Work to commence very soon and it will be ready for this coming season in August .... it's the newer "twisted turf" variety .... ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Den Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) Bored, so here’s my predictions for the year. Timpson (hot take) Garrison Joaquin Shelbyville West Sabine San Augustine Grapeland Nothing really surprising or different from last year except my number 2 and 3 spots. They could flip depending on the day but I’ve got a feeling the Rams lost a bit too much. Also have no idea what Grapeland has coming up so SA gets the nod, though it’s probably only by a game or two.

GHS96Alum Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I'd say the battle for the fourth and final playoff spot is wide open. Really after Timpson the playoff seeding could be interesting to watch unfold. I would say Timpson, Joaquin, Garrison, Shelbyville, Grapeland, San Augustine, West Sabine in that order. It's going to be a fun year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue82 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Joaquin will be replacing 9 starters on offense, including the entire front 7. Also losing 7 defensive starters. We have some great looking kids coming up, but they will be baptized by fire in the early stages of the season. I expect everyone on our schedule to be better than they were in 22. I expect us to be good, but how good is kinda up in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a fun year! Timpson will get challenged by Garrison. After those two it is wide open. Expect SA to make a comeback this year and next year they will be the top in the district, and will be for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what the districts in East Texas will look like after the next realignment. We will probably have EF and a couple of others dropping down from 3A and some of the current D1 teams will drop to D2. But SA has been really young the last couple of years and should be primed for a comeback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Den Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 When I saw this I couldn’t help but get excited even after last years mess. But I’m pretty sure Joaquin will be a tough win for anyone just off the offense yall run so I don’t expect too crazy of a drop off. It’s definitely gonna be a interesting year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Sabine, West Hardin and Grapeland all always seem to be on the D1/ D2 bubble. Of course you could see schools like Alto, Cushing or Carlisle bump back up depending on the number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboys1970 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) I don't see the number dropping. Also last numbers I got I think Alto will be a Division 2 school. Only time will tell of course, but I do know their numbers have been under the 164.5 or so since February 2021. Last number I got was around 158.

They want to keep X number of teams in each division, and it starts at the top. So growth in places like Frisco and Katy has an impact on communities like Garrison and San Augustine.

These schools in the area were in the 250-275ish range last time. The cutoff was like 249.

I have heard that some people think the opposite and the cutoff will return to that pre-covid number of around 225. That would push some schools like Ore City and Harleton back up to 3AD2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington76 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) I heard there is a very real possibility Newton is dropping. Also, Grapeland numbers are in the mid to low 150s. Edited June 18, 2023 by Washington76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
