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.

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.

Are you saying Barbers Hill is down? 
During Vidors 7-0 start, did they play anyone with a pulse? Records aren't always the end all be all, need to look at who they are actually playing. BH has played some big time programs, not sure anyone else in the area has played anyone remotely in the same ballpark.  If you are only playing other teams from the Golden Triangle you might want to step out and play some other areas. Bridge City stepped out and played the Dickinson tourney two years ago and never came back, the same tourney BH has reached the finals 3 years in a row and won it back to back. Nederland has played in the John Turner two years in a row in Pearland and has finished in the bottom both years. My opinion is BH is close enough to Houston area club volleyball that their players develop at the top levels of club where as east texas/gold triangle has a hard time keeping up due to logistics. Until that changes the level of volleyball in HS will not change. 
Huffman lost some srs last year including their setter so that is tough to replace. They got on a magical run last year but for perspective they lost to BH 3-0 last year and 3-0 the year before.  
 
 

Some of you folks aren't actually here to talk volleyball.  Stirring the pot is what y'all like to do.  
Yes, we have lost games.  Are we upset about it? Not at all.  It's all game experience to get better as a team.  I don't know if anyone noticed but Vidor came into Hardin having won the Silsbee tournament and was 7-0, but lost in 3 sets.   Like I said before, tournament/non-district games don't really matter.  Those games are to get ready for district play. 
In my opinion, volleyball is down all across the board.  Even Huffman, who is coming off a state volleyball run last year, is down.  They are still good, but not the same as last year.   I have not seen many dominant teams this season, with the exception of maybe Tatum and Jewett Leon.  
Edit: I want to say that the last paragraph is based on what I have seen.  I am sure there are some really great teams out there and I just haven't seen them.  I'm sure Barbers Hill is one of them.  I've never seen them play, obviously due to my job.  I'm sure y'all think it's funny I post on here but I actually do love volleyball and like to see the legit info that is posted here. 

5A Baytown Sterling went 28-8 last season and two rounds deep in the playoffs. They're no slouch. 

Vote Totals 1. Barbers Hill 20 2. Bridge City 18 3. Buna 13 3. PNG 13 5. Hardin 12 Others: Hardin-Jefferson (11), Nederland (9), Vidor (5), Hamshire-Fannett (4), Tarkington (3), LCM (2) Voters: Ashly Elam, Mike Canizales   Interesting that Bridge City stays at 2 after losing to Baytown Sterling in 4 sets.

1.) Port Arthur Too many good athletes not to pick 1st
2.) Crosby- Because BH hardly beats them at Crosby
3,) BH- weak secondary/Strong front 7
4.) La Porte stud RB if he stays healthy
5.) Porter will surprise a couple teams this yr
6.) Baytown Lee  It’s Baytown Lee
7.) Kingwood Park They’re always mysterious/ did have a good QB not sure if he graduated 
8.) Baytown Sterling-  it’s Baytown Sterling/Atrocious 
9.) GCM- it’s GCM/ more atrocious 

I’m just talking a little crap trying to keep this volleyball thread interesting no need to get butt hurt 

Which one so we can know who doesnt know volleyball?

I saw PNG performed well but was at a very weak tournament. Looks like the Baytown schools struggled as well. The District is looking down compared to last year overall. 

Barbers Hill finishes 10th  and as the highest finishing 5A team.
Key notes - Beat Manvel in 2 and #1 5a Houston ranked Friendswood in 3 who are potential 3rd round playoff matchups
Beat #3 State Ranked 5A Birdville in 3
Two of their loses were in close sets to the teams in the championship Dripping Springs and Mt St Marys.
After leading 6A defending State Champ and current #1 6A Dripping Springs the Eagles fell in two close sets.
Lost in 3 to Mt St Mary from Oklahoma  who was 47-1 last year. 3rd match went to 25 (23-25), had it only gone to 15 as most 3rd sets do the Eagles would have won 15-13. 
Good showing while also learning some things. The Eagles should be state ranked next week.
District foes Crosby and Nederland finished 39th and 42nd respectively. 
Nederland beat 44th place Bryan twice and 48th place Porter for their three wins.
Crosby beat 40th place Kingwood Park, 45th place Sequin and 47th place Spring for their three wins.

This is the most action the volleyball board has seen in years😂

The racist Mayor Adams was running his pie hole years ago saying NYC was a sanctuary city because he knew the people illegally crossing the southern border really had no means to get to New York City that is until Governor Abbott started shipping them up there and now all of a sudden they can’t handle no more. 😂🤣
I am not a big Abbot fan but I say send Mayor Adams a million more illegals. 
 
Matter of fact I say round up all the illegals and send them to Blue States with Blue Sanctuary Cities. 

Lord that isn’t culture that’s just someone that thinks the rules are not for them.

We could still go 4-6. The participation numbers are still low, we probably won’t even have enough for a freshman A & B this year. The fact that this year we more physically look like the Crosby teams we’ve become known for is somewhat of a given. We’re probably not going to have two consecutive years being as thin as we were last season if things are normal. We also have the supplemental talent eligible this year which is a nod to those kids and parents for getting their business taken care of even while the program was rudderless. All we’re talking about is what Crosby looks like physically. 
Houston Westbury looks like Spring Westfield and can’t play a lick though. 

Man, who literally gives a crap about how kids celebrate? You sound like get off my lawn guy. You know how many people we’ve watched celebrate like they’ve won the Super Bowl when they’ve beaten Crosby at home, including y’all? 
 
Potentially sitting six weeks your senior has a way of impacting things, among other variables. 

They did…

14.2 is my entertainment as I watch the phased evolution of his outlook.
Phase 1 - Doubting that the coach can walk and chew gum at the same time
Phase 2- Screw it we’re moving to Dayton this is BS
Phase 3 - Meet with Coach and he’s ….ok maybe we win 2 games
Phase 4- (current phase) Recruiting season begins and kids from around the state flock to Crosby.
Phase 5- (entering this phase) Practices begin everyone is huge, fast and better than any team in the past. We might just win 5 games
Phase 6- Beatdown from King lowers expectations, but King is the best team in the country so who knows
Phase 7 - plays well against FBM …. We may just make it to state …hell yeah

Phase 8- (Final Phase) beats Lee to death then gets embarrassed by BH at home. 14.2 exits the board till playoffs.
 
Dallas Cowboys of Harris County

Was Coach P, aka the coach of accountability, the coach that was stomping on the BH logo in midfield or was that Rio? 
So I take it 14.2,  you are back on board from the "Crosby hired an old guy coach and looking to transfer mantra" we heard this summer? 

Which Baytown school do yall think will be good enough to make a run towards a playoff spot?
