I think they will go into 5 games.  It will be a good match.  Coach McDaniel is a dang good coach.  I think PNG does have a good chance in beating Huffman.  Wish i could go and watch.

I am curious why do you think Coach McDaniel is a dang good coach. There was some at Nederland that were not upset that she left.  I am wondering in your opinion what makes her a great coach?  Pretty sure she inherited a JV and freshman team that went undefeated last year which I assume most of those girls have moved up to varsity?

Now that PNG has played BC and won and got third place in the Gold Bracket in the Dayton Tourney they should at least be ranked Higher than BC. BC has been sitting at the #2 spot the last couple of weeks and has not earned their spot like others have. They have faced any good competition, until Baytown Sterling and teams in the Dayton Tourney.

Do you think PNG will beat Huffman tonight? 

@AshlyHasBeen  here yo go.  This is very accurate.

If I could remember the scores I would.  I only keep up with the overall sets won per game. I have no desire to keep Maxpreps updated.  That usually would fall under a coach's responsibility.  Also, by no means am I saying we have played amazing, but I know every single game I have attended (which is all of them) we either play really well, or really bad.  There seems to be no in between. 

@FortheloveofthegameUpdate the sets then, I hear ya. The coach should update it but if they don't help he girls get the respect they deserve by reporting atleast W/Ls.  I always wondered why the rest of the state updates but SETX doesn't. It seems like lack of education on expectations or maybe its that volleyball just isn't that big a deal in that part of the state which ties back to the lack of big time club volleyball in the area.

@AshlyHasBeen you really put faith in a poll that has PNG 11 and BH 19 after the results of the two vastly different tournaments they both played in this past weekend? 🤣

I know, I had just responded to both of the statements made in one response vs responding separately. 

@Fortheloveofthegame do us a favor and update the scores here

Bridge City should cruise through this tournament 👀👀

Not so fast my friend 

2 minutes ago, 3’s please said:

Once again look at who they played . They won the Tarkington Tournament and beat Buna twice. So would they be ranked. 

That was my point, absolutely not.

Is Huffman not considered part of this area? 

Even if they were do you think a 6-7 Huffman team should be ranked? 

Crosby definitely has the advantage in the parent analysis column. Not sure how that shakes out in the W/L column though.  Coach Willis should give you a headset 14.2

BH Seems like they have the offensive weapons if QB has time to find them.  The LBs should be stong but dont know much about the secondary.

I won't disregard the Texas Girls Coaches Association poll because it's been around for a long period of time and that's what most if not all of us used in TV/Newspaper. I also send in results for my district. I would like TVI's rankings more if they posted records, even if they're incomplete. 

You can use it as it makes your  fanbase happy  but all I can tell you is it is way off. That is the problem with the TGCA poll, all they look at is records and don't weigh strength of schedule. Lets look at BH, two of their losses are to the two of the top  3ranked teams in the 6A poll but yet they are 14 and behind #9 Foster who they just beat in a sweep? Their other two losses are to stacked private schools, one who is the back to back 6A state champions in Oklahoma. Not taking that into account is laughable at best.

The only team in the region we cover that's going to Volleypalooza is Barbers Hill. I think everyone agrees they are on another level compared to our region. Off the top of my head I don't think I saw any 3A teams entered in that tournament.

The school I work for (HJ) is heading to San Marcos for the Ragin' Rattler Tournament. 

BC is 4a and pretty sure there are some 4a schools in there. 

Huffman is now 6-7 on the year

Laporte 3 Crosby 0. Crosby now 3-9 on the year?

What teams would you put ahead of Bridge City at this time? It feels like you have some beef with BC for some reason lol. Buna is sitting with 7 losses. 5A PNG has 2 losses to 3A competition. Bridge City is in the very early stages of their schedule with one loss. So I'm really not understanding why a team with one loss in four sets (one being 29-27) is all of sudden not worthy of a top 5 rating for our corner of the state. 

Bridge City will face PNG in the Dayton Tournament, so we'll get a look at two of our local teams. 

Next week BC travels to Orlando, Florida for the KSA Tournament. 

I don't disagree with you, PNG losing to 3A Buna twice is an even worse look than losing to Sterling.

Maybe disregard the TGCA poll too since they ranked PNG soley on record with no account of who they have beaten or lost too. They need to get more voters because its way off. Reference the TVI poll  instead which is 100 times more accurate.

As far as who would I rank above them, well that is the issue IDK.  I think with only 4 games played though while other teams have played 10 plus games should maybe make them an incomplete. No beef with BC other than I know they are not in the same class of the teams they had the previous two years.  The KSA tournament is not a good tournament unless you just want to visit Disney World. That is interesting because the best high tournament in the country is going on this week in the Austin Area with Volleypalooza. You want to get challenged that is what you sign up for not KSA.

week 3 rankings

These are so much more accurate than then other

Bridge City is going to Florida to play in a tournament.  JS

That tournament is more for vacation than it is for competition. Its generally really weak.  Waste of time and resources in the big scheme of things.

We’ll see. BC plays Orangefield then travels to the Dayton Tournament this week. Two of us vote on this and we feel they do belong. 

Do you think the Dayton tournament has really good teams in it?  Why is Bridge City intentionally laying low with the qualify of their schedule? Losing to Sterling is not a good loss.
