Abilene vs. Kansas City Rockhurst

[boto24]

Rockhurst is #1 in Missouri Class 6A with a 3-0 record. Abilene is 4-0 this year and last year's only loss was a 35-30 decision to SLC. The game is being played at Texas Stadium this Friday at 7:30. Who will win this game?

[Redneckn]

Rockhurst will take it. It will be a close game, but I think Rockhurst will play better. They will be motivated by the fact that Texans give no respect to non-Texas teams.

[Favpack]

Wow - talk about low-profile - I didn't even know about this game - where are all the KC posters? lol - AHS has not looked good the past two weeks - don't know how anyone could say otherwise - squeeking out wins over Brownwood and Belton. Maybe they're a young team making small improvement week over week - I hope so, but if this KC team is dominant they may well take the Eagles.

[PurpleNation]

Taylor Potts will come to life for this game. Look for him to throw around 3 or 4 TD's and get solid play from that black wall defense. As soon as Mizzo walks into Texas Stadium look for them to be shell shocked by the large Texas crowd. Making mistage playing real tight and nervouse will be Rockhurst's biggest weakness. There biggest will be to come to Texas and play a team they have never seen before.

Abilene 42
Rockhurst 21

[FootballJunkie]

I hope Abilene plays better than they did against Belton last Friday or they will leave Texas Stadium with their first loss. From the way they played they should already have one.

[Eagle Hombre]

I think the X factor in this game will be the infamous Texas Stadium Crown. After a 9 hour bus trip the rock will only have time to suit up and warm up. AHS has played at Texas Stadium at least 4 times in the last year.

I think Rockhurts is flying since their website says the team isnt leaving until the day of the game.

BTW, here's what a Rockhurst fan had to say about their team over on another board...

I went to high school at Rockhurst and have kept tabs of them as a few of my old classmates coach there now.

First, the defense. Defensively, this team is stacked. They have 5 division one recruits on defense. Strozier (a DB) is probably there most talent laden. You can pretty much count on very few catches from Abilene's main receiver....I forget his name. He hasn't committed anywhere yet, but Notre Dame, Texas, USC, and Florida are on his list. Jackson (S/QB) is very solid. He's also very smart (32 on his ACT's) which helps as a safety. Not sure of his cover skills, but you don't need to exactly cover when you're a safety. Very fast. Sal Capra (MLB) is a very heavy hitter. He hits with a "thud"...and guys go down hard. 6'1, 240 and has very good balance with good feet. Hard to block due to his size and athleticism. David Belfonte is another two way player for Rockhurst (RB/DB)...only plays DB on occasion but is also being looked at for RB by Kansas State and Missouri. A very good baseball player also.

Second is the offense. This is where Rockhurst is much better and has improved over the last year. Jackson runs an option attack with Drew Temple (Tony Temple's little brother) who is just a sophomore. Much like Tony (he was ranked the #2 running back by ESPN two years ago and now starts at Missouri), Drew Temple is very quick and powerful for his age. He needs seasoning, however......not exactly patient with his cuts. Belfonte is a very good runner also and really is the heart and soul of this team. The beauty of Rockhurst's offense is that besides Jerome Jackson, Connor Teahen is a junior that spells Jackson (actually, he takes 55% of the teams snaps) and will be the best QB to come out of Rockhurst, period. He's got a cannon for an arm but isn't quite as mobile as J.Jackson. Teahen has an ability to see the field very well and he'll need to against a pretty stout Abilene D. His main weapons are Strozier who I mentioned above and Josh Walker, another junior that has D-1 receiver written all over him. The offensive line goes 235, 270, 225, 295, 285. Not massive, but not small either. Look at the two guards.....they have offers for D-1 but only from second tier schools.....Toledo, Ohio, Marshall, etc.

All in all, this is a pretty talented team, perhaps the best Rockhurst has had since 2002 when the afforementioned Tony Temple led them to a final number 5 national ranking...if you take those for what there worth.

Good luck to Abilene, Rockhurst, and safe travels for all going to the game.

God Bless.

[raidercheerdad]

My pride would love to go with AHS on this one, but after their play the past two weeks against mediocre teams, I have to say Rockhurst. I really hope Coach Warren and Taylor Potts take it to them and prove me wrong!

Good Luck AHS.

[jtk1519]

I know for a fact that AHS was overlooking Brownwood and that is why that game was so close. I'm hoping the were overlooking Belton a bit as well. I guess we'll see.

[Texasfrog]

I've read some pretty strong things about this Rockhurst team. Even their coach claims this is the best team his ever had. That means something when a coach will go ahead and claim this early in the season that this is probably his best team "ever."

I've seen Rockhurst in the past a few times and they remind me alot of Katy. Usually big line that is well coached and they just pound you and then Play/action you to death. They follow up with a pretty stout defense. Sounds like this Rockhurst team has a stiff defense.

Abilene High can win the game. They'll need to have a very balanced offense (passing and running) and not blow scoring chances.

With Rockhurst driving to Dallas.. It should be a tough hard fought game probably going into the 4th Qt before someone seperates and wins it.

[Eaglewatcher]

No excuses for the Brownwood game. The only bright spot was the play of the defense that has been consistently good. The first half of the Belton game was the same, with the defense keeping us in the game. The second half however we finally came to life, and played much better on offense. Much more to our potential. Also special teams have been a problem, but I think that has been solved with a few personel changes. For those of you who discount Belton, if you haven't seen them play this year don't be too quick to dismiss them. Their running back had about 500 yards in their first two games and the QB is real big and a good athlete. He runs very well and passes ok. The reminded me a lot of the Midland Lee backfield from last year, but without as strong a supporting cast as Lee had. I really think you will hear more about them as the year goes on. I may be wrong, but they looked like a very good team that was going to improve with each week they play. They have a long way to go confidence wise after going 0-10 last year, but look to be making good progress.

[warbird00]

I heard they were driving, dont remember from who or anything but that is the impression i got. Regardless, I think AHS will have a big venue advantage...not only because they have played in Irving so many times, but also used to these larger venues. In fact I think all the 'external' stuff favors AHS, playing closer to home, NCAA rules, ect. But I have to say that based on the way the Eagles have been playing, they may be on the loosing end of a very long night. They MUST improve their performance if they expect to win this game or any more games this season. I would put our defense against their O, but considering what is being said about the Rockhurt D, the eagles must play offense better.

[Lobo9498]

I saw Rockhurst play ECA two years ago. The week after Longview came from behind and beat them, shutting them out in the 2nd half. Rockhurst was pretty impressive. Evangel had to take the ball almost 80 yards for the game winning score, but they did it. It was a well-played game. I half expected ECA to come out swinging after Longview dominated them the week before. But, both teams played well and ECA came out on top. I have never seen Abilene play, but I will be rooting for the Texas team to win.

I voted for Rockhurst though, because I believe they will be more than what Abilene can handle. We shall see though. That's why they play the games on the field and not in the polls or on the internet. Good luck to both teams.

[pack0808]

I would have definitely picked Abilene last year in this game but not this year. I hope i am wrong!!

[supercentex]

I think Rockhurst is going to take it..............

[Redneckn]

I can't believe there are Texas people saying (in public) that they expect a non-Texas team to win..
AMAZING!!!

Really though, Rockhurst has had some good teams the last few years and from what I've read this year is no different. Will the game be aired or anything? I'd really like to see it, but I will be on the road Friday nite.

[Eagle81]

I would have definitely picked Abilene last year in this game but not this year. I hope i am wrong!!

My thoughts exactly. Abilene High just hasn't shown the dominance this year that they did last year. I think AHS can win if they can eliminate turnovers and get decent special teams play. They've struggled with that this year. So I pick the Rock in a close one 17-14.

Look there "AINT" no doubt that Texas is the best High school football State in America. Proof is in the results (past seasons and present). The quality of teams "Depth" is second to none.. I dont care if you're talking about Cali, Ohio, florida or whoever.


But, there a few select teams across the nation that can come play with some of the best of Texas from year to year.

Rockhurst is a great program from Missouri. They've won several State titles and they're always one of the top #3 teams in the State every year. As well with some of the Blue Spring and Hazelwood teams from Missouri.

Their already blowing everybody away in Missouri this season and their coach is even saying this is probably his best team "EVER." Do I think they can come in and play Abilene High and give them a game. "YES".

Abilene is alot like Tyler Lee this season. Probably somewhere in the (#13 - #17) range in Texas.

Now saying all of that. It will probably be a pretty good game. Rockhurst coming to Texas will give Abilene some travel edge points. It should be a tight game and Rockhurst probably has a slight edge but I think the game goes into the 4th QT before some team puts it away.

If Rockhurst went into "ANY OTHER STATE OFAMERICA" and played their #12th place team.. It would be freaking 60-10 blowout favoring Rockhurst. That includes Cali, Ohio , Florida and ect.

Tyler Lee traveling to Ohio and playing Colerain and only losing by 15 pts. Thats not bad for a team that traveled to Ohio and played probably (Ohio's #1 team). Watch what Colerain does to the rest of the teams they play until they get to probably the Semi or Title game. They wont even be football games. They'll be blowouts..!! This last game Colerain played against Lakota East was suppose to be their toughest District game. It was like 38-3 at halftime !! Watch the rest of their competition level. I promise you Texas has some "JV" teams that could play Colerain a tougher game then some of those district games Colerain plays for the next 5 games.

Tyler Lee is going to have to scrap for there lives and hopefully make the playoffs here in Texas. They'll be in football battles almost every Friday night.
(competition level is higher).

Look at West Monroe, La. After Longview destroyed them. What have they done in Louisiana. Their killing everyone and will continue killing everyone. WM probably wont even be in a football game for the rest of the season. Longview will be challenged a few times before the seasons over...

Hollywood-Chaminade , Fl is (2-1) after the REL game to Florida schools. They lost to Booker T. Washington like 24-14.. (Booker T. Washington is ranked like 5th in florida and Chaminade is like #10) overall.

Chaminade has killed two other teams. They werent even football games.

Springdale , Ark would beat 95% of the team in Texas this season. Their that good and one of the top #25 team in the nation. 100% no doubt.

Rockhurst.. we'll see this weekend. This game will be a very good guage to see how legit they are. I think their pretty good because their coach says this is probably his "Best team ever" and they've had some solid teams in the past with solid talent and coaching. I wont be suprised to see Rockhurst up in the Springdale Ark level. Probably slightly behind them overall but up there.

Both Springdale, Ark and Rockhurst, Mo are probably legit National #35 teams.

[dragonsdaddy]

many non-abilenians saw the huge losses to graduation from the eagles and predicted a back step, at least early in the season. it hasn't yet cost a win, but the weaknesses are there noe the less. these games are doing exactly what a good coach should desire- expose problem areas and give everyone opportunities to adjust and improve. this game will be no different. rockhurst sounds like a more than adequate test for the eagles. they need to remember, that whatever doesn't kill them will make them stronger. gl to them.

[Texasfrog]

That Belleveu Washington team is 100% legit also. They could come to Texas and play many of the top Texas teams down for down. They would win some and lose some.


The Midland Lee game vs Clovis East coming up. Clovis East is considered one of Cali's top level teams. Midland Lee is probably somewhere in the #20-#30 range in Texas if not slightly lower.

What will this say "if Midland Lee beats Clovis East ?"

PS. For the recored I'm predicting Midland Lee to win that game also. Big black eye for Cali football if Midland Lee beats one of their Top #6 teams.

The game being played in Midland will also favor Midland.

[dragonsdaddy]

the persistant heat will be a factor for any team from areas not so blessed. it is supposed to stay hot thru the weekend, which means 100+ in ts, just like last night. it may yet be hot in mo too, however.

[boto24]

Here is an article about Rockhurst's program and history:
http://www.showmenews.com/2005/Sep/20050908Spor007.asp
Should be a really interesting game.

[Red Raiders]

Wow, I didn't know Abilene is playing Rockhurst until just now.

[CCHS77]

Somebody slap me awake! I'm almost certain Clovis is a New Mexico team. Am I wrong or is frog confused?? :confused:

Not confused here amigo.. right name wrong State for you. Midland Lee is playing Clovis East from California... but there is a Clovis in New Mexico, not sure they have a High school named Clovis East however.

Midland Lee, Tx vs Clovis East, Ca.

[Red Raiders]

Wow!

Yes I thought it was just us and longview playing out-of-state team.

[Redneckn]

I like it when Texas teams play outta state teams. It get the board all riled up. Plus it gives us a chance to see/hear/read about other teams... More so than we would just picking up the paper.



Texasfrog. You need to clean out your private message box..

[svrangerfan]

I am going to the AHS vs Rockhurst game while holdng a good thought for my SV Rangers. From what I hear about Missouri high school football Rockhurst would not have to be real good to be dominant. There are probably 15 or 20 teams here that would beat them or come close as opposed to only a handful in Missouri. I'll report back here Friday night after I get home. I picked Abilene but I could be wrong. If Rockhurst throws the ball alot the crown will definitely affect them.

[bullrock]

Thanks for clearing that up frog. I would have lost a months pay if I had someone to bet with.

[mojo61]

I would love to see Abilene beat Rockhurst & Lee beat Clovis, but based on what I've seen so far this season, both Ab. & Mid. Lee aren't anywhere as strong this season as last (both teams could improve; I hope they do). So, I hate like heck to say it, but I think Ab. & Lee will lose to these out-of-state teams.

Ab. is still extremely talented, but something hasn't clicked yet--I don't know what's wrong--they are struggling. As far as the polls go, both Ab. & Mid. Lee have been highly overrated so far this season (IMO). I don't see how Ab. made it into the top 25 this wk. Before the season started, I was picking Ab. Hi to win state. Still, I'll be checking the score by radio & cheering Ab. on. I hope Ab. & Lee both prove me wrong about this. But no one should pick Ab. tonight based on the performance of last yr.'s great team.

They are our district mates, & we have alot of pride in our dist. (perhaps too much sometimes), but things are not starting well for 3-5A so far this season--& that's the honest truth (we might as well admit it).

I do think the district is down some this year. But, I think both games will be good games. I do think Rockhurst is very legit and has a good chance of knocking off Abilene High in Dallas.

I think Midland Lee is going to beat Clovis East, Ca. I dont think Midland Lee is as down as alot of people think. They've played two of the stronger teams in the State of Texas and over the last few weeks some of the younger players have stepped up ( it sounds like). Plus, playing in Midland..

We'll see what happens.

Finish up strong !!! Dont let down in the 2nd half. :)

PS. How is Abilene doing it ?? Air , Ground or both.

[Warbird]

Pott's unofficial first half stats are 18 out of 29 for 175 yard and 2 TDs. Not bad at all. I dunno how Bell is doing.

Fontana.. I also said that Booker T. Washington was the #1 team in Dade Co. They're also beating up on everyone. Both teams are top teams in Florida. Probably both top #7 teams in the State of Florida along with St. Thomas Aquinas, Jac Bolles, Lakeland.

Is Fontana, Ca where you are from ?? I think so.. What's it going to be like next week when a Texas team that already has 3 "L" beats one of the Cali primadonna teams ?? Can you say... "Black eye for Cali."

We'll see what happens...

Also.. in case you didnt notice.. Tyler Lee is a salty Texas team.. But probably not an upper echlon team this season. I mean they got blown out by Trinity last week in Tyler no less.

I'll still say that Chaminade blows out the rest of their opponents until probably the State Semi or Title game.

I believe they have destroyed two other Florida teams like 45-7. Ouch..

I'll keep you updated on the Midland Lee vs Clovis East game next week ok.

TFrog, I am not sure that will happen but I will be pulling for the Rebs of Midland Lee. I was monitoring a California football forum and some of their posters were talking about wanting to see that Bellevue WA team that had just hammered one of their CA schools come to Texas for some "real competition". We must get some respect over there with someone at least. :cool:

That Belleveu, Wa team is legit. I watched that game (Belleveu vs Long Beach Poly). Last season that same Belleveu, Wa team beat De La Salle to end their million game win streak.

I think Midland Lee is going to do well. If everyone for Midland Lee is healthy they should do well.

[Eagle Hombre]

Speed Kills -- I was at the game last night and it is my belief that Rockhust is not used to seeing the team speed that Texas 5A football showcases every week. Their defense was dragging at the end of the first half, having to chase the AHS ball carriers all over the field. They made some sound defensive plays but the ones that broke for Abilene were underlined by the disparity is the speed of the respective opponents. On the defensive side of the ball, the Rockhust QB was constantly pressured to scramble to avoid getting hit. His receivers were blanketed by the AHS secondary. This was a well played game, against a quality opponent, that sets the table for the district portion of the schedule for AHS and hopefully on to a deep run into the playoffs.

Go Warbirds -- :D :D :D

[Eagles52]

I'm really proud of the way we played last night. And as the news papers say "The Eagles have found there identity" and or offence comes hard with our outstanding defense, that hasn't lost anything since last year. I don't want to start anything bad with other people out there, but I suggest that the major teams in Texas should watch out, because were back!

[Eaglesnest]

I think Abilene High may have supprised a few people last night! with very solid play on both sides of the ball, there Offense and Defence made a statement that said we can win in 05 and will !. Abilene is gaining momentum for district, but there are some very tough foes in this district, like Midland Lee, there record 1 - 3 may not show it but they are better than you think! and you will see that when they play Clovis East Cal next week. M Lee has played some of the top teams in the state. Midland High is 4 - 1 playing very good ball also they beat a very good team lastnight the Amarillo Sandies 35 - 6 . Permian is all so playing very well, and shut out a good team Lubbock Monterey 23 - 0 they are also 4 - 1. Then theres Abilene Cooper another very good team ! I think they are underated, they have started to jell and are playing good ball also with a record of 4 - 1. Then there those Odessa Broncos they are playing quite well with a record of 5 - 0 and gaining momentum also, this distict looks to be very tough this year, so there should be some very good games with in district this year. ;)


Go Abilene High!!!!!! :)

Football turns boys to men and men to boys again. :D

[mojo61]

IAb. is still extremely talented, but something hasn't clicked yet--

O.K., so it finally clicked. I thought I better come on & admit that I was wrong in picking Rockhurst. My earlier post did say that I hoped that I would be proven wrong, & I am very pleased that Ab. won. Now the big question is: was Rockhurst over-hyped or is Ab. really that good? As I stated earlier, Ab. is a talented team but hasn't been consistent in non-dist. play. We'll see how it goes in dist. Should be an interesting dist. race in 3-5a; we're all either pretty good or all just barely mediocre teams--I honestly can't tell yet. But congrats to the Eagles on the win.

We'll see what happens...

Also.. in case you didnt notice.. Tyler Lee is a salty Texas team.. But probably not an upper echlon team this season. I mean they got blown out by Trinity last week in Tyler no less.

I'll still say that Chaminade blows out the rest of their opponents until probably the State Semi or Title game.

I believe they have destroyed two other Florida teams like 45-7. Ouch..

I'll keep you updated on the Midland Lee vs Clovis East game next week ok.
everyone trinity has played has gotten blown out so that's not saying much.that's like saying every team that played gpns 2003 was not upper echelon because they killed everyone they played in texas.so just wait on saying how bad rel is.

How about you just wait on saying how bad Chaminade is

yes Rockhurst is overhyped - They are an average TX team but a powerhouse in Mo.

Your right, there is no possible way that AHS could have improved or been a half way decent team all along. It could not have been because AHS finally got things back together after the last two games. Nope all the polls are totally wrong, AHS doesnt deserve to be anywhere near the top 25, despite their talent and potential. I could not have been that AHS was just flat better... :rolleyes:

Don't scare me like that!!

I was surprised by this quote from a Rockhurst player who said "Our key guys having to go two ways really took a toll on us." I'd think a Missouri 6A powerhouse team would have very very few players, if any going both ways.
On the Rockhurst web site, it said that they were leaving KC, early Friday morning. I've driven that route many times, it takes about 8 hours to travel that distance. The x factor on that trip is the traffic in Oklahoma City. Lately its been pretty good. But if there's a wreck....ay caramba :mad:

I dont know much about Rockhurst, other than ECA played them a time or 2, but they may be a private school.. That would possibly explain them being 6A and having kids go both ways.. That would also explain them being bad to the bone in Missouri. (on one level or another)


I am shocked to learn the score. I honestly felt that Rockhurst would win.. I stand corrected. Congrats to Abilene.
