Who are you buying/selling/holding now that you've had an enormous amount of pre-season rankings to sift through?

It's never too early to go on the record.

[bowiedawgs01]

Are we going to be doing that game, or is that too much trouble?

I don't have any to sell from last year...

Buying: Judson, Austin Bowie, West Brook
Holding: Stony Point, Katy, Abilene

I'm basing this on return on investment...not necessarily most likely to win state.

Im buying Euless Trinity. They are the clear favorite right now I believe. Im also going to buy Klein Forest. I think Davis is going to have them rolling through the season.

Im going to sale Coppell. I just do not think there are quite there yet.

Im holding The Woodlands and DeSoto. But can they finally brake through and win it all.

I think too many people are discounting Klein now that the Senior heavy class of 2010 has graduated..most do not understand that we have another Senior heavy class taking over..and with several D-1 players stepping into major roles. The class of 2010 held the majority of the starting spots their Junior and Senior year. The younger guys who in my estimation are now equally as talented and athletic will have their chance to shine.

Discount them..but do not underestimate our new Coach's ability to get these guys in a position to succeed.

Hebron is pretty much a DII lock aren't they?
It will be interesting if SLC and Hebron play each other in the playoffs. For either one, a loss in that round will probably be viewed as a disappointment.

[E-Vol-ution]

While it's a bargain, I'll pick up some Arlington Lamar for safe keeping.

Hebron is a DII lock in this district so it's entirely possible SLC and Hebron could play right out of the gate. If I'm not mistaken isn't there a chance SLC could go DI?

Carroll would beat 5 of this site's Top 10. I can't figure out the < 25th best ranking. It's not 2002-06 but c'mon.

[slcdragonfan]

Hebron is a DII lock in this district so it's entirely possible SLC and Hebron could play right out of the gate. If I'm not mistaken isn't there a chance SLC could go DI?

If you look at the likely suspects, you have Keller, Coppell, Guyer, and SLC. I suspect Keller and Coppell are locks. But yes, I am pretty sure it is possible for us to go DI.

I an trying to locate the student enrollment now, can't seem to find it. If anyone can advise where that is I'd appreciate it.

Coppell, Keller, Keller Central and Northwest have larger enrollements than SLC. You have to figure Coppell will make the playoffs and if any one of the other 3 do, then SLC will be DII.

It would then come down to where Hebron and Carroll are seeded within their district whether or not they would play in the first round. One would have to be the top ranked DII school and the other the 2nd DII school.

[twcpfan1]

who do you think they would beat? just curious...

1,6,7,9,10

ET, Katy, Desoto, LP, Martin

Based upon what I hear, NW won't. Coppell will, one of those two Keller's should. That leaves us and Guyer for DII.

In size order:
Coppell 3064
Keller 2839
Keller Central 2756
Northwest 2720
Southlake Carroll 2513
Keller Fossil Ridge 2168.5 (.5 enrollment?????)
Denton Guyer 2074
Saginaw 2120

9 Lufkin
10 Arlington Martin

ET and Katy are very tough outs. Hard to call them so I won't. Abilene has an outstanding team coming back. However, I think they are vulnerable to a great passing attack. If we have a great passing attack, it could be interesting. No comment on RRSP, I'll just say they are the Austin ET. Westlake was very impressive indeed in the state game, esp considering they had a coaching change. But they have changed som personnel, I think they are vulnerable. DeSoto is a Coach's dream. They are like CHILL last year, but with a serious passing attack. But the questionmark is coaching. Got to prove himself in big games. KC I think is vulnerable, Lufkin I think is vulnerable, and Arlington is vulnerable.

We just need to see some games...

[LPack007]

SLC can definitely beat lufkin and DFW schools this year, but to say it's because of a psychological advantage is foolish. The years they beat Lp they also defeated 15 other teams each of those years and would have done the same to any Houston squad Imo.

Also some people were saying the same thing about the Woodz before they beat us at Abe last year..:rolleyes:

As long as DeKota Barnes is not back there I like our chances. Although the Klein defense looked pretty good last season.

On the other subjest to many years between SLC vs LP for it to be a advantage. Plus no dodge ball, and Lufkin will have one of the better defenses in the state next season to go along with Smiley and Walker. I think Walker is going to stun alot of people this season. I will even go as far to say he will push Lasco for the best RB in the district let just call it a hunch.

and would anybody really be suprised is SLC went 4-5 rounds deep. I know I wouldnt. They just seem to always reload

[Fleeman93]

Lufkin also is not the same program it was back when they were playing SLC in the state semis.

06 - 1 playoff win
07 - 1 playoff win
08 - 1 and out
09 - 1 and out

A top 10 ranking in this site is mind boggling. The psychological edge is similar to the one Lufkin has over Katy because they match up well against them and have never lost to them. I'm guessing that's why they get this much love on this site. And when you look at SLC's playoff resume over the last 3 or so years, it's a lot better than Lufkin's, and yet, Lufkin gets ranked 9 and SLC nowhere. Odd because SLC got so much love in the past. Maxtor must have really worn the Katy fans out in that Decade thread. This might have been his punishment :D

[slcdragonfan]

Comments like these make me think back to 31-0 and we can't lose. Always times for a first.

I've been pretty honest about this coming year. I haven't said "we can't lose". I have said not many have beaten us more than once this decade. That has a chance to be broken this coming year. My point was that we can actually still play some football in Southlake, contrary to some opinions.

[ftballin11]

Comments like these make me think back to 31-0 and we can't lose. Always times for a first.

I remember walking the streets in San Antonio in our game day shirts in 03'. It seemed that every SLC fan wanted to point out the 31-0. Not to mention the pick your poison on the message board. The whole time I'm thinking, Who the heck is SLC? I think we took it kind of personally.

[CyFallsMom]

Falls goes 8-2 this year......bank it.

we didn't even go 8-2 in the state year. And who are the "2"??

[CyFallsMom]

Thank you. People are making some pretty wild claims over the past few weeks.

They are STILL a young team this year. I agree. I would just hold onto the Falls stock since I would have already bought it last year when it was really cheap :D. There is a lot of hype and i hope it doesn't get into their psyche because it will not be an easy ride for any of these teams...least of all a really young one. Hopefully, they will handle it in an epic manner and we will all be talking about the stock going through the roof:)

After my girlfriend and I checked in at the Rivercenter we had the pleasure of riding the elevator up with a host of dragons. One of the dads said something to the effect of "I don't know but I think they are a small rice farming town" and "they have no idea what they are getting into." You should have seen the grin on my face.

Not last year on this board. My point is, you are taking a subset of arrogant folks on an elevator and using that to represent SLC. I believe I could pretty easily do the same. What makes you think Katy fans are that much different than SLC fans? I have been to Katy's last 3 state appearances and been around lots of Katy fans on the Riverwalk and in the hotel and in the stadium for those 3 years. I have heard plenty of talk, I just didn't take notes on it because I know some Katy fans and choose them to represent their fanbase.

But that's fine. Have at it.

Oh I agree about Katy fans. There were a lot saying Katy wouldn't lose to Cinco in 08 simply because they never had before which is just stupid. I didn't think Katy would lose to Cinco in 08 but it certainly wasn't because we never had before.

Highland Park Scots

Very good.

OK, to complete the list, from 1999 - 2009:
Losses only:
1999 - Keller, Fossil Ridge, Coppell
2000 - Wichita Falls, Haltom City, Highland Park, Grapevine, Wichita Falls (playoffs)
2001 - Ennis, Ft. Worth Boswell, Highland Park, Coppell, Waxahachie
2002 - NONE
2003 - Katy
2004 - NONE
2005 - NONE
2006 - NONE
2007 - Miami Northwest, Abilene
2008 - Coppell, Hebron, Cedar Hill
2009 - North Shore, Arlington Bowie

So more than one loss to a given team in the last 10 years?
Coppell has the most wins with 3 (1999, 2001, 2008)
Highland Park has 2 (2000, 2001)
Wichita Falls has 2 (both in 2000)

That's it.
