Couldn't disagree more on Ridge Point. They will not go far, certainly not to the state title game. We agree on Manvel, though discipline has been a problem for them against a team like Katy. But, at their best Manvel can play with anyone 5A or 6A. I wouldn't call the Cy Fair district the toughest, but I would call it the most balanced. The top end of Cy Fair looks like they are playing at a level below the top teams in GHA in my opinion. Cy Ranch does have one of the best coaches and they are a threat because of that. The problem for them is Katy and NS. Either one is better than Cy Ranch and unlike their run to state previously they did not face teams of that caliber to get there last time. Alief Taylor does play in a tough district, but they would not be a seven point favorite over defending state champ NS, but a 10 point underdog, at least. I think R3 D1 is mostly a decided game. It will be Katy or NS. R3 D2 is a little more uncertain. I don't see a clear favorite. But, in the end that team will lose to a very good Steele team looming and licking their chops at not having to play Katy to go to state. I just don't see anyone in R3 D2 capable of beating Steele, who is a top 5-6 team in the state. Allen is still very formidable and better than 99% of the teams in the state, in fact they may still be the best. It will take a team like Lake Travis or The Woodlands to beat them this year. R1 D1 is usually stout, but I'm not sure I see anyone that would be a favorite in that region over Allen.

Ridge Point really hasn't played anyone yet. There record is fantastic, but I'm not convinced they are on equal footing with the likes of KC, Katy, The Woodlands and NS. To a lesser degree, the same can be said about Cy Ranch and Alief Taylor. They've played better competition than Ridge Point, but not the level of competition of the top four in my opinion. I agree Allen looks beatable. I'm not sure about Duncanville, but San Angelo is really playing well and might be the team to do it. If they get by the R1 competition they will likely face The Woodlands. At this point, I think The Woodlands is playing better and would likely win that game. Big shake up this year. Lots of teams in the mix.

Unfortunately for West Brook the best two 15 6A teams are going D2, KC and Stratford. Same thing in 16 6A with Westfield. But, not so with District 13-14, the better teams in that district are going D1 (Cedar Ridge and Round Rock). Same with West Brooks potential second round opponents from district 9-10. Undefeated Sachse and one loss Rowlett are going D1, while West Brook gets third or fourth best team from that district. Luck of the draw I guess.

Yeah, I knew the order but didn't know the numbers exactly thanks. Stratford is smaller yet. The only two in for sure are KC and Stratford, so since they are smaller than the other three, they will be D2 for sure.

Desoto, and I could be mistaken is not a lock for either yet. The speculation is D2, with a smaller but possible chance of D1.

They are already locked in at D2 along with Stratford. Both are smaller than the three teams still eligible for the two remaining playoff spots, Klein, Klein Oak and Klein Forest.

West Brook is D2, Katy is D1, the two can not meet in the playoffs. But, both could be state champs together. Cedar Hill is in Region 1, but Desoto is favored to win Region 1.

I just looked at projected district playoff qualifiers. Westfield would be West Brook's probable third round opponent, although Houston Stratford their 15 6A opponent in the first round is a very good team too and could pull the upset over Westfield. Like with West Brook and Longview, the winner of the game between Westfield and Stratford should be a clear round two favorite over a weaker district 13-14 opponent. Cedar Ridge is not currently expected to go D2. The potential fourth round opponent for Westbrook is likely the winner of John Tyler and Klein Collins. Of the 16 teams in R2 D2, I would rank the favorites in as 1. Klein Collins 2. Westfield 3. John Tyler 4. Stratford/Longview/West Brook.

Yes, that is right. West Brook is D2 R2, Katy is D1 R3. The two can not meet. Two of their biggest challenges should be Westfield and Klein Collins. John Tyler is also in the mix as the number one 11 6A district rep. Undefeated Round Rock Cedar Ridge may go D1 or D2 in Region 2, they too will be one of the favorites in either division. District 9 and 10 from Dallas do not appear too formidable in D2, so whoever wins the Longview v West Brook game should be the favorite in the second round against whoever they play from district 9-10. If West Brook gets past round two, that is when they will likely play one of the favorites, Westfield, Klein Collins or Cedar Ridge.

Not even close. Beaumont West Brook 6A would beat Porter by at least four TD's if Porter were having a good night. TWHS another 6A team beat West Brook by 65. As someone said earlier, Porter despite the perfect record hasn't played any contender in 5A and they certainly are not among the elite 5A teams.

No one is saying they are a great team. They have faced two opponents that do have great offenses, albeit Lufkin has no D. I continue to believe they should be number four on this list. Do you really believe Porter or New Caney would give up less than 70 to The Woodlands a top five 6A team?

I'm not sure what you are thinking ranking BWB below about fourth. They would crush by several TD's any team on this list except NS, Atascocita and maybe PAM. You let The Woodlands score influence you too much. They got beaten badly by one of the best 6A in the state. That does not put a 7-1 BWB behind good 5A teams. JMHO

It will be interesting to see what he does against The Highlander run defense next week. I'm guessing his numbers won't be very impressive. Katy's stud RB Glass averaged 230 yards per game prior to the Katy v Woodlands game. He got 66 on 23 carries against the Highlanders. I'm guessing they will shut Lloyd down too.

I have LV as the favorite. Both have played Rockwall. Longview beat them and JT did not. I know that comparison doesn't mean much sometimes. But, I see Longview as the better team this season even without that game.

Very curious to see the results tonight between Lufkin and West Brook. West Brook may be able to score on Lufkin given the D is not a solid as that of the Highlanders. Right now it looks like Montgomery, West Brook and Oak Ridge will be in a dog fight for the third and fourth district playoff spot. The picture might be a little clearer after the games this weekend. Best of luck and safe travels to all.

The Highlanders were on a roll last night. The War Eagles were better at stopping the qb runs than West Brook. But, otherwise the game was very similar to that game.

Haven't heard.

My take away from the Lufkin game was wow that qb was good and so were the receivers. I don't think many teams have that kind of talent and like I said they were the highest scoring team on the Highlanders in the last two years. I went to the sub varsity tonight. BWB had some success with the passes similar to Lufkin. Their receivers seemed very quick compared to the Highlander db's. But,in the end the Highlanders were too deep. The Highlanders were able to get great pressure with turnovers in both games. The B team game was 42-0, the A team game was 28-12 as I recall, but I could be a little off on the A game. I was really impressed with especially the A team qb for BWB.

For WB fans who want to know.....The Lufkin game last week was the most points given up by a Highlander team in two years. Leading up to the Lufkin game the average score given up by the defense was 10 points, while the offense scored 31.5. Those totals changed to 38 ppg offense and 16 ppg defense after the Lufkin game. Katy's running back Glass averaged 230 yards per game in the Westlake and Klein Collins games and ran for 66 on 23 carries against the Highlanders. No team has been able to run on the Highlanders this year. If WB is going to beat the Highlanders it will be with their passing game. The strength for the Highlanders offense will be the OL at just under 300lb average for the five linemen, the qb who has twice thrown for 6 tds and the 4 starting wide receivers. #6 is the district 100 meter champion and can fly, the other three are not far behind him. I'd love to hear more about the WB team, best players, etc.

The Defense is considered the strength of the team, the Offense a work in progress. One could argue the work in progress did well with 63 against Lufkin, but that has been the exception. The Defense has carried The Woodlands this season and last season.

Very interesting to read WB fans perspective on the game. This site was mentioned on statewide football site 6Atxfootball. Glad to know there is a site I can go to for more info about SE Texas teams. WB fans are not too different from the take of The Woodlands fans. A poll on that site picks the Highlanders as favorites. But, some say watch out for WB. On both sites West Brook's previous competition seems to be the big question. The WB record is impressive, but what does it mean? HS football fans will find out real soon. I've never been to the WB stadium and may try to make this game just to watch two programs that to the best of my knowledge have never played each other. The Woodlands will bring a huge band, many cheer leaders and dancers and probably a large crowd. This should be a great atmosphere, I can't wait.
