[CoppellCowboy57]

Euless Trinity vs LD Bell...(beat the Euless and Bell fans to it) sorry bhs its revenge for taking my coppell winning thread last night
A match up between two bitter schools...im sure BHS06 and Trinity fans will have alot to say on this


I think Euless wins by 30

[Trinity Trojan Fan For Li]

Oh the Trinity/Bell or Bell/Trinity game (according to who's doing the talkin'). The bragging rights in the HEB area are on the line and in these games, sometimes you can throw the stats in the trash.

BUT NOT THIS YEAR!

My prediction: Trinity 42 - Bell 7

[raidercheerdad]

Trinity 285
Bell -10(yes - that's negative 10)

This won't even be a football game. Over faster than the REL/Longview game!

Nance runs for about 400 and then gets pulled at the half.

[BigArab]

Trinity 285
Bell -10(yes - that's negative 10)

This won't even be a football game. Over faster than the REL/Longview game!

Nance runs for about 400 and then gets pulled at the half.

I remember the maximum on Madden 96 on Super Nintendo being 287....so I'll say that will be the score.

[CoppellCowboy57]

I hope LD bell wins this game...but I think the final will be

70 to 21 and Euless trinity will score on there first 10 posessions (remind anyone of anything)

[Trinity Trojan Fan For Li]

Trinity 42 - Bell 7
I was trying to be nice in my prediction so it won't come back to bite us on the butt next year!

[bhs06]

I'm going to post now :)

All I have to say is that sometimes things happen that don't go your way. And sometimes there will be strings of things that happen that don't go your way all in a row. That was last night. Now look at the final score. 42-7. It looks bad doesn't it. Well I admit the first quarter of the game was an absolute miserable time. But the last 3 quarters were fun and we all had a good time. But we just couldn't catch a break last night and it seemed that everything went SGP's way.

We started the game with the ball. We moved it well, executing our game plan like we hoped. On 2nd down I believe, Joe was scrambling with the ball and he threw it to a wide open Andre Lampkin, but the ball deflected off the top of our 6'8'' lineman's helmet when he got in the way and Malcom Williams picked it off and ran in for the touchdown. 7-0, no big deal, we have seen it before. Unforutnatley our starting running back was injured on this play after getting hit hard and he was done for the game.

We get the ball. After being stuffed by a pair of runs, we ran a play and Blake Cantu had a step or two on the defender on a post route. It was an obvious pass interference but the refs didn't call it. It was frustrating, but we would hope our defense could make a stop since they were finally getting on the field. We had a good punt into the wind, but it took the worst bounce possible and ended up at our 35 yard line. They only had to drive 35 yards for the next score.

We got the ball back and drove well again, but ultimately were stopped on 3rd and short. We punted... it appeared that Melvin Kelley, the punt returner, touched the ball as it bounced over his head. It rolled to the 1 yard line and we picked it up and went to the end zone.. the ref's called it down at the 1 but Melvin Kelley clearly touched the ball. Oh well, they are at the 1. We stuffed them 3 times straight and they had to punt deep in the end zone. The snap was high and the punter had a hard time handling it. Our Strong Safety came in and was going to hit him for 2 points, but the punter got possession and kicked it quick and it flew out of bounds at the 20 yard line. They called roughing the kicker, we were mad because the kicker didn't have complete possession of the football and we had each right to hit him. They got a break there and the next play their wide reciever was over thrown but our strong safety(the same one who hit the punter) didn't know where the ball was and the reciever pretended like he was about to catch it when the ball was clearly over thrown, so our safety hit him hard and they called a late hit. They took out our safety to give him a break from the ref's because he was mad at them. Next play they ran right to our backup safety for 68 yards. 21-0.

We get the ball, first play Joe gets hit hard and he is done for the game. So we have our backup QB and backup RB in the game, down 21-0 to one of the best teams in the state. We have our biggest game of the season the next week, we have two of our best offensive weapons out for the game. We decided to throw in the towel here and just empty our bench. Our 2nd teamers didn't move the ball real well, and we gave them short fields on each of their next 3 touchdowns. Our 2nd teamers didn't defend too well, but they were faced with short fields. Either way, after that horrendous 1st quarter we all had a fun time and since we had nothing to lose, we were relaxed and composed.

It was funny at halftime, in the locker room down 42-0. All the coaches said were "wow... we didn't expect this at all."

Once SGP got their backups in we moved the ball again and scored. They also called back another touchdown just like they called back the one before, because the punt returner touched the ball and we ran it in but the ref's said he didn't. Final should have been 42-21.. or 42-28 because at the end of the game we fumbled the ball away deep in their territory.

So with that being said, hopefully when we play Trinity next week we won't get so unlucky with everything. No offense to the Trojans but your defense is just not the same caliber of SGP's. No where close. I personally think SGP is going to win the district title and go 7-0 in district play. I think we can score on Trinity personally. Maybe the Trojans will get unlucky, get the unlucky bounces, the unlucky helmet deflections, unlucky calls, and unlucky snaps. You never know, that is why you have to put stats aside each game and come to play. I can say this though, we will be as prepared as ever and we really have nothing to lose, so we will be ready to play!

70-21...wasnt that the score of the SLC/Coppell game last year?

[CoppellCowboy57]

70-21...wasnt that the score of the SLC/Coppell game last year?

*looks around*...no...well yes...but that game was the game I letterd in :), i made that comment in the huddle and everyone looked at me funny...I aslo made a block that sprung a TD late in the game...I knocked over one of there DBs...I was like woah how did that happen

[ths76021]

BHS06, sounds like a lot of excuses coming from you.. If this would have happened or If that wouldn't have happened. I remember in another thread you said that Bell was going to be 7-0 in district. 0-3 is a long way from that don't you think and the future doesn't look any better. Looking at the statistics that Bell is putting up I'm sure you should be looking forward to your season finally against GP. That should be a barn burner and I'm sure many would say that game would be too close to call. You've posted that you should be in the game with SGP. Now, you want to make comments concerning Trinity's defense. What about your defense? I don't see Bell stopping anyone from the scores posted against Bell. Do you honestly think Bell can shut down the Trojan offense? I know you'll say yes, since you have to; being that you play for Bell. The trojan offense is clicking at a 51.5 pts a game with offensive starters yet to finish a game this year. Granted Trinity's defense still needs alot of work, but they've done an adequate job. I suppose the only thing you can wish is for Trinity to get unlucky one way or the other. I doubt it would be based on anything that Bell could do in order to stay in this game.

Ok well THS, we are not 0-3 in district, We happen to be 1-2. BHS did say he thought we would go 7-0 in district, that didnt happen. We have held our ground the best we can, espically considering the learning curve and this tough district. We were narrowly beat (8 yards from the endzone for G.W. TD) by a DECENT MacArthur team, and beat an OK Irving team. The Bell defense will work hard all week to try to find weakness in your play action pass, and the talented dimitri nance/laderrick handy duo. I said at the start of this year to one of my friends that I think the Bell/Trinity game, if both offenses get clicking, would be one of the highest scoring bell trinity games ever. I refuse to think that our teams season is getting worse. We have played the hardest part of our schedule after we play Trinity, and will probably give Nimitz and Coppell good games, as well as Grand Prarie.

[ths76021]

I stand corrected.. Yes, Bell did beat Irving. I suppose we'll just see what happens on the field. No one has ever won a game on paper w/ statistics, Trinity will still have to execute for 48 minutes.

Hi!

You'll hear it twice Friday night.

[bell grad dad]

go Bell !

[TrueBlue]

SGP by far has the best defense in 6-5a -- and one of the best -- if not possibly the best -- in the state -- I expect SGP to beat Trinity...

[Gooseisland10]

bhs06-- you have a lot of time....

[bhs06]

I'm not saying we played well, because we didn't. I'm not making excuses either. We had our worst game of the year. But it really isn't as bad as it looks. We didn't exactly "throw in the towel" in the 2nd quarter, but we kind of sat back and relaxed and called a bunch of run plays to slow the game down and also put in some 2nd teamers during this time. The whole 2nd half was played by reserves which we won 7-0. Its just that many things did not go our way that completely changed the phase of the game. I wonder what would have happened had we kicked off to begin the game, and we made a stop. I think things would have been a little different. SGP had one play of 15 yards or more all night and that was #2's run up the middle at our backup safety who had just entered the game and was having trouble reading the strength call so he lined up wrong. Each play can change the momentum and course of the game, and we had too many plays last night that turned the tide in SGP's favor.

Now I think we may have been a bit intimidated by SGP's defense to say the least. I admit I was a bit, because they were good! First play of the game they sacked Joe about .5 seconds after the snap of the ball. However we will not be intimidated by Trinity's defense or offense. I have seen what our offense is capable of and what our defense is capable of. If we can get our offense to play like we did against Bowie/Irving and our defense to play like they did against MacArthur and Irving on Friday for 48 minutes then I think we do have a chance to come away with the win. We aren't afraid at all.. we are licking our chops. I'm sure the Trojan players are licking theirs as well thinking that they can double what SGP did to us, 84-0 or even 100-0. But I will tell you right now that isn't going to happen and we are going to fight for 48 minutes so be ready. Like I said, maybe you guys will have a ball hit off your lineman's helmet or have a bad snap over the punters head that turns a scoreless game to a 14-0 game early. You never know and that is why the game is played and not played on paper.

[trinity05]

I have 2 points to say...........


1. i can appreciate all of the bell fans backing there team in thinking that they can pull off the upset against trinity, but, I ask this for the bell fans....What advantage do you think you have over Trinity? You will probably say the secondary but we all know Trinity can take that advantage away by using their powerful running game......I personally think it will be a close game through out the first half but trinity pulls away in the second half with a 49-21 win.

2. There is no doubt that sgp has the best defense in the district but they had the same defense last year pretty much and trinity put up 40+ against them last year and the offense is even better this year. It will undoubtedly be trinity's biggest test of the year but to say sgp will handle trinity no questions ask makes me ask to myself to really think sgp can beat trinity....or are you just saying this out of spite because you go to bell hs?

[Trinity Trojan Fan For Li]

Trinity05 - TrueBlue only brought up SGP because Bell can't get the job done this Friday night.

bhs06 has nothing but coulda, woulda, shoulda, what if, and other excuses. If he was intimidated by SGP's defense, read the stats for Trinity and SGP.

This is one game I kinda would like to see the 1st string offense left in the whole game. I'm not usually a vindictive person but in this game I am.

[TrojanHorse03]

By the Bhs06 u play 4 bell right? What position do u play again????

[CoppellCowboy57]

This game will be tough for you to win BHS06, and a loss will knock you guys out of the play-offs, three loses in 6-5A your out...But not mathmaticly out of the play-offs. What ever happens friday night, just keep fighting, dont give up...


SGP does have on of the best defenses, so far but I dont they'll be able to old up much longer...(Man im glad im not going to be in Texas to see them kill Coppell)

[stillatrinityfan]

The Trinity vs Bell game is one that anything can happen . I do predict a Trinity will again win the game and Bell will win the halftime show. I also think it will be a close 1st half with Trinity taking over in the 2nd half. Most of Bell's fans will be gone after halftime so maybe it won't hurt very much. I do wish both teams luck ( hope Trinity has a little more ) and that they both come out without any injuries.

Hey, Coppell , Good Luck to you. My son is an active Marine about to be deployed for the 2nd time to Iraq. He went to bootcamp also during football season. We would send him the newspaper clippings so he could keep up.

Good Luck to you and Thank you for your service.

1. What do we have? I think we have better wide recievers, a better quarterback, better linebackers, better secondary, and a better kicker, and overall better team speed. You guys have better offensive line, better running backs, better defensive line, and more power. Now I think our wide recievers are looking forward to facing this defense because after seeing what kind of defense THS runs I think they can look for their weaknesses. And our secondary once again was its butt-kicking self against SGP only allowing 49 passing yards. And they also can tackle really well, they are strong and fast. Don't take them for granted that they can't tackle because they can. Our D-line is 100% tongan so they will know who they are lining up against and hopefully not be bullied around too much. Our linebackers have both played THS twice and this will be their 3rd time so they know whats coming and are also experienced and good. I also think the added "do-or-die" aspect of this game will help us work harder this week at practice.

2. Your offense is better and their defense is better, both have had a year to improve. I underestimated the size of SGP's defense because their linebackers and D-line are big and fast, their secondary is a bit undersized but fast and strong. They held us to -22 rushing yards. It will be a good game and good test that can go either way.

[trinity05]

BHS, how can you basically list the entire defense being better than trinity when statistically trinity is better.......you gave up 40+ points to ARLINGTON BOWIE.....i dont think your defense scares anyone and i think the game will be similar to the nimitz game.... you'll also see that your so called kick *** secondary will get burned a couple times

[baylordad]

For what it is worth, I think Trinity is four touchdowns better than Bell, a couple better than Mac and SGP and three better than Irving.

Well that was our first game to fully use our new defensive scheme. All night we had people lining up wrong, calling the wrong coverages, and not doing their assignments. Plus Sherrod Harris was running wild. All 3 of our D-line starters were out that game injured. After that game it seems that most things were fixed and since we have had 5 straight well played defensive games. Of the 42 points SGP scored, 28 of them were scored when they started in the red zone or directly off of turnovers. 49 yards total passing. No offense but the Trojan recieving corps is no where near the level of MacArthur's, Flower Mound's, or Irving's, or even better than SGP or Bowie on that level.

[trinity05]

obviously you dont read the papers since trinity has the biggest avg yards per catch in the area

[blue58]

Yes, but biggest yards per catch average doesnt mean they are the best. Most of your passes are catching people off guard with the play action. I think that thats more good planning than talent. They have the break away speed to run from the defenders.. I'm not knocking Trinity's pass, because ours hasn't been clicking lately either,but we pass a lot, so i'd really hope that our recievers were better than yours.

[trinity05]

i think bell and trinity are equal talent wise its just the fact that trinity has superior coaching.....in all honesty if bell had good coaching they could do some damage

[bhs06]

i think bell and trinity are equal talent wise its just the fact that trinity has superior coaching.....in all honesty if bell had good coaching they could do some damage

Our coaching staff has a total of 8 state rings, just wondering how many the Trojan staff has. I don't think it has to do with coaching, its more of Trinity has been running their offense/defense for years now and we are still in the learning process. I think it all comes down to size and execution.

[trinity05]

BHS....i have to give it to you....you have every angle covered on why bell is better......how about instead of talking about it you proove it on the field........do u play? or are you a scrub?

You can plan all day long but you have to have the talent to execute.

[bleed green]

trinity wins big over at the half 55-7

[bhs06]

BHS....i have to give it to you....you have every angle covered on why bell is better......how about instead of talking about it you proove it on the field........do u play? or are you a scrub?

I do play for the team, I just don't state the facts on this board because I like to have a freedom of speech, so I can say anything I want without anyone knowing who I am and knocking on me at school/practice for stating some opinions. And today we began our first day of prepartion for Friday Night... I'm not giving away any details but I think we are going to be allright.

P.S. I have a question for trinity fans... are #8(Prinz Kande) and #21(Earnest Norman) really freshman?

[stinger]

BHS06, you are the same nut who made the STUPID remark about Vittatoe and Nance getting MIP tickets.A lie wasn't it? Here you are again stating some b.s. like a little baby before his spanking. Just try and stick with the post and support your team. I know it's tough when you are facing such a task this Friday, but step up and be a sport. Get out and try your best, but remember: there will be a winner.

[blue58]

I understand that you have to have the talent to execute. watching trinity's film today, you guys execute your plays very well. Offense looks crisp, but your passing, is mainly a planning thing or a defensive failure, every pass that scroggins,handy or king caught was a busted coverage.

I give a lot props to trinity though. The offense has grown a lot, and I think if we can get our offense going it may be a pretty high scoring game.

[trinity05]

yea those two players are really freshman and they would both probably start at bell now

You're not making sense - your passing, is mainly a planning thing - OF COURSE THE PASS PLAYS ARE CALLED.

Or a defensive failure - OF COURSE IT'S A DEFENSIVE FAILURE, THEY CAUGHT THE BALL.

Every pass that Scroggins, Handy, or King caught was a busted coverage - NOT TRUE!

I don't think you're seeing the truth, just what they want you to see.

By the way, I went ldbellfootball.com to see if there is a #58 listed on the roster - not listed. But I did get a good look at Bell's new Blue Raider figure. On Pennington Field's scoreboard (without binoculars), it looks like a big blue bunny. :D

[CoppellCowboy57]

someones going to look stupid after the game...I hope its not trinity cause then they'll all just leave the board...

if its bell oh well there used to losing they'll stay...

let me make this clear...

I WANT BELL TO WIN but...ET will domiante this game...

good luck bell, have fun
