Cove VS. Garland

[covefan2008]

These "Owls" will have a tough time against the Dawg's Defense or Offense. Ya Y'all beat Carter but Cove is a diffrent team and according to the rankings better team so y'all can talk smack but this game is going to be tough who do you think will win?

These "Owls" don't stand a chance against the Dawg's Defense or Offense. Ya Y'all beat Carter but Cove is a diffrent team and according to the rankings better team so y'all can talk smack but this game is going to be tough who do you think will win?

I thought we already had a thread about Cove vs. Garland. Complete with a poll and everything. Maybe I am dreaming.

Obviously, we "Owls" don't stand a chance against the Dawg's Defense or Offense. It may be true that we beat Carter, but Cove is a different team - and, according to the rankings, a better team. Sure, we can talk a lot of smack, but this game is going to be tough.

Cove 92
"Owls" 2

[Owls06]

That's a pretty loaded question you ask there sir.

To have Owls in quotes shows that you have no respect for our team, fans, or program. The Garland fans on this forum have been nothing but respectful of your team and hope for a good game with no injuries. No Garland fans have been "talkin' smack" towards your team and your program. However, Cove fans like you give us a bad image of your school. Moreoever, I know that there are many Cove fans here that stray from your mentality of "we are the best you suck" and those are the fans I have tons of respect for and they give me the impression that Cove is a good, respectable program.

With that said.

I think Garland will win late in the game. Garland has good catch up speed in the secondary and will eliminate the "big play." If Garland can contain any option game and able to establish a good running game they will win. Cove wins if they can consistently stack eight in the box AND be able to cover deep on the PA. Great game ahead guys!! No injuries!

[covefan2008]

ya they do but it was getting a little full so i made a new one.


is the bottom thing saying:
Dawgs 92
"owls" 2

is that a score prediction, i'm confused?

[garlandowl08]

ya they do but it was getting a little full so i made a new one.


is the bottom thing saying:
Dawgs 92
"owls" 2

is that the scor because that would be correct.

Wow...the ego on this kid is amazing...

i was just making a joke and from the posts on the other thread you really don't have much room to talk

I'm sorry, my mistake.

I meant for that to be the halftime score.

Final:

Dawgs 147
"Owls" 4

I expect our defense to be much better in the second half...

That isn't nesiserraly true if you look at the other thread you see a lot of people in favor of the owls "talking smack" and the comment was pionted to them so i am truly sorry if i have offended you good luck and no injuries

[huge-cove-fan]

what can i say they are a 4th q. team so i know the dawgs are sure to win :confused:

So your saying no Garland fan has been disrespectful to Cove in any way. I remember reading a post that said we beat Carter, should whip Cove...Yall know nothing about us and we know nothing about you. By the way didnt yall lose to Carter once this year.(not trying to rip n e one,yall beat them in the playoffs which counts)

[garlandowl08]

If I'm not mistaken, the person that said that was a Lufkin fan who wanted a rematch with Garland after '03

[poolangel]

C'mon fellas. First off, posting all these quotes is very annoying to us all I'm sure. Here's the facts as I know them: Cove finished #7 in State and Garland finished #16. Now what does that mean in the playoffs? Probably nothing. But there are people out there who make up these ratings who know enough about the teams to do so. Fact remains, us Cove fans don't know much about Garland and they (the fans) don't know much about us. That's why the coaches exchange film, prepare the troops for battle, and the unit with the best ability to adapt and overcome the adveristy's of the game will riegn victorious. Obviously both teams have been able to do so up to now. In the playoffs, it's all about matchups. I don't care what anyone says, I watched the game and Harker Hieghts happened to match up well with Lufkin. I for one am rooting for my Dawgs and expect them to win. Only because they are a very good team who adjusts well. Does Garland have the same ability? We will see. The important thing is that all the Dawg fans encourage everyone you know to go to the game wheather or not they are true fans or fare weather fans, it does'nt matter as it will still be fun. So Lets pack the Dawg House with Blue and Gold.....Go Dawgs

I know it seems like I'm beating a dead horse, and I do want to thank you for at least trying to be the voice of reason, however I have one thing to say about the rankings

One of the main reasons we are not in teh top 10 is because we are not undefeated...however, one of our 2 losses came to the very same Dallas Carter team that we beat when it mattered...the other loss came in a freak game that our players vowed never to let happen again (we had like 7 fumbles or something crazy like that).

[covefan2008]

nun the less they still sed it.

[poolangel]

OK. Go Dawgs

[TheDawghouse]

i repeat we do not overlook ANYONE. thats why we are where we are.

[garlandowl08]

Does your idiocy know no bounds?! (J/K!)

It bugs me when people don't take the time to press that extra little key to spell the full word (nun --> none, sed--> said)

[poolangel]

Hey Garlandowl08, Reference ratings...it does'nt matter to the team and coaching staff what your rating is. I just thought I'd mention some facts. Here's another one. The Dawgs will take your team very seriously and prepare for them as though they were #1! Go Dawgs

[Cove1999]

Garland fans, these cove folks are proud of the team, and should be. They dont know anything about the "Owls", our history or traditions, so let em rave on. I did check on the "Cove" record. That trditional powerhouse, Waco took them to two overtimes. BTW, Wacos record was 2-8 on the year. Dont know much about the "Cove" district, but I dont recall any recent state championships out of that district. Lets let the game be played on the field. Its going to be a long week with this this and other threads. Like I have said, the "OWLS", The Black Knights of Duck Creek, will show up for the game, and play. Like I have said; We are just honored to be on the same field with "Cove". Maybe we could get some autographs. Shucks, we aint never seen no good football teams before. LOL

Not like 11-5A is a powehouse this year friend. And COVE was taken to 2ot and won!! Last time I looked at records Garland all ready has 2 loses and one of those you gave up 56 points. So excuse us COVE fans if we don't fear you.
To give you your due respect you must have a good team or you would not still be playing but get a grip

[Black&Gold06]

Okay lets get some research done here before we start trash talking anymore

I know rankings dont mean anything - but I looked at rivals.com state player rankings and for the district teams that cove has played and the two playoff teams there are 2 state ranked players...and cove has none.

Teams garland faced in district or in the playoffs have 5 state ranked players and Garland has 2...

so maybe im just trying to say - cove probably hasnt faced a DT of Antwine's caliber (he's the top rated DT in the state...) and that the size (yes i know they are "quick") might be a hindrance as Antwine is also very athletic.

From now on lets at least use stats instead of trash.

The team that Garland lost to in OT was our traditional rival De Soto and that was in FIVE ots. They were a playoff team (was Waco). The other loss was to Carter, 21-14, then we beat them 12-7 last Friday. We beat a little 4a school called Ennis some of you "Cove" people may have heard of them. Our RB Donte Sloan had 300+ yrds in that game. They were 4a state champions last year BTW. Like I have said, "Cove" is great. but I think the Garland Owls will show up and play.

[SLCDRGN]

I believe Cove wins and wins BIG. I sat and watched the entire Carter/Garland game and could not believe what I saw. That was the most boring game I have watched in many years. I thought Carter was horrible on both sides of the ball. They had open receivers at times but their quarterback could not hit the side of a barn with a football from 10 feet away. They would go the the spread, open up the field and start moving the ball & then go back to that tight formation and crumble. Other issues that come to mind are, no discipline from the coaching staff, Poor coaching, frags all night, personal fouls........Keep in mind, Garland only beat this team by 5 points. Garland did nothing in this game that made me believe they would go deep in the playoffs.

[BigWhiteJake]

Ill say it again, I think Cove is the best team in D2 whose only 5A loss isnt to the Katy Tigers...

Wow. Where do I begin? Obviously some people somewhere think Carter is pretty good considering any poll you look at they are top 10 in the state? Have you ever thought that maybe it was just a defensive game? Not every team tries to put 50 on the board by halftime...

[GarlandOwl06]

Ill say it again, I think Cove is the best team in D2 whose only 5A loss isnt to the Katy Tigers...
Have you ever heard of a team that wears green and goes by the name "the Dragons". They're the best team til proven otherwise.

[gtownowlfootball06]

No one who has talked down on Garland knows anything about them. I'm glad you Cove fans have pride in your team, but you guys do not know what you're up against. And I'm sorry that our game bored you SLCDRGN, we played football, not basketball like ya'll do. We also played something called a "defensive" game, something I don't think Southlake has ever done. That's what happens when you don't put all your best athletes at WR. For all those that think Cove will blow us out simply because of our loss to DeSoto, I must say that in my 4 years in highschool I have NEVER seen the Owls play worse. There are reasons and excuses of course, but one stat most people didn't see in that high scoring game. Garland was down 14-0, came back to tie at 14. DeSoto went up 28-14, and Garland battle back to tie it up at 28. DeSoto scored half their points in overtime, when the field is more than halved. That was also the second game of the season. Since then, we haven't given up more than 23 points. Our defense is FAST, faster than anything ya'll have faced. The slowest starter on D runs a 4.8(DT Robert Wilson). Coming up the middle at you as well will be 6'1 275 pound defensive tackle Brandon Antwine. He runs a 4.7(it's great when you see the DT making plays sideline to sideline) and is also one of the strongest players on the team. He is the 2nd ranked tackle in the state, 5th in the nation and being recruited by USC and Florida. I read on the other thread that you have an undersized line that averages 5'11 220. If that is the case, and that is the size of your centers/guards, you guys are in a world of trouble. Antwine will be blowing through their blocks all day. You guys run an option? Coming off one side will be Devonta Brown. He is 6'0 195 and runs a 4.45. Carter has HUGE offensive tackles(one is 6'7" 340), and he was blowing into the backfield all night. He didn't lose containment on Carter's run based defense all night, even on the option, which is what killed us against DeSoto. Our linebacker run in the 4.4-4.6 range and are very good against the run. but not as good in coverage. Our secondary is also very fast and loaded with playmakers. A good example is safety John Murphy. He runs a 4.4, can light you up and is great in coverage. On the first play of the South Garland game, he intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown. On the first play against Carter, he stripped their running back. Tim Crosby(CB) also makes big plays(he had a huge interception at the one yard line against Carter). Devin McDowell, the fastest player on the team, starts at safety and plays some running back as well. He has had some key interceptions and breaks up a lot of passes. Malcolm Williams, who has been out for a few games with a broken toe, plays WR and DB. He has forced 4 fumbles on the year, returning one for a TD in the DeSoto game. He is 6'2 and very fast and will give any receiver under 6'4 problems. On offense, we have a mostly undersized but very strong line. Buddy Brumit(6'3 280 OT playing OG at Tech next year) is the biggest lineman and probably the best. He plays alongside Jeremny Kennedy(6'2 300 OG) and we run alot to that side. If you think you have a great undersized O-line, I would say the same about ours. At running back, we have Dante Sloan. He rushed for 1200 yards so far this year(even though he missed 4 games with grades and halves of 2 different games with an ankle injury). If he is at 100%, he will whip through your D-line, especially if it is undersized. He is a powerful runner and is very good at breaking tackles. His backups are Jonny Wooten, who is fast and strong, but holds the ball wrong and has had some fumbling issues in the past. Voss Williams is RB 2a on the depth chart. He is VERY fast, and is only 5'3 so it is hard to see him behind the O-Line. He came up huge against John Tyler running 40 yards on 4th and 5 for the winning score. At QB, we have Greg Hunter. He is a JR and has played since the Ennis game because Tim Crosby(back in the secondary) tore his rotator cuff against DeSoto. He has decent passing numbers, but with the amount the offense runs, he usually only has 10-15 attempts a game. He has shown more decisiveness as of late, knowing when to run and when to throw. He ran designed plays up the middle very effectively against Carter. At WR, we have David Little and Malcolm Williams, both Juniors and both good receivers. I don't have any numbers on speed but I know that they are both over 6 foot. They are good receivers and if they have a height advantage on DBs, they will easily jump over them to make the catch. Little had a great TD catch on 4th down in the JT game that brought us to 14-20. Williams burned Carter for a 65 yard touchdown reception the first game and will be a welcome addition back to the offense. Our tight ends(Andrew Kirk and Ryan Parker, both about 6'1 220) mostly block but they are very capable of making big plays in play action. This is just my fair analysis of what our team has. I would like to note that I didn't say Garland is better, faster or bigger than Cove. If anyone can give a similar analysis on Cove I would appreciate it. Sorry I got a bit less specific at the end, I am very tired of typing this long post. Hope this helps you Cove fans let you know what you're up against. I know we won't roll over you guys, but don't except to roll over us either.

[GTown02]

That is the longest paragraph ive ever read on this site! ;)

Enough with the smack talk... Two great programs this season going head to head... let the players decide the outcome on the field.

I know nothing about Cove other than what fans have said, so we'll see what happens Friday night. I would love to see the Owls win, but if they dont, I hope its a good fight to the end. Lets have a good game, and I hope both teams come away with no injuries...

[owlfan 1]

It's not enough that we've been talking smack about Longview, Lufkin and Copperas Cove, now we've got to talk smack to SLC.

We're pretty good, guys, but c'mon...

I'm going to bed...

[lufkinfootballguru84]

I would be shocked if copperas cove won this game by a blowout, Garland has a really good team, IF we get by SG, I would rather the pack play cove than garland. :eek:

[Brant_Scott_76]

anyone wanna start guessing what the score on this game is gonna be or are yall saving that for tues. and wensday? haha

[lufkinfootballguru84]

cove 23 garland 20

[LLionsAunt]

Well I voted. Want to guess who for after last Saturday night? ;) Way to go Dawgs. It was a great game. Bites were are done but I would love to see you go all the way. Good luck!

Carter's D only gave up 6 points as well as Garland's. Most defensive games won't be exciting, but I think I would rather have my team be able to stop opposing offenses than trying to see who can outscore eachother on one side. I do agree with you about the spread not being used other than the one posession where Carter scored, but coaching is part of the game and Garland won. I hope Cove feels like you because they will lose big and wonder to themselves, "I thought this was a boring team." Go Owls!

He sounds like a truly great player.
A few years ago we faced another one in Killeen Ellison's Tommie Lee Harris (All American at Oklahoma and now with Chicago Bears) and Waco's Derrick Johnson (All-American at Texas and now with KC Chiefs).
Cove won both games.
Yep, Waco took us to 2OT. We beat Converse Judson with a last minute TD.
We have beaten A&M Conso (currently 5-A Div 1 regional finalist) and trashed Klein Forest and Leander (state ranked).
Should be a great game. Come early. Tailgate with us if you like.

Temple and ACM won championships in the 90's and the killeen schools are brand new a few years ago and this is coves year so whats up what bout yall maybe in the 60's or 70's

[jonjon06]

Let's say if Dallas Carter had one give me you all thoughts on who would've won us or Cove. In the process give some scores predictions as well. Good luck Cove because the Garland owls or no push overs. They're big and believe me they are fast so I hope you all bring your "a" game because they will bring theirs.


Red Storm 4-Ever!!!

[PurpleNation]

I look at this game and I cant see the Owls being an underdog in this one. That have one of the best defenses in the state and they control the clock and the best thing about them is they are clutch against state ranked teams. Every year Garland is overlooked. Cove has a great team but if they can not have success throwing the ball then they will be in trouble. Garland loves to play in a low scoring game and a defensive slugfest cause usually they come out on top by controlling the ball for the majority of the game.

My Prediction

Garland 24

Cove 21

[CCDawgs05]

Wow. Where do I begin? Obviously some people somewhere think Carter is pretty good considering any poll you look at they are top 10 in the state? Have you ever thought that maybe it was just a defensive game? Not every team tries to put 50 on the board by halftime...

Well yall dont try to put 50 on the board by halftime, but we do. We put up 42 in the first round and 21 against a tought Leander D. 42 by the end of the game. If Im not mistaken we have scored the most points in the state through the first 2 rounds, 108. We have allowed 40, but 21 were in the 4th against Leander when our D had the number 2's in a prevent style.

[gtowndrumma]

so you allowed 21 points against leadner because your second string defense was in..... you have to have depth to win this far, and if your defense isnt very talented beyond the first string then you are going to be in some trouble because we all know that the starters can not play the entire game. they just cant

[DawgDave]

Against Klein Forrest the 4th quarter was pretty much played by our JV that Coach Welch brought to the game (100+ players in all).
We sub freely. Lots of different people in different positions.


Now let's stop the trash talking. This should be a good game.
Good luck to you and your Owls, but I'm putting my $$ on the Dawgs.

Thats where your wrong my friend. The Dawg starters are extremely well conditioned and can go 4 quarters of smack mouth football. A few of them may even go both ways! In fact I'll give you a little hint. If you don't know it, the Dawgs own the 4th quarter. They don't just put thier hands up in hope, they mean it! It's going to be a very good game. I just cant' wait!!! Go Mighty Dawgs!

"A few may go both ways" -- is that a hunch or are you confirming you have players going both ways? Kinda helps to know who is actually playing on your team when you post Poolangel.

I feel sorry for the Cove... they have a sophomore tryin to defend them ( 2008)

are starters cant play the whole game?? HA our team is one of the most conditions team in the state we have multiple players that play both sides of the ball!! so are u sayin ur players cant play the whole game?Seems like yall have a problem! Is that why yall lost cause ur guys got tired? our guys can play the whole game, THIS FAR UR JUST GONNA HAVE TO SUCK IT UP AND PLAY 48 MINUTES! You have to be a conditioned team to play this far in the playoffs!

No we lost because we played some good teams in preseason... we havent lost since week 4 against Dallas Carter...

[gtowndrumma]

im not saying your guys arent conditioned.... i was just making a comment after one of your posters said the only reason yall gave up those 21 points against leander is becasue your 2ND STRING DEFENSE WAS IN. and as far as Garland not having endurance, you keep thinking that and just wait for friday. and no, our starters dont play the whole game. but its not because they cant, its because our coach likes to rotate players so they will still be fresh by the 4th quarter.

Ya, and that Desoto team lost to Euless Trinity, Waxahachie, Cedar Hill, Plano and Arlington.....all of which went to the playoffs.

Again, there are quality losses....and quality wins!!!!!

DeSoto went to the playoffs. Owlfans if you want a good laugh, look up the record for Waco. lol. They took this great "cove" team to two OT's :rolleyes:

Ya, Cove beat Waco (2-8) 29-21 in 3 OT's!! Oh and Waco got slapped by Tyler Lee!!!

That a way Cove, give the little guy a chance!! ;)

[DawgsFanForLife]

Actually DA Waco may have been 2-8 and i am not a Waco fan they always have a solid team. If that 2-8 team was matching up against some "WHO WHO's" i would take the Waco team.
Regardless of the Waco record they are not a team that just layed over and took it.

LOL, another thread of this...

By the way, I think Cove will win this but I am seening Garland playing harder teams and harder district this year so it will be close one, OF COURSE.

[Stranglehold]

Well yall dont try to put 50 on the board by halftime, but we do. We put up 42 in the first round and 21 against a tought Leander D. 42 by the end of the game. If Im not mistaken we have scored the most points in the state through the first 2 rounds, 108. We have allowed 40, but 21 were in the 4th against Leander when our D had the number 2's in a prevent style.

Yeah, it was a 14-7 game before the coaches at Leander laid an egg with about 1.5 minutes to go before half to give you the ball back. Leander should have run the ball and went in at half down 14-7. Don't get me wrong C/C was the better team but they were allowed to steal all the momentum going into halftime.

I see this game being somewhere in the range of 28-24/ 31-28 range. The team that makes a mistake like a tunrover or penalty (something like an unsportsmanlike penalty where a DB shove the ball into the opposing QB's face) may find themselves turing in pads on Monday. Both fan bases are crazy - the atmospere will be electric inside Waco ISD stadium.

The defense who clamps down late may decide it...
