Fix your dang spelling before you get run off the board! KLEIN

Everybody from Lufkin has learned that the hard way over the years. By the way did anybody catch how the homer announcers from Tyler kept calling them Klein Collins during the game?

ought oh. Wasnt Silent P also fourth place outta their district when they won reg 2 in 2007 and knocked us out? I hope they use that a motivation rather then a comfort. I tell you what, I had no idea who P-ville was before that game either. Thanks Reg 2 for improving my Texas geography.

[pack98]

I will go with Klein on this they are playing good football and I think they can stop the Running game of Abilene I really think they can and they are not scared to play anyone they took apart a good JT team with tons of talent.

[warbirds141]

this can be a trap game for AHS

Really:confused: like who has stopped the Eagle running game???

[PackAttack2005]

Klein is just south of Conroe/ The Woodlands on I-45 north of Houston.

[SleeperG]

Klein is hot and on a roll!! No one knows who they are and they like it that way!! SO WHY NOT MAKE IT TO STATE!?!

And as for Klein ISD and District 13-5A, just one comment, Klein was the 4th seed coming out of our district.

GO BEARKATS!!

[SleeperG]

Really:confused: like who has stopped the Eagle running game???
JT was saying the same thing:D

[Fan4Life]

Trap game for Abilene. Abilene should be the victor of this game. However, I think the scariest teams to play are the 3rd and 4th place district teams that know one knows about.

[Shoot2thrill]

JT was saying the same thing:D

:notworthyHerschel Sims:notworthy

[Jayhawker]

Where is Klein ????

in Spring...about 35 miles north of Houston, just south of The Woodlands and just East of Cy-Fair!

[tmcran]

Klein is just south of Conroe/ The Woodlands on I-45 north of Houston.

Oh got it .. they have all the High Schools with Klein something or other.

[tmcran]

ask Cujo; they were wondering the same thing last week and they just got the arse handed to them!!

jeee touchy...loosen up.:D

[warbird00]

I'm mad that the team I was supporting isnt here and was either knocked out by KlEin or they knocked out the ones that beat us. So now im going to go for them no matter what because it makes us look better and me feel better.

fify

haha im just kidding. But seriously those guys did a great job against JT today and their good rushing attack. Props. But IMO ours is much stronger and will take quite a bit more effort. I really just dont see it. It it were me in charge of Klein, I focus on trying to score early and often and turning this game into a shoot out or building a big lead. I still think if you focus on containing our offense, you are playing into our hands rather then forcing us outta our game, cause our best players are on that side of the ball...and they are GOING to score. But on the other hand, I dont really know how you try to break our defense as much as our D has stepped up... I'd say the biggest beat would try to do something through the air. Thats all the hints I'm giving out this week. Teams dont make it this far by accident, and I'm looking forward to a great game. We've been playing in sudden death mode for about a month now, and I'm sure both teams will be ready to go next Saturday.

[AHSeagles]

I've been out all day and I just saw that Klein beat John Tyler. Gotta say it took me by surprise a little bit. So what's the low down on Klein? It seems they like to run the ball and have a very stingy D, but what's their base sets? Spread, traditional set, option run, etc. On offense? 3-4, 4-3, or something else on defense?

[v2the4]

Klein is just south of Conroe/ The Woodlands on I-45 north of Houston.

Klein is an unicoporated area, just northwest of Houston, in Harris county. Some areas of Klein are under three zip codes, a Houston zip code, a Klein zip code and a Spring area zip code.

pretty much everything on fm 1960 west of 1-45, all the way to tomball parkway(fm 249) would be considered to be in the Klein area.

a couple of years ago, there was a big dispute among homeowners in the Klein area who wanted to be zoned the higher ranked Spring ISD....

[tmcran]

Congrats to Klein.. I was thinking JT would do better.

[eaglefan87]

Congrats to Klein on the upset win over JT.

[eaglefan87]

Abilene coaches and players will not get caught looking past Klein. They have worked too hard to get to this point to fall into a trap game.

Don't know anything about Klein except for what has been posted in this thread. Gonna do some digging. Will post what I find.

My initial thought is that there is no way a 4th place team is gonna beat this Abilene team.

[TigerHat]

If I were Abilene I wouldn't worry about Klein - 4th place team - nothing to see here - move along. Besides they're from lowly Skeeterville not the metroplex or east Texas; you can safely forget about them. Pretty much show up, read them your press clippings, and they'll fold up like a cheap chair. Just think about how nice the Riverwalk is in December. Your eyelids are getting very heavy. Remember, the Houston area is Katy and a bunch of dwarfs; Klein is one of the dwarfs. You are getting sleepy, very sleepy. :D

I know who they are. They are the team in the semi-finals and Abilene's next opponent. Abilene needs to be ready to play like each week to now.

i know the team will be focused cuz they remember the p-ville game :(

[eaglefan87]

OK here is what I found out from this site and the Houston Chronicle site:

Klein finished the reg season with a 7-3 record. They finished in a 3 way tie at 4-3 in District 13-5A which was won by Klein Collins. Their 3 district losses were to Klein Collins 11-28, Spring Westfield 35-36 and Klein Forest 17-31.

Their 7 reg season wins were over teams with an overall record of 27-43. Their 3 losses were to teams with an overall record of 26-9.

They have gotten hot in the POs and have beaten teams with a combined record of 35-15.

Klein has 4575 total yards for the season with 3382 coming on the ground and 1193 by pass. They are led by #11 Sr. RB Dakota Barnes who has 265 rushes for 1676 yards for an avg of 6.3 per carry and 15 TDs. They also have #6 Sr RB Patrick Johnson with 116 carries for 881 for 7.6 per rush and 10 TDs. At QB they have # 23 Sr Micheal West who is 52-104 for 913 yds 6 TDs and 5 INTs. Their leading receiver is RB Barnes who has 13 rec for 346 yards and 2 TDs followed by #88 Sr TE Kevin Kisseberth who has 14 catches for 281 yds and 2 TDs.


The Bearcats are playing their best ball at the right time of the year and knocked off 12-1 John Tyler pretty handily 31-7 so they are a dangerous team.

Nope. That is what everyone has said about anyone coming out of 13-5A. Nevermind the Bearkats. They're just coming for you!!

[KleinFan]

man. i like it how everybody underestimates the Bearkats. and the Bearkats always beats the odds :). i dont care what everybody has to say even if their 4th in district they've gone the farthest out of the others in their district, and beaten 2 top ranked teams. say what you want Klein is in it to win it! :D

[AHSeagles]

Can any of the Klein fans tell me what kind of offense and defense y'all run? We all know that everyone under estimates you, all of your fans have said so already. :rolleyes: How about a little discussion about football?

[Eagle81]

Well, I wasn't sure how Abilene could've possibly beat previously unbeaten CHill. I mean nobody could possibly stop that offense. After that, it was brought to my attention that, apparently CHill was overrated and that Bowie would remind Abilene where their place in this state really was. So now, I understand Bowie may not have been as advertised either. So now that brings us to Klein. These guys beat TJT, so they have to be the real deal. Not sure, did Tyler Lee beat TJT? Just asking because that was Abilene High's closet contest this year, and if TJT beat those guys then Abilene High has to be in trouble. Wait, now I'm being told that Tyler Lee beat TJT by 9. The way I see it is none of that really matters. Apparently, we have two teams playing next week that had no respect before now. Abilene High plays in a district that is considered to be one of the weakest in the state. i don't count El Paso, just because I never have. We have to give New Mexico, something to brag about. And Klein, was fourth in their district so what kind of challenge could they bring? By the way crow is expensive so these two programs should be bringing in some cash for their schools. Fact of the matter is, Abiene Highs weak district has served them well in preparation of this run and should feel as much a part of this run as AHS themselves. Abilene High has seen school after school not quit. 3-5A never quits. Richland, Burleson, and Weatherford may not have a ton of history but as long as they compete as they have while our team has been there, that should change pretty soon. I wish Klein the best of luck and hope the game is injury free. But, I have to go with the Eagles 41-10. Nobody else has respected Klein so I figure I'll hop on that bandwangon myself.

PS: Kudos to Lamar, El Paso Coronado (New Mexico State Champs), CHill, and Arlington Bowie. Great season and we'll see you next year.

[Football4life]

Klein plays good D with a strong dose of Barnes/Muddiman. Klein should put up about 30 points, so the Key to this game is whether or not Klein's D can keep Abilene under 30ish

Abilene=Stud Backfield right?

Yes sir...the best in the state.

Some others for ya

Abilene=46 ppg
Abilene=11 papg
Abilene=SPEED BABY!!!

you seriously think that the Klein offense which is avg 26ppg in the POs is gonna put 30 pts on the Abilene D which is allowing 10 papg in the POs? I doubt it.

From the stats i've seen Klein is heavy on the run and they are not gonna run on this defense. Klein's stud RB might break off a long run but they are not gonna move the ball consistently down the field on the Abilene D.

Klein's defense has held PO opponents to 10 papg, I'd say that Klein better hope that their D can do the same this week because they do not want to get into a shootout with this explosive offense.

Should be a pretty good match up then, I think Klein fairs well agains team that try and get the edge often, about how many times will Abilene throw a game?

[eaglefan87]

Should be a pretty good match up then, I think Klein fairs well agains team that try and get the edge often, about how many times will Abilene throw a game?

The thing about the Abilene running game is that they aren't just about trying to get to the edge. They can do that but they will run right at you or off tackle and if you miss a tackle its off to the races. Another thing that makes them so dangerous is that they will put multiple guys in the backfield at the same time who can take it the distance. They pose a real problem.

As for passing game. AHS doesn't throw the ball alot but can be very effective. People commit so much to stopping the run that the pass will catch 'em off gaurd. We took a couple of injury hits and lost 2 of our biggest receiving threats but others have stepped up and filled in nicely.

So how about Klein. Sounds like they have a stud RB and a D that is playing really good ball right now. Really impressed that they held TJT to 7 points.

Don't forget the toll that running game takes on the defensive line. Pounding play after play. Heck, I get tired just writing about it.

No way Klein puts 30 on Abilene high team who has allowed 24 points in the last two weeks to CHILL and Bowie...

[abileneeagles311]

38-13 abilene

[Warbird]

The fact that Klein has a few losses scares me, much more so than undefeated Cedar Hill or a two loss Arlington Bowie squad. And no, that's not facetious. This has all the makings of a "trap" game, (in the semis at that) but I think the boys are keeping focused. Less than a few hours after beating Bowie, one of their FB statuses said something to the effect of, "one game at a time." Klein's caught fire but our boys are rolling and have knocked off massively talented teams in the last two rounds. More importantly, save for the loss of McKay and Joseph, the boys are more or less healthy. Here's hoping that holds for the next few weeks.

[smw358]

Did anyone from Lufkin, South Garland or John Tyler tell you the destination of that bandwagon?..........Losers lounge. Yep.......read all those prior threads, the phsycic predictions and all. They bought a ticket to the same wagon that your on. Sitting around big screen tv......sipping the cheapest beer at the loser's lounge......you'll be in great company though! :Music

[smw358]

They usually don't score on the opposing teams.....they just run right off the bus and start scoring before y'all show up......right John Tyler? :D

[warbird00]

Klein should put up about 30 points, so the Key to this game is whether or not Klein's D can keep Abilene under 30ish


There is just no support for that. Klein appears on paper to be a run focused team, and I dont see anything to support that they are just going to come out and put up 30+ on this Abilene D and I certainly dont see them doing it on the ground. If I remember right, these bearcat guys scored at least one touch down in junk time to bring it to 31; I assure you we are as good as or better on D and special teams. Your assumption means you have to believe this Klien offense is better then (or matches up better then) Cedar Hill by twice as much and four times better then Bowie. So is it possible... yes... but likely... No way.

Could happen though, and if so, I think that would be by way of stong passing on offense, and it would still be a SUPRISE, not a sure thing. The REAL key to the game is: Abilene should put up points, so the key is whether or not Klein's O can score more. What you see as a given (Klein scoring 30) is really anything but a given. It is however, the one way I see them being able to win this game. It is certainly a trap game, and if we are not focused could easily end up being routed. But more then I see us losing 17-10, or 13-12 (One more freaking second...Man im so pissed off at my Huskers), I think it is going to take 27-35 points to beat the eagles... something like 35-32 or 37-33. Still my money is on a focused team, and my best guess, something like 24-10 Abilene. I wouldnt be suprised by an extra score here or one less there, a 21-17 or a 31-14, but any way I slice this one, Abilene wins.

[warbird00]

Better hope that happens again...us not showing up is the only way your boys put up 30 points.. and you STILL may lose.

Congrats to Klein and Abiline for making the Final 4!

I hope everyone from the Klein Community and Abiline made it home safe.

One thing I know for certain is that both teams have made it this far because they are good.

No one outside of the Klein area gave Klein a chance agaisnt TJT. Same thing agaisnt Lufkin...the good news is our guys don't listen to that, they play good solid Football.

Re-cap of Klein's win over JT

Nice article about the Klein Defensive Front

I wish Klein would get one.......

Now, now :D

[PackAttack2005]

Abilene needs to worry about Kevin Kisseberth (6-3, 220, Sr.). The guy plays DE and TE is a man among boys. He will be a factor.

Dekota Barnes is another, he is every bit as dangerous as Simms for Abilene. He is a hard running back with speed that never quits on a play.

The Abilene folks may not know much about or where Klein is located, but the BearKats have a hot team that you can't overlook right now. JT and Lufkin didn't respect them properly and got sent home.

[Dawg Fan]

Dawg says: Abilene by 21. Eagles getting stronger each week and are focused. This one could be over by the half.

Take it to the bank!:cool:


GOOOOOO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!

[Warbird_Dad]

The fact that Klein has a few losses scares me, much more so than undefeated Cedar Hill or a two loss Arlington Bowie squad. And no, that's not facetious. This has all the makings of a "trap" game, (in the semis at that) but I think the boys are keeping focused. Less than a few hours after beating Bowie, one of their FB statuses said something to the effect of, "one game at a time." Klein's caught fire but our boys are rolling and have knocked off massively talented teams in the last two rounds. More importantly, save for the loss of McKay and Joseph, the boys are more or less healthy. Here's hoping that holds for the next few weeks.

Any word on Brent Schroeder? He went down a couple of times Friday so wasn't sure what's bothering him.

Yep, sounds as if Klein is a good team. We know about being over looked. Lamar, EPC( was supposed to be the best 5-A team out of EP in 10 years (11-0),
Chill #1 at the time--many D-1 players. (12-0) Arlington Bowie that hung 41 on SLC. I am almost sure the Eagles will show up...

Oh contrare. Dawg's predictions have been spot on.

[thestud]

Klein plays good D with a strong dose of Barnes/Muddiman. Klein should put up about 30 points, so the Key to this game is whether or not Klein's D can keep Abilene under 30ish

Abilene=Stud Backfield right?

Which brings me to my next point children, DON'T SMOKE CRACK.

There have been three teams ALL season score more than 14 points in a game on this Eagle D, and only two of those three scored more than 17 points, and you're going to honetly come on here and say that you guys will put up 30 on the same Defense that held Chill to 17??:confused:
Don't think I'm disounting you're team because nobody makes it this far on a fluke, but to proclaim you will score 30 is beyond absurd.
I expect the Klein boys to come out and put up a fight, but as has been the case all year, the speed and explosiveness of this Eagle Offense and their ability to impose their will upon the opponent will wear down the Bearcat D and this game should be in the bag by the end of the 3rd. There are simply too many weapons on the field for the Eagles, every time a team has keyed on Herschel, Ronnell steps in and breaks one off or we counter with Tony. And has he proven all year, you cant contain Herschel for 4 quarters.
A cornered dog is a very scary and unpredictable animal, but the Eagles will prevail. 38-14 Eagles.

I'm sure Dakota barnes is a solid back, but every bit as dangerous as Herschel Sims? I doubt it. Jaterrian Douglas, the kid from El Paso, Mason Hayes, Ben Malena, the Hansborough kid from Bowie, none ofthose guys were as good as Herschel.

[cyfallsbooster2]

So far, this sounds like the JTJ/Klein thread. I think I like that.:cool:

Congrats to Klein and Abileen for making it to round 4!

Go, Bearkats!

[thestud]

I'm out of the loop on Darius? I thought he was supposed to be back for the El paso game? whats going on with him? you can PM me im not sure what the posting guidelines are on injured players that have been out most of the season.

Do you know anything about Mr. Barnes? You really do not know anything about players South of Waco...I would bet big money that if you asked any team that Klein has played this year they would all say Mr. Barnes is one of the top Backs in the State of Texas. Right up there with Mr. Sims.

eerily similar..... So this game starts at 2? It'll probably be over around 3:15 tops. Klein is big and physical. They just kinda pounded us into submission and get this, even after a 31-7 loss they never "looked" impressive. Be careful Abilene!!! Oh yea....RodJohns yells really loud lol.

Dakote Barnes - 265 carries fro 1676 yards and 15 td's

Herschel Sims - 229 carries for 2125 and 32 td's


The stats dont lie hoss.:notworthy


also would like to note that Ronnell has rushed for 29 yards less than the Klein Qb has thrown for all season. Ronnell has 1600 yards passing and 881 yards rushing.

Let's see, Douglas and Malena were all state last year and both are going on to play D1 football. Hayes is a D1 back and had over 1700 yards ruhing this year, the kid from El Paso rushed for over 2000 yards this year, and the kid from Bowie was only a sophomore but tore up Southlake. We've seen top backs and Herschel has proved to be better than all of them.

[warbird00]

i'll go ahead and truth be told another one

You guys beat and embarassed us and we thought our team was the second coming, so that back, Mr. Barnes, has got to be the greatest in the state, high school, college, or pro. It makes me feel better to think that anyway

haha. sorry just cant resist. lots of talk, no support...any one say why Klein wins except for "they were saying this last week" "this thread is just like TJT" and so on??? lol there are some real areas of advantage for your team...one that I am thinking of in particular that worries me, but I'll leave it yall to discover.

[AbEagleFan]

While records and stats up to this point can provide great talking points, at this level of play, shear heart and determination (as a team) will play a major role in the final outcome. If even one of the eleven players on the field has a let down, that let down could be the deciding factor of the game.

Both teams have really good playmakers who can get the job done. As fans, we will see just which team wants it the most.

[warbird00]

But sometimes......they don't tell the complete story. Don't forget about PJ......Barnes shares the backfield with another really good back. We have other good backs as well as a strong running QB. As far as stats go, your road to the playoffs was much more difficult then ours, however our road to round 4 was more difficult then yours, so stats should be as fair as comparing two teams in different regions can be. Oh yeah, except we've played on less game then you guys.

At this point of the season all the little things will be the deciding factor....silly penalties ( illegal procedure, holding, personal fouls, etc...) will be the factor that decides who goes to the next game. Talent is very important, discipline and coaching will be a big factor. Both teams have defenses that cause turnovers. It's the little things that will decide this game.

[Football4life]

There is just no support for that. Klein appears on paper to be a run focused team, and I dont see anything to support that they are just going to come out and put up 30+ on this Abilene D and I certainly dont see them doing it on the ground. If I remember right, these bearcat guys scored at least one touch down in junk time to bring it to 31; I assure you we are as good as or better on D and special teams. Your assumption means you have to believe this Klien offense is better then (or matches up better then) Cedar Hill by twice as much and four times better then Bowie. So is it possible... yes... but likely... No way.

Could happen though, and if so, I think that would be by way of stong passing on offense, and it would still be a SUPRISE, not a sure thing. The REAL key to the game is: Abilene should put up points, so the key is whether or not Klein's O can score more. What you see as a given (Klein scoring 30) is really anything but a given. It is however, the one way I see them being able to win this game. It is certainly a trap game, and if we are not focused could easily end up being routed. But more then I see us losing 17-10, or 13-12 (One more freaking second...Man im so pissed off at my Huskers), I think it is going to take 27-35 points to beat the eagles... something like 35-32 or 37-33. Still my money is on a focused team, and my best guess, something like 24-10 Abilene. I wouldnt be suprised by an extra score here or one less there, a 21-17 or a 31-14, but any way I slice this one, Abilene wins.

I guess I wasn't thinking clearly I ment if Klein can put up 30 I think They have a great shot at winning the game.

How many wing t teams have you played this year? :D

[cougardude]

The one thing that I like about Klein's run so far is that they have probably NOT been favored in any of their games, but have gone 4-0! And they beat the likes of Lufkin and Tyler John Tyler, perennial powers in Texas. I know the Eagles won't be taking them lightly, but the Bearkats are having a Cinderella season and they aren't ready for the clock to strike midnight yet!

Very true.. Should be a great game between two teams who deserve to be here. Good athletes on both sides of the ball for both teams. Hope there is a large crowd on hand to cheer for these young men.

[ExCOOG88]

AHS keeps playing like they have been it will be difficult for anyone to beat them. Find it amazing that the AHS defense gets so little respect, especially after the show they have been putting on in the PO's.

AHS coaching staff will have the Eagles ready to play. There will be no overlooking Klein.

There are several teams in our district that run it or a version of it.

I would like to think that our backup running back is just as good as y'alls stud. Tony could pretty much start anywhere in the state, but he kinda has kid named Herschel Sims in front of him on the depth chart.

[Jayhawker]

If I were Abilene I wouldn't worry about Klein - 4th place team - nothing to see here - move along. Besides they're from lowly Skeeterville not the metroplex or east Texas; you can safely forget about them. Pretty much show up, read them your press clippings, and they'll fold up like a cheap chair. Just think about how nice the Riverwalk is in December. Your eyelids are getting very heavy. Remember, the Houston area is Katy and a bunch of dwarfs; Klein is one of the dwarfs. You are getting sleepy, very sleepy. :D

They were favored against South Garland, but you are right they've done it against the odds for sure.

Klein will be a different sort of challenge for Abilene. I would say Pflugerville 2007 is the closest thing Abilene's seen to a Klein type team. Klein knows how to make things difficult for opponents.

The difference for the Bearkats this year has been the consistency of their offense. In recent years, they've usually had the defense and special teams but the offense has been absent. Klein's kicker this year is just as good as the Arlington Bowie kicker. Klein has caught fire at the perfect time.

How many wing t teams have you played this year? :D

You got it. Im not sure but I believe Burleson runs that type of offense?? Anyhow we wont have seen one that is being executed with you guy's skill and ability. Interesting to see. Pville also ran a simlar offense (I think a full house, but maybe wing T as well, cant remember) and it was effective enough to win vs our solid 2007 defense that included DI player Chris Williams. That defense had, in the pvs two weeks, heald SLC and Hebron to relativly low scores. The difference is, I dont think this years offense can be held to the 14 points they needed to get that game into OT and win.

By the numbers, I dont see how you guys win...however football is much more then that. Looking forward to a great game this weekend.

Its not an idiotic statement. I don't think it was meant as a dis to your RB Barnes but more as a statement to the level of talent y'all are gonna see in the backfield of Abilene.

Bowie did one thing that no one else had done to us...eliminate long runs. Herschel's longest run was 36 if i am not mistaken...the previous week he popped off several to a stout CHILL team....one for 95yds :eek:

fellas...Trey Williams from Dekaney had 1700+ yards in our district and he is only a Sophmore and he got those yards in just 10 games...what makes you think we don't see that kind of talent down here in Htown?

We just held a 2000+ yard rusher (and yes he is just a QB) to 83 yards..

You ever heard of Russell Shepherd - LSU, Ossam Cook -Minn, T-Rob - Michigan, Desean Hales Texas???

Give me a break, saying that your backuup RB is as good or better than Mr. Barnes is a slap in the face...I will let him know you think so...

Ain't slingin nothin but facts. On paper this ain't much of a matchup. But we all know that whats on paper don't mean squat. We all know Klein is a very good team that is playing great ball right now. Its just hard for us Abilene fans to believe that a team that is run heavy is gonna beat our team. You are gonna have to put up at least 30 pts to beat Abilene and a team that relies on the ground game aint gonna get it done against this defense IMO.

I would agree; though the funny thing is the EXACT same stuff was coming from the TJT crew last week and we know what happened...so don't think it can't happen, just keep praying that it doesn't.

This time of year emotion plays a HUGE part in the game; if Klein gets off to a good start, you may get to throw those stats down the drain.

Like i said no one is disrespecting Barnes or how good of a back he is. Just stating that you are gonna see an elite RB, 2 very good RBs and a QB who is just as dangerous. All can take it to the house from anywhere on the field. You will see 2 RBs and the QB all on the field at the same time alot. I find it hard to believe you have faced a team that can put that many threats in the backfield at one time.
As far as your lil video....right back at ya.

We all know Klein is a very good team that is playing great ball right now. Its just hard for us Abilene fans to believe that a team that is run heavy is gonna beat our team. You are gonna have to put up at least 30 pts to beat Abilene and a team that relies on the ground game aint gonna get it done against this defense IMO.

What paper are you reading? Abilean Sun? mispelled on purpose...:D

All I am reading on here is that on paper your gonna pound Klein...your backups are better than our studs, Lets book hotels early for San Antonio.

Last week it was TJT and Abilene is going to be a great matchup...what happened to that train of thought? Jus curious...

I'm looking at the season stats for both teams.

And like I said in the post you quoted....We all know that whats on paper dont mean squat and we know Klein is a very good team playing great ball right now.

Nobody said that our backups were better than Kleins RB Barnes. The point being made was that we can put several running threats in the backfield who are on the same level with Barnes or Sims.

As far as the hotel comment....if you areplanning on getting one within walking distance you might want to book it now. Simple as that.

Crawfish is something we eat down here in the south...it is also a name givin to backpedling on comments from your fan base...

How about this...I never look ahead so if Klein wins you give up the rooms...:eek:

[eaglefan87]

It was Abilene fans and TJT fans looking ahead...

And what is your point exactly? Nothin wrong with fans talking about possible match ups

Ya'll got an impressive win over TJT.....congrats on that. I'm sure this will be a hard fought game. I expect Klein to play lights out, but I think the clock is about to strike midnight on ya cinderella.

[warbird00]

It was Abilene fans and TJT fans looking ahead...

We're not was, we are...still playing. TJT was. Anyhow you can mark me down as one who is not looking ahead and understands that Klein has been playing with fire for the past four weeks and I have a lot of respect for that. I'll repeat it for the ump-teenth time I believe all the match ups favor us, but this a perfect trap game. I expect a hard fought game and good showing by both sides. Anyhow you dont need to be worried about the fans looking ahead... as long as the team aint, we'll be okay.

I cant find Dekota Barnes on rivals or scout...

[Warbird_Dad]

I always send this lil video clip to all the other teams we faced...this is Mr Barnes with a shout out to AHS:

Ahhh, how sweet..thank you...!!

[Football4life]

He's on neither, most underrated player in the State

I personally think Abliene being a running team is an advantage for Klein, they have a stout front 7 and 2 stud safeties

[wperry4]

We are not your typical smash mouth running team that y'all are thinking of. We are a spread team and have faced bigger defensive fronts than y'all.

Oh contrare. Dawg's predictions have been spot on.

Amen on Dawg..He has nailed everyone of them..guy has a great crystall Ball.:notworthy

i personally think Klein being a running team is an advantage for Abilene... they've played a majority of running teams and of course beat 'em all

[tmcran]

eerily similar..... So this game starts at 2? It'll probably be over around 3:15 tops. Klein is big and physical. They just kinda pounded us into submission and get this, even after a 31-7 loss they never "looked" impressive. Be careful Abilene!!! Oh yea....RodJohns yells really loud lol.

You have not seen big and physical until you have seen Chill....

[AE 8008]

Dude...I am not going to call you an idiot...but that is an idiotic statement...sorry but you were asking for that.

we dont claim him...:D

[tmcran]

AHS keeps playing like they have been it will be difficult for anyone to beat them. Find it amazing that the AHS defense gets so little respect, especially after the show they have been putting on in the PO's.

AHS coaching staff will have the Eagles ready to play. There will be no overlooking Klein.

As someone on another thread said "Abilene doesn't win any games-the teams they play just lose."

[AHSeagles]

For the record though...that would be correct spelling not correct grammar...

Aw come on now. There ain't nothing wrong with some good old smack talk. We got all week long to talk Xs ond Os.

I am looking forward to seeing RB Barnes in person. Sounds like he is a great back. Y'all Klein guys will enjoy Sims and Co. as well.

[Markiemark730]

Just so you guys know... its spelled Bearkats, with a "K". And believe me, they love the fact that you don't know that, they use the fact that they aren't ever given a chance as fuel. Our run defense has to be one of the best in the state and I think your going to have more problems than you think running the ball on us. Should be a good game, GO KATS!

[AbEagleFan]

What paper are you reading? Abilean Sun? mispelled on purpose...:D

All I am reading on here is that on paper your gonna pound Klein...your backups are better than our studs, Lets book hotels early for San Antonio.

Last week it was TJT and Abilene is going to be a great matchup...what happened to that train of thought? Jus curious...

Calm down now. As for the hotel information, it was a generic post and was meant to be helpful for ANYONE who has faith that their team could get there or just those who want to go watch the games anyway. The cheap rooms are going faster and faster as the date arrives and why not secure lodging? With a 48 hour notice for cancellation, what does ANYONE have to lose? In fact, if a person’s team doesn't make the final and the person who reserved the room is generous, he/she could make an offer to have the room they reserved transferred to someone whose team did make the final who did not reserve a room ahead of time.

We do not doubt the awesomeness of your team or backs. Your passion for them all is shared by our passion for our boys. The reference to Curtis, the guy is a workhorse and I assure you, he WOULD be a starter for your team and many others out there. Based on recent offensive formations, I believe he could be considered a starter for Abilene at this point. After all, he was on the field along with Herschel for the first snap last week.

I for one am very respectful of a team such as Klein. They have nothing to lose and will give it their all. Why? No expectations. They have flown under the radar all season and nobody even expected them to come out of the first round. As each week passes with a victory, your boys become more and more confident and are having fun out there on the field.

Forget about Chill, Bowie, Lufkin, JT, etc. This is a new week and accomplishments from the past will not win this game. Want and desire will play a major role and unless you have played this deep and won it all, you won't have any idea as to what I am talking about. Day in and day out Coach Moore stressed the fact that not one player on that field could have a letdown because the mistakes of that one person could cost the game. His office was always open to those who felt emotionally tired and wanted to hang the cleats and move on. Don't think this doesn't happen with 16-17 year olds.

We are not disrespecting your boys with our comments of confidence about ours just as we know you aren't disrespecting ours with your comments of confidence.

Abilene will have to stop your run game, period. The last thing Abilene wants is to have their offense stay on the sideline. If your offense controls the line of scrimmage and clock, yes, it could be a very long night for our Abilene boys.

[tmcran]

No, no, no. Posting on here is NOT pointless. Heck look at MY post count. It is just that what I have seen over the years, each side will lay out their own stats as FACTS and the other side will do the same and then they will both ask each other for FACTS to support their side. Vicious, vicious cycle. Then the kids go out and play the game at the end of the week and no one knows what is going to happen.

I learned this several years back.....'06 as a matter of fact. The team I support was playing a highly ranked team in the regional finals. We continually laid out our stats, they laid out theirs, they said ours didn't mean anything, we said theirs didn't mean anything. On paper they were supposed to win, the poll on here overwhelmingly said they were going to win. We won.

After that, I decided why waste all the time and emotional energy on pissing contests. Now I just use the board as an enjoyable hobby.

Pointless? Posting here is not pointless. The pissing contests are pointless.

Now back to our regulary scheduled programming.:D

I have ties to both teams and wish you each a great game. I just hope the winner saves some for Katy. Really want to see them go down. I predicted CHill would be the one to do it after seeing them push ET around early. I also predicted after that game that ET wouldn't be a great team until next year. WRONG on both predictions!! I would love to be at this great match up between you two, but it looks like I'll be across town instead. Good Luck and then Destroy Katy!

Back in the old west three Texas cowboys were about to be hung for cattle rustling. The lynch mob brought the three men to a tree right at the edge of the local river. The idea was that when each man had died, theyd cut the rope and hed drop into the river and drift out of sight They put the first cowboy from Houston in the noose, but he was so sweaty and greasy he slipped out, fell in the river and swam to freedom. They tied the noose around the second cowboy from San Antonio's head. He, too, oozed out of the rope, dropped into the river and got away. As they dragged the cowboy from Abilene to the scaffold, he resisted, "Please! Would yawl tighten that noose a little bit? I cant swim!"

[ROD LEE]

I voted for Klein eventhough I'm not familiar with Klein's habits. Mainly, Klein's defense versus tight teams. I do know Abilene's defense had some problems with TyLee, they and Klein have similar offenses.

[eaglefan87]

Agree. The subsequent 95 yd TD run by Herschel Sims right thru the heart of the CHill defense was pretty special as well.

[ahighsupporter]

Much Congrats to both Abilene High and Klein, you both have very much so earned the right to play this weekend. While Most will say I prolly am biased I feel the need to throw my two cents in. There will not be many points scored(quote that). While both have done very well scoring in this years playoffs, in this game the best defense sounds like a good offense I feel both staffs will be very satisfied with long tolling drives and eating as much clock as possible. I have seen Herschal live and I've seen highlight clips of the Klein backs lotta talent all of them are very gifted. The difference imo is herschel makes one miss to finish the play for 6 the klein boys make one miss to punish the next guy in line. So my input and prediction is this you just simply can't beat Abilene High relying on one demension offensively Fullen is to good at taking away what your most comfortable doing. imo final 24-7 ahigh


mostly i pray for a good clean game and that God will ahve his hands on it. Sure wish i didnt have to just listen to it on the radio.:(

My question was mainly directed at Klein's ability to defend against teams that run with authority from a tight formation. You said Abilene's defense has seasoned. So who has Abilene faced that run with authority from a tight formation?

no one. TJT was the best team any one could have ever dreamed of facing, and so it is proven that Klein can now beat anyone.

[ahighsupporter]

one dimension offensively will not beat anyone this late in the year imo

[AHSeagles]

i pwn at risk

You only pwn at Risk if you can win by holding Asia the whole game.

[abilenefan]

They were favored against South Garland, but you are right they've done it against the odds for sure.

Klein will be a different sort of challenge for Abilene. I would say Pflugerville 2007 is the closest thing Abilene's seen to a Klein type team. Klein knows how to make things difficult for opponents.

The difference for the Bearkats this year has been the consistency of their offense. In recent years, they've usually had the defense and special teams but the offense has been absent. Klein's kicker this year is just as good as the Arlington Bowie kicker. Klein has caught fire at the perfect time.

Klein sounds like a team playing inspired football. Should be a good game. I like Abilene's chances on this one because Abilene Highs DC knows how to stop the Wing T. Pfluggerville handled us with size against an undersized D line and OLB's. Klein, although they outstanding running backs, they are not 6'2 and 240. Abilene had guys in the right place all night but could not handle those hosses.

Offensively, I don't see Klein stopping the The AHS offense. Could happen and I'll be here to give props if it does but no one has yet.

Also Klein will not be overlooked. Coaching staff will not allow it. Everyone playing this week is good and deserves to be there.

I'll be back later in the week to post my take on the game. Gotta learn a little more about the Bearkats.

[SleeperG]

Comparative statistics - check.
Offensive players - check.
My team is disrespected - check.
Anyone in the semis is a worthy opponent - check
Your team plays in a weak district - check.
Jokes - always appreciated.
Spelling and games - really wierd (sp).

So, I think that most of the major topics have been been discussed and it is only Sunday. Against my better judgment, I am going to ask, how is Abilene's band?

Klein's competition program was waaaaayy better than KC's, but that's because I am a sucker for Gershwin.:D

[Catclaw]

I think he mis-spelled his own team's name. Although I have never seen it missed THAT badly. It is K-L-E-I-N!:ninja:

[ROD LEE]

no one. TJT was the best team any one could have ever dreamed of facing, and so it is proven that Klein can now beat anyone.If you think I was implying JT runs with authority you are sadly mistaken. I was simply asking a question but if you are getting defensive or simply don't know about your team that's good.

[ROD LEE]

If you think I was implying JT runs with authority you are sadly mistaken. I was simply asking a question but if you are getting defensive or simply don't know about your team that's good.


Im implying nothing. The question "who has Abilene played" is and should be answerable by anyone who has a brain and follows texas hs football in any way. AP #1 team. Easily beat the team that easily knocked out Southlake. ALso beat a team that gave TJT their only other loss. Thats who we've played. Your question implies something that shouldnt have been raised unless you dont fit in the two categories above. Defensive...you wish. We have much more to be proud of in the "who have we played" category then any other team left playing in DII. What you see as defensive is actually me saying it doesnt really matter who either team played to get here, but we win that category anyway :) NOW WHAT? ;)

While some reference the binturong (http://forums.5atexasfootball.com/wiki/Binturong), with reference to SHSU and Klein, it is a mythical half bear - half large cat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Houston_State_University#What_is_a_Bearkat.3F

Kinda like Al Gore's ManBearPig, but this one plays football.

Abilene and Klein have both beat enough good teams to make it to the Div. II Semi-finals. That's all that needs to be said.

[warbird00]

why you talking about my pet like that! lol :D:D

[ROD LEE]

It's ok you won't be so touchy in a few more days....Touchy? You can't answer a simple question without feeling someone was making an implication.

[AHSeagles]

I don't doubt Abilene is special, most teams are when still playing in December. My question was mainly directed at Klein's ability to defend against teams that run with authority from a tight formation. You said Abilene's defense has seasoned. So who has Abilene faced that run with authority from a tight formation?

That's not what I asked. Maybe some other Abilene faithful has better comprehension.

Since you don't seem to be getting the answer you're looking for, Burleson and Weatherford both ran versions of the Wing T. As far as ran with authority, I don't think it gets much more authoritative than Cedar Hill. We handled all of the above teams just fine.

my bad. Please see my pvs post that still answers your question. But thats still NOT what I was saying, nor was I being defensive. Thanks.

We handled all of the above teams just fine.It was like pulling teeth but I knew someone would come through. So Abilene has played and had success against other tight teams which could prove to be valuable.

Right. I answered this question on page 6. You were empahsizing "with authority" im sure of that, and the reply is the two teams we face the last two weeks. Im fast baby and I comprehend you before you comprehend yourself. ;):rolleyes:

I don't think you understand what he is getting at is that you haven't played a team like Klein Period. You have played some Wing T teams and some team that run more than pass, but you haven't faced a combination, plus throw in a stout Defense and some good coaching and you guys have a ball game on your hands

[KleinFan]

I got it. for Wing T he's right. For strong running team "with authority," he's wrong.

We've heard that same line every week of the playoffs. "Y'all haven't seen a team like (insert team name) yet..." Cedar Hill was as strong of a running team (other than us:D) there is in Texas. The wing T isn't going to fool our defense because the teams we've already played this year that run it. Cedar Hill had by far the most success running the ball against us, and that's with 2 D1 RBs, at least 2 O-linemen that are going D1, and the offensive line averaging close to 280 lbs. a piece. IMO, no team is going to have their normal success running the ball against the Abilene D.

[AHSeagles]

You don't think Cedar Hill was team that "ran with authority"? If not them, then who?

[warbird00]

No, thats what I'm saying. Maybe we havent faced a wing t team that ran with authority, but you dont get anymore "run with authority" then C hill. His statement was implying "we havent faced anyone who ran with authority." The only way to make that true is to qualify it with "that ran the wing t."

[AHSeagles]

No, thats what I'm saying. Maybe we havent faced a wing t team that ran with authority, but you dont get anymore "run with authority" then C hill.

Ah, gotcha.

[ROD LEE]

my bad. Please see my pvs post that still answers your question. But thats still NOT what I was saying, nor was I being defensive. Thanks.You don't know me and I don't know you but I see we got off on the wrong foot. Abilene has played against a tight team after playing TyLee which they handled very well. A team that's 3-6 rounds deep can't be discredited, they are special. Abilene and Klein schedules ARE irrelevant at this point. What does help someone like me, who doesn't know much about either team, is to know at what frequency has each team faced what they'll be facing in each other. I still don't know if Klein has faced a tight team this season.

The Wing-t is the Wing-t. Rregardless who's running it, it's defended the same. JT played two teams this season that use wings and tights and those teams are suspects in a homicide
