Top Ten Defenses in the State.

[tdog5344]

Anybody know who has allowed the least points this year other than whitedeer who are the top 10????

 

[BuffaloCountry]

Borden County is definitely on here

For points against

The links don't seem to work

 

[Hill County]

This is not a good evaluation of defenses. So many teams play under par teams. It needs to be the best teams defense in the playoffs.

Great hill country how bout you start that thread for us meanwhile I looked at the links it posted points against on d1 but only had points for for d11

How about tdog not wanting supporting your team and look at the over all picture. Aquilla has not played anyone till Milford so that don't mean their defense is great and they lost.

This is really a tough question. How do you analyze it?
Going by points allowed thus far we have, randomly, among top teams, ppg;

Balmoreah, 14
Valley, 23
Borden County, 8
Happy, 36
Richland Springs, 19
Milford, 19
White Deer, 2
Garden City, 16
May, 11
Strawn, 11

It really depends on strength of schedule. Which skews analysis.
Richland Springs put up 74 on Borden County the first game of the year. But they didn't win.
What defense?
Shutting out less talented/well coached teams is not a good benchmark.
The Truth will only be found in the playoff's.

It really depends on strength of schedule. Which skews analysis. I been to all of BC's games for the past 5 years and I can't recall a game between RS and BC.

I don't recall a game between RS an BC in the last 6-7 years

I've watched McLean play and there defenses should be one of the top in the state

 

[tdog5344]

Ok I'm only listing the top ten in D1 as the link for D11 doesn't show points against.. I'm not here to argue strength of schedule as some have played multiple teams that have been shut out as other teams have actually played top 20 teams.. This is hard to argue the numbers don't lie these are some pretty good defenses.

Whitedeer #3 ranked 24 points allowed it didn't count for UIL BUT it happened on a real football field with a real scoreboard.

Mclean # 7 ranked 26 points allowed

Borden county #1 ranked 46 points allowed

May # 5 ranked 48 points allowed

Tioga# 27 ranked 71 points allowed

Aquilla # 13 ranked 77 points allowed

Marfa # 35 ranked 85 points allowed

Buena vista # 10 ranked 92 points allowed

Garden city # 4 ranked 130 points allowed

Happy # 2 ranked 162 points allowed

That as of week six I'm sure it changed since then but 7 of these teams are in top 10 in the state so you decide... I love defense and in sixman it's overlooked by the impressive offensive games put up. This is the total of points scored against these teams all year.

 

[tdog5344]

Maybe someone in DII can list there top 10 i can look up average allowed per game but can't find actuall points allowed.

I edited my list after I saw what your list actually was -- Originally I only had top 10 ranked teams -- but, overall, 4 of the lowest-points-allowed teams are ranked in the top 10....

 

[tdog5344]

I count 5 but who's counting lol thanks again

 

[tdog5344]

So that's 13 out of twenty that are top ten and several more in the top twenty...

 

[frenchcowboy]

white deer is soft they havent played anybody, when they played someone good(follett) they got scored on easily. And follett had lots of miscues.

 

[tdog5344]
