Who can take the 3A crown out of nowhere this year?

[ctown81]

I'm just curious. I would like to hear your thoughts about 3A teams that my surprise a lot of people and win the whole thing. Not talking about a deep play off run, I'm talking about taking the title out of nowhere. I fully expect this to be a homer thread. Besides, back in 2008 no one outside of carthage thought they could win it all at the begining of the season and no one outside of Henderson thought they'd win it all in 2010. I would just like to hear about other teams than the usual, Carthage, stephenville, Brownwood, Celina....etc

[orange machine]

I think the team with the best shot is Navasota.

[Bullaholic]

Navasota
West Columbia
Waco La Vega
La Marque

[Lion70]

I think the team with the best shot is Navasota.

If they get out of that quarterfinals then yes.

I have a feeling its going to be a east texas team. Well for the record I didn't think we would win state. Anybody that said so apparently didn't put the beer down.

Fairfield

[Chillfan]

Navasota
West Columbia
Waco La Vega

:iagree:

Chapel Hill is stacked with great lookin athletes. I watched them the other day and was thinking where did these kids come from. If the young guys gel quickly, watch out because everybody has wrote them off this year.

[Txbroadcaster]

None of the teams listed IMO are come out of nowhere teams.

You and G2 are media ho's with that "teaser" stuff....:D

[Old Tiger]

La Vega and Nastysota

[waterboy]

Gilmer! After all the players they lost last year they could surprise some people.:wave:

[Old Tiger]

Who is that freshmen yall had last year? If I heard correctly yalls coach said he's the best looking freshmen he's ever seen.

[Bullaholic]

Threads like this are kinda funny---if you name a "out-of-nowhere" team, their homers flame you for calling them "out-of-nowhere", and their rivals call you crazy. But ain't it fun? :D

[Bullaholic]

Devine still got that stud RB with a million career yards?

[Saggy Aggie]

Kennedale should have a really good team, if they can hit their stride come playoff time then it's possible.

How's that for stepping out on a limb?

[Saggy Aggie]

Devine still got that stud RB with a million career yards? pretty sure Sadler graduated, but that kid was a beast!

[defense51]

If we're going out of nowhere, I'm taking China Springs.

[Old Tiger]

How about really out of no where and take Andrews?

[defense51]

Kennedale isn't a bad pick for this thread, they have a ton of kids returning and a great coach.

Kennedale would be my pick also.

That was the whole point of the thread to trick you into giving your picks lol jk

CH or Gilmer will take the district crown. Get ready.

[Ville-D]

Lorena
Mineola
Crystal City
Stafford
Fort Stockton

[waterboy]

That's most likely going to be Kris Boyd who will be a sophomore this year. He runs a 10.59 100m, and is still growing into his frame. He also has a younger brother who will be a freshman, DeMarco, who is "almost" as fast who will likely play varsity this year, too.

[Saggy Aggie]

Van ought to be pretty good too right?

[regaleagle]

Atlanta
Paris
Van

These 3 should count as "out of nowhere", right?

[regaleagle]

Saggie, you beat me on the Van pick by less than 30 secs.

[Roughneck93]

Dallas Prime Prep Academy...

[Saggy Aggie]

Saggie, you beat me on the Van pick by less than 30 secs. that's alright, Paris is a good one I hadn't thought of.

Good chance that they'll be VERY good too IMO

[easttexas3a]

Palestine would be my pick.

Went 7-4 last year, bringing back several starters on both sides, 9th and JV went 10-0. Took 21 kids to the regional track meet. They play La Vega and Chapel Hill in pre district, so we will know pretty quick.

[coach]

Fairfield is.....

[Farmersfan]

Out of nowhere team in my area could be Princeton. They have significantly improved every season under that new coach Dillard. The youngest coaches son is supposed to be more talented than the one that was a senior this year. Princeton has always had the talent but never had the program. Now they have the program, the talent and a recruiting guru of a coach.

[Bullaholic]

and a recruiting guru of a coach.

From within Princeton, of course....

south texas team or a really out of nowhere team from the valley.

Princeton maybe on the up swing, but they are no where near state title material not even close.

[crabman]

How about 3-7 Cuero who everyone has written off as dead. New head coach. New quarterback. New offense.

[Lion70]

CH or Gilmer will take the district crown. Get ready.

LOL Gilmer yes Hill not so much

[Ville-D]

China Spring
Hondo
Greenwood
Decatur
Silsbee
Bridge City
Van

[Saggy Aggie]

LOL Gilmer yes Hill not so much Chill was absolutely loaded last year. IDC how much theyre graduating. That team still has a ton of talented players and i expect them to be a top team in 3a.

[regaleagle]

I counted 190 teams in 3A for 2012 from the realignment schedule. I assume most, if not all of these will be fielding a football team. This must be the largest number ever for 3A, so the possibility of a team coming out of nowheresville to make it to the state final is not as remote as it may seem. Right now, we have been discussing maybe 20-25 schools in the entire class??? A little over 10%.

[Lion70]

Chill was absolutely loaded last year. IDC how much theyre graduating. That team still has a ton of talented players and i expect them to be a top team in 3a.

they graduated pretty much their entire team and half went to North Texas. They will be very young and now play in a big boy district.

Ok you keep telling yourself that oh yeah and Our Aggies will win the SEC and my Lions will win district.

[Saggy Aggie]

Ok you keep telling yourself that oh yeah and Our Aggies will win the SEC and my Lions will win district. haha I'm definitely not bias towards chill but I've seen them with my own eyes these last 2 years multiple times.

Chill doesn't have scrubs. They've got athletes everywhere. Size speed and coaching.

They won't be as good of a unit as last year because of the continuity they lost but they'll still be pretty darn good if I were a betting person

[Lion70]

I have seen them as well the past two years. The first one was better for me lol. I guess you could say the same for my henderson Lions, but I have my doubts.

[the genious]

Columbus? New coach New offense and Athletes all over the place (if they stay out of trouble) if they adapt to Sine's offense they could pull it off Their defense may be a little bit of a question mark going in to the season though..

[Saggy Aggie]

I highly doubt Columbus even makes the playoffs. How many games did they win last year? 2? 3? New coach?

When's the last time Columbus got past bi district?

This has got to be a joke

[HEMOTOXIC]

LOL

They beat Smithville in bi district I believe.

[FB-fanatic]

Fairfield is.....

Coming off a 10-1 record isn't "come out of nowhere...", even in a weak district.

[Tin Cup]

What will Sealy have?

[Ville-D]

Brownwood...

[Gone Fishing]

pretty sure Sadler graduated, but that kid was a beast!

Was a great player for sure. Wimberley stopped him easily though.

[Gone Fishing]

How about 3-7 Cuero who everyone has written off as dead. New head coach. New quarterback. New offense.

sorry not a chance.

[Lions88]

sorry not a chance.
Even tho i poke fun the team repeatedly... wanna hear my pick... get ready for it................................................ ...............................................


Alvarado

You heard it here first. Sleeper team.

[Saggy Aggie]

Was a great player for sure. Wimberley stopped him easily though. didn't he get quite a few yards? I wouldn't call that stopping him. He did his part just not enough around him

[Tejastrue]

didn't he get quite a few yards? I wouldn't call that stopping him. He did his part just not enough around him

Yeah, we didn't exactly stop him. 33/207. Of his 33 carries though I think he had 3 good runs..the rest of the time he was being mauled in the backfield more often than not. I agree wholeheartedly..if they would have had any kind of a passing game who knows...I will add this... the kid was all class and gracious in defeat.

[buckeyebob]

Ok you keep telling yourself that oh yeah and Our Aggies will win the SEC and my Lions will win district.

Tsk...Tsk. Wish in one hand, crap in the other & see which one fills up first...the Buckeyes will hand the Lions another "L"...someone has to assume the Carthage Roll 4 U...and an annual spanking

[stang92]

Andrews-will be very talented this year
Lubbock Estacado-always have the talent

[Farmersfan]

Princeton maybe on the up swing, but they are no where near state title material not even close.



Thanks for the information OM! But if they were already "State Title Material" then it wouldn't be OUT OF NOWHERE! :thmbdwn:

I think we are talking about teams out of nowhere that actually have a chance which when I say that to myself sounds contradictory, but who cares they dont have a chance lol.

[coach]

trust me it would be from nowhere if ff won state....we havent won a playoff game in like 8 years

[hookandladder]

La Grange moves back to Region 4 next season, last season in Region 4 ( 2009 ) we were a game away from the State Championship game. I am not picking us to win State just saying hopefully we get back into the playoffs and then anything can happen, this will be our overall best team since 2009. Also Coach Kates 3rd full year, so his system should be in place. Last shot for my son , hope it all goes well.

Also, just to make things interesting, don't disregard the significance of recruiting as a tool to build a program. Celina is living proof that it works. :crazy1::evilgrin:

[JacketSwarm]

i'll take Stephenville Yellow Jackets - since nobody else on here thinks they can win the sc next year.

rebuttal?

or nobody cares.

[ctown81]

A lot of people here believe Stephenville will win it all. It's just that no one agreed with your comments about them just running over everyone. You come here knowing very little about 3A football and the majority find your comments laughable. Then you say "fire away" as if you're begging for attention. Smh

[defense51]

rebuttal? Thread title- who can take the 3A crown out of NOWHERE this year. Reading comprehension is important when

reading...
I'm not sure Stephenville would quality as out of nowhere.

[regaleagle]

Yeah, we're talking Dalhart or Grulla here, LOL.

[Manso/V8]

What will Sealy have?

I hear that their entire O-line is returning, and of course RSJ and Jowan Davis will be back.
Rumor on the dirt roads of Austin County is that RSJ will move from QB to WR.

Duh.....Unless their program doesnt use a QB in 7,8 9 or JV football.....

[Manso/V8]

Duh.....Unless their program doesnt use a QB in 7,8 9 or JV football.....

I don't get the duh......they had a decent QB in Klepser last year, but RSJ took the vast majority of snaps except for maybe one or two games.

[HEMOTOXIC]

I don't get the duh......they had a decent QB in Klepser last year, but RSJ took the vast majority of snaps except for maybe one or two games.

Nah...gotta be talking about Chase Tate...give the ball to him and watch them chase Tate. Very tough, very fast (Boyd is a little faster), quick as greased lightning...Gilmer will have a very young backfield...after all, we took the District of Doom Crown in Tack this year with both of these guys in the heat.

[buckeyebob]

south texas team or a really out of nowhere team from the valley.

They play football?

[buckeyebob]

Andrews
Pleasanton
Splendora
Texarkana Pleasant Grove
Vernon

Pleasant Grove? Really? Not on the radar up this way...perhaps...I thing Atlanta will dominate the district.

[Lion70]

Pleasant Grove? Really? Not on the radar up this way...perhaps...I thing Atlanta will dominate the district.

wow that is bold and I agree its Atlanta , Paris, or LE winning that district.

[mwrams]

Stephenville would not qualify as out of nowhere....Now, Mineral Wells on the other hand.....THAT WOULD QUALIFY!

Yes, he could've been talking about Chase, too. Last year's freshman class was deep in talent. Over the next four years there will be lots of speed and talent to choose from in Gilmer. They will continue to win. That's for sure.

As for a team out of "nowhere", my bet is Atlanta will surprise a lot of folks this year. They finally have a good coach settled in, and they've always had talent and speed. They started turning the corner last year. They will give the Buckeyes all they want in the TMF/Rose Stadium Classic opener.

My point is if it were me I would have SJ at receiver where he is going to play at the next level.

I agree, Atlanta will be a tough out this coming season.

As far as East Texas goes, they will have the best 1-2 punch coming out of the backfield.

Ought to try and make the TMF 1st of the Season Game...Bux vs Atlanta, 8-30-12 (Thursday), 7:30 PM...we will have on the Orange & Green (we will be so green)

[j_dog]

Another homer post, but that is all I know about. Jasper. Another new coach, a Barbay this time. Brother of Coldspring coach, son of former longtime highly successful Newton coach.

Scuttlebutt on the boards and around town is that this years soph/junior classes are the most talented in years. Don't know if that is true, but if it is that is saying something since Jasper currently has two playing in the NFL, one of whom was a first round draft pick.

It is a long shot since Jasper only had a 6-5 record last year (but with a young team & soph QB). But this thread appears to be asking for the long shot. Jasper seems to fit that description this year.

I know Jasper has had some talented athletes in the past, and if this Barbay coaches anything like his brother at Coldspring, that would be a strong formula for success.
Who are the two current NFL players from Jasper?

Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Atlanta. 17th player taken in draft 2 or 3 years ago. Played at Missouri. Some at Missouri claim he was the best LB in the history of the school.

Red Bryant, Seattle, DE. Played at Tx A&M. Just re-signed for $35 million if I remember correctly.

Got it but I think he lived in Jasper for a time. I know he had an aunt that lived. Talked to several people who know him. Oh well I guess since he played football in Ada they got that claim.
