Quick question: does he have Port Arthur Memorial in Region 2 or 3? 

Was mainly looking at 4A and 3A though I did glance at them all. I was in a hurry and did not study them long. I did not note Regions in 5AD1. If we dont hear any news by Monday, I will check again.

What does he have for 4A D1?

About the same except HJ back down. I was in a hurry when I looked through it. 

Saw all the Padilla predictions today. No surprises in 4A-D2. BH get ready to pack a lunch if Padilla is correct.

Another outdated "Slot T" team in the State Championship. A few hundred "modern offense" teams can watch them next week.

I would bet my bank account on Carthage +3

Absolute insanity. Carthage is an overwhelming favorite against everyone

It sucks. Region 2, smdh. Imma need Stepp to correct his mock a bit. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Not sure about this. I have been told New Caney ISD intends to keep all their schools together and will have them opt up if they land outside the cut.

It’s not a good insult to say “BC took the easy way out by opting up to whip our tails and go three rounds.”

Very obvious why each of the three schools "opt up" and it is common knowledge that they are fleeing for an easier pathway. They acknowledge it openly and it makes a mockery of the process. 

I think that all of 9-4A DII should "opt up". Would give us a chance to have a 4A State Champion and cross out the teams who opt up for no reason other than they are scared. Opting up would get our schools away from Carthage in the State Championship. 

Hopefully UIL will crack down on the "opt up" scam.

They are currently not doing the same thing they have been doing since they arrived,this is my last post about coaching…good day sir

Why even make this "last post about coaching"? Hopefully you will enjoy the product that has been built at WOS.

Like a light switch when the playoffs hit,they have been great especially second half adjustments.

Yep, they are currently doing the same thing they have been doing since they arrived. Great coaching with the resources available. They are the ones who fully know all details about the ability, work ethic and character of all players. 

Congrats to WOS coaching staff. One of the best staffs in the Region at planning, adjusting, and properly utilizing their players.

Man Shelby county is hard on coaches at least in Tenaha and center

Shelby County or Center ISD had nothing to do with this situation

Anyone heard any updates/predictions?

Should start seeing some mock alignments next week 

Hoping for a WOS win in the rematch with LV. Congratulations to HH and the coaching staff and the job they have done this year (particularly drowning out the noise and sticking to what they know). They are yielding similar results as all the great coaches who came before them at WOS. 

A win against LV would put them in what I believe would be a favorite to make it to AT&T.

You're a little confused. I don't know a single person that lives in Kilgore. I'm happy that BC is finally playing someone that's gonna smack them around. Their fans (on here at least which is probably not a great sample size) have been fairly obnoxious and quick to make excuses (see LCM thread), while simultaneously not acknowledging the only reason they beat Huffman by 1 point was because their starting QB didn't play. So yeah not a Kilgore fan I just know what's gonna happen today.

Ok

They share 2 common opponents. BC LOST to LCM. Kilgore literally kicked LCM's a$$. And if you're calling 28-7 competitive I'll just check out now because we aren't starting from a place I can debate. I'll check back after the game.

OK. I understand that you are excited. These are happy times at Kilgore and you dont want anyone to think that Kilgore can have someone play them competitively. 

19 minutes ago, PolkHighLegend said:

If I get your point (and I think I do) no one should be confusing BC as a team that requires an opponent as good as Carthage just to obliterate them. They are a slightly  above average team at best and they are about to play a great team. This will not end well for them.

Calling BC “slightly above average” is silly as there no “slightly above average” teams in the 3rd round. 
 

BC and Kilgore share a single common opponent which they both beat in competitive games. No need to act like Kilgore is some perennial juggernaut that cannot lose.

I wouldn't miss this game for anything. Looking forward to sitting on the Bridge City and watching people's reactions and listening to their excuses. Kilgore is going to OBLITERATE BC. I'm betting they don't score. I would honestly feel comfortable giving up 42 points. 

No one should be confusing Kilgore with "Carthage".

Not saying Hitchcock did , I’m saying the atmosphere the grit the effort, they had to dig deep and that alone in itself shows them that difficulties and regrouping day in and day out are ahead, Yoakum is not much better than Hitchcock on paper. Beat Hitchcock by 4 points  Hitchcock was up 14-10 at half and 20-16 going into the 4th. Yoakum pulled away in the 4th out scoring them 14-6. 
 

 

 

halletsville 35-7 Hitchcock 49-27 Yoakum 

Losses Columbus 26-7 Hitchcock 28-10 Yoakum

Wins Hempstead 35-0 Hitchcock 48-13 Yoakum  

 

Point differential 

Hitchcock +103-63 = 40

Yoakum +137-94= 43

Pretty close
 

 

Yoakum is a better team than Hitchcock. Still think Hardin can win.

Hardin learns from there mistakes, what Hardin has to understand is that they will be facing premium football programs going forward that will have an answer for the double tight wing t.

 

keep your identity mix and master outside runs , be pass ready to make them respect you and back a couple guys off of you, and they will be hard to stop. Because the moment one isn’t prepared the Hardin line will devour any of these defensive fronts. 
 

I think the game against Hitchcock prepared them to dominate Yoakum. I think they are a reflection of each others. With a better running game but obviously from the close call earlier in the season they aren’t much better on paper. I think Hardin improves as the clock ticks. 
 

30-22Hardin 

Hitchcock did not "prepare them to dominate Yoakum". Yoakum is a better team than Hitchcock. 

***Hardin is still plenty capable of winning.
