Which teams have a realistic shot at making deep runs? Chester, Hardin, Huffman, Barbers Hill? With 4A Bellville moving to region 4 that will guarantee a new region champion for the first time in a couple years for region 3.
Key game next week between Brookshire Royal and Columbia. If Columbia wins (which I personally think they will) You will have a 3 way tie for second between Sealy, Brookshire Royal, and Columbia.
This! I think Carthage and Gilmer are the only teams that have the level of skill position talent with Silsbee in 4A D2 . Carthage was above everyone’s level last season until running into China Spring in the third round last year. Thankfully (For Bellville’s sake lol) there is a bit more to winning football games than just who has the better athletes…. Otherwise there wouldn’t be much stopping Silsbee. As far as the region goes if there were a power rankings…. This would be mine
1. Silsbee
2. Cuero
3. Bellville
4. Jasper
5. Hamshire Fannett / Waco Connally
Those are my top 5 in the region with Cuero and Bellville basically being inner changeable IMO
Also you guys in district 9 are lucky to have good competition to get y’all ready for the playoffs… Columbia and Sealy are ok but the rest of our district doesn’t amount to much… I hate that we have to finish the season playing Wharton and Sweeny…. The two worst teams in the district.
