At this point, I don’t know a lot about this district, but I’ll take a stab on how I think the top 4 will look.  

 

1. La Porte

2. Beaumont United

3. Lufkin

4. Port Arthur

 

I think BU finally beats PA this year. 

Wanna revisit this or no?? ☕

OlDawg's Final District Standings & PO Projections:

(These are based on my personal game outcomes, and there are a couple key games that could shake things up quite a bit.)

1. LP 8-0
2. PAM 7-1
3. BWB 5-3
4. BU 4-4
5. Lufkin 4-4
6. RSS 3-5
7. GCM 3-5
8. NC 2-6
9. GB 0-8

Key Games from my perspective: Lufkin @ GCM, BWB @ Lufkin, RSS @ BU. Since Lufkin is the exact middle, their next 2 games are key to two PO spots.

As guesses right now to base the standings on, I have:

• LP, PAM & BWB winning out.
• BU win vs RSS. Losses vs LP & PAM.
• Lufkin win vs GCM. Losses vs BWB & LP.
• RSS losses vs PAM & BU
• GCM win vs GB. Losses vs Lufkin.
• NC loses out.
• GB loses out.

***The BIG one!

 

 

It would be hilarious if BU misses the playoffs but Lufkin makes it. 😁 I wouldn't mind that happening now that I think about it, long as it doesn't involve Port Arthur Memorial losing again.

Lufkin's big loss to BU really left them in a bad position. They can make up for it--without having to worry about their final game against LP--if they can find a way to beat BWB by 18 or more. They also have to hope BU loses to LP & PAM.

Obviously, no wins are guaranteed for anyone.

Getting a first round game at home isn't going to make much of a difference. 11-5A & 12-5A are still too much in the air to really project Area matchups/easier paths. But, no path in Region 3 is going to be 'easy'. Then, SV is just steamrolling folks.

I have SV 3-peating. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I think their D can shut Randle down. They would have a tougher time with a team like LP that has multiple D1's to defend, and can run or pass effectively with either. LP's D is getting back into shape now that most of the young men are returning to their positions, and other tweaks have been made.

Long way to go though.
