3A Downlow 2008 Top 25 (Pre-Season) - 07/15/08

[LH Panther Mom]

Please submit your Pre-Season top 25 rankings here.

If you do not submit a top 25, you have NO room to gripe once the results are in. Since this is the preseason and folks are still reading, learning, etc, rankings may be posted through Tuesday night, July 15, then results will be tabulated and posted Wednesday, July 16, then posted on the homepage. (Click on the home button at the top right, then "State Top 20".)

First place ranking will receive 25 points; twenty-fifth place ranking will receive 1 point. Please try to be realistic in your rankings....homerism is okay if warranted. One set of rankings per poster, please.

Don't be shy - there are no correct or incorrect rankings. Here's a look at the 2007 FINAL rankings to give you an idea, if your out of the loop. 2007 final rankings (http://bbs.3adownlow.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=74076)

***IF YOU HAVE COMMENTARY ABOUT SOMEONE'S POLL*** please post it (with the top 25 in question quoted) on this "random comments" (http://bbs.3adownlow.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=83654) thread.

Well.........based on the last couple of years, and what some teams lost as far as players, and this will probably ruffle a few feathers, but I will rank the teams like this:

1. Celina
2. China Spring
3. Cuero
4. Liberty Hill
5. Carthage
6. Abilene Wylie
7. Jasper
8. Gilmer

I don't see how anyone would put the 2 time defending champ, Liberty Hill, any lower than #1 or #2. They will proove themselves once again by the end of the season.

Liberty Hill
Celina
Brownwood
Abilene Wylie


Here is my top 4. There are plenty of good teams from 5 - 20. i agree with most everyones list, those teams can play. I like my top two - - you are still the champ until someone beats you. Brownwood has some impressive players and will be hard to beat, but they are in a salty district. Wylie, Snyder, Sweetwater and Graham are winnning programs. Abilene Wylie always comes on in week 7 or 8 and they become tough to beat. As always, I believe 3A ball is very competitve and there are many good programs run by fine coaches. Good luck to everyone.
