A Timpson loss opens up a Pandora’s box of possibilities...Garrison would be the 3 seed; LK could claim the 4 seed with a win; A Tenaha win in this scenario would create a 4 way tie for 4th between Timpson, Beckville, LK and Tenaha...Tenaha and Beckville would be 2-1 against the others, LK & Timpson would be 1-2.

In my opinion the top three teams in the region are SA 1, Groveton 2, and Alto 3. Personally I think Groveton wins there side of the bracket and plays SA for the regional championship. 

[upullinmychain]

I personally think if Alto and Grove play, Alto wins by 21, and their defense will score 14 of those on pics.. Js.

We will see Alto has to get by Joaquin first

[wildcat001]

From what I’ve seen, I dont think groveton can hang with Alto. Altos d-line and linebackers will get to grovetons qb before he has time to go through his progressions. But groveton has to beat BS before that. And alto has to beat Joaquin. I think Alto will handle Joaquin. Groveton should win vs BS but you never know what BS team you’ll get you might get one that can route Groveton by a couple tuddy’s. You just never know with them.

I’ve got SA, Carlisle, Alto, and Big Sandy advancing. I gotta be the homer with the pick BS over Groveton!

Harleton 

[villagegenius]

Since it got brought back...I was pretty dang accurate on the bracket prediction...only missed on Joaquin/Harleton. Which let’s be honest here, not many people outside of Harleton were predicting.

Correct

I don’t disagree with the idea that SA and Alto are the odds on favorites to play for a semifinal berth. But I do think Joaquin stands a chance at being this year’s Tenaha. By that I mean they more or less backed into the playoffs then got on a hot streak and rolled off wins that no one expected them to get. I like being the underdog.

I agree with this. Joaquin is a very good ball club and will be a tough out.   I do think that alto pulls it out but Joe will give it a game

I have the region like this:

1 SA

 

2 Alto

3 Grove

4 Joaquin

5 Carlisle 

 

6 Harleton 

 

 

the rest 

 

TBH this is a fairly weak region  this year.  SA may compete in the quarters but I feel like that any one that come out of this region doesn’t beat the region 4 team.  I feel that behind SA there is a clear drop and they should win this region easily.  If Alto and Groveton both win this week look for a battle next week.

Just to be clear, are you saying if Joaquin does pull the upset you think they’ll roll over and play dead for Groveton? Or you think they’ll hang half a hundred on the Injuns? 

[jacketgrad06]

I think them two are neck and neck. If you look at the way I ranked the teams those 3 teams are all together. I think it’s a battle on that side no matter what but the difference is alto and groveton have a hatred that not many schools around here understand for each other. It is a hatred/respect that only comes from battle upon battle between each other. It has fallen off over the last decade but Alto truly only has 2 real rivals and groveton is the most hated. 
 

Alto had a team in the 80’s that lost in the quarterfinals to groveton on a two point conversion that the runner was clearly down and groveton ended up winning the championship.  This was the start of a rivalry between these two that very few schools in this area have.  

 

Honestly it’s a toss up between the 3. So if Joaquin beats alto (which i think they have a good shot to do) there’s a good chance they beat groveton but the atmosphere won’t be the same. 

[jacketgrad06]

All of this is a mute point if San Augustine plays as they should. They win the region easily if they do like they should. Now can they be beat yes but it will take team that plays well and create mistakes.

Looking at Groveton on film, to me they don’t pass the eye test. I think Joaquin/ Alto is a toss-up, honestly, depending on which coaching staff comes up with the best game plan, and which team does the best job of execution. Both are well coached and have a lot of athletic ability on both sides of the ball. But, provided they get out of it relatively injury free, I think the winner of Joaquin/ Alto beats Groveton or BS by 3 TDs. I’ve been wrong before, but I’ve been right a lot more.

Groveton monkey stomps a Timpson team that Joaquin beats 21 to 14. Timpson didn't even score on but not TD on Grovetons first string and they don't pass the eye test... Okay.. Groveton threw three pick 6s against SA or it would have been a different game not saying that SA did a good job game planning. Groveton was missing two of Thier best players and almost beat Buffalo. I personally think Alto will come out of the region especially if they get thier stud receiver back. JMO..

That's interesting if i remember correctly SA already had the game won at the half 42-14, even without those 3 pick 6's which SA caused I don't think Groveton would've made it close.
