I saw highlights of Buford and they remind me a lot of Cocoa. Both schools have about the same number of students. I'd love to see this game, who do you think would win?

[jbell73986]

I'd like to see a small school Herbie tournament. I know LA has some salty small schools, bring in Cocoa, Buford, Gilmer, Carthage and a few others that are out there I don't know about.

Buford would win IMO.

Gilmer and Carthage would be beaten by Buford and Cocoa, but I'd like to see those games.

Gilmer and Carthage should make an East Texas classic, where they bring in small OOS powers like Bolles, Madison County, Cocoa, Buford, Salmen etc..........

I agree in all parts. After watching Cocoa (I'll see Buford tomorrow) Carthage and Gilmer would struggle. A classic like that would be good to watch nonetheless.

Buford has a lot more top end talent then Cocoa does; GA people say they get a lot of talent that moves into the area or finds a way to play for Buford in some way - Cocoa's just a bunch of kids from their area - not an area known for bigtime players.

I'd favor Buford, but not by much.

Cocoa with a QB, different story. (2009)

Ive seen them both on different years. I will take Cocoa. Cocoa is battle tested and probably easily makes it to state again.
Cocoa plays Abilene, Colerain, Skyline. Buford plays Yulee and Mansfield Timberview..

Who wins tomorrow -- RDB/Mission Viejo? Should be a good one.

Several teams in Texas ranked among the elite -- another new one on the horizon possibly -- FM Marcus beat Arlington Lamar 59-0 last night.
Has outscored 3 opponents 172-33. Tonights big games: Allen/Longview & Aledo/Lake Travis.
DeSoto/Cedar Hill & Arl. Bowie/Dallas Skyline are definitely worth watching.

According to the DMN it said the score was 27-7. Are you sure on the 59-0 score?

Nonetheless, Martin, Marcus and Desoto are on the rise. We'll see if they have staying power or have just peaked early.

So far FM Marcus has played Waxahachie, Grapevine and Lamar. A 4A team, and two mediocre 5A teams. On the rise? I guess we'll see when they play the likes of Allen, Plano, PESH. Flower Mound and Hebron,

[jbell73986]

I haven't had a chance to see Trinity yet. They are as usual dismantling teams. How do you think their pass defense compares to previous years?

MAXPREPS has it 59-0 -- that's where I saw the score. They're not always accurate. Sometimes they even have games and scores duplicated -- example; showing a 3-0 team as being 4-0.

[lamarfan]

Maybe Super B can answer this. At the TX Herbie were they playing by High school federation rules or by Texas rules that are close to College rules ?
Because I never noticed any team running the ball out of the end zone and I saw alot of penalties for blocking below the waist.
