Last night's games. SMH

[AggiesAreWe]

Looking at scores from across the state but even just our coverage area, there were way too many blowouts in these first rounds. 

Of our 9 coverage area games last night, only one was competitive. (#3 seed Palestine Westwood beat #2 Anahuac 41-27).

All the other games were complete blowouts. (well maybe not SA/UG as it was 33-7 but SA led the whole game and UG only scored with a minute left in game)

6 of the 9 games teams scored 60+. 4 scored 70+. The average margin of victory in the 9 games was 50 points. Take out the Anahuac/WW game and it's 54 points.

Six of the nine games last night were #1 vs. #4. (technically the DP/NS game wasn't but NS is the #1 DI seed). All of those games were not competitive. Those scores: 62-14, 70-0, 70-0, 33-7, 75-14, 68-19. 

My point (and one that I have had all along) is the playoffs are too watered down. I never liked a 4th team being added to playoffs. Particularly when that 4th team comes from a district with just 4, 5, or 6 teams. I just don't think as a whole, you get a quality team going that far down in a district. 

Yes I know there are outliers. (have been some 4 seeds make it deep in playoffs) But the vast majority get their butt whipped (like last night) in the 1st round.

Call me old school, but I liked it when it was just 2 teams.

Rant over.

Glad I watched EP Pebble Hills vs Midland Lee. 😁

[CS.]

I agree with you.

I was just thinking the same thing.  Brock won 77 - 7.  This was not a run up the score game.  Brock had 8 possessions on offense. 6 of the 8 were one play drives for TD. One 5 play drive td  in first half and 7 play drive for td in second half.  Returned two punts and one interception for TDs. Clock only stopped in second half for the change of quarter. 63 points on 10 offensive plays in the first half.

That game got comical, I stopped watching after the 4th TD in the 1st quarter.

That Canadian vs Muleshoe game was fun in the 1st half for one team 😂
