South Panola vs Texas 5a teams

[WhitHughes96]

Does anybody think that South Panola could compete/beat the perrenial Texas 5a title contender?

I think Pegues senior year they most definitely could have competed. The past few years I don't think they could as much, but 5-6 years ago I legitimately think that the South Panola teams were among the best in the nation.

I think that they certainly would compete at the very least. Their one loss this year was to MUS, one of the top schools in Memphis, and I don't know how that MUS team would have done against a team from Texas.

So, I'm going to say compete with the best of Texas, but probably not beat.

SP could hang with those teams athletically. Problem is, those teams are smarter along with being athletic, and SP doesn't do a whole lot. SP is easy to scout usually. The problem is, even though you know what they're going to do, you can't stop it since they have better athletes. I'd be curious to see them run into more teams that can compete athletically with them and also have the smarts to diagnose the simplicity of what they do.

The problem stopping SP's "simple offense" isn't that the guys on the other side are dumb. It's physicality. They are stronger than you and they've been running the same blocking schemes since 7th grade.

A Lance Pogue coached team could compete. Not sure about win. However, I do believe the Ricky Woods/Willis Wright coached teams could compete and win.</p>

That's what I'm saying. There are teams that can answer their physicality. They just don't typically run into them. I'd assume the top schools in Texas could match that and answer it with smarter schemes. It'd definitely be interesting.

when both were ranked in the top 10 in the nation then later I watched South Panola in the MS state title game. It was very obvious that South Panola was much bigger, faster and stronger than either of those other teams. They ran more sophisticated offenses, but when you're both smaller and slower than your opponent, there's just not a whole hell of a lot you can do about it. It appeared to me that South Panola would have beaten either of those teams easily.</p>

The difference is where there might be three teams in ms that can compete, there are probably 30 teams that could compete in Texas. I'm sure there are years where the have teams like south lake a couple years ago, but sp would be top tier anywhere.
