TheRealCAJ Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Red Zone Alert Evangel Christian Academy 4th Quarter ~7 minutes to go Evangel Christian Academy is inside Allen's 20.

TheRealCAJ Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Nice effort from Evangel.... When half a team meets a complete team it normally doesn't end well. Evangel represented well though in TX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their HC needs to get a grip real fast or things will implode quickly. I think they will finish 3d in that district. There are other fairly new DFW powers, along with Allen and Desoto, this season IMO. (Sachse and duncanville) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sachse and duncanville) Ok I'm killing the Sasche bandwagon right here and now before it starts...as I was a victim of falling for the hype once: I've been in Texas long enough to learn that 1 good season doesn't make you a "fairly-new "power...Sasche has only had 2 double-digit win seasons since 2010. And in those 2 double-win season I believe the farthest they've made it was 2nd or 3rd in the playoffs (Loses to Skyline and the Woodlands in the playoffs iirc) Luckily for them one of those seasons was last season so I can see the hype for them this season....But I'm also seeing/expecting another 2nd/3rd playoff exit from them...They're basically. A mini-Manvel...A talented team that disappoints you in the end... As for Duncanville...they're getting better (and are fun to follow for the Samples quest or saga (as I call it))...but they're not quite there yet to be considered anywhere close to power status... With that said....I hope they do well this season... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangel has scored 21 points in 2 games which 7 of those were on a KO return. Evangel is pretty much what we thought they were. Evangel blocked an Allen punt got the ball on the Allen 30 miss a FG. Evangel got in the red zone once turn it over on downs. You have to get points vs the Allen's of the world. The rest of the schedule is Evangel's friend till the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me who the hell is better than duncanville in region 1 besides maybe Allen and Desoto? sachse, before last night, was ranked 3d in DFW by DMN behind only Allen and Desoto. They will move into the AP top 10 this week. Duncanville was a regionalist finalist last year, so definitely one of the better DFW teams towards the end of the season. what has made way for these two teams to be propelled towards the top are the downfall of a few blue bloods: skyline, SLC, Trinity and cedar hill (so far not looking too strong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, duncanville is currently ranked 6th in the area behind SLC and cedar hill who both lost big last night. So like I said, Allen, Desoto, sachse and duncanville will be the top 4 DFW teams and I predict will stay there for the rest of the regular season. the only other area teams that have caught my attention are martin and Mansfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Evangel's offense will be fine. Breaking in a new QB with all but 1 new WR's against ESL and Allen is not the easiest way to start the season. Beginning this week, they will start to have an opportunity for them as well as the OL to gel. Same as last season. They will not be touched in state unless a team like Rummel finds a way to spread them out with short, quick passes to negate the pass rush. Side note: I have been told that LSU commit and #1 DT in state Davin Cotton did not play in the Allen game. I have not verified this but if true, it makes their defensive success against Allen that much more impressive. If anyone watched the game, he would be #54 for ECA at DT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
