SLC-Keller Game Thread

[dragons08]

*gasp* another slc thread, but this one is acuttaly not a copy of a ton of others, this is to talk about the game that will occur 2morrow night at Dragon Stadium!! i expect Dragon Nation to be loud as usual, tommorrow will be a big day for the band as well, it will be our last chance to play in front of an audience, before UIL on tuesday, also, it will be our first time marching the whole show, the bad part about this is no dragon spellout! man was i PISSED when we didnt do it against DR, also the lil 8th grader band nerds will be joining us (well, the ones that arent "to cool", which seems to be the theme this year with the freshman throughout the school), but all in all should be a great game 2morrow at dragon stadium!! and hope to see all of Dragon Nation 2morrow!!

"great game"....unlikely

[dragonfootballfan]

"great game"....unlikely
what would make it a great game would be if Carroll was up by a lot to let the football player from Keller that has down syndrome to score a real touchdown against the number 1 team in the state. I hope that this happens

[stinger]

If that happens...SLC can claim to be the "Class of Texas"

[BAMF cowboy]

i didnt know such a player existed. im sure if dodge knows about this, he's a class enough guy to do it.

[drgnbkr]

It's been all over the news this week...Keller & Richland both agreed to let him run for an uncontested TD last week...it was touching to say the least...

[Dds115]

i have a feeling there would be about....... 5000 crying people in the stands if/hopefully when it happens.

[dragons08]

did it happen??

[drgnbkr]

It did'nt happen that I know of & we don't know if it was even discussed by the coaches...I do know this..Coach Dodge had more new faces playing throughout the game than I've ever seen...lots of 2nd & 3rd teamers....come on playoffs!

i was curious, why we didnt use ortega, that much, it seemed we went on it on 4th a lot, maybe just trying new things out?

[c-lisle]

I see slc squeaked by another opponent. lol

[dragons08]

yea it was a dandy...it was tied, for the first drive of each team! then we scored a field goal...then BAM offense turned on

[drgnbkr]

Keller is our closest neighbor and a lot of the kids know each other. Keller just had nothing to slow the Dragons down..no running game whatsoever & a very inaccurate passer....obviously their D was not able to get it done...if Ortega kicks field goals it's rubbing it in more than continuing to run the ball...

oh, because like it seemed every 4th down, wed get the first and score, and i thought that was like rubbing it in or ortega was hurt or something, whyd tre sit out? groin acting up again?

Who is your backup RB

[dragonbuck]

Keller has a great passing offense with their QB passing for close to 2,000 in the 1st 7 weeks. He looked good tonight in the 1st half. Only 26 yards in the 2nd half

[dragonfootballfan]

correct me if I'm wrong but didn't those keller teams have real good offenses last year. what happened?
they lost almost every player that played in a varsity game before. I think on the radio they said that there were 6 kids that had ever played on a friday night before.

[Sakatha]

Keller certainly had one thing going for them...

A dirty player. I'll prolly get banned for calling out a HS kid, but someone needs to say something to this punk, the coach, or his parents. 3 personal fouls, 2 spearing calls, and he damn near broke Riley Dodge's neck. I won't even bother to call his #, but he's a LB... Cheap shots all night. Just because you are down 50 doesn't give you the right to hurt someone. Now I know why Coach Dodge sat Tre' tonight. I am betting Tre' would've played had the game mattered.

[Fleeman93]

How did Keller score in this game. I know it was before half, but how did it happen?

[Sakatha]

2 legit drives.

Just threw the ball down the field. Keller's QB is good, and in fact he had 2 sure TD's just flat dropped by Keller WR's.

~DnM

[dragonbuck]

one good drive and another aided by several penalties. Keller's QB had a solid 2nd qtr with accurate short passes. Halftime adjustments included blitzing him from different angles. This totally disrupted his timing and resulted in several sacks. Had like 26 yards of passing in 2nd Half.

Not only was he spearing, I saw him throw at least 4 forearms to the head that didn't get called. Not sure what his deal was, but this started in the 1st qtr. Not after we were up by 50. I guess if you can't beat them, try and mame them. That's one way to leave your mark. When he's 35, he would be bragging to his friends saying "remember when I was 17 and I took that cheap shot against the #1 Dragons and knocked that kid out of the game - that was awesome! Boy did I show them." Idiot!

~DnM

Coach D kept Tre out because he knew one specific lb was a cheap shot artist? Did he not have the same concerns for his own son who almost got his neck broken? This hypothesis sounds more than a bit out there to me.

[Sakatha]

My point was, why risk further injury to your starting RB. It sounded more like what you said. Not what I was aiming at.

Regardless, the Keller kid was a punk, and should've been tossed.

~DnM

[southlake thug]

What else do you expect from Keller? This kind of stuff happens every year. It happens almost every weekend also just not on the football field. There filth is amazing.

[BAMF cowboy]

i was curious, why we didnt use ortega, that much, it seemed we went on it on 4th a lot, maybe just trying new things out?

Time was running down in the fourth quarter, about 4 minutes left. If we put ortega in to kick the field goal, we would have to give them back the ball, and the game would've gone drag on another 20 minutes. By going for it (and fortunately making it...twice) we managed to run off a good 2 - 3 minutes off the clock.

-DragonCrew's coaching point of the day.

[BAMF cowboy]

Who is your backup RB

Matt Moorefield (#32) is the backup running back, 3rd string is Matt Hampton (#34). I asked Tre before the game and he said last game he had a concussion, this was news to me, but I suppose he knows right? He said he'd be back next week.

[Dds115]

Durring the DR game Tre got his 6th concussion, so they decided it would be best to let him sit out this game. From what I was told, Matt will be playing the rest of the regualr season games.

[SLC fan]

His 6th concussion?! Are you sure? I don't know how long he'll be able to play football if he continues to suffer concussions at that rate.

[drgnbkr]

His 6th concussion?! Are you sure? I don't know how long he'll be able to play football if he continues to suffer concussions at that rate.

I'd heard he had had 2 before this one...

[Dds115]

Per Moorefield it's his 6th.

[dragons08]

Who is your backup RB
moorefield, i think his first name is matt? hes a senior

[dragons08]

oh yeahhhh, i got a teacher as a coach, and he was telling us about tre and how what that one guy did to prince

actually the third string runningback is sophomore Derek Tomlin (#35)

[dragons08]

actually the third string runningback is sophomore Derek Tomlin (#35)
derek tomlin is a sophomore, but he didnt play correct, cause doesnt he play JV as well??

[dragonfootballfan]

derek tomlin is a sophomore, but he didnt play correct, cause doesnt he play JV as well??
no he played friday on kickoff, defense and at runningback from what I heard on the radio. He does not play on JV anymore

[BAMF cowboy]

well hampton received playing time friday, and from directly talking to football players, he's third string. it honestly doesnt matter though.

[dragons08]

no he played friday on kickoff, defense and at runningback from what I heard on the radio. He does not play on JV anymore
oh i did not know that, first couple days of school i was in derek's and tre newtons class, then i got switched out..

[southlake thug]

Yeah I think that Tomlin is moving into the 3rd string spot. He could be a good compliment to Tre next year if they keep him at RB.

[dragonfootballfan]

Yeah I think that Tomlin is moving into the 3rd string spot. He could be a good compliment to Tre next year if they keep him at RB.
I think that he is too valuable as a linebacker. He is going to be really good

[southlake thug]

Yeah I agree. We could put him anywhere and he is valuable. He is going to be a real good player.

[RAB-07]

could you guys be mixing the 2 tomlins up? there is derek and blake.

[dragonfootballfan]

could you guys be mixing the 2 tomlins up? there is derek and blake.
no. One plays receiver for both JV and varsity and the other plays linebacker and runningback for the varsity. Ironically the one that plays varsity is the younger brother

[dragons08]

no. One plays receiver for both JV and varsity and the other plays linebacker and runningback for the varsity. Ironically the one that plays varsity is the younger brother
i wouldnt tell blake that, i was in one of his classes last year, and his bro had the class before him, sat in his seat, and people would call him derek, teacher would to, oh man he was fuming on occassion, member at the pep rally? how mcelroy called him derek jokingly?

[dragons08]

could you guys be mixing the 2 tomlins up? there is derek and blake.
no we are not
