CAPITAL FARM CREDIT WEDNESDAY NIGHT PODCAST : Evan & Dan make their 2022 football predictions
Evan & Dan make their 2022 football predictions
EVAN REN: Is Haskell witnessing a genuine miracle on the gridiron?
HASKELL — Is there such a thing as a genuine, God-produced miracle?
The answer you receive to that question will largely depend upon who’s answering. But the fact that unexplainable events associated with the term “miracle” do occur is undeniable.
Such a circumstance is currently taking place in Haskell, where second-year football coach Mitch McLemore is in remission from Stage 4 esophageal cancer — a case so bad that he was given a five percent chance of defeating it.
Are we witnessing divine intervention? One can offer any opinion they wish on this case, but if you fail to credit God for it in front of McLemore, it’s going to fall on deaf ears.
2022 BRECKENRIDGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW: Good returning numbers have Buckaroos optimistic heading into 2022
BRECKENRIDGE — Three years into his building project at Breckenridge, head coach Casey Pearce may finally have enough weapons and experience to create a large blip on the Big Country radar screen.
Coming off a 4-7 season that saw his Buckaroos finish 3-2 in district play and qualify for the playoffs, Pearce has 14 of 22 spots filled by returning starters, including his starting quarterback, two promising running backs and perhaps more overall speed than any Class 3A team in the Big Country.
“We’re in a position to have an opportunity to compete at a pretty high level,” Pearce said. “We’re excited about what we’ve got. Our offensive skill kids and our foot speed are where we want them.
“Our biggest question will be our offensive line and how we put that together. We’re fairly athletic (up front). We’re just not super heavy.”
2022 DUBLIN FOOTBALL PREVIEW: Talented-but-young Lions hoping young faces can keep momentum going
DUBLIN — After a 9-4 season that saw his first-ever Dublin team push three rounds deep in the Class 3A Division II playoffs, Coach Greg Hardcastle will have plenty of faces to replace in 2022.
Graduation hit the Lions hard during the spring, leaving Dublin with only three offensive and three defensive starters returning among 12 lettermen. The good news for Dublin, is that the Cupboard isn’t completely bare, though experience will be scarce at first.
“We’ve got some good young skill kids who are going to be inexperienced,” Hardcastle said. “We had a good 7-on-7 season with some of those kids and they were able to create some timing stuff with Chris (Teten).
“So we’re looking forward to seeing what those guys can do.”
GOLDTHWAITE FEATURE: Campbell twins ready for final year on the gridiron
Carsyn and Cutter Campbell have been competing against each other their whole lives.
It doesn’t matter if it’s on the football field or at their house, Goldthwaite’s senior twins are always seeing who the “big dog” is.
“Whether it’s the first one who gets to the truck or who can eat the most food, we’re fighting for it,” Carsyn said. “Everything is a competition. We’ll end up tying or one of us will win, then the other will win the next time. We don’t have a legit answer on who’s the better twin.”
GOLDTHWAITE 2022 FOOTBALL PREVIEW: Youthful Eagles welcome a new coach and a new system
GOLDTHWAITE — Andy Howard is more than comfortable being back on Goldthwaite’s sidelines.
It’s the hometown of his wife, where his four kids still go to school and where he spent from 2015-18 coaching the Eagles’ defense under Greg Proffitt.
After being at Brownwood the past three-plus years, Howard returns to lead a football program that has four state titles on its resume but also hasn’t enjoyed a winning season since 2016.
