Will lack of comp. affect SLC in the PO?

[Phoenixrising05]

I realize 5-5A hasn't been very strong the last couple of years, but there were at least "decent" teams to test the Dragons...and there was also at least one "fluke" game to "gel" the team: Sherman gave us a scare in 03, Keller in 04, and Grapevine last year. Also, in the last several years, I don't remember many (if any) games where the starters didn't even go in after halftime. But, looking at the rest of the schedule, particularly Keller and Richland, it appears there isn't even a possiblity for a "fluke," and will be even more games like Haltom where the starters are benched 2 quarters into it. For those of you who have been following the game longer, do you think this could bite SLC in the butt, especially if they have to play Trinity in round 2?

BTW: This is a genuine question, i'm not trying to demean the other teams or make Carroll sound better than they are...I am truly curious how the lack of competition will (if at all) affect them in the long run.

[BigFanSLC]

from what i've seen so far, its going to be hard to stop Dodge/Newton running or Dodge just passing.... but hey you never know i think the O has a lot of confidence brewing and its showing expecially the O Line and the Running game.

clearly you didn't take the time to read my entire post:eek:

[leanderdad]

The only way it would hurt them is if they get in a close game and not having experienced a "last second" have to win scenario. But then again they could probably handle it just fine. Unfortunately it is a question that can only be answered in hindsight.

Despite what many think, Colleyville is an example of Carroll completely shutting down an otherwise explosive team. Colleyville hung 70 on Richland the week prior to the Carroll debacle, and hung 49 the week after. Colleyville giving Cedar Hill all they wanted, is another indication of just how finely tuned Carroll is. The offense and defense are getting quality reps in these district games and are headed toward the playoffs with healthy players and tons of confidence. After destroying Rockwall, Evangel, Colleyville and Haltom..all thought to have potent offenses prior to playing the Dragons, I think things are in good shape.

[dragonsdaddy]

no!!

[yankee]

if carroll and trinity both go undefeated, they probably won't play each other right? 2 undefeateds aren't supposed to meet that early now if i recall.

But while Colleyville is tough for the 5-5A mediocrity (all of district except SLC) the question is does this level of competition help or hurt Carroll getting prepared for the playoffs?

So, Colleyville came up against Carroll and found that their normal arsenal wasn't enough. They did not have experience dealing with a much better O and D.

So, by extension, while Carroll is smacking the other 5-5A teams, when they come up against a quality team - will they be the Colleyville (i.e. be overwhelmed) or will they continue to be dominant?

In the past, we've seen Carroll get tougher in the playoffs and they would find themselves in some challenging situations but deal with them. This year will probably be the same. An early ET match-up may mean that Carroll gets an early challenge without as much play-off experience (for the team this year - clearly SLC has the most play-off experience in past four years:D ).

Will come down to preparation, perseverance, focus and the 'right stuff'.

Again, look at where Cedar Hill is ranked..Colleyville gave them a tough game, so CHHS is not one of the "5-5A softies" as evidenced by their other games..Trinity woulld be a fine challenge, if it happens, but Carroll should be ready.

[Grapeguy]

On the post-game radio show last week, Dodge was asked whether it would hurt the team down the road if the starters didn't have to play four quarters. "No" was basically his answer.

One upside to the blowouts is that if your starters are only playing half to 2/3 of the games, the chance of injury is reduced proportionately too.

[Favpack]

Lack of competition can lull some teams to sleep. Lufkin has been known to lose interest from time to time. SLC does not play to it's level of competition - they are very machine-like in their destruction of foes. They usually have one letdown game a year - not sure if that happens this year. And, it will have no bearing come PO time.

If they play ET in round 2, I'd be more worried about ET being fully ready than SLC. The Haku will have no effect on SLC.

[SLCDad]

Will come down to preparation, perseverance, focus and the 'right stuff'.SLC is overflowing with all four.

[SLCDad]

The Haku? This must be the Maori war dance done while reciting Japanese poetry.:D

[KT2000]

I don't think it'll effect them in a negative way. The Dragons are obviously experienced enough in big games to be ready to go when the time comes to play a four quarter football game.

If Trinity and SLC do get to play this year, I'll be one of the 40,000+ in attendance at Texas Stadium.

[FeeltheHaka]

With the spread offense, I think it could help them. In my opinion this is priceless time to hone the timing of the QB and recievers. Also, the players will be more healthy and injury free.

[WestlandTiger'95]

as said a THOUSAND times before....SLC will not be in any kind of trouble until they face a team that can shove the ball down their throats for four qtrs and keep the ball out of their hands... If it is a close, physical game in the fourth qtr, then you "MAY" have a chance to win....MAYBE!!!
Right now from where I sit, there are only two/three teams that can MAYBE pull it off. All you spread teams dont stand a chance against the masters.

[BigJim331]

5-5a teams may not be as strong as some would like but the Carroll starters practice every single day against some of the toughest competition found in the Metro....and that is the SLC practice squads. After watching more than a few of their practices; I am convinced that the SLC bac-ups could start on many of the other teams. As such, they do a terrific job of preparing the starters for any game they are going into.

So even though the Friday Night Lights crowd may thin out by the third qtr; it is the Monday through Thursday group that is honing this team...

[zippy]

Not at all. All this does is help them. They come into the playoffs fresh, and injury free on the most part. Many of the teams they face have to give all they have, all year, just to get to the playoffs. Not only are many wore out, but some are missing key players. The only way it it will hurt them is if they come into the playoffs expecting it to be a cakewalk like every game up to that point.

It is amazing how the quality ratchets up each step you go in the playoffs..from what I've seen, the teams start getting pretty even from the quarterfinals on...prior to that can be some cakewalks and some tests..you never know.

[KT2000]

Agreed, Westland.

Lufkin's the only spread team I would even think about picking against the Dragons.

[Phoenixrising05]

Thanks for all the input, some really good points. I hadn't considered the injury aspect...smart stuff. And I also hope that person who made the comment about Allen was joking haha

Will Lufkin be tested at all in the remaining regular season?

[KT2000]

The Woodlands has a solid team that can make them work. The Woodlands has a very good defense.

[Favpack]

Yes - the Woodz and Lufkin should be a very good game - electric atmosphere in a Thurs. night TV game.

[zippy]

The Woodlands are going to be a very good team dispite their record in the preseason. I didnt know if that schedule would hurt or help them. Up to this point, it has for sure helped them. They are doing great.

[TheRowdyRanger]

I realize 5-5A hasn't been very strong the last couple of years, but there were at least "decent" teams to test the Dragons...and there was also at least one "fluke" game to "gel" the team: Sherman gave us a scare in 03, Keller in 04, and Grapevine last year. Also, in the last several years, I don't remember many (if any) games where the starters didn't even go in after halftime. But, looking at the rest of the schedule, particularly Keller and Richland, it appears there isn't even a possiblity for a "fluke," and will be even more games like Haltom where the starters are benched 2 quarters into it. For those of you who have been following the game longer, do you think this could bite SLC in the butt, especially if they have to play Trinity in round 2?

BTW: This is a genuine question, i'm not trying to demean the other teams or make Carroll sound better than they are...I am truly curious how the lack of competition will (if at all) affect them in the long run.


If we look at the last 4 years this discussion can likely find the same answer as it has in the past. Even though SLC has had weaker district challenge ever since it entered 5A, it has proven that it can hold its own in the playoffs each year despite that. I think it does become harder for them to gauge just how to play each team in the playoffs, being as how they usually breeze through the regular season. I think this is eveident from the past 1 to 2 seasons...like last season, they had like 2 or 3 really close games before getting to state. So I think it will continue to get interesting...as the years go on, I think more and more teams will start figuring out how to claim victory over SLC. And SLC will have to prove is strength to keep this from happening.

[ScottS]

5-5A is 17-7 in non-district play.

Yes - anything can happen on any given night, but the teams you have mentioned are mediocre at best. When you are taking about the best programs; SLC, ET, Lufkin, Katy, SV etc, etc - they consistantly blow away teams by huge scores. Where SLC is concerned; I think you can compare common opponents’ results and you will see a history of where team A narrowly won/lost over team B, SLC has blown away team B.

[aCm 07]

I honestly don't think it will matter that much, SLC is just that good. Like people said earlier, they will probably more injury free than their opponents, and besides, it's SLC we're talking about.

ET and SLC would be an interesting game in round 2. Like KT said I think Lufkin is about the only team I'd even give thought to about beating the Dragons.

SLC has a way of making the district look really bad.
Trinity was supposedly in a tougher district last year when SGP beat them and IMAC easily could have.

In the playoffs SLC was beating IMAC 49-0 at the half and it took SGP overtime to beat Denton Ryan. Trinity beat Ridge 35-20 in a decent game.

If SLC was playing in Trinity's district, it would look weak too.

[ktchamp97]

I was mostly just ribbing you a little...Carroll has been amazingly consistent. Still, it only takes one off night.

The reason SLC, ET, Lufkin, Katy, SV, etc...consistently beat up on teams they're supposed to beat up on is that they don't put much stock into things like common opponents' scores. For the most part, the coaches at these programs have done a masterful job of convincing their kids that any team really can beat you, no matter what their record, if you don't prepare properly.

Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean that Carroll is immune to an early upset. I don't expect it to happen this year, however.

I'm glad you said that and not me!

I think that we match up better with ET this year than we would have last year. Our run D is amazing this year. I am not saying we would shut down ET's run offense; however, I think for 3+ quarters we could slow them down to scoring on only 1/4 of their drives; whereas, SC should score on 1/2-2/3 of their drives. Eventually ET's size will take its toll, but by then it may be too late.

as much as I would like for us to face LP again, the thought of a ET/SC matchup followed by a N.Shore game down the road for the winner would be a nice change. we shall see. Last year we didn't know D1 or D2 until midnight of week10.

anyone think that this year is flying by?

I saw Trinity play SGP - IMAC and Ridge Last year. Trinity had a weak pass defense.

If Ridge can score 20 on them last year, Carroll could hang half a hundred. I would have taken SLC hands down last year.

This year too. Also remember that Colleyville Heritage barely lost to #5 Cedar Hill. SLC beat Colleyville Heritage 56-7

To answer your question, Yes this year has flown by.

The run D is impressive and Trinity has not faced a defense like Carroll yet, however Carroll has not played a team like ET in at least 3 years. The Katy team I saw last year was not near as physical as ET is, I cant see a holding Trinity to under 4 yards a carry for 75% of a game. The pounding that the D-Line would take would be something new for them. The ET boys are used to the pounding and I believe would be good enough to sustain a consistent 4ypc during the course of the game. Factor in the ability ET has in the passing game then you have a offense that would be very difficult to stop for a full 4 quarters.
I know Carroll has done some impressive things against the run this year but lets not confuse the Rockwall rushing attack to ET.

Nice way to prove your point or lack of substance.

hey man, I too would be embarassed after proclaming to be a history buff and making on more than one occasion a comment about the state of north virginia.
if you read the actuall football stuff you will see how you were the one who jumped in and asked for the comment.
As far as watching football, I also have probably watched as much football as anyone on this board since 1988, that includes Trinity, Carroll, I-Mac, SGP or any others.

why are you quoting that? am I missing something in that post?
Lets see, someone mentions they wished they could forget the Carter administration, I mention how I was in Georgia, Jimmy Carter's initials are J.C, J.C is from Georgia, Georgia is a beautiful place, it's shameful that J.C came from Georgia. Please fill me in on what was stupid about that?

[BeauxGeezy]

I for one will never let the whole "North Virginia" comment go.
And if I ever say something that dumb I hope you never forget it either.
I mean c'mon dawg....you said North Virginia?....just tell me you were really,really,really drunk and we can move on. Otherwise....North Virginia will follow you the rest of your days.

For the record...there is no such place as West Carolina either.

There's not? What are you going to tell me next, there is not such thing as East Dakota?

Please show me where I proclaimed to be a history buff - I never claimed that. When I stated north Virginia, I soon realized my error and corrected it.
And you and your friend want to harp on that?

Just plain stupid...

Don't let it go - It can follow me around forever if that makes you happy. Won't bother me a bit if your life is that pathetic.

Why don't you get out of FF's arse and breath a little.

There was at one time a movement to create the empire of Texas. During the Civil War an enterprising group of farmers formed an army to invade the western territories that comprised what is now New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, California, Nevada, the Dakota’s etc.

The plan was to conquer those territories and then declare them part of the greater Empire of Texas. See as the Union was embroiled with a little uprising in the South, this group of hardscrabble men thought that the Union would not notice that the Western half of the now United States would be under the control of The Empire of Texas. All went according to plan with this army winning several battles. The only problem was that those battles alerted the Union to this plan. Once the Army of the Texas Empire meets the 7th Calvary the idea of the Empire of Texas faded as quickly as the remnants of the Imperial Army ran back to Texas.

There is a book on this episode of American History called "Blood and Treasure" by Donald Frazier.

I could very well be pathetic...but I know this... North Virginia is a fig newton of your imagination.

I meant figment...I caught it and I corrected the error.

if you want I could go back and pull up the post. you were spouting off crap like you were going to give me a history lesson cause you tutored in history, but you would have to charge me and what not. I think you would rather me not bring that back to the top.

Next time dont be so quick in correcting grammar, you are calling us pathetic for bringing it back up however you wre the one that wanted to correct a typo I made. Why is it that your so called typo is ok when me forgetting a simple N is not?
I mean there is a big difference when refering to something as North or West. Not so much in "a" and "an".

If you want to read about something truly inspring read about Terry's Texas Rangers. That might have been the most charasmatic group this country has ever known. Those guys were the epitome of greatness :D

Oh yeah?

Well steers and queers....

Wait, you nancies don't have any steers.


wow...that was original.
You would think that a guy who runs around inventing states would have a better imagination.

[zippy]

I was mostly just ribbing you a little...Carroll has been amazingly consistent. Still, it only takes one off night.

The reason SLC, ET, Lufkin, Katy, SV, etc...consistently beat up on teams they're supposed to beat up on is that they don't put much stock into things like common opponents' scores. For the most part, the coaches at these programs have done a masterful job of convincing their kids that any team really can beat you, no matter what their record, if you don't prepare properly.

Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean that Carroll is immune to an early upset. I don't expect it to happen this year, however.

Another thing they do is make sure their kids are not terrified to play a top team. Several teams are capable of beating the top teams, but they just can't take the heat. The good coaches are very good at making sure their kids know its just another game, just another team. 11 on 11. Some of these coaches talk all week about playing the #1 team in the state. The WR's are this and that, the RB is the best in the state, the defense is the best around! Blah Blah Blah. At the end of the week all you have been hearing is stuff that makes you believe that you cant beat the team. I dont blame them for losing..

You are still bitter about being wrong years and years ago? Man you were just waiting for the chance to get me back huh?

The "stupidity" level on this thread was already off the "charts". You Just "launched" it even further.
It's all stupid - You brought me down to your level of stupidity with the name calling.

I guess you are beating me with experience - as the quote states

any time you want to compare GPA's or go head to head in an apptitude test let me know.

i havent read the whole thread but IMO no. Look at SLC and Lufkin the past few years.....pretty weak non dist schedules and they have met in the semis as we all know 3 years straight......

It goes back to a post last year. RIdge got me on my typo when I called him "a idiot" instead of "an idiot" he wanted to bring grammar into this or my lack of grammar. I just simply reminded him that he was the one spouting how he was a history tutor and telling us about the state of North Virginia during the civil war.
I brought it up simply because he made it a point to correct my mistake which I understand but we are all not without stupid comments and that might have been one of the funniest ones ever made on this board.

You can call me an idiot, but don't be calling me a idiot!....:D

That has me all confused... Is it "idiot" or "idiot". Which is correct?
