shortround's pre-preseason district winners
District 1
1.) Notre Dame Catholic, Wichita Falls
2.) Wichita Christian, Wichita Fall
Don't know much about the other teams, but honestly in my opinion the second team in this district won't make it past the second round of playoffs feel free to prove me wrong
District 2
1.) Live Oak Classical, Waco
2.) Toss up between NCTA and BVL and others
Live Oak will take 1st in district and I have it as a toss up between NCTA and BVL because NCTA is so inconsistent on returning players, so year to year they always look different compared to most other teams.
District 3
1.) Tyler Street Christian, Dallas
2.) Doesnt matter, I think this is a weak district- same thing goes for this district that 2nd place doesn't make it past 2nd round of playoffs.
District 4
1.) Trinity, Longview
2.) Doesn't really matter
District 5
1.) Seguin Lifegate/SMHC
2.) Summit Christian, Cedar Park
I think this is the most competitive district this year. As of now I think it's a toss up between lifegate and hill country, but don't fall asleep on cedar park (they went to the semis last year and played veritas closer than anyone else in the playoffs) I might even switch cedar park to the top once I learn who they have coming back. I definitely think these teams go deep in playoffs, and depending on if there are wild cards, one might end up playing the other at state? Definitely something to keep in mind.
District 6
1./2.) Bracken Christian, Bulverde/ Freddy
It's not fun that Freddy is in a weaker district this year, but I'm sure shipman will have them prepared come playoffs. Honestly right now I don't know much about Bulverde, so I have it as a toss up between the two teams. The other two teams are irrelevant in my opinion as they wouldn't make it past the first/second round of playoffs.
District 7
1.) Alpha Omega, Huntsville
2.) Faith, Bellville/Lifestyle Christian, Conroe
I've heard talk on the boards that AO will be good, but sometimes it's all just talk.. I think these are weaker districts paired usually with weak overall schedules.. But what am I to say since I haven't even looked at their schedule.
District 8
1.) Orange Community Christian/Baytown
2.) Living Stones Christian, Alvin/ Conroe covenant
as of now I know nothing on this whole district, Alvin made it to the playoffs last year and got 45ed by Fred. There's been talk that Baytown is/isn't good, so right now I think the whole district is a toss up, but I don't see any of these teams playing for all the marbles.
AGAIN, THIS IS A PRE-PRESEASON PREDICTIONS. I don't know about a lot of the teams, so please don't be angry if I said your team is either irrelevant or that they don't matter. There is a reason that games are played on a field and not on paper. There has been a lot of talk on whether or not certain teams are good. There's been a lot of talk about Waco Live Oak, there's been a lot of talk about WFND, there's been a lot of talk about seguin and San Marcos. Sometimes the scores don't even reflect how a game was played- how much was given out on the field- at the end of the day the goal of the majority of these coaches is to make these players be more than quality young men, let's not forget that. That being said, it's fun to watch and play some smash-mouth football and win the championship!!
