I have a feeling in the first few rounds it will probably be a cakewalk but at the same time I’m just not sure there’s any team that can really beat them this year. I feel like they’re on a level above everybody else, but we will soon find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least give them an option for another home stadium if their venue wasn’t up to par! Ex: Carlisle playing in Henderson or at West Rusk for their home game! Most schools wouldn’t really have that problem and gives an incentive for top two! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they’re on a level above everybody else, but we will soon find out. I think Celina will play Wilmer Hutchins in the first round and probably Kennedale in the second round. Not sure either one of those teams could beat Community, so yeah they will be cakewalks. Neither of those teams could finish in the top 6 of district 7. Third round would be either Decatur or a rematch with Aubrey. Fourth round will probably be Alvarado, Sulphur Springs, or Panther Creek. Fifth round would be Stephenville. Then state championship you’re looking at Kilgore, LBJ, or maybe Bay City or Davenport. Not sure who else would be in the picture for regions 3 and 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top two should host or have an alternate host site ( if their stadium not updated ( they get the revenue) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoEagles Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 (edited) This seems hard to believe. Who in their right mind agrees to this other than the top 2 seeds. Edited November 7 by LetsGoEagles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be agreed upon before the season begins...lot of teams probably think this makes sense and think they have a legitimate shot of being one of those top two seeds.

I think its a great idea...the venues in R1 are limited because so many teams are in playoffs and I think it makes finishing 1 or 2 special. 5A and 6A have been doing it this way for years and I think eventually 4A will adopt this as a rule for everyone as well. A few years ago our Eagles benefitted from it when they played (and beat) Montgomery in a Bi-District game where Montgomery had to travel to Eagle Stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR88 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 44 minutes ago, LetsGoEagles said: What a stupid decision if it is true. …… SMH The only truly “neutral” site for these districts is Lufkin. And there was a good chance Lufkin would have a home playoff game on Friday (which turned out to be true). So that’s probably the reasoning. Would rather try to get a top seed and play at home, than play a playoff game in Jasper like we did a few years ago. No offense to Jasper, just saying.

LetsGoEagles Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 I totally understand both sides. Just feel like we give up a huge neutral site advantage as we travel so well. Neutral site is basically a home game for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
