I beg to differ on McLean practically returning their entire team in 2019 from their championship season in 2018. Mclean leaned heavily on their star running back throughout 2019 to get back to the second state championship game and Crockett was more than a little worn down from the game tapes I watched. Those role players certainly played big roles throughout the 2018 season and were missed at Jerry's World in 2019.
agree to this.. they lost several big pieces from the year before, several of the linemen and big Chism
Are you sure? Because I believe I’ve seen schools do just that in bigger classifications? Maybe someone will chime in
my entire point was that any team can be beaten at any time, no matter how good they might be
yes he was
I feel like if you have enough for 11 man you can say yall want to play 11 man or like munday has enough in their school they can play sixman D1 but they choose to keep playing 11 man
Tell me you know nothing about football. Mclean graduated 4 seniors from 2018 and with them they would have beat blim by 60 at halftime... the tiger team in 2019 had 5 decent players and then The main combo was Crockett and Linman. Blum had to stop one kid. The rankings and wanna be 6man experts pit mclean as a heavy favorite but they were not imo more than a one score favorite over Blum. By the way congrats to Blum but they were no buzz saw.
Thank you for clarifying. Others memories seem to be way shorter when it comes to what actually happened.
And I believe Crockett was maybe 75% healthy (knee) for the state championship game his senior year but McLean, Linman, and Crockett never made any excuses for losing to Blum. But yeah 2018 McLean team was loaded. All big and fast. 2019 Crockett carried that team to state.
100 percent sir
Strawn (GRs freshman season), Benjamin(GR sophomore season) could've won the state championship without divisions imo. Benjamin (GRs junior year) possibly would've gotten runner up last season to Gordon. Jayton would be runner-up to Gordon without divisions this season imo. So I guess my idea isn't nonsense with all due respect.
I agree with everything you just said. There have certainly been years the State Champion D2 very well may have been better than the D1. Who cares, I know it’s not 6 man but my point remains that I made about other classifications as well. Sometimes a smaller school has a better team than a larger school. I understand what you’re saying. Let me say again, I understand what you’re saying. Maybe you will finally understand. I DISAGREE WITH YOU! I believe there is more reasons than not to have 2 divisions of 6 man football and evidently the UIL does as well. Keep preaching, maybe you can convince them to go back to 1 division. Take Care
You're good, no worries. I respect your opinions and I know the split will never change. Yet enrollment numbers tend to go up for the "cut-off". You made a valid point. Which was why don't D2 teams "move-up" to D1 if they feel they're competitive enough? The difference is 1A is the lowest classification and you would have to dedicate 2 years for realignment. Which D2 (with balls) teams would do that? Maybe if they're enrollment numbers are growing but who knows. Point being, the best teams are not playing each other in the state championship yet playoffs in general. When I read there used to be 10 team districts, I loved it. 8-10 teams. If you want to keep D1/D2 create 4 playoff spots. 2 best in d1 and 2 best in D2 go. I would prefer no divisions but it won't happen.
Lol in 2018 Mclean beat strawn follet the two d2 finalist and milford in championship all by 30 points or more so they were the out right champs regardless of division and several other teams have done it as well over the years
