Agree with TexasJim. I've seen them knock kids on their rear...hard...and offer them a hand to get back up. Not just some of the time, but all the time. Hard not to like tough, hard-nosed kids that are polite and respectful.

Go to this link: http://www.maxpreps.com/polls/football/xcellent25.htm Under MaxPreps Freeman Rankings, click on the link for "View High School Football Rankings". On the next page, select "Texas" and also select "Division TAPPS II 6 Man". Also make sure you select the button for 6/8/9 Man...

Thanks, I was thinking that was the case, but couldn't help but ask since winning but not beating the spread is a loss by Vegas standards. Although, Vegas standards is a bit of an oxymoron to which we should probably not aspire.

Is the won/lost determined using your point spread, or is it a straight-up won/lost? In other words, if you say Team A is favored by 25 and they only win by 20, is that still counted as a win? Thanks.

What is this?

Class, we're getting a bit off topic with the WV talk. As I understand, it's a random draw by TAPPS, so no logic involved. Kind of like the World Series where the Cardinals get home field advantage because the National League won the All-Star game, even though the Cardinals snuck into the...

I do agree, ACHS is in a different class in TAPPS Division 1 along with Dallas Covenant, Bracken and Hill Country. Too bad the bracket didn't shape out as a north potential semi-final of ACHS v. Covenant and a south potential semi-final of Bracken v. Hill Country.

1987, then what exactly was the point of making that comparison, other than to say Abilene is the better of those 3 teams? Based on your last post, I believe it is you who taking this a bit too seriously. The fact is ACHS fans have been the most vocal the last year and a half in their "Look...

As I read the schedule, Richland Springs, Ira and Throckmorton don't play each other, so trying to compare Abilene's game with Ira in relation to how Covenant did against Throckmorton and Hill Country did against Richland Springs is a bit of a stretch. Glad your team had a good showing against...

Thanks guys. I presume you have a program/spreadsheet to do this for you? I must have been absent the day this was taught in school!

Good enough. What are the basic parameters that drive the rating? Thanks.

I find interesting the disparity between Throckmorton's relative standing here as opposed to Granger's system where they would be considered the third best team. Any explanation for that?

Not sure, just searching for an explanation. It's a non-district contest, maybe they didn't think it was an important game? Like I said, just searching for answers to how a game that was supposed to be close (per the rating used to determine rankings) appears to have been completely one-sided.

Hill Country 52 Abbott 6 What's the deal? Abbott over-rated...resting starters...or is Hill Country that good?

Anyone seen both teams play? I'm not sure I totally agree with the private schools wanting to play six-man, with the recent/impending exodus in the last few years of Cedar Park Summit, Temple Central Texas Christian and Tomball Rosehill. Those were 3 strong programs in the south, now/will be...
