I would like to see Bellville play, but I am going with Alvin 1- Bellville 0.
North Central Yexas Academy will score a little more like 26.
And I think San Marcos can beat Seguin, flip the score.

 

[FreyBCA]

Bellville Faith forfeited their game with Alvin.

 

[Godsmightywarrior]

I was close to picking San Marcos to win. I debated that game for a long time.

 

[Box Dad]

Seguin throws me off by beating Veritas and loosing to Corpus Christi Annapolis who barely beat Houston Harmony. And San Marcos, they played Cedar Park summit and Freddy close and loose to Brownwood. But one injury changes the outcome and this is just off the cuff observations. The board has Seguin as a 42 point favorite and in our games the weekly spread has been pretty close.
Hey. but at least at this point it looks like I am 1 for 1 with the Bellville prediction.

 

[FreyBCA]

Box Dad, if I am not mistaken according to the spreads on this site BCA should currently be at 1-7 with our only win coming against Bellville.

 

[Box Dad]

Well all I know is that throughout the years, this site has a pretty good algorithm for predictions and standings. So we at least we are ranked above Bellville! If the first place ranking is a curse, as said in the other post, I am pretty happy were we are at.

 

[Godsmightywarrior]

It's not where you start, but where you finish. The playoffs are going to be very interesting. I can't wait.

 

[FreyBCA]

San Marcos was down 29-6 to Seguin and then dominated the rest of the game to come back and win 42-29!!

 

[Godsmightywarrior]

I went 7-2 on my week 10 predictions.

DISTRICT 1

PREDICTION: WF Notre Dame 59 vs Clovis Christian, NM 14
ACTUAL SCORE: Notre Dame 1 - Clovis Christian 0 Forfeit
Notre Dame and WCS will play for the district 1 crown next Friday.

PREDICTION: Wichita Christian 59 vs Johnson County Sports Association 13
ACTUAL SCORE: Wichita Christian 69 - Johnson County Sports Association 7
Another big win for the Stars. Longview Trinity beat this same team 67-7. TAPPS DIII has not been kind to JCSA.

PREDICTION: Richardson Canyon Creek 42 vs Brownwood Victory Life 18

Canyon Creek is battling NCTA for 3rd place in district. NCTA holds the tie breaker.

Living Stones ensures the district 4 crown with a win against Brenham Christian.

How about some bracket predictions ...

As of now, wildcard point standings look something like this (3rd place and below), My guess is the top 4 get in. One problem is that with two teams from Dist 2 in the wildcards, one of the southern teams (Lifegate or Brenham) may have to go north and one of the north teams (CCCS or NCTA) go south in order not to have a district re-match in the first round playoff games.

*Seguin Lifegate 20
*Richardson CCCS 17
*Granbury NCTA 13
*Brenham Christian 12
Heath Fulton 12
Selma RCBA 9

So here's my guess based on the brackets and how teams would fall

Seguin Lifegate vs Ft Worth Covenant Classical (D2-2nd), winner plays WF Notre Dame (D1-1st)

Richardson CCCS vs WF Christian (D1-2nd), winner plays Longview Trinity (D2-1st)

Granbury NCTA vs Houston Tx Christian (D4-2nd), winner plays Fredericksburg Heritage (D3-1st)

Brenham Christian vs San Marcos Hill Co (D3-2nd), winner plays Alvin Living Stones (D4-1st).

My first round winners: Lifegate, WF Christian, NCTA, and Hill Co.
Second round winners: Notre Dame, Trinity, Heritage and Hill Co.
Semi-final winners: Trinity and Heritage
Finals winner: Heritage (Shipman breaks a two-year losing streak in the finals and wins #6)

But based on a couple games in Week 10, there are a whole lot of folks that could change this and make me look real foolish.

San Marcos was down 29-6 to Seguin and then dominated the rest of the game to come back and win 42-29!!

Lifegate's achillies heel this year has been poor play in the second half. From what I've seen and heard their best second half was against Castle Hills, where they did come back from a bad first half to tighten up the game ... but Annapolis, Heritage, Hill Country, and to some extent Veritas, Lifegate played poor second halves (losing three of the four; Castle Hills was also a loss). I've only seen three games this year (Veritas, Heritage and New Life), though.

The Falcons have an interesting week ahead -- a bye week, with no guarantee of a playoff berth (they are far ahead in the wildcard points, I can't see them falling off the playoff picture), so technically this would be a week of practice with no idea if or when they will play again this season. It's an opportunity to physicially and mentally get ready for a new season (playoffs) if and when it comes. They have talent, but are still a bit young and maybe think more of their talents than they show on the field. When it's playoff time, you don't turn it on and off like a light switch.

Here is my bracket predictions:

Seguin vs FW Covenant

Notre Dame has bye

Granbury vs Wichita Christian

Longview Trinity has bye

Houston vs Canyon Creek

Freddy has bye

Hill Country vs Alvin

Brenham gets bye

Second round
Notre Dame vs FW covenant
Longview Trinity vs Granbury
Freddy vs Canyon Creek
Brenham vs Hill Country

Semis
Notre Dame vs Granbury
Freddy vs Hill Country

CHAMPIONSHIP
Granbury vs Hill Country

Granbury wins it all. (Going out on a limb)

 

[SFA]

Sorry GT but that must be a big limb you are going out on...NCTA will go south anyways

 

[FreyBCA]

Here is my bracket predictions:

Seguin vs FW Covenant

Notre Dame has bye

CHAMPIONSHIP

Granbury wins it all. (Going out on a limb)

Well I can tell you right away, although I appreciate the sentiment, Brenham Christian can at best earn second in District 4. If we end up a wildcard, we'd probably be up against Fort Worth and Seguin would be against Texas Christian......but we shall see how things go in Week 11.

 

[Game Traveler]

We will see. Yes it is a big limb. Like to keep it interesting. Never know what TAPPS will do come.playoff time. I am ready for some playoff football.

 

[SFA]

Should be interesting to see how it goes.... GT, your limb is cracking already

 

[SCONELBRO]

Isn't it impossible for Brenham to win the district at this point or did I read the standings wrong on tappster?

You are right. At best we can get second.
