District 9-5A D1 Thread 2026/2027

[OlDawg]

Playoff Scenarios (Assuming GCM & BWB beat GB):

IF BU beats RSS:

• GCM +11
• BU +7
• BWB -3
• Lufkin -15

GCM & BU would advance as #3 & 4 respectively. PO seeds would be La Porte, PAM, GCM & BU in that order. La Porte & PAM with home field in Bi-District.

IF RSS beats BU:

• Lufkin +21
• GCM +7
• BWB +1
• RSS -29

Lufkin & GCM would advance as #3 & 4 respectively. PO seeds would be La Porte, PAM, Lufkin & GCM in that order. La Porte & PAM with home field in Bi-District.

***Interesting sidenote - In the summer, I predicted a PO breakdown of La Porte, PAM, GCM/Lufkin with GCM and Lufkin a toss-up for the 3 & 4 seeds...

• BWB vs GCM -7, RSS +18, BU +14, Lufkin -10
• GCM vs BWB +7, RSS -7, BU -3, Lufkin +7
• Lufkin vs GCM -7, RSS +18, BU -18, BWB +10
• BU vs GCM +3, BWB -14, Lufkin +18, RSS ?
• RSS vs GCM +7, BWB -18, Lufkin -18, BU ?

I'd have to run a scenario where Lufkin beats LP, and it becomes only a 3-way tie. But--off the top of my head--since Lufkin would automatically become the 3 seed, I think GCM would grab 4. Let me check...

LP & PAM are locked into #1 & 2 regardless of anything else that happens. So, we're only looking at 3 & 4 seeds.

BWB could make the PO's in a 3-way tie. They would need Lufkin to beat LP, or GCM to lose to GB. They would then be the #4 seed, assuming they beat GB. They won't get in with a 4-way scenario.

BWB HAS to have Lufkin beat LP. Lufkin only needs RSS to beat BU. But, Lufkin is assured of the #3 seed with a win over LP.

Lufkin will know if they HAVE to beat LP or not before they ever make the drive down to Bulldog since RSS hosts BU on Thursday.

It's at Stallworth, and the Rangers have had an extra week to prepare...

Just have to give a few kudos as a homer.

La Porte has now won their 4th straight District Championship (8-5AD1 in 2023, 11-5AD1 in 2024 & 2025, and 9-5AD1 in 2026). They’ve won 24 district games in a row with one district game left this year. Their last district loss was October 6 of 2023 when PAM came from behind to beat them in Port Arthur 38-27. In district play in the last 4 years, they are 28-1.

if Lufkin beats LaPorte Fri, West Brook will be in as long as they beat Ball

Lufkin wins and Sterling wins

GCM is 0

WB is +11 PLAYOFFS

Sterling is -11

 

if Lufkin and United wins

WB is +7 PLAYOFFS

GCM is +4

United is -11

Yep. BWB fate is up to the team they just lost to…

Ironic.

[OlDawg]

Right now, GCM, Lufkin, BU, and BWB ALL still have a chance to make the PO's. It depends on if it's a 3-way, or 4-way tie. Lufkin and BWB are in as the #3 & 4 seed with a Lufkin win over LP. If Lufkin loses to LP, GCM is in the catbird seat if it's a 4-way tie as they can get in with either a BU or RSS win.

With GCM being done with district play, they just have to wait and watch.

Lufkin and GCM have 2 ways to get in. BU and BWB only have 1 way to get in. RSS, NC, & GB are eliminated.

I don't know how LP will play the game vs Lufkin. I assume the staff would love to rest some players for the PO's. But, I also know they don't want to lose their undefeated district win streak, or share a district title. I'd also imagine they want to go into the PO's on an upswing firing on all cylinders.

On an individual player note, Simon can probably eclipse 2,000 yards and 25 TD’s again in 2 games at the pace he’s on. I’d think that would be something all would like to see happen. It would set him up to possibly eclipse 8,000 career rushing yards next year.

Plus, I believe LP is on pace for a school scoring record in a season. Pretty sure that’s something they’d like to attain as a team.

Looking back at the thread from the beginning is funny 😄 🤣

It does make for an exciting final week. Plus, it keeps almost every team still having to play their best right to the end.

Of course, the majority of this district has been nothing if not inconsistent. A lot of talent. A lot of youth.

Rooting for Killeen to win this week in District 12, go take a look at what happens for 4th place if they win 😁🍿
