squidward tortellini Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) Four of the preseason top ten teams and eight of the top twenty-five in 4A Division 1 came from these districts, according to Dave Campbell’s magazine. I imagine Paris and Sulphur Springs aren’t far outside the top twenty-five either, and most of the teams really showed up last night.

squidward tortellini Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 District 7 Celina: 49-30 over Bellville Panther Creek: 55-10 over Lake Worth Lake Dallas: 49-0 over Denton Aubrey: 33-31 over Sunnyvale Sulphur Springs: 68-17 over Poteet Paris: 31-7 over Sanger District 9 Chapel Hill: 56-20 over Jasper Kilgore: 20-15 over Carthage Lindale: 35-27 over Hallsville Pine Tree: 22-15 over Gilmer In most districts, four playoff spots can be a stretch, but in these two, four or more teams are truly deserving 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandelay Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Here are MaxPreps rankings for 7-4A: #2 Celina #6 Panther Creek #9 Sulphur Springs #12 Aubrey #21 Paris #22 Lake Dallas So yeah, district should be fun. Only four of those six will be in the playoffs. Lake Dallas should probably be ranked higher than what they have them. At Sulphur Springs, this is by far our best team since the state championship team of 08. We feel like we've got the talent to compete with anybody in the state in 4A.

LetsGoEagles Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I think this is pretty accurate. 7 & 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoEagles Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I'll take it a step further. Unless it's SVIlle, the state champion is coming out of the 1 of those 2 districts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you’re going out too far on a limb saying that. If you remove those two districts from the equation + Stephenville, I’m not sure who else is even in the conversation for a state championship. Maybe Davenport?? I can’t see Brownwood getting past Stephenville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see Brownwood getting past Stephenville. I agree, I would put Davenport, BC and LBJ in a tier below. Truth be told, BC has a slight chance to become a dark horse and move up into the elite group, and they'll be aided by a weak R4 that gives an easier path to state semis. 1 game, anything can happen. But they'd have to play the game of their life to make it to state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodOleBoy73 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 By far the best two districts and it's not close. In both districts...there will be a team that misses the playoffs that would compete for a district title in many other districts across the state. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0tc0m Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Yeah, I don't think a sensible argument could be made against these districts being far-and-away the best two districts. Apart from Stephenville, you could argue the rest of the top 10 should be pretty much the top four/five teams from these two districts (Stephenville, Kilgore, CH, Panther Creek, Celina, etc.). When it gets to the postseason, I'd be shocked if we don't see an All District 7 Region II final AND an All District 9 Region III final. Both those regions will be brutal, but lots of fun for fans. I think the state champion comes from one of these two districts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 You should probably say " talented". A bad district can be competitive if all the teams are equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0tc0m Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 6 minutes ago, HJR7 said: Could be wrong but I think they did and saw they're playing a 3A team this week? They did move up to 5A, and yes, they are playing Gunter (3A Div. II). Big gap there, obviously. Gunter is an elite 3A program. They’ll stay competitive come Friday. But I think the final score will show the chasm that exists between 3A Div. II and 5A Div. II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0tc0m Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Gunter will then turn right around and play Celina the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtVandelay Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) I would think Panther Creek and Davenport are both new suburban schools that are only temporarily in 4A. You look at the success of Panther Creek, Davenport, and Canyon West Plains and it's hard to believe how schools that didn't exist a couple of years ago can immediately become powerhouses in 4A.

Panther Creek and Davenport are in their second cycle in 4A-D1...but yes I think in two years they'll move on.... West Plains moved up from D2, I think they are down this year but they'll probably move to 5A in two year also...while Lubbock Liberty probably moves up to 4A D1....while in 2026 Wolfforth Memorial opens up likely as a 4A-D1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsGoEagles Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 4A seems to be becoming more of a landing spot for these schools that will quickly rise to 5AD1 or 6A, get a ring and move up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lake Dallas is getting overlooked too. Maybe the MaxPreps algorithm is unfavorable to them considering they have been playing larger schools in recent years and in non district this year. They have the best chance at upsetting Panther Creek or Celina in my opinion. Edited September 7 by squidward tortellini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
