Final:

JV 17
Falls 14

Congratulations to the Falcons. There are no excuses from this Eagles fan - the Falcons won this game fair and square and even had more penalties than us I'm pretty sure. They just plain outplayed us though. Our defense had a couple of great stops but on the other side, not much was happening. It wasn't so much that our offense wasn't doing well - it was that JV's defense was playing some great ball.

The game ended on an unbelievable 50 yard kick - it could have gone 60 as perfect as it was. Kudos to the JV kicker too. The Falcons deserved this win and I wish them much luck in the playoffs - they should do well (I hope they do well too:) ).

Sometimes a loss is a good thing and I think this is the case - gets the Eagles back in the frame of mind they need for playoffs. Makes them hungry again. Looks like we might end up in a tie with Fair for the championship but that's okay - they are good people to share with:o

I forgot how it felt to lose - it's been a while. It does not feel good and I'm sure the team isn't feeling so hot right about now:(

That was a tough one. I was listening to TSRN and it sure sounded like the ref's were a bit flag happy tonight. Seeing how hard JV's defense played us I knew they would be up for you guys. I think this game should show everyone just how competitive our district really is.

Hey you were not kidding about that team - they have a very good defense. We did lose a starter on defense but really, that is not an excuse for this loss. I give all credit to JV for the win not blame the Eagles for the loss - they were outplayed tonight.

man what a great game I am a ex-player from JV and I was truly impressed with the play of JV. Bibbs is a legit back and should run wild nxt year. I remember last year he struggled hit the hole hard and ran sideways too much, tonight I saw how much he has improved I can tell he has working hard. And that kick was impressive for the kid only being a sophomore I believe. Go Falcons

Only a SOPHOMORE!! Boy are we in trouble next year!! We have mostly seniors and everyone else in district has a lot of underclassmen...it won't be pretty. Is there a way to have 5th year seniors in high school:rolleyes: ;)

Just hope they all go easy on us next year:)

Did JV have the wind to their backs on that 50 yarder, and if so how strong was it?

I know in a different thread I stated I wanted JV to win to help out Cy Fair. That was said in fun, and I still believe Cy Falls wins the district as if that matters anyway. The important thing is to get in the playoffs, and Falls and Fair are already in.

Sorry to hear of your sorrow this week. Who does Falls play next week?

That's why I said what I said last night. The new crop they have coming up this year hit hard. I my opinion the hardest hitting team we have played yet. They bounced Sam around a few times to. From what I remember their offense shot themselves in the foot quite a few times in our game. Plus our defense really came to play that night.

No I want Sam to move on up to the next level in 2008 although it would be kinda of nice to see him live and in expensively for a fifth year. ;)

That was meant for OUR Seniors;) We are losing most of our team this year - scary stuff there. I guess that's why we didn't purposely run up the scores this year - paybacks are hell.

There wasn't much wind tonight - just a kid with a very strong foot:eek: .

As for the title, that isn't the end all be all...it's nice but, even if we don't get it and Cy Fair gets it outright - good for them. Then we all happily go on to playoffs.

We play Cy Springs next week - I think you will see a more focused team - possibly with fire coming out of their eyes!!

I was just looking at the projected brackets and they have JV meeting Katy - I do NOT want to miss that game if it actually happens!! JV may just give them a very good game - they are very impressive and JV will want to avenge the previous loss to Katy;)

Nope, don't want to miss that one!! I would, of course, have to back the Falcons (sorry KT's - just this once unless we play you!!) - we 17-5a'ers are family through thick and thin.

Sorry to hear of your sorrow this week. Who does Falls play next week?

JV brough in their long kicker(Davis, I think is his name) for the winning kick. He is their kickoff man. Nelson is their regular kicker. As previously mentioned in the thread, that kick would have easily been good from 60-65 yards. It sailed thru about half way up the goal posts, right down the middle. Just a great pressure kick after Falls called back to back time outs to try and ice him. He is BMOC next week!
Falls did not come ready to play this game. Thats really unacceptable, because no matter what the records are, the JV game is always a war. The coaches have to accept the blame for that.
Take nothing away from JV. They were much more physical than Falls, and they just flat out whipped their butts. Uncharacteristically, Falls lost their composure in the first half, committing several personal fouls, and just couldn't recover. This played right into the Falcons hand.
Hopefully this will be a wake up call for Falls. You can't take ANY game for granted. It will be an early exit from the playoffs if you show up not ready to play. Although its really hard to go undefeated in district in 17-5A, Falls had it there for the taking.
That brings up next week. Do you think Cy-Springs wants to end the season winless in district? They will be ready, especially seeing the way JV took it to the Eagles last night.

Not trying to be a "homer", but in my opinion, if 2 teams have the same record, and 1 team beat the other team, it shouldn't be classified as "co champs". If you beat the team head-to-head, you should be the undisputed district champ.
In this case, if Falls and Fair win next week, Falls should be district champions.
Not making excuses for Falls. They should have taken care of business last night against JV. Then they could have won it outright.

Trainer Dad-

I know and you know it's "hokey" but, if Fair and Falls end up tied in District record, they will be "co-champs" according to the district. This happened to us last year I think with Cy-Creek. We had beaten them head-to-head but they were still crowned a co-champ.

I agree it's dumb, but that's how it is. I'm a Cy-Fair dad, and I'd still look at us as the second place team.

All that said, we've still got to beat Cy-Ridge and that will be mighty tough!

11-05-2006, 09:24 AM
The most pathetic performance of a playoff-bound team I can imagine. Giving up 450+ yards and gaining less than 300 is inexcusable with plenty of blame to be shared equally in this - from coaching to players. This is the second straight flat performance and makes one really think if they have what it takes to play into December. The talent level (equal to others in the district) is not great enough to overcome lack of heart and intensity - period. Football is a game of emotion and execution and there was absolutely zero on both counts last night. All aspects were poor - from being dominated on both sides of the LOS, to poor tackling, to receiving, to throwing and overall scheme and execution.

It looks like individual goals and putting the spotlight on "ME" are taking precedent over team goals and sacrifice. Everything on every play needs to be left out on the field. For a senior-laden team, there are no "do-overs". Unless this attitude changes, stick a fork in this team - they're one and (over)done. :mad:

..."Sometimes a loss is a good thing" - is only ever said by fans of a team which has just lost. I doubt the coaches have been telling that to the players and I have never heard anyone say the opposite ‘a win is a bad thing’. I think you are trying to put a positive spin on a negative situation.

Very true statements! Nobody can be taken for granted and you could just see frustration on the part of the Eagles. I haven't seen that kind of defensive pressure on them all year. I think they need to FOCUS on Springs next week and not take THEM for granted. They need to come into every game hungry and wanting to win. I know they wanted to win last night but JV wanted to win just a lot more.

As for Cy Fair playing for the Co-championship and the comment "not so fast" which was above...I'm not sure where anyone said they were not going to be playing for co-Championship. I believe they will be if we both win next week but I am of the opinon that if it is a 2 way tie - the head to head winner is the outright champion. BUT, that is just a small title anyway - the playoffs are far more important than that title. Just as we needed to beware of JV, Cy Fair needs to be ready for Ridge...they are very tough on defense. Right now, at this point in the season, several but Fair and Falls are out for playoff spots - nothing is a given.

Falls did not come ready to play this game.
If this is the case, I am glad I was not there to see it. You are right, teams have to come to play every week in this district. And losing composure during a game? Doesn't sound like a deep run for this team this year. Teams that make deep runs find a way to overcome these pitfalls during a game and hold it together. Falls possibly could have made it to the state game last year had Katy fallen apart when pressed for the fist time.

I am not in total agreement with Mom on this one. I would think there are graduated goals for teams during the season to keep them focused along the way and each one is important in the yearly journey.

1. Get yourself into position to make the playoffs.
2. Win district (OUTRIGHT).
3. Make it to Regionals.
4. Make it to the Final 4.
5. Make it to State.
6. Win State.

Falls' name has not been on that district trophy for several years. It should have been VERY important to this team and coaching staff to have taken care of business to accomplish that (OUTRIGHT). If that is not important, then which one of the remaining goals are not important enough for this team?

If you tie at the top you are Co-Champs. Head-to-Head is only used for playoff seedings and/or advancement. If a team as talented as CyFalls can't go get the last 2 district wins to be undisputed district champs after they've already gotten by CyFair and CyRidge, then what's it matter if they're champs or co-champs? Didn't seem to matter to them...

So not true - just read the comments Cy Fair coach Pustejovsky made last week - he said the loss to us appeared to be a good thing - it gives a team perspetive...if you just breeze through district, you can be bit in the butt come playoffs. I am not a sore loser from last night - I didn't even get too upset. They need to be ready for playoffs and playing like last night will not get it done. They need a fire in their eyes...it wasn't there last night. A loss puts it all out there for them - you either go into it with the attitude and playing of last night or you rise to another level. I'm not worried about the Eagles though -they always play at a different level in playoffs.

And Booster - Cy Falls was a tri-champ two years ago - I think their name was on that trophy along with Fair and Creek. As for the Championship thing - if we share with Cy Fair - what's so bad about that? They are a very good team this year and there should be no grudges against that. The game we had with them could have easily gone either way.

Oh, is there a chance CyRidge goes D2? I think they could make some noise if they do. Physically, they were the best all-around team we've played (in my opinion) and they will only get better with that sophomore QB.

I wonder if a loss in the first round of the play-offs will still be considered "a good thing". This is still spin on a negative situation. A loss is never a good thing.

Many are very upset about the cheap shot that put our MLB out of the game on the second series.

I understand it is being investigated.

Well, if my math is correct (subject to error!) I believe the 4 playoff teams from 175a are set:

Cy-Falls
Cy-Fair
Cy-Ridge
Jersey Village

All 4 have 4 wins or more and no other team has more than 2 wins going into the last week.

What remains to be seen is the seeding of Fair and Ridge on the D1 side and the seeding of Falls and JV on the D2 side.

If Fair beats Ridge, Fair is #1 seed. If not, Ridge is #1 and Fair #2.

If Falls beats Springs then, no matter what JV does, Falls is #1 seed and JV is #2. However, if JV beats Strake and Springs beats Falls then, based on head-to-head, JV will be #1 seed and Falls #2.

There is always end-of-season drama in 175a.

Is my math correct?

I wonder if a loss in the first round of the play-offs will still be considered "a good thing". This is still spin on a negative situation. A loss is never a good thing.

Let's just agree to disagree on this. A loss can be a positive thing and I think I could find a few who agree with this. However, it depends when the loss occurs. We have clinched a playoff spot and are trying for a title - okay, so with a win, we would have been assured of at least a co-championship...didn't happen. The real prize is further down the road. A district title is nice for a patch on your jacket and for bragging rights but if you lose that first or second round, well you get my drift. The reason last night could be a positive thing is that it gets them all re-focused on the job at hand. I don't think they went in there thinking that JV was going to be a pushover but they didn't play like they were out there to win either...can't do that in playoffs. This will get everyone's head back in the game - coaches AND players. We didn't lose anything last night by losing...there are many teams who would love to be in Cy Falls position right now - they aren't going anywhere.

Didn't seem to matter to them...
Have to agree on this. I guess I just have too much competitive spirit in me. If there is a prize to win and I can do something to increase my chances of winning that prize, I go all out for it. Because of my mental make-up (which scares some people) I can not accept anything less than total effort and do not understand those who can.

Any way, let's all get our "*****ing" out of the way today and then head into the final week with a more positive attitude and hope it rubs off on the kids.

I feel like all of the Eagle's drives have to end in a touchdown. It seems that we should consider taking 3 points every now and then when we're down the field in a tight spot. We have to the talent to make touchdowns and kick field goals, but we don't always use all of our assets.

No grudges with other teams who earn the right like Fair has done this year. It is that competetive part of me that says when you have a chance to set yourself apart from the rest....TAKE IT! I would think it also happens to be a good attitude and approach when going through the playoffs and trying to achieve what your capabilities are. Of course, they could also just show up and see what happens in week 11, or 12 or 13. But something tells me with that approach they would never see week 12.

Not making excuses for Falls. They should have taken care of business last night against JV. Then they could have won it outright.
O well..It is clear who the best 4 teams are in my eyes now. Fair, Falls, JV, and Ridge...between the teams there has been some great games and all of the teams will do damage in the playoffs...

Let's just agree to disagree on this. A loss can be a positive thing and I think I could find a few who agree with this. However, it depends when the loss occurs. We have clinched a playoff spot and are trying for a title - okay, so with a win, we would have been assured of at least a co-championship...didn't happen. The real prize is further down the road. A district title is nice for a patch on your jacket and for bragging rights but if you lose that first or second round, well you get my drift. The reason last night could be a positive thing is that it gets them all re-focused on the job at hand. I don't think they went in there thinking that JV was going to be a pushover but they didn't play like they were out there to win either...can't do that in playoffs. This will get everyone's head back in the game - coaches AND players. We didn't lose anything last night by losing...there are many teams who would love to be in Cy Falls position right now - they aren't going anywhere.

I will agree to disagree and I will concede that you can gain positives from a loss, as I have no doubt a loss can be learning experience. But a good thing?
You will have hard time convincing me on this. I will take a win any day over a loss.

u have three of them to pick from

And we were 6-4 last season - we still went further than Northshore:eek:

Falls plays their best ball in the playoffs IMO.

It looks like individual goals and putting the spotlight on "ME" are taking precedent over team goals and sacrifice.

At the beginning of the season, I didn't notice this but in the past two or three games, I have seen the ME aspect rearing its ugly head. The coaches need to help them understand that the only teams that get to the pinnacle are those who play as teams! Maybe they have been reading the press clippings too much - maybe they should take a sabbatical from myspace and get in tune with what could be the biggest thing to happen to them in their athletic lives thus far.

I thought JV was part of that tri champ two years ago when they went 8-4 only losing to falls and fair in district.

It might have been - I am getting last year and the year before mixed up - last year the playoff teams were Fall, Fair and Creek. The year before, I know that Falls and Ridge were there but as for the 3rd team, now I'm not sure - maybe it was JV. I didn't go to any games for the 3rd team and there has just been too much football since then:D

Didn't note the sarcasm - no. My point is that we lost last regular season as well and we didn't do too badly in playoffs at all...even with the loss to Katy where we led for most of the game - just some silly coaching errors that cost that one (i.e. KICK the field GOAL!!!!). I predicted back in July or August that we would end up 7-3 - it's just too tough of a district not to. I guess if we win Friday, I hit the nail on the head with that one.

Okay, you know how I am about my team. But, you are a good guy and a very knowledgable football fan and I should know better than to get touchy with you:) . I'm so glad we won't have to meet up with NS because, if we played like last week, it would be bloodbath!

Maybe it's because I am, in fact, a mom! I see kids out there on the field and I just want them to do well and I tend to defend them when someone is saying something about them...it's just how I am.

So, now I know you were joking - you have a very wicked sense of humor;)

And don't let that 0-6 fool you - they have given a few teams some tough games and we still have Josh Lewis to contend with. Should be a good game.
