North Shore vs Ike

[Squirrel88]

Anyone think that NS will have any problems putting Ike down? I thought that Humble would have had an easier time than what they did.

I think NS blows through this one...

47-3

[Big Daddy Cool]

I'm hoping Ike will give us more of a challenge than Aldine did, thought something tells me they'll probably hang with us for a series or two and then it'll be all down hill from there.

[CyFallsMom]

I don't think the challenge will be there - NS 42, Ike 3. The Aldine schools just aren't what they used to be.

[t00 playa]

Whew! just got back from brownsville..... spent all day sunday installing a water heater in a house in mexico that had no water heater to begin with.. just a water line going in to the house.. so we had to start from scratch... no AC in thos houses with concrete floors and cinder block walls... but we did it...and picked up some bottles of tequila as well:D just got back so havent been here on the site since saturday around 12... but it feels like an eternity!! but its good to be back.....


I think NS will win this game.. and I think it will be semi close... Ill say... 35-7...... the humble score is why im predicting on the side of caution.... :eek:

[ktCarl]

Aldine I.S.D. football has plummeted. What a shame. Ike was always a power in the Houston area and Aldine won State in the early 90's? Anyway, if NS has any problems it will be overconfidence. It should be over by halftime.

Hey man, dont hesitate to throw out the big scores. Humble had a sophmore qb that skipped the jv and sophmore team. What an experience for this kid. Gets to start on an excellent team his sophmore year. He didnt do so well, but hey, he got the win.

[HUM398]

i wouldnt hesitate to throw that big score out thier either, like humblefield said... Sophmore QB playing instead of our Starter (who knows why), the game would of been alot more spread out somthing like 35-7 if we had a passing game,Humble had no problem at all moving the ball down field, but some QB mistakes cost us at least 3 chances to score. but we didnt score so oh well (dont really like to make excuses..sorta had to be thier to understand)... i aint gonna whine cause we got the win. Ikes Defense is big and fast and like you said may hang in thier for a couple of drives...maybe keeping you from scoring 45-60 points..but you NS should have no problem stopping them from scoring..Thier offense is horrible. Thier RB is alright and may sneak in for a score, possible the Qb sneaks in with a run...But thier passing game is just not thier...and you need one to get over those front seven...

My prediction: 42-7 at best... 28-3 at worst.(very unlikely)

But i will say this, Ike did impress me with thier heart.. They really wanted to beat us. I just dont think it was likely to happen...even with our QB out.

There is no reason to pick Aldine against North Shore this year.

Well obviously someone thinks there is. they have one vote and it wasnt me :D

[nsmustang]

Yeah!! Like Pea-Land has a killer schedule. The toughest team on your list is in class 4A- Lamarque. What a shame if they pound you. If there is a doubt as to the strength of NS's schedule, look it up on this website and see where they stand. Any arguements, take them up with KT.

[Pearland1]

Im suprise NorthShore did not set up games agains Milby or Northbrook this year maybe next year. Good luck agains the pasadena power houses this year NS.

Pearland has no room to talk... I dont think pearland would of done much better against NS...

I think they are still bitter from the game last year.....Pearland needs to gear up for Lamarque.

[HUM398]

I agree, Lamarque may be a 4a school but they arent a slouch team... They got a good amount of talent returning this year. What is thier ranking this year... I know last year or maybe the year before they were 1 or 2.

State wise....I'm not sure but I'm gonna say maybe 3rd behind Brenham and Texarkana......

[Oiler1]

Pearland, Brook, and Creek each had openings for preseason. Each lined up better teams in preseason. NS chose not to. Katy, Westfield and Klein Forest were available. Brook took Westfield and Creek took Klein Forest. Katy had to hook up with Klein. NS didn't line up when it had a chance (all coaches have their reasons...fans have theirs). Pearland's Coach Heath arranged things so he could play Lamarque his former school (could be his last 2 seasons since P'ville won't be a 1 hs town much longer).

ONLY way the Sho loses this game is if all the players get sick before the game and they have to start their freshman squad.

No one said they were gonna lose. Tooplaya just said that he thought Ike would come out and play tough... Remember That Ike is a school with talent equal if not better then NS, and Westfield. It would be stupid to just assume that NS is going to blow them out 65-0. Thier is a mental battle as well, Ike in the past was what westfield is to NS now (a thorne in thier side). Ike will lose this game, but dont make the mistake that they wont be able to hang in thier for 2-3 series. Ike is just as big and fast as NS...The differance is the coaching that NS has vs. IKE.. in this aspect NS is far superior to IKE. Thier Front seven will give Ikes Option a really hard time. But remember that Iks defense has alot of super talents on defense... They will be able to slow NS down at first, but NS will bust out late 1st quarter early 2nd to put Ike away.

35-7 is a good sound score. Could be more...could be less. Depends on how bad Ike wants to show everyone that they are on the rebound.

[G-Man]

Aldine I.S.D. football has plummeted. What a shame. Ike was always a power in the Houston area and Aldine won State in the early 90's? Anyway, if NS has any problems it will be overconfidence. It should be over by halftime.

Aldine ISD went down when Joe Young retired as AD. Hired good coaches. Most are gone now. Smith, Patterson, etc...

[Big Daddy Cool]

Its not just last years game that has left a bitter taste in their mouths were North Shore is concerned. Its the fact that they have had some pretty good teams the past four years that have unfortunately had to go through North Shore in order to advance in the playoffs. And you can add to the bitterness the fact that North Shore was the first team to defeat them at their precious "Rig". So they have quite a but to bitter about when it comes to us. May be one day when they finally conquer the mountain that is North Shore some of this bitterness will subside.

[nsmustang]

I'm really not here to rag against Pea-Land. They have had some great teams in the past. It's just when I hear someone hammering us that is not in the position to do it, I think backlash is properly due. We've had almost the same situation with Wesfield but to Shore fans' credit, we give credit where it is due, not sour grapes. Westfield was great those years they beat Shore and there is no whining about it from us. In fact, most NS fans I know were cheering for WF to win the title. As for Pea-Lands' game with Lamarque,
I believe Lamarque could run in 5A and do well. Also, words were put out on this thread that NS backed down from non district heavy weights but who has proof of that? How do we even know that anything was asked for or arranged? I can get on here and make up all kinds of things but until I hear it from Mr. Warken or Coach Aymond it stays as a false rumor to me.

[t00 playa]

Pearland seems to be on our schedule every year as well... but like i said before.. you have the same record against us as the rest of our "easy" district does..... 0 wins... against how many losses? pearland needs to start doing its talking on the field against shore.. not behind a computer... :eek:

exactly what i was saying.... when you have a team with that much talent... it can be unleashed any time... yes thier coaching is suspect.. and it has hurt them greatly.. but the pieces are there..and every now and then... all the stars are lined up and strange things happen..... :eek:

[Squirrel88]

Lets take a quick look at the powerhouses that Pea-land faces this year.

Non-dist-Kempner
Non-dist-Madison This team hasn't been good since the days of Vince Young
Non-dist-Memorial
Non-dist-La Marque This is going to be your roughest team
District-Clear Lake
District-Brazoswood
District-Clear Creek
District-Alvin
District-Ball
District-Clear Brook


Those are some rough teams to face. None of them are on the top 25.

Yessiree.. I would not want to be in their shoes having this grueling schedule. It makes the Woodlands schedule look like a tea party.:D

[rich_pack]

After seeing Ike the last several years, I have to pick the score to be
NorthShore- 62
Ike- 3

[nsmustang]

NS's defense will stop Ike big time. Unless they have a worthwhile passing game, they will go nowhere. Gaineous will have a big night and Dave Campbell will lose sleep because he did not see NS coming this year......(again). 50-7... Ike will get a token score against the second team.

they run the option...and cant pass the ball.. so that is not a good combination against a top notch defensive line and with speedy linebackers.. it will be tough going for IKE.. ... but 62-3 sounds like a bit much!:eek:

The way I see it with all the talent, speed and coaching North Shore has, the score could easily eclipse 62 points. However, the Sho always calls off the dogs in the 3rd quarter when against a lesser opponent or their stats would be off the charts for alot of their starters (other schools leave them in and it skews the stats). Only way I feel it gets that high is if the 2nd team gets a few of their own, which is possible.

[DPOG]

at least 45-7

Great team speed, freakish athleticism, superior coaching, good size, and probably 10 d1 recruits vs. outdated system and inferior coaching makes for a nasty game. NS does call off the dogs but only after humiliating most opponents.

[Big Daddy Cool]

If taking your first string offense off the field before half time is humiliating to the other team. Image how humiliated they would be if we did like some teams and kept them out there for three and a half quarters. What would you Pearland people prefer us send our second string in first? I mean most of our second stringers would probably be starters on most other teams.

Not me, you go with what gotcha here. I personally have no beef with Shore. Love the stadium and they did bring a title back to H'town. The Westfield game was a joy to watch last season, they just didn't come out on top. I refer to the stat runup of some lesser teams that are playing even lesser teams and they show up as leaders on the board after one week. If North Shore left their starters in they would put up even higher numbers than they already do. I've witnessed many times where Shore pulled starters early against lesser opponents and will do so this week as well. Not worth riskng injury when you have it in the bag and the experience for the backups is priceless.

[Big Daddy Cool]

Indeed I mean take our championship team for instance. If those boys would have stayed on the field more than they did they would probably broke some scoring records. There were several games that season where they could have easily put triple digits on the score board if they had so wanted to. But Coach Aymond isn't about showing up the other team. He lets his horses run for a while and then pulls back on the reigns when he feels they've exercised enough.

[unbiasedobserver]

I like that idea of NS sending in the 2nd team first.

[Big Daddy Cool]

If they did I doubt it would change things enough to matter. They would still put up a lot of points and people would continue to complain about how they did it against weak teams.

[Optimus Prime]

Aldine I.S.D. football has plummeted. What a shame. Ike was always a power in the Houston area and Aldine won State in the early 90's? Anyway, if NS has any problems it will be overconfidence. It should be over by halftime.

I agree with you, IKE has not fielded the teams of years past. I remember them putting fear in people the way that NS ,SLC, Katy and Lufkin do today. I do see NS running up the score on them and having their second and third strings having some PT. I hate for any team to get beat that bad but sometimes it happens. I wish their was a run rule put into effect.:D

56-7 NS

[Big Daddy Cool]

There have been many times over the last couple of years where Coach Aymond has made the offer to have the clock run contineously in the second half. For those that have taken it the scoring has been kept down to an extent. But I mean you can't tell your team to lighten up because then you risk them injuring themselves by not going full speed.

[nsmustang]

that is what i was thinking after i read that.. i think he has a good post... but i dont think humiliation is the correct word choice......:eek:

I agree. It is a good post. If Ike only has an option, it will be a long, long night for them. Shore will take them out early as will be expected. I would think 62 points would be a good guess but who really knows. Ike may come
in with fire in their eyes thinking they have nothing to lose and make a game of it....but this year, I doubt it.

[Favpack]

Rest assured -- if Ike decides to quit - Ike quits. They don't even pretend to quit - they just kinda lay down. Will be interesting to see how they do against NS and Lufkin.

That is funny. I know that is experience talking as you guys have played them
the last few years. It will be a good game or a go to hell in a hand basket for Ike. Just depends on which team shows up. They remind me of the Alief teams NS has played over the last several years. Good reputation and perception from past history but no meat on the bone currently.

[Big Daddy Cool]

I see them as kind being where were about 12 years ago except they people know who they are and what they've done. Where as no one knew us or feared us like they do now. The talent is still there it just needs a leader to bring it back out. Hopefully this new coach can string together a couple of good years that will bring some of those who have given up on the program back to it.

This could be ugly....common opponet for two of the tops teams in the state. Lufkin might use this as a measuring stick to NS....if shore runs over Ike.....The pack might try to top them.

[texasboy]

i dont know what has happened to ike. they have track stars and all, but they cant seem to do anything in football i dont know what's wrong with them. seems as if they have just given up in football and taken over track

IKE defense is strong, and fast.. they really played well... North Shores running game was decent.. however.. what made this game close is that our passing game was non existent.... i know fizer can throw better than he did today.. much better.. so thats a good thing... however...North Shores defense looked stellar... they played well... and stopped the run... and came up with big plays when then needed it... so the passing game was one of my concerns.. as well as poor clock management by NS in the final minute of the 2nd quarter that cost them at least a field goal try.... IKE never got close to scoring in my opinion.. thier defense held strong much of the game..but couldnt muster any offense... NS had the chance to add another TD in the final minute of the game... but... let the clock run out.....Gainous had two tds but was slipping on the wet turn many times... Fizer.. i give him a B+ on his performance.. he played well... but timing was off on his passes.... but.. overall good game... glad it was a close one.. we may see them again in the playoffs..i was very impressed with the IKE D..but all they do is run... and thats it.. and NS will run u down from sidline to sideline as well as plug up the middle... and thats what happened.. since IKE was run only. thats why they didnt put any points on the board.. ..but IKE is no pushover..they are not a powerhouse.. but they are no pushover.. i can see how they gave humble a good game.. because they were giving us a good game till midway through the 3rd quarter.....next up.. woodlands..:eek:

Sound like NS and Humble had much of the same problems, lack of passing game and bad clock managment... but we fumbled twice..Got to fix that WHEN we meet in the playoffs (NS vs Humble).

Glad to see that atleast somthing is going right for IKE, thier passing game was horrible huh? the running game is subpar, and it looks as if NS shut the only thing that can get them in the endzone

Thanks for filling me in

yep.. basically what happened... i havent looked at the projected playoff bracket.... so i dont know whether u guys would face them first in the playoffs or if we would... but they are one dimimensional.. didnt they like only attempt 2 passes against you guys? :eek:

3 or somthing like that... and the passes were all over the field... at one point the passed the ball to a Humbe defender were he ran for 23 yards before getting knocked out of bounds, No Ike WR for at least 20 yards. They played us tough though..Got to give them that...they deserve it

not sure how is gonna work during the playoffs...Thier way to Run and not enough anything else to make it very far, but i think they will take thier District.
all i know is that it seems like fate will bring Humble and NS for yet another meeting in the playoffs:eek: ... Thier always fun to watch.

Back from the NS v. Ike game.

Ike's alot better team than their 0-2 record.

They are big and fast, and have no problem smacking you in the mouth, playing their brand of smash mouth football. They hurt themselves with turnovers tonight, and NS did make them pay, but this game was a good test for NS.

Field was little wet from earlier rain, and it still being the old sytle astroturf, made it hard on some of the NS boys. From watching them slip and fall during warm-ups and during the game, maybe NS needs to invest in some turf shoes, when they have to travel to stadiums with the older turf. But, both teams had to play in same conditions, so that shouldn't be any excuse.

Gainous had a huge game, and looked like he got close to 100 yards, if not over. Fizer was pressured on alot of this throws, but his recievers weren't doing him any favors by dropping easily caught balls. Again, I think this is just the kind of game that NS needed, heading into the next weeks oppenent in TWHS.

Congrats to NS on a great victory, keep up the great work, and keep playing one game at a time.

Ike oppenents, look out, they are going to suprise some one this season, mark my words. Hold you heads up boys, you got nothing to be ashamed about, you played a great game, and you should be proud of the effort.

[Big Daddy Cool]

IKE has always been a run first throw the ball second kind of team. They've never had a true passing game all they've had was a chunk the ball down field and let one of our athletes run down field and try and catch it. Ike's strong points have always been a bruising running game and a bruising defense. They've always been one of those teams that wasn't worried about lighting the score board up just makign sure they outscored thei opponent.
