After giving it some thought and speaking with some other folks in the business (along with some coaches), I have made the decision to do team rankings of our coverage area teams here at SETXsports. I haven't done them in a few years but I think it's time to bring them back. I am not going to pretend to know everything about every team we cover here but I think I can put out a pretty accurate assessment of our teams. I will reach out to others (including some coaches) for input on some teams. These rankings won't be the "end all, be all" and I fully expect negative feedback from week to week. I have tough skin and invite any feedback to help give a more accurate ranking. These will be SETXsports rankings but in the end, it's just my opinion. Whatever that's worth. I will be doing the 3 poll system. Top 10 6A/5A, Top 12 4A/3A (more teams in this group), Top 10 2A/1A/Private. I thought about doing top 12 for all three and bring back the Dirty Dozen Rankings label. But for now, 10,12,10. I will post a Pre Season ranking on Tuesday, November 10. But, I will not follow up the next ranking until after Thanksgiving. Probably first of December. Then it will be a weekly ranking from that point until end of regular season. Most likely will come out on Tuesday mornings each week. These are the teams that are eligible for these rankings: 17-6A (Channelview, Crosby, North Shore, Humble, Atascocita, Kingwood, Summer Creek, CE King) 18-5A (Northbrook, Spring Woods, Kingwood Park, New Caney, Porter, West Fork, Splendora) 19-5A (Goose Creek Memorial, Baytown Lee, Baytown Sterling, United, West Brook, Dayton, Nederland, PA Memorial, PN-G) 18-4A (Bridge City, Jasper, Lumberton, LC-M, Silsbee, Vidor, WO-S) 19-4A (Hamshire-Fannett, Hardin-Jefferson, Huffman, Liberty, Livingston, Shepherd) 20-3A (Anderson-Shiro, Tarkington, Coldspring, Crockett, New Waverly, Onalaska, Trinity) 21-3A (Diboll, Huntington, Pineywoods CA, Central Heights, Newton, Pollok Central, Woodville) 22-3A (Anahuac, Buna, East Chambers, Hardin, Kirbyville, Kountze, Orangefield, Warren) 23-2A (Chireno, Garrison, Joaquin, San Augustine, Shelbyville, Tenaha, Timpson, Woden) 24-2A (Colmesneil, Big Sandy, Deweyville, Evadale, Hemphill, Sabine Pass, West Hardin, West Sabine) 28-1A (Brookeland, Burkeville, Chester, Goodrich, High Island, Hull-Daisetta, Leggett, Spurger) Beaumont Kelly Beaumont Legacy Please post any thoughts here if you agree or disagree with how these rankings will be done. Again, I want to hear from you guys. Any and all help is welcome.

It does make for an exciting final week. Plus, it keeps almost every team still having to play their best right to the end. Of course, the majority of this district has been nothing if not inconsistent. A lot of talent. A lot of youth.

41-20 Silsbee

Don't know about other teams/players and their stats. All I know is that against Vidor, he had 53 yards.

Depends on how Silsbee D handles the run, and how well they can pass the ball on offense. Shepherd D is solid against the run, but we burned them all night through the air, conditions just slowed us down a lot. Silsbee struggled against Vidor earlier in the year, and this matchup should be similar, but the Tigers have improved tremendously throughout the season. I don't know that it'll be 45-16, but I expect a comfortable Tiger win.

Nederland defense struggles. Ned - 20 Dayton - 26

Reminds me of 2022 when Bowie got hurt at KP, couldn't comeback til 3rd round. Why do those kids not wear braces??

Correct. EC has clinched. I failed to put them as clinched. Their seed is still to be determined. I'll correct.

I'm just going to wait until Thursday. The playoff picture should clear up. I think we're getting the chaos you wanted to see 😂

There’s so many signs out everywhere I think I voted for a realtor. 😳

This is what was sent to me about this district. Ashly, here is our district scenario. We have also clinched East Chambers +18 with Kirbyville left Kirbyville -4 with East Chambers left Buna -14 done Orangefield 1st seed Anahuac 2nd seed EC win, EC 3rd seed Buna 4th seed Kirbyville win by 1-10 points. EC 3rd seed Kirbyville 4th seed Kirbyville win by 11 points or more Kirbyville 3rd seed EC 4th seed Orangefield, Anahuac and EC have clinched

If that is true, WOS has problems with this team. No accountability in the penalties is going to kill us.

I think it’s when you vote asap where you stop getting annoying text messages. Personally, I think people should sue the campaigns for data & text usage. Not everyone has an unlimited plan.

That’s what @Matthew328 & I had using points. I didn’t see any differences in using points or H2H. Maybe just a coincidence. Or, maybe I missed something.

Lufkin and Sterling win puts West brook in. Sterling beat GCM earlier in the year by 7 Lufkin would be 5-3. Three way tie Sterling GCM West Brook.. West Brook goes in on points.

Be nice when y’all finally get the Roku app fixed where we don’t have to mirror from our phone. It’s been a real pain with all the political texts & junk interfering with the mirroring. 😉

The problem is Jerry Jones. He is the one in control He hired coaches that can’t coach and they have players that don’t care whether they win They have had the worst secondary in the NFL the last several years. The defense is 32nd out of 32 teams. Offensively, they can’t run the football because of a weak OL and it doesn’t bother Prescott , Pickens, or Lamb if they get beat. I will be surprised if they win more than 6 games this year

Tarkington @ OF Thursday nights. Lots of good choices for a pre game meal, open for hidden gems…

I would expect nothing less. I’ve seen a couple Lufkin games this year. Before the season began, I had 9-5A as LP, PAM, GCM/Lufkin interchangeable. I still haven’t given up on that prediction. But, I’d obviously prefer it to happen with a loss by y’all and BU. Sorry. I actually think both are likely. As far as rest, LP is a lot more than just Simon. He only has 3 games all year with over 20 carries. He still has almost 1600 yards rushing and 21 TD’s. Our Sophomore RB Dieudonne has right at 700 yards and 11 TD’s. So, teams can’t just focus on Simon in the run game. LP is also a lot more balanced this year. About 65/35 mix. (Over 1500 yards passing, 19 TD’s, 1 INT & over 2700 yards rushing with 39 TD’s.) In district play, LP is averaging 53 ppg, and giving up 24 ppg. LP’s D isn’t near what some may believe. Many of those points given up were after the games were already decided. It’s good to have some Lufkin posters here posting finally. I’m kind of outside the SETX core area also. It’s kinda lonely. 😎

Not what I asked, but ok.

I hate anybody who touches a child. The current administration is bias. Seems to be a qualification to get Trumps support.

I know you are concerned with Texas politics, but are you in the clear of the reactor leak in SC? I haven’t heard any more on it.
