Waco LaVega (16-12) vs Caldwell (17-10)
LaVega is a bit down this year...but I still think they have enough to get past Caldwell...Matt's pick: WACO LAVEGA
Groesbeck (21-10) vs Diboll
The Goats are a sleeper pick in Region 3...they are very athletic, finished second in 19-3A to Mexia who is a state contender..I don't think Diboll will stay in this one long...Matt's pick: GROESBECK
Hardin-Jefferson (28-3) vs Clev. Tarkington (23-8)
Record wise one of the better matchups in the state in bi-district..BUT H-J has played a lot of tough competition while Tarkington especially in non-district feasted on weak teams...Josh Williams is a stud and will lead the Hawks to a relatively easy win...Matt's pick: HARDIN-JEFFERSON
Navasota (18-13) vs Elgin (14-18)
I think the Rattlers roll...their record doesn't indicate it but Navasota will be a tough out in Region 3...they have some guards that can flat out go...I think they win by 15+ Matt's pick: NAVASOTA
Gatesville (18-13) vs Cameron Yoe (18-8)
Gatesville started out looking like a potential 17-3A champ but faltered late...Yoe is led by Roderick Knight and Billy Pittman..sound familar? This time Knight is the main man and Pittman is the sidekick...I like the Yoeman..Matt's pick: CAMERON YOE
Crockett vs Lufkin Hudson (18-14)
I can't pick a 3A school that doesn't play football..what is going on at that school?? No football???? J2K would have me shot if I picked those guys..I nominate J2K as Hudson's new AD...until then I will not pick them..Matt's pick: CROCKETT
Hardin (24-8) vs Barbers Hill (21-8)
Another good matchup here..Barbers Hill is one of 3 teams to beat Hardin-Jefferson..in that game the Eagles controlled tempo..if they can do that they may go a long way..but Hardin is athletic and can get up and down..I think the tempo favors the Hornets...Matt's pick: HARDIN
Sealy (21-10) vs Smithville (18-12)
Sealy is one of the better 3rd place teams in the state...they are a lot better than some district champs..Smithville well I give em credit for year in and year out fielding a pretty good basketball team..now if we could just get that in another sort..ohhh well...Matt's pick: SEALY
