Next Years 5a state champs

[texasboy]

Alright here is goes your chance to say who you think will win state next year.
I say it is out of

Lufkin
Cy Falls
North Shore
Euless Trinty
Dallas Carter

These are my top five in order with the best chances of winning who are your top 5 picks?

[Slim-Rob]

Its still to early to call this. But if I had to:

Anybody out of 26-5A except Lee
SLC
uhhh....I don't know.

[DrEdward]

I hope that Carroll will be able to pull a truly unprecedented return to state for yet another year. :D That would truly be astounding given the reloading that they nust accomplish. However, I am impressed with Lufkin's returning squad and at this point give them the inside track.

Judson was at state in 90, 92, 93, 95, 96, 98. But they never went 5 times in a row. I put SLC on there because you can't count them out with only 1 loss in the last few years. I don't know about the other teams yet because it is still early yet.

[KT2000]

Carroll has to be on any list at this point. Until someone proves otherwise.

I remember Carroll lost a ton off of the 2002 team and made state again in 2003 after reloading. This isn't the first time they've had to replace a ton of production under Dodge or in their time as a 5A school.

[FeeltheHaka]

Southlake Carroll--easily

A&M Consolidated

Lufkin

Plano-depending on how many returning starters

[CyFallsMom]

I would put both Carroll and Katy on that list just because they know how to get there! BUT, they have to go up against our mighty Golden Eagles in that Championship game;)

[dragonsdaddy]

Southlake Carroll--easily

A&M Consolidated

Lufkin

Plano-depending on how many returning starters
slc may be the obvious choice based on history, but i'd say that lufkin would have to be the early favorite. of course if slc goes d-1, then i wouldn't be averse to seeing both slc and lp on tv. sv, kt, coju, and berkner as a dark horse.

[GTown02]

C'mon Garland has it in the bag! :p. Carroll?... pffft. Carroll doesnt have anything on Garland....


In all seriousness It should be a battle between Lufkin and SLC . Both return loads of talent as usual.

[slorch]

should we make reservations in the second weekend in Dec. for the semis to be at Texas Stadium with the Pack coming to meet SLC?
Also must consider Haka, Plano, and Hebron

In the south how can you not consider Katy, SV, or CJ? It seems like it doesn't even matter who graduates... these teams all know how to get back!

[YuccaRoot]

No particular order, but "some" teams that will be in the hunt:

SLC - can someone figures out how to stop.
Lufkin - excellent talent returning from an excellent team
Katy - just know how to win and reload each each year.
Cy Falls - lots of experienced players returning from a deep playoff run.
A&M Consolidated - loaded with talent; senior class is use to winning.
Galena Park Northshore - speed, size and they know what to do with it.
Converse Judson - New school could take away some talent.
The Woodlands - talented, but talent must jell and elevate level of play.
Austin Westlake - winning program with a big-time QB.
Garland - lots of talent returning from a very good team.
Richardson Berkner - Big and a great QB/RB brother tandem.
Euless Trinity - Defending State Champs
Longview - loss lots of talent, but they tend to reload
Tyler Lee - win be more focused this year than last year

[GTown02]

ET wont be a state factor next season IMO. They lose too much in that entire backfield. The only real shine coming back next season is their TE Scoggins.

nice post...

[Drake]

My darkhorse Region 3 Champ is Westbrook... I feel like they're well coached, full of talent, and will probably have some new faces from a PAM program in disarray...

[PackAttack2005]

I am going to step out on a limb here. Too early to tell anything, but I going to venture a guess that "easily" will not be in Southlakes vocabulary in 2006.

Lufkin will be good again because they have a ton of talent coming back, as will several other programs like AMC, who also have great talent returning.

Lest we forget, SLC is losing 52 seniors to graduation this year, I don't care how good your system is, that will be tough for them to overcome for 2006.

[thebiggestfan]

No particular order

The Woodlands

yeah i know! thats why i threw them in there as an outside chance... maybe even a darkhorse:eek:

[t00 playa]

No particular order

The Woodlands
North Shore (03 was amazing)
A&M Consolidated
Westfield
Lufkin

I didnt put the woodlands because i really dont know what they had coming back... how is it looking over there?:eek:

[Slim-Rob]

yeah i know! thats why i threw them in there as an outside chance... maybe even a darkhorse:eek:

lol, im glad you knew I was kidding. Maybe NS can go D2 and win it. Cause Judson has D1 on lock:D

[t00 playa]

lol, im glad you knew I was kidding. Maybe NS can go D2 and win it. Cause Judson has D1 on lock:D


well no chance of going D2 thats for sure for us.... D1 is our place.... maybe we will hook up this upcoming year....... 96' still haunts me.... so hope we have a chance to even the series.... would be fantastic:eek:

[Slim-Rob]

well no chance of going D2 thats for sure for us.... D1 is our place.... maybe we will hook up this upcoming year....... 96' still haunts me.... so hope we have a chance to even the series.... would be fantastic:eek:

LOL, '96 haunts my brother. That state championship game was bad

LOL, '96 haunts my brother. That state championship game was bad


u quit bringing that up bad memories.....:(

[Slim-Rob]

u quit bringing that up bad memories.....:(

lol. My bro kills me when I bring up that game. haha

[pack4life]

Lufkin takes it all in 06'.

[Aggie]

In no particular order..

Lufkin- Returns the most talent in the state. Great running back, O and D line will be solid, will put one of the best secondarys in the state on the field, great kicker.

A&M Consol- standout running back, wide receiver and kicker returning. D line and linebackers will lead one of the best defenses in the state. Team that is starting to learn how win and win big like they did in 4A. Question is consistency atQB. Best kicker in the state

Cy Falls- Solid running back and quaterback along with a dominant D line anchor this team.

Katy- team knows how to win, good players coming back at the running back, receiver, D line and secondary. Will have one of the best linebacking corps in the state..? is O line.

Southlake Carroll- nothing needs to be said

[HUM398]

I would have to say North shore takes the Div 1 crown. they are full of talent and run a really good system. plus westfield is not in there region and is in mist of a reloading stage.

s

[dragons08]

my vote= Southlake Carroll :D

[Mad Hatter]

lefkin is kinda like longview ... each year u guys say weve got the most talent returning were going all the way and each year u guys watch the game from the couch...ill go with SLC.

[ktCarl]

Alright here is goes your chance to say who you think will win state next year.
I say it is out of

Lufkin
Cy Falls
North Shore
Euless Trinty
Dallas Carter

These are my top five in order with the best chances of winning who are your top 5 picks?

Cy-Falls?

[KT2000]

my vote= Southlake Carroll :D

Given the recent trend you have a 75% chance of being right and 100% chance of making it to the state game. I'd take those odds. :D

[slorch]

lefkin is kinda like longview ... each year u guys say weve got the most talent returning were going all the way and each year u guys watch the game from the couch...ill go with SLC.

semis 3 out of the last 4 years with all losses coming at the hands of the mighty Dragons. Lufkin's still not a bad pick. Where's Longview been?

[PackAttack2005]

Longview has been sitting on the couch and will do the same in 2006 along with about 230 other teams.

[HebronHawk]

The Hebron Hawks (District 6-5A) will contend. :)

didn't lufkin graduate their o-line, or was i thinking of someone else?

[KT2000]

Lufkin returns basically their entire line intact including three all district selections.

[BigtimeO-line]

We're going to win State..., and dont wast your typing trying to deny me, because nothng's going to change my mind... no one considers us for anything, and thats such a motivation... so good luck to all of the teams, we'll see ya'll at the Texas Bowl in December, we'll be the ones stretching on the field in the black and gold... :D

Good luck..if you don't believe you can do it..no one will!

[cyfallsbooster]

Cy-Falls?
Have to agree with the question mark.

It is funny how the wind blows each year. Last season during the playoffs lots of posters were knocking falls due to the 6-4 record going in. Now several are suggesting a state contender. Falls still has a lot to accomplish and prove before they should be considered.

You're right and thanks for understanding that I wasn't dissing Falls either. Maybe they WILL make another good run????? Ya never know until game time.

Winning starts somewhere, and with the young team that "grew up" in the playoffs, they really got and extra 1/2 season of experience against outstanding competition. I wasn't predicting Falls to be the next Powerhouse.
My thinking was that they could leverage their run in the POs last year into a solid team again this year.

[beachbum0x6]

SMITHSON VALLEY!!!! I know it might just be beacuse I love SV's football, but I have 2 be loyal.

Don't want to predict how far they could go, but have heard that the talent is there to make a serious run. Some of the seniors were starters as sophomores who went to the regional finals two years ago. That makes 7 playoff games in which they have been a starter. This is a class that could dominate, but you we'll see.

i hope slc does it, i think we might be capable of doing it again next year. but right now, i think lufkin is looking good for a state championship victory. imo.

[Humblefied]

I'm not saying Humble is going to wipe out but I will say they have returning starting linemen and thats 5 of them. Should be a nice bunch of groups for our star Reggie Brown to come up with. this will definetly be Humble's last run at anything for a while since the schools are splitting next year.

[a&mconsoltiger]

we gone win it,

[PackAttack2005]

AMC, your coach is Jim Slaughter, right?. I remember when he coached as HC and AD at Lufkin from 1992-1994. He was 14-18-1 while at Lufkin. His final year in 1994 was his best @ 7-5-1 and getting Lufkin to the third round of the Div. I playoffs, losing to Plano 38-14. Overall, I was never impressed with his program building skills.

He left Lufkin for the Richarson school district in 1995, then ended up at AMC a few years later.

Ironically, Lufkin lost to AMC in a 1994 non-district game.

1994
Beaumont Central Win 24-21
Conroe Loss 27-17
Jacksonville Win 24-17
Jasper Loss 27-9
A & M Consolidated Loss 24-6
Longview TIE 7-7
Tyler Lee Win 34-21
John Tyler Loss 31-30
Marshall Win 20-10
Nacogdoches Win 38-18 Division I Rep District Runner up
Killeen Win 28-14
Klein (Region) Win 31-12
Plano (QTR) Loss 38-14
Team Finished: (7-5-1)

[dmc 77]

personally i think lufkin will have their second state championship crown. been one win shy to many times the past few years, could not get by SLC. they have won those games lately... but i think they will lose at least two games next year and maybe the same the year after. losing too many players and i think other coaches are beginning to figure out how to play their style of ball. this is my prediction... so let's hear from everyone. :cool:

[PackAttack2005]

DMC, you finally signed up. You took Dux up on his dare didn't you.

[dragons08]

i hope slc does it, i think we might be capable of doing it again next year. but right now, i think lufkin is looking good for a state championship victory. imo.
cant show that negativity before games..almost cost us the grapevine game... you remember that dude? talking about the cakewalk schedule, how we needed a test..and gpvine almost beat us..

Thanks, Dragon. See you in 7 on 7.

Why are people talking about plano? If anyone out of 9-5 it should be Allen. But when Allen busts out in the playoffs, then yall will know whats going down in Allen

[dragonsdaddy]

allen will have their hands full winning district. you will likely go d-2 which brings lufkin into your schedule. good luck with that.

[HebronHawk]

No reason why Hebron (6-5A) can't go far in the D2 playoffs this year.

[PackAttack2005]

You would still possibly have play Lufkin. Region 2 Division II 5A competition can not be compared to anything Hebron has experienced in 4A to this point. Southlake and Smithson Valley made that big transition to 5A in 2002, but they didn't travel through Region II playoff teams in their first year either. They have since prospered in 5A competition. What little I know about Lewisville Hebron tells me you have a good program in the works, so nothing is impossible, as Southlake proved in 2002 and every year since then. Whatever happens, it will be fun making the transition to 5A and playing a bunch of new teams.

[LUFPAN]

Hard to pick against SLC. Your still the king of the mountain till somebody knocks you off and they've been up there a long time. The team that has the best chance of pushing them off the mountain would probally be Lufkin.

actually, hebron is reg 1 thus may have slc in round 2.

[PackAttack2005]

DD, thanks for clearing that up for me. Your right, he said Div. II and not Region II. Either way, the move up will be an experience for them.

[HebronHawk]

actually, hebron is reg 1 thus may have slc in round 2.

If we both win district, then the earliest we could meet in the playoffs would be the Regional finals (Round 4) in the new brackets.

[HUM398]

Humblefield made the comment that Humble would win State. its a possibility, but i wouldnt go out and make projections.

and Humblefield, Humble will be fine the coming years the humble area is filled with talent and alot of them dont get to play because Seniors and JRs get the spots. The best dont always play, the oldest do. thats one of many problems with the Program. remember they are groomed at humble to play football. There will be plenty of talent to keep the playoff runs coming especially the next 2 years with the district we play in.

[AllenEagles07]

Allen!!!!

[dragonsdaddy]

no we will go d1 with pesh b/c were the second biggest and they send 2 to d1 and 2 to d2 right?
plano sr and pesh will probably make the po's, sending allen to d-2. both are larger than allen.

[AllenEagles07]

i think itll be allen berkner east and .....plano or west i dno

[dragonsdaddy]

i think itll be allen berkner east and .....plano or west i dno

Thurgood Marshall High School will win the State Championship this year

[Drake]

Thurgood Marshall High School will win the State Championship this yearWhy? No offense, but you had 17 seniors last year that received college scholarships and you didn't make it out of bi-district... I'm assuming those guys WON'T be back... Just interested in your reasoning for such a bold prediction...

i agree with him totally and i think we will go 10-0
but thats just me soo.. yah GO ALLEN!!

[BHS03]

I will be VERY surprised if any team makes it out of 9-5A with a 10-0 record.

[BigtimeO-line]

Why? No offense, but you had 17 seniors last year that received college scholarships and you didn't make it out of bi-district... I'm assuming those guys WON'T be back... Just interested in your reasoning for such a bold prediction...

i agree with you they wont be back and they will be missed, but from what i am seeing we will probably have the same number of signees this season, and we have some very talented class of 08' athletes coming out of their "silly" phase and are getting serious (thanks to a "gut - checking" offseason), our team chemistry and discipline will be at its best this year, and if i have to, i will carry my team on my back, Coach looks to me to be a leader to this team, and i will be, and i will not let my team down especially because those underclassmen look up to me and the rest of these seniors.

The difference between my school and most of the schools in this state is that we are a (somewhat city) "BRAND NEW" 94% African American school and its sad to say, but there are alot more problems and distractions that the athletes have to deal with, and with that said we have NO tradition or history unlike other schools, we are going to be the base and foundation of this program for years to come, and to build this tradition and foundation it takes alot more work than schools that dont have our problems. and it all starts and ends with our football team no matter how good the other sports are, it ends with us, this is Texas remember... so with that said i believe this is the year, with all my heart my senior year is the year where we lift our community up, with more than just community service, or giving under - priveledged kids christmas gifts at our local elementary school, or discouraging gang activity, We plan to give them that plus, Missouri City's first 5A State Championship.

^^^^^ wow, got carried away up there huh... this post is LONG!!!!! :D

There will be plenty of talent to keep the playoff runs coming especially the next 2 years with the district we play in.

I didn't say that they would win state although all the football players are talking about it. And not sure how they will be the next two years with the school splitting. I know linemen that are going to AHS and an upcoming running back and quarterback going to AHS. The next two years won't be the usual Humble, but I guess thats why we have channelview in our district, right?

Who was really good that didn't play? I know one senior guy last year that was starter worthy but he didn't because he just moved from North Shore and didn't know the plays.

Anyway, in a year or two our humble area is supposed to expand and we will have the same talent. Supposedily 10,000 students in the area. thats pretty crazy.

[HUM398]

Humble has always had Extrodinary talent, and Good players. To me the splitting of the Schools wont really affect them. The humble area is growing very fast, and replacing the talent wont be that hard. We will do Fine, Plus we have yet to go to state so as long as we make it to the playoff and make it to the 2nd or 3rd round we are doing the usual.

But you are right on the mark. One of Humbles Toughest teams is going to Emerge in 06. They are packed with speed and size especially there Defense. Our offense is packing a very Dangerous weapon in Reggie Brown( who by the way is remarkable) and our go to reciever K. Dabney. They are a very Hungrey Team, somthing the last two years have failed....Remember before the Laporte game..Humble didnt want to practice over the Thanksgiving Break....that doesnt come off as Hungery for a Championship to me...This year is VERY DIFFRENT! i wont make any predictions about state but they will make a run.

i just wish Westfield would of been in our district again to get back at them for 2 years of Smacking us silly. and go back to the way it was Before when Humble dominated Westfield.( the 90's)

Humble's best chance to win a championship was in 2003. They had a very potent offense and their defense was good. Unfortunately for them, they ran into a more potent offense and problably the best HS defense ever in North Shore.

I agree.. that was the best humble team i had seen in years....:eek:

[HUM398]

Thats true 03 was a good year for Humble. To bad for us Jerrod Johnson was a freshman and playing WR at the time...lol...but realisticly North shore was to Big and Fast for us to keep up....this wont be a weak spot in 06..plenty of speed, our question is QB. Other then that we are pretty well spread out.

North shore and humble will probaly meet next year in the playoffs...It should be a Really good game...or just a complete Spanking by North shore. i still have North shore as my Fav to win State. Humble isnt a sure thing...they never are.

If we face North shore it will be about perfection. And north shore has the huge upper hand

[Drake]

i agree with you they wont be back and they will be missed, but from what i am seeing we will probably have the same number of signees this season, and we have some very talented class of 08' athletes coming out of their "silly" phase and are getting serious (thanks to a "gut - checking" offseason), our team chemistry and discipline will be at its best this year, and if i have to, i will carry my team on my back, Coach looks to me to be a leader to this team, and i will be, and i will not let my team down especially because those underclassmen look up to me and the rest of these seniors.

The difference between my school and most of the schools in this state is that we are a (somewhat city) "BRAND NEW" 94% African American school and its sad to say, but there are alot more problems and distractions that the athletes have to deal with, and with that said we have NO tradition or history unlike other schools, we are going to be the base and foundation of this program for years to come, and to build this tradition and foundation it takes alot more work than schools that dont have our problems. and it all starts and ends with our football team no matter how good the other sports are, it ends with us, this is Texas remember... so with that said i believe this is the year, with all my heart my senior year is the year where we lift our community up, with more than just community service, or giving under - priveledged kids christmas gifts at our local elementary school, or discouraging gang activity, We plan to give them that plus, Missouri City's first 5A State Championship.

^^^^^ wow, got carried away up there huh... this post is LONG!!!!! :DWell, you seem to have the attitude to get it done... By the way, if I were a Marshall supporter I wouldn't want you thinking any other way... Sounds like you have a future in football beyond high school so keep working hard and best of luck to you and the 2006 Buffaloes...

[BigtimeO-line]

thank you for the support, and best of luck to the Crusaders this season...

Being young allows you to dream big. Their is a big old world outside Allen.:)

There are so many students there at Allen, they kind of have their own world..that or maybe the band is so loud, it scrambles their brains...:eek:

[pack0808]

Humble almost always underachieves and usually falters at the end of the regular season and playoffs. They have some nice talent but the chemistry is just not there to last a season.


On Allen's band, How the heck does that band director get that many kids to join the band? He did the same when he was at Abilene Cooper. Does he pay them? ;)

I agree with you. I would say there Chemistry is a concern, but there is somthing different about the 06-07 team. They seem to be all on the same page. That has been somthing thats been missing. In 04 the QB didnt care for a win or loss, either way he was going to have fun that weekend(and he was suspended for sleeping with a teacher). Other players such as there DB, played games Drunk. Hence there 5-5 season. in 05 the team just didnt rally together,alot of young guys and a coaching change. This year im hoping that there excitment and focus gets them where they want to go. a stat championship.....well see...

i respect what you are saying but every team that has been good in the past and has not done real well for a couple of years is using the same "everyone is on the same page this year" excuse. lets hope they really are this time

Slc

Right now it's hard to imagine any team but SLC being the '06 5-A St. Champs. They may have a close game or two, but judging fm. their history, they'll find a way to pull through.

i dont know what he does but we do have alot. we dont have as many kids as east or plano.you can walk through the hallways and see someone new everyday.but if you think allen wont be good next year then you in for a reality check come this fall. plano is the first district game at home. i hope they get embarrsed like they did to us last season.

I wonder when the day will come when people realize that they just have a bad team:confused:

I wonder when the day will come when people realize that they just have a bad team:confused:


uhhh... how is allen a bad team?:mad: weve been in the playoffs every year since 99 and have either been the district champs or the runner up every year and gotten past the first round of the playoffs every year.

we have almost everyone returning including our qb nathan dick and our wr's and our rb charles O. not to mention the defense! which is going to be much better than last years, more speed and strength and natural talent.

soo how are we a bad team again?

because yall choke every year. Its always a short year for allen. and let me rephrase that when are people going to ealize there team is not as good as they think they are. sorry for saying ya'll were bad.

picking a region that doesn't require playing slc before the finals is not really allen's fault. would you say sv choked if they had to lose to slc in the second or third round? i guess not.

[alnegle07]

no its not that we choke its that we played the state champs and #1 team in the nation in the playoffs 3years straight!

[CKE]

picking a region that doesn't require playing slc before the finals is not really allen's fault. would you say sv choked if they had to lose to slc in the second or third round? i guess not.

yes because SV might have choked. just like they did in state when the let a 60 yard bomb go after a blocked punt. you cant put SV and Allen in the same place. just like you cant put lufkin or katy in the same place as allen. if you did then SLC might have not even reached the state game

[CKE]

no its not that we choke its that we played the state champs and #1 team in the nation in the playoffs 3years straight!

so are you saying that if you were to play a team like SV, Katy, Lufkin, judson,trinity, or westfield then ya'll would have made it past the third round. im sorry for saying yall were bad and i take that back it was the wrong use of words i really just want to have a good convo. about this.

oh its ok! me 2.

what i mean by this whole convo. is this year i hope that Allen is as good as ya'll think ya'll can be. i never wish a team has a bad year and if ya'll are as good as ya'll say you are going to be then go out and beat SLC this year. shock the nation:D

since we were x-1 vs all those teams, i'm not sure i follow your reasoning. i don't call it choking just because it was in the earlier rounds. sv didn't choke either year, and neither did allen, imo.

Aint that the truth...chemistry is important. You know the difference in this group though is that they have won district and have gone undefeated for every game of since their freshman careers. That doesnt mean anything though, but state is certainly ringing in the Humble football locker room a little early this year and to me thats a good thing. It will be interesting to see if they can pull it together. Choking habits usually get us such as the 05 season. That is the one thing I always respected about the Katy team is that they may not have been able to boast about thier outstanding (they do have alot though) yet the thing I really like is they way they play together. Hopefully Humble can get some of that this year.

[HUM398]

I have to say it is a very impressive group coming up. they should be excitied and i hope they stay excited. This is group is strong and i am hoping they bring the state championship to Humble. i personally cant wait to see how Reggie Brown Preforms

[KT2000]

I remember hearing about an amazing JV running back you had last fall who was a sophomore. I can't remember the name though.

[HUM398]

I remember hearing about an amazing JV running back you had last fall who was a sophomore. I can't remember the name though.

That would be Reggie Brown. The boy has so much potential. I think that if he would of played this year that i would of been a diffrent Humble team. He is amazing. keep an eye out for him, he is going to do big things.

[Humblefied]

I remember hearing about an amazing JV running back you had last fall who was a sophomore. I can't remember the name though.

yea jared malone. He is very quick and will do wonders for us in the number two slot. He is currently running track and not really running hard due to his trying to stay healthy. But we also had a junior that played running back and corner back for us on j.v. when malone was injured for a while. In the game against the woodlands we had 5 different running backs because everyone was playing both sides and getting injured. The junior that played corner though scored 3 TDs and had a couple of nice runs.

[Humblefied]

No it was malone. Brown didn't play remember since he tore his ligaments in his knee during 7 on 7.

[HUM398]

No it was malone. Brown didn't play remember since he tore his ligaments in his knee during 7 on 7.

Ok yeah, i remember...Is malone a junior this year?
I dont know why i thought it was brown?

[Humblefied]

No, and I think that is great. He is only a sophmore and he could have been the fastest kid at Humble this year.

[ktchamp97]

The talk about Humble truly is interesting. If it is as y'all claim, and the guys really are rallying together, then the sky is the limit. The key is maintaining that team focus through the summer and through the long, difficult season. If you don't have some really strong team leaders to keep everyone focused and accountable to one another, you will never reach your full potential as a group. There are only a handful of teams around the state that consistently have as much talent as Humble...that has never been a problem. If that 'team' concept can permeate the Humble program, they will be a juggernaut.

I've done a good bit of research on Regions 1-3 (I haven't gotten to Region 4 yet) and the 'State Champion' caliber teams look to be...

Lufkin - barring major preseason injuries or transfers, the Panthers look like the team to beat
SLC - the numbers 63 and 1 come to mind...that Dodge kid and that Newton kid are pretty good too
North Shore - if they had a proven QB returning, they could make a case for #1
Hebron - riding a 16 game winning streak with a ton of key players back
Garland - if Malcolm Williams is fully healed and they are able to score some points, the defense should be plenty good enough to make GoOwls63666999sldkfaj;slkdjf's username even longer
Katy - tremendously talented young nucleus of players, plus there's that three year thing...'97, '00, 03', 06'? ;)

There are other teams that certainly look to have a chance, and, again I haven't gotten to Region 4 yet, but the teams I listed look to be a cut above the rest. The list is certainly subject to change pending more information. :D

[HUM398]

Thanks for that information. very insightful. Let us know when your done with your studying. Its good reading.

[RidgePride]

This Sounds crazy, but I think SLC will at least get to the state championship for the next 3 yrs.

SLC will win it all next year too.

[HebronHawk]

actually, hebron is reg 1 thus may have slc in round 2.

If I understand the brackets correctly, and both SLC and Hebron win their districts, we would meet no earlier than Round 4 out of 6.

I agree. If Fizer can handle the QB position like he has the potential to do so....then NS could be again in the top 8 or so teams that have a chance of winning state....

all this Humble talk.... Humble always has some really good teams in the same years that NS has really good teams.... would NS and humble have a good chance of meeting in an early round again with the new 4th team added?:eek:

[CoppellCowboy57]

Coppell...enough said

*caughs*

anyway...

SLC...there still #1 until someone beats um

[YuccaRoot]

ktchamp97,

Interesting that your research doesn't include A&M Consolidated as a State championship caliber team. My opinion is Coach Slaughter has some outstanding talent and has worked hard to get them strong, quick, and more importantly built a strong purposive bond among the palyers.

Your take on A&M Consol...
Lack of talent?
Lack of coaching?
Lack of both talent and coaching?
Lack of just having "it"?
or haven't researched them yet?

I'm not being critical...just curious why you find a fast/strong athletic A&M Consol team not to be worthy of being a State championship contender given it will be more talented/experienced than last year and A&M Consol didn't lose a single coach.

[HUM398]

I agree. If Fizer can handle the QB position like he has the potential to do so....then NS could be again in the top 8 or so teams that have a chance of winning state....

Most def., I am hoping it happens. I wanna see a good game. And this years humble team i think can deliver

[Plano]

ok so i'm sorry but hebron??? come on last year was a once in a lifetime deal, honestly they should have pulled a highland park and missed the 5a mark by 1 or 2 students cause after this year there gonna be hurting they might win 3 or 4 but no way for a state contention, NO WAY. SLC were gonna be back and if you thought last year was tough you got somethin coming. And to all you allen people your getting really cocky and if your playing at clark this year well then i dont care if you got reggie bush in the backfield we'll still win. finnally we got one of the toughest schedules in our district, our first two games are away and hard not to mention DC at home, but we can win and come next year we gonna have one ring for a national championship one ring for state and we might even just get one for area haha

[Plano]

Plano.

[Humblefied]

Most def., I am hoping it happens. I wanna see a good game. And this years humble team i think can deliver

I think all of Humble's best games will come in the playoffs and not really looking forward to seeing much except for the PAM and WB games in the regular season.

[lonny23]

Carroll has to be on any list at this point. Until someone proves otherwise.

I remember Carroll lost a ton off of the 2002 team and made state again in 2003 after reloading. This isn't the first time they've had to replace a ton of production under Dodge or in their time as a 5A school.
Risky pick, there 2000!:p

[lonny23]

should we make reservations in the second weekend in Dec. for the semis to be at Texas Stadium with the Pack coming to meet SLC?
Also must consider Haka, Plano, and Hebron

In the south how can you not consider Katy, SV, or CJ? It seems like it doesn't even matter who graduates... these teams all know how to get back!
I break it down by regions. I'd have to see a lot to change these picks for the Final 8:

SLC
Lufkin
Katy
SV
Judson

You need a D1R1 team and that might be Trinity again. Somebody said Berkner, so maybe it's them.

The hype is with A&M Consolidated so maybe they get D1R2.

If I was guessing right now, I'd say North Shore for D1R3.

Summary:

Trinity or Berkner vs. A&M Consolidated
North Shore vs. Judson

SLC vs. Lufkin
Katy vs. SV

I'll change my mind if somebody steps up and those guys fall off.

[lonny23]

well no chance of going D2 thats for sure for us.... D1 is our place.... maybe we will hook up this upcoming year....... 96' still haunts me.... so hope we have a chance to even the series.... would be fantastic:eek:
If Judson plays North Shore, I'm looking for you.

[lonny23]

LOL, '96 haunts my brother. That state championship game was bad
Everybody knows that title game was a fluke!:D

Take that Farmerfan!:p

He knows I have a lot of respect for that 96 team that ran for over 500 yards on Judson.

[GoOwls]

i agree with him totally and i think we will go 10-0
but thats just me soo.. yah GO ALLEN!!

That is one really tough district you are in now. You may not make the playoffs, much less go 10-0.

I got a feeling you will lose the first game for sure.:D

[lonny23]

step up..maybe i should step up my game now to with te competion? :p
The competition passed you a long time ago!:p

[lonny23]

:eek:you finally got a dictionary?
No, he spelled abysmal wrong, too!:D

[lonny23]

no, i acuttaly use big words, not all the time, but i do use them, when i dont need them i dont use them
I don't care if you use punctuation, but can you please spell actually right? If you're going to use that word all the time at least spell it correctly. I don't care about most of the misspelled words.

[lonny23]

because yall choke every year. Its always a short year for allen. and let me rephrase that when are people going to ealize there team is not as good as they think they are. sorry for saying ya'll were bad.

I'm sure GoOwls would like a longer name. Yeah, I talked about that 3 year thing a couple years ago.

Until I hear something different, I'm going to say Judson and SV get out of Region 4 and put up a good fight in the semis.

OK, I'll be serious now. I went to school before they got computers and they started the big computer craze right before I entered high school. I took typing in high school and I think the problem with spelling is that we have spell check on computers. People don't learn how to spell because they depend on the computer doing it for them. What they don't realize is that the computer doesn't catch if they use the wrong spelling of a word that sounds alike.

What they don't realize is that the computer doesn't catch if they use the wrong spelling of a word that sounds alike.

When I was in grade school in the Garland ISD, from 1964 through 1970, we had 20 spelling words per week, or, 5 points per word to make a 100. We were tested on Friday. We were also given 8 bonus words that counted 2 points each. We could make a 116 on our test if we got everything right. The teachers got our competitive juices flowing by making it competitive within the classroom by giving recognition to the highest scorer/scorers each week and of the 3 classes in our grade, the class with the highest average grade got to control the playground equipment for the next week. It doesn't seem like much, but it was big to us. We would form groups and drill each other on our spelling for the bragging rights. We found out later that the bonus words were always at least 3 grade levels above where we were.

Now they grade you on if you get close or not.

No wonder they are morons, or at least appear to be when they type or write. It's not their fault, it's the ISD's and the weak a$$ parents.

OK, I'll be serious now. I went to school before they got computers and they started the big computer craze right before I entered high school. I took typing in high school and I think the problem with spelling is that we have spell check on computers. People don't learn how to spell because they depend on the computer doing it for them. What they don't realize is that the computer doesn't catch if they use the wrong spelling of a word that sounds alike.

When I was in grade school in the Garland ISD, from 1964 through 1970, we had 20 spelling words per week, or, 5 points per word to make a 100. We were tested on Friday. We were also given 8 bonus words that counted 2 points each. We could make a 116 on our test if we got everything right. The teachers got our competitive juices flowing by making it competitive within the classroom by giving recognition to the highest scorer/scorers each week and of the 3 classes in our grade, the class with the highest average grade got to control the playground equipment for the next week. It doesn't seem like much, but it was big to us. We would form groups and drill each other on our spelling for the bragging rights. We found out later that the bonus words were always at least 3 grade levels above where we were and often were high school level in the 5th and 6th grades.

Now they grade you on if you get close or not.

Sorry for the double post. This one is the right one. I tried to edit it and made a mistake. Staying up too late.

It's that "Dumbing Down of America" syndrome. It's pretty worrisome. It's hard for teachers & professors anywhere to maintain any kind of standards--prob. hard for coaches, too. And I won't even say anything about the "4 playoff reps. fm. ea. dist." thing.

[HebronHawk]

ok so i'm sorry but hebron??? come on last year was a once in a lifetime deal, honestly they should have pulled a highland park and missed the 5a mark by 1 or 2 students cause after this year there gonna be hurting they might win 3 or 4 but no way for a state contention, NO WAY. SLC were gonna be back and if you thought last year was tough you got somethin coming. And to all you allen people your getting really cocky and if your playing at clark this year well then i dont care if you got reggie bush in the backfield we'll still win. finnally we got one of the toughest schedules in our district, our first two games are away and hard not to mention DC at home, but we can win and come next year we gonna have one ring for a national championship one ring for state and we might even just get one for area haha

Hebron is more than ready for 5A competition. We had over 250 kids in the program last year as a 4A school. We are already at 2200 and growing.

The Freshman team was 10-0 as both JV teams were 10-0 as well. Hebron 26-1 (past two seasons) has plenty of depth and talent.

Granted a big school in Plano is one over 5,000 in enrollment but when did Plano get it's last State Championship. You ran into a "buzz saw" in Texas Stadium last year.

Hebron's State Championship was no fluke. I'm not guaranteeing one next year but we will be a contender.

[dragonsdaddy]

one thing is guaranteed. plano won't have to eat his words after hebron kicks his teams butt, as they will never meet. this same ignorant bravado was being spewed by lisd supporters and 5aists in the metromess during april 02, about slc stepping into a big 5a buzzsaw. hebron has what it takes to be successful at any level. after seeing a neighbor break into 5a fairly successfully, they have confidence and are ready. i hope their district mates are.

Ouch!! That stings!

[SvFootball]

I'm Just curious why nobody has Smithson Valley on any of their lists. We have proven we know what it takes to get there and The team just keeps getting better. I think that the same teams that make it there all rge time will be there. it will be a season the same as it has for the last 4 years.

Please proof read your post kid. I like what you saying, but clarify with some type of argument and not just a flat statement. Sorry, but you sound like a very young kid. Man, I'm starting to sound like the message board police for SV.

[XSVRanger]

Lol, I'm a young kid too. If I say anything inaccurate please feel free to turn on the sirens. My arguement: SV's junior class next year is argueably the best in school history, and our coaching staff has a reputation for making the most of what they have. When kids see their team get close and lose year after year, it makes them want to be the ones to get it done even more.

[lonny23]

ouch low blow
I almost picked somebody else, but you guys fit best.

It seems like I asked you that question last year!:D I know I asked somebody about this year.

He knows I wanted his boys to take state last year. I'd be glad for them to get over the hump.

[lonny23]

Ouch!! That stings!
I wanted to say Lufkin, but SV is the one who loses title games.

yes lonny you are dont worry man lol

[ktchamp97]

ktchamp97,

Interesting that your research doesn't include A&M Consolidated as a State championship caliber team. My opinion is Coach Slaughter has some outstanding talent and has worked hard to get them strong, quick, and more importantly built a strong purposive bond among the palyers.

Your take on A&M Consol...
Lack of talent?
Lack of coaching?
Lack of both talent and coaching?
Lack of just having "it"?
or haven't researched them yet?

I'm not being critical...just curious why you find a fast/strong athletic A&M Consol team not to be worthy of being a State championship contender given it will be more talented/experienced than last year and A&M Consol didn't lose a single coach.

At the time of that post, I didn't have all of the information on AMC. Just recently, Coach Slaughter sent me some great info. The Tigers look to be loaded and I do expect them to contend for state.

[TexasRed6x]

Sv, Katy, possibly ET and SLC. All of them are candidates on my list.
