  1. I don’t think there is such a huge gap between these teams as people are making it out to be. 
     

    Gladewater and Tatum compared to Anahuac and Woodville is probably a push or close to it. 

    Center probably beats both Jasper and WOS this year. 

    Timpson is the one that you really don’t know how to compare them to anyone because of size. 
     

    Folks should probably just realize that if both teams bring their A game, it could be a dandy.

     I disagree with some of this. Give Daingerfield Gilmer or Gunter head coach the last 5 years and I guarantee you it’s some state championships in there . Yes some things starts at home BUT teams feed off the head coach discipline and leadership! Ask Nick Saban. You see he never has discipline issues because he sets the tone 

    Alabama? The team who halfway through the year was leading the country in penalties per game?

    What has West Rusk shown to make you feel like this will be a convincing win? 

    I didn’t say it was going to be. I simply said if they both play their A game. Both have shown that they tend to not play clean, solid, 3 phase football. 
     

    My personal opinion is West Rusk is quite a bit more talented, but are very beatable if they don’t bring their best effort.

    NW............... and probably not close.......... you score more points on newton than jasper and wos thats a big deal..................... yes they put up 80 but i think they are by far the best in region

    By comparison, NW also scored 34 & 35 on Warren and Anderson-Shiro…

    They’ve all played good teams this season, especially in pre district. I don’t think people are giving D9 proper credit. Going to be interesting to watch bi-district! 

    Wins for the 4 playoff teams in District 9 Non-District: Sabine, Mineola, Rains, Eustace, White Oak, Buffalo, Pewitt, Commerce, Scurry-Rosser, Elkhart

    Losses: Malakoff, Tatum, Cooper, Palmer, Carlisle

     

    District 10 Wins: Elysian Fields, Harmony, Tenaha, Hawkins, Queen City

    Losses: Jefferson, Cooper, Winnsboro, Mount Vernon, Troup, Atlanta 

     

    comparing those 2 I’d say district 9 should fare well in bi-district. 

  6. I’m going to say this is how the bracket looks Saturday morning:

    West Rusk vs Pewitt

    Hemphill vs Waskom

     

    Hooks vs Grand Saline

    Harmony vs New Waverly

     

    Daingerfield vs Anderson-Shiro

    De Kalb vs Troup

     

    Newton vs Hughes Springs

    Edgewood vs New Boston

     

    In the games that affect standings this week.

    West Rusk over Edgewood and Troup over Grand Saline to force a 3 way tie for 2nd. Points will turn it out as Edgewood, Troup, Grand Saline.

    Hooks over New Boston, De Kalb over Redwater and Pewitt over Chism. 
     

    Daingerfield over Harmony and Waskom over Hughes Springs.

     

    Newton over New Waverly and Anderson-Shiro over trinity.

    I don't have a problem with passing per se, but I didn't like how we felt the need to throw 15 yards downfield on 2nd and 8 when that wasn't working. Why not hit short 5 yard hitches that other teams seem to do and eat up our defense? Are we not capable of doing the same? And then you can let Bijan get you 2 yards on 3rd down. It also allows Ewers to make some easy throws and get in a groove.

    Against Iowa State we had a 4th and 2 and we tried to hit a 30 yard fade. Even Ewers was visibly confused on the call. Sometimes it's just head scratching decisions by Sark. Don't get me wrong, he dials up some brilliant plays, but it seems like he overthinks things.

    Your first paragraph is my biggest gripe. Texas has killed it with their quick screen game. Where was that in the 2nd half?

    I wonder how Hemphill and New Waverly match up with Waskom and Harmony? 

    Waskom will have the most athletes out of all involved. They aren’t the last few years Waskom but they are still there. Type of team who if they put it all together can really get after folks, but don’t think they’ve clicked all the way yet. 
     

    Harmony is very similar to New Waverly in how they play, but NW probably holds the athletic advantage. Harmony does have some big size, more so than Waskom for sure. 
     

    Any combination of these games would be good ones. Id think Waskom would be the “favorite” over either of the 2, but not by much and then Harmony would be the other dog to either of the 2. 

  9. West Rusk should be fine in this one. The things West Rusk excels at are probably what Grand Saline struggles the most with. Would be very surprised if Grand Saline fines a way to pull this one out and my goodness what a shockwave that would be in the region If they did (but they shouldn’t).

     

    And that’s not to knock grand saline. They are putting together a good year after missing the playoffs last year and control their destiny to the 2 seed which is a notable achievement!

    He is talking about the second round matchup. Playing Dekalb vs playing West Rusk.

    Correct. 2nd round game. I would guess 3rd is probably the best bet, but your first round game gets real interesting at that point. If I’m picking which team I have to play out of De Kalb or West Rusk I’d think De Kalb would be the common pick.
