Correct. I keep up with it as well because of these posts every year. Every division had at least one 4-seed win. (5A-2A). Here is a breakdown.
5A Div 1 - 2 - Magnolia West and Abilene5A Div 2 - 1 - Terrell
4A Div 1 - 2 - Big Spring and Brazosport
4A Div 2 - 1 - Jarrell
3A Div 1 - 3 - Dalhart, Mineola, and CC London
3A Div 2 - 2 - Spearman and Wallis Brazos
2A Div 1 - 3 - Hamilton, Riesel, and Ganado
2A Div 2 - 1 - D’Hannis
Honestly this seems like a down year for the 4-seed upsets. Usually it’s anywhere from 12-18% of the games go to the 4-seed. 16-1/4 seed games per division gets us 128-1/4 seed games. With 15 winning it ended up at 11.7% the 4 seed won or 1 out of every 8.5 games.
Take this as you will. Lol
Being from this side of the world, the one that surprised me the most was Terrell and Texas High ....

If I counted right, there were 13 4th seeds that won (5A-2A) ... have tracked it for years due to posts like these ... over the years, we usually average almost 18 a year ... given that statement, I should note that there were another 5 4th seeds who came with one score of winning ...

Great study of the offense. Will you be at the Vidor vs Lindale game?
Etheridge built a dynasty at PNG. Down here it was referred to the University of PNG. Even as one of the smaller 4A (top dog in those days as I remember) they were dominating. I know at one time, their game against Plano set the TX HS attendance record. May still be the record but I’m not sure.
Looked it up, it’s now #3, 49,953 in 1977.
I worked for a Slot-T guy (Bush) who was on the staff at PNG for several years before going to Dimmitt and then to Livingston ... I spent months looking at PNG film ... The thing that amazed me right away was that I think is '75 they had only one offensive procedure call in 14 games ... that's how disciplined they were ... and when we visited their Spring Training, I was amazed that their athletes were not much more raw talented than we were at Livingston ... but they DID believe that they could take on and match up anyone; and they did.

No, from Jacksonville ... and to boot, I have a OC son who is playing at Mesquite Hanby tonight ... will watch the stream ... I'm afraid I have gotten to the age where I can't climb stands anymore ... unfortunate, because I would have loved to talk with you.

If you don't like them, don't watch them .......the vast majority of us have no problem with MORE games to watch ........lol
Check on that ... any Friday with football is ten times better than a Friday without it.
it doesn't just happen in the first round ... I remember going to a Round Three game in 1989 - Cooper vs Groveton ... Groveton won 82-6 ... in this kind of situation, I think a lot of the score depends on who the winning coach is ... in several instances, I had talks with this one - his favorite saying was if you don't want the score run up, then teach your kids to play better.

Since Vidor has started it (about 14 years ago?), don’t remember us running into someone else who runs it very often. HHargrave’s old Coach knew how to stop it. Gave Vidor fits every year. New Coach - didn’t have a clue. You’d think he’d checked film from the last few years, but he either didn’t, or didn’t understand what he was watching.
I strongly believe that the Slot T in that area originated from PNG's Etheridge in the mid-to-late Seventies ... I have done a flow chart of its development back to Chesty Walker and the Power T in the Panhandle which was evolved into the Slot-T by his assistants at the time - Etheridge and Henderson ... each then developed their own version, taking it into New Mexico ... and then Texas ... on the flowchart, I have each coach/version listed with their career total wins and losses ... it is amazing how many games were won in the state of Texas using the Slot-T.
Ok, finally found the chart ...
I've visited with a good portion of these folks over the last 60 years ... the one I missed was Vance - the reason I think he is important is because he is the only one I can find who worked under both the Etheridge/Bush version and the L.G. Henderson version ...
On a side note, I don't see much of the "O" Set anymore ... especially since someone found a way to run "8-Hole Reverse" out of the "A" Set ... I don't remember seeing that in the earlier versions.

A little off topic, I know the DC’s figured out how to stop the Wishbone, but that was years ago. Surprised someone doesn’t run it now. All the folks who knew how to defend it have probably passed away, lol. That was an awesome offense for many years.
Not everybody, yet ... but I can say the same about current DC's who try to defend the Wing-T and Slot-T ... I have always maintained that if you are a DC who really wants to know how to defend it, find you a team/staff who run the Wing-T and watch how that staff deals with it when they play it when they face another team who also runs it ...

I once was a part of the Slot Mafia ... also ran the West Texas Wing-T ... what I see now is that there really aren't any true purist left ...

That would be their second forfeit in the last three weeks ... not much in the leadership name ...
Noticed there was a second forfeit - Wall vs Tornillo.
Tornillo finished 4th in a 4-team district with a 0-9 record.
Pretty sure I know what that was about.
Not to mention the 385 miles between the two towns.

Hmmmmm, I don't remember when that was . . . it wasn't 2009 because that was the 56-55 2OT thriller won by JAX at Henderson.
Like I said, "circa before 2009" ... I remember that OT game ... I think it was the last time Jax beat Hendo.

The Pride Game Finale
85th meeting
Jacksonville at Henderson
Thursday, November 3, 7pm kickoff
I don't remember the exact year (circa before 2009), but the last Hendo-Jax game (with neither having anything to play for except Pride) held in the last week there were fifteen unsportsmanlike or late hits out of bounds in the FIRST HALF ... I left at halftime and told the ticket booth if I had paid for this ticket I would demand my money back ... my kin, coaching at Hendo at the time, found out Iater that I had left said, "I wish I had known you were leaving, I might have gone with you. I've never been so embarrassed as a coach."

Good choice considering the offensive scheme of who ya'll are playing ...

I would guess since the Graham player threw the first punch when WF-Hirschi was winning, the win will go to Hirschi.
Could be ... but it was a body slam that started it ... but there are no excuses for what followed.

DEC will give the win to whoever was ahead.......
Probably ... most DECs in these cases bail out in a gutless manner ... we shall see ... but if they don't take a stand to truly punish both teams, then it's carte blanche for others from this point forward.

Really?

I've driven thru both towns ... theretofore, I'm going with Tatum ....
Well, let's see what the book says ... Lumberton is averaging 256 yds per game passing (14TDs) at 24 Att per game and 139 yards per game rushing (5 TDs) at 27 Att per game

The District of Doom starts district play with a 12-15 record ... however, 4 of those loses were to currently undefeated teams.
And who would have thought L-E would be undefeated at this point? .... maybe it's the fact that three of their wins were posted against opponents that are currently a combined 2-10 ... but a win is a win and two hundred years from now who'd notice.

Depends of whether Athens' QB is healthy and plays this week ... missed this week vs Kaufman.

Don't know, but I figure most everybody has a chapter in their book that they don't want read out loud ...
-
Just looking around on Thursday nights ... when you get to the point where 4A JV games are being worked by 3 and 4 man crews, you definitely have a shortage ...
-
The so-called District of Doom came pretty close to being Broomed ... maybe Week 2's schedule will be more inviting.
