Sinton has the toughest district schedule! [Archive]

I won't argue over who has the toughest district but Sinton has the toughest and roughest district schedule. I have already written how tough and rough the non-district schedule was but now it is time to talk about the district. Tomorrow night we have to face the Goliad Tigers. This is a great team that beat an outstanding Edna team so they are dangerous. They are 4 - 1 for this year too. Several years ago on a rainy wet field Goliad beat Sinton 6 to 2. Even though the weather is supposed to be clear and humid tomorrow the field will be wet. That increases the risk.
Next will be the game with Aransas Pass who is 6 - 0. Plus they have a great coach and that quarterback transfer from G-P is extremely dangerous. A tough game for Sinton.
Then we play Mathis who is always tough. Remember they went to State just a few years ago and always play tough with Sinton.
Then we play Ingleside who is becoming a power who has only lost one game this year to the powerful Zapata Hawks. They have a new dynamic coach that has really turned this team into a district powerhouse. A tough way for Sinton to end the regular season.

phil, there you go with the adjectives again ....

goliad beat sinton on a wet field years ago, hardly relevant now ...

mathis went to the state final in 1999, hardly relevant now ...

yes Sinton has a tough schedule, but one could argue that Goliad (or any other district team) has the "toughest and roughest district schedule", after all they have to play Sinton !!!!

;) yup..im fairly confident the Mustangs will beat Goliad and Mathis...but AP will be tough and Sinton will be an uphill battle for sure.

AP 6-0, Ingleside 5-1, Mathis and Goliad 4-2, Who cares, who have they played?

The teams they have played have a combined record of 48 - 80. They have played 14 - 3A schools and 9 - 2A schools and one Private, no 4A Schools. The only quality school that Ingleside and Mathis played was Zapata, and they got their tails handed to them.

I have to 100% disagree with you once again, as usual.

Sinton's district and non-district schedule couldn't hold a candle to Atlanta's. However, you are biased and I know that. Nonetheless, you're wrong.

Have a great day playing soccer!

Have a great day playing soccer! i have to disagree to a point..Sinton's non district schedule was ROUGH....Gregory Portland was ranked in the top 5 in the state 4A, and Cuero was #1 in 3A. to me..that constitutes "rough schedule"

This is Atlanta's non-distrcit:

Kilgore #5 4A
Hallsville #17 4A
Mt. Pleasant #72 4A
Carthage #37 3A
Texas High #9 4A

Sinton's non-district:

Taft #138 in 2A
Gregory-Portland #1 in 4A
CC Oso #131 in 3A
Beeville Jones #132 in 4A
Cuero #4 in 3A
Orange Grove #116 in 3A

Let's take a vote from people who aren't from Sinton to take that vote.

To me it's obvious! Then again, I'm not biased...I'm from Austin so I could care less about Atlanta. But I had to prove my point!

I wasn't going to go into the non-district schedule thing now but since it is brought up:

Taft - always tough when they play Sinton. Season rankings and records and classifications go out the window when these two teams play. The games are nearly always very close.

Gregory-Portland ranked No. 2 in 4A football. No need to elaborate here.

Beeville - a new coach that has had great success at Mathis leading Mathis to the State Championship. That made Beeville a dangerous team.

West Oso - a good consistent team that makes the playoffs. At the time Sinton played them they received several top ten votes so that shows they are tough.

Cuero - the No. 1 Team in the State in 3A. Plus we had to play them in Cuero during their homecoming. Always makes it tougher.

Orange Grove - a good tough team that consistently makes the playoffs.

Still not tougher than Atlanta's....sorry!

I remember when Schulenburg and Refugio were the powerhouses of 2A. Goldthwaite was as well. Before them, Groveton.

Yet TAFT isn't in the same league as any of those teams back in the day.

LOL...thats cause all the talent from Taft has been transfering to Sinton for YEARS now....hence why Taft hasnt had a team in ages and Sinton HAS....Sinton's talent is pooled from Sinton AND Taft. nothing against the kids from Taft that transfer to Sinton, its a much bigger, nicer school.

Sinton's non-district schedule was amongst the toughest out there and that was by design. Sinton will be better prepared for district and the play-offs because of the dog fights they were in. Having a winning record before district does not mean your a better team. In fact one could argue that losing a non-district game can sometimes be good for a team. I for one would rather risk a loss to the GP's and Cuero's of the world for the betterment of the team then to play less inferior teams and have a winning record. :clap:

Sinton must have a pretty good crystal ball for future talent, because Adrian moved to Sinton in the third grade! Every school has kids that have transferred there for one reason or another! Old topic with no backbone!

Nobody said Webb did not start at AP. He is not from GP!! Please read the post carefully. But by the way Webb was not the starting QB at AP, he played a different position. But with their offense the QB does not need to be a stud, because he mostly hands the ball off.

No pill needed we're cool, :cool: but if your going to quote rumors at least be original and make up new ones! This one is over three years old.

P.S. Looking for a QB willing to relocate for 2009/2012 season. Must be at least 6'-0" and run a 4.5. Guaranteed to start and jobs for your parents. Tryouts coming to a vacant lot near you in 2005. :D :D :D :thumbsup:

Webb started in AP, but you're right, not as QB. That position belongs to my son. You're also right, Coach Soza "being an old running back himself" believes in a ground game. My son only had passing plays sent in during the last West Oso game. He went 4 for 6 and 147 yards. Not bad for a first effort.

The transfer to AP from GP was a quarterback, but he is no longer on our roster.
