SORTED DATA FOR DIV-II

One stop for every quarter? Really? How many teams win state championships with that mentality. I know sixman is exciting with lots of scoring but at the end of the day it is similar to 11 man in that defense wins championships.

You know, if you go into every opponent's possession thinking that this is the time your defense is going to get their "one stop" this quarter, chances are you may get a couple stops each quarter. And if my feeble memory is correct, Austin Hill Co. Christian had some pretty solid teams around that time (2005-2007).

And yes, Defense wins championships. Offense wins all the other bowl games.

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated this, but I've updated it today.
Some pretty interesting stats have popped up.. like who knew that spring branch living rock and freddy were putting up that many points? Like freeagent says, defense wins championships, offense wins the other bowl games- so with that in mind, I like looking at the difference column, which I think gives us a somewhat of a better picture on how the team is overall defensively and offensively. Also keep in mind that points and stats aren't everything, that's why games are played on the field, not paper.
Another trend I see is longview christian heritage consistently near the top.. as of now, I think they are my favorite to win that district- now are they DII or DIII? I think they are a sleeper pick for the playoffs. THAT BEING SAID, they have the worst AOR out of all the teams, so maybe if you were to put them into a different district, they wouldn't be as good looking on paper.

Seen them play a few times. They're way over rated. They have one kid that is the whole team and the only team they've played any good is Union Hill and they lost 45-0.

Thanks for the info on Longview xn. heritage Sam, I had a suspicion that their AOR was telling of their surprising stats

Baytown's only given up 54 points on the year? Salty.

They are a fast defense. Conroe size gave them some trouble but in the end, baytown speed won out. Itell be hard for them to goose egg any team they are projected to play in order to reach a trophy but the defense is good enough to deliver one.

Any team planning to run on the edges of Conroe....dont. Those two big ends do a solid job of keeping things inside. As long as they can do that and solve coverage issues....they are on a strong position to lift a trophy.

I would have to say that Baytowns defense has been solid this year. 9-0 and giving up 54 points is crazy. The #2 team in tapps only put up 30 points on them last week.

What is Baytown's strength of schedule? How does it compare with some of the other early favorites like Seguin and Freddy?

[shortround]

Seguin's AOR: 227.828- has played 1 team under the top 100 (#23 SA FEAST). They have played 1 team over rank 200 (#208 SA Atonement)

Baytown's AOR: 175.865- has played 1 team under the top 100 (#63 Conroe Covenant). They have played 4 teams over rank 200 (#275 Conroe Lifestyle Christian, #268 Clear Lake Christian, #218 Gustine, #215 Alvin Living stones.)


Freddy's AOR: 212.203- has played 0 teams under top 100, and have played 2 team over rank 200 (#201 Round Rock Concordia, #228 Brownwood Victory Life).


Waco Live Oak's AOR: 249.168- has played 5 teams under top 100 (#53 Waco Methodist Children's Home, #4 Calvert, #52 Blum, #18 Austin Veritas, #83 NCTA). They have played 1 game over rank 200 (#228 Brownwood victory life).

Thanks for the info!

The not so informed opinions I had heard is that Baytown really hasn't played anyone up to the challenge. Don't know that that's true.

Waco Live Oak on the other hand looks legit. Gotta think they are the early favs in DII.

Looking at baytowns schedule looks like they played Apple springs, San Antonio Lutheran,and Conroe. 45ed the first 2 and beat Conroe by 25. Those are the strongest opponents they have seen.

I agree live oak will be the favorite and Conroe should give them a good game. Alphas flying under the radar and always have a good program.
