Kick Snyder out and put Graham in their spot. Put Sweetwater as
"also recieving votes".:thinking:

[Bullaholic]

We need a P.O.O.H pre-season from LHPM to even things up...

3. Kaufman
4. Bellville
5. Celina
6. Cuero
7. Gilmer
8. Liberty Hill
9. Aransas Pass
10. Port Isabel

I'm a firm believer that defending champs get placed #1 until proven otherwise.

Feel free to rip me on the rest!

No Region IV team should be ranked ahead of anyone in 2-3A.:mad:

Yes that includes Breckenridge.:D

[BOCEPHUS]

u dun left out 1 semi-finalist that got 6 back on both sides, and 3-1,000+ yard rushers.

Well if I was making a poll for Tennessee maybe I would have included Backwoods!

[waterboy]

Okay.....okay.......Kepdawg! You obviously didn't get the memo: Gilmer CANNOT be ranked #1!:doh: That's just the Downlow rule, I didn't make it.:D

[Corn Cob]

Sinton, Port Isabel, and Aransas Pass being ranked in any Top 10 Poll is downright hilarious!

While we (Sinton) may not be on the same level these days with some of the other teams in our region or have the titles, in football, we do okay, like us or not!

do you know something I don't ? :thinking: :D

[Twirling Time]

Kaufman's definitely a team to watch in 2009. They had underclassmen all over the field, and Hughey is going to be a very special player when he matures.

No. He was a senior this year. The Dawgs lose most of their skill position players to graduation, but on the bright side for Carthage they get everybody but the center back on that offensive line that was so dominating.:doh:

that line was the most important piece, for sure!

btw i picked kaufman for a reason

i'm feeling that they will be there for a while

Heck no...I actually made those picks up on the fly and have done absolutely zero research to back any of them up...I just threw something against the wall to see if it would stick.

THE BACKWOODS TN "BUFFALOES" DON'T NEEDZ NO RANK'EN, THEY NO GET NO PROPS LAST AUGUST, THEY NO GET NONE THIS AUGUST, BUT THEY STILL BE PLAY'EN IN DECEMBER, BUT U RITE, THEY AIN'T NO GOOD

[oldtownag]

is blackshire coming back for carthage? [/B]

The backup quarterback was a stud. He played in the Henderson game and was awesome.:clap:

[orange machine]

I would have Argyle in the top 10 for sure they return around 30 players and most of the skill position players are back.

[Dogman_1969]

I'd put Rockdale in there as well. They return 6 guys that started on offense and 9 off the defense.

Should be better next season due to the experience of a 9-3 regional team and about 25 or so Seniors next season.

Stay tuned....................

I'd also add Giddings to the mix. They made believer out of us by going on to face Carthage in the semi's. They should be very solid again.......

The only thing that could be termed dominating was Dewey Smith. Most of the damage was done outside not in the middle .

Now he is gone...big big hole to fill...
There is no doubt without Smith Celina wins easily...and CElina gets back most of the team minus McCartney and Charlie Waldrip


Will just wait and see on next year.

[orange machine]

I would have to disagree. That offensive line was flat out awsome. Smith was also awsome, but that oline smashed us all night long. They were by far the biggest and best oline we have faced in a long time.

[WTF-82]

1 Celina
2 Carthage
3 Gilmer
4 Abilene Wylie
5 Cuero
6 Prosper
7 Liberty Hill
8 Monahans
9 China Spring
10 West Orange Stark


Here is the real preseason top 10 for 2009.

[orange machine]

How much longer until Daves Campbell's magazine comes out?

[WTF-82]

I noticed Sweetwater JV went 1-8 and Fresh went 4-5 what was the problem.

I was just surprised to see these numbers.

The Sweetwater Fresh did beat Snyder Fish 8-6 that always good for them. But I hear Snyder Fresh were really weak.

[Tres Lobos]

everyone better look out for monahans in 2009. The people who were at the bridgeport vs monahans game can all tell you how good a player Titus is. We got many to go around him too

You missed that one alaskacat...their line was AWESOME! I could have run for 200 yards on Friday.

Missed you at the M&G! See you next year!

[Aesculus gilmus]

There is no doubt Gilmer should be ranked No. 1 going into 2009.

The apprehension among the Gilmer faithful arises from the fact that the last time this occurred was before the 2006 season.

But Aesculus, there IS a rule now, due to that '06 season, that says Gilmer SHALL not be ranked #1 in ANY poll until AFTER they win the state championship. That is according to the by-laws of the 3A Downlow community! I'm very optimistic and I just hope they can live up to the pre-season billing. I know they'll be good, but they still have to EARN that recognition as #1 on the field.;)

You get my vote.....I think this kid goes all-state next season---he is that athletic. I wouldn't count your Lobos out, either, with that nucleus returning.

24. Graham
25. Diboll

Let's just say that there is good reason to expect Gilmer, Celina, Liberty Hill, Abilene Wylie, and WOS to be near the top, like every year. However, look out for Prosper, Rockdale, Monahans, and Bellville to make strong runs in their respective regions.

My early darkhorse for winning it all in one of the divisions is Monahans.

Yeah, you didn't read the memo, either?? And you're a moderator?? I thought y'all agree to put that into the by-laws after the Buckeyes loss in the first round in '06. Some were saying that the Buckeye fans were nearly as bad as the Brownwood fans this year..........:D Don't blame me, though, I wasn't a member of this here board at that time and didn't know about it, either.:doh:

Awwwwhh, man! I guess I just assumed again!:doh: I kid.....I kid!:)

I guess not! I never agreed to anything! I love the Buckeyes! Buckeye fans are no different than any other rabid fan base on this board, IMO.

That's perfectly fine with me! We've been overlooked in the preseason before and have usually done better in those seasons than we have when starting the season with a target on our backs, most notoriously in 1987 when we weren't even predicted to win our district but went 15-0, ended up ranked #15 in the USA Today national poll, and more importantly were 4A State Champs

Go ahead and put us as #177

:D

[cameron91]

with the people cameron have coming back they should be included in the top 20.

but then if they loose their ball coach , I guess I'll be in that maybe next year section again..

4A? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE IN 3A? :rolleyes:

[griff]

87, you don't have to go back that far. WO-S wasn't picked to win district two years ago (we had a really young team), but still made it to the third round of the playoffs.

WO-S will definitely be in the mix in '09.

[pirate4state]

51-8 over 5 seasons in 3A
2004: bi-district loss to Huffman-Hargrave 28-30 (first year in 3A)
2005: semi-final loss to eventual state champs Wimberley 29-52
2006: area round loss to Giddings 13-21
2007: qtr final loss to La Vega 12-20
2008: qtr final loss to Gilmer 23-35

No championships, but not a bad run, IMO.

We had a team last year that shouldn't have even made the playoffs and finished runner-up. Returning 8 and 7 from district runner up. We will win the district. Lost to many to injuries and stupidity in track this year or we would have three peated.
