Any predictions? It looks like a tight race. Athens is ranked 15th in the tgca poll, I'm not sure if they have beaten any quality teams, Van doesn't have a great record but has really played a tough pre-dist schedule and looks to have the best over all athletes, Bullard is 16-5 with only loses to Lee x 2, Carthage 1-1, Harmony in 5 and All Saints in 5. and has beaten several ranked teams.

 

my prediction:

 

1. Bullard

2. Van

3. Athens

4. Chapel Hill

5. Brownsboro

6. Canton

 

The top three should be very competitive

I agree, almost completely. However, this may be the year that Canton excapes the cellar. The TGCA poll is a joke. There are several teams that do not deserve to be ranked. Athens, at number 15 has played a very weak pre-district schedule and has not defeated anyone significant. They were defeated by Van in the Van tournament. Van and Bullard have played better opponents but do not have Athens' record. The district should be a three team dogfight between Athens, Bullard, and Van.

Wastn't Athens knocked off by Grand Saline? No offense to GS, but if Athens is deserving of the number 15 rank, then they shouldn't have lost to GS....

 

Also, Canton has gotten better from what I hear....not exceptional, but slowly getting better. Bboro is just very young, having graduated 5 or 6 seniors....Chapel Hill has 2 pretty good senior outside hitters, but everyone else is either young or inexperienced, not to mention a new coach.

 

My prediction: Bullard

Van

Athens

CHill

Canton

Bboro

This weeks TGCA poll east tx teams

 

2. Commerce

4. White Oak

10. Carthage

12. Gilmer

13. Athens

14. Crandal

16. Pleasant Grove

18. Liberty Eylau

19. Maybank

 

Bullard plays Athens there next Tuesday, has split with Carthage, beaten Liberty Eylau, finished ahead of commerce in the wills point tournament and gave Harmony a better game in the championship.

Watched White Oak at the Carthage tournament and they look really good.

I also suspect Maybank should be ranked higher.

Might want to change your predictions after tonight... Athens slammed Bullard in 3 straight games! 25-11, 25-22, & 25-15

Sr Athens players dominated - 2 incredible outside hitters, an agile setter & underclassmen that stepped up their game!

New coach has taken Athens' gifted athletes to their true potential... Their record is 21-4 Going to be an interesting season for 14-3A!

I agree there has been definite improvement in Canton - Van also obviously has a new coach which has made a difference for them. Athens beat Eustace several times this year & placed well in the Tyler tournament - The Van tournament was not a good showcase for any of the teams involved...& several teams are looking forward to rematches. Van does have some good players, but do believe Bullard & Athens will finish in top spots in their district. Gilmer, Whitehouse & Mabank are always have solid teams, with great coaching -

Athens played great last night. They have a complete team. Their setter and back row played awesome. Their coach really had them ready to play and they had three good hitters. I still believe it is a three team race. Bullard will fare better at home, that was their worst play this year by far. It was an impressive performance by Athens and over hearing comments from their fans, their best game of the season so far. Best of luck to them the rest of district.

Drove to Athens last night and saw them play Bullard. Athens kept Bullard on the defensive and did not let up. Going in I did expect Bullard to win. These are the same Athens players from last year, the difference is their coach - I met her - she must be 6'4" tall. After the game I visited with her - Athens stole her from Eustace - so we know who taught her to coach. Awesome move by Athens. Don't discount Athens because they have a "new" coach. Will definitely see the rematch in Bullard. 14AAA will be well represented in the playoffs.....no matter the final top three.
