I believe the region overall is down too, so that definitely helps OF’s chances for a deep run

That and two of the better teams in Region III will be D2. Onalaska and Palestine Westwood.

Is OF the regional favorite in the DI ?

Think they are the highest ranked team. Which doesn’t mean a lot once you get into playoffs I realize, but I think on paper they would be the favorites

I’m assuming Onalaska would go small school?

They should along with Westwood

This is almost assuredly the most talented team Orangefield has had, led by easily the best player I’ve seen in the 30 years I’ve followed them.  Also very happy for a guy who has been one of the best coaches in SETX for years in Whitmire.  The one thing that worries me for the playoffs is not having really been challenged since district began (other than at EC sort of).  Hoping their depth and experience at the varsity level more than makes up with something they had no control over.

I agree. Really haven't been challenged since December.

But there is another thing that concerns me with this Orangefield team and what could derail them. It's some of the players attitudes and behaviors on the court (and in some cases off the court). A few of the players have had to miss games or half games due to discipline being it on or off the court incidents. That has to get better.

In the playoffs, that can be a deciding factor if a player or two is ejected or has to miss a game or half a game. That cannot happen.

I will say it's better than the season before when OF led the area in technical fouls (that info came from the local officiating chapter).

This team has the talent and ability to make it to SA as long as they don't get in their own way.

You aren’t the first person that I’ve heard this from.

They will most definitely be D2 this year.

Not arguing that was just referencing where they went last year. I imagine other teams making/missing playoffs this year change things

Was very strange fluke year for us going d1 last year. We were smallest 3A d1 in state by a lot. This year something crazy these last 4 games will have to change for us to not go d2 as 2 of these 3 would have to miss playoffs: trinity, Crockett, Coldspring. 
 

Orangefield should be the favorite in the region for d1. I think very highly of their coaching staff and players. Dream matchup fun game to see would be orangefield vs Trinity in the playoffs as fan to me. Would likely have to be 4th round though I think.
