The band sat on the track which they do all the time now. It took about 15 minutes to get to the rest room on the home side because of 4 or 5 rows of people standing all along the fence in the front with no walk way.

CMat79 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I wonder who's going to come out the other side alive? This district is gonna be like the Ali / Frazier fight. It will be interesting to see who the favorite is prior to season vs prior to district. Yoemen better start tightening up them proverbial jock straps now.  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academy i believe is going to bring a good bit back. Yoe will have another year with rhoades. Rockdale was young.

Eagle8 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 If you look at the historical factor alone.....this district is frightening lol. Bunch of title winners and deep contenders on the regular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true, the Rhoades hype means nothing until his team proves it on the field. Yoe may need a transfer or two to make them a true contender. Staff changes may be coming. I pick Lorena until they are beaten. Also keep a eye on Rockdale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
player73 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Lorena and Franklin should be ranked 1-2 in the State  going into the season. Not sure who’s 1 or 2. LRA should be solid. Yoe, Rockdale and Troy are being mentioned on past success. Heck of a district. Definitely the Region 3 rep comes from this district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoe09 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 The district is brutal, no question about it. Lorena & Franklin could definitely be preseason number 1/2 in the state. I still need to get my hands on one all-district list to start compiling that. Academy had a historic season and returns enough pieces to be around that top 10 mix. Cameron was up by multiple scores on both Academy and Hallettsivlle last year, but could not close games. You can have the best coach in the state, but if there is not a collective effort to be a winner, you're not going to win. We saw an example of that from this year's senior class.  Rockdale was very young and has a talented sophomore class. There is not much talent around them. Rockdale has talent issues in general right now for all sports. It would be shocking to see Troy or McGregor finish any higher than the bottom 2 here.     Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make us the one? None of it matters next year but i believe they will have Lorena 1 and Franklin 2 in District Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoenation79 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Don’t under estimate a Rhoades coached team.  Last season (his first since coming back) he was working with the previous regime mentality of practicing and on the field toughness.  Last year the Yoemen battled thru one of the toughest seasons in years. Rhoades biggest assignment this season is finding the right QB to lead the Yoemen.  My sleeper for district 11 is Academy.  Academy may have one of the best HC in 3a.  They definitely have one of the best young QB’s in 3a.  Started as a sophomore last season.   Looking forward to seeing how this district unfolds. A good possibility there could be another state champion coming out of this district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
