My top 10 games for this coming season!
10. #16 Brenham vs Georgetown Eastview: This series has been close the last two seasons with Brenham winning by a combined 6 points. Brenham is the higher ranked team but it would not shock me if its another close game. Lets see how Brenham bounces back after a really good playoff run last season.
9. #10 Crosby vs #22 Port Neches-Groves: Crosby returns 7 on both sides of the ball and will look to have another win against a good PNG program. This is Crosby's homecoming game and I like the fact they are playing a quality team. These two teams have had an entertaining series these past couple of years most notability a 72-69 playoff game in 2017.
8. #15 South Oak Cliff vs #19 Mesquite Poteet: There is no doubt in my mind that this game is for the district 6 championship. Poteet is a 5AD1 drop down and will try to knock off SOC as the top 5AD2 team in the Dallas area. This is a playoff caliber game and should prepare both for the tournament.
7. #13 Marshall vs #20 Texarkana: Texarkana is a 5AD1 drop down and should be pretty good. They upset Lufkin last season in round 1 and they return a solid team. They could be a region 3 darkhorse this time around. If Marshall wins this game convincingly then their playoff expectations should rise. I think this will be a really good test for both teams and people around the state should keep an eye out for this game.
6. #8 Frisco at #24 Denison: Both these teams return a lot of experience. Frisco returns 9 on offense and 7 on defense while Denison returns 7 on offense and 9 on defense. Frisco is the favorite and should win this game but Denison could upset Frisco at home. This would be a fun game to watch online.
5. #11 Boerne Champion at #17 Tivy: Champion had a great season last year winning region 4 and now its time to see if they can follow that up and overtake Tivy as the district champion. Sharyland Pioneer will be in the mix but the winner of this game should feel pretty good about things moving forward in region 4.
4. #2 Aledo at #7 Mansfield Timberview: Last season Aledo went to OT against Midlothian at home and the district winning streak was in jeopardy. This season Aledo will face another tough task but this time it will be on the road. #7 Mansfield Timberview has an experience team returning with 9 on offense and 8 on defense. Time will tell if Aledo's district win streak will come to an end in Mansfield.
3. #1 Ennis at Corsicana: I think this game has upset potential written all over it. Ennis is the top ranked team but this game is on the road. Corsicana played 16 sophomores last season and still finished 7-4. They return 5 on offense and 4 on defense and this will be the 2nd season under Coach Hal Wasson. It would not surprise me to see Corsicana ranked top 10 by the end of the season.
2. #5 A&M Consolidated at #12 Huntsville: This game ranks #2 for me because I think the winner of this game is the favorite in region 3. There are several other teams that will contend for the region title but I am not sure any will have a better win than whichever teams ends up winning this game. Both teams do lose experience but both programs have been trending upward these past few seasons.
1. #3 Lubbock Cooper vs #6 WF Rider: Really excited to see the next chapter in this rivalry. Both of these teams will have a lot of experience coming back. Lubbock Cooper returns 7 on each side while WF Rider returns 9 on each side of the ball. Cooper has won the last two district games but the teams are 1-1 in the region finals these last two years! This is likely an early preview of the region 1 finals again! Get your popcorn ready!
