Katy Cinco Ranch vs SLC predictions

[ScottS]

Ok, this is the makeup game for the Bellaire cancellation. It sounds like Cinco Ranch is playing some good ball now. Lets hear what you think will happen.

Haven't seen Bellaire but it's a safe bet Cinco Ranch will give you a better game. I expect a close game.

[SLC13]

Haven't seen Bellaire but it's a safe bet Cinco Ranch will give you a better game. I expect a close game.

The numbers would seem indicate that as well. Cinco Ranch comes into the game undefeated, having beaten SA Reagan, Cy Springs, Katy Mayde Creek and TW College Park. Statistically the teams matchup this way:

Katy Cinco Ranch (4-0)
Offense avg: 33.0 ppg and 443.3 ypg
Defense avg: 17.3 ppg and 263.8 ypg
Turnovers & Take aways: +1 (to=6, ta=7)

SLC (3-0)
Offense avg: 38.0 ppg and 411.4 ypg
Defense avg: 9.7 ppg and 285.0 ypg
Turnovers & Take aways: +3 (to=3, ta=6)

Obviously, having not seen Cinco Ranch or any of their opponents, it pretty hard to evaluate the difficultly of their schedule. Maybe some of our Houston friends can shed some light on that.

The Dragons should have a large, football hungry crowd behind them for this one and coupled with the travel factor for CR, I expect the Dragons to prevail in a hard fought contest. My homer prediction is:

SLC 31
CR 21

[Dynastybegan86]

I think Cinco can play with you guys. How long will be the key! They have a very good qb and rb. They are not big overall as a team, but have good team speed. They are disciplined and they run a similar offense. I agree, it should be close. 35-28 SC.

[DrEdward]

Just out of curiosity, how many CInco Ranch fans are planning to make the drive up to Southlake for next weekend's Friday evening festivities? I understand it's a good drive on a Friday afternoon, but this should prove to be a good game. For those planning to make the trip, please try to arrive in time to come join us at some of the many tailgate parties sure to be underweigh out side the Stadium.

[BigRing5311]

If they're south of Waco no prediction until the bus pulls up.

I don't think the game will ever be in doubt for the Dragons. Cinco will score but won't have enough to keep up with the Dragoneers. This is a good game for both teams. SC gets a quality opponent and Cinco gets to see where they stand with the big boys. Cinco will go Div I in the playoffs so there wouldn't be a re-match if both teams went to State unless SC is going Div I too. I wish this one was on T.V. It's just way too far for me to travel.

SC 40

The Cinco folks will have to leave work early or take the day off to make this game on a Friday night. It would be easier for Cinco fans if the game was a Saturday afternoon event.

underweigh? Do you not mean underway?

[SLC93]

Carroll - 38
CR - 14

It's good to see Cinco Ranch playing well. They're numbers are nice and they've won them all so far. You can't ask for much more. Their issue, in this game, is beyond their control. I had Carroll ready to break out against NS and really start catching the eye of the masses. CR now has to face a Dragon squad that has notched some wins,gaining experience along the way, and plays the kind of defense 99% of the state longs to. They are a grustrated group of youngsters. Their thirst for weekly battle has been thrown off this season due to Ike. They'll be rested, healthy, eager and at home for this one. Couple that with the fact that, unlike the last cancellation, they've had a full two weeks to prepare and CR has no chance. Due to the nature of the 08 Dragons, it may appear to be close for awhile but it will only appear so. They will not press or panic. They will methodically wear on CR, ultimately running away with it. I expect to see a few of those "big" plays everyone is so thirsty for finally happen. I expect the defense to be lights out. I give CR 14 out of a real respect for their qb & offensive ability. It could ,however, be uglier for them.

[twcpfan1]

Going for the upset. Cinco Ranch 38-35

[toonman]

I would like to give some kudos to Katy Cinco Ranch for agreeing to this game. It would have been so easy for any team not to elect to play Southlake Carroll, especially having to travel all the way from Houston to play this game, against one of the powerhouses of 5A.

Then again if you want to be the best you have to beat the best and any aspiring program should always try and schedule the 'tough' games, as that is the only measure of a good team.

Having said that, I think there is too much in Southlake's favor to predict anything other than a win for the Dragons and I list these as follows :-

1). Home Field advantage - only 1 loss at Dragon Stadium and no home losses in 5A.

2). Long road trip for Katy Cinco Ranch, really takes the players out of their comfort zone.

3). Bye-Week : I think this helps the Dragons, with players being fully fit and the pent up feelings of frustration not having a game this weekend.

4). The Dragons are also becoming that much more experienced, improving each successive game and had a dominating game against Mesquite, building on the superb second half performance against the Arlington Colts.

I see this being Southlake Carroll 38 vs Katy Cinco Ranch 24.

[green day]

Well, what do ya know, we get to play another football game. Here's a few things you can count on taking place at our 3rd to last home event on Friday at DS...

* A game. Actually only one game as Katy CR declines Wasson's pre-game request to play a doubleheader.

* Plenty of empty seats during the first quarter as many are unaware of the atypical 7:00 kick-off. Plenty of empty seats in the 4th quarter for another reason...

* Ya think we might spot a few dozen coaches of District 6-5A taking in the game? Unlike SL, most of those schools should feel pretty certain about getting by their Bye opponent on Oct 3

* Let's just say, we're going to see plenty of Dragons running out of the helmet, and I mean plenty...keep an eye out for players from the class of 2018, they look strong.

* QB Padron finds a new receiver to score his first touchdown of the season

* Our punt return team get numerous opportunities to practice their runbacks.

* The defense bends without braking, the offense keeps the foot down on the accellerator and the hometown fans drive home happy.

* Dragons thank their guests for coming over and win this one, 49-17.

keep an eye on Cinco's QB......he runs a 4.3!!!!...and has amazing field vision

Please show us where that speed is documented.

[ktCarl]

:eek:

He's THAT fast?!?! He's quick alright but not 4.3. Maybe 4.39999999999. :D

The big RB is built like Katy's James Aston but a little bit quicker.

Not sure how fast he is but he chased down a CP LB (or was it a CB) who had a pretty good head start on him after a fumble recovery. Shane Ros is pretty quick.

[dada]

with or without the knee brace?

[Dynastybegan86]

with or without the knee brace?

The boy has wheels! With the brace! Without it, I'd honestly say he would be faster! He broke off a 60-65yd TD run against CP and he out ran all pursuit angles, and there were several DBs I thought should have gotten to him. Ros and Hirtz are the Cinco offense. You stop BOTH and you will win. Trouble is they mix it up enough to keep you guessing. Ros throws extremely well on the run, especially to his left;) He has an arm. The Cinco receivers are good. Defensively, they have to step up and be a force. I stand by my gut, they'll keep it close. It could turn ugly late, we'll just have to see. Everyone needs to remember, Cinco has played Katy every year for the last 7-8 years. So, going into SC is not going to intimidate these kids. They have been playing an elite program, so now they are making it 2 this year. I think it is awesome. You want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I would think that SC will win, but it isn't going to be some blowout some of you guys think it will be. SC fans thinking this, are setting themselves up for a rude awakening. I am not saying a blowout couldn't happen, I just think it's unlikely. Good luck to both.

[ktCarl]

if the cr has an ol like the big tigerhawgs aston followed, they'll give the dragon oldtimers nightmares.

They are smaller from observing in the stands. I don't have a program with their sizes listed but I think they are smaller than Katy's this year and compared to '03 and '05. But they are quick and well disciplined. The head coach (Clayton) was Katy's O Coordinator for the '97 championship team(We still love him). He is slowly but surely building a good program at the Five Ranches. They should give the Dragons a good game but I think too much is in favor for Southlake in this one.

[chunky79]

slc at home, cmon. slc wins this game

[drgnbkr]

I'm just glad Cinco agreed to the game. It is a hard trip for a game on Friday night to a stadium where the home team has only lost once since the stadium opened. We appreciate it and will enjoy the contest!

[twcpfan1]

That's a rough trip. Gotta get from Katy to the North side of Houston. That in itself is brutal. Then you gotta start your trek to Ft Worth. You guys should have met halfway at SHSU or something. In that way, I could go see it :D

[Forward Pass]

I doubt many fans will make the trip up to Southlake... No game in college station this weekend so I will be there and with me an army of Cinco alumni I will drag with me haha...

I'll echo rorib7's comments. Parents of the players will be there, and us die hard Cinco supporters. That's about it, I'm afraid. May have been better playing this one on Saturday instead, but at least we're playing.

[bigsal51]

I have seen Katy against north shore and I have seen Cinco. Cinco is a much better team than both Katy and North Shore. This will be the ultimate test for Cinco. I am going for the upset Cinco 35 SLC 28

[Bass]

You do realize that's one of the worst possible games to take anything away from about either team, right? One of the worst possible games to draw a conclusion on or make predictions on the rest of either team's season? There are so many negative variables to a team's performance and success that are accentuated that early in the season (week 0), least of which being the nerves experienced when the two best 5A programs in the city are opening the season against each other and playing for the first time.

Cinco could very well be better than both North Shore and Katy, but citing that game as your only proof is in pretty poor judgment.

He is the fastest ive scene this year, but he aint no 4.3. That is Devin Hester speed.

[ftballin11]

This game will be out of hand by half time. The Cinco offense has copied SLC by coming to the line of scrimmage getting set then all looking over at the coach to get the sign when the defense is set. Stop Ros and youll stop Cinco. He reminds me alot of Chase Daniel, Not as good a passer but a bit better runner.

I thought everybody that runs the spread does that now. Even Oklahoma State when I saw them at Kyle last year (or was that Kansas). The Woodlands does it too I think. Thought that was just standard for that offense. I think it should be outlawed, but I've already expressed that last year and had issues with some of the SLC faithful because of it.

I have already thought that a good counter would be for the defense to not really get set until the play clock gets below 10 then get set. Gives the offense less time to get their last minute change in. However, I just watch football and not coach it.

Im talking bout when they set up, get set then they all look over at the coach at the same time to get the signs. SLC was the first team i saw do that. Now its the Norm. Cinco never did it before, That i had seen.

[twcpfan1]

Don't you run the risk of the offense snapping it quickly to catch you off guard? As far as I know they do not have to wait for the D to get set. If they give the appearance that they have spent 1 second getting set themselves (which btw, I don't think should be considered to be so unless they are in the 3 pt stance), then it doesn't matter what the D is doing.

[Bass]

In his defense you probably do not want him drawing any conclusions from week 1 either.

But that's not the game he saw... as far as he knows, Katy handed the ball (literally handed, not fumbled, but handed- one guy to the other) to the Woodlands every possesion. According to some of the guys in the yard, if I keep telling it like that it'll be accepted as truth soon enough... :D

[Bass]

But now to make a post relevant to the thread.

I want Cinco to win. I'd love for another team in our district to have beat them. It'd suck having to hear about it until week 10 when we beat Cinco, though. :D People would also stop talking about Katy playing a weak schedule every year, and I think the best way for people to see the district getting stronger is for a team to play a state power and hit them in the mouth. Even if Cinco doesn't win, keeping it competitive would be a great achievement.

Of course, Carroll does has everything going for them in this game, and there's no reason they'll lose other than Cinco being the better team. Here's to hoping. :notworthy

If Cinco wins: 34-27
If Carroll wins: 38-14

[SLC93]

More importantly, to those of us in green, would be the 35 for CR. Have you seen the Dragons play defense this season. That point total is about 4x what they give up per game. Not going to happen.

Against what competition? Have they played a pair better than Ros and Hirtz? Just a question. I don't know who they have played against so far.

[dragonpants]

My only concern is the first half which we have yet to play a good one, couple that with a little "rust". I know they have practiced but not the same.

Probably close in the first half and then as usual the Dragons put it on the them in the second half.

Since we like 35 this year, I am predicting 35-10.......again.

[KT2000]

That Dragon defense isn't gonna give up more than 14. I see it about 38-14ish

I would predict a score in that region as well. 35-7. Cinco runs the ball well, but that is the Dragons' specialty on defense. Also, Cinco hasn't played anyone with a good offense yet.

[SLC93]

Against what competition? Have they played a pair better than Ros and Hirtz? Just a question. I don't know who they have played against so far.

The defense has played a couple of good teams in Plano West and Mesquite. Arlinton was returning almost every starter from last year, on both sides of the ball, and has scored points at an improved clip since facing Carroll.. I think we could ask the same question of the CR offense. What defenses have they line up against? The w/l record of their opponents is strong but I see alot of defenses that give up close to 20 per. This should be a fantastic matchup and a good measuring stick for both squads. I think Carroll will get more stops that CR and will control the ball, keeping it out of the CR offenses reach. With Carroll being at home with two weeks to prepare, I'll stick with my 38-14 call from earlier.

Based on the fast QB, I'll give em another score but still convinced we'll score more in this game than Grapevine has scored YTD ( 27 thru 4 games, 6.75 pts./game. Fans across the street are more excited for their Freshmen bunch, I hear)

Agree. We touched on this a little a few weeks ago. I like the way Wasson and the 08 Dragons are putting their own stamp on how they succeed. It's clean and efficient. I'll take a season full of 35-10 wins, especially the six from November to Christmas.:D

With Carroll being at home with two weeks to prepare, I'll stick with my 38-14 call from earlier.

For the record, here's the points scored against the Dragons by each opponent and how they faired against their other opposition:

Plano West - 9 points vs. SLC; avg. of 28.5 against 4 opponents with a combined record of 12-8

Arlington - 10 vs. SLC; 34.5 avg. vs. 4 opponents (10-9 combined record)

Mesquite - 10 vs. SLC; 23.5 avg. vs. 4 opponents (11-7 combined record)

Not necessarily a perfect predictor but a pretty good indicator that CR may see their scoring average drop after week 5.

I can see what you all are sayin'...but I am going with CR with the upset, 38-37...they are hungry, and ready, this year.
And they bring their crowd;)
Great matchup.

[SLC]

I think were just going to be to much for CR... Our defense is something they havent seen in their games this season. And their defense isnt any better than what weve faced this year... Their offense is alot better then weve seen to date... And it'll be nice to give the boys a little better challenge.... but we win that battle hands down... Our offense is getting better each week and I agree with most that we are winning with a different style this season... but that isnt by a choice... the deep plays just havent been there yet... And I stress yet... It will come and I think we see some of that this week....

I think its close through the first quarter.... Then a can is opened the last three

Dragons 49

CR 20

[SaRattlerFan]

I saw Cinco Ranch play SA Reagan the first game of the year. Cinco won 21-17, however, it was more like Reagan giving them the game. Reagan fumbled twice in the Red Zone in the second half (9 yard line and the 16 yard line). Reagan also had another drive deep into the Red Zone in the second half and back to back holding penalties killed that drive (missed FG).

Reagan outgained CR by about 80 yards in the game, but turnovers were the deciding factor.

Bottomline, CR is a good team, but SLC should win this game by at least 10 points.

[ScottS]

SLC 185
CR 14

The Dragons defense is tough and the offense will score at will as if CR never even showed up.

I like it!!!! I like it alot.

[dragonbuck]

For those that have been waiting for my prognostication, here you go:
SC- 38
CR- 13.


For those of you that have not been waiting for my prognostication, here you go:
SC -38
CR -13.

Sleep well, the Dragons win whether you care about my prediction or not.
I can't wait for some HS football again! This on again, off again is killin' me. And it's only Monday.

[Dynastybegan86]

I think were just going to be to much for CR... Our defense is something they havent seen in their games this season. And their defense isnt any better than what weve faced this year... Their offense is alot better then weve seen to date... And it'll be nice to give the boys a little better challenge.... but we win that battle hands down... Our offense is getting better each week and I agree with most that we are winning with a different style this season... but that isnt by a choice... the deep plays just havent been there yet... And I stress yet... It will come and I think we see some of that this week....

I think its close through the first quarter.... Then a can is opened the last three

Dragons 49

CR 20

Maybe 34-20:ninja::mad:;)

[15Adragon]

SLC 27
CR 17

- First time the defense gives up more than one score. We'll call that rusty. Defense again will rise to meet the challenge.

- Offense will have 2 drives of over 90 yards. (Cowboys had this and lost to the Giants).

- Special teams will continue to improve. I am sure the CR punter has been practicing his 20 yard punts that roll for 40 more.:confused:

[SLC]

Maybe 49-20:ninja::mad:;)

The more I learn about KT 5 Ranch, the more I applaud Wasson for having the cohones to get this game, at a time when we were seemingly set to play Galena Park as well. That's a toughen-em-up approach to the non-district side of things, likely at the expense of lopsided scores and statistical wow effect.

Good work there, Hal.

I'm recalculating my earlier 49-17 prediction. This may be a lot closer than I originally thought. All other predictions are still solid.

I don't know much about Cinco. I have heard they are to be respected. It will be tough for them to run against our defense. In the pass defense area they should try to pick on #22(:D). Our offense is getting better every quarter and special teams have been as good as it gets for us. In the end if everything else is equal, the long bus ride on Friday will make the difference.

SLC - 35
KCR - 24

Looking forward to some football!!!

[KT2000]

If Mesquite and Arlington couldn't top the 10 point mark with all of their returning skill talent, I don't know how Cinco will get much more. One area Cinco has improved significantly over the last few years is defense. I believe they brought in a new DC in 2005, and the difference in their play since has been very noticeable. However, there are only a handful of consistently good passing teams in the Houston area and Cinco Ranch hasn't played any of them. I will be interested to see how they hold up against Carroll.

[DrEdward]

wow...any plans in the works or are you guys just going with the 9 game regular season?

Carroll will simply be going with a nine game regular season this year. :( Not a whole lot of choice in the matter. When North Shore departed the schedule last weekend, it left Carroll with no more open dates, having managed to already fill this coming weekend with Cinco Ranch. Ike got us too in terms of scheduling.

They have to be pretty good, they are undefeated but I admit I have not looked at who they have beat.

I will get scorched for this...but this is how people broke down Katy's opponets last year

SA Reagan(4-1) 21-17...quality win
Cy-Springs(2-1) Beat Katy Taylor and a winless Cy-Fair
Mayde Creek(3-1) all 3 wins against Average 4A schools
College Park(2-1) not much quality

Yet, none of this matters if they come home 5-0

[giantsfaninkaty]

I'm probably pretty biased here, but i'm hpoing for a defensive battle, cinco is returning almost all it's defensive starters from a team that made playoffs despite losing in the 1st round to a Mr. Sam McGuffie. On Offense, Ros and Hirtz have been playing together since elementary school and have both been on varsity since sophomore year. They read eachother very well and can find weakness's.

I have a feeling cinco is going to get another horde of fan bus's like they did for the SA reagan game and for the soccer playoffs last year when we went to Round Rock, so there won't be a shortage of maroon at Dragon Stadium.

I don't know much about SLC this year, but from what I have seen they're rebuilding after losing most of their starters.

I do expect one heck of a friday night battle, and have 2 predictions for this one. SLC -24 CR- 10

giantsfan, to tell the truth, I'm not sure exactly what Cinco ranch is going to see Friday night. We have played 2, week off, played 1, week off. At times the Dragon O looks pretty good, then at times they look seriously strong. The Dragon defense is a big, fast bunch that has played very well with a messed up schedule. We have played 3 teams with good passing attacks and good mobile QB's. I have been watching Dragon football since 86. Can't remember them ever scoring just 3 points:)

[drgnbkr]

While Carroll has a lot of new faces at starting positions, it has been said often that many of the defensive players had major playing time last year. These same kids have been together since pee-wee's and are very tight. I really believe we will be thanking the D several times this year.

Hey, PM me if you do get some buses, I'd like to prep for how to handle the drop off at the stadium. And possibly talk with the Bus Company about where they keep the buses. (I deal with the parking at the stadium). By the way, we charge for parking, $3.00/car.

[Pool Man]

I'm not trying to rag on Cinco, but every year they get all excited and their fans talk about how much they've improved and how great they will be, and then................

It's kinda like ordering dinner from Pizza Hut. It looks so good on T.V. and then when it's delivered, well, you know what you get.

Traditionally, Katy's rival has always been Katy Taylor, but lately, the Cinco game has been considered "THE GAME" in our district, with sellout crowds, and t-shirts, and balloons, and hype, then the game gets underway and that's about it.

I will be very surprised if Cinco can travel to Southlake and pull this off. I will surprised if Cinco can even make this a game and I think the Dragons can win this by at least three TD's.

I have tremendous respect for Coach Clayton and the Cinco program and I truly wish them the best, but they just aren't quite to the next level yet.

I hope that Cinco Ranch does indeed show up with a number of fans and fills the visitor side, or at least makes a decent stab at it. Given the timing and the distance, I would be impressed. All the fans would certainly be very welcome here in Southlake.

It is decidedly true that Carroll lost the majority of its starters both on offense and on defense. The Dragons have also proved to be a relatively slow starting bunch so far this season and the Carroll defense has had to step up in the first quarter. As it seems like forever since we've seen our guys play, your prediction for a defensive game makes some sense, especially in the first half. But from what I remember of the Dragons, the offensive is likely to get warmed up at some point.

[SLCbacker]

Ok, this is the makeup game for the Bellaire cancellation. It sounds like Cinco Ranch is playing some good ball now. Lets hear what you think will happen.
31-13 Dragons

[slcdragonfan]

31-13 Dragons

Yep, that's the one. Agreed on that score.

[Katy Band 2010]

SLC wins 27-12

[DragonFan0316]

How about 31-13 that includes a special teams touchdown? I am feeling it. Don't think we have had one of those since McKay Jacobson's Sophmore year.

[slcdragonfan]

How about 31-13 that includes a special teams touchdown? I am feeling it. Don't think we have had one of those since McKay Jacobson's Sophmore year.

Sure, why not? I'd really like to put in a request for a 100 yard return for a touchback ala Burkhead, but that means CR would be on the verge of scoring and I don't want that. Anyway, the special teams TD would put the score at 38-13, cause the O has to get their 31. I'm looking for #22 to step up some more on D, loved the way he chased that guy down in the Mesquite game I think it was, and he is due for some interceptions. Since the secondary coach is teaching algebra II to my daughter, I am going to put in a special request.:D

#22 is special. He did have 1 pick against Mesquite. He was on the ground when he caught it though. If he catches one upright it should be exciting to watch him go. And he is only a Junior.:notworthy

The Dragon defense hasn't given up a total of 38 points all season. After this game, they'll still be under that. Believe it. I'm updating my prediction. Our kids are so ready to play this game. Having two weeks to prepare, CR is lucky to get in the endzone one time. This will be the attention getter, the statement game for Carroll as they roll into district play.

Carroll - 38
Cinco - 7

This will bring the season total for points allowed to 36. I love this defense.

wasn't it cr 3-0 ovr katy at the half in 2006? i agree here. cr has had som good teams, but never have gottn over the hump. this year's team plays with purpose and the D is good, not elite though. they have been commiting turnovers for past 2 games. that will not work at dragon stad.

I have just checked the Southlake Carroll website and yes you are correct there is an asterisk next to the 2006 Playoff Game : Southlake Carroll 22-Euless Trinity 21*. *Trinity should have won this game but their coach made a poor call on a 4th down and went for fake punt and failed.

Better said, if you run the calendar from the end of the Arlington game, to the start of the Katy Cinco game, you can count 28 days, I believe. We had one game (Mesquite) during that time.

Most kids will tell you, practice sucks. It's games that make it all worthwhile. Just a bad set of circumstance, that's all.

Schedule breaks and uncertainty have been tough on this team. They need the games so they can get develop some momentum. I think this shows in the slow starts.

I think, as we begin this march of 12 games to the title, we'll look back on the inactivity and think of it as a good thing. I have much faith in Wasson and his staff. They seem to be real teachers of the game. All this extra practice will pay off. There is no substitute for game competition, especially for a young team, however the time we have gained to practice as a unit, with no agenda other than to improve our cohesion & execution, will prove invaluable. The manner in which this young squad carries itself already suggestes maturity beyond their years. Now, they'll have the opportunity to let loose and make their mark. Let the march begin.

I think what has really made a huge difference this year is that Coach Wasson has an offensive coordinator and is more focused on being a CEO for lack of a better term. Not many coaches can be HC and OC as Todd did but I think TD is realizing that it is impossible at the college level.

[15Adragon]

77 points. Ouch.

[green day]

I watched some practice this week. The lineman have been beating up on each other for awhile and should be ready to take on some non- Dragons for a change. Getting a little testy, I would say. Look for us to control the game in the trenches, on both sides.

The score might get lopsided - but all the Dragon players will know there was another team on the field with them.

I think Cinco Ranch will do a fine job of representing KISD.

I think Cinco Ranch will do a fine job of representing KISD.

I'm just excited to get to watch a game! I'm sure 5 ranches will bring it. Be safe Katy travelers!

[ScottS]

Good foresight. When is ScottS going to use one for the Bellaire game? Just because it wasn't played doesn't mean he can't claim the win.

Um, it wasn't played. BTW, Bellaire beat a team 53-6 this week.

Close early and once SLC gets up by 2 scores its over. If CR starts turning the ball over this one could get ugly.

[82Texan]

All hail Cinco Ranch, dragonslayer!

I know alot of these Cinco boys and this is their chance to do what needs to be done. They can earn alot of respect tonight, not only for themselves but for the enitre football playing universe. Okay maybe just for the district.
Good luck to both teams and to all my Cinco folks, drive safe and yell loud! I'll be at Rhodes watching the 7L festivities.

Be nice. Those guys are travelling possibly 5 hours on a Friday night to fill your schedule. Kiss their ***** when they get there. I'm sure there are better dumps than Fort Worth within 1/2 an hour they could have visited tonight.

They aint no stepchild. Just because they don't spend their money on silicone implants like you guys do, does not mean they can't afford it. :D

Besides, it's not like Southlake where they're the trailer trash compared to Highland Park. :D

We're elated to have them. I know you didn't dump on Fort Worth. You've been to Houston. I worry about your mental well being. Being a stepchild has nothing to do with momma's implants. It means you have a big brother in the same house that's been spanking that *** for years. They qualify. We're all the trash cluttering up Highland Park's world, so I'm good with that.:D

After this game, any doubters about our 08 kids will be obliterated. Call it a coming out party. Call it bad manners. Call it whatever you want. What it will be is a statement victory.:cool:

If there are doubters, I'm not sure where they're getting that from. Carroll are playing the most consistent ball in the state at the moment, it would seem. I think I stated on another thread that they should be the favorites in any Div they go to in the playoffs.

Going for the upset. Cinco Ranch 38-35

Cant stand it, can ya!:rolleyes:

[15Adragon]

Cant stand it, can ya!:rolleyes:

It is obvious that you have not been following the Dragons closely. This D will not give up 38 at home.

[toonman]

A high school football game on a Friday night in Southlake?

Can someone please explain this phenomenon to me?

[SLC93]

It is obvious that you have not been following the Dragons closely. This D will not give up 38 at home.

As I've stated earlier, this D hasn't given up even 30 point this season. Why anyone would think a team is going to come into Dragon Stadium and put up 38 is beyond me. Carroll has always gotten a bad rap when it comes to defense. We actually play a pretty good brand of defense. 2004 was an exception but they did win a state title/ The 08 & 09 defenses are going to be scary. Folks don't associate that with us. Shame on them.

[Trojan4653]

While Carroll has a lot of new faces at starting positions, it has been said often that many of the defensive players had major playing time last year. These same kids have been together since pee-wee's and are very tight. I really believe we will be thanking the D several times this year.

Hey bkr....can a couple of Trojans sneak in on the visitors side, ya think? We wont be too obnoxious cheering ya'll.;)

[trojanbacker]

I plan on being there. I plan to leave my Trojan-wear at home, though.

[Trojan4653]

It is obvious that you have not been following the Dragons closely. This D will not give up 38 at home.

I actually meant that Mr Woodlands cant stand a N Texas team whuppin up on the S Texas boys, so he picks the upset. I have seen SLC play lots of 7 on 7 against us and have an idea of what they bring to the party.

[Malmason]

:confused: Several questions... please bare with me, as I am not that familiar with foodball or US high school system.

1. SLC's record is outstanding. Is SLC a public school or private school? It amazes me for any public school to keep winning as there are restrictions of how the students were gathered. At the same time, I have not heard often any private school being 5A size.

2. How come SLC did not have any game at all in this year? I can understand for missing a game or so due to Ike, but not all.

3. As this is out of district game, who and how do those out of district game get match? Does someone cast a lot?

4. It seems like there are many fans of SLC on this board. Is it because this is a strong school with a long history of winning?

Thank you in advance.

unfortunately consistently not playing does not make one better. i doubt many coaches think that 1 game a month is the right ratio. if any region has an excuse for being down this year, it has to be reg 3.

1. SLC's record is outstanding. Is SLC a public school or private school? It amazes me for any public school to keep winning as there are restrictions of how the students were gathered.

2. How come SLC did not have any game at all in this year? I can understand for missing a game or so due to Ike, but not all. We've played 3 games and have had 2 cancelled due to the storm

3. As this is out of district game, who and how do those out of district game get match? Does someone cast a lot? Coaches call each other and work it out during the off season

4. It seems like there are many fans of SLC on this board. Is it because this is a strong school with a long history of winning? We have a lot of football fans in Southlake with laptops.

Thank you in advance.

I can't believe Cinco Ranch scored 24 points on the Dragons. Cinco must be pretty good this season.
Congrats to your Dragons. I know ya'll needed a game but Cinco must have represented 17-5A pretty well under the circumstances they were under to get 24 on the board. How did Cinco look to the Dragon faithful?

As KT2000 said, they never quit...Cinco was 4-0 coming into this game...really it was just a couple of big plays by Cinco, a 70 yard run to the Carroll 1, and a pass play. Otherwise they really couldn't move the ball. Carroll's D gave up a few too many big plays, but the Dragon O was rolling. Long ride back to Katy tonight for those guy's. That is tough, up to Southlake and back to Katy in the same day.

[ScottS]

Ok, back from the game. I do think Cinco is pretty good. When they switched to the pass, they were moving it on us. This was not SLC's best game. 3 turnovers, penalties, soft DB coverage. The run defense was pretty good and Padron got rolling early. One thing I did notice, Cinco Ranch's coach is a hothead. He was riding the refs on multiple occations.

[rorib7]

the SLC quarterback is amazing...actually the whole team is amazing...
This is just going by top 25 on this site but are Trinity and Plano both that good?

Yeah once I realized how stout the SLC run defense was I doubted we had a chance because passing is not our strong suit for sure. I mean you can say we were at a distinct disadvantage due to not having our band and having to travel but in the end we were just plain outmatched... so then after seeing us do you think we should b in the top 25 as we are now?

[drgnbkr]

No band what the heck?

The football team did an up and back to Katy all in one day...pretty tough to pull off for the band and other performers. I give them credit, they put up a good fight, but the Dragon offense had too much for them.

[rorib7]

No band what the heck?

yeah the band has a competition tomorrow morning in killeen so they didn't want to be getting back to katy so late and have to be back at the school at 630 am or so

Yep, Cinco seems like a top 25 team. Also, Cinco brought alot of fans for how far away the game was.

[TheBigPeach]

How many fans did Cinco bring?

[drgnbkr]

How many fans did Cinco bring?

The middle section was 2/3 full on the visitors side. I'd say a good 200-300 fans in maroon. Anyone else want to hazard a guess?

Very well coached team. They made adjustments and never quit. They took advantage of turnovers. Their star running back was out for the game after a long run early in the game and still they did not give up. A good tough team!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drag Goon]

Just got back from the game. For a team that supposedly doesn't throw the ball that well, Cinco looked good throwing it. #5 has a good arm and they were taking advantage of SL DB's. SL had several sacks in the first half but I only remember one in the second half on a 4th down play.

SL offense looked good at times but had too many turnovers. SL defense gave up too many big plays and had trouble defending the pass. Of course, I am a "cup half empty" type of guy.

I was kind of surprised Wasson brought in the backups in the middle of the fourth quarter. I would have like to see the first team get some more reps since they have played so few games. Of course, if somebody got hurt we (me) would have called it a coaching blunder. Plus, it is nice for the second teamers to get some game action when the game is still relatively close.

I also listened to the game on the radio and it appears Cinco was missing a few players. Regarding them being a top 25 team, I would say they probably are at least in the discussion. Their Offense moved the ball better than anybody else has against our defense. They took advantage of our weekness (pass defense) even though that was not their strong suit. I have not seen very many teams this year so my knowledge is limited.

Thanks to Cinco for coming to Southlake and giving us a game. I hope all the players and fans have a safe ride home. Good luck the rest of the year.

Ok, back from the game. I do think Cinco is pretty good. When they switched to the pass, they were moving it on us. This was not SLC's best game. 3 turnovers, penalties, soft DB coverage. The run defense was pretty good and Padron got rolling early. One thing I did notice, Cinco Ranch's coach is a hothead. He was riding the refs on multiple occations.

He got 2 bad calls right in front of their bench. The ref said he did not see if the catch was in and they had already moved the chains.

Yeah once I realized how stout the SLC run defense was I doubted we had a chance because passing is not our strong suit for sure. I mean you can say we were at a distinct disadvantage due to not having our band and having to travel but in the end we were just plain outmatched... so then after seeing us do you think we should b in the top 25 as we are now?

Definetly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 of the refs got together and agreed it was a catch, in spite of the Cinco coach in the linesman's face...He was a bit out of control, and their receivers seemed to want to try and get an interference call on every thrown ball that wasn't caught...but it works sometimes and they made a few plays.

Just got back from the game. For a team that supposedly doesn't throw the ball that well, Cinco looked good throwing it. #5 has a good arm and they were taking advantage of SL DB's. SL had several sacks in the first half but I only remember one in the second half on a 4th down play.

SL offense looked good at times but had too many turnovers. SL defense gave up too many big plays and had trouble defending the pass. Of course, I am a "cup half empty" type of guy.

I was kind of surprised Wasson brought in the backups in the middle of the fourth quarter. I would have like to see the first team get some more reps since they have played so few games. Of course, if somebody got hurt we (me) would have called it a coaching blunder. Plus, it is nice for the second teamers to get some game action when the game is still relatively close.

I also listened to the game on the radio and it appears Cinco was missing a few players. Regarding them being a top 25 team, I would say they probably are at least in the discussion. Their Offense moved the ball better than anybody else has against our defense. They took advantage of our weekness (pass defense) even though that was not their strong suit.

Yeah a few good players were missing...Shane didn't start and we really did better once they brought him in and took zack out...zack is still pretty good though. Mainly Adam had our only real big running play with a (i think) 73 yard run? then he went out of the game due to an injury. That was the biggest blow but it was good to see we could actually pass the ball somewhat. Maybe now our offense won't be strictly give the ball to Adam and let him run it or Shane keeps it and runs it himself...

Our corner, #22 Rogers ran him down and while it wasn't a horse collar tackle, it stressed him at full speed from behind as Casey jumped on his back...hope he is ok for next week.

Back from the game and here are my thoughts.

Defense:

I was right that the defense would not allow 30 points at home (almost had to eat this one).

Run defense and pass rush were very good. I think the pass defense was pretty good too. Let's give CR some credit here. They had a lot of speed and athletic ability at the skill positions.

The defense was a little rusty and that explains the big plays. This was a great test to get us ready for district play.

Offense:
Good - We have started connecting on the deep ball. Quick points are a SLC staple and we had that working tonight.

Very aggresssive on offense.

Slashing running and great pass protection.

Bad - Turnovers! Got to eliminate these.

Nuf said.

Oh, did you see the 58 yard punt at the end of the game - kudos.
