state chances for setx

[Guest tigersvoice]

I hear your UUUMMM, Coop.  Who do you think might make it to the STATE FINALS, and I'm not talking Private Schools?

[KFDM COOP]

Remember Defense wins Championships. I think Nederland has a shot in 4A. In 3A WOS certainly has a shot. They are getting better each week, especially on defense. Get past Giddings and they have a shot.

[Guest tigersvoice]

But, when did they get by Giddings?

[WOS92]

Got beat last year and beat Giddings the year before.

why exclude the private schools?  they play ball... ???  

[Guest tigersvoice]

I didn't mean anything deragatory, I just don't follow Kelly that closely.  For all I know, they may be State Champions this year.

[mustang85]

I think we have a chance to win it every year, hopefully this year we can overcome the bad pl_yc_ll_ng.

I played at Eagle Lake before most of you were born.  We were in a District with Giddings, along with Smithville, Bastrop, Luling, Halletsville, and Weimer.  Giddings beat our heads in EVERY YEAR.  When I was a Freshman, they beat us something like 55 - 6 at our place and were State Champions.  I've had my fill of Giddings.  In four years of high school football in the 50's we never beat them.  Damn those Buffaloes as far as I'm concerned -but yet, you still have to get past them!!  This was all Class A ball.  Those were great years.  Here's a story from an old player -

in my day school started the Tuesday after Labor Day (and I'm sure that many of you had the same schedule) but we had a game at Cypress-Fairbanks the Friday before school started.  So, I played in my first high school game before I was officially in high school.  Cypress-Fairbanks was a Class A school back then sitting out on the prairie - you could see those stadium lights for  40 miles away.  We ended in a 7 - 7 tie that night.  Cypress-Fairbanks has, what?  5 five A schools in their district now?  I've lost count - but Eagle Lake no longer exists.  No, the district has been consolidated into the Rice Consolidated School District which is 2 A, I think.  Heck, with the advent of the 5 A rankings, Eagle Lake would have been 2 A on it's own.  Nostalgia - it's good for the soul!!

I forgot, IF they can get by our Liberty Panthers in the first round    ;D   ;D   ;D

THEY SURE STRUGGLED LAST YEAR IN THIS ONE......

[Gasilla]

But, when did they get by Giddings?

We are 1-1 with Giddings. We smoked them in 05 42-21 and lost last year 21-13 in a game where we could have played better. Giddings may have that mystique with you and their little neck of the woods, but it will take more than that for them to bring down the Stangs again.

Again, the post was about who has the best chance to win, not who WILL win. I think WOS probably has the best chance of any school in the area simply because our defense is playing so well.

[shorttexas1]

we didn't play the tyler schools two in a row. tyler lee played some out of state team. sorry i count all victories. had we lost to ray and fb,you would have counted them. 6-7.

Oops, brain fort...  Hou. Memorial and Nimitz

[shorttexas1]

it's one thing to play a weak school,but then to brag about it and try and make it seem like that school is legit is down right wrong. that's why i trash other "schools". not only that,but we had to play fb because and cc ray.why??? BECAUSE MC AND BMT STRAIGHT UP DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY US!!! why would the district want to spend money on hotels,charter buses,and kids missing 2 days worth of school??? for the fun of it??? some "schools" have/had a choice to play a school much closer and better and they wimp out.

i'm only honering a bet i made if nederland had beaten central.

I wanted to play you guys and I knew you guys were stronger...  But that iis besides the point.... The thread is what team from this area this year can make state...  Memorial is not even in the picture... lol

[TradinUp BH]

Sorry to be the "Ney" sayer this year, but there are NO (Nada,

Nil, Zip, Zero) teams from Southeast Texas this year that will make it to the finals in any class.  The strength is just not there.

I agree, nobody will get to the final game from this area. Too strong of teams to get there.

[KFDM COOP]

I disagree!

[patitan]

THERE ARE NO TEAMS IN THIS AREA!!! brook will go the 4th rd. 22-4a will be done in about 2rds. 3 at best. same as 3a.

[Guest car ramrod]

Newton has the best shot from the local schools.  WO-S has Giddings and LH in the way.

[KFDM COOP]

THERE ARE NO TEAMS IN THIS AREA!!! brook will go the 4th rd. 22-4a will be done in about 2rds. 3 at best. same as 3a.

We'll see.

[Guest doubles_gun]

I dont think anyone has a legitmate chance to Win the State Championship this year from the area. I think a lot of teams have the potential to make a great post season run.

Teams to look for

5A - WB

4A - Nederland

3A- W-O-S 

2A- Newton

[CATMAN]

Hate 2 say this-------------none--------------none--------- : : : :

[KFDM COOP]

Hey CATMAN, go back to the Basketball forum. ;D

[patitan]

look at the triangle. now i know rankings don't mean ANYTHING,but look at 22-4a. they have one team at #11. over here in galvston co. we have three ranked teams in the same district...two in the top 10. the triangle is far from reaching a state title game.

the brook is the front runner only because: they will win 21-5a,therefore facing scrub teams in the first couple of rds. the will barly get out of rd. 3 and ow ou rd.4. that's far better than ANY team in the triangle. PAM will bow out rd 2. Nederland rd 2,3 at the most.Dayton 3 rds.central/lumberton 2rd's maybe the first.

[westend1]

I kinda hope you are right, Patitan.  I would love to see WB go 4 deep.

[NedDog]

ummm....nederland don't play contenders in the beginning. i take you back to the 2002-2005 PAM schedule!!! we played powerhouses and ranked teams.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ned's non-district schedule include  La Marque, Texas City, & Friendswood at various points during this time frame?  

[patitan]

texas city wasn't/isn't a powerhouse.last year and 97 and 99 was the best years for them in recent past. friendswood was just a gutsy team at that time.

[Guest ST4life]

We'll see.

we'll see WOS lose. They will go just as far as Silsbee just like last year. 8)

WOS will not win state they will go 2 deep that is it and Silsbee will go 2 deep

next year Silsbee wins district with all of the young guns comming back

sorry coop ;D
