Might be a bunker buster

For the record I'm not expecting us to go far at all in the playoffs. If we play Beeville, we might very well have trouble against them in the first round. But we will be two and done. Davenport will likely take us to the shed. I hope I'm very wrong and maybe lowering expectations can be one of these reverse psychology things and we end up doing well in the second season. But if I feel confident I will not be cancelling or altering my plans for Thanksgiving weekend.

To be totally honest I’m concerned that the last month of half games could take a toll probably for both teams. The minds of 16-18 year old boys who haven’t played a full game in a month might be shocked that they have really good competition that want to beat them. The coaches have to wake these players up and be ready to play a full 48 minutes of solid football. For years we all have seen the disgust of the Refugio coach who routinely runs up the score by 70-80 points on hapless teams who should of thrown out the towel on the field and boarded the bus and left at the halftime. It’s nice we finally have some cooler football weather right before the playoffs start and now it’s almost won or done time.

Refugio coach stated he started playing his starters deep into games because they didn’t know how to play complete games in the playoffs.

It only became an issue when in the last two minutes or so of 40 or more blow out a trick play or 50 yard bomb was thrown to put icing on top of multiple layers of icing on the cake.

I worry about getting someone hurt late in a game especially when you have the game in the bag.

King’s just looking to create bulletin board material! Kings doing what King does when important games come up, talk smack to get some folks riled up. This game to me is a rivalry game and is setup perfectly as the last playoff deciding game. Sure FB beat Boerne in a FB home game. It does come to mind that the Boerne QB & RB both got injured in that game which could have affected the outcome of the game. Yes GP lost to Boerne in one of the worst games I’ve seen GP play in years. You can throw out that Calpreps crap in a game like this, because both teams are pretty evenly matched. The team with the least penalties and turnovers will be the district Champion and have a smoother ride into the playoffs. As usual there could be familiar future matchups with either Alamo Heights or Liberty Hill. At this point no doubt FB passing game is better than GP”s, but the GP running game is better at this point, but the GP passing game has gotten better in the last month. It’s good this game has everything you could ask for in the final district game of the season. Good luck and hope for a injury free game. Who cares about what side of the bracket is the easier side. All that matters is winning the reigion and to do that you got to beat all in front of you! And if I was GP & FB, I'd probably be way, way more concerned with a new school in Comal ISD that Alamo Heights this year and probably even LH!

I remember the great Judson teams of years past and how they could turn that switch on once the post season started and our boys were the same way when we had Jinks running the show. Right now is the time to get it rolling

I noticed they been on a roll.

Keep your eye on the scoreboard thread Friday night and you just may find out. They are good enough that they beat Leander Glenn 62-0. You know, the same Glenn that beat Vic West the very next week 52-17. CP only beat Glenn 17-13. They also beat a pretty good Tivy team by 24 points and just whooped Lockhart by 4 TDs as well. I'd say they are hella good for a team in their 2nd year as a varsity program. Wouldn't you? Hopefully we will get to see GP line up against them in the playoffs this year.
