How are pools determined? When will pools be out?

[HebronHawk]

The State 7on7 board puts the pools together, usually during the week before the tournament starts.

[brad@TexasPreps]

Thanks

[Mcneilmavs 07]

Would be cool if it came out now and then you could do a March Maddness brackets...Who do you think would make final 4 and Elite 8 ---

Final 4 - Katy, Abilene, Lake Travis, Colleyville Heritage

Elite 8 - Kate, Abilene, Lake Travis, Colleyville Heritage
Brownwood, Mcneil, Southlake Carroll, Hebron

** Mcneil is my longshot..Starting Qb will not be with team on Friday

i think thats a good prediction. we all know CH is always great. Katy hasnt lost a game this year, and neither has Abilene. Abilene has lost 1 game the past two years. I dont know anything about LT tho

Colleyville Heritage is breaking in a new coach, entirely new offense and most of the defense..we'll see...they have not really shown an ability to re-load in the past. But hey it's not real football, it's 7 on 7 and anything can happen!

are they getting rid of the spread o?

Since the real coach doesn't run the 7-on-7 program, I don't see the correlation.

Now if you wanted to say that CHHS lost its passing quarterback, Casey Russell to Oklamoha and its 2 All-State wideouts in Breece Johnson and Evan Walker to UNT, then that would make sense.

[big red & cujo]

i hope tyler lee meets up with lufkin. i gotta see that rematch anyway i can get it.

[big red & cujo]

THese are really all of the teams that has a chance to make the state bracket. really the state bracket is not decided till the end of the first night of tournament weekend. the pools are made up of 4 teams. with the top 2 teams ineach pool advancing to the state bracket and the last 2 have to play in the concelation bracket. both state and concelation is played on saturday.

[Mcneilmavs 07]

big red & cujo - thanks for the break down of the 7 on 7 state tourn. All of these team have really already made the tourn.....it is still is a field of 64 teams fighting for the championship...just like the Ncaa basketball tourn... So the bracket can start on Friday... If you lose for the most part you are out... I still would like to see other people final 4 and elite 8 teams...

[7on7junkie]

Its tough to really see who will make the final 4 or elite 8 until the pools are released...then you'll know how the potential matchups will shake down....a lot of really good teams get knocked out in the round of 32 or 16...for example I thought Plano East had a real good shot at making noise last year but they ran into Baytown Lee in the round of 32 because of the way the brackets broke down

[Mcneilmavs 07]

That is the same way the March Maddness goes. (64 teams) with alot of upsets.....If they are really a good team - they should not be your pick to make the final 4 or elite 8 -- It you know too much that takes all the fun out of it...No one said it would be easy...

[drgnbkr]

Now if you wanted to say that CHHS lost its passing quarterback, Casey Russell to Oklamoha and its 2 All-State wideouts in Breece Johnson and Evan Walker to UNT, then that would make sense.

You'll notice that I said CH lost it's entire offense, and if you don't think the head coach keeps up with 7 on 7.....well, ok;)

[BDB]

way to go SB!

is there going to be a site with constant updates somewhere?

[big red & cujo]

I still would like to see other people final 4 and elite 8 teams...nope your are right and you are wrong. you are right that the 64teams have a chance to make a run for the tite. but,the state bracket does not begin till saturday. the friday games are just to see which teams will play for the state title. belive me i have seen it and been there to witness it. big red know's what he is talking about.:cool: :) the top 2 teams in each pool advance to the state bracket. if you loose one game friday you still have a chance to get to the state bracket. saturday is when its one and done time.friday is just like a sqt.if you dont make it, you still can play in a concelation tournament. if you still dont belive me then ask the administrator if i am accurate or not. shoot ask anybody!

[forest99]

well, i think he means friday is basically tournament time and i agree. it can get you alot of momentum going into saturday and if you lose more than ne game friday, your basically out of championship hunt.

[Warbird]

KTs, any estimate on when we can get the favorites for this year?:D

[Mcneilmavs 07]

big red & cujo - I understand the way the 7 on 7 State tourn goes.... And you are right on how the top 2 teams in each pool go into Championship round on Saturday...no one is saying that is wrong...but the State tourn does start on Friday... If you do not take care of your business on Friday then you are not in Championship Round on Saturday...But both Friday and Saturday is what they call the State 7 on 7 tourn...The 64 team Ncaa basketball tourn starts on day one not on the last weekend..All I wanted to see was other fans final 4 and elite 8 -- did not think it would be that big of deal....

Great link to explain the 7 on 7 tourn...

[forest99]

like somebody eluded to already, those tams could all face each other in the first round saturday. cant really predict without pools.could have a top 25 7on7 poll though.

[Shoot2thrill]

You'll notice that I said CH lost it's entire offense, and if you don't think the head coach keeps up with 7 on 7.....well, ok;)

I think even you would agree that there is a difference between "keeping up with" and influencing the outcome through coaching. I would have to agree that having a new HC should not matter in 7 on 7. That being said, I am of the opinion that coaching in general does not have the impact on 7 on 7 that it does regular football. :cool:

[Mcneilmavs 07]

forest99 like somebody eluded to already, those tams could all face each other in the first round saturday. cant really predict without pools.could have a top 25 7on7 poll though.
Today 07:30 AM

That is a good point...I wish the pools would come out early...How do you think they line up the pools...Do winners of SQT get higher ranking than runner ups...

[NMHS fan]

I'm curious to see how the Mesquite Skeeters do in their first state 7-on-7 tournament. I think they will do well.

[Mcneilmavs 07]

Mesquite should do pretty good - I also think Stephenville will go far... Looks like about 25 teams in this year made it last year... How many 1st time teams are there ?? Mesquite and Mcneil are both in it for the 1st time...

[Mcneilmavs 07]

I hear that they pick the pools by a blind draw...

[forest99]

ive taken 3 teams to state, and your right, seems like blind draw.

11 stratford is ahead of 12 cinco ranch, but cinco ranch beat stratford. and 19 klein forest is 1-1 vs cinco ranch. but all in all they did a good job. of course i think klein forest should be around 12!

#2 bee-yotch:D

have yall lost a 7on7 game yet?

[Warbird]

Only one in the last two years, and I think it was to Baytown Lee.

[Down n' Out]

Katy Dynasty, I'm surprised you let this list slip by ranking Baytown Lee ahead of Katy...What's up?

[panamamyers]

Katy Dynasty, I'm surprised you let this list slip by ranking Baytown Lee ahead of Katy...What's up?

Maybe it's because Lee is two time state champ in the event?
And they have been missing 2 of their top players since the Manvel sqt ;)

[Drake]

Maybe it's because Lee is two time state champ in the event?
And they have been missing 2 of their top players since the Manvel sqt ;)Katy still should have been the top GHA team listed.

[panamamyers]

Well.
Maybe.
I guess we will see at state. I like the Ganders chances, as I'm sure you do as well.

[sgp3]

is this 7 on 7 thing reall that serious can u really judge how well a team going to in the fall from what they do at this 7 on 7

[Drake]

Well.
Maybe.
I guess we will see at state. I like the Ganders chances, as I'm sure you do as well.Well, they're certainly the team I'm pulling for! :)

[AE 8008]

Well.
Maybe.

not me

[Drake]

not meWho you picking?

[Drake]

I think a lot depends on the pools and draw.

[AE 8008]

true dat. take a WILD GUESS at who im gonna pick;)

[svhorns]

Odessa Permian:D

[katy_dynasty]

thanks down n out . the list is pretty good execpt baytown lee shouldnt be #1 when theyve already lost to katy not once but twice i think abilene should be #1 bc of there record and katy at # 2 bc there undefeated also did they do any research before they made the list and put baytown lee at #1???

[panamamyers]

Or maybe they did do research and that's why they picked who they picked.

[AE 8008]

Odessa Permian:D




ding ding ding
we have a winner:p

[Mcneilmavs 07]

What is your team record this year in SQT ?? Mcneil played in 2 and went 7-1 only losing to Lake Travis by 3...Dont know why Brownwood would be ranked ahead of Mcneil since we beat them at Lake Travis SQT...Just wondering what team records are at SQT ??? this year.. I know about Katy and Abilene not losing ....

[7on7junkie]

My guess on Baytown Lee being ranked #1 is that they are a proven winner at A&M they know what it takes to win on Saturday

I know McNeil beat Brownwood but didn't they win on like a last second hail mary?

Brownwood has been to state numerous times I'd probably give them the benefit also

[Mcneilmavs 07]

Mcneil did win on a last second hail mary - but Mcneil held the lead all but 1:00 minute of the game... when Brownwood hit a long bomb with about 1:00 left...I believe that was the 1st lead for them that game... So Mcneil got the win a lead all but 1:00 of the game... Who would you say was the better team...the team that lost or won...or the team that had the lead for only 1:00 of the game and lost..Or the team that lead most of the game and won ??? I do agree that Brownwood is a good team and the fact they have been to State before helped in ranking....

[panamamyers]

It's a predicted order of finish. It has something to do with results up to now, but there are other factors that go into it. Like 7on7 said, you can't disregard the fact that Lee has been there and won twice as well as numerous other deep runs. You also must factor in that 2 of Lee's best 7 or 8 players have been gone all summer but will be back for the state tournament.

Not making excuses, just explaining what MIGHT have went into the decision making process.

[katy_dynasty]

ok given that baytown lee has won in the past twice shouldnt play that much of a factor bc two years ago they didnt have the same squad so u have to look at this years progress and maybe a lil bit of last years IF they have alot of returning plAyers .(this is for all teams) . anyways regardless baytown lee has still lost twice to katy this year but i guess those didnt count...??? well i hope they get to play again it was a good matchup . does anyone know when the first game on friday will start .. ive heard 1 but not sure

[7on7junkie]

The state tournament turns into a battle of attrition on Saturday, playing 5 or 6 games in a row can wear on you mentally. Baytown Lee last year advanced to the semi-finals before losing to Rockwall, that has to play a role in things. Personally I wouldn't bet against them at Texas A&M

[panamamyers]

Actually it plays a factor. Lee knows what to expect in CS. I'm sure there are some intricacies of the two day tournament that Katy is not familiar with. I'm not saying it plays a huge factor. But, is it a factor? Of course. Regardless of if any of these Lee plyers were on those teams or not.(quite a few were on the team two years ago actually)

You completely disregarded the second part of my post which was the real meat of the reasoning.

This is not a ranking of how things have played out so far. That's not the purpose of their list. That couldn't be any farther from the purpose actually. This list is a list of how they think things will play out in CS. You HAVE to factor in that two of Lee's best players have not been playing(other than the first sqt) while they amassed the record they have so far this summer.

Again, I'm not saying I necessarily agree with their rankings. I haven't watched enough to know. I am giving you the logical reasoning that would lead them to rank them that way.

[forest99]

ok, this is from prepinsider. now say the top 2 teams finished in that order and move onto championship round on saturday. who would play who??? and are you 100% sure? just take the first few pools to keep it short...

[forest99]

Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets!:D

thats why i made sure hypothetical was in bold! not the real pools for state!

[Down n' Out]

Maybe it's because Lee is two time state champ in the event?
And they have been missing 2 of their top players since the Manvel sqt ;)

Katy beat them twice...I don't are who didn't show up, katy owns them this year and should be ranked ahead of them.

[panamamyers]

We won't know for certain who should have been predicted to finish where until after it's all over.

[Mcneilmavs 07]

Now that we have the 1st round pools..Who do you think will be in sweet 16 and elite 8

Sweet 16 picks - Stephenville - Mcneil - Mesquite - Hebron - Katy - Abilene - Colleyville Heritage - Baytown Lee - Frenship - Arlington Bowie - Lake Travis - Stratford - Rockwall - Arlington Lamar- Plano East - Cinco Ranch

Elite 8 - Arlington Bowie - Colleyville Heritage - Stratford - Abilene - Baytown Lee - Katy - Lake Travis - Stephenville

[Down n' Out]

Pretty good list...I think you left off a few DFW teams that will be in the hunt.

My list "Sweet 16" in order: Katy, Abilene, Colleyville Heritage, Lewisville Hebron, Baytown Lee, SLC, The Woodlands, Stephenville, Lake Travis, Wolforth Frenship, Cinco Ranch, Klein Forest, Plano East, Stratford, RR McNeill and Keller Central.

Elite 8 in order: Look at the first eight above.

It didn't appear to be a well-informed article on the 7 on 7 teams that I have seen.

[Mcneilmavs 07]

I was kind of shocked by some of the picks myself....

[Drake]

Permian and Stratford in the finals? Don't know much about Permian, but Stratford is certainly capable. Would still be a surprise final though.

[odessapermian.com]

It sure was a surprise when we won it in 2003. :eek:

[Drake]

It sure was a surprise when we won it in 2003. :eek:Tell us about your team. What do you think their chances are?

[odessapermian.com]

Tell us about your team. What do you think their chances are?


I like our chances if our defense shows up ready to play. That is the key IMHO at the state tournament. You have to get some stops on defense. My concern is we do not have much height on defense and may have trouble with tall receivers. I also mentioned being ready to play because, for example, we have one CB that is very talented- we call him Deion- but to be completely honest like Deion Sanders sometimes it looks like he decides to take a play off (or rather, I have a feeling maybe he gets that "I've got a starting spot sewn up and it's just 7 on 7" attitude). But if he comes in with the right mindset he can be a difference maker. We also have a good safety in Andrew Amoyaw. He makes a good break for the ball. An ankle sprain may hamper him some though (he seemed okay Tuesday).

Offensively we have some talent, and will be helped by the participation of our top returning skill player, WR/DB Melvis Pride (5'11" 175# 4.4). He hasn't been able to make any of the SQTs we played in. Missed one due to a previous family engagement, and the other because he was at the Baylor camp. Coupled with Joseph Knighten, a transfer from Coppell that has similar stats to Melvis, I think we will have a potent 1-2 punch at WR. I think all of receivers are capable, but those two are probably the attention getters. QB is Taylor Byrd, who is a lot like our 2003 QB Shea Smith with a little bit better wheels. Again, I think if we show up ready to take care of business we can do very well. Or we could not be business like and have our heads handed to us. Probably the same as most everyone else. ;)

We're getting there tonight.

Are any of OP's coaches making the trip as spectators?

Stratford has a good team, but I don't know if their defense is strong enough to carry them that far. They will need to be on fire offensively the entire time in order to win it. I've seen them a few times this summer.

your dead on with that one kt. there def is not strong at all. so when is your bracket coming out kt?

I'll get my picks together this afternoon, and see if I can project all the way through.

well thats just not right! mesquite is a good team, but i dont see katy losing to them! or klein forest and langham creek not making the champ bracket, or stratford winning the whole thing! seems like they had an agenda while making their picks..... and kt! make sure you have kf vs katy in the quarterfinals! lol
