26-5A Playoff Teams

[jrp83]

Looks like it will be SV, Madison, & Churchill. Madison and SV for sure, Churchill has the best shot for 3rd. Although Reagan still has a shot. I Hate that my Rockets won't be there, but I'll be rooting for all these teams when the playoffs start. These teams need to represent. Not just the district, but the city and region. I know SV is not in SA but they are an SA area team. Now that the once mighty Rockets have fallen and won't be there, the rest of you guys need to pull up the slack. I know SV probably will, but I would like to see our other teams do something for a change. Everyone is rejoicing about Judsons demise. But remember, Judson has represented very well in the past, lets see how some of these other teams do. This is your chance, make it count!! Yes, I'm a Rocket fan, but if they are not there, I am a 26-5A fan.

I agree with what you say and I'm lifting the boycott. I'll even root for Madison! :eek:

It's not just about 26-5A though. I want SA and Region 4 to beat Houston and the other half of the state.

[mad_fan]

As a guy that has traded in Burnt Orange for Red more times than I care to count, I appreciate the comments. Every year there comes a point where you just have to go with the Region IV reps (and that usually means the SA area reps) in the playoffs.

[Reaganrattler07]

Third place will be decided next week (sorry, i'm just naturally more concerned with that then SV and Madison)

SV and Madison will decide 1st and second.

If Mac beats Judson, and Reagan beats Churchill - Reagan goes to the playoffs I THINK.

But if Churchill beats Reagan, Churchill goes to the playoffs...cause then they have Lee.

What kind of root are you smokin' over there?

It must be a root of forgiveness because it sure was a root of bitterness at one time.

I think so. You're more reasonable than some Madison fans.

I'm a little confused or it's too early on a Sunday morning. Why does Mac have to beat Judson? Doesn't Reagan take over third simply by beating Churchill? Or do you mean they clinch third if Judson also loses?

And if Madison and Churchill win, doesn't Churchill also have the inside track on second, with Madison clinching first?

[lonny23]

Churchill would be in front of SV if Madison beats the Rangers. Madison would clinch first that way.

[mad_fan]

I think so. You're more reasonable than some Madison fans.


And I don't attract as many flies! :p

[mad_fan]

Churchill would be in front of SV if Madison beats the Rangers. Madison would clinch first that way.


I think Madison has a chance this year; it'll come down to ball control, which will have to be better that it was against Judson.

[lonny23]

And I don't attract as many flies! :p
That's because they don't like San Angelo, either! :p

[lonny23]

I think Madison has a chance this year; it'll come down to ball control, which will have to be better that it was against Judson.
Yeah, they could beat SV. The Rangers have had a few close calls and aren't blowing everybody out of the water.

[Mac Is Back]

It saddens me that Mac put a bullet through its foot by losing to Churchill...

but I have a number of friends at Madison and promised them I would come to their playoff games and cheer them to the end. So I suppose I'll temporarily be a Mav...

[sendero]

The SV game is first place for the Rangers provided they could beat Roosevelt. My most likely first round looks like this:

D1: Madison vs Seguin

D2: SV vs Clemens
D2: Churchill vs San Marcos

With that scenario Madison would beat SV. SV loss would most likely put them against Clemens in the 1st round where a win would have them playing San Marcos in San Marcos since SV owes them a home game from last year.

The Reagan-Churchill game leaves it more wide open for the final spot. If Reagan wins there are a lot more scenarios for the final two spots provided SV loses as well.

[sendero]

And if Madison and Churchill win, doesn't Churchill also have the inside track on second, with Madison clinching first?

That's the way I see it but it also clinches third for SV. Churchill would win out over SV because of the head to head result.

I think 26-5A wins all those matchups in the playoffs.

[Mac Is Back]

Absolutely. My brother will be going for SV, but forget that.

Am I the only one who thinks 26-5A is a total warzone?

[lonny23]

No, I'm with you. I watch REAL good teams miss the playoffs every year.

[Mac Is Back]

No, I'm with you. I watch REAL good teams miss the playoffs every year.

Ugh, this season was just ugly. Upsets, upsets, Churchill losing, more upsets, strange comebacks, near misses, Churchill beats SV and Judson in one season, Madison dominates, upsets, Judson slides. Dang. Trials and tribulations in 26-5A.

It's been the most exciting season for the district in a while. I'm not too excited about it, though. I liked 7-0 in district Judson better.

[sendero]

I think 26-5A wins all those matchups in the playoffs.


I don't know Lonny :confused: San Marcos beat the 2-6-5 champ and nobody has really pushed Madison thus far. Maybe the power has shifted to the top three in the 2-5-5 :eek:

Because that's your line. It's your fault we have to listen to those guys brag all the time!

[Go Buffs]

I don't know about that SM-Churchill matchup lonny, but I haven't seen Churchill. What are their strengths and weaknesses? As for SM, their formula works well as long as they don't fall behind a couple of touchdowns. Can Churchill score enough and consistently to stay ahead. Possessions become very limited against San Marcos, so you have to make them count.

As for SV-SC, it would be the same song, different verse, of the playoff rivalry the last few years. A very even, very entertaining, hard fought matchup pitting the supremely disciplined, fundamentally sound, balanced Rangers against the speedier, more athletic, run-oriented Buffaloes.

Mad-Seguin, I'll concede that one, at least till I see Seguin this year.

I feel pretty good about Madison winning.

The Clemens game could go either way, but I think SV is a little more ready for playing in the playoffs.

The Churchill game is the tossup. They have good defense, but don't have Fanuzzi playing QB. I gave them the advantage because they've been getting up for big games.

[Reaganrattler07]

Heck, you all talk as if Churchill is already in the playoffs......

[zippy]

The Rangers didnt blow anyone out of the water last year, and they lost 2 games by this time instead of just 1. Madison was suppose to beat them last year, but the Rangers pounded them. However, this year is different, SV is not playing up to their potential, and they will not beat Madison next week. Madison, again, has better athletes, they are going to try to get revenge, and SV is just not playing well for some reason (that I dont want to say here).


Yeah, they could beat SV. The Rangers have had a few close calls and aren't blowing everybody out of the water.

[BandidoNB]

San Marcos didnt lose to just ANY 4A school. Austin Connally (from Pflugerville ISD) was last year's Class 4A State Semifinalist. There is no shame in losing a last second game to that team.

I f Madison doesnt have a running QB were fine.The only game we lost ,was because we had a hard time tackling Fanuzi in the first half.The second half they got maybe 3 first downs.That was a game of halfs.They won the first half 14 -0,we took the 2nd 10-0.It was game that I think most of the players thought all they had to do was show up,and thinking of the next week game vs Judson.Just started to late.That second half on defense was almost as dominating on defense,as the 2nd half against Judson.We have 3 of our top defenders healed up,for this week.If we lose against Madison,which i certainly dont think we will,then maybe we are down this year.Hill is starting to play better,and Beyers is starting to become more of a factor again at wr.If madison cant pass the ball,there in trouble.

Hahahahahahaha, do you know ANYTHING about the people you play?

[SVite]

Do you have a crysal ball,if you do tell me what they do,in this game,i could care less what they have done previously.

[mad_fan]

Si, Bandido. just as there is no shame for those Madison boys in their 3 point lose to SM...but, some here only which to discuss that...

[mad_fan]

You're brillant, my crystal ball tells me Madison will have about 40 passing plays. :rolleyes:

[SVite]

Last year Clearlake came to the alamodome,with the hype of how there wish bone had been running all over opponents,they didnt against the SV.Thats why i use the word "if".because it has yet to play out.

[mad_fan]

Do you have a crysal ball,if you do tell me what they do,in this game,i could care less what they have done previously.


Oh and their QB can't run either.

[SVite]

I doubt Madison will be on the field that long.And if they do throw it 40 times,then there behind a bunch,even before half time.I hope they throw it 40,maybe there will be many interceptions.But when you have a back like Green,im sure they`ll love to have him rush 40 times,then they should be up,and we`ll be throwing 40. ;)

Easy killer, it WAS A JOKE. Obviously, you have no idea who you are playing this week. :eek:

[SVite]

To tell you the truth,i believe SV blows Madison off the field again this year.Sv gets up for big games,and this is the biggest since Judson.

[mad_fan]

And you should believe...that's where you go to school...it's kind of implied when you join here that you support your school.

[JackHandey_98]

This should be a great game...I hope Madison shows up this year unlike last year. To Madisons advantage they're playing at SV where theyve been having a tough time winning. Madisons QB-RB threat should give SV a hard time, but I thought the same thing last year. Hopefully SV will be healthier than weeks past. If Madison can throw the ball and keep SV off balance they have a great shot but if they let SV control the line and pressure Caflish<sp? i think SV wins a close one.

Madison's D has been steadily improving and I think they will make the difference in Madison's chances this year. The O cannot do stuff like they did this past weekend...they need stick'em on their fingers. :)

[RATTLERS316]

except how come nobody ever completes that sentence with...and then SM lost to a 4A team. :p
that 4A team was Plugerville Connaly who was state ranked at the time in 4A...great team too esp on defense

[Reaganrattler07]

Please tell me your joking SVite....you don't know if Madison has a running QB or not?!....boy, I hope all of SV thinks that....

[SVite]

Is what i said "if" they do it against us.Not what they have done in the past.We have knocked out 4 qb`s already,just for an example.If we stack the line and stuff the run.We will be there toughest test,we have played better,ala p-ville,that was the 2nd qb knocked out.By the way Mad,i`m a grad of SV,before most of you were born.I do work,and dont study every team in Texas like many of you.My wife teaches at Judson ISD,and is also a grad of SV.Just fyi........

[Reaganrattler07]

We have knocked out 4 qb`s already,just for an example.

And you all are proud of this - this is a reason why people don't like you. You practically try to send players to the hospital. You sent a Mac player and then a Reagan player. And on top of that, you all don't stop talking or kneel down when the player is down - even though you hurt him.

Sorry, I read some of your previous posts and thought you were a kid. When did you grad?

[SVite]

We dont kneel to our own players.And yes your taught to hammer people,i was taught to do it,nothing has changed.Sure you dont want to seriously injure any one,but it`s part of the game.And if qb`s are running,there fair game.It has`nt stopped any team yet from running there qb. at us.So gamble,they know whats happened in the past this year.

Yes, your taught to hammer them....not take cheap shots. But when you don't even have the decency to kneel down.....I'm not even gonna start.

[zippy]

Red, you dont play football do you? It is the nature of the game, and if you are a good defense, this is your sole purpose on the field. Like it or not.

[zippy]

When has SV made cheap shots? If your going to say that, let us know when it has taken place. As for the kneeling down, some do it, others dont. Its not going to help the situation one way or another, and the player on the ground doesnt know if they are kneeling down or not. But please, update us on these cheap shots. Make sure a flag was tossed on the claims you make too, otherwise they are legal and expected.

lee had a close game with madison

[JC73]

Sv plays clean. They hit hard and get excited. Please lets not start talking about kneeling for an injured player. It's a tired subject. On the Reagan football website, even their coaches talk about it not being a sign of disrespect if the other teams don't kneel. If people don't like us, it's becuase we win quite a bit, and they look for things to gripe about like, not kneeling, oboxious posters/fans, ect, that really don't reflect the team, program, school, or community.

[mad_fan]

lee had a close game with madison


16 is close? okay i'll give you that..., but Madison beat Churchill 31-10, that's why it is too hard to predict this district this year. Twice in the first half of the Madison Judson game, Madison had solid drives down to within Judson's 25 and came away with no points because of ball control errors. SV is capable of doing Madison in; but Madison is capable of doing Madison in also. If Madison doesnt make key errors they can hang with the best.

[SeguinMatadors]

The SV game is first place for the Rangers provided they could beat Roosevelt. My most likely first round looks like this:

D1: Madison vs Seguin

D2: SV vs Clemens
D2: Churchill vs San Marcos

With that scenario Madison would beat SV. SV loss would most likely put them against Clemens in the 1st round where a win would have them playing San Marcos in San Marcos since SV owes them a home game from last year.

The Reagan-Churchill game leaves it more wide open for the final spot. If Reagan wins there are a lot more scenarios for the final two spots provided SV loses as well.

What happens if Seguin beats Clemens and there is a 3way tie for 1st place? Does Clemens get the higher seed in the D2 bracket because they beat the other team in in the d-2 bracket?

[Hunting82]

Seguin will not beat clemens.....sure losing james henry is a big blow but clemens is full of offensive weapons just ask San Marcos......I think seguin beating clemens is just wishful thinking on your part

[SeguinMatadors]

Seguin will not beat clemens.....sure losing james henry is a big blow but clemens is full of offensive weapons just ask San Marcos......I think seguin beating clemens is just wishful thinking on your part

Idk, I am a realistic person. Before Clemens lost James I had already said that Seguin would not beat Clemens. Losing James is a blow to both your secondary and offense. Clemens has a very basic offense and Seguin can handle that.

[Hunting82]

Well......that basic offense will wipe the floor with seguin.......no doubt

[SeguinMatadors]

Well......that basic offense will wipe the floor with seguin.......no doubt

Okay, no use arguing with someone who has no argument.

[Hunting82]

No argument? you honestly think seguin has a chance I find that hilarious.......that doesn't even deserve an argument

[sendero]

I don't think Henry played as much defense this year so he will not be as missed there as everyone thinks. Anyone else? Buff fans?

[Hunting82]

He hasn't played defense at all in district until san marcos....so in other words the defense will be the same, which spells trouble for seguin

[sendero]

What happens if Seguin beats Clemens and there is a 3way tie for 1st place? Does Clemens get the higher seed in the D2 bracket because they beat the other team in in the d-2 bracket?

I think the order is pretty much decided even if Seguin would beat Clemens we know Clemens, SM, & Seguin are the top three. Clemens would be the 1st place D2 school due to their head to head with SM.

[SeguinMatadors]

I don't think Henry played as much defense this year so he will not be as missed there as everyone thinks. Anyone else? Buff fans?

No but the guy Robinson who is moving to runningback was an all district corner.

[Hunting82]

Robinson will play both sides

Then you all must really hate us in the later part of the year....

SV is just about the only team I've ever seen not do it. And it gets a little weird when kids are sent to the hospital on a constant basis. But whatever, this isn't the place to talk about it.

[seansvranger]

we sent a guy in the mac and reagen game to the hospital thats how we roll
for the record im just kidding

Come on, it's not something we try to do, it's just something that happens when a team plays hard. You still haven't been able to back up that post about us taking cheap shots. As for taking a knee, it looks like you're searching for things to hate us about. I've been taught that it's only a sign of weakness.

[clemensbuff]

That's absolutely pathetic! If this is the way you feel the game is supposed to be played, you need serious help and I hope you get it! There is no way in hell that coach Hill would approve of this kind of garbage!

Just from this statement you must be in HS. There is no way that any adult would make a disgusting statement like that! One day you may have a son (if God blesses you with one), that you obviously don't deserve and maybe you will change your way of thinking!

And another thing, if you play which I seriously doubt, you will get what you deserve!

i was just kidding thats not really how i feel its a sad thing when someone gets hurt in a game but it does happen and i cant realy mean that while we have injured people i didnt mean it all just joking

As for taking a knee, it looks like you're searching for things to hate us about. I've been taught that it's only a sign of weakness. Don't mind seansvranger, he's on the freshman team.

One would wonder how players mysteriously end up at the hospital. Are you out there to kill a person who, like you, is starting in life? Or are you to play a game ?

Plenty of schools who are tougher than you all take a knee, and I for one, will never look down to them like I do to teams that do not even respect their opponnents by taking a knee, possibly the smallest thing you could do. And plus, your fans don't even be quiet when a plyer is being examined. Why does that matter? It shows the crowd actually cares about the injured player.

[clemensbuff]

I've been taught that it's only a sign of weakness. Don't mind seansvranger, he's on the freshman team.

I find it hard to beleive that coach Hill would teach that this would be a sign of weakness. Since when is taking a knee and showing respect to the other team's player that is down a sign of weakness?

And by the way, I do mind this freshman making comments like that! If he's a freshman, that means he's 14 years old and if he doesn't know any better than that by now, he's on the wrong road in life!!!

And by the way, he will get what he deserves one day. What comes around, goes around!!!!

[clemensbuff]

i was just kidding thats not really how i feel its a sad thing when someone gets hurt in a game but it does happen and i cant realy mean that while we have injured people i didnt mean it all just joking

I hope that no one thinks that way on any team! I have been on both ends of injuries, and either way it is no fun if you have one or if you cause one even with a clean hit!

[Reaganrattler07]

I find it hard to beleive that coach Hill would teach that this would be a sign of weakness. Since when is taking a knee and showing respect to the other team's player that is down a sign of weakness?

I find it hard to believe a lot of the things that the Rangers do....and unfortunately most of them are true. And Ranger fans, don't come to me telling me a different story. I'll take my friends' word over your word any day.

One would wonder how players mysteriously end up at the hospital. Are you out there to kill a person who, like you, is starting in life? Or are you to play a game ?

Plenty of schools who are tougher than you all take a knee, and I for one, will never look down to them like I do to teams that do not even respect their opponnents by taking a knee, possibly the smallest thing you could do. And plus, your fans don't even be quiet when a plyer is being examined. Why does that matter? It shows the crowd actually cares about the injured player

Anyone who has ever played football would know that football is more fun when you're playing hard and hitting people. This does not necessarily mean we're out to kill anyone, it's just football. Would you rather everyone just go easy on each other?

The sign of weakness goes back to pop warner, I don't look down upon anyone who takes a knee when a player gets hurt, everyone has their own opinion on that. It's no reason to dislike a team.

I just wish I knew what was so hard to believe about things the rangers do. If a player is out there with a cramp, ankle, semi-bad knee injury, why take a knee? If the players seemed to be paralized or something it might be different. I dont know what friends you are talking to, but I can tell you right now, that the SV defense is going to gang tackle, try to rip the ball out, and do what they are tought to do. Execute! If the opposing team gets banged up from it, so be it. They dont have to come out the second half. Its football. Hard hits= hospital stays sometimes. This is not on purpose, but it happens. When there are 3 people wraping up a player, and 4 more come in to help, if that player does not give up and fall, and the bell does not ring, he is going to take punishment. And he might get hurt. Bottom line. I do know that SV fans, and players clap when they get up, but please fill me in on the cheap shots. And if you choose to play ball one day, I hope you are on offense, cause you are not going to like your coaching on defense. If these kids did not give the impression to knock someone out every play, they would be benched. 100% everyplay, and hit them until they are on the ground and the whistle is blown. Also what are these things that Rangers do? That your friends are telling you? I can call coach Hill right now, if he needs to know about it. If it is something that is not legal. If its the fact that they hit too hard, nothing will be done. He might ask them to hit harder next week.
