Pasadena I am being told will let PHS drop this time

Everything is shifting because El Paso lost a district....the state is a big puzzle...if El Paso still had their own district I think District 8 would be in Region III, but everything has shifted with one less district to work with....District 11 makes more sense to be paired with District 12 for me.... yes Lufkin has been w/College Station and A&M Consolidated before but A&M and C-State are shifted west to fill out two Austin districts...there was only one true Austin district last time now there's two with Anderson/Weiss moving down to D1 and Rouse moving up to D1...Lehman and Hays shift north out of north San Antonio back to Austin due to movement down there... The extra Austin district comes from El Paso losing a district...lots of moving parts..you absolutely could put district 11 into Region II and move district 8 to Region III, but since this is my mock realignment and I'm going off what I believe the UIL will do this is what I think will happen...

Never got a number all I was told was solid 6A

DeSoto is likely not opting up....Padilla and I both believe they will play in 5A (which is where I have them)....district 11 in my mock makes a better bi-district fit in Region III with the other Austin area district IMO

Few do

Huntsville generally draws well this late in the playoffs right?

I believe that game used the stadium camera feed...so that's an individual stadium deal with their cameras

Before the playoffs I absolutely had Silsbee winning Region III, but after the first two rounds of the playoffs I saw the writing on the wall and in my picks this week I personally picked Bellville..they are just playing too well at the moment

this is about to get ugly

I don't think it's a stupid rule...the rule says if you get ejected in the 2nd half you gotta sit the first half of the next game...doesn't matter if that next game is eight months away lol

I know at least one of the players ejected is an underclassman....I am pretty sure they'll have to sit out at least a half of the first game next year

I wonder if they over-charge?? It seems like a very nice venue

A lot of colleges aren't available to host Thanksgiving weekend because they rely heavily on students as workers and many go home for the holiday. SMU, UMHB, A&M Commerce, Texas State, Tarleton, Abilene Christian have all hosted games thus far

I mean at the time of the post it was quite accurate

Before Week 11 I woulda taken Silsbee....I'm picking Bellville this week they are just on a different planet at the moment

I spoke to soon lol wow

Are the banged up players for Silsbee playing?

Swing and a miss!! Barbers Hill is ROLLING!!

I'm just not totally sold on Forney....

I think Richland vs Forney is a pick em game

I've only seen one game online and I was impressed...very dynamic offense....I think the defense and lack of team speed on that side is a concern and Richland is good enough to expose it...I kinda think it'll be a high-scoring game with a slight lean to Richland just because of how DFW vs Houston the past few years mostly goes (I usually do the same thing when an Austin team plays a San Antonio team lol)....but its hard to get a read on this game because of lack of common opponents/history etc

if the key players for Silsbee are 50/50 type deals I suit em up but only play them in absolute emergency...Silsbee should IMO be able to handle Gatesville with the MASH unit they had at the end of last week's game as I dont believe Gatesville is quite as good as Sealy

#1 isnt a bad back, when he needs to flip the switch he can as evidenced by his perfomance against Timberview when he had to get tough yards...Richland has IMO the top interior OL prospect in the state in Daniel Cruz who is committed to TX...they'll use him in key moments at DT as well...

Forney's defense is pretty dominant early

I don't know with 100% certainty why H-J and Liberty are considering opting up, but I know what the optics of it are It's a loophole in the UIL Realignment policies and these two would not be the first to "utilize" it. But this I think is going to cause the UIL to put some guardrails around opting up in future alignments
