I see that 3A stays pretty dead on this forum, but I thought I would give it a proper thread anyways. What's everyone's thoughts on 3AD1 this year? Who do y'all have picked to be standing at the end?

Goliad. "If" they survive that brutal district schedule against Edna, Hallettsville and Yoakum.
YnoT us?
That will be interesting. Looks as if the Yoakum/Goliad game last year wasn't really a contest. I know Yoakum lost a lot to graduation, but they obviously know something about beating them, because they've done it 2 years in a row. Looks like they've got a pretty good trio though in QB/RB/WR.

Yeah, Goliad is loaded. Ex-Yoakum coach as HC, so he knows us well. We (Yoakum) did lose a lot at RB, WR. But, very talented kid's to fill them vacancy's. But, till they do it as starters at varsity level, has to be a question mark certainly. Having 2 dependable, and above average senior QB's (one likely moving to a WR spot however) behind a veteran line ---helps to develop those new replacements at RB. Lanes will be open. Backs just need to be patient, let it develop -- then hit with their blazing speed.
On defense, we will be better as majority returns. And those newbies slotted in as starters, got plenty of reps last year in most games. Bo, loves playing the entire roster. Should pay off hopefully this year?
Your Rabbits certainly appear set to make a serious run to Jerry's World. Wow, are they loaded or what? Best of luck bud, and enjoy the ride this season.

I grew up in Daingerfield. I recall back in the day---the Epps Brothers from Atlanta. Boy, they were amazing. I recall a 6-3 final one year, Atlanta beating us, in Atlanta. Winner got into playoffs as district champ. Like around 1979'ish if memory serves me correct. Some very talented teams stayed home when playoffs started back then.
YnoT us?
We have some real good players coming back, that's for certain. Only thing we really lack is size, but that's nothing new here.
Yea 79' would be a bit before my time, but I have heard the Epps name a lot. And yes, lots of very talented teams stayed at home back in the day. It also used to not matter who you played either. Atlanta's past schedules have tons of schools that they wouldn't dare be paired up with now, both big and small. Crazy how things change with time.

Yoakum, Goliad, Edna, and Hallettsville will ALL survive to play for a regional championship in the playoffs this season if all goes well for each team. George West is another team that could make some noise in the playoffs in Region 4. What about Marion??? Will they be a playoff contender this season?
Yesterdays are gone forever and tomorrows may never happen, but today you have the opportunity to make a difference.
Helloooooooo? Where’s all the 3A posters? My Yoakum Bulldogs are gearing up for another long run into the playoffs. I’m hearing Jerry Longs Edna Cowboys have some studs and Goliad wants some payback, Bring it on!
Dog's coming along OG. Vet line, should create some running lanes. Senior QB's (one will be primary WR/S). Solid corp of RB's and WR's. Overall, I think team is ahead of last years team. Corners need to improve in coverage. Bo will have them where they need to be come playoffs. If they could win a game or two in non-district games ( Boerne, Cuero, Gonzales, Needville, Sinton) I'd be happy. An 0-5 start would not surprise me either. They're district encounters with Hallettsville, Edna and Goliad, no walks in the park there either. They better come ready each Friday night.
