Anyone know how Ingleside did in their scrimmage?
Rockport did well vs CC Ray in the scrimmage last week.
Not a single play of slot-T from Jay Seiberts pirates. Thats not a typo.
Also new OC and DC over here on the peninsula. Definitely a new look for this team.
I want to say it was 1 - 0 in favor of Ray
Meanwhile..... in 16 4A DII
Progreso vs. Pharr Valley View - http://rgvsports.com/news/84767/red-...in-encouraged/
Port Isabel vs. Santa Rosa - http://rgvsports.com/news/84764/tarp...ositive-notes/
Still looking for articles on Rio Hondo and Raymondville.
Went to see La Vernia/Wimberley both look good! post bit of scrimmage once i upload and get it ready. La Vernia might be favorite in D1 in R4.
Found the article for the Rio Hondo scrimmage. Still trying to find info on how Raymondville did.
Rio Hondo vs. Lyford - http://rgvsports.com/news/84770/bobc...inst-bulldogs/
Rio Hondo looks like two good scrimmages, PI better start this season in their scrimmages.
Matt(TFDC) has D15 and D16 in his picks
D15
1.Rockport-Fulton
2.Sinton
3.West Oso
4.Ingleside
5.Orange Grove
6.Robstown
D16
1.Raymondville
2.Port Isabel
3.Rio Hondo
4.Progreso
Sinton did show a bit of a spark to start the season but they have rough stretch in their first 4 games as does Rockport-Fulton records might not be there early but i think both rebound in district. West Oso might be better this season after going 3 rounds.
Raymondville has some good pieces back lose a coach or two? Port Isabel gets back the coach's son lost last season to injury should help to add to the offense. Rio Hondo looks like have reloaded after two scrimmages. Progreso is playoff bound.
Think it was Ingleside 3 Taft 0 in their scrimmage.
I have D15 going....
1. West Oso
2. Rockport
3. Sinton
4. Ingleside
5. Orange Grove
6. Robstown
As for D16......that's a much tougher district to pick but, for now....
1. Raymondville
2. Port Isabel
3. Rio Hondo
4. Progreso
The X-Factor, though, is Raymondville. They lost a lot of their skill players, and also lost their Defensive Coordinator who became a head coach elsewhere in the RGV. If it turns out Raymondville isn't as strong defensively, there's a chance Port Isabel and/or Rio Hondo could beat them.
It'll definitely be something to keep an eye on.
As for Rio Hondo, don't put too much stock in them just yet. They did graduate a ton of kids last year and most of their team was JV last year. While they looked good in their scrimmages, they dominated a projected bottom of the barrel Brownsville Lopez team, and only managed 3 scores against a slightly above average 3A DI team in Lyford. Their first opponent is a 6A team that is projected to do pretty well this year. Let's see how they respond to the significant increase in difficulty first before we start drawing any conclusions.
Port Isabel has been slowly but steadily improving since the start of last season with the late arrival of their new coach. The Tarpons competed well against a Brownsville Pace team that made the playoffs in 5A DI last season, and showed flashes of dominance at times last week against Santa Rosa, a 3A DI playoff team last season. Take into consideration that at this time last year, the Tarpons were dominated completely by Pace, and were beaten by Santa Rosa in their scrimmages. This week, the Tarpons face a Brownsville Porter team that only won 1 game last season.....that win was against Port Isabel. The Tarpons will be looking for payback. IMO, if the Tarpons blow out Porter, then expect them to do well the rest of the season. If the Tarpons struggle or......lose, then it may be a long year for the Tarpons.
Ingleside starts out with San Diego at home this week. They gave us a butt whoopin last year.
