**Carroll Dragon Fan Thread**

[chhspantherfan]

So make another one quickly..

well done Sir

[DragonFan0316]

Carroll always seems to have a good O-Line even though they are not recognized as such. Returning starters will help. WR's abound in this town. Don't know about LBs. Looking forward to a great year.:yes:

In reference to the question about Reliant. I saw a post from the Reliant Stadium manager on twitter mentioning their interest in looking into purchasing artificial turf to be used for State Championship weekend. But, I do believe SA is next up in the rotation for two years. We shall see how it plays out. Obviously money drives the boat on this.

I used to think there was a rotation but I thought I heard somewhere that Cowboy Stadium was going to be the new home of the UIL state championships. I could be wrong but I bet coach Ozee would know.

Interesting. I haven't seen anything official one way or the other. I guess I just assumed especially since I saw that tweet about Reliant looking into turf. Time shall tell.

I have some good memories about SA though so I wouldn't mind a road trip.:) We owned the river walk.

Carroll girls won their opening tournament game this evening at Dragon Stadium over Austin Westlake by a score of 1-0. The girls play again in the morning at 10:00 against Amarillo Palo Duro.

[DrEdward]

The girls won again this morning in the Elite Tournament being held at various spots in Tarrant County. Carroll outscored Palo Duro by a margin of 12-0 at Dragon Stadium.

The game this evening at TCU, 8:00pm. will match Carroll against Rosary, California. This might prove to be a pretty good game, but I am a bit soccered out at the moment, so I think I might just go watch the boys and girls play basketball instead.

Carroll boys and girls won their basketball games this evening at Guyer. Unfortunately, the girls may have suffered a key loss in the process. Will know more later on.:(

Carroll's girls won a soccer game last night at TCU over Rosary, California. Score was 2-0. The girls will play again today at noon at Dragon Stadium.

Carroll girls defeated Clear Lake by a score of 1-0 in the Elite Sports Tournament this afternoon, scoring the go-ahead goal with but 3:45 left in the game. That gives the Lady Dragons a 4-0 mark in the tournament for 2012.

I believe the boys are playing for the championship of the Berkner Tournament this evening.

I started to go watch the swim meet but ended up at soccer instead. Anyone know how the swim meet went?

I have an inside source for TCU, I will check.

I believe Missouri is interested in Hill as well, especially given the outcome with the last Carroll QB to attend their institution.

[DrEdward]

Carroll girls defeated Mansfield Summit last night 4-0 in the Arlington Tournament; they play again at 9:00 this morning against Colleyville at their place.

Basketball injuries finally caught up to the girls last night as playing with two starters out resulted in a one point loss to Keller. The boys had no more success either, as they also lost to the Indians. :(

On a brighter note relative to Keller, the Carroll swimming and diving teams, both boys and girls, completely dominated their meet with all the Keller schools Thursday evening, winning all save two events.

[DrEdward]

Carroll girls won this morning's soccer match against Colleyville by a score of 3-0. They will play again this evening at 5:00 at Grapevine.

[Drag Goon]

Carroll girls won the championship game in the soccer tournament today by a 2-0 score against a game Keller squad. The varsity girls are now 8-0 with no goals scored against them.

Oh. My. God. Please KH, pretty please come to TTU.

[dragonpants]

Oh. My. God. Please KH, pretty please come to TTU.

It will be interesting to see where he lands, I wouldn't think Tech would be at the top of his list but I have no idea.
I loved Tech when ya'll had the Pirate running things.
I am a half arsed TCU fan because of Panther but they are loaded with QB's for the next few years.
I would love to see him run Oregon's offense but if he were to go to Baylor with Briles could be exciting.
I cannot bring myself to be an Aggie fan but Summerlins offense might fit Kenny's still set.
The only offer I know of for sure at this point is Tech.

[DragonFan0316]

Where ever he goes it will be exciting to watch him. He still has some unfinished business here though.

[DrEdward]

The boys were rained/lightning out tonight in soccer. On the other hand, the weather was fine in the gym at Carroll. The boys took the Texans from Northwest scoring only 42 to win by a five point margin. The girls scored a few more than the boys tonight, putting up 90 in a 50 point win over Northwest.

[DragonFan0316]

It really is refreshing that we are good at most anything we do. Got to love the kids, coaches and community. Way to go Dragons.

[Drag Goon]

Awesome defense!

While the defense has been good, the ability to keep the pressure on offense limits the other team's scoring chances. The other team will often have to drop more people back on defense which limits their offensive numbers. All in all, a good team effort all around. :yes:

Maybe the girls can pick up where the boys left off last year!:D

Hey, It's all in the name of supporting the kids. Some of the lesser publicized sports only get the parental involvement, so it's always nice when the kids know there are folks there supporting them beyond that.

Of the 24 events contested at the district swimming championship this afternoon held at Carroll, the Lady Dragons won every event save one. Not wanting to be outdone, the boys won all of their events. Both the boys and the girls easily won the District championships by huge margins.

Carroll '06 vs. Carroll '11 in a "plus one": Who wins and by how much?

Carroll '06 vs. Carroll '11 in a "plus one": Who wins and by how much?

I love the 2011 team but I have to take the '06 team by 10. Riley's offense was wide open, had Tre' at RB, Cantu and others at WR and that defense was freaky with Padron. I think they would have given this years OL some fits and that group of DB's was excellent. '11's defense was salty but Riley and Co just had too many weapons and of course TD calling the plays.
'11 has been my favorite team though since everything they did was unexpected and they over achieved and got better each week. This team went 16-0 and only has 4 seniors being recruited. In terms of other potential recruits among returners obviously Kenny will get a DI scholarship, Drew Hill the kicker and possibly AJ Ezzard.
The '06 team had more talent and that 4-3 with Kenny running quite a bit would have stopped him more successfully than other teams we played.

The Texas Sports Writers Association has released its Class 5A All-State team and the Dragons are well represented. One of the top accolades went to Dragon senior linebacker Will Davis who was named 5A Defensive Player of the Year. Davis, who plans to sign with Kansas State on Wednesday, was a standout on a Dragon defense that shined in Carroll’s 5A Division I State Championship run. Davis, (6-foot-1, 210 puonds) finished with 160 tackles, four sacks and 16 tackles this season.

First-Team All-State selections included junior quarterback Kenny Hill, senior wide receiver Sabian Holmes and senior offensive tackle J.J. Prince. Senior receiver Peyton Williams was selected honorable mention. Holmes was also chosen honorable mention defensive back.

Guys... aTm was one of the first schools to talk to him, but Sherm wanted him as a CB. He was being recruited by Sumlin @ UH as a WR, so when Sumlin asked him to consider aTm as a WR he jumped @ the offer...

It's really a no brainer.

exactly what I thought.

[speedoption]

Unless Im reading it wrong, looks like we are second biggest school behind keller, and will be locked in to Division 1.

Agreed and we need to spend a lot of money because attendance on the visitors side will be abysmal.

Then putting Allen and the Planos in region 2, feel bad for them at playoff time, lots of travel, little to no Jerry World until possibly later. UIL blew it.

Cove, Temple etc in Region 1, makes zero sense.

[SC606]

Any news on non-district opponents for next year?

Any news on non-district opponents for next year?

Allen is a given. I would like to see Coppell back on the schedule as well. I know in the past people said Coppell refused to play us in pre-district but I don't expect that to be a problem with the current staff. I would think our third game would another school from District 5 or District 10 since they need games. If I had to guess, I would say one of the Plano schools since they are in Region 2 and we won't have to worry as much about seeing them in the future. I bet Skyline would like another shot at us.

I have heard Midland is a given, so we only need one more, folks from Centex said Carroll vs Temple is a done deal but I have heard nothing from anyone on our side.
Coppell or Flower Mound in non district would be awesome, Colleyville maybe but Fuller wouldn't do it at Coppell doubtful he would at CHHS.

Steve has it correct. Carroll will open with Allen at their new place;
Midland at Dragon Stadium; Temple away (I think.)

This will give Carroll six (6) home games next season.

The UIL, for its many faults, does not like to create districts with an odd number of teams, if at all possible. Doing so results in one of the district teams having an out-of-district game (or possibly an open week) every week in the second half of the season.

6 home games? Does that mean 5 district home games and only 2 away? (to go with 1 non-district home game).

The best part about this years' realignment....

you can leave the house around 700PM and make kickoff for all district games....

The worst part..... KISD stadium & Thursday games over there... bummer.

[DrEdward]

6 home games? Does that mean 5 district home games and only 2 away? (to go with 1 non-district home game).

Oops. My guess is:

Midland at home
Two of the Keller schools at home
Northwest at home
Either Richland or Hebron at home

Allen away
Temple away (if at Cowboy Stadium, I am willing to consider that a home game.)
Two Keller schools away
Either Richland or Haltom away.

I'm probably in the minority, but I'm fine with this district. There was more than enough competition from the Keller schools last year to get us ready and the travel sure beats any alternative where you're sitting in traffic backed up by the construction.

[SLC_wolverine]

I am assuming he wants to play in a relevant football conference so I cannot see him going to the big 10. :D

Yeah, lately it'd be a tough sell arguing that point!

I know it's early, but I snuck a peak. Midland and Temple each went 6-5 last year. Midland tied for last in their 6 team district, with a 1-4 record, but made the playoffs as the bottom 3 teams all went 1-4. First Round Exit courtesy of Arlington Martin, 37-7.

Temple had a better district showing, at 5-2. The only common opponent was Cove, and Cove won 49-42, at Temple. First Round Exit courtesy of Longview, 24-3.

Not sure yet about what each team has coming back. Looking forward to seeing Temple...I graduated from RR Westwood, and they were in our district...they were tough tough tough...

Temple got a new coach last year, I think from Abilene Cooper. They are an improving group and might bite somebody in the gluteous maximus if we don't watch out.

For any fans planning on heading to the girls' soccer game this evening at Dragon Stadium, the game time for the varsity has been moved up to 6:30pm. The JV game will begin at 5:00pm; the freshman game has been cancelled.

That's a nice ring but where's the GREEN?

I like that it's not so gaudy with many big diamonds. It's a great looking ring.

In the first half, of the girls soccer game this evening, the Lady Dragons took a 1-0 lead over Keller. With just under 33 minutes remaining in the second half, there was a thirty minute lightning delay before the game resumed. After the delay, Carroll scored two additional goals for a final of 3-0 over the Lady Indians. Several play stoppages during the last minutes of the game, as thing were getting a bit vocal from the stands against the official.

I also understand that the Carroll boys and girls both won their basketball games tonight against Saginaw by 15 points or so each. I don't have the actual scores.

I was just messing around I am one of those that believe the SEC is head and shoulders above everyone else.
Temple has always had talent but could not convert that to wins. They have a good coach and are improving so they should not be taken lightly but in terms of a legitimate threat for a deep playoff run type team they are not there yet. Early in the season strange things can happen.
Think back to our season last year, after the first five or 6 games were you predicting us to win state?

I always predict us to win state! :D Honestly though, at 6-0 we had yet to face Sloppell, Central, or Guyer. I wasn't thinking state at that point at all, although the win at NW in game 6 was a stronger showing than in the prior two weeks. I was only thinking about winning each contest each Friday night and had fingers crossed we could eventually (possibly) get to 10-0 and win the outright District Title. I did NOT want to share it with Guyer! And then after viewing the D1 bracket...I knew it would be really tough...I thought State for the first time when I saw the comeback over Bowie. After the first 23 minutes...and then to man up and come back and win that thing...I told Mrs.SLCwolverine that these guys will NOT be denied...and then with only a few heartbeats left vs Skyline...un-freaking-believable...I know, I'm typing too much, I could go on for quite a while, actually. :heli: One more note...last summer, I told Mrs.SLCwolverine that Carroll had played 584 games in its history...and wouldn't it be nice to play 16 this year and have number 600 be the title game? She gave me the 'Yes, Dear' without looking up. So maybe I was thinking State in July?

The Carroll game against Temple is being played at Cowboys Stadium as part of a series of both high school and college games over the 14th and the 15th of this coming September. I don't know about the start time yet, but have no reason to doubt the 8:00pm time.

Just as Pennington used to be our home away from home, followed by Texas Stadium, given our record, I consider Cowboys Stadium to have now assumed that role. So it counts as a home game for me.

and it was tweeted by the CABC that "Carroll will play Temple in the Lone Star Football Festival in 2012. Will be a great football weekend."

Not sure if we call it a home game or not....there won't be any money made at our stadium that's for sure so I'm not sure if it matters if it is Home or not (except it is a lot closer to us than to Temple). :)

The Dragons certainly have a far better record there and at Texas Stadium than the permanent pretenders/occupants.

Congratulations to Carroll's Wrestling team for defending their District 10-5A tournament championship, winning their second District Title in 2 years last week at Colleyville! They have now won the 2012 District Dual Team Championship (8-0) and the 2012 UIL Individual District Tournament this season.

I believe this means that the Dragons and Lady Dragons have thus far won all of their District Championships completed in the 2011-2012 academic year. It won't be a complete sweep this year, but it still pretty impressive.

Hey Doc, just got in after watching the first four innings of the scrimmage. Y'all look very good. DPants had told me that Kenny Hill wasn't playing, but that is not the case. He's a good looking third baseman and looked very comfortable at the plate. Dragon pitching was excellent. We have a good looking team but struggled at the plate. I would have stayed, but am flying out for a few days. Decided to leave tonight for some reason. Anyway, it was good to see my boy on the bump, y'all got him for two runs in the fourth. Otherwise, he looked fine for February. These two teams looked very good this early and we will most likely see each other again. Again, really impressed with your first three pitchers.

Carroll 9th grade/JV2 ended in a tie with Coppell in the opening game this evening at Dragon Stadium. The JV2 Lady Dragons fell behind by a score of 3-1 and were stuck there until with about three minutes left in the game. Then an offensive monsoon struck. Inside of about two minutes, the Lady Dragons scored three goals to take a 4-3 lead. Unfortunately, the cowgirls managed a comeback with about one minute left to end up in a 4-4 tie.

The next two games were against Northwest tonight. In the JV match, it was never even an issue as the Lady Dragons went on an 8 - 0 run.

In the varsity game, the Lady Dragons also kicked a shut out of the Lady Texans by a margin of 4 - 0.

The Dragons boys soccer squad played the Texans at their place, coming home with a 3 - 0 victory.

In basketball, the Lady Dragons defeated guyer tonight at Carroll, 57-42; the Dragons also defeated the wildcats by a score of 55 - 46.

He started at third and I don't think he would have been there if he wasn't going to be around the whole season. Interesting side note, in the stands there were dads named Hill, McLemore, and Palmeiro. Witt, Russell, and Rogers hang around a little too, but weren't there Tuesday, or that would have been pretty awesome.

My claim to fame? Years ago when I lived in Colleyville, Palmeiro's kid (one of them), was the pitcher. I got hit by the pitch. End of story.

that would have been Patrick, his oldest. Still playing and trying to catch on this spring with a big league organization.

I still can't get over how good SLC's pitching looked this early. If you can get to a scrimmage, you will see what I mean as they only go two innings each. Lots of depth and really good spotting of the ball.

[dragonsdaddy]

so times have changed. cd played all the way thru the baseball po, if memory serves. i used to think td didn't mind seeing his proven performers not get hurt in spring football. more time for the reserves, who were on the steeper part of the learning curve anyway.

[DrEdward]

I surrender. I don't know of any players who enjoy spring football. At least that was true at the collegiate level a long time ago. All your other friends are heading to the river in the afternoons, or up into the mountains, and you're stuck sweating and running your butt off on the practice fields. Not fun. In high school in the '60s, none of us even thought about spring football; it wasn't allowed. We were all busy with track and field or baseball. On the other hand, college and high school coaches seem to think spring football is invaluable.

So perhaps if Carroll is on a real roll on the diamond, KH will play baseball throughout the spring for the Dragons. I don't know; neither Larry Hughes nor Hal Wasson checked in with me; short-sighted of them I realize. :rolleyes: But having your starting QB not out for spring football would seem substantially to degrade the purpose of having that practice time to begin with. Especially the case when a new batch of receivers will be called on in the fall. Perhaps, KH can do some of both.

Dragon state champion diver Bryce Klein left for Germany on Tuesday to compete in the USA Grand Prix International Meet. Klein is the youngest of the 13 divers qualified for this event. Klein, a junior, is also a member of the Olympic training team for the 2016 Olympics and this competition serves as his first meet in preparation for his upcoming team.

Best of luck to Bryce. Unfortunately, it means that Carroll will not have his potential points available in either the Regional meet this Saturday or at the State meet in Austin later this month.

Dragon swimmers, both boys and girls easily swam away from all other teams competing in the Region 2, swim meet today at the Colony, exceeding the nearest competitor by a few hundred points each. Of the 24 events contested today by both the boys and girls combined, Carroll qualified swimmers in at least 18 events. On the basis of time, for those events for which they did not receive an automatic bid to State in Austin, I think the times achieved will advance the Dragons in at lest two other events. Not too shabby today. However, I am now convinced that there is no sport like swimming when it comes to dragging out a competition - something over four hours today. Makes high jumpers and pole vaulters seem like they just rocket along in their competitions. But I suppose, the efforts put forth by all the kids in the pool makes it worth supporting the. Now it will be off to Austin in two weeks!!

It can be pretty hard to beat a quality basketball team three times in a single season; twice is sufficiently difficult. Yet that was the challenge facing the Lady Dragons tonight in the Area Round playoff game against 12th ranked Timberview. Playing at what will be one of our new 4A district rivals beginning next year, Richland High School, the Lady Dragons looked as if the conventional wisdom might be applicable this evening. The girls trailed Timberview by as many as 15 in the first half, closing out the second period down by 11. Another slow start. :( Yet these ladies did not fold. Thet came back strong in the second half to manage a tie game when the 4th quarter buzzer sounded sending the game into OT. In the OT period, the Carroll girls managed to open up a 4 point margin and hold on for the win tonight. :heli: Now it's on to Round 3.

[DrEdward]

At Dragon Stadium, the JV and the varsity Dragons both scored wins over Saginaw Rough Riders in soccer this evening. The varsity score closed the game with a 2 - 0 win.

Congratulations to the Ladies on a fine season. 30+ Wins in a basketball season is quite the accomplishment...along with a number 1 ranking during the run...and 3 rounds deep...my hat's off to you!

I was thinking about taking this afternoon off to go watch the Dragons play against Bell at Rangers Ballpark. The schedule indicates this as a scrimmage game...and I know we usually open the season in the tourney in Austin, which it indicates again this year...but I'm hoping that's a typo and this is actually the first game? Or is it truly a scrimmage at the Ballpark? Does anyone know for sure? Thanks-

The location certainly suggests "scrimmage." But the schedule on the Carroll website says the game was set for two days ago. Of course, it could well have been rescheduled for this afternoon after the rains on the weekend.

[DrEdward]

If there are any soccer fans in the area, Carroll will be hosting the TAPPS Boys Division I State Championship game this evening at Dragon Stadium. The game is set for a 7:00pm start between Nolan Catholic High School of Fort Worth and John Paul II High School from Plano.

[DrEdward]

Carroll girls softball scored a 9-1 victory in the game this morning at Bob Jones Park vs Mansfield Timberview. They girls will play again this afternoon at 4:00 against Alamo Heights.

I have a question for you Sushi Sam's lovers. Have any of y'all been there recently and tried the Yu Darvish Roll? A few of my Tech friends are interested in how it tastes. If it's good I plan on bringing them there if we make it to Southlake over spring break.

I was thinking of swimming, but I hope our two wrestlers manage to win titles at State as well.

I understand the swimmers did quite well in the qualifying today, yet once again this year, Carroll had one of its female swimmers disqualified by the UIL in today's preliminaries. Unfortunately, she had the fastest time in the state in her event this season.

The second game was indeed against the Broncos from Mustang, Oklahoma. The Dragons prevailed by a score of 3-1.

Allen won the first game by the same score with two unearned runs providing them with the inning margin. :(

Hopefully the wifey is doing much better. I do look forward to hearing the update on Sushi Sam's. I'll have to try this Lava on 114. I've seen it tons of times, just assumed it was a coffee shop or some weird foreign food or something.

No sushi was served at the tournament sites.

I'll try to make this one, anyone else up for it?

[Drag Goon]

I'll try to make this one, anyone else up for it?

I will be there as my daughter is on the team. Bring lots of warm clothes as it looks like it will be chilly.

Right now the girls are 1 point behind Fossil Ridge for 1st place. Ridge has already played SLC twice (split) and Coppel (beat them twice) so we really need to win to have a chance to finish first in the district. Even then, we will need Ridge to lose or tie a game for us to overtake them (if we win out). Winning district is huge since the first round playoffs are against 8-5A opponents. 1vs4, 2vs3, etc. Both districts are really strong with the top three teams. There is a little drop with the 4th place team so it really it important to try and get the #1 seed.

Heres hoping for decent weather and a safe game for both sides. The JV1 and Jv2 games should also be very competitive.

I know this is sports related, but the Belles and Debate got mentions ;)

The Southlake Carroll Cadets winter guard (made up of 6-8th grade girls across multiple schools) have been competing in local contests scoring very well - their competition season ended with a 1st place finish at the NTCA Championship in McKinney this past Saturday.

The Varsity Color Guard has won first place at a couple of the local NTCA winter guard contests in their division. They go for their divisional Championship on March 30th.

For people who want to know, my son Ryan Williams will be playing at Texas State and will be the starting deep snapper. He will be scholarshiped after he plays one season. My son Randy Williams will play his last season at Cisco and will be playing safety and RB. He is currently on a full ride scholarship. For those who don't know them, Ryan played for Carroll 2007-2009 and Randy 2007-2010. Not trying to toot my horn just felt this would be a good way of communicating.

The Carroll girls won their softball games yesterday at Arlington Martin by a score of 10-1; they followed up that with a victory today over Kennedale actually played at the school on their own field by a score of 7- 2. I believe that is the first game the varsity has managed to play on their own field this season. The games are typically played at Bob Jones Park since the attempt to put lights on the fields at Carroll, graciously donated to the school, was met with opposition several years back.
