Agree 100% Gordon reminds me of the 2004-2007 RS teams with T. Ethridge. They (like RS) have lots of talent and would win state even without the Reed kid. Just like RS would have won state without Ethridge. Just think about that. Without their best kid/the best 6 man olayer in Texas….they...

He made some bad throws but his receivers also dropped some balls my 90 yr old granny could have caught. Wouldn’t have mattered though. The game would have ended mid 4th if those errors were corrected…w/RS moving on. However, looked to me as though Strawn was just scared to tackle Ethridge...

The state game will a statement game for both teams. Unless you’re from Gordon or Jayton I wouldn’t waste your money or the drive. Gordon by 45 early in the third. Could be sooner if Gordon doesn’t let under classmen play. Jayton by 45 at the middle of the third. Could be sooner if RS...

Yup…. And the reason David Vs Goliath is so famous is because it hardly ever happens. Normally Goliath just kicks the S out of David.

Because even if you (like me) love six man football, I’m not willing to pay the expense to watch a very unexciting, lopsided game that lasts until half. If my team is still in the hunt then I’ll pay to watch them play. Deep in the playoffs as a persons hometown gets knocked out then that...

I hear ya, but unfortunately the common theme for the last 5 or 6 years is that there is a dominate team in both D1 and D2. Aquila has a good team and could beat the vast majority of other teams but as you said, they are not beating Gordon. So really, that’s all anyone cares about. I hate it...

Gordon is a solid team but it’s just stupid for an 11 man team to play them. You lose and your team sufffers a demoralizing defeat. Win, and who cares…you beat a six man school (even if they play an 11 man game) If any of the boys at Gordon plan on playing at the next level they’d be better...

I will agree. A terrible (no motivation, not a lot of athleticism) dragon team got whooped but a better but not very impressive bobcat team. The bobcats found out like everyone else the dragons will face this year is the only threat the dragons have is their jr running back. Ok speed, ok...

Iredell won’t be a threat to anyone. High hopes for this season fizzled when one of their lightening fast backs decided not to play football his senior year due to not wanting to risk injury and harm his college scholarships in track. The other back transferred to Hico, and two others starters...

Just kinda curious why Gordon would do this? For the competition since they are expected to win state pretty easily, or are they moving up to 2a in a few years?

Yes Really fast kid not playing to stay healthy and focus on college scholarships in track. I believe he’s received some already. Other kid went to Hico.

I don’t recall their numbers but there were two other starters from last yr that went to Stephenville (no sure of they are attempting football there). Last name was Sweat.

No…he’s not playing his senior yr due to offers to run track next yr at the university level. Who can blame him. The other back has transfered to Hico and two others transferred to Stephenville. They are not happy with the coach at Iredell. Iredell will be way down this year.

Just a word about the rankings, particularly in D2. Iredell (now 8th) will be way, way lower after a week or two due to several reasons. Most notably their speedster that’s won state in track for a few years will not be playing football his senior year due to having some incredible offers at...

A great player indeed. Quick bursts, good instincts, etc…. But that’s a little inflated statement especially when his experience in 11 man is 1 year where he played for a team with all kinds of offensive weapons including a QB that’s going to TCU and receivers going to play college ball too...
