Pre-district schedule strength

[Wypirates03]

Just out of curiosity, what do you feel is the strength (out of 10) of your schools pre district schedule. Who would you like to see them play, and why would you like to see them.

Here's the type of responses that I'm looking for.

Wylie

Week 1 - AT Arlington Seguin
Week 2 - VS Hebron
Week 3 - VS Rowlett

Schedule Strength

I give this schedule a strength of 5 out of 10.

Reason being is that Arlington Seguin, while a good team, is not the type of team that will give us much of a showing of what we'll face in district play. They're a predominatly running team and most of the teams we'll play in 8-5A will be passing teams. With the exception of a couple that will run the ball when needed. While Seguin has great size and speed, our strength on defense is guarding against the run, and we won't really be able to test our up and coming secondary.

Hebron will always have a good team as long as they're under Coach Brazil. They have a good combination of passing/rushing plays and they mix it up a lot. They'll play to the other teams weekness, and that's what we need to go against when it comes to district play as well as the playoffs. They also possess a determined defense. They return quite a few players from last season who will make an impact. First that comes to mind is Norman. (I think that's his name)... he came in at RB, Kicker, and LB last year.

Rowlett can mix the ball up as well. With the exception of them not having their star QB and RB again next year, I think they'll be better overall as a team. However, I don't see them being the type of challenge such as a Hebron will bring. I'd rather us lose in the pre district and learn versus winning big and not learning anything.

Who'd I like to see us play

Week 1 - Euless Trinity - They're physical and well disciplined. While I stated that I wouldn't like to see us open up with a rushing based team, Trinity's discipline and ability to change the game with their defense as well as an offense that takes it slow and tries to keep time on their side will better prepare us for low possession count games in district play.

Week 2 - Hebron is a good choice

Week 3 - Ennis - While Ennis is 4A they are a force there. They always have a great passing attack, and that would really test the secondary.

[Dynastybegan86]

Katy's pre-district schedule is as follows:

Week 0 - GPNorthshore
Week 1 - The Woodlands
Week 2 - Bellevue, WA
Week 3 - FM Marcus
Week 4 - Beaumont Westbrook

I would give this an 8. One, because we really do not know much about the Bellevue team, only that they have won 6 out of 8 championships in the last 8 years. It sounds salty, but uncertain being from Washington. Most have said that they are very good. Second, because THWS lost a lot of talent from last years very talented squad. Lastly, because if I give it a 10, I'll be called a homer...even though you already know that I am!

Not sure who else I would like to see us play, but SC or Allen would be nice, maybe even some pirates...again;)

[SLC]

Just an fyi on Seguin...They suck...like really bad...I watched Guyer flatten them at Dragon Stadium last season...Also almost all their starters were Sr.'s, so they lose quite a bit off a team that finished 5-7...they will again, suck.

Yeah, I know. I was just trying to keep it friendly. :D

Alas, Alex Norman is packing his bags and his brains and heading to Harvard. In Brazil's two way system he played TE and CB. But that's a whole 'nuther topic.

[bowiedawgs01]

Vista Ridge
Round Rock
@ Hays Consolidated (4A)

Based on last season, there are 2 playoff teams albeit one was 4A. Round Rock will be solid again. Hays will be improved and strong as usual. I have no idea about Vista Ridge. They weren't very good last year, but they upset us in the first game. I'm not sure what they have coming back, but I know they lose a big time playmaker.

I'd give this a 5/10.

[E-Vol-ution]

Well....you guys did say out of district.....I sure wondered about Sequin. They don't impress.

That is a stout predistrict lineup. I'm a do my best to see the Bellevue game. The only thing is , most of these are rushing teams (excepting Woodlands, not sure about Westbrook), and that plays into your defensive strength.

[bake34]

Garland's...2 5A playoff teams, 2 4A playoff teams...good comp. to prepare for District.

week 0...Kimball (Kincaid)
week 1...Duncanville (Williams)
week 2...Lake highlands (Williams)
week 3...Abilene Cooper (Shotwell)

[dada]

Good point...probably won't see many passing teams besides Cinco and outside of Region 3.

I may have been thinking of someone else then...

[The King]

Good point...probably won't see many passing teams besides Cinco and outside of Region 3.

If you do a good enough job of stopping the run they might try anything.

[SWMHebron]

I may have been thinking of someone else then...

I need to see about getting some of the other Hebron people involved or go track down a program from last year to see who was a junior. Brazil is so fixated on seniors anyone else usually stands out but I just can't think of anyone right now.

[da wiz]

et.....

vs. bingham utah, state runnerup

vs cedar hill, state quarterfinals

vs. allen, state champs........


id give it an 8.5....

[twolf5]

I'll give Cedar Park's a 7.5 to 8

Week 0 is Westlake, as they'll remind you, nuff said.....
Week 1 is Temple, and none other than Lache Seastrunk and a host of really good talent.
Week 2 is Lake Travis the two time defending 4A state champs

It'll certainly get us ready for a tough distrcit race.

[Lil_Dragon82]

Monterey is about a 1, maybe a two.

They have 4A Plainview in zero week. That's the only pre-district game they have.

District starts week one

[SWMHebron]

I may have been thinking of someone else then...

Chris Summers maybe. He played quite a bit last year and was a very productive receiver. He is listed as a TE/DE. I remember him playing CB and maybe safety but not DE.

Twolf. Did something change. Temple played cedar park in week one last year

[SV61]

SV starts Judson.

Then the next week, SV plays Wagner.

I think the Wagner team MAY be stronger than the Judson team.

THEN, SV falls right off into District.

Maybe a 7.0??

:confused:

Thoughts?

[tjw]

At first glance one might be inclined to say 7 to 8. Mexican National Champs, Quarter Finalist and 4a Championship Runners up.

Truth is about 4, maybe 5 because of Longview and Trinity pulling it up.

Longview 4a State Champion Runners up who were 5A in 2007 & will be again, Dave Campbells has picked as preseason 4A #1 in state.

Monterey Tech the Mexican National Champs again, but an easy win for almost all of Texas 5A & most of 4A.

Rockwall last year 4-6 after dropping to 4A from 5A. Allen always seems to win against them even some odd things have occured in the past to make it so. Not sure if they will be any good this year or not after Rockwall Heath opened to take away students a couple years ago.

Euless Trinity 5A Quarter Finalist last years #1 in the Nation for most of the year and 2007 State Champs. Never a rebuilding year, maybe a reloading even if the Trinity faithful say they won't be as good.

[AE 8008]

Garland's...2 5A playoff teams, 2 4A playoff teams...good comp. to prepare for District.

week 0...Kimball (Kincaid)
week 1...Duncanville (Williams)
week 2...Lake highlands (Williams)
week 3...Abilene Cooper (Shotwell)

i was thinking Garland played @ Shotwell vs. Cooper last year, but maybe im wrong

[Wypirates03]

Chris Summers maybe. He played quite a bit last year and was a very productive receiver. He is listed as a TE/DE. I remember him playing CB and maybe safety but not DE.

I remember Chris, but he's not who I'm referring to. I may have had the positions wrong. It's been a few months. Wes Hammer maybe?

[SWMHebron]

I remember Chris, but he's not who I'm referring to. I may have had the positions wrong. It's been a few months. Wes Hammer maybe?

He was my second choice. He played RB and LB mostly I think.

[mojoguy]

We have one pre-district game against Duncanville in San Antonio. I would say it will be about a 7-8. I anticipate they will be a much improved team in their second year under Coach Dicus, and we are coming in with a new head coach. I do believe we will bring plenty of people to the Alamodome though. Hopefully the energy will carry us.

If the end of last season was any indication, Duncanville could be very tough.

[grayowl60]

i was thinking Garland played @ Shotwell vs. Cooper last year, but maybe im wrong
Nope, at Williams out on Glenbrook. Where is Shotwell?

[SWMHebron]

Nope, at Williams out on Glenbrook. Where is Shotwell?

Shotwell is in Abilene.

[AE 8008]

Abilene - 4.5

Week 0 Champions Classic vs. OD Wyatt (4A)...as a replacement for Glades Central (FL)...suck
Week 1 @ PESH...suck
Week 2 vs. Abilene Cooper (4A)...solid team that spent its 1st year ever in 4A, and obviously a must schedule for rivalry reasons
Week 3 @ Tyler Lee...poor offense but stellar defense

i would say it does a less than average job of preparing for a good district...but then again 3-5A is not close to that. Abilene will be 10-0 again without really knowing how good they are until maybe round 2 or 3 of the playoffs...which, of course, gotta get there first...


would like to see a series vs. Highland Park, Katy, and/or OP

[AE 8008]

Nope, at Williams out on Glenbrook. Where is Shotwell?

ohh ok. Shotwell is off Loop 320 and Highway 80 by the Taylor County Expo Center. where is Glenbrook?

[ftballin11]

That is a stout predistrict lineup. I'm a do my best to see the Bellevue game. The only thing is , most of these are rushing teams (excepting Woodlands, not sure about Westbrook), and that plays into your defensive strength.


Every team in our district runs the spread so that will prepare us on the passing teams.

[grayowl60]

Shotwell is in Abilene.
Oh...Ok. I know Abilene is out west towards Roswell

[twolf5]

Twolf. Did something change. Temple played cedar park in week one last year


Ooops, good catch.

[grayowl60]

ohh ok. Shotwell is off Loop 320 and Highway 80 by the Taylor County Expo Center. where is Glenbrook?
Glenbrook is north of the square

[pvillepanthers61]

pflugerville pre district
1. a much better leander team
2. JUDSON
3. Round Rock

[trojanbacker]

lol@tjw. Saying that Trinity pulls up your strength of schedule this coming season is a bit of a stretch. If anything, it probably pulls it down. This is a 5 or 6 win team this year.

[tjw]

I'll believe that one when I see it. ;)

[AE 8008]

Glenbrook is north of the square

ohh ok yeah the square. wait do you mean this square or that other one?

[ktCarl]

Good point...probably won't see many passing teams besides Cinco and 7-Lakes outside of Region 3.

You left a passing team out of your comment.

[Trinity Trojan Fan For Li]

Here's what we've got so far: (of course we have to put it in rankings)

Strength of Pre-District

1. Trinity 8.5
2. Katy 8
3. Cedar Park 7.5 - 8
4. Allen 7-8
4. OP 7-8
6. SV 7
7. Bowie 5

9. Abilene 4.5
10. Monterrey 1-2

Garland and Pflugerville not rated.

FIFY!
I'm changing Katy's ranking to 8.75, gotta be #1!!!

[Mr. Rod]

Assuming we have the same schedule as last year:

Katy
Eisenhower
Cy Falls
SLC
La Marque

Should be exciting. I rank this at an 8.
Katy - great team
Ike- Not as tough but an overall good team
Cy Falls - Passing team, NS is not used to
SLC - Whether they are in a downfall (I'll be the judge of that come Sept 26th) or not still a great team.
La Marque - I have no clue.

[33Blood]

Katy's pre-district schedule is as follows:

Week 0 - GPNorthshore
Week 1 - The Woodlands
Week 2 - Bellevue, WA
Week 3 - FM Marcus
Week 4 - Beaumont Westbrook

I would give this an 8. One, because we really do not know much about the Bellevue team, only that they have won 6 out of 8 championships in the last 8 years. It sounds salty, but uncertain being from Washington. Most have said that they are very good. Second, because THWS lost a lot of talent from last years very talented squad. Lastly, because if I give it a 10, I'll be called a homer...even though you already know that I am!

Not sure who else I would like to see us play, but SC or Allen would be nice, maybe even some pirates...again;)


If Katy goes through that unscathed they should be ranked at worst #2 by then. The Bellevue game will be hyped, Marcus and NS are very good, Westbrook was stout last year and the Woodlands might have a pretty good team.

All Westbrook had last year was a quality running back. I don't see them giving Katy a run for their money. I was disappointed in last years game WB @NS. All year I heard Westbrook was the real deal. But .... nah.

[chapfootball123]

Westlake has Cedar Park, Lake Travis and A&M Consolidated... if i'm not mistaken. Maybe a 7.5 or 8. Those are all some tough athletic teams. Good thing that we will be battle tested early.

[Wypirates03]

I think I'd give that a 6.5. Cedar Park is quality. Lake Travis will be without Gilbert, but I hear they're bringing up a quality QB to replace him. We'll see how that goes, but I wouldn't be surprised if they go 7-3 on the season. A&M Consolidated is an iffy team. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're average. I guess we could say that it could be a 6.5 to a 8 depending on how those teams revamp next year.

Hahaha yeah... i'd say there is a pretty big range of potential there, depending on how those teams shake out.

[PackAttack2005]

Lufkin's pre-district schedule will be as follows:

Tyler Lee @ Abe Martin
John Tyler @ Tyler Rose
Nacogdoches @ Dragon Sta.
Longview @ Abe Martin
Mesquite @ Abe Martin

Probably not the toughest by any stretch, but better than average overall.

[HUM398]

Humble:

Cy-Ridge (at Turner)
Spring (at Turner)
JV (at Berry)
Klein (at K. Memorial)

i would say that this is a pretty boring Pre-district lineup...

Cy-Ridge is going to have to find out how to win without Limpscomb and Shepard, and from what i saw...I don't think they can do it against Humble next year.

Spring: Beat us the last two years....We tend to play very poorly at George, but have never lost to Spring at Home...

JV: ehhhhh. I think JV is really inconsistant...They could be a challange but you never know...They haven't been the same since Bibbs left.

Klein: Intresting match up that will challange our young Defensive line, but a revamped D-line. Last year we relied on a lot of power to stop the running game...It didn't work. We stocked our line with some pretty big guys (DE-Ronnie Hodges 6-2 230, DT L. Strahan 6-4 330, Kenny Brown 6'2 290, and DE Shannon Nettles 6'2 220lbs)....This year we have Nettles who is our Strong Side DE, and Kenny Brown who i hear has gotten a lot stronger and athletic...Which is great.....and to replace our other two linemen will be Sophomores and Juniors...all which are faster, leaner players....Paul Boyette is 6'3 240 DT, and we have a couple of players that can play DE that are tall and light on their feet....should be interesting game.

[dada]

All Westbrook had last year was a quality running back. I don't see them giving Katy a run for their money. I was disappointed in last years game WB @NS. All year I heard Westbrook was the real deal. But .... nah.

Agreed...West Brook should be a "Get well" or "Get ready for district" game...lol

[corycone33]

Temple schedule pre district.


Cedar park
Leander
Plano. I would say at least a 7. I know plano lost the man but they are still suppose to do well.I saw somewhere they were ranked 94 in the nation. I know polls don't necessarily mean anything but it is interesting. Temple is playing at their place, so that will be a very tough game for temple

[85Roughneck]

Good point...probably won't see many passing teams besides Cinco and outside of Region 3.

I'm thinking, Northshore will have a passing game that'll keep you honest simply because they tend to have athletes. I assess TWHS about the same as Da Sho, Westbrook won't bring much this year with Christine Michaels gone. IMO ... The Bruins were a bust last year without him. FMMarcus will be as tough as they were last year. Bellevue is known for the run, but if I'm a seasoned coach like that guy is I'm gonna put a few passing tricks in my bag when I go to Texas to play Katy which is hell4stout on run defense. Won't do them any good though becasue this year the Katy Tiger DB's being led by Atwood is gonna smoke the competition with there pass protection. Those boys can cover Katy's ZIP and all the surrounding ZIP codes too.

Buckle up and get your popcorn ready brothers ... it's gonna be a fun ride to the ship again this year. WooHoo!!!

[BandidoNB]

NEW BRAUNFELS

Week 0 vs. Seguin (4A)
Week 1 vs. New Braunfels Canyon (4A)

both teams did not make the 4A playoffs... so I dont know, maybe a 4?

errr like a 1

[BandidoNB]

errr like a 1


:confused:

at least a 3.. playing 1's would be like, I dont know... San Antonio Memorial or San Antonio Southside.

[MHSfootball]

Mcneil High School:
Week 1: @A&M Consolidated
Week 2: Belton
Week 3: Bryan- They will more then likely be good.

Idk I guess 6-7?

[uhsfilmcrew]

Laredo United

1. SA Stevens
2. CC Ray
3. SA Alamo Heights

what do you say about this schedule? :confused:

Maverick fan. You do have a good schedule. All of those teams will be better than last yr.Bryan believe it or not will be the weakest. I hope you have a good secondary. Belton will be tough to beat. They have a QB Ash that is a transfer from academy he will only be a JR. I don't think he started against you guys. He came in later in the season. I saw somewhere is he is rated #1 QB for 2011.

[HEB Star]

Chris Summers maybe. He played quite a bit last year and was a very productive receiver. He is listed as a TE/DE. I remember him playing CB and maybe safety but not DE.

Chris Summers a Junior was a TE and OLB. He started the season splitting time with Norman at TE and started as a DE but when District started He became the full time TE and Norman went to Wide out. Norman was moved to weak side LB and Summers to Strong side LB. Both players were 1st Team All District both offense and defense

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

Abilene - 4.5

Week 0 Champions Classic vs. OD Wyatt (4A)...as a replacement for Glades Central (FL)...suck
Week 1 @ PESH...suck
Week 2 vs. Abilene Cooper (4A)...solid team that spent its 1st year ever in 4A, and obviously a must schedule for rivalry reasons

i would say it does a less than average job of preparing for a good district...but then again 3-5A is not close to that. Abilene will be 10-0 again without really knowing how good they are until maybe round 2 or 3 of the playoffs...which, of course, gotta get there first...

Oh! So, that means that Cooper will play Dunbar this year?

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

Lufkin's pre-district schedule will be as follows:

Tyler Lee @ Abe Martin
John Tyler @ Tyler Rose
Nacogdoches @ Dragon Sta.
Longview @ Abe Martin
Mesquite @ Abe Martin

Probably not the toughest by any stretch, but better than average overall.

Lee will be a tough one because, it's a former district rival and, you guys always play each other tough.

John Tyler MIGHT be a team to watch this year statewide. If I'm not mistaken, they've got most of their guns back on offense. Not sure about the defense though. Oh, and they're another former rival of y'all's.

Y'all have back handed Nacogdoches, or as my homegirl from Tyler would say, Nacogroaches, pretty bad in the past. Probably wouldn't be any different this coming year.

Longview will be tough and, you guys hate each other. Since it's at Abe, I think y'all will win it by a touchdown.

I'm not sure what Mesquite will look like this coming year.

Y'all's schedule could be anywhere between, a 5 and a 7.5. Nac kills it!

Just out of curiosity, what do you feel is the strength (out of 10) of your schools pre district schedule. Who would you like to see them play, and why would you like to see them.

Here's the type of responses that I'm looking for.

Wylie

Week 1 - AT Arlington Seguin
Week 2 - VS Hebron
Week 3 - VS Rowlett

Schedule Strength

I give this schedule a strength of 5 out of 10.

Reason being is that Arlington Seguin, while a good team, is not the type of team that will give us much of a showing of what we'll face in district play. They're a predominatly running team and most of the teams we'll play in 8-5A will be passing teams. With the exception of a couple that will run the ball when needed. While Seguin has great size and speed, our strength on defense is guarding against the run, and we won't really be able to test our up and coming secondary.

Hebron will always have a good team as long as they're under Coach Brazil. They have a good combination of passing/rushing plays and they mix it up a lot. They'll play to the other teams weekness, and that's what we need to go against when it comes to district play as well as the playoffs. They also possess a determined defense. They return quite a few players from last season who will make an impact. First that comes to mind is Norman. (I think that's his name)... he came in at RB, Kicker, and LB last year.

Rowlett can mix the ball up as well. With the exception of them not having their star QB and RB again next year, I think they'll be better overall as a team. However, I don't see them being the type of challenge such as a Hebron will bring. I'd rather us lose in the pre district and learn versus winning big and not learning anything.

Who'd I like to see us play

Week 1 - Euless Trinity - They're physical and well disciplined. While I stated that I wouldn't like to see us open up with a rushing based team, Trinity's discipline and ability to change the game with their defense as well as an offense that takes it slow and tries to keep time on their side will better prepare us for low possession count games in district play.

Week 2 - Hebron is a good choice

Week 3 - Ennis - While Ennis is 4A they are a force there. They always have a great passing attack, and that would really test the secondary.


Mesquite Horn is the other team we play.....

Fits right in with the D2 sucks topic, too!

[STPFootball2011]

Week 0- at SA Alamo Heights(4a)
Week 1- vs Pville Connally
Week 2- vs Waco(4a)

i'd say maybe a 4.5 on the schedule. Alamo and Waco are good 4a as evident by us loosing to Waco last year and connally is pretty average. compared to other teams though and there schedules its really not that great

[MHSfootball]

Maverick fan. You do have a good schedule. All of those teams will be better than last yr.Bryan believe it or not will be the weakest. I hope you have a good secondary. Belton will be tough to beat. They have a QB Ash that is a transfer from academy he will only be a JR. I don't think he started against you guys. He came in later in the season. I saw somewhere is he is rated #1 QB for 2011.
our Secondary will handle it.

i wonder if i know your homegirl from here. i know you girlfriend looked familiar when u had yalls pic on.

You might! She works for BCBG in Dillard's!

Yeah, your right! It revolves around Katy...:rolleyes:

[RangerFan]

I don't know the order, but Jesuit plays:

Bishop Lynch
Hebron
Coppell
South Garland

I don't know how good they will be this coming year, but I think this pre-district rates a 5 or 6. Hebron is always very good and well-coached. They are a playof team, and they won a tough district last fall. Coppell is always good, and they beat SLC last fall. They have a new coach I hear so who knows. South Garland usually makes the playoffs, and they are very athletic. Bishop Lynch is the weakest team on the schedule, but it is a big rivalry game. I think players and fans would shoot the head coach if he dropped BL. As a Jesuit grad, I love watching this game.

I'd love to see Jesuit play Highland Park and Houstron Strake Jesuit. Many of my friends are HP grads and although HP is usually the stronger team, these were fun games to watch back before Jesuit got in the UIL. Strake Jesuit is the other Jesuit school, and I would love to see them in a pre-season game against the Rangers. They've made the playoffs in UIL 5A three times of the the five seasons in the league, and so has Jesuit. My guess is both teams are very similar. With the district schedule including Allen, Plano, & Wylie, the other teams I'd like to see are already on the schedule, at least for one more season.

[johntylerfan]

Lee will be a tough one because, it's a former district rival and, you guys always play each other tough.

John Tyler MIGHT be a team to watch this year statewide. If I'm not mistaken, they've got most of their guns back on offense. Not sure about the defense though. Oh, and they're another former rival of y'all's.

Y'all have back handed Nacogdoches, or as my homegirl from Tyler would say, Nacogroaches, pretty bad in the past. Probably wouldn't be any different this coming year.

Longview will be tough and, you guys hate each other. Since it's at Abe, I think y'all will win it by a touchdown.

I'm not sure what Mesquite will look like this coming year.

Y'all's schedule could be anywhere between, a 5 and a 7.5. Nac kills it!



This year's JT team could be the best team W-L record-wise in years if certain things pan out like I think they will. JT returns around 12 starters from a team that was a hair away of beating Lake highlands in the 2nd round. JT is definitely a darkhorse team state-wide. Desoto and Lee are the only 2 teams that they will give JT some problems in district IMO. Mesquite lost alot from last year's team.

Get your hard-hat and lunch pail for that game. Not saying Heights will win, just saying, they is no slouch ! ;)

[platnmram]

That's what they said this year and look at the outcome of that game. They had a bunch of players but was a little overrated.

[AE 8008]

:confused:

at least a 3.. playing 1's would be like, I dont know... San Antonio Memorial or San Antonio Southside.

you're being generous for two 4A schools who missed the playoffs

[AE 8008]

Oh! So, that means that Cooper will play Dunbar this year?

you are correct sir

[wizenbud]

AH has a good JR and Soph class moving up. Much stronger than last years crop of Sr's & Jr's. The only thing AH had going for it last year was the QB, Allen. Defensively, the Mules will be stronger. Offensively, they normally get points on the board, this year shouldn't be much different.

As I said before, not saying Heights will win. I am just stating, the Mules will be better this year, than last IMO.

HMMM....depending on what's going on, I might slide down to Tyler for the game against Lamar. Of course, I haven't forgot about the beatdown that y'all gave the Vikings up here in Arlington. But, just like JT, Lamar has a good crop coming back, including RB Ja'Terrian Douglas.

I know that Lee's defense will be pretty stout and, I'd like to check them out a couple of times this year as well. TCU has picked up two 2010 commitments from the Raiders off of the defense. DeSoto has ALOT coming back and, I'm very interested in how much QB Ryan Polite matures coming into the '09 season.

When is the JT/Lee game?

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

you are correct sir

The '09 Dunbar team will be MUCH better than last year's team. But, playing Abilene first game of the season last year did the Wildcats a big time favor. Everybody else that the Wildcats played after they played y'all, got slapped around like b:Censor:tches who didn't pay the pimp on time. Well, except for Stephenville anyway. Dunbar has everybody coming back this year as well, with the exception of QB Nicholas Rockwell. I'd like to see who Rockwell's replacement will be.

it was enjoyable to keep up with their success throughout the season...glad we could help in whatever way..

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

Oh, help them is one thing that y'all did do! Man, it sucked to be Molina the next week. That was who Dunbar played after playing y'all! I think, the final to that game was 60-0.

I know that you don't live in Abilene anymore but, do you, or anyone else, have an idea of how good Cooper will be in '09? I know that they lost their best DB to graduation so, I was just wondering who y'all thought would have to cover Darius White.

[BandidoNB]

not necessarily, NB Canyon tagged 4A state quarterfinalist Pflugerville Hendrickson with a loss, and Seguin beat 5A East Central also before competing in what David Campbell called the toughest 4A district in the state.

im not really sure about Cooper, havent really kept up with them as much as i have with Abilene high since i left town. im thinkin they got a kid named jevon powers that is a pretty good athlete, but idk what position he plays. but he is the DB/WR type

I'm pretty sure Jevon was a senior this year also. Cooper should have a solid team returning, but they (or anyone else in the nation for that matter) won't have anyone able to cover White. This past year against Abilene, when the QB was finally just able to throw the ball in his general direction, he went and got it.

AHS, and AE, thanks for y'all's input!

I didn't see the Abilene/Dunbar game last year but, I do know what you mean when you say that Darius, "went and got it". It's not fair to whoever is covering him! I did attend the Dunbar/South Oak Cliff game though! As many on this board know, SOC had Kevin Brent playing in the secondary and, Kevin, TRIED, to cover Darius during the game. Didn't work out too well for Kevin and, Kevin is a very good player.
