Div I
1. Valley
2. Abbott - got them this high because they will represent the east and will be the last standing with #1 Valley.
3. Throckmorton - Loss of the gentle giant (Gary F) will hurt but I look for little BIG brother to step in and lead the hounds downt the golden path until they meet up with my #1.
4. Ira - loss of Morris will hurt.... BUT WAIT.... There is another Morris (not as explosive) but is surrounded by talent that is a year older. And the coaches son ain't too shabby either. Bulldogs can go a LONG way if they get past #5 Crowell.
5. Crowell - This team is good, they were physical and lex (hercules) bond is GIA-NORMOUS.
6. Water Valley - They return ALOT of talent, now maybe they can stay off this message board blabbing about how good they are and focus on the opponents this year. WE UNDERSTAND YOUR TYPING SKILLS ARE GREAT... NOT PUT THOSE SKILLS TO THE FEILD
7. Zephyr - Reminds me of a middle of the pack SEC team..... talent is there but can't get over the hump.... Zephy does have a nice field
8. Santa Anna - this is a gamble
9. Petersburg - I think the Buffs will have enough to finish 2nd and make a good playoff run
10. Borden County - I believe they lost a TON of talent, but their program won't fail the coyote faithful.
Div II
1. Strawn - saw them in a passing tournament, They are going to be VERY tough to beat
2. Richland Springs - One of RS last losses was to strawn, well let's chalk up another one for Strawn, I just think strawn is gonna be better than RS.
3. Grandfalls Royalty - GF is WAY to far west texas for me to get a scout report on... Just know they like their football out there.
4. Milford - usually athletic and usually pretty good.
5. New Castle - put up a good run late in the season last yr, I look for NC to start our early this year.
6. Jonesboro - Had all the hype last year and the bubble burst... This year I think Jonesboro will be alot quieter and make noise on the field this year.
7. Blanket - I think they will have a good season
8. Follett - I believe they lost the stud spread back/Rb..... but they will have tradition of winning up north
9. Robert Lee - got the chance to see them, they will be ok once district comes around.. IF THEY FIND SOMEONE that can throw & complete a pass
10. Motley County - El Matador may fall out of my top 10 but for now I have them here.
Tapps Div 1
1. Dallas Covenant - Returning majority of their squad from 2012-13...... 2 very interesting games (Throck & @ Valley)
Right now, Covenant is the Miami Heat of the 6 man football world
2. Abilene Christian - Pass Happy, Pass Happy, Pass Happy ...... Jerry Glanville would love this offense
3. Rockwall Heritage - Improved last year, should keep improving this year
4. Bulverde Bracken - is mor than likely the most physical team in all of private schools (or atleast they use to be)
5. Boerne Geneva - they may can get back to the final game, but they'll need another solid run
Tapps Div II
1. Fredericksburg Heritage - Should be back in the dance in 2013
2. Lake Jackson Brazosport - Their past coach came back and led them back into the playoffs, where they were a staple in the mid 2000's.
3. Orange Community - this group is blessed with athletes galore, but it's basketball athletes.... If they ever focused on football first then look out... But they don't .... See them faltering at the semi final round .... AGAIN....
4. Seguin Lifegate - The falcons got their 1st ever ring..... Now let's see if they are hungry for another or if they're happy with only 1
5. Alvin Living Stones - I believe this is the yr for my arch-nemisis to FINALLY do something further than the 2nd round. According to KRAMER, Coach Sanders brings back a good qb, VERY GOOD RB and Shawree
TCAF
1. Azle Christian - NUFF said until someone beats them
TCAL DIV I
1. Tomball Home School - Still ain't never figured out the home school thingy.
Like, where do they get their kids from
TCAL Div. II
1. Bastrop Tribe Consolidated
And to toss this one out there, because I find it a little strange how this is played...
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the game is played on Thur, Fri and Sat (all 3 days in a row)
with Thur and Fri you play only halves.
And any school including jvs can enter
BUT....
THE IRON MAN BOWL
1. Houston Emery Weiner is going for a 5th (in a row) title....
I'd call it the DRIVE for FIVE.... LOL
Hopefully someone for Emery reads this and posts pics of their 4 rings
