This is Northwest's 1st year in 5A. They come to Dragon Stadium this Friday. Predict the game.

SLC - 3598 Northwest - (-2)

Yet another SLC vs. much less talent thread. Why don't you save these for the post-season?

Predictions for the rest of the regular season:

Carroll >45
5-5A <14

We kind of got those out of the way in pre- district...Wait, they were from your schedule...how many points did Rockwall hang on you?:eek:

Rockwall and Lake Highlands aren't 5-5A and they got the same treatment. BTW, 5-5A was 17-7 in non-district play.

[SLCDad]

Northwest may not win Friday, but they have a fantastic new stadium. I can't wait to see it on the inside next year.

When I say much less talent, I meant much less than SLC.

Zippy - Your SLC/Haltom prediction was looking pretty accurate until Dodge pulled the starters.:D

AE06, I loved your idea of multiple predictions so much that I thought I'd knockout a PO game as well, that being the annual butt whippin that Allen gets from the Dragons......

SL Carroll..... >45
5-5A & Allen... <14

There that saves me lots of typing later.....:D

Thats what I hear. Looking good over there so far. Anyone going to give you guys that tought district game like you guys had last year? This Justin Northwest seems like they can at least put up some points at least.

[Southlakehawk]

I'm going to Northwest ISD's new stadium for the Colleyville Heritage game. The Dragons play Keller the night before.

[PackAttack2005]

Same as last week. A blow out @ 59-0. Does that sound respectable enough for the SLC faithful.

[The Dude]

All I know is... Poor Northwest. This will be ugly

[Grapeguy]

Unlikely to have a tough district game unless we're hit with key injuries.

The defense is so smothering, I would be very surprised to see any team that doesn't have the offensive firepower of a Lufkin hang more than 2 TDs on the first string. So far no team has more than one TD on the first string. Lance Dunbar of Haltom, the leader rusher in our district (at least before Friday) had negative ten yards from the few carries he got. NW has a good RB in Drew Ashley. If he has a good game, he'll be the first RB to do so against SLC.

The GV game last year was a big surprise but exciting and kinda fun. I liked all the whoopin' and hollerin' after the Dragons made big plays. It beats the polite applause the team usually gets when they score to go up by six touchdowns. Now that I think about it we did have some key injuries (Newton and PK Ortega) going into that game.

Go to the JV games Thursday night and get a first hand look.

[toonman]

ScottS - You really do like your weekly thread of predictions for SLC next game.

This week's game will be just like the previous 6 and just like the next 4 will be.

SLC will score a lot, will have the game won by half time and then and only then will Northwest put a few, in fact a very few points on the board.

I know you will ask the question next week, so let me give you my reply now. SLC will slaughter Keller, with the biggest points total of the season - 60+

Hilarious. I am never surprised by your posts. You are a loyal SLC fan. :D

[my3sons]

By the way, prediction for Friday night: SLC 49 Northwest 14. Homecoming is in the air.

Gosh! 59 is all you're willing to give us? :eek: Blasphemy!
:D

[ScottS]

Also note before you predict, Northwest is a projected playoff team (in the projections this site does).

[BAMF cowboy]

is it necessary to do this every week

honestly

my prediction for the rest of the season:

SLC 50+

opposition <20

[dragonsdaddy]

in this district, as we have been told time and a redundant time, that is damning them with faint praise.

[my3sons]

Northwest is a good club and I expect they will be really motivated to spoil SLC's Homecoming. However, Dodge has already told the players that the homecoming festivities does not include them. They have no part in it. SLC will take charge early and cruise in the second half and win by 35. 49-14 final!

[FeeltheHaka]

Southlake could start the second or third string on this one.

[rams55]

the GAME IS ALL READY OVER

GIVE IT TO SLC and save northwestern the pity of getting it handed to them

[Phoenixrising05]

I have a brilliant idea...since Trinity isn't goign to get any quality "pratice" against their rest of their opponents...and SLC won't either...how about we just have SLC vs ET at Texas Stadium...for the next 4 weeks in a row. :D

[Sakatha]

Imagine the carnage...

So, my cousin who goes to NW tells me that everyone over there *Hates* SLC with a passion...
I was like, "Really? I don't think most ppl from SLC have even heard of NW...":D

LOL I quickly discovered in my first year of college...that all these people around the state HATE Carroll...and i've never heard of about 90% of their schools haha

Speaking of Northwest...where is it?? And why is it called "Justin Northwest"? Is that a city?

Justin is out past the TMS Racetrack...kids from all around that area attend Northwest, including Trophy Club, right across 114 from Southlake. The school is right on 114 about 5 miles west of the racetrack.

So those in Northern SL and also Trophy Club are going about 15 or 20 miles to go to school....

Judson and SV won state last year, and are both consensus top 5 teams??

I have to agree with BAMF cowboy on this one and I've seen SLC first hand (SLC vs Rockwall). The only thing is SLC starts playing 2nd/3rd strings to get playing time to get ready for playoffs.. Maybe tries some new plays or players and incase of injuries.

[zippy]

Judson and SV won state last year, and are both consensus top 5 teams??

~DnM

No to the first part, and 100% yes to the 2nd. I think since 2002 there is no way you cant say both were not top 5 teams. For most of those years they were in the final 4, if not then the final 8 in all of 5A standing at the end. Not to mention they did have some close games and even some games were lost to other 26-5 teams. Kind of amazing huh? Getting a feeling of how it must feel to play 5-6 very tough regular season games before the playoffs? It happens, and they do get beat up.

I don't think this is about 2002-2005...

If I read correctly, it's about ET and SLC playing 4 straight 2006 games at the end of the year...

Stop trying to SV this thread.. ;)

[texasboy]

slc hasnt really played anyone yet if they go d1 in post season and play et then you can make a thread about that but this one is ridiculous. if slc goes d2 all roads lead to lufkin and then you can make one about that one

I'll take it under advisement. BTW, there already is a SLC/ET thread.

[texasboy]

yeah i see, but keep in mind thought the bracket isnt official yet there is still a chance for them to go to d2 and go against lufkin which will probably be a televised game

Oh sorry. SV is 5 on some sites. 4 on some. I think they are 6 or so on this one. Thats 2006. Judson is on the way up. Did not mean to SV the post, just pointing out a fact you made about being beat up after playing 4 games against a good team. Something that takes place in some districts. Kind of makes the playoffs a little harder.

I wish I understood your 26-5A is #1 obsession...

SV is by a mile the best team in the district over the past 5 years... There isn't any debate at all. SV is a perenial top 5 team in the state... So why waste your breathe lauding the accomplishments of the schools that have NOTHING to do with you?

We don't... We know we beat up on our district every year.. Big deal... In fact, I would argue that your 'tougher' schedule prepares you better than teams with soft schedules... So saying that we just don't know what it's like having to fight through that tough district every year doesn't hold water with me...

Both teams have accomplished amazing things and can be proud of the different paths they have taken... Why can't it be that simple?

A mile? Would they not have won a district title every year if that was the case?. Its never simple. And, NOTHING TO DO WITH SV? LOL, 5-5 has you thinking funny. Anyway, just the first time I have seen a SLC person say that tough games will beat a team up. Wanted to point it out. Here I go SVing another thread. Gotta love it. Im done now. Moving on.

No, tough games against a team that's as physically bruising as ET will beat you up.......... BIG difference...

Oh yea. I forgot, SV/Judson type teams are wuss teams. Horrible at hitting. Not very physical teams when you really think about it. Kind of teams that do not wear teams out...

[dragonsdaddy]

The semi-finals are televised this year? Last year's SLC/Lufkin semi-final wasn't.
it will be announced later that there will be at least 1 po game per week all during the po's. the decision as to which game will be at the behest of the entity providing the coverage. i would imagine that slc v lp would proably be the choice in week 15, were it to be on the docket.

my sources say it'll be fsn.

[toonman]

I know and so little time to make a decision. It is such a close call. I think people will leave it to just before kick-off before committing to their decision. We want to make sure there no last minute injuries or anything which might affect the outcome of this game.

[ktfan2005]

42-13 slc

[Sakatha]

[TexanPride]

I really do hope that SLC comes into this game as cocky and arrogant as some of you SLC fans posts. My daughter works at a store in Southlake Town Square and last night after their homecoming parade she heard some of the Carroll players talking about Northwest - they are a little unsure what to expect...acting a little worried. Could there be an upset in the making?

Coach Dodge does'nt let them take anyone lightly...I'm sure he has them thinking Northwest is the greatest team on the planet...now us posters..we live by different rules...:D

[Grapeguy]

Probably not. But Coach Dodge has a much shorter leash on his players than he does on the posters here. He would never let his boys think they could waltz through an opponent based on reputation alone.

BYW, congrats on the Texan program being on the upswing. Look forward to seeing your new stadium next year.

No chance of an upset. Coach Dodge and the players are too 'professional'. Yes the fans are cocky and have high expectations, but the coaching staff keeps the players in check.

The game will be just another 'day in the office' for SLC, with Justin 'put to the sword', by lots points for SLC and very few for Justin.

What a great glimpse into the mindset Coach Dodge demands of his players.

[TexanPride]

I'm in no position to predict an upset....you are all probably right on the money - Southlake will win in a route. I think every team the comes in to play SLC dreams of an upset and then by the end of the first quarter are staring at their cleats. I know coach Dodge teaches the kids to hit them hard and run up the score as quickly as possible to take away the emotional element - pretty smart coaching...steal the will and you take the fight out of 'em. I think the NW program is good - but not great. I am still bothered by the way we played Grapevine a couple of weeks ago - I still can't figure out that game plan...what were they thinking??? We should have beat them by at least 2 touchdowns and came into this game at 6-0. The next two weeks we will see just what this team is made up of...

[TexanPride]

Yes, thanks to the schedulers we get the pleasure of SLC and CHHS back to back...at least CHHS is at home. I don't have a good read on how we match up against them.

As far as a prediction....I do think NW will score on the secondary. The running game will be non-existent...and coach McAngus will waste his time trying to run up the middle 15 - 20 times.

SLC 48
NW 28

SLC 48

well, since you are new to 5-5A - your optimism shows.

Trying to run up the middle will mean your team will probably have minus net rushing yards. This is where SLC will just rip up your offense. The best shot is trying to get outside and up the sides - but SLC is fast and gets to you quick - so you must have speed. If you have an air scheme - test the corners - but again SLC has speed so you will probably end up with some inside slants and screens. Warning on screens though - the SLC guys are smart and watching - too many screens will probably give then a jump and watch the intercepts - and did I say speed - if they grab it - it is gone.

welcome to 5-5A - it's been a tough few years for the rest of us.

If NW does score 28; it will in 4th Quarter when the second and third string are on the field.

[TexanPride]

Yes, that is a testament to the defense. They are awesome against the run. We do have a pretty good running back in Drew Ashley. Although he is not having the same success as last year (Close to 1500 yds rushing & 23 TD's), as teams are prepping to stop him, despite that, he is having a pretty good year though: 136 - 565 & 6 TD's 4.1 Avg. If they can get him outside & in the open field he will have a big game.

Our QB Will McAngus has similar stats to Riley Dodge:

McAngus: 103-165-3 1,264 yds 15 td's 62.4%
Dodge: 90-143-3 1,489 yds 19 td's 63.8%

Other than SLC excellent defense against the run, I believe the difference will come down to special teams and turnovers. NW will shoot themselves in the foot at least 1 to 2 times a game. SLC is awesome in taking advantage of other team's mistakes.

It definitely doesn't help that we are playing you at home on your homecoming. Talk about stacking the cards against you....

So you are suggesting a Dragon win by (only) 7 or 14 points?

[drgnbkr]

So you are suggesting a Dragon win by (only) 7 or 14 points?

I think he predicted 48-28

[TexanPride]

No, I think Southlake will win by 20 (at least) - depending on how many mistakes NW makes. All I was saying was that NW has a habit of making at least 1-2 mistakes a game that give the other team an advantage. Their defense (which isnt' too shabby themselves), has been able to minimize the damage so far....except for the Grapevine game, where it came down to atrocious officiating - 2 blatantly bad calls on Grapevine's 4th qtr 2:00 minutes to go touchdown drive - a pass reception that was clearly out of bounds and backfield holding on the screen pass that went 40+ yards for a TD. NW did a terrible job of running down the clock and their play selection on their last dirve was questionable at best. They settled for a field goal attempt, which was missed, giving GV the ball back with plenty of time left. the bottom line is the SLC is the better team here, but NW will give them a pretty good fight. I think it will be a tighter game than most people are expecting.

Since this board doesn't get too many Texan posters, we don't know too much about your team other than their W-L record & the stats for the QB & RB. What's their strength on defense? Have they forced many turnovers so far? Who are their best players on D??

[TexanPride]

They are pretty good at stopping the run themselves. Their pass defense is almost identical to SLC's in yards allowed. Ricky Broxton has 5 INT's so far. They have some very quick LB's and they take away the outside as well as anybody. Look at the stats and you see NW is second in the district in defense. Don't even try to run up the middle on them.

Tre will.....(try that is)..

[dragonsdaddy]

Tre will.....(try that is)..
it is the rare team indeed that improves their stats after a game with the dragons. everyone who wants to brag about their stats should have us last on their schedule so at least for 9 games, things don't look so bad. of course 23 out of 24 teams in the po's the last four years have had the displeasure of ending their schedule playing the dragons.

[ScottS]

Nate's boy, Tre, will definitely try to run on NW's defense. Tre has close to 900 yards so far this season. Should be a good matchup.

[TexanPride]

It will be interesting....the last 2 games NW has given up 55 & 19 yards rushing

[rams55]

i think the next two games will prove that northwestern is a great team. i think they will make the playoffs

will they beat SLC .... no

will they beat CHHS.... no

but they will get great looks from both teams and it will prepare them for the playoffs in 5a. hopefully they will go d2 because from what i see d1 loks just about insane as of right now

[StarmanDX]

No one in this mediocre district could touch SLC. This game will be over at halftime just like all other SLC district games. I say final score is 59-10.

But there goes the Star-Telegram again, hyping up yet another team as a team that can upset SLC. They did the same with CH/Haltom.

[TexanPride]

Week 7 Prediction: SGP 35, LD Bell 7

SGP has a defense?

[ScottS]

I think every team the comes in to play SLC dreams of an upset and then by the end of the first quarter are staring at their cleats.

Sometimes its doesn't happen until the end of the 2nd quarter.

[DodgeBallFan]

Only because we have played almost perfectly in each game since the opener, I think we will struggle a little in this one. I am betting NW will be able to run the ball just a little better than our competition has thus far.

CSHS 21
NW 10 H

CSHS 42
NW 17 F

I think our starters stay in until mid 4th this time.

[SLCDad]

Yes, that is a testament to the defense. They are awesome against the run. We do have a pretty good running back in Drew Ashley. Although he is not having the same success as last year (Close to 1500 yds rushing & 23 TD's), as teams are prepping to stop him, despite that, he is having a pretty good year though: 136 - 565 & 6 TD's 4.1 Avg. If they can get him outside & in the open field he will have a big game.

Our QB Will McAngus has similar stats to Riley Dodge:

McAngus: 103-165-3 1,264 yds 15 td's 62.4%
Dodge: 90-143-3 1,489 yds 19 td's 63.8%

Other than SLC excellent defense against the run, I believe the difference will come down to special teams and turnovers. NW will shoot themselves in the foot at least 1 to 2 times a game. SLC is awesome in taking advantage of other team's mistakes.

It definitely doesn't help that we are playing you at home on your homecoming. Talk about stacking the cards against you....Welcome to the board and we will welcome all the great Northwest HS folks to Dragon Stadium tomorrow night. I've seen your great new stadium from the road and I look forward to seeing it from the inside next year.

Regarding your analysis of the game, you forgot that Riley Dodge has over 600 yards rushing. Plus, his stats come from playing less than 3 quarters per game.

SLC will dominate on offense and they will dominate on defense. Any difference in special teams play won't impact the game all that much. I predict 42-7 by halftime and garbage yards and scores after that.

[DragonBand06]

I really do hope that SLC comes into this game as cocky and arrogant as some of you SLC fans posts. My daughter works at a store in Southlake Town Square and last night after their homecoming parade she heard some of the Carroll players talking about Northwest - they are a little unsure what to expect...acting a little worried. Could there be an upset in the making?
Is this my Aunt from Trophy Club???:D

[DragonBand06]

It will be interesting....the last 2 games NW has given up 55 & 19 yards rushing
Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but haven't we given up like 61 yds rushing all season?:)

[TexanPride]

Well, even after SLC kicks our butts tomorrow night, at least we have something to be proud of - our new stadium is definitely awesome...top of the line. Now if only the district could get the deal with Pepsi finalized so we can get our JumboVision installed.

Hey guys, even though I know SLC is leagues above everyone else and will no doubt treat us like a red-headed step child and whoop us good, NW is feely pretty good about our step up to 5A. We're 5-1 so far, and should have been 6-0 coming into this game...not bad at all for a team that alot of people paid no attention to before. Now teams are taking us seriously!

Don't even try to run up the middle on them.Comparison of the stats is risky since the SLC starters are usually gone by mid 3rd quarter.

Only three teams have scored on SLC in the first half this year and none of them got more than 7 points.

SLC has outscored it's opponents 196-20 in the first half so far this year.

One thing that makes SLC great is their ability to take all comers seriously. SLC is cocky in week 0 and in week 16, that's simply the aura they project. Best of luck against a top team in the nation.

Good start in 5A! We did pretty good, our first year in 5A too!

[ScottS]

You are getting a JumboVision? Nice!!!

I wish we were getting one.

[SLCDad]

Good start in 5A! We did pretty good, our first year in 5A too!So did we.

[DragonBand06]

So did we.
See his location. ;)

[SLCDad]

Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but haven't we given up like 61 yds rushing all season?:)Yes . . . if you include garbage yards at the end of the games.

[SLCDad]

See his location. ;)ooops. Why did I think he was from CHHS? (I see now that CCHS is not CHHS).

[TexanPride]

So since we are new to district 5-5A, who is SLC's biggest rivals - Grapevine, CHHS?

I imagine the every team's fantasy is to beat SLC, but what about actual rivalries between the other teams?

Traditionally GHS has been our rival although depending on your definition of a "rivalry" some would say that it has grown away from that.
Off the field: GHS and CHHS are the major ones that come to mind.

[my3sons]

Seems like GV is still the biggest rival. I also understand that GV did some painting to Dragon Stadium the other day. Unfortunately, GV seems to think that they should paint red all over the SLC campus. 2 years ago they did that to SLC and Dodge hung 61 on them. I wonder if Dodge will shoot for 70 this year?

[Phoenixrising05]

Grapevine is traditionally the biggest rivalry...partly b/c they're the only school in the district that has actually beaten SLC in the past...and partly b/c of the proximity of the schools.

The biggest rivalry IN the district though, is probably between Grapevine and Heritage. It's a dog-fight EVERY year b/w those two. Killer atmosphere at those games.

Curious, how many INTs has your QB thrown this year?

Oh, and welcome to the boards and 5-5A....Congrats on an impressive season thus far!

They also did it last year; I remember we had a "field trip" from Gov't class to go look at all the graffiti...
Some of it was funny stuff, examples to follow:
"You have no soul!"
"I hate rich kids", and then one pane of glass over: "I'm rich too...":D
On our cafeteria window somebody wrote "Have a nice lunch." I was like "Ok, thanks!"
LOL

[TexanPride]

Will McAngus has only thrown 3 picks...2 were tipped, the first one he threw (against Burleson) was a gift to the DB - right straight into his arms.

Comp/Att/Int/Yds/TD's/Pct
103-165-3 1,264 yds 15 td's 62.4%

[rams55]

the kids at CHHS call the SLC VS CHHS rivarly "THE MONEY BOWL" because no matter what happens in the end its still a bunch of rich kids on the field

but yes gvine is traditionally the SLC rivral and gave SLC a pretty big scare last year but since SLC GHS and CHHS kids all grow up together and live together they just want to beat the tar out of eachother

[zippy]

All 4 sub-varsity teams beat Northwest tonight. In 3 of the games NW didn't score a touchdown. Makes me wonder what tomorrow night's game is going to bring? Dragons defense too strong for the Texans. SLC runs away with it.

also heard they spray painted some pictures in the press box (frames)

Week 7 Prediction: SGP 35, LD Bell 7

SGP has a defense?

I don't know how much attention you have paid to 5A football in the past, but last season SGP's defense just might have been the best in the state. The only team to beat offensive powerhouse Trinity, holding many teams to very low yardage totals, and having 5a defensive player of the year in Malcom Williams. Our offense wasn't quite there but if they were we would not only have beat Plano but gone much farther in the playoffs.

We lost all 11 defensive starters for this year but are still having good games defensively. The only team to beat us is Trinity. Our defense is young but talented and quick. We frustrate spread offenses. We eat spread offenses for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I would love to see any 5-5a team(including Carroll) have a shot at our defense. Not saying we would beat Carroll, but they would probably face the best spread-offense extinguisher in the area. We could hold them under 42.

[Maxthedog]

No team has done so yet this season.

SGP has not PLAYED a team that runs the spread even close to SLC.
But I agree, SGP holds SLC under 42. They only get 41 :)

[ScottS]

5 hours to kickoff.

[Phoenixrising05]

haha good point...In fact after you mentioned that I went back and looked up SGP's results for the last 5 years...they haven't even played ANYONE in that period that runs an offense like SLC. haha Guess it's easy to say that SGP's secondary would rip our O to shreds when you haven't ever seen it lol.

Never one to stick with the flow. I don't know why I like that term " hanging points" on someone. Does football own that? I never hear the Rangers hanging 11 on Mussina( cuz it never happened) or Jordan hanging 53 on the Knicks.

And what is the minimum points you must get to qualify? Did the Cards hang 23 on the Bears? Nope- doesn't work . It's got to be 50...Man Law!

[drgnbkr]

40 something might qualify if you shut the other team out!

[green day]

You're teetering though. If you win 37-0, I don't think you hung 37 on them so be careful with that 40. May depend on the defensive reputation and amount of pre-game trash talk

[TexanPride]

OK, so I was pretty close on my prediction of 48-28. Final score 45-21. This game was much closer than the score indicates - the officiating in this game was absolutely atrocious. The officials handed SLC two touchdowns because of penalties - 1 was a pass interference call that set up the 2nd touchdown that put SLC up 17 - 0. It was a 3rd and long situation and the ball sailed over the head of the receiver along the sideline - totally uncatchable. Flag throw about 3 seconds after the ball fell incomplete. The other was a perfectly defended ball when SLC went for it on 4th and 11 late in the game. NW got called for pass interference again. The ball should have been turned over on downs, but Carrol keeps possession and scores a couple of plays later. This game was much closer than the score suggests.

I saw calls go both ways. Northwest benefited from the most penalties SLC has had for as back as I can remember. I saw the Northwest side booing loudly at least twice when the officials actually got the call right from where I sat. I also saw a blatant pass interference call missed. It goes both ways.

Northwest couldn't score when they needed to. SLC did. It's just that simple. If I'm not mistaken, SLC scored a TD on every possession except one punt and one FG.

Having said that, Northwest is an outstanding team. They totally deserved their 5-1 record coming in. My prediction is that the Texans win the rest of their district games.

The game might have been closer if your RB held onto the ball on the first series in the red zone and your boys didn't drop two easy balls on their second series to go three and out.:)

[Favpack]

Hey Drgnbkr - how many games were going on over there my man?:) I've heard about 6 wildly different takes.

But, the same result in the end.

[SLCDad]

:)

The game might have been closer if your RB held onto the ball on the first series in the red zone and your boys didn't drop two easy balls on their second series to go three and out.:)
The game would have been closer if the Northwest defense didn't let SLC drive 99 yards in the last minute of the first half. That was the dagger in the heart. It was over after that no matter what the refs did or didn't do in the 2nd half.

[TexanPride]

Totally agree with you there. I said a few days back NW shoots themselves in the foot 1-2 times a games...something they could not afford to do against Carroll. I am also frustrated by the game called by our coaches....why they kept trying to run up the middle is mind-boggling. If I'm not mistaken, they also tried to pass out into flat about 5 times for negative yards - arggghhh.
But what really got me was when we went for it on 4 and 20 and they ran a running play for about 5 yards - what were they thinking when we were having so much success throwing the ball??????

[TexanPride]

Well, at least we kept your starters in the game until the 4th quarter!:o

[SLCDad]

Well, at least we kept your starters in the game until the 4th quarter!:oYep. I think Northwest is as good as any team SLC has faced this year and that includes Colleyville Heritage and Rockwall who will both be playoff teams. Northwest played very tough and never gave up. Their will was never broken. The fans stayed with the team until the end.

[DrEdward]

Two items to comment on here tonight. First, congratulations to the Texans on playing a solid game for the most part against the Dragons. The deep passing was pretty impressive. However, the officiating was not really an issue one way or the other. Carroll had numerous holding calls against it as wella s a few pass interference calls. The Texans had a few pass interference calls, but not much in the way of holding. Other than the half time, which went about 10 minutes long, the game was moved along pretty well by the boys in the striped shirts, considering all the passing going on out there.

Earlier the debate had been who was Carroll's biggest rival. Historically it has been neither CHHS nor Grapevine, but Coppell. Up until this season the Draogons and cowboys had met every year for 40 years. After going 4-36 over the years, the cowboys decided to get off the horse and refused to play us in football this season. If I had to pick a major rival now, it would probably be the ponies from GHS. But the way CHHS has been behaving the past two seasons, the panthers could rapidly be moving up on the list.

Man I couldn't believe how loud their fans were even when it was "over" after half...Usually when i'm listening on webcast, I can tell if a play is in the Dragons favor before the announcers call it, just based on the fan's volume in the background...NOT tonight it was loud no matter what happened

The radio guys said that Northwest covers the largest AREA in the state (school district)...true/false?

That's too bad as they're the #2 scoring offense in the state right now (scored 61 tonight) and I think #3 or #4 in margin of victory. Would have been an interesting game!

I don't know if it is THE largest, but it covers something like 220 Square miles. We're very proud of our fan base - we always fill the stands at every game - home or away. I am surprised by the lack of visitor turnout at our home games - both Keller and Richland had poor showings.

Well, it looks like we may get to see them in the playoffs, assuming we go Division 1. Based what I saw of NW this evening, I am now thinking that NW beats Haltom and Carroll does D1.

thank you. its just i dont know, theres something wrong, thats killing us and we cant exactly pinpoint it. its all little stuff that adds up


david pierce wouldnt be ours anymore. he left for bigger better things, not sure where to. he arranged last years show i think. pierce wrote a lot of stuff and arranged a lot of stuff, he'll be missed at carroll. the last thing he did for us was, right Ring of Fire parts for the band. its "dedicated to Dr. Presley and the Carroll Senior High Marching Band"

40 something might qualify if you shut the other team out!

Absolutely! When you hang 560 yards of offense with 32 first downs..it's a hangin....:D

Congratulations to NW for playing a great game. Definitely the best performance vs SLC this year. It will be interesting to see what NW does the rest of the way and in the playoffs. I'm guessing they are D2.

A couple of other observations. The Ford TD reception was one of the best plays of the season. Didn't think there was a chance that he could get all the way to the end zone after the catch. Great job eluding and breaking tackles. Also, nice game for WR Chris Brainard. Glad to see he's just a junior.

Northwest proved a lot. They are a rising program and will make the playoffs this year. They didn't quit despite being hammered in the first half. Credit their coaches!
