8. Llano (5-2, 25-3A)
9. South San Antonio (5-2, 26-3A)
10. Yoakum (3-4, 29-3A)
11. LaVernia (5-2, 27-3A)
12. Medina Valley (5-2, 27-3A)
13. Hidalgo (4-3, 32-3A)
14. Sinton (2-5, 30-3A)
15. Port Isabel (5-2, 32-3A)

Notes:
-I noticed something crazy while looking through the district standings. In all of Region IV, only District 30 carries six teams. With the exception of District 25 (which only has four teams), everyone else is in a five-team district. Compare that to Region II (only one five-team district, one eight-team district, everyone else has six teams) and Region III (THREE eight-team districts, only one five-team district, everyone else has six) and you realize how much depth Region IV lacks. Approximately 1/3 of the playoff teams in the Region could conceivably go into the postseason with a losing record.
-I didn't realize how good South San was until I checked out their schedule. Don't know what happened against Sabinal, but they've hung in with, and beaten, a few 4A schools that Dave predicted to make the playoffs. You want a darkhorse in R4, there's your Huckleberry.
-Look at Yoakum's schedule and you can't help but think the same thing. Losses to a quietly powerful LaGrange squad (33-21 loss), a 4A Port Lavaca-Calhoun team that's been tearing up its opponents and is in the middle of a battle for their district crown (21-7 loss), a ranked 2A team and the top-ranked 3A team.

Thoughts? Comments? See it a different way? Post 'em.

The top three for sure. From there, It's proof of how weak Region 4 is right now. Sinton at 2-5 should not be ahead of Port Isabel or Medina Valley. IMO. Also, I just can't help but think Rio Hondo's schedule is a factor with their undefeated record.

14 teams in Region IV will NOT make the playoffs. That is a sad commentary on our illustrious UIL and their money hungry playoff system.

My comments on this ranking:

Rio Hondo is overrated and Medina Valley is underrated.

Also, were's La Vernia. They should be in the top 10.

RH isn't as overrated as everyone seems to think. Like I've said before, I think everyone will start to notice Ingleside making waves in the playoffs, and IMO they'll (easily) be a top-five team in the region when it's all said and done, and RH gave us a hell of a game in the playoffs last year. They returned all their studs and look like they're rolling.

I know they get the "Valley" label, but they'd be favored against just about anyone in the region this side of Cuero and Wimberley. They're on the same level as Hondo.


And after looking at Medina Valley's (http://www.maxpreps.com/FanPages/Team.mxp/Texas/Boys_Varsity_Football_Fall_06-07/AreaID-d875da65-2a53-4d22-a847-d95b2f25389a/SchoolID-3ba24937-9883-4a4f-b91c-500589c44b35) schedule the first time, I just wasn't sold on them being a top team in the region. But I guess they should be up in the 9-13 range. I'll adjust accordingly.

You're right about LaVernia. I originally had them ranked ahead of Hidalgo, but must've deleted them when I was shuffling all the teams.

The rankings have been adjusted accordingly.

M-V also lost to Brack to put them at 5-3. I wouldn't call them over or underrated. They're what you'd expect from a 5-3 team.

Think that's actually supposed to be S.A. Southwest. South San is still in 29-4A.

Uh no, it's actually West Campus. That's what we call it in San Antonio.

It's gets kind of confusing. You have South San, South San West Campus, and Southwest....
