DCTF State Title Projections

[Saggy Aggie]

Tepper posted on Twitter that the DCTF computer projections have the following teams playing in the championship through 5 weeks:

D1: Carthage v LaVega
D2: Lorena v WOS

Hmm.....

[Saggy Aggie]

3A:

D1: Goliad v Gladewater
D2: Cisco v Newton

[Saggy Aggie]

5A :

D1: Lufkin v Hutto
D2: Aledo v Manvel

5A :

D1: Lufkin v Hutto
D2: Aledo v Manvel

Hutto won't get there. Not enough D. to beat Angleton or Shadow Creek who both have enough to slow down a Hippo.

It's crazy that there are only 5 undefeateds left in 4A D2 after 5 games: Lorena, Jasper, Sweeny, Fort Stockton and Rio Hondo.

WO-S vs Jasper should be very telling this Friday. The 3 teams WO-S has lost to and Jasper are a combined 17-0 so don't let our record fool you.

Now 18-0. WOS is indeed a salty team. Last night Jasper proved to be just a bit better. WOS has nothing to be ashamed of with their play last night. Good luck in District, and in the playoffs!

Man I do not know..They have that Sulphur Springs 2008 feel, they just outscored everyone on the way to State Title. When I saw Hutto against LH that was the first team I thought of.

Don’t let the Barneys or the Argylians see this....

The Barney’s have taken note as have the Argylians. We are arranging an overthrow of these blasphemous predictions and have agreed to meet in Arlington on December 21st...

Argylians most probably gets another "L" to make it grammatically correct, but I could be wrong about this. Argyllians or Argylians......either way they are not too terribly concerned at this juncture.....only when it gets down to the meat and potatoes of winning the region

[Matthew328]

one note of clarity those are the computer rankings; which although good, are as Tepper says "an unfeeling robot" it's only taking into account the data that it has so some of the rainouts, games that ended early, injuries or additions aren't being accounted for just yet....

We always have two sets of rankings and projections, the computer ratings and our staff ratings/projections

I like LV vs Carthage. I think that will be the title game. It’s going to come down to LV and Argyle in R2. I think the winner of that will roll over any team in R1. It’s hard to beat a great team twice. I think LV’s early loss to Argyle will be what helps them win the rematch if it happens. I haven’t even looked at the brackets so I am not sure what round they would meet, but to me those 2 teams are clearly the best.

I do not believe there is a team on Carthage’s side of the bracket that will keep the Dawgs from Jerry World. I know LH fans won’t like this, but you are not beating Carthage running the ball in the Slot or Wing T. Carthage is too big, physical, and well coached. Even if LH has success in the 1st half Darren Preston will make his adjustments and shut it down 2nd half. You have to have a balanced attack and/or superior talent/athletes to beat Carthage.

Honestly this Carthage program is getting scary good. They used to lose games early while everybody got it figured out. That is not even happening anymore. It is now finely tuned on the lower levels. Our 8th and 9th grade rarely losses games over the last 3-4 years. Just seems like the program has taken that next step as crazy as that sounds. And the participation is ridiculous. Carthage truly has 6a numbers. 55-60 kids on the varsity with less than 800 students in the HS is unheard of.

This was supposed to be a slightly down year, but they keep winning. We thought this senior class was one of our weaker classes, but the kids have worked their asses off and are playing at a very high level. For those that see Carthage this year, they will look a lot different than you are used to seeing. The next 2 years Carthage will be back with the elite skill kids. This year we really only have 1, Kelvontay Dixon. The rest of the guys are just hard working smart kids. And they are playing lights out. Great to see.

If LaVega wins the district then Argyle would have to beat Stephenville for a second time...

Sounds like a real Goliath of a Program.
