Gunter 15 Pottsboro 1 game 1
After a 12-run first inning Potts smartly sacrificed several pitchers and their ace will likely be available. Not sure about Gunter.
With the score 14-1 there was about a 3 hour rain delay in the top of the 3rd. Game ended in 5 innings.
Game 2 will be in Prosper tomorrow and game 3 Friday if needed.
As bad as the score it is still just one game. Gunter needs to finish this off tomorrow.
Both starters today will be available going forward -- Kent threw 31 pitches, Villanueva 27. I think they both can factor in Game 2 and if there is a Game 3, I expect both will start

The 3A state semi games next week in Round Rock are at 9am and 12 noon respectively. That could have played a factor in the decision to play at 1pm.
The time isn't the issue -- and I'm sure that is the reason. It's the distance combined with the time

Shocked that Prosper was the option.
Much like Gunter and Pottsboro going to Coppell......and playing all the games in the middle of the week at 1 p.m.

Also factor in they will almost certainly be 5A next time around

Sherman did get the big DL from Denison, Sims I think that is a D-1 recruit that moved there sometime back. There is talent in Sherman, they just spun their wheels with the previous coach for too long.
He was ruled to have moved for athletic purposed last month

Dickies Arena would be a good choice too...
the problem with that is they host the AAC tournament for both the men's and womens tourneys so as long as that's the case it won't happen there.

It is. I wish they'd go college Station or Waco.
Erwin center was great, but SXSW ruined it.
I bet when the new Baylor facility gets built, they put in a bid to host.

Inside baseball is a phrase; it has nothing to do with baseball but means dealing with a lot of tiny details. maybe a better use would have been how the sausage gets made.

Ok Jason, lets here it.
Stepp posted the nitty-gritty of adding Bishop. I'll add that second team Gunter had for Week 1 decided the week of realignment to back out, so there was next-to-no-time to ask around for essentially the one week everyone has set because it's the opener and is literally the one you know won't change based on districts.
Compounding that problem was one district game got taken away with S&S moving west, so there was a second game they were going to have to find because they had scheduled four non-district games to go with six district ones, so on realignment day they were trying to get two holes plugged instead of one.

Good Lord. I won't complain anymore!
Thats a lie, I'll still complain. We are playing Bishop from far south Texas week 1 this year. Not sure how/why we got the game. We are playing at a neutral location near Austin. That's like an average drive for you guys.
You know exactly how/why that game was gotten. And I will give a little inside baseball, for that opening game specifically, Gunter had two teams agree to play, then back out before it ended up having to hook up with Bishop.

How the heck Sherman get put in still
If you go by those projections, a lot of it is going to be balance -- they aren't going to have three districts in the region be eight-plus teams and the other one have just six if you take Sherman out. It's an unfair advantage in making the playoffs they will try to avoid if possible.
And of course you are looking at it from an East Texas perspective -- some would say Forney, McKinney North, North Mesquite, Sherman, and West Mesquite are the basis of a district, so why are Longview and Tyler in there

They finally got out of executive session.
As above it is Steve Fex, recently DC at McKinney Boyd, at Colleyville Heritage, Southlake Carroll, Coppell and Dripping Springs before that among others.
His college stints include as a student assistant at Western Oregon, a GA at Washington and an assistant at Southern Utah.
This is his first time as a head coach in Texas, was a head coach in Oregon in the late 80s.

I guess that is true. An exception is probably the 2019 game against Canadian. They got up on us 17-3 in the first half I think. Ultimately we outscored them 24-3 to end the game and win 27-20.
Gunter coaches are good with adjustments however. The 2019 season began with us down 21-0 to Daingerfield and we won this game and the state championship.
That was one of the two. It was 17-3 but it got to 17-10 at half and was 17-13 after the opening drive of the second half.
The other was 2018 vs Canadian, only because it was such a low-scoring game between two great defenses that it was close enough that one drive here or there made the difference.

I will say this about Gunter at this deep point in the playoffs -- you can almost always tell before the end of the first quarter how the game is going to go. They have played nine semifinal or title games and in seven of them it was pretty obvious what the outcome would be -- win or lose.
If you have a question of how their defense or offense will do against a certain opponent, it doesn't take more than three or four drives to see how things play out.
History doesn't mean anything of course -- but it is an interesting trend -- and I do think these are the two best teams left standing.

Is like 95 percent certain to be 5A
Only reason there is a slight chance that they might stay 4A is the number went up from 1150 to 1230 last time -- if it jumps the same number this time Melissa misses by seven kids and goes five but if it goes up by 90 kids, 10 more than last time, Melissa stays down 4A by three.
-
Only question is how limited Kutter Wilson is -- he didn't look to be hurt that bad after the tackle but didn't play the final three quarters. At a certain point it could have been precaution to keep him out because of the score but that could lead to depth issues / guys having to do more than they normally do going forward

I thought the score would be 46-13. Ended up 35-14. Gunter had a nice TD called back which is part of the game. Holliday was more impressive than I expected. They would beat the Poth team Franklin beat by 30 points. Holliday had a salty run defense. We did seem a little flat at times. I guess due to the fact we beat Holliday often Now on to Roosevelt. They look like waskom with their colors and offensive scheme. They run the triple option. The qb is fast. He runs between the tackles after faking the give to the fullback ( midline option). I’m going with Gunter by 17. Wish it didn’t have to be played in Abifrickinlene though. T P W.
I mean, where did you think a game would be against a Lubbock opponent? There were literally three options, maybe five if you were generous, and they had a flip between the two of three.

If they would do away with taking 4 teams, it would shorten the weeks, which would not put state games the weekend of release. Personally I prefer the old school - Win your district advance to playoffs, everyone else sits and watches. And I know that will be unpopular.
It's unpopular because it's antiquated.
A third of the teams in the state quarterfinals (27 of the 80 remaining) did not win district

Dublin way better than I expected! GT had a harder time defending the pass than usual. And Dublin ate up a lot of clock- didn’t realize until after someone told me that they ran 18 plays in one drive eating up something like 4 minutes. That drive got them 0 points, but it kept GT from scoring at least once. I don’t know how they lost to Millsap though.
They had two drives in the first half that took more than 13 minutes with both getting inside the Gunter 10-yard line and came away with no points. Gunter had four possessions in the first half because of the kickoff return TD and one of them was right before the half when they forced the turnover on downs inside their 10.
So they only had three real drives and scored on two.

The Sherman ISD confirmed that number of 2,185, so they stay in 5A Division I for at least another cycle. They added 233 kids from last time and continued growth is expected, so 2024 should see them in 6A.

Gunter turned in 354, so as long as the 3A divisional cutoff goes up by five or more, they stay down for two more years

The difference is that football essentially has a shot clock.
The team that wins the coin toss and receives the kickoff can't run in to the line for three yards and then not take another snap for the rest of the quarter.
