    Maybe not crazy, but I see yall making the 3rd round this year as well.  If the cards and bracket fall right maybe 4th rd.

    You'd have to think LV and Lancaster finish 1 & 2 in their district (in some order). That means they go on opposite sides of the bracket in R2. PAM most likely will have to face one of them in the 3rd round assuming PAM wins district again. Both of those teams are going to be very tough to beat this coming season. Long story short, I think you were right with the 3rd round prediction. 

  2. It would just be interesting to hear from those coaches and pick their brains. See how long in advance coaches set up games and hear stories about games that almost got put together but didn't. Aledo for example had an agreement with South Oak Cliff but our district had 9 teams so we dropped that game. This season it would've been defending 5AD1 vs 5AD2 champs. That would have been a top game around the state.

    I think all four will rebound but I think DR has the talent to be unstoppable most years. 

    Lets hope not lol. At least for another season. I found a stat that it was the first time since '07 that Ryan had not been to the 2nd round of the playoffs.

    Hey folks. Just wanting to gauge interest in possibly starting up a HS football podcast for our area. I already listen to a few podcasts from LSG like 59N and Grant/Terry’s two shows. They cover our area somewhat, but it’s usually a part of a bigger area or the entire state. 
     

    Bare minimum, the proposed podcast would run maybe 20-30 minutes and cover SETX teams week to week. Final scores, standings, and other bits of information along the way.
     

    If we’re really getting after it, there’d be some extra stats, short interviews with coaches and some of the broadcasters in the SETX Sports group, and some highlights around the state. We could even expand into some of the other sports as the year goes on.

    Again, just trying to gauge interest. Personally, I think it’d be good for not only our  contingent on here in the forums, but folks in the area that want to keep up with our local teams.

    Feedback appreciated!

     

     

    If you have coach interviews, especially early in the year, can you ask them their criteria for picking non-district opponents? I'd be interesting to hear how each one goes about picking opponents.

    That's a good one. If a team just stopped making the playoffs that stat would be frozen though. 

    Wonder who tops that all time list? I started with the list of most championships (min 4)


    Playoff Win %    Championships - School
    0.8158      6 - LAKE TRAVIS
    0.8113      9 - KATY
     

    Whats cool is that no matter what way you slice the pie, you are always chasing someone else. Most total wins, most championships, highest percentage, longest playoff streak, ect, ect, ect.... Someone is always better than you. 

  6. Personally, I think playoff win percentage is a great stat. See who wins when everything is all on the line! Here is the playoff win percentage for each of the top 10 teams on the all-time win percentage list. 

    1. West Orange Stark 71.3%

    2. Southlake Carroll 79.6%

    3. Austin Westlake 74.3%

    4. Highland Park 64.8%

    5. Odessa Permian 71.3%

    6. Euless Trinity 66.9%

    7. Refugio 73.7%

    8. Houston Yates 50%

    9. Dallas Carter 51.7%

    10. Converse Judson 72.7%

    I've seen this posted here too. Now after the past 3 seasons, I think we still belong on the list of 25. But would you still have us in the top 5?

    We just had our 2nd sub .500 season. We're getting closer to that 50 year mark which will be in 2026. By then we should have another set of back to backs. And be moving up the list.

    I know it sounds crazy right.

    Hooks took 6 years to win his 1st of 2

    Cornel, 5 years for the same thing.

    Our new elite coach will win in only 4 years, 2025. And go back to back in 26. But I predict another in 27. Making him the first coach to win 3 here.

    Thats a good question. Probably would have to take another look at all that info and reassess everything. Of the top of my head WOS might not make top 5 again. But like I said I'd have to look at all the numbers. 

  8. This was my post from 01/27/20 on the 6A board. 

    "Below are my top 25 programs of all time, now I just need to narrow it down to the top 5.

     

    Katy, SLC, Highland Park, Lake Travis, Aledo, Mart, Carthage, Abilene, Daingerfield, Ennis, Brownwood, Refugio, Permian, Longview, Austin Westlake, WOS, Celina, Canadian, Allen, Judson, Newton, Plano, Stamford, Cameron Yoe and Bremond.

     

    You mention "continued success throughout the programs entire history" so that is something I will take into account.

    Final answer:

    #5 West Orange-Stark- I was hesitant to put this team on my list because I wanted to only have teams that have played 50+ years. Anything less than that I dont feel would be enough of a sample size to really gauge the program. Having said all of that its hard to argue with their success. They are 416-100-3 all time with 4 state titles. They won back to back two different times, '86-'87 and '15-'16. Since they began playing football in 1977 they have only 1 season under .500! Hard to keep them off my list with those numbers.

    #4 Mart- They had a rough start from 1912-1928 but after that Mart has been pretty good. They have an overall record of 776-356-43 with 8 state titles. Strictly speaking about the playoffs Mart is 119-38-2. In the last 21 years Mart has won 6 of their 8 titles. Even without the wins of late they really dont have a terrible record year to year.

    #3 Odessa Permian- One of the teams on my Mount Rushmore checks in at number 3. It seems like they were off to winning a title in each decade since their program started but they have been average as of late. Permian is 541-173-13 overall with 6 state titles. They have a title in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Since 1999 Permian has been average to slighty above. If they won a title in the 2000's then they would be higher on my list.

    #2 Southlake Carroll- Another of the teams I had on my Mount Rushmore makes an appearance in my top 5 programs. Carroll has an all time record of 545-153-8 with a ridiculous playoff record of 111-28-1. Their 8 state titles have come over an impressive span from 1988-2011. Southlake comes in at #2 all time in win percentage with a minimum of 500 games played.

    #1 Highland Park- As a program they are the most impressive to me. Overall record is 843-259-27. They have 6 titles overall with 3 coming 2016-2018. If you look at their record each year they never really have a dip in success. From 1960 to 1975 I would say is the roughest time for them but they still were over .500 in 10 of the 16 seasons. Maybe they have a rough couple seasons but they always bounce back and win 9 or 10 games. Each decade since the 1920's they have winning teams and have never gone 0-10."

    Why is it, then, that only certain coaches have these multiple factors and this luck and timing?  With these coaches at Aledo and Carthage, how many Titles have they won?  I can maybe understanding 1 or 2 years of luck but these guys doing it for this long?!   The ones I really feel sorry for are the coaches that came before them.  ESPECIALLY the ones that actually preceded them taking over.  If they would have just stayed a few more years then they could have had all this luck.  Is this what you are sorta telling us?

    Idk about Carthage but just from my experience with Aledo, I agree with bigdog part of it is luck. Staying healthy, being in Region 1, good teams have a down year (Denton Ryan), a couple of plays go your way (Longview). Having said all that Aledo has a great coaching staff, kids that work extremely hard, parents that allow their kids to be coached hard, community support, excellent culture of competition, families that move in to the Fort Worth area but decide to put their kid in Aledo, great athletic facilities, a history of making deep playoff runs, and expectation.

    I need to check to see how many Nike and Jordan Brand teams won ships this past weekend compared to other brands. It's always interesting. I remember one year just a few years back Adidas teams won multiple. 

    Interesting thought- here is what Aledo wore since '09 when we have won state. Personally I like the Nike gear the best. 

    '09- Nike

    '10- Nike

    '11- Nike

    '13- Adidas

    '14- Adidas

    '16- Nike

    '18-Under Armour

    '19- Under Armour

    '20- Under Armour

    '22- Under Armour

     

    *2017 we wore Nike when we lost state by 1 point.
