I don't know why I didn't give SOC more credit... they were not playing as dominant late in the year as I expected I guess. Even though they are better than last years team by record and by the fact they lost closer in the games they lost early on.
They should repeat as state champs again. I hope it'll be a good game with PNG though.

Anyone making the trip this year? I will go support one of my local teams, either Gunter or Anna.

All the 5A and 6A have a definite Advantage. Plus Gunter over Tidehaven. The rest are fairly normal for most travel during a season. To have a 3-4 hour travel time vs less than an hour negates the Idea of a true neutral site for one of the participants.

Most if not all the teams with long drives go up a day early any way so it's really not that big a deal. Hasn't been for North Shore over the years.

Teams from reg 4 have anywhere from a 6 to 8 hr drive and school in reg 4 must spend more money to have rested players to Jerry World. Austin or Waco would be just as good of a venue.

Terry Bussey is ripping the Tolar defense to shreds. The Fat Lady is signing!

I wish they'd go back to letting coaches choose like the 80s and before.
Or don't give Jerry Jones more money. Switch to college stadiums and rotate yearly and let D1,D2(Not TAMUK), and nicer D3 stadiums host. That would allow these colleges to see these kids, that would allow colleges to make some extra money, and it would give each region a chance to host the title games. So now kids get to sleep in their own beds various years and eat good home cooked meals those years too...
