There weren't many big changes this week. As of next week, the six team districts start their "friendly" competition to see who makes the playoffs.

As far as the defending champs are concerned...

Trinity continues to be pushed towards Division 1 thanks to Dallas Jesuit starting well in district play. I'd rate Trinity's D1 chances at about 80-90 percent.

However, Carroll's D1-D2 chances are even at 50/50 thanks to Haltom's loss and Grapevine's rebound. We won't know about the Dragons until the last week in my opinion. That district is a mess.

How can this projection be made when there has been only one or two district games played and none by others?

I believe by week 8 things will shape up quite different.

True, it's all in fun, I just don't have that much spare time to think about it. The football season is too short anyway. All the teams will finally be on the downhill side to the playoffs starting this week.

I kind of like Summit's chances to reach the Region Semi's and get another shot at SGP in that stack - although, as usual, it is hard to know how good the Lubbock or El Paso schools are since they seem to mostly play each other.

Of course, the reward would be ET the next week - yikes!

LeanderLions3033
10-09-2006, 08:07 PM
Yeah KT. Im gonna agree with leanderdad on that one. Although RR Westwood beat Round Rock, i feel like Round Rock is the better team. Round Rock was leading Westwood 28-14 with 5 minutes in the game. Round Rock was driving and fumbled deep in Westwood territory. Westwood then proceded to go down and score, get the onside kick and score again with about 30 seconds left. Westwood then won in the 1st overtime. Momentum can take over a game as you can see right there. Westwood gave up 457 rushing yards against us. I doubt any playoff team would make it giving up that kind of rushing yards. And fi they do get in cause of their offense, they will be done in the first round. Halfway into the season, my prediction goes as follows. I think Cedar Park may go into the Leander game in week 10 undefeated, so if Leander holds up there end that game will decide district. I don't think Pflugerville or Georgetown will get in so thats kind of a toss up between the 4 round rock schools. I think it will be....

Leander
Cedar park
Round Rock
McNeil

i just don't see how Westwood gets in with the showing they had against us.

Lubbock and El Paso teams play each other! The metroplex teams don't play each other?
JagDad07
10-10-2006, 10:44 AM
Of course they do, but there's more differing common opponents to help you get a feel for team.

I was looking at Lubbock schools and the best teams they've played were Midland and Odessa teams. I looked at Midland and Odessa teams and the best teams they've played were Lubbock schools.

So with Monterrey sitting there at 5-0, it's hard to judge how good they are since (1) haven't seen 'em and (2) their wins are over teams I don't know anything about for sure either.

OK I see. Monty , although they beat us are not a top 10. They beat us by 3 and thats just about what it should have been. You know what ET did to us so, I say you can strapulate from that. Sevrval teams in 3-A seem to be finding themselves so most will get much better and you can look for the top 2 or 3 teams from this district going into the playoffs to be tough. Maybe not ET tough but tough. Fridays results will tell you a lot about the district.

i fervently hope, for your sake, the 3-5a reps are strong enough so as not to lose in the second round to an ep school. i would also hope to get some revenge on an always mediocre weatherford roo team, for b****-slapping the eagles. i still believe at least 2 and maybe 3 teams from the lswc make the 3rd round.

Yes they play eachother, but i think he is just trying to say that there is more talent coming out of the metroplex than from the El Paso or Lubbock area. Which would mean stiffer comp. for the teams in the metroplex. It's just hard to find out how good those teams are in far west texas when you live here in the metroplex, and never hear anything about Lubbock or El Paso teams.

Lonny,
Will Judson be in D1?
Yep. They should be the Top team in the D1 bracket for 26-5A since SV will go D2. Madison, Churchill, and MacArthur are all bigger than SV. There is some chance that Churchill only loses 1 more game, but I'm not betting on that.

Considering the past, will North Shore get that far? They really could lose to Cy-Fair in Region 3.

I don't try to be a hater, but I have to look at the facts.

Since North Shore started going to the playoffs every year since 1994, they're 16-11 in the playoffs. That includes a trip to the Semifinals in 1996 and a Title in 2003. They've lost in Region 3 all the other years.

By comparison, Judson is 29-8 since 1994 with 2 Titles, 5 Finals, and 7 Semifinals.
lonny23

In that matchup, I'm taking Judson. Westfield and Katy are the only 2 Houston teams that I would consider picking to beat Judson.

You're picking Judson to beat NS? Were you drinking when you made the pick?
KT2000
10-13-2006, 08:54 AM
If Judson and North Shore played right now, I'd say Judson would need to hold North Shore under 10 points to win the game because I would not favor the Rockets to score more than 10 on North Shore. At least not against Shore's 1s.

It will be extremely difficult for a team without a good, consistent balance in the running/passing game to beat North Shore.

If the two played today, and I had to pick the score I'd go with:

North Shore 28
Judson 3
Statman/NS
10-13-2006, 10:42 AM
I agree with KT2000.

For those of you who say we (NS) choke or just look at the past performances in the playoffs without looking closely at those games just don't really know what you are talking about. Each year is different with different players and each team takes on a personality of it's own. Does the past give some insight? Yes, but not entirely. 2001, NS loses to Madison (Vince Young) 61-58. Was it winable? Yes but a very young defense couldn't stop Mr. Young and a dropped pass on a boot sealed the deal. 2002, Ike beats NS 38-37 in the pitiful Dome. A fumbled snap before attempting a game winning field goal finished the game. Those two games were painful but NS didn't perform meekly. 2003 State Champions and undefeated. The only game I will comment on is the Westlake game. Since some of this thread mentions Judson (SA/Austin region), NS destroyed AW. It was not even close. 2004- Westfield. The worst defeat I have witnessed since at NS. We played poorly and lost to a good team, not some slouch. 2005-Westfield, a very good team that NS led 14-9 going into the fourth quarter. It got away but there is no shame in losing to that team. The only poor performance was in 2004.
Now this team is a different animal. Can they go all the way? absolutely. So can a number of others. Judson has plenty of history behind them, but history is not playing the games. All I am saying, is don't sell NS short. For those who do, you just might be surprised. Good luck to all who make it and hopefully we will see you all, way down the road.

10-13-2006, 10:46 AM
I remember getting ripped in 03 for telling Westlake fans, "if you're within 21 to 28 points at the half, consider yourselves lucky." That may have been a little blunt, but I couldn't think of any other way to put it.

North Shore's definitely my top team in the Houston area right now followed by Katy, Westfield and Cy Fair.

Plano East has come a long way from last year. I went to their game against ET in the first round of the PO, and they didn't look to sharp. Even if they did get beat by the team that eventually won state in the D1 bracket. This year they seem to have it rolling on all cylinders, and I can't wait to see how they do come PO time. Good luck Plano East, and I think ya'll will win the rest of your district games.

I think we have a pretty good chance of making it out the region this yr.! Our o is good. They can put up the points. But our D is solid and it doesn't look like they'll be falling apart any time soon!

Trinity will go Division I in my opinion. I can not see any feasible senerio that GP can get in the playoffs with their loss to Nimitz Friday. I plan on seeing you SLC folks the second week of the play offs unless Haltom sneaks in and SLC goes Division II.

Irving Nimitz - 2078
Dallas Jesuit - 2097

i think judson still may have a chance with a good defense and a combination of backs that can kill ur line but i still think the ns judson game will be good
