I know that SLC has been giving up some points there, but they've also been scoring alot also.......and, Grapevine has steadily improved, especially during the last month......but, for anyone that was there, was the game stats as close as the score??? I have to assume SLC had some players out.......or that Grapevine played their hearts out!

Both! Newton, Simpson, and Ortega were out (will be back) and GV played lights out. They were shut out in the 2nd half. Renfro caught 2 deep balls that were out of bounds, very open. Just an off night that we stilled pulled out. I am glad we got it out of our system with a win.

both of the things you wrote are true, but there is more to it. This is a big rivalry game. Our stadiums are 1/5 of a mile apart. If Grapevine won this game they would seal up their playoff birth. Carroll got outplayed and Grapevine played much harder than the Dragons. Hopefully it will serve as a good wake-up call to Carroll.

Grapevine played their hearts out. I watched the game, and they were busting their rear - ends during the game against SLC.
I don't know, however, if there were any SLC players out of the game.
But above all, it was a good game.

Good info.....sounds like when we (Katy Tigers) play Katy Taylor and Cinco Ranch....forget the records.......like one of our coaches used to say..."when you're at the top of the ladder, your butt is always exposed!"....losing to Clear Lake in OT LAST YEAR, was the best thing THIS YEAR's team could have happened to them.......never should have happened......and it still hurts.
I look for SLC to come out firing next week.....poor 'ol Richland.....gulp......

I think we may be able to call this the TCU effect after beating Oklahoma in the first week of the season only to lose to SMU the next week

SLC come out and scored on its first possestion and the Defense was playing lights out. However the second possesion the Offense was playing well but a little to flat and tried a field goal and missed. (No Ortaga). The next series the Dragons were moving again with McElroy in. Then on 3rd down Riley Dodge comes in and throws a perfect strick to the GV defensive back that made a good play for a defesive TD for Grapevine. This play should go a long way to the maturation of Riley! Grapevine then had a spark and took it to the Dragons who were a little shocked! Grapevine went ahead 21-14 and stopped a driving Dragons with an interseption late in the 2nd quarter and went into the half ahead 21-14.
SLC came out the second half and totally dominated the first part of the 3rd quarter getting 2 quick TD's and totally stopping GV's offense. Then the Carroll offense got cute again and let GV regain momentium. The Carroll Defense had to win this game because the Offense was not very consistant or playing well. The defense did seal the game and the Dragons were able to stay unbeaten and made GV have to win next week to get into the playoffs.
The stats are all in the Dragons favor but the Dragon Offense scored 9 points for Grapevine! Take away the 9 points and it is another 28 - 14 or worse with the Dragons winning by 14+ points.
Grapevine played very well but will have to play as well to stop CHHS. Good luck to all!

I believe the loss of the starting running back, FG/kick-off kicker and starting corner back had a significant impact on the game. When that is combined with the mental aspects of the game, the game that was expected by many to be a blow-out ended up being close. Grapevine was at home and was clearly motivated to play the #1 team. SLC was out of sync (with all of the SLC/Trinity hype were they looking ahead?). SLC and was without any FG threat nor a significant running threat. SLC had 3 turnovers with one being an interception return for a touchdown. In term of yards gained, SLC outgained Grapevine almost 2 to 1.

I expected more honest and sincere replies from the SLC faithful than these that I am seeing. Why can't it be that Grapevine forced turnovers? That Grapevine moved the ball well and scored against a good defense ? Why is it because SLC played bad - blah blah blah - that sounds whiny to me. Grapevine played well and forced the game - they took it-- nothing was given to them. I don't want to hear about injuries either - this is SLC remember ? the machine and winners don't make excuses - they just win - like SLC did - so stop with the excuses - why was the game so close you ask on the thread? - it was so close because Grapevine made it close with their play and their effort. Another 4th quarter INT saved the day for the Dragons - seems to be a trademark.

No doubt Grapevine was very motived and took the game to SLC. Having said that, the loss of key SLC players had an impact. The path to 56-1 isn't always easy.

Implac's actually got a pretty good take on this one. When a top 5 team loses or wins on a last play int., nobody wants to hear who was hurt, how dominant the stats were, or how fortunate a team was to be in contention based on some weird bounces, etc. I've been on both sides of that fence. At the same time I do understand that people try to give reasons why a team did not dominate when maybe they should have.
But, does anyone on this forum give a rip when teams are decimated by injuries? Not much if at all.
As Drgnbkr stated, SLC was tested mightily Fri. night based on a host of reasons - and they came through with a W. Hats off to them.
Without starting anything, I will state, however, that many SLC posters here rarely get outside the context of SLC. It's -- we didn't rush the ball because we didn't have Tre - when in reality maybe the D was just playing lights out and they wanted it more.
I remember one poster last year from SLC stated Abilene High had to resort to "on side kicks and other trickery" to make it close. LOL -as if those types of plays are illegal or lame. Let's face it -- anytime you start giving reasons why you lost or barely won -- if you're not focusing on the opponent's efforts it may likely come out as lame.

Kids! Kids! that's quite enough.....no more whining and accusing.....please...
everyone has their opinion and I respect those that were at the game to state the facts as they saw them......I have noticed that SLC is giving up more pts this year, but they have also been scoring lots of points.
Injuries are a fact and sometimes they happen......you just hope and pray for speedy recoveries, especially if you don't have depth at the skill positions and kicking game, which appears to be the case with SLC this year.......
SLC are still the State Champion and until someone beats them, in the playoffs, they will be State Champs......some teams lose 1 or 2 times in District, still make the playoffs, and them peak at the right time.....
it's not how you start, it's how you finish!!! I truly expect SLC to be in the State Finals, again....and I don't know or care if it's D1 or D1......I've seen them play, I know their coach, and I've had many conversations with many of their fans......they are a winning program that EXPECTS to win it all, every year...........just like the Katy Tigers! whoya!!!!

The kicking game is huge both in terms of field position and as a scoring threat. The loss of Ortega is huge to SLC and it had an impact on Friday. Ortega was the difference maker in the 2004 finals and he no doubt he will have an important impact in the playoffs in 2005.
In SLC's case, the loss of their starting running back is very significant. Without a good running back, SLC's offense becomes much more one dimensional. If they can run the ball effectively, their passing game is dominate enough to beat anybody. Without the run, they are vulnerable.
You may discount injuries, but they make a real difference. Without Ortega and Newton, SLC's chances are greatly reduced. SLC could compensate for a WR injury, but injuries to the starting RB and Kicker are much more difficult to over come.
No disrespect to Grapevine. They played great and they earned a close game. However, injuries played a role in the outcome of that game.

I think that everyone is forgetting that both starting corners were out. This is a huge impact because one of the more versatile wide receivers was moved to corner when his twin brother (I don't want to say the names because I always mix them up) went down with an injury earlier in the year. Had both corners still been playing I expect they would have moved the wide receiver to running back when Newton was unable to play.

why ? go for it on fourth down - go for 2-point conversions. I can cite numerous threads in here discussing the greatness of that offense and how Nobody in the world can stop it. Not to mention - shouldn't a coach as great as Dodge have the next kicker lined up and ready to go ? that is after all " the program" isn't it ?
as far as Newton - please post the rushing yardage for SLC this year - I would be interested to see the difference - I mean I keep hearing how great a runner Riley is and not to mention Mcelroy has had a few quality rushing games - Lets take a look at the rushing leaders for SLC this year and see how it breaks down.

BTW -
In Riley's defense, that wasn't his fault.
That slot-screen, if called to go to the slot back, is to be thrown immediately after the snap. No way could Riley have seen that safety cheating up. It was simply a great play on defense.

I saw the play and to me it looked like it was a sophomore mistake. He looked before he threw the ball and the defender was right there. He could have pulled the ball down and either ran or even just thrown it away. He will learn from this mistake and hopefully will not do it again.

if it was a bubble screen, it is not a read. the qb could possibly see that it is not open, but not always. if the safety guess right, it can be disasterous.
Did'nt see you at the game..did you go out west?

i snuck off to the deer lease and ended up at another acu win. they've beaten top 20 teams soundly 2 weeks running. middle son got a block on a punt return that little bro would have been proud of. i think he got more pleasure out of that than just about any pass he's ever caught.

Yep - - always love it when the Wildcats whip up on A&I (A&M Kingsville) -- good win DD. Likely a 1-2% chance this happens - but would love to see T. Potts from AHS reconsider ACU over TexasTech now that Mc is going out west to Raiderland.

He is just scared of McElroy. How could you blame him though?

Green people..why in the world would any of you ever respond to plac44? Look at this thread, which is replete with examples of his foolishness..Why subject yourself? Grapevine played an inspired game, had an outstanding defensive game plan, we won...next?
everytime you post it is replete with the diarrhea that spews from your mouth. I think you or the daddy might be the biggest offenders on this board - bunch of pompous folks.
and slcdad - why would i do research when i can count on your bias "facts" that you the self-proclaimed guru propose -
needless to say I heard the QB from Highland Park is the #1 QB in the nation ??

I found the best way to deal with Mr. Diarrhea (aka - implacable44) is to block his entries for your account. His points are subversive and self-serving so there is need to view his posts.

then why are you responding ? self serving ? how can a post about highschool football be self-serving? What in the world do I get out of it ? learn how to spell and then come back to the board when you get some courage.
you should block yourself all in. then we would all be better off.
