Melissa started out at 25 at the start of the year then got beat the first game and dropped out. When Melissa beat Celina then Aubrey they jumped to 10 in Dave Campbell's. I suspect that Melissa jumped so much because they beat Celina by 21 which should have been 28 and Argyle beat Celina by 15. Melissa also gave up 0 passing yards to Celina and was able to stop Celinas best runner the qb who ran all over Argyle. Melissa gave up less than 150 yards of offense to Celina. None of that is a knock on Argyle either. I just think that gasme opened peoples eyes and saw Melissa is pretty good.

DC has Melissa at 10, PG at 3 and Gilmer at 5
Those two teams started out ranked higher than Melissa at the beginning of the year.

I've witnessed some of the Gilmer folks doing the same thing. I read where they were wanting the DC fired and talking smack about how bad the defense was. Now they are good again and playing better.
Of course when I say Melissa is better and improved especially since Liberty Christian it's just not possible.

Not one to compare scores but......
Melissa lost to LC by 7.
Gilmer beat LC by 53.
First off that was the 1st game of the year. Second Melissa is really young relying on a lot of kids with no varsity experience and starting numerous sophmores at skilled positions including the most important position qb. Lastly when Gilmer played Liberty Christian they had 7 starters out hurt. You take 7 starters from any team and they are probably not gonna do very good. I will be the first to admit after playing Liberty Christian I was worried, but this team has grown so much and are playing really good.
By all means though please take Melissa lightly.

What has Melissa done this year to consider them a threat?
I really don't know.

Besides who cares bottom line is Melissa isn't worried or intimidated by east texas teams. Let's just have fun and enjoy the ride.

Not necessarily, but don't act like they don't have a proven track record. East Texas is already known for their success in 4A football, and few districts have as many playoff wins in the last 3 years as the teams in this district.
I mean, I'm not the one saying that players on the team don't even know who a Texas high school football powerhouse is. We're talking one extreme to the other here lol.
I never said all the players, but the young guys and new guys don't. Again these kids come from way bigger schools that arnt interested in Gilmer.

I don't see what's wrong about pulling for teams from your district. We take pride in being one of, if not the most powerful district in 4AD2. It is what it is. We hate each other for 5 games, but pull for one another after that.
Nothing wrong with it at all. Y'all are just so dogmatic about it. I mean y'all probably think every team in your district can beat all 32 NFL teams in the same night.

Blasphemy, thou salt not speak of such apocalyptic things on this East Texas message board. For thy man that speaketh and wrought such grotesk things shall be stoned to death for thy sin.

Oh my, y'all are growing. At that rate you won't stay in 4A long. Goodness, I knew that area was growing, but I had no clue it would be that fast.
They throwing up rooftops fast here.

That's makes sense. I have a couple of nephews raising families in the area. One in McKinney, the other in Prosper. It's a growing area for families.
School districts are crazy. We have homes that are within 2 miles of Gladewater High School, but yet in the Gilmer School District, which is 15 miles away. Never know how they figure it out.
School districts are crazy here. This entire area is booming. Melissa is building a 4 story high school as we speak that will hold 3500 kids.

It's funny people are so defensive towards their district.
It's pretty crazy for sure. You go on other sports forums across the state and they don't act like these folks. Some of these people are like zombies that just attack in droves. I think they are all related lol. 😉

Yes McKinney, both towns and school districts are lined with each other. There are new subdivisions that are in McKinney city limits but Melissa Isd. Also McKinney North Bulldogs school is 5 minutes from Melissa High School.

Gilmer isnt the only good football program in Texas lol. A lot of the young guys on Melissa's team are move ins from bigger schools like the McKinney schools who have never played Gilmer nor would need to know about them. It was amazing seeing the kids attitude this year about Celina a team that has beat up on Melissa the last few years. They went into the game focused and intense believing they would win. Gilmer will be no different. I've noticed that when you get kids that move in from bigger schools 5a and 6a they arnt intimidated by teams like Gilmer and Celina.
-
I assure you Melissa could careless about Gilmers past achievements trust me and to be completely honest a lot of these kids don't even know who Gilmer is especially the new kids. The players that did play against Gilmer last year are not worried at all about Gilmer. That's not being cocky they are just not worried about any team.

Didn't Melissa have a good team last year? I'm just saying, I attribute their success based highly on who they play. They were good last year, but if they meet Gilmer, I don't see them getting past it. Gilmer has a huge mental edge on Melissa. I mean who wouldn't, when you have played a team 3 years in a row, and lost by an auccumulated score of 178-6. Gilmer just knows how to beat Melissa, despite match-ups. This isn't the first good team Melissa has had recently either.

Melissa is really good with speed everywhere and some really good athletes. Most people in east texas discount them because Gilmer has throttled them the past few years, but this Melissa team is so much better then those and people will notice after next week. They are very young, but loaded on both sides of the ball. The starters haven't played a full game since Princeton back in week 4. They are gonna sneak up on teams.

Oh I understand I just think this is a bad matchup for us what scare me is that we haven’t really faced a QB that can scrabble and throw and with our defense that will be an issue because we haven’t gotten a lot of pressure on the QB this yr and how we got carved up by y’all and gladewater I think Pitt has more playmakers than both no offense
wait until you see Melissa's qb then...

Melissa Cardinals breaking into the top 10. Max preps has them at #6.
