[tigerpride_08]

can anyone tell me anything about the teams in our pool...we know about san antonio clark...we've played them...

[WOS1]

I can tell you that both Alvin and Saginaw Boswell made the 64 by winning their SQT. That's all I know...

I just found this:

ALVIN YELLOW JACKETS
How they qualified: Winner, Alvin SQT
Last qualification: N/A
Players to watch: QB James Brown (6-0,
210, 4.6), DB Michael Wightman (6-0,
180, 4.5), WR Chris Williams (6-2, 186,
4.65).
Notes: QB Brown and WR Williams are
both returning players and should have
more than enough chemistry built up to be
a threat.

SAGINAW BOSWELL PIONEERS
How they qualified: Winner, Granbury
SQT.
Last qualification: N/A
Players to watch: QB Taylor Weidman
(6-2, 175, 4.6), WR Paul Jacobs Jr. (6-1,
175, 4.8), LB Sam Best.
Notes: QB Weidman has certainly
improved as a player (2,110 yards total
offense in 2005) during his three-year
tenure as a starter, but he has also grown
as a leader as well: the Pioneers have
posted increasingly better records each
year since he became the starting QB.

More info:

FAVORITES
Alvin: Of all the favorites, Alvin could be the
dark horse. Though picked 6th in district, Alvin
beat district-favorite Pearland in an SQT finals.
Austin Westlake: If QB Nick Foles gets hot,
Westlake could be the team to beat.
Baytown Lee: Two-time champs have another
solid QB in Jeremy Moses, the QB for the 7-on-
7 state champs.
Brenham: Might boast most skill of any qualifier:
Qb Jarrett Lee (LSU pledge), WR/DB
Brandon Collins (UT pledge), CB Shawn
Sullivan (Nebraska pledge).
Copperas Cove: Tons of talent returns for the
Dawgs, including Tech pledge in WR Rashad
Hawk.
Cypress Falls: Falls has one of top receiving
duos in state, not just at 7-on-7, as well as LB
Derek Stephens (A&M pledge) leading the
defense.
Hebron: Brian AuBuchon, one of the catalysts
for the state title run, returns as a seasoned veteran.
Houston Stratford: Not much has been said
about Andrew Luck, but the Stratford QB, at 6-4,
could emerge from this weekend as one to
watch after passing for 1,500 yards in ‘05.
Katy: Though the Tigers needed until July to
qualify, they have plenty of talent to make a run
at the finals.
Lufkin: Think the Pack will want to prove
they’re worthy of their No. 1 ranking in the 2006
DCTF?
Southlake Carroll: Talent never a question
mark for Dragons; having Riley Dodge at QB is
like having a coach on the field.
Tyler John Tyler: Beating crosstown nemesis
Tyler Lee propelled JT, not former champion
Lee, into the favorites category.
Weatherford: Roos are loaded with receivers;
watch out if QB Briley Worthington can get them
the ball consistently.
Wolfforth Frenship: Only a junior, QB Seth
Doege, a Crane transfer, could really bust out
onto the scene with a strong state showing.
Katy Cinco Ranch: Another former champion
with a strong shot at doubling its number of
titles.
CONTENDERS
Abilene: QB Spens Lackey is showing Eagles
can move on past Potts era.
Alamo Heights: An easy-to-remember name,
QB Giovanne Vizza could lead AH far.
Arlington Lamar: Mainstay at state tournament.
Bandera: Look for QB Brandon Hicks to shine.
Bellaire: QB Max Flinn is solid, but surrounding
parts will need to play at his level.
Beaumont Ozen: Best defensive backfield in
competition will be tested.
Brownwood: In this slot more from experience
with passing offenses and less with personnel.
Cypress Fairbaks: Cy-Fair lost 17 starters from
last year’s surprise 10-3 run.
Edcouch-Elsa: Team qualified in El Paso, so
trip to College Station won’t be a factor.
Grapevine: ‘98 runner-ups know a thing or two
about the passing game.
Haltom: Team is making quick transition to a
new coach and system.
Houston Lamar: QB Woods returns to lead
team that went unbeaten in ‘05 regular season.
Katy Taylor: First team to qualify in 2006.
North Mesquite: Might have to rely on defense.
Odessa Permian: Can Mojo recapture magic?
Pearland: The Sam Proctor-Foswhitt Whitaker
connection should strike often.
Plano East: Looks for East to use Chris Slater
in multiple positions.
Saginaw Boswell: QB Taylor Weidman will get
his chance to earn equal footing with some of
the state’s better known passers.
San Benito: New arriver on state scene could
provide fits early on.
Stephenville: Qualifying is good way to begin
life after Jevan Snead.
Tyler Lee: Took the Rebs a while just to qualify.
Victoria Memorial: Vipers love to throw the ball
around.
West Mesquite: Held opponents to a sub-20
point average during its 5-0 tournament run.
West Orange-Stark: This 3A squad usually has
the talent of larger schools.
Wharton: Smallest school (under 700 enrollment)
to make state.
Wylie: Georgia transfer Patrick Witt could be
the tourney’s X-factor.
UNDERDOGS
Alief Elsik: Late qualifier might be happy just to
be here.
Arlington Bowie: Newly hired Coach Perry
already bringing returns to the Vols.
Austin Lake Travis: Post-Todd Reese era off to
good start just by qualifying for state.
Buda Hays: Hays always has talent, but graduation
stripped Rebels of much of it.
Burnet: Rebounding from last year’s 4-6 mark
starts in the summer.
Bryan: The Vikings waited a long time to qualify
- and got drubbed by West Mesquite in the final.
Canton: Longshots to even make it, it’s all
gravy at this point.
Colleyville Heritage: QB Casey Russell has talent,
but will take some time to reach level of his
predecessor.
Cypress Creek: QB Bryan Smith will use state
to transition from his ‘05 DB position.
Cypress Springs: Making it to this point should
help Springs recover from 1-9 mark last year.
El Paso Hanks: Omar Hanks, an undervalued
QB, will strut his stuff on the state scene.
Georgetown: Team still learning new system.
Graham: 3A squad is led by WR Chance
McCoy, younger brother of Colt.
Langham Creek: Langham Creek still trying to
break in successor to Ross Jenkins.
McAllen Rowe: Rowe just needs to make most
of first qualification in two years.
Midlothian: Surprise qualifier looking to continue
string of upsets.
Plano: Had a nice resurgence last season, but
that was in a run-based offense.
Port Arthur Memorial: Once team picks up
Coach Thompson’s approach, Titans will be a
major state player.
Rockwall: Only thing up in the air for Rockwall
is the QB position.
Round Rock: Dragons have two receiving
threats in Alex Russian and James Kirkendoll.
Sherman: Run-oriented QB Taylor Dunlap will
need adapt to 7-on-7 passing style.
Spring Westfield: Not quite as much talent
returns compared to 2005.
San Antonio Clark: QB Justin Vaneck returns
from 1,500-yard campaign.

LOL some of those picks are a question mark.....I guess when you haven't seen the teams personally it hurts some...

Mark it down Plano East will make big noise...

[Matthew328]

Wharton got a decent pool.....none of those teams will strike fear into anyone...Boswell is solid...not gonna overwhelm you with great athletes but they have a solid QB and they are tough in 7 on 7 because they take what you give them and they dont force anything...

[WOS1]

Have you seen most of these teams? If so, what are some of your favorites?

... other than Plano East.;)

[wos fan1]

WOS is in a tough one. Dang Matthew i thought you were going to take care of us? :D

[WOS1]

I think we'll be OK. Just got to make the top 2...

[Cameron Crazy]

Graham has a nice shot!

[WOS1]

Ummmm... Graham may be in the toughest pool in the tournament. :thinking:

[Matthew328]

I would be stunned if Graham finished in the top two of that pool....

[Matthew328]

Here are the teams I have seen

Wylie
Saginaw Boswell
Midlothian
Stephenville
Tyler Lee
John Tyler
Weatherford
Hebron
Arlington Lamar
Odessa Permian
Abilene
Colleyville Heritage
Graham
N. Mesquite
Brownwood
Edcouch-Elsa
Southlake Carroll
Rockwall
Copperas Cove
Haltom
Grapevine

Based on what I have seen and what I know Baytown Lee is the favorite to win the whole thing...Plano East is a close second...Katy Taylor, Brenham, Southlake Carroll and Abilene are some of the other teams who I think can make some noise..

[Cameron Crazy]

OO my bad i didnt even look at the pool they were in i was just blabbing like allways.

At least you're honest! :D

[Dogman_1969]

Hey Matt what did Midlothian look like? I have some friends on the new football staff there and was wondering. I know they are rebuilding but that school is exploding and will open the doors to 2000 students in August.

Just wondering.......

[Dogman_1969]

Who won the consolidated tourney?

yeah...I voted in the other pool that I thought they had a chance to go the deepest of any 3A team...but then I saw this thread and their draw...nevermind! :(

the stadium going up out here is really nice. I sure hope that it's ready by the fall. I'm going to have to catch a game here and/or at the new Mansfield stadium this fall. They are some great looking venues.

[WOS1]

I don't know a thing about Graham (other than their mascot is the Steers, right?), but ANY team, 5A or below, would have a tough time in that pool.

[tigerpride_08]

i'm glad to see we're the smallest school who qualified...and it says we're a contender:D

[Big Boy John]

what pool is Gilmer in.

[Sweetwater Red]

Man, SLC has a 7 on 7 team too. What are they seeking complete
domination of Texas high school football?

Pool H 1. Georgetown 2. Houston Lamar 3. Plano 4. Port Arthur Memorial

Pool K 1. Brownwood 2. Edcouch-Elsa 3. Elisk 4. Southlake Carroll

Pool P 1. Brenham 2. Grapevine 3. Lufkin 4. Stratford
I'll have to check out Lamar/PA Memorial, Brownwood/SLC, and Brenham/Lufkin during pool play. I don't know much about the 7 on 7 squads, but judging from the skill kids that each of those schools have they should be some good games.

[Matthew328]

Midlothian has looked good this summer..they have a great WR and some other usable parts....problem with them is they will always be in a loaded district....right now they have Ennis, Corsicana, Waxahachie, Lancaster and Arlington Seguin in their district....those 5 all went to at least the second round....

They'll be 5A soon and then they'll get to play Cedar Hill, Duncanville, DeSoto and probably the Arlington schools....good luck with all that....Midlo likely will be a doormat...

[Adidas410s]

I don't see too much growth going on in Midlothian right now other than the 287 bypass that is near finished that will help get the constant flow of 18 wheelers from TXI and Chapparal away from the 2-lane roads through town. There is one subdivision going up...but not a lot of homes in there right now.

[Matthew328]

There is growth somewhere in Midlothian...in 6 years they have gone from an enrollment of 1250-1300 to close to 1900....I dunno where its at either but its somewhere
