Predict SLC vs Haltom

Post your predictions here. Remember this game is not at Dragon Stadium. The Dragons must go on the road.

[NMHS fan]

Haltom, 3-0 on a late FG. :D

[AllenEagle06]

How will the Dragons pull this one out? They don't seem to compare well with this Haltom team. ;)

Scott S - I have been waiting for this thread, for what is now your weekly tradition. I have posted a reply in a similar vein on another thread. The rest of the district games will be a joke, Colleyville was supposed to the big threat and the rest of SLC's district 5 opponents will end up being lambs to the slaughter; as they meekly cave in without offering any real threat to the predictable outcome of the game. SLC blows away all the other district teams by 50+ points; Haltom included. Score : SLC 50+ points vs Haltom 14 points or less; they will probably score when SLC has the third string playing in the forth quarter.

[ScottS]

Toonman,
There could be an upset.

How about you predict first?! I haven't seen your predictions on the start of the thread since never. :eek: It looks like you want to copy some expert? :D

[toonman]

Toonman,

I have just looked out my window; I do not see any pigs flying. In addition, it is still extremely hot in hell.

I need time to study all the different matchups.

[AllenEagle06]

Looked in the newspaper, no snowballs reported in hell today.

[NMHS fan]

We'll try to keep you SLC guys entertained through the end of the regular season and the first four rounds of the playoffs. :D

[ScottS]

Didn't you guys see the movie Little Giants?

[rich_pack]

SLC- 102
Haltom- 6

Dude this want even be close. This is a very weak district besides SLC

[ScottS]

Rich,
The district was 17-7 in non-district play.

[rams55]

SLC they beat our ***

[drgnbkr]

SLC they beat our ***

It was what you call your "statement game"...Colleyville came proud and confident...went home totally whipped....Russell looked like a freshman QB, not the heavy hitter he had been...

[toonman]

Didn't you guys see the movie Little Giants?

Dear ScottS - Little Giants was a movie where you can make the outcome anything you wish. In Friday Night Lights the movie, Permian reached the State Championship Game, where as in real life they only reached the semis. This is real life and in real life, SLC slaughters all district opponents.

[dragons08]

lets see..

Colleyville beat richland like 70-20, richland beat haltom soundly right? and carroll KILLED colleyville...another way of saying a CARROLL BLOWOUT

but i didnt need to see all that to think carroll would win soundly..as far as it on the road..

IMO more carroll fans will be there then haltom fans

No question about the fans..we will double the Haltom crowd...

[ScottS]

Any given night, people.

[AllenEagle06]

Any given night, people.
So what exactly is your prediction?

[FarmerFootballPlayer]

This isn't worth a thread... Haltom will obviously win. :p

[ScottS]

So what exactly is your prediction?

I'm still studying the matchups.

[SanAngeloBobcat]

Could be an interesting matchup. Haltom's new head coach is Clayton George who was Carroll's former offensive coordinator under Coach Dodge. If anybody knows what to expect from the Carroll offense, it would be Coach George.

I'm sure Carroll will still win by a comfortable margin, but it could be a more interesting matchup that most would think.

[SLC13]

Scott S, I've gotta agree with the toonman on Dragon prediction threads, pretty boring stuff from now until the PO's......

What might be more interesting would be prediction threads for the other 5-5A games each week since those games will determine whether we end up D1 or D2.

And they will be far more competitive...

[yankee]

this thread is not necessary...

it's like saying...

who will win? southlake or haltom? oh wait......er nevermind.

[WildcatFan]

Come on Scott why even bother with this post are you just being sarcastic, you guys are going to dismantle, put back together and dismantle them again all in the 1st qtr. Haltom those guys suck.

I will make you a deal if SLC looses against Haltom I will streak across your next home game at Dragon Stadium during halftime dressed in a Plano Wildcat cat suit carrying a flag that says SLC is the best H.S. team in the world.

Now this may almost be worth it. Does it have to be loss or would a suitably small points gap do as well? :D

Actually, Richland beat Haltom by one touchdown. That is not what I call a "sound" beating. Besides, in an intense rivalry like Haltom-Richland, anything can happen. You guys know that. Am I saying Haltom will beat SLC? No - but you can't judge them based on their last game.

[RocklandDragon]

What is the point spread...92 points or something?

:o

Unfortunately for Haltom, this will be one of those games that proponents of the mercy rule in 5Afootball will use as exhibit A.

Southlake Carroll 74
Haltom 10

It will be under the 92 point spread. :)

[RidgePride]

Well Lets make it more fun then. Remember this includes garbage time.

Over/Under

1. Total combined points - 70


2. SLC 1st half points 40


3. SLC Total points 60


4. Haltom 1st half points 3


5. Haltom total points 7

[crunked9]

If carroll was going to lose this year i would want it to be against Haltom. But we all know that will not happen! This game will be a blow out. I was playing to come to the game, but for some reason we have a baseball scrimmage set for 18 innings on friday and i wont be able to make it back. Which is probably good b/c i would have a tough time deciding what sideline to stand on.

That should be easy for you. The Dragons all like and respect Clayton alot, so you see him before the game, wish him the best of luck and then join us on the Carroll sideline. But as you will not be there, I will do it for you.

Nice Job Hawk!! I was critical of this thread earlier, but when it leads to a Clubber Lang reference it can't be all bad........:D

[FeeltheHaka]

Southlake by at least 35. Depends on when starters are pulled.

[gtown04]

Is there really a point to any thread talking about a specific matchup (minus the playoffs of course) where one team should win by 40+ points?

Good thing the internet doesn't use paper, think of the trees that would have to die.

[DragonBand06]

Southlake by at least 35. Depends on when starters are pulled.
Maybe we should play 2nd string for the whole game...:eek:

[Plano Wildcat Fan]

Post your predictions here. Remember this game is not at Dragon Stadium. The Dragons must go on the road.

Well that changes everything. PLEASE. These predictions andopinions are getting a little old. Will it be 45-7 or 52-10? The bottom line is SLC is not going to be challenged until possibly the Lufkin game.

Now that Plano is DOA until the HC is removed. I got to have pick-on my favorite team. :)

[zippy]

SLC - 2998 Haltom - 0

[BigJim331]

..there are two people who don't see this game as a gimme.

The first is the Haltom HC and the Second is Dodge. Both will prepare accordingly.

[SLCDad]

This prediction is easy.

Richland beat Haltom by 7.
Colleyville Heritage beat Richland by 50.
SLC beat Colleyville by 49.

Do the math.

SLC over Haltom by 106. :cool:

[rosslancaster]

I PITY DA FOOL WHO DON'T TAKE SLC MINUS 55!

[DragonBand06]

I heard a commercial on the radio tonight for a new TV show on TV Land. It involves Mr. T "Going from town to town teaching losers the rules."
I kid you not.

[dragonsdaddy]

the haltom coach is dodge's first true crony, and they love each other like brothers. there will be a short leash on the offense, imo. i'd be surprised of a 40+ blowout. it'll look like a funhouse mirror with haltom being an underfed clone of the dragons. 48-14. all of the buffs points in the 4th.

I just saw a tv commercial for that show while watching the monday night game and it ended with, "Join me in my fight against fools." Hilarious.

[ScottS]

Just 45 hours left to lock in your predictions for this game.

[toonman]

Just 45 hours left to lock in your predictions for this game.

I am going out on a limb here. I think SLC wins one. No I think I will pick........, no I will stay with my orginal choice- SLC. Still not sure though. OK - it's SLC to win by 50. Is a sure thing really a prediction. This is a bit like predicting whether the sun will rise tomorrow morning.

[dragons08]

SLC-56
Haltom-3

[dragon]

CG has to look good on Friday as pre-eval for taking over when Dodge leaves.

[Floyd the Barber]

I'll predict a halftime score of 45-0 SLC.

Then they try not to score more than twice in the second half
and probably Haltom manages a TD against SLC's second/third teamers.

So 59-7. SLC.

[dragonsdaddy]

i'm pretty sure his resume is thick enough with the ptb around here to overlook a loss to slc. if it weren't, i'm wondering how dodge survived the cuts.

[PackAttack2005]

Haltom, doesn't have a chance. They are just another team with a decent scoring offense against most teams and no defense, like Rockwall or CHHS. This game could easily be 63-7 or more. Just depends on how bad Dodge wants to beat one of his old buddy coaches..

[SLC fan]

i'm pretty sure his resume is thick enough with the ptb around here to overlook a loss to slc. if it weren't, i'm wondering how dodge survived the cuts.

So who's the more likely successor, George or Wasson?

[dragonsdaddy]

george, but i'm not sure he's first.

[Phoenixrising05]

I didn't want to ask, but since you all brought it up, is it pretty much assumed that Dodge will leave after Riley's senior year (next year)? Thats kinda why i'm hoping to win state this year and next, b/c after that i'm afraid we'll just be the next Permian, Plano, etc :cool:

too bad you can't watch the freshmen and jv green teams, esp. the cupboard is full, and may be getting better with or without dodge. one thing is for sure, whoever coaches the years after riley grads will have no problem getting athletes on the field. the 08 and 09, esp, classes are loaded. several sophs will start next year, so by the time they are srs, will have lots of experience, and are already very very good.

i have to agree with you. i don't expect a blow out because dodge will be quick to substitute. JV green beat Haltom JV 27-7 and black won 31-9 i believe. could have been worse but substitutions came in early. Dragons win 49-14.

[ponygirl]

The haltom team we will see tonight is not the same team SLC has faced in the past. They are well excuting team. The spread offense looks like a "mini-me" version of what dodge runs. Of course, that's due to the mini-me coach - clayton george. His return back to Tarrant county will not go unnoticed. In just a few short months, he has created a team out of chaos. Mark my words...it won't be a blowout. SLC will prevail, but not like they have done in the past. And don't get me started about what will happen is lil' Dodge gets injured.....

[leanderdad]

What is the tiebreaker used in 5-5A after head to head tiebreaker? positive points?

Yes - it is worse that the past. Haltom lost to Richland whom Colleyville put 70 points on. What I think will happen, is SLC will have the game won towards the end of second quarter with 30 to 40 points on the board. Dodge will keep the starters until after the first series of the third quarter. SLC may not score as often in the second half, but I am sure the back-ups, second and third string will want to score if they have the opportunity. Coach Dodge’s play calling may be a bit more conservative, not wanting to score heavily on his friend. I am sorry to say that this going to be a slaughter, even if the score does not reflect the complete dominance of the Dragons.

[SLC fan]

Mark my words...it won't be a blowout. SLC will prevail, but not like they have done in the past.

Or not. Halftime score: 49-0

[SLC fan]

Total yards in first half:

Carroll: 424
Haltom: 9

Ouch.

I would say I called this correct, except I underestimated the first half points total. Haltom were worse than I expected. I agree with the comment that SLC could have scored more than 100 points if they had wanted to.

are you by any chance a blonde?

[dragons08]

no doubt, the play calling was pretty conservative...lots of runs right up the middle, and tre and riley just had HUGE gains..cantu had some nice returns on punts

i was kind of hoping to see Tanner Toal (3rd string qb #16) get some playing time, but oh well

[dragons08]

anyone see Haltoms "napolean dynamite" dude running around dancing when we (carroll band) were on the field playing our show during halftime... i wanted to just bust out laughing

pretty good huh, i can play, march to my correct spot, and look at funny stuff in the stands

[insider]

The game really was a waste for SLC. No challenge on either side of the line. More importantly - it did not serve to improve the players as they did not see anything new or different.

the lack of talent in 5-5A, SLC excepted, will mean that SLC will need to toughen quickly when the playoffs get rolling. They have shown that ability in the past, so they will probably be able to do so again - but it does put pressure on preparation.

You make a very valid point, but in the first half the Offense got plenty of plays, in the third quarter the Defense got plenty of plays and the in forth quarter the back-ups got plenty of plays. I think this can work in SLCs favor. Reduction of niggling injuries to the starters, which can carry over into the play-offs. Valuable playing time for the back-ups. But I agree SLC do need to be tested for more than one quarter and I do not see that happening in the regular season.

[ScottS]

Did anyone else have their Dragon stickers torn off at Haltom's stadium? Mine was and I noticed alot of others were torn when I was driving around on Saturday. I guess better that than having your car keyed.

thatd explain my recent sightings. it apears a lot of dragon stickers are peeled a ton all of a sudden, if not partially torn off, etc

[my3sons]

Northwest will be a much better test than Haltom, but not as good as Colleyville and you saw what happened to CV in Dragon Stadium. It's also Homecoming and the Dragons will be sky high. Justin is good but it looks like another 50 pointer. The question is "will Northwest score once or twice. I will give them credit for 2 td's. Final score 52-14 SLC.
