who do you think was better russell or ponder?

[drgnbkr]

I'll pose as pnthrbkr...Ponder...

[rams55]

THEY ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT QB'S

i love em both like brothers.

i like ponders style of run and gun and i like caseys rocket-laser like arm(thank you peyton manning).

apples and oranges



personally though i think we should have had a 2 qb backfield the 2005 season with ponder acting as the running back and casey throwing and then to throw people off have ponder roll out and throw a bomb

[drgnbkr]

How's it going for Ponder at FSU?

[chpanther]

ok but another question with the offesne that we run who is a better fit ponder or russell?

[Sakatha]

I wanna say too!! :(

Screw it, I will... I thought Ponder was the better QB by a mile.

~DnM

[RicosRevenge]

I thought Casey was better. I think he saw the game better and had a better arm. Ponder gave up on the pass early and it often got him into trouble when he went to his feet early.

I guess I can see that...

I'll be honest about what's clouding my vision. 2 awful performances against SLC that I witnessed, and 1 pretty damned good one by Ponder.

[RicosRevenge]

I understand... what sticks in my mind from Ponder was a fumble against Grapevine his last game that killed us. I hate it that one play kills my memory of all the good things!

i think when it's all said and done, winning is what matters, therefore russell gets the nod. i think ponder will be better in college, btw.

[TulsaHale74]

I think Ponder was more consistent than Russell. Russell seemed to play with a lot more emotion (lots of fist pumping after a great play or TD). However when things weren't going well, Russell seemed to disappear at least as much as a spread offense QB can disappear.

Since there wasn't a good running back the last two years, it was important for the QB to run. And Ponder was by far the better runner being faster and stronger. To me Ponder's injury limited him in the second half of the year and maybe if completely healthy the team wouldn't have had to go to OT against Grapevine where he fumbled.

And while both of their fathers were professional athletes, those of you who know Dave Ponder realize that you don't want that man coming after you. He could destroy you. And he told me several years ago when Jon Ponder was the fastest player on CHHS that he could outrun Jon in the 40, while Jon would whip him in the 100. So since he could catch me and kill me my vote is for Ponder.:D

[bleedblue]

Both of them were products of a system offense and will not do well at the next level.

[drgnbkr]

Boy, I bet thats a popular opinion with these guys....:rolleyes:

[Pantherguy]

I really liked both QBs. Ponder was about as good as an athelete as you will see. Casey had a little more emotion to his game. I think what seperated them is the fact that Casey seemed to be a better leader, the team this year seemed to take on his personality. No knock on Ponder, but Casey really stepped up this year. You could easily argue it either way. Ponder has a chance to play at FSU, though, I think...

For me, its Casey, but with an asterick...I love Casey and I love his attitude, but he really let the pressure of both SLC games get to him. He looked like a completely different player. I think thats the reason many Southlake people on here would choose Ponder. If you take those two games out, Casey was incredible. But those SLC games will linger in my memory when it comes to thinking of his season....

[FeeltheHaka]

I know the thread was titled Colleyville posters, but I would like to contribute:
Russel took them further. The thing that amazes me about Russell is, if you saw him walking in the street, you wouldn't think he is even an athlete. When he is playing sports, it is a different story.

[Texasfrog]

Any rumors on where Russell is going to college ?

[dragonsdaddy]

Both of them were products of a system offense and will not do well at the next level.

and the objective voice of dys-reason answers for all.
thanks.

[rams55]

if you look at the game tape it was a poor call on the field. ponder was down before the ball was stripped from him, if that call could have went our way we would have won that game for sure i think

jon ponder was the fasted kid on that the team that year but if mr. pnder says he can beat him in the 40. then ill never make that man mad, but i dont think he'll do anything to me he likes me to me

[mustangs9]

I guess now since the season is over, we can start talking about this year and next year.:D ...Just curious for CH, the past couple years they have produced some good QB's, their are two people in my mind right now for the starting spot next year.. who do yall think it will be?

[RicosRevenge]

Tyler Little or Steven Hill... probably Little.

I'm less concerned about the QB than I am about the evolution of the rest of the team... running game? D-Line? O-Line? And no matter how good I think Joel Quintinilla and Shane Hilliard are, they have some rather large shoes to fill as receivers.

[mustangs9]

I was thinking the same thing, CV's O-line def. has some concerns along with the D-Line...Couple of good players return, (Hightower, Head,Hillard,Quintinilla,Foster,Gilpin)

[rams55]

next years qb could be hill from what i have been hearing. but if its not then they should do what SLC did with riley and rotate him in every third series because you have to keep that kid focused on football for his senior year and not baseball

the pro's to go with little is that he know the system

the pro's to go with hill is that he's big, can run, and he can throw and if he was to start next year he would be a real stud on a really good 09' team

I still think Guy Tomcheck was the best QB ever to wear a Panther jersey...

[ScottTSU4]

Any news on Casey Russell's recruiting? Where is he looking at? Is he a better prospect as a QB or a Punter?

What about Breece Johnson? Any updates on his recruiting?

[RicosRevenge]

Casey was looking at Stephen F. Austin but nothing in concrete (as a QB).

As for Breece, nothing official... but don't be surprised if you see he and Evan Walker as bookends wearing green.

Joke, Scott? Or serious? He ranks 3-4 for me...

[ScottTSU4]

Joke, Scott? Or serious? He ranks 3-4 for me...

Total joke...If he doesn't get hurt and we beat Highland Park in 1998, leads us to a victory the next week against Carroll (now I'm really pushing it) then past Stephenville in the next game (really , really pushing it) then maybe he's #1.

Ponder and Russell are a close #1 and #2. Followed by Shawn Smith (haha), then Tomcheck at #4.

we are forgetting PEVOTO and FORD you know

FYI Pevoto just asked his girlfriend to marry him and she said yes so i give a toast to them. CONGRATS DAVID PEVOTO

[my3sons]

Johnson committed to UNT today and Walker probably Tues (Jan 9). Nice additions BTW. They join Justin Padron from SLC (UNT's first commit) as the third All State player to commit to UNT. Ironically, all 3 are from 5-5A. Think a few more are coming as well.

Someone beat you to it--it already has been "keyed." :D :D I even saw rolls of quarters next to it. (I know you were just teasing -- as was I). Hey, we have to stick together and root for UNT with all the Panthers and Dragons heading north on I35.

All us "ignorant" Colleyville people have done the annual post-season, kiss and make up with "most" of our next door neighbors... why don't you try a little respect and follow suit?

I'm sorry, I guess I didn't realize that hating a color is the same thing as hating a person. I hate Blue, but I still have friends that went to my rival Xavier University. Grow up.

[RicosRevenge]

C'mon. We even heard your crowd yell it....."we hate Carroll". It lives on in the posts above ("we hate green").

Yeah and we've seen "your" school endorsed banners at the game. Did you REALLY expect any other chant when those were raised up?

Oh, and unless your name really is "Carroll," then it is again just like the color green... a symbol, a name... not a person. Nobody was yelling "We hate ScottS," whether it is deserved or not.

[TulsaHale74]

As this is the Colleyville posters thread, that's a very good point.

Carroll isn't an issue for me. That's just not a game to spend much time on. Play it, don't get anyone hurt, and get ready for the games that can make a difference in the season.

I don't have high expectations for next season at this point. The goal of next season is to beat Grapevine. Winning that one game defines a good season because it's friendly competition for many people in the school district community. It's especially fun for the Colleyville Middle School and Grapevine Middle School alumni families who have been split between the two high schools.

The secondary goal is to secure a playoff spot which means being better than four of the other five teams - Haltom, Richland, Keller, Central, and Northwest. I hope Grapevine can beat all of them. Otherwise the odds are against Colleyville Heritage making the playoffs.

[my3sons]

Colleyville could be a sleeper in 2007. Wouldn't surprise me to see the same 2 teams go D1 and D2.

[mustangs9]

CHHS is losing mostly all of their defense next year, all of their O-line. And not to mention their 2 all state recievers that led them to the playoffs, oh and the the leading passer in the DFW. NW looks to lose alot of starters. It's gonna be a fight for 1st in district with Grapevine and SLC.

1. GV/SLC
2. SLC/GV
3. Haltom
4. CHHS

You may be right. Hard for me to put Grapevine in the top 2 considering how badly their sub-varsity looked against SLC. SLC will beat GV, GV should be the lead contender for #2. CV has a good young group returning and should finish #3. Northwest to get the last playoff spot. Thus, SLC and CV go D1 again.

[TulsaHale74]

Evan Walker signed with North Texas yesterday. It's been posted in the College Football forum but since this thread is for Colleyville posters I think it should be posted here as well.

Read the Star-Telegram article at:Evan Walker link (http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/16464172.htm)

It mentions Johnson, Britt, and Howe (undecided) as well.

GVine will be real good next year...they have everyone coming back (which may be why the sub-varsity looked bad), they will be tough....whoever said Colleyville lost all its defense is wrong, they actually have quite a few returning and played a lot of sophomores last year....they have to replace some skill players on offense and some linemen, but I think they will be tough again next year...their JV was very good to add to the sophomores already playing up...I could see them being a lot like GVine last year...a good team with a LOT of juniors doing the heavy lifting...I expect GVine, SLC, and Colleyville to be the top three (not in that order), with the rest of the teams fighting for the last spot, much like last year....

we have to bring a whole new offensive line in a QB two star recievers gone and its safe to say that a more than half of our defensive is gone it will be tough

Good analysis. Go 1 step further. I picked SLC, GV, CV, NW in that order. You've picked 3 of the same 4 with no order. Go ahead and rank them. You've already made the arguement. Let's see where you go.

[rams55]

CVILLE will be fine and make the playoffs again next year

look for a unique qb situation much like SLC two years ago. also look for a stronger running game. the receiving corps at the VILLE is all around good. of coarse we wont have breece or evan, so look for quantinilla and hillard to step up big.

as far as the o-line it will be a great problem to have right now because there are no gauranteed spots but come around 2 a-days it will be figured out. same with the d-line.

should be a good year next year but an even better year in 08'

I think you are right. 08 team will be the stronger group.

[RicosRevenge]

I think you are right. 08 team will be the stronger group.

Unfortunately, I agree... although since my boy will be a senior this year, I would have hoped for the stronger year in '07 ;) .

CV will definately need to have some people step up to fill some holes, the O-line is a pretty big concern although we have one kid with the size and ability, but needs to get a little meaner (Micheal Wormley), but thats only one.

But hey, these kids are 16-18 years old and can develop quickly, who knows what will happen over the next several months.

[mustangs9]

Who comes back on CV defense? Hightower,Foster,Schnieder,Hornbuckle? CV's junior class is alot like GV's this year but not as deep. Look for this year to be the last good season for GV. JV team was terrible maybe because we like to move up our best sophmores. Our O-line is our main concern I would think with only two players returning, one with two years of experience already. CV is in much worse shape with their offense. CHHS running game will probly pick up next year but they also don't have their 2 all-state recievers that other defenses has to worry about. I highly doubt that CV can just pound the ball with their sophmore runningback. We'll see what happens more towards spring ball. Def. looking foward to it!

Bryan Head may not be able to pound the ball all game long as a JR next year, but it will at least open some things up for a weaker pass offense than what we had this year. Going into games this year, especially during the playoff run, teams knew we were going to pass the ball 95% of the time. If Head can show the running ability he did against SGP in the playoffs, all year long, then the passing game could really open it. I don't worry about the defense. They will be stout with the young guys they have coming back.

I agree with Rico, give them an off season to improve and who knows what happens. Some 15-16 year old kids right now, can use this time to improve into 16-17 year old men by the time the season starts...

Thats true... but it don't make it right!!!

[dragonsdaddy]

Thats true... but it don't make it right!!!

i'm somewhat surprised since they select twice as many on each team. of course the coaches select the all-district and they should have better insight and knowledge about the players than some moron writer from ep or rgv who has never seen any team except slc play. of course coaches also hold grudges and can be politicked.

[drgnbkr]

I don't hate you...

I don't hate you...

you may not but i do know that everyone we beat this year does

Good analysis. Go 1 step further. I picked SLC, GV, CV, NW in that order. You've picked 3 of the same 4 with no order. Go ahead and rank them. You've already made the arguement. Let's see where you go.

I would say 1. SLC 2/3. GV or CVille (whoever wins that game, I expect it to be close as usual) 4. I honestly have no idea, not sure what NW brings back...I think Keller should be better...they were young on defense...

Not a copout answer on the GVine or Colleyville at #2, but I don't expect either team to lose to anyone but SLC, and so the GVine-Colleyville game will determine it, and that game is NEVER a blowout, I would say right now I would give the edge to GVine. GVine will look a lot better early on due to their schedule. We open with Cedar Hill, play a Denton Ryan team that was all juniors and Carroll in the first part of the season, so we will know more about Colleyville than GVine until near the end part of the season (a lot like last year)...

As far as all-district, lot of politics involved, and they vote before the playoffs start (or after the first week), so that would have helped us more, they just don't release the results till all the teams are knocked out....I only had a few arguments...you have to remember they try to spread it around as much as possible...thought Howe should have been first team LB though....that and both Evan and Breece should have been first team along with Cantu....those were the most dangerous guys in the district out there....no one game planned for the Keller kid...

I would say 1. SLC 2/3. GV or CVille (whoever wins that game, I expect it to be close as usual) 4. I honestly have no idea, not sure what NW brings back...I think Keller should be better...they were young on defense...

Not a copout answer on the GVine or Colleyville at #2, but I don't expect either team to lose to anyone but SLC, and so the GVine-Colleyville game will determine it, and that game is NEVER a blowout, I would say right now I would give the edge to GVine. GVine will look a lot better early on due to their schedule. We open with Cedar Hill, play a Denton Ryan team that was all juniors and Carroll in the first part of the season, so we will know more about Colleyville than GVine until near the end part of the season (a lot like last year)...

I agree that Matt should have made All District. Don't know if I would put him over Justin Padron though. After all, the leader of the best defense in the district/area should be the def MVP, as he was. But, Howe should have definitely been on the team. Good kid, good player. Where's he leaning to play?

Read yesterday that it's between Stanford and San Diego State.

I don't think he should have been defensive MVP, just first team at LB...but like I said, all-district is tough because all teams have to be represented, so some kids get left out because a bad teams best player is at a certain position...

From what i hear CHHS has A LOT of important holes to fill. They have only a running back coming back for next year and from whaat i hear the qb situation is a mess. I expect them to make the playoffs but at the 4th seed. SLC will win district again, but not as easy and GHS will get 2nd beating everyone except SLC. GHS is returning all their skill postions and 2 O-line on offense and both OLB's, 1 CB, and both SS and FS on defense.

Good analysis. Cville has a very good JV team that will help fill many of their holes. Cunningham will get them to the playoffs.

The basketball game last night between Colleyville Heritage and Grapevine gave the fans what they came for. The intra-school district contest brings out lots of people from both schools, more than at other games, and the student sections are much more entertaining than at football games because of their proximity. It keeps the principal, three assistant principals, the head football coach, the tennis coach, and a police officer "engaged", and that's just on the home team side. Since Colleyville Heritage was ahead essentially the whole game, one side was more lively than the other. But as Grapevine caught up and could have won in the final minute, it was exciting for all. It was fun for my son to watch a church friend start for Grapevine as a sophomore.

I posted earlier that Casey Russell played with more emotion than Christian Ponder. He displays a lot of emotion encouraging the basketball team as well. Or was that "discouraging" the visiting team;) since the students sit behind their bench?

I like all of the district games but I'm looking forward to the February 13 game at Grapevine.

Yah and im looking foward to Nov. whatever when we play CV, when we show them how garbage their offense really is. We will pound them

I attended the basketball game last year between the two teams and what I saw was boring basketball for 32 minutes and two immature student sections who were unoriginal and uncreative.

im glad to see that your hatred for district 5-5A carries over to basketball as well. I dont think you have any room to talk considering the trash l.d. bell has put out.

did you have any friends at L.D. BELL because it just seems like all you do is go to colleyville events and then bash on em.

i know colleyville is probably way above your caliber anyways so you just dont understand so i suggest you stay in the mid-cities

oh and find some new friends instead of the ones from colleyville who you bash behind there backs
