Yeah, Wall was the other team I was thinking about instead of Malakoff

Predict every state championship game from 2A-6A before the playoffs get started. I'm interested to see what everyone thinks. My predictions are below. 2A D1- Refugio over San Saba 2A D2- Stratford over Mart 3A D1- Diboll over Malakoff 3A D2- Canadian over East Bernard 4A D1- Carthage over Waco La Vega 4A D2- Pleasant Grove over WOS 5A D1- Shadow Creek over Lufkin 5A D2- Aledo over A&M Consolidated 6A D1- North Shore over Duncanville 6A D2- Longview over Austin Westlake

1. Atascocita 2. Galena Park North Shore 3. Beaumont West Brook 4. Shadow Creek 5. Friendswood 6. New Caney 7. A&M Consolidated 8. Barbers Hill 9. Crosby 10. Fort Bend Marshall 11. Lamar Consolidated 12. Marshall/Huntsville 13. Katy Paetow 14. Navasota 15. Stafford 16. Hamshire-Fannett 17. Silsbee 18. Daingerfield 19. Omaha Paul Pewitt 20. San Augustine 21. Dawson 22. Milford 23. Trinidad 24. Humble 25. Elysian Fields

Lufkin is 5A Division 1

North Shore, West Brook, WOS, Jasper, Newton, Diboll, San Augustine

FB Marshall is too quick for the Indians. The buffs should cruise in this one

#1 Grandview lost tonight. Diboll has two quality wins now over two good teams in Jasper and Franklin. Does the Grandview loss now make Diboll the overall favorite to win the region.

I agree. Losing on purpose should never have to come into the equation, but I'm pretty sure high school players would rather make it to state rather than getting knocked out in the first round. I wish the UIL would change how 6A does it to prevent this from happening.

When WB is several rounds deep in D2 playoffs. WB fans will be glad they lost this game. WB can't survive in Division 1, everyone knows that. If they lost on purpose they played it safe to give themselves the best opportunity to make a deep run in the playoffs. Once again, 2 weeks from now this loss means nothing to WB fans.

Some people are saying they lost on purpose and one person said the starters played and just loss. Which one is it?

Grandview is the only team standing in their way in my opinion. EC almost knocked them off next year so they're not unbeatable.

Calpreps projected Jasper beating WOS by 3. Not sure how accurate that is but they also projected Diboll beating Jasper by 6 so.

1st sentence: Jasper lost to a "unranked 3A team"....its called pre season rankings. Diboll couldn't get their ranking up to what they are now in the first 3 weeks of the season. 2nd sentence: "You guys have a good team and should go several rounds in the 3A playoffs, IMO" I'm a little confused on your opinion on Diboll. Second, say Jasper plays and beats WOS in week 6, are they still not good because they lost to a now 8-0 "unranked 3A team at the time" #5 Diboll???

The way the brackets line up that's when each of those three teams will play each other. But when one of those three teams makes it to the state quarterfinals like I believe one of them will because I don't see anyone else in region 3 beating them than they will play a team like Navarro that could knock them out.

Here is the evidence. I remember seeing this last year. Smart play by Temple even though they lost in the first round anyways. [Hidden Content]

The only time Silsbee, Jasper, and WOS are getting beat is when they play each other. Round 3 will be Jasper/WOS and the winner will play Silsbee in round 4.

Diboll is legit. Undefeated so far this year. Their defense has given up 33 points all year. That's 4.125 points per game their defense is giving up. Jasper lost one game to a really good team. Other than that Jasper has been dominant in every other game.

Jasper, WOS, and SIlsbee should be the favorites out of this region. The winner of Region 3 should play Navarro out of Region 4 to see who makes it to state.

First off, WOS will not get beat in the second round of the playoffs. If WOS gets past Jasper in round 3 I believe they make it back to the State Championship. PG doesn't throw the ball a lot, therefore WOS won't have to rely as much on their secondary if they face them down the road. They will have to score points though which seems to be a problem for them right now.

WOS will win this game but I'm still not too sure along with a lot of people on how good WOS really is. They battled with Newton and Silsbee but I really wish they would've played Jasper and Crosby to see where this WOS team is at.

I just went with the ranking that has North Shore as the better team. Because they clearly are better than WB

Predictions?? North Shore by 2-3 touchdowns
