New District Strength Rankings

[AllenEagle06]

Now that the realignment is final, who would you rank as your top strongest districts?

Last year 26-5A, 6-5A, and 3-5A were the top 3. 26 and 3 didn't change much and the strongest schools from 6 (Trinity, SGP, and MacArthur) moved to 7. So 26-5A, 7-5A, and 3-5A would at least be in my top 5.

[Sicemhorns09]

15-5A without question!!! Jkjkjk

[KatyTigerDad0407]

175a - top 10

[Gridiron Gopher]

On the Mike and Mike show with ESPN they were discussing how big a deal the realignment was in Texas. They said the ratings had 265a as the toughest district in Texas High School football. I can agree with that.

You better believe 26-5A is the toughest. They showed in the playoffs that they were better than 12, which a good district. Last place in 26-5A next year will be a tough team. At worst, last place will probably be 2-5 in district and probably 4-6 or 5-5 overall.

175a - top 10
thanks, dad. very equal and competitive. they may not have gone deep in the playoffs in the past years, but recently are doing well. all teams are capable of doing it now.

[GarlandOwl06]

I wouldn't underestimate 9-5A, that district is full of power top to bottom.

With this past playoff season, I think 17-5a is finally on the map!!

Using Jerry's Texas Football Ratings. District 26 is most definitely the strongest. I looked at Jerry's 2005 Final Season Ratings for each team in each district and calculated an average rating per district. These are the results for the new 2006 Districts.

District 26 - 181.01
District 12 - 177.87
District 3 - 174.37
District 9 - 173.03
District 16 - 171.13
District 7 - 170.13
District 28 - 169.71
District 10 - 168.65
District 13 - 167.21
District 17 - 167.20
District 14 - 166.73
District 22 - 166.10
District 18 - 165.89
District 24 - 165.36
District 5 - 164.90
District 6 - 164.72
District 25 - 164.66
District 31 - 163.98
District 23 - 163.78
District 8 - 162.88
District 21 - 161.57
District 19 - 160.26
District 2 - 160.13
District 27 - 160.08
District 20 - 159.64
District 4 - 158.46
District 32 - 157.10
District 30 - 154.76
District 1 - 154.40
District 11 - 153.48
District 29 - 149.88
District 15 - 139.46

From this I will calculate the Strength of each Region.

[toonman]

Again using Jerry's ratings - the strength's of the Regions are as follows :-

Region 2 - 1317.55
Region 1 - 1309.99
Region 3 - 1309.80
Region 4 - 1301.16

Region 1 - 1309.99
Region 3 - 1309.80
Region 4 - 1301.16
You don't need numbers to see that Region 1 was the strongest last year. They won both championhsips.

Agreed - But this is the 2006 District Re-alignment, using 2005 Ratings for each and every 2006 district/team. Using your argument; Districts 5 and 7 must be the strongest districts. The Big 12 must be the strongest football college conference, NFC West - the NFC's strongest Division and the AFC North the AFC's Strongest Division – Do you agree with this assessment?

I don't remember talking about individual districts, the NFL, and College football.

[Gridiron Gopher]

I'm sure there are some very tough districts out there but 265a is just.....unbelievable! Teams like Mac, Reagan, Churchill could have won say 275a or 255a (IMO). You take a team like Mac who beat Clark (who took Madison down to the last minute of play in the playoffs) and beat a team like Boerne in Boerne (Boerne destroyed O'Conner) only ends up 5th in 265a. Now with no Lee it just gets tougher. There will be some very good teams not going to the playoffs in 265a.
As far as Wagner making the playoffs this year....that wont' happen. Maybe by year 3 but not now.

[Mad Hatter]

ill laugh if they do make the playoffs

I don't think Mac would have won 25 last year. In the pre season scrimmage, Seguin got the better of Mac.

LOL, the toughest district is in the worst Region. I LOVE LAREDO!!!!!

I agree about Wagner not making the playoffs, but they will put up more of a fight than Lee did, and I don't think they will be in last place of 26-5 at the end of next year. In fact, I don't think there will be a clear last place in 26-5 next year. It will be a tie between 2 or 3 teams.

I would`nt be surprised if Wagner pulls out a play off spot.They`ll have the atheletes,we`ll see if the coaches can pull it into a "team".Odds are they wont. Will see if Reagan,Judson,Churchill,Madison,Mac,and SV,can match thier play,or step it up from 2005.Roosevelt has a new head coach,and i heard there young.

[Gridiron Gopher]

I don't think Mac would have won 25 last year. In the pre season scrimmage, Seguin got the better of Mac.

SeguinMatadors, we all see things differently. Starters on Starters....Mac won that scrimmage 6-0. After Mac scored the coach from Seguin had the Seguin players on the bench reaping everone of them a new one. After that Mac went to 2nd and 3rd team players. If you won't to count 2nd and 3rd string players then yes I thought Segiun was deeper. Seguins D was solid but the offense was not.
After watching the playoffs, I'll stick to what I said. Any of Reagan, Churchill and Mac "could" have won 255a.

[CoveFan05]

even though this is a 5a site Im gonna be on here till next fall....16-4A was voted toughest 4a district in the state on some site said its the toughest in the state outta all classes...dont believe that though. Brownwood-good, Cove-good, Waco-good, University-no good, Midway-good, Killeen-no good

I agree that Wagner will win some games and put up a better game then Lee did last year. I also agree that they won't finish last in 265a.

Fair enough. Churchill, with Fanuzzi, could have won 25. All this is really an arguement that isn't worth having though. Who do you take out of our district if one of those teams is in? Do you take San Marcos, Seguin, or Clemens out? If so... Reagan, Churchill, and Mac have the same problem we did... not enough tough competition to improve ourselves as much as we needed to. If San Marcos, Clemens, or Seguin played in 26... they would have beem battle tested and a better team for it and if any of those 26 teams would have played in 25 they wouldn't have been the teams they were at the end of the season.

[SeguinMatadors]

I agree, Wagner wont make the playoffs but they will play some teams tough. I think Roosevelt finshes last.

You are right, but I was just wondering if your system of assessing strengths of a particular high schools geographical classification, translated into other football divisions, leagues, conferences etc. Hence my question to you.

13-5a lost waCo so we have it down

Dang, we're at the bottom huh?

[dragonsdaddy]

Dang, we're at the bottom huh?
what numbers were used for teams like wagner that didn't play last year? it is hard to believe that a district containing lp and twhs would be significantly behind/less powerful than an el paso district. somethingd amiss here.
