6A 2013 State Championship: Pine Bluff vs. El Dorado

[zebradynasty]

Gate, I think you're talking about Frazier. That game probably has to rank up there with one of Bolding's worst game decisions in his seven years at PB. I think he probably knows that too.

Coddero Frazier (Pig) was absolutely a beast that year! One reason he may have ran Johnson so much was that year we were very thin at RB.

Still if your strategy to win the game is to hope the opposing coach makes mistakes....then do you really believe you can win?

[gatecrasher]

Did I say that? No.
I have repeatedly said it may come down to coaching though. Many title games at all levels come down to coaching.
If that's the case, ours>yours.

[gatecrasher]

But as for '09, when you have a receiver of that caliber, you target him 10+ times. You put a guy like him in motion to get him into a mismatch.
He caught a TD pass that day but I don't remember him being targeted more than 4-5x.

[zebradynasty]

I think the extra week is really gonna help the Z's. It allows them time to re-focus plus extra practice. I doubt we will put in anything new other than add formations so that we can do what we been doing but make it look different. The extra time should help polish the passing game. Reports are the team is in a good frame of mind same report I got the week leading up to the game against GW. But hopefully they can carry that same mental state to Saturday night.

[AirWarren]

Go wildcats! Bring one home to the real south.

[gatecrasher]

Something to be said about tradition whether any of you morons realize it or not.
Tradition and coaching in December go a long way.
This game is pretty much a draw on paper. It'll go down to the wire.....
Gate gets to celebrate for the 4th time in 5 yrs. My wife said I'm spoiled. Call it what you want lol....

El Dorado 27-23.

[7AFBFAN]

Good luck to both teams tonight, two great coaches, two great programs. May the best team win.

[xtremewildcat]

Just to make my prediction formal.
ED  24
PB   21

I hope the PB band stays home again.

[ELDOWILDCAT88]

Eldorado 34
Pine Bluff 31

[DogsWin7]

Just to make my prediction formal.
ED  24
PB   21

Eldorado 34
Pine Bluff 31

So, you both only think ED will win by 3?

I pick PB to win.

[gatecrasher]

I don't care if we win by 1. Too many get caught up in margin of victory. I used to.

Survive and advance. Or in this case, hoist the dang hardware.

[thebigshot]

El Dorado wins by 4

It's going be a dog fight,

[thebigshot]

I just hope El Dorado worked on their tackling drills for two weeks.

Exactly, No Bonus trophy for margin of Victory.

Is there a webcast of the game anywhere on the internet? I sure do wanna watch.

Exactly, at this point by 1 or 35 is all the same when it comes to engraving that trophy and making those rings!

[BvilleTiger]

PB takes early lead.

7-0

Not good for the ED faithful as they made it look easy.

[LJ06]

I'm torn between this one. I like Eldo, but PB has part of the Warren family in Mr. Gragg playing for them.

Here's the El Dorado POV:  http://www.kix1033.com/

Will be interesting to see how the wildcas respond

[HorseFeathers]

Sounds like El Dorado can't stop the run game at all right now...

[HorseFeathers]

El Dorado takes to the air to score....PB 10 El Dorado 7 2:21 to go in the first quarter

[BvilleTiger]

ED responding well. Lead 14-10

[Oldbadger]

What?  They call a long timeout or something?  What's happening?

[HorseFeathers]

Think Eldo is up 21-10.....It's 3rd down and 15 at the PB 20 for eldo at th emoment

[Oldbadger]

Thanx!

[HorseFeathers]

El Do is up 24-10 with 3 minutes to go until half...They just kciked a field goal..

[HorseFeathers]

Betting gatecrasher is feeling pretty good about right now lol...

[HorseFeathers]

Pine Bluff gets at the own 20
1st down--4 yard run to the left
2nd and 4---4 yard run over the left
3rd and 2--Trevor Hunt stopped in the backfield for -1...El Dorado Time out with less than 1.40 to half

[Oldbadger]

Thanks!

[HorseFeathers]

4th down....Teams line up...El Do called time out, which saves them a penalty cause they lined up with 12 on the field

PB Punt--ED Fair Catch at around the 40 yard line

1st and 10 QB keeper up the middle for 9 yards  1:10 left
2nd and 1--Willis carries some PB defenders for the first down
1st and 10 PB 44---PlaQB Scramble for 4 yard, gets out of bounds


El Do is at the 32 now...Took a shot downfield and missed an open reciever

[bleudog]

Let me help you out there HF:

[HorseFeathers]

2nd down and 15 at PB 37 following inelgible reciever down field for El Do ....20 Seconds left in the half now
2nd Down pass tipped at the 25 yard line Incomplete---21 seconds to go
3rd down and 15 QB Keeper for Waldrum, 2 yard gain...Clock rolling with 14 seconds

Hurried ELDO FG is blocked and picked up and ran back by the Zebras for the TD after time expires. 24-17 at the Half

[xtremewildcat]

This is gonna be a sloberknocker!

[gatecrasher]

Dumbest coaching decision of the year at any level. Coach Reed is kicking his own butt right now. We didn't need those points that bad. Should have just let the clock run out.

However, El Do defense has shut down Pb since the latter part of 1st qtr. Opening possession of 3rd qtr is gonna tell a lot. An El Dorado stop there would be huge.

[WCN]

Score? I never understand how this is always left out! Lol

[HorseFeathers]

Stats for those who didn't follow Bleu's Link

PB  129 Rushing Yards 11 Passing-----4 Penalties for 32 Yards-----1 Turnover

Pine Bluff looks like they have never played a team that passes the ball.....

El Do kicking some tail.

[WCN]

Thanks Oldbadger! Saw it after the fact.  Seems to be shaping up to a classic!
