[quote author=" wolvesfan " source="/post/376243/thread" timestamp="1718800383"]I came from 6a with the Weiss Wolves You and me both. New to the 6A realm. Weiss and New Braunfels has some great 6A battles. Well, Bandido will be familiar with SV and Wagner from past district affiliations. SV and Wagner played in Region 3 last year, Region 4 this year. In Region 3, looks like Weiss is in with College Station and A&M Consolidated in District 12, some of their previous district opponents (e.g. Georgetown, Leander schools, and Cedar Park) moved to District 8 within Region 2. There are some pretty good programs around Alvin ISD (e.g. Manvel) as well. I'm sure I'm leaving someone out! Region 4 will have San Antonio, Coastal Bend and RGV schools, so the favorites should come out of District 13 (SV, Wagner NB, Boerne Champion, Victoria East, Seguin). There are also some decent, competitive programs in the RGV, but at the top usually fall beneath the better San Antonio programs. It would be an interesting exercise to forecast the winners of Region 3 and Region 4 districts, maybe I (or someone else) will give that a shot in the run up to the season![/quote] I forgot to add District 15 - there are some good teams there as well, Flour Bluff, PSJA, etc.

It looks like Manvel is 6a now. I have a decent idea that the playoff teams in the district with SV are going to be formidable, probably CS and Consolidated in the Weiss district… literally no clue outside of that.

You’re right. SV and Wagner are familiar due to being in 6A for many years. And Seguin is NB’s historic rival. We play every year.
But outside of that it’s hard to say. If you were to ask me right now, NB is probably a 4th - 5th place finisher. NB might lose to SV and Pieper. Champion beat Canyon last year, so there is that. So Wagner and NB will be on the bubble here.

Unicorn Stadium is going to be hectic for the next year or so, with both high schools going in and out of the stadium with their fans and teams. I am not looking forward to it. Dragon Stadium would’ve been done this year had the 2021 bond passed. But it failed and NBISD had to rally its voters to try to get it passed again in May 2024. So the stadium will be a bit behind schedule now. But better late than never. I’m glad it got approved after all. The 2021 bond had allotted for $14 million for Dragon Stadium. The 2024 bond allotted $40 million instead. Just goes to show how much of a cost increase things have changed. Thank you for the link.

So Wagner and NB will be on the bubble here. Ahh, how could I have forgotten to mention Seguin! I took a quick look at what I thought to be returning starters from the D13 teams. SV returns 7 (2 O, 5 D), Boerne Champion 4 (2 O, 2 D), Pieper 12 (6 O, 6 D), Wagner 8 (3 O, 5 D), Seguin ? (didn't do my homework!), Victoria East 12 (6 O, 6 D), New Braunfels 7 (3O, 4 D) and MacArthur doesn't matter, they're finishing last anyway ![8D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/insane.png) . In addition, Seguin and Vic East return their starting QBs, all others appear to be breaking in new starters at the position. Pieper moves up to 5A-1, NB moves down from 6A. New Coaches at NB, Vic East (Last year's OC). Playoff teams last year: SV, Wagner, Boerne Champion, NB (6A), Vic East (5A-1), Pieper (5A-2).

They may be the bigger threat to win district. I’m not sure what happens to MacArthur. That used to be such a solid program.

I really like what their coaching staff does, they seem very innovative on both sides of the ball. Don't sleep on SV, they seem to reload every year and produce a quality team. They had some freshmen last year that played a bunch in a couple of the later playoff rounds and generally acquitted themselves well. The worry for SV is that they graduated almost every member of the 2 deep offensive linemen. SV Defense should be very salty once again...NB should be fine, Mangold had established a pretty good pipeline, and the new coach seems to have pretty good cred - I am assuming that he will be keeping much of the existing staff, which should indicate they will compete well.

Just saw that SV rising Sophomore QB Ty Knutson received his first D1 offer from UTSA. Interesting...

Dave Campbell's has Pieper second behind SV. Will be interesting.

This district is so tough. You could put almost all of them in any of the region 4 districts and they'd finish 1st-4th. Only the cellar dweller that would be the exception because of how far they have fallen since their glory days.

Only the cellar dweller that would be the exception because of how far they have fallen since their glory days. I think this really matters - last 2 years the CSS, A&M Consol, Georgetown, Cedar Park district and our district were both battle tested going into the playoffs. Their District did better than ours overall, but SV broke through last year for the Region championship. I will add, for my money the SV team in 2022 was better than last years squad, but losing your starting QB before the Region final is tough to overcome. SV still almost won that game...

Pieper’s HC was Cedar Park’s OC in 2020 when they went to State! Several Coaches on both sides of the ball went with him! I knew that Pieper was going to be a plug and play team pretty quickly!!
