Mavchamp Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Random thoughts: District 9 Going to be a KILLER basketball district. Sulphur Springs and MP have dominated East Texas on the court of late. Marshall and Longview are no slouches.... and Texas High isn't an easy win either. Should be a heck of a race. Soccer race should be pretty good too. MP has been one of the most successful 5A programs around. Sulphur Springs usually isn't too far behind. Longview is usually strong. Should be a great three team race. Pine Tree has history too. Hallsville, Texas High, Marshall are all behind the 8-ball looks like. Baseball should be an outstanding race too with Hallsville, Texas High, Marshall, and Sulphur Springs. Pine Tree is always formidable too. The softball race should also be a tight one with Hallsville, Sulphur Springs, Marshall, and Texas High. Track could be one of the best around with Longview, Marshall, Hallsville, Texas High, and Pine Tree. Tennis between Texas High and Longview.... Pine Tree and Hallsville not too far behind. Golf could be entertaining too with Hallsville. Longview, Marshall, Texas High, and Pine Tree. Volleyball should be outstanding with Hallsville, MP, Texas High, and SS. Should be some great races in all non-football sports. This thread is intended to keep up with all East Texas 5A from September-May. Good luck to everyone. Can't wait to see the football talk get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, Longview's boys went 7-1 against both East Texas districts last season. Soccer, I'm really disappointed our boys and girls didn't get to finish their seasons, They were two of the better teams we've had in recent years, which is saying a lot with how well we've been the last decade or longer. We'll see how our girls basketball team will respond not having to play Horn and Rockwall. I know we lost to Mount Pleasant for the first time in our history last season. But it was an upset and down season like no other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 As for East Texas teams, Longview will beat HP.... but JT isn’t at HP level. No disrespect to JT, just the way it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nac graduated most of their B2B District Co-Championship Basketball team. Volleyball should be Whitehouse's to lose. Boys and Girls Basketball looks like Huntsville will be pretty good. Jax on the girls side as well!! Girls Softball looks like Jacksonville will be the favorites. Boys and Girls Swimming will be Nac as the favorite Baseball looks to be between Whitehouse, Jax and Lufkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANTI Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Wouldnt be surprised if Texas High is the team to beat in R3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 I don’t think just making the playoffs satisfies Marshall.... or Lufkin... or...or JT... Texas High. I think we all have higher expectations than just making it to the playoffs. Sure.... there are some programs that are just happy to qualify in the district. And others that don’t even have that expectation yet. Bar is set higher for others. Just like I think we all long to be at HP’s and Longview’s level.

I didn’t say they achieve said goals. No one would be shocked if Lp won State . Heck even Marshall wouldn’t be a wow factor. The rest would be shocking to a extreme. Half of them are excited about just making the playoffs. I agree. Dropping helps. Schools like Henderson had to drop to finally win a title.

Some programs take time but get it done . School up the road from Henderson won it the year they dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team changes year to year but 3-8 can’t instill a bunch of confidence against a Traditionally Great program . When scheduling was made you know only one that was taken notice was Longview. Respect does that . I am pulling for JT to change that perception. Hope it happens for JT. Gotta find a QB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To tell you truth some JT fans are ok with being mediocre. Hinge why Holmes is still the coach.. Hince why we will barley make the playoffs again smh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less than a DEEP playoff run for LV, LUFKIN, MARSHALL, and a SELECT few JT fans is disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR DE Jaylen Green, SR DE/OLB Clayton Smith, SR LB Jackson Halter, JR LB Javarous Tyson, SR S Caleb Arnold, JR S Darrin Finley, SR DB Lajontae Wrightner Smith and Arnold getting the most FBS attention.

Mavchamp Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I consider the third round a deep run. That’s top 4 in your region. 4th round is historical. 5th is rare. Anything after that is once in a lifetime. I know how blessed we are as Maverick fans. Just in my lifetime I’ve seen a state championship, two state runner ups, a semifinals, couple of quarterfinals, and I’m willing to bet 5-6 region semis. And I refuse to belittle those first and second round losses. Some of those seasons were amazing fun just didn’t end how we wanted them to Very blessed and grateful And craving more!!!
