[quote name="3BRONCOS2" post="895186" timestamp="1288746838"] Sence when is Brenham the king of the south in football? They are a very talented team,but so are we. They beat us last year because we didnt come out to play in the second half! The year before it was a win for us,so on my count its 1-1? Reply what you wont to this but i wont post on this subject again until after the game "if we play". [/quote] Not to sound cocky bro, but according the last game that we played, stats & rankings, we are the king of the south... Until proven otherwise. ;D

[quote name="shovelhead" post="894530" timestamp="1288706441"] If PNG doesnt beat Central, and we go as a 3rd or 4th seed in this district, I hope we DO play Dayton. I have a problem with 4 teams from each district going to the playoffs, but that is another thread. If the 4th seed in 20-4A or in 19-4A could beat Dayton or Central, well they have done something! Besides, Dayton vs PNG would shore look purty with all that purple out there!  ;D [/quote] You really want that?  It's bad enough if you get Dayton, but if you escape that you get us next...  Not the path I would perfer.

Just read this today in the Banner Press- Brenham gets Caney Creek if, Huntsville beats Willis.  If Willis beats Huntsville, it will be Kingwood Park.  (Kingwood Park beating, Huntsville made this possible)

[/quote]Bet you would feel pretty silly to be ranked #1 but lose in the first round of the playoffs.  I would rather go into the playoffs unranked and when a few games than be in the top 10 but be one or two and out. [/quote] Ya it puts a target on you, and yes you get everbody's best shot, but that's all part of it.  You know that, and it makes it fun.  Besides, ranked teams don't rank themselves.  They play to win and earn respect.

[quote name="Scooter!" post="894240" timestamp="1288662179"] Central and WO-S in the top ten after Friday [/quote] Even if Central wins, they might not break in to the rankings...  If Cedar Park keeps it close against Lake Travis, they might not drop out.

I'm gonna predict Oklahoma.

[quote name="oldollie" post="893585" timestamp="1288624071"] You are right Brenhamfan, If the 20 4-A guys are in close playoff games it will not be a new experience for them having to make plays late in a close game. But I know the 20 4-A teams are all pretty much banged up from 7 weeks of tough games. Not excuses, you just don't have any games that you can coast through or rest starters when the teams are so closely balanced and you are playing tight, close games every week. No doubt Brenham, Dayton, and Mont. are excellent teams that would give any team trouble no matter how rested the other team is, I am not questioning them at all! But when some of the schools that are finishing 3rd and fourth place in these districts start talking trash about CentraL, PNG, Ned, or LCM not being any good well that is just wrong. I would like for some of them to play Ozen and see what they had to say about Ozens talent! [/quote] I agree...  Our third place team ain't bad.  As a matter of fact, if Stratord beats us Thursday, they will be in a 3 way tie for the district championship.

[/quote] Nederland needs to make the playoffs for Dayton to play PNG.  (If I'm no mistaken) [/quote] If Livingston gets in, they have tie breaker against PNG, but Nederland would also need to make it. won't PNG be the #1 small school though? dayton will play the #2 [/quote]

7 more weeks...  ;) All teams have the opportunity to play for another 6 games after this week.

[quote name="oldollie" post="893524" timestamp="1288620431"] Being a balanced district could hurt 20 4-A some in the playoffs. Every week is a tough game and drains you physically and mentally for 7 weeks. If you had a couple of laughers mixed in there you could rest some guys.When you are in a dogfight every game for 7 weeks it has to take its toll. Just my opinion. I don't believe any 20 4-A teams would be bottom dweller teams in those other districts and would be playoff contenders. [/quote] This is a true statement IMO, but it should also prepare you for big games later in the season.  I do wish our district was tougher from top too bottom, like 20-4A & 24-4A.  We do have a very solid top 3 though. (Brenham, Montgomery & Stratford)

[/quote] Or you could say, it's either Brenham, Dayton, or a 24-4A representative every year for the last decade.

[quote name="BRONX ROX" post="893026" timestamp="1288557043"] Looks like BREN is hitting on all cylinders. Come out of the next one healthy and good luck in the playoffs. Be seein you soon ;D [/quote] We've wrapped up atleast a share of the district championship already, so it will be interesting to see how long the starters play on Thursday.  Hopefully we can get a comfortable lead and rest some people.  Staying healthy is always important, but never more important than right before the playoffs.

[quote name="friogal" post="892578" timestamp="1288498112"] WOW congrats Brenham....see ya'll soon!  ;) [/quote] Thanks, I'm looking forward to it.  Congrats to y'all on another solid win too.
