I see Hallettsville Sacred Heart School’s JV is playing a 6 man game this week (I’m assuming it’s a 6 man game and not 11 man). Does anyone know if they’re preparing to drop? They have a very successful history in TAPPS 11 man.
The elite 8 in D2 are all great teams. I gotta say it feels like all 4 teams in the north are pretty equal and each team is capable of winning state, along with Alpha Omega in the south.
Prestonwood/Nazarene will be a war, and Covenant/Heritage could go either way.
DII Dist 3 is looking like it will come down to the Week 10 matchup between Lucas Christian and Rockwall Heritage. Lucas is 4-1, 1-0 with their only loss coming to Milford by 7. Heritage is off to their best start since 2016 at 6-0, 1-0 after beating Wylie Prep last week.
Covenant hits a 30(?) yard FG with :33 left to take a 68-66 lead. Bracken hits a pass down the sideline to Covenant 26 with :08 left. Covenant picks off the final play. Amazing game.
Just saw the Summit/NBCA game had to be stopped due to Summit only having 4 players. No idea if it’s covid related, hopefully they’re able to finish the season.
Off the top of my head, the following schools have either closed or no longer play six man:
Amarillo Arbor
Amarillo Holy Cross
Arlington Texas Leadership Charter
Austin Brentwood Christian
Balch Springs Christian
Boerne Geneva
Carrollton Christian
Clear Lake Christian
Dallas First Baptist
Dallas...
I know they have been in the past, no idea what their enrollment is now. I do know there’s a number of private schools in their immediate area - Prestonwood, Parish, Trinity, ESD, Jesuit, and Greenhill.
Great to be back! Should be an interesting season. Looks like we have some former 11-man teams joining us this year:
Carrollton Prince of Peace
Pasadena First Baptist
Houston Westbury Christian
Beaumont Legacy Christian
Some new schools:
Austin Sterling Classical
Taylor St. Mary’s
Prosper...
I agree with your original point, though. This season would have been a perfect excuse to consolidate to 2 divisions. The majority of playoff teams receiving byes while others have to play doesn’t seem like an even playing field. However, I can understand the goal was to reduce travel with all...
