Lufkin knocked off Killeen, North Shore, Klein Oak and Grand Oaks to win the Grand Oaks Tourney. The Panthers are 7-1, will open district against Whitehouse on Tuesday, then head to Utah to play in the Lehi Holiday Hoopfest against Corners Canyon and Timpview Utah schools. Lufkin's only loss this year is to #16 in the nation Owasso, OK.

PAM looking much better now.

Did PAM even game plan this week? PAM defense looking average and porous in the secondary.

Then again you guys didn't even skate by Sterling at all did you? No matter. I get where your coming from, I'm not blind to Lufkin's inefficiencies during the season. Think everyone in 9-5A DI has their work cut out for them this week.

It's funny that Massey pick's this way since Barbers Hill and Lufkin finished with the same record of 7-3 and 4-2 in district, and both took a beat down loss to PAM. Lufkin defeated the #2 team Westbury from 10-5A on the road, while took down #3 Waltrip at The Hill. Regardless that Barbers Hill beat Lufkin at their place, while BH lost to Sterling who didn't even make the playoffs. Both schools could probably debate those loses as some sort of strange occurrence at the time, however both lost big at home to PAM. Just the way I think, because Lufkin is not the same team that rolled in BH that first district game, they were then still learning totally new systems on both sides of the ball. Then again matchups are everything in the playoffs. Still believe PAM is the top dog as long as everyone is healthy. A split or even a sweep either way would not surprise me in this round of the playoffs.

Lufkin won 42-14 @ Nacogdoches 2nd game of the year in non-district, then the Dragons went on to be 6-1 before they were beat in district. They are a young team that has some raw talent. No match at all for PNG in the first round, then again it's the first time NAC has made the playoffs since 2021 and they were picked in pre-season to finish 6th in a very tough district. So there are two positives for their program before this game is even played. Baby step for them trying to build something.

Then NO on the HISD, we would not accept that placing. I'd rather go back Region II before that happens. On another note, thought everyone had until Nov 7th to turn in their enrollment? Barbers Hill is still not posted. They are not the only ones that are not listed by DCTF list.

If you mean Houston ISD, NO NO NO. If you mean Humble ISD then Okay.

Unfortunate for West Brook on such a promising season to start the year. I really thought they would have a great opportunity to finish 2nd in district this year. They were never the same after the OT loss to Lufkin. That was a tough game for both schools that night, a game either team could have easily won.

SFA Eagles in 1993?? My memory is getting vague going too far back. LOL

Not sure.

Take it from someone who has seen a ton of playoff football, anyone can be a roadblock in the playoffs. Have experienced it and seen it, one game at a time is good advice. Play who is in front of you, then let some of the other guys knock each other off. One thing you learn, you can't choose who you play.

Read on DCTF [Hidden Content] Current 5A DI possibly moving to 6A: Baytown Sterling, LaPorte, Angleton, Austin Anderson, College Station Current 5A DII possibly moving to 5A DI: Richmond Randle, Iowa Colony That would change the landscape of 5A DI Region III, IF that happens.
