DCTF Picks : Temple Harker Heights Weiss Hutto Bryan Midway Copperas Cove
No argument from me that Temple will pace this district. With 5/5 returning they should have enough to run it back for a District Title in a brand new district.
Harker Heights 8/7 lost little to none when the new Killeen school opened and are the sole KISD Team in this district. Should be a strong contender.
Hutto 8/5. Coach LaPlante took the AD only role and a new HC is coming in. We shall wait and see what if any changes come into play with the Hippos.
Midway 6/7. I know almost nothing about this team.
Weiss 7/8. Alot of returning starters for the wolves. and VanMeter is a very good coach that has led teams into the playoffs everywhere he has been. He will do the same here.
Bryan 7/4. New Coach Tullos comes over from Pearland. Has 7 starters returning on offense. One being incoming SR QB Malcolm Gooden. Gooden was injured for the season early last year and was a exceptional talent. He will be the Catalyst for the Viking Offense as Bryan eyes a return to the playoffs. Things will be different with the retirement of HC Ross Rodgers.

I would be pretty surprised if Temple doesn't win this district.

I would be pretty surprised if Temple doesn't win this district. I know this was not much in the way of information. I know very little of any of these teams Other than Bryan, Temple and Harker Heights. I'm learning all three new districts as I go along. I'll try to get better. But I've got a lot to learn. Just trying to get FOOTBALL conversations going.

Should be Temple's district, but Midway is always one that Temple seems to struggle with. Can't imagine the Panthers will be down much longer.
Harker might challenge the Cats, but still, this should be Temple's running away with things this season.

Harker might challenge the Cats, but still, this should be Temple's running away with things this season. We’ll see. Heights has given Temple maybe their best shot 2 years in a row..& with 15 starters back from a 9-2 squad they could possibly have their best team ever.

Temple and Midway have become bitter rivals. Midway is like kryptonite to them for some reason in recent history. That will be an interesting match-up. Harker Heights will be fired up for sure. They did have some changes over the summer that I know about with personnel and with kids so that will be worth watching. Hutto is a great addition to the district as the remaining Killeen schools and Belton were weak compared to what they get from Hutto and the others that were added. Cove is a mess, and they need that coach to be like Davis at GP and get 100% buy in to his way immediately. They have been a dumpster fire for several years now, and so until proven otherwise they are my cellar dweller team in this district. Weiss is going to be fun to watch. They will be tough for all the teams, and they'll be in the playoffs.
Playoffs should be
1. Temple/Midway 2. Midway/Temple 3. Weiss 4. Hutto/Heights

Hutto/Heights Do you have Bryan last or did you forget about them. I'm not saying they are a playoff contender. But they could pose a problem for whoever is trying to grab the 3rd and 4th spots. Honestly don't know what to expect from them with the new coach coming in from Pearland. He won a State Championship with a loaded roster at George Ranch. The 6A size helped get that 5A 2 ring though. He's a really good coach. Let's see what he can get out of the Vikings. Haven't heard much about them around here yet.

That will go to Cove and that dumpster fire of a program they have. Bryan is a very interesting team in my opinion. They have the pieces to be really good, but for whatever reason they have under performed in recent years. I know they consider Temple a huge rival, and those games are typically well played on both sides. I could see them competing with Heights and Hutto for that last spot. I just think Temple and Midway are on a different level and Weiss is on a slightly lower level than Temple and Midway but still well above everyone else. So those three teams I feel are locks and that leaves 4th for 3 teams to battle for. Sadly 2 pretty solid teams will be out of the playoffs in that district. That 3rd and 4th spot I feel like people will see their record and think, "2-4 losses oh they must be terrible", but in reality they're going to be pretty dang salty and better than their record shows.

I've been here 3 years now. From what I've personally seen of Bryan High they always seem to have a good amount of Talent. But as I have sat in the stands and listened to fans around me, they have been wanting a Coaching change to happen. Not necessarily Rodgers but Most of his assistants. They have been pretty good the last two years making the playoffs. But that first year that team was horrible. They were in the second game of the season and had to call time out because they couldn't get lined up properly on the first play of the game. Rogers may have set a record for the farthest a HC has thrown a headset on to the field. Now that they have a new coaching staff. I'll just take the wait and see approach.

Coached against a team once that was terrible, and this was week 6 or 7, they were 2 short on kickoff, called 2 time outs on their 1st play, and called their 3rd time out on the 1st defensive series, which happened after they fumbled their 1st snap... it was a great night for us, but a great night for our back ups cause they got to play a lot!!!

Look even when the team I'm there to watch is terrible I don't leave games before they are over. I might walk down by the gate to watch the last few minutes but I don't leave. That Bryan gae I was talking about was so bad I left at HALFTIME. It was literally unwatchable. I told A buddy I left at Half and he accused me of getting kicked out. Said that was the only way to get me out before the final Whistle

I have left 1 game maybe 2 early though for the same reason you mentioned. I just couldn't watch the train wreck anymore....
