upullinmychain Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Is there a team flying under the radar or coming into their own that's being missed? Is there a sleeper that will explode into the scene and upset some folks that aren't paying close attention? Or is it playing out along the lines that everyone expected? This week could be the turning point in some districts that upsets some apple carts.. Anybody care to hazard a guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomer Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I think the Beckville and Timpson teams are starting to open up some peoples eyes. I'm serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion1996 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I’d think SA is under the radar a little. They have a relatively easy path to round 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upullinmychain Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Yeah SA line is huge and the backs are good, if young qb gets hot they could be the sleeper that wrecks some dreams.. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upullinmychain Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm curious because in the past, teams have had a couple playmakers that were hurt during predistrict that turned team's around when they got healthy and hit about midway thru dist play.

Easttxmaniac Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 As of now I think Carlisle has to be the fav. Then Garrison. Tenaha/SA are young and will only get better. One of these imo will win region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upullinmychain Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Anyone have key playmakers out or diminished by injuries? In smaller classification's they usually contribute to the overall team, playing both ways and special teams anyone missing a gamechanger rite now?

Yep you are rite about that, that's why I am curious about somebody who may have struggled early trying to find their identity and seem to maybe coming to the front later in dist. Timpson could claim that distinction if the take down their opponent this week. Or maybe some one who just started to peak at the present time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Garrison/Tennyha are a toss up depending on many factors to be decided Friday night ... SA/Timpson could be dangerous ... Alto, LK, Beckville who knows Carlisle looks to be the favorite right now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAPACK1 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I think, as a whole, 2A-D1 is down this year in this region with the PC Injuns being the favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so much sure that it's down as I am that there is some parity.. Teams are learning what works and how to play each other more competitively.. True, some teams that are perennial power teams could be faltering but as a whole teams that annually seem to be cellar dwellers are stepping up their game, be it by athletes or new coaching blood..

Jmho I think overall, it's the strongest region ... I see some teams ranked in the top 10 in other regions in some polls that I question their ranking. I don't think there are as many good teams outside of our region as we have, thus you get teams ranked because they are the best in their regions but maybe haven't faced many other top teams .... that scenario seems to play out most years ...

True.. Some of those teams are questionable and some are rock solid almost every year ie. Mason, Shiner rugo, Mart when they were D1.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgPound73 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Lots of good teams in region 3. District 9 is not getting any love, I know Centerville has given us an early exit in the past. It is all playing out right now, know more about it this Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CV had a lot of seniors last year that won a bunch of games In their 4 years. I’m sure you give them a year or so and they will be back. This district doesn’t have a team that can compete with any of the top teams in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a bad game and still beat them 20-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Region 1&2 nowhere near as good as region 3. Region 4 is only 2 or 3 teams. Stop hating on region 3, we tryin. The AP and other knucklehead polls like Lone Star Gridiron are always going to throw teams from every region in their top 10, deserving or not. Dave Campbell's even does it pre season I believe to sell magazines ... Over half of their top 10 teams always fall by the wayside early in the playoffs because they never were worthy of their early rankings .... many were just "place holder" rankings to represent all regions ...

I aint hating, its just my opinion based on the fact that there is no clear cut favorite. Maybe chain is right, instead of everyone being down maybe all the teams are better for the most part. I know Tenaha moving up only strengthened the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upullinmychain Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm thinking one of these two will have a hell of a collision with Shiner.. Js Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alto44 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 In my opinion, which doesn’t amount to much, after playing Garrison and Carlisle, Carlisle is the clear favorite between those two. If Garrison hangs tough in the Tenaha or beats them, then Carlisle is the favorite for this region. Carlisle is very good, and well coached. I think Garrison is good, but Carlisle could get to play at Jerry’s World. Their #5 at Q.b may be the best Athlete I’ve seen in a long time, and the rest of the team ain’t bad either.

KirtFalcon Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Mason is always tough ... the Punchers knocked us out in the semifinals in 2011 ... they won their first state championship that year ....
