View Full Version : Can anyone in 3A beat Brownwood this year?

I have not seen them play, but from what I have seen of their stats and read of about their games (newspapers and 3adownlow.com), they are going to be awfully hard to stop this year. Maybe...Wimberley has a chance if they get Dennis Smith back before then (not even sure if that's possible with his injury, though). The only other team I can think of having a chance is Sealy, but they will go D1, so they won't even meet up with Brownwood if Abilene Wylie or Big Spring either one make the playoffs. Argyle possibly can hang but they have a good chance to go Div 1, too.

The only other teams I can think of are Celina and Kirbyville, but Celina will most likely go D1 this year believe it or not. Kirbyville is pretty good this year, but don't know if they can hang defensively with Brownwood.

Anyone on here follow 3A ball and care to chime in?

Brownwood will be D2, that's a fact, either Big Spring or Wylie will be D1 from that district.

I've seen the Lions play twice this year against Stephenville and this week against Snyder. And all I can say is... WOW!!!

There is no team in 3A that will win a track meet with them. There is so much skill talent on that team it's almost unfair for a 3A. Jaxon Shipley is the best HS WR I think I've ever seen.

The only way anyone will beat them is with a BIG smashmouth team that controls the lines and limits posessions. And even then I'm not sure about it, the QB is mobile and makes really good decisions and if he gets in too much trouble he can always throw it up to Shipley and he'll just outleap everyone and pull the ball in.

The defense is just as good, not very big but incredibly fast and great athletes that are fast and can jump. They swarm the ball and cause turnovers.

Athletically speaking, my Trojans from Madison are better than Brownwood. The problem is that Brownwood will be more technically sound than us up front. If the game is a shootout I can't say that that would bother me because we can score with them. A close and low scoring game though would not be in our favor.

quick answer: Nope, great coach with prior state championships, top D1 receiver (coaches kid), good system. i hope he stays as long as coach Wood.

Go watch the clips, put your bias to the side, and make an honest post on this topic. As good as Shipley is, Graylon Brown is what makes that offense tick. The dude is elusive like Ronnell Sims, but more physical.

THIS!

:heli:

No team has ever beaten WO-S twice in one season, Kirbyville played us the very first game after our star QB passed away on the field in a game against Jasper. We led Kirbyville 7-6 at halftime with a sophomore QB pulled up from JV in that game and Kville ended up winning 28-14 (which was their closest game this season so far). We've outscored our opponents 301-29 since then going 6-0.

Just saying....

This is a good question and, we may not find out until the semis if anyone can.

Athletically? Dallas Madison and WO-S matches up with them very well. Unfortunately, Dallas Madison is in D2 so, we won't see that matchup.

Coach Shipley sounds pretty pissed off in this article. Brownwood held Borger to 183 yards of total offense, and still had almost 400 yards themselves. Brownwood was up 35-0 with about 9:00 to go in the 4th quarter. Yesterday I would have picked Brownwood by 21 over Monahans, but now that Ship is 7 kinds of pissed off it might be uglier than that:eek:

It was so worth the price of admission to get to see just how good they are and the talent they present.

Line, QB, RB, and all recievers make it look so easy. When shipley gets his hand on the ball its a feet in itself just to get your hands on him let alone tackle him. I dont think ive ever seen a kid make the moves he does EVERY time he touches the ball. QB is as good as they come , speed , knowledge, STRONG arm, and in total control of the game from start to finish. Running back doesnt get the ball all that much but when he does its 20 + yards a carry. I see no 3a team in Div 2 touching them.

I should have been paying attention to this thread. I was there at last night's game since the Abilene Eagles are done this year, I live in San Angelo, and this seemed to be a potential big time game. I arrived 30 minutes ahead of time and I knew Brownwood and Monahans would have throngs of support filling the stadium. But, it was still about 25% more than I anticipated. I could not find a seat inside the 20's on Brownwood's side, so I managed to get one on the 30 on Monahans' side. I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of fans for both. I told a Loboe fan that there are over 100 5A schools that don't have 1/10th of this amount of fans, and I went to a 5A playoff game in which the home team at their home stadium had a couple hundred fans there at most.

Very impressed with the enthusiasm showed on both sides of the stadium; it was a very loud party from the start through 3-1/2 quarters even on the Loboe side being behind by 3+ touchdowns at that point. Abolutely no lack of bell cheers, chants, bell rings, horn blows, and more from either side; a whole lot that hundreds of schools "fans" (loosely put) could learn. It was also a lot of fun to this 45-year old being right behind a half dozen well spirited early teenagers and close to the school band. Many of our 5A school band programs could learn alot from the programs, directors, students with how often and loud they were with their instruments. I really enjoyed this game due to the atmosphere emanating from the fans of both sides, even on the side that was getting a beat down.

I saw Jaxon play last night as Brownwood beat up Monahans in the Class 3A DII R1 Finals at San Angelo Stadium. The kid is big time special not only as a wide receiver, but very dangerous at returning both kickoffs and punts. He broke free a few of those returns and nearly took it to the house twice, plus he scored on at least one reception in which he avoided half the defense almost by himself.

And yes, his older brother is Jordan, former Texas Longhorn and current rookie at Cincinnati (sucks he has "T'ocho" as teammates).

and yes 5 missed pats- sure hope they are not in a close one and need a field goal or extra point- their kicker is terrible, actually I thought Mojo kicker was on the field.

LOL. Thats about where I was, sporting my red ball cap of 7-Time champion Dale Earnhardt as the 1998 Daytona 500 winner. I was at the end of an aisle near the band at the north end 30 yard line on the home (Monahans) side. I intended to spend each half on each side, but there was about a thousand more on the visitor (Brownwood) side, shoulder to shoulder walking, so I just returned.

You've got me on Graylon Brown's rushing yards, I figured Monahans would put up a little more of a fight on defense and force him to run a little and I was wrong. Brownwood scored on 6 of their 8 offensive possessions and once on defense. Sloppy by Brownwood standards, but a win is a win.

As top notch as Shipley is, another option for the QB needed to step up, but didn't. Instead, Carthage showed why they are the unflappable two-time defending champs and deserve being in Jerry's World next weekend.

Carthage has 2 losses on the year! One was to Nacogdoches, and the other? A 44-16 beatdown against Chapel Hill, who just lost to Henderson in the 3A-D1 game last night.

East Texas football is something else!

How in the hell did Nacogdoches beat Carthage?

Chapel Hill is understandable, that's amazing that the Dragons beat Carthage.

Sir, I'm not sure either. But, you know what they say! On any given day......

Correction! Carthage lost to Chapel Hill 46-14 but, they beat Henderson (who once again beat Chapel Hill last night for the 3A-D1 title) over a month later, 43-33.

From the ARN...
"Based in District 16-3A, whose members refer to the league as the “District of Doom,” Carthage swept through with a 5-0 record. Its two non-district losses came to Tyler Chapel Hill and Class 4A Nacogdoches in successive weeks, during which the Bulldogs were missing seven starters due to injury.

Yep. Thats why they play the games. In HS and especially at the deep playoff round level anything can happen and usually does.

Yeah - they just fell apart with injuries there for a bit. Still - the loss to Nac was surprising as the Dragons were not good at all.

The Carthage win still surprises me as I thought Brownwood was more complete than Graham, and to me the Bulldogs were still inferior to the past two years. Congrats Carthage - a rare 3-peat!

Well, they still have to beat Coldspring-Oakhurst.

In case some of y'all missed it, Coldspring-Oakhurst pulled off an upset over Wimberley last night.

Highlights on Fox High School this morning showed a very talented Coldspring with a lot of confidense who jumped on Wimberly fast and never looked back.

Could be a very good Championship game. That said Im going to go out on the limb and take Carthage 42-17. I think they 3-peat after beating a Most Talented Brownwood team. Experience pays off again.

Knew Shipley would get outcoached. Watched him at Coppell and he is all talk.

To answer the question can Brownwood be beat. The answer is yes. Carthage Bulldogs has just done it. Last year they beat the McCoys. This year they beat the Shipleys. Way to go Carthage. A 3peat is on the way.
Go Carthage!:D I must say I like Bob Shipley, though.

Awesome speech and I like Bob Shipley more than before. It's just like I said on the thread about the guy that blamed God. We're not guaranteed to get everything we want when we serve Him. Sometimes we fail, but it's how we recover from the failure that shows what we are as a person!
