Alpha Wolf

For United, they have a pretty good shot. Region III-6A is kinda wide open but Cy Creek will be the big team to take down along with Katy, Summer Creek and Atascocita.
BH isn't really the same team with entering post-Charli Collier era but need things to go their way to go deep.
H-J are probably one of the regional favorites with Midlothian Heritage in the region. Houston ISD could see a regional tournament team in North Forest or Yates. Wheatley lost to Yates on Tuesday pretty handily and are not the same team from last year. Silsbee could be in the mix also. 
Woodville are probably in the same boat at H-J but they are in a deeper region with Keene, Blooming Grove, who are experienced and have all 5 starters back from last year. Franklin is in the top 5 and playing good ball. Buffalo are strong with a new coach leading the way. OF, IMO, are the sleeper in the region. 
I would keep an eye on Hull-Daisetta in 2A, lots of experience back from last year and in the preseason, there were whispers of them going to be good and having a deep run but will have to run against a team in 22-2A in the area round, most likely. 

Wow - I can't believe Jasper is even in this topic...   It's a compliment for sure! We are young (no Seniors on this team) and going through a process for the first time - we did not show well against Woodville in the first half - then settled down and played good in second half - we can't make that mistake again -  We are just focused on the next game right now and that is Huntington tonight... I expect a tough contest. 
I think HJ will represent Region III this year.  They could get tested in a potential match up with Midlothian Heritage and then they have to beat Yates or Wheatly too but I think their guard play sets them apart. -  
I like United a lot - but don't know enough about other 6A teams to weigh in on them.
I think either Orangefield or Woodville will be there from region III 3A - that game is a toss up and could go either way.  I don't really see anyone else in region III 3A playing on their level.  

I think Orangefield will make it to regionals, not sure about after that.  Woodville on paper should make it to state, but I remember one year they were ranked very high and lost to Hardin in an early round. 
BH is very young, I don't see them making it as far as they did the last few years. 
United is undefeated, but what 6A teams other than district play have they beat? 
I have a good feeling HJ goes to state. 

It happens.  Just adjust for the next go around...

HJ by a bunch, won't even be close...

You and I can both agree that Joubert was the best person for football.  However, if you try and tell me that he or anyone else can successfully devote the time/energy required to do Head Football AND Head Basketball in the same season then we will have to agree to disagree.  Just like I don't think it's possible to do Head Basketball and Head Baseball in the same season.  It is very possible and even likely to stretch yourself too thin.  Eventually, a choice has to be made which one to give max effort to or a choice has to be made to split your effort between the two.
Just one small example.. when he was doing Head Basketball only do you really think he cared if his kids decided not to play football and to go in the gym every day after school?  So what do you do when you take over football?  Convince them they need to play football and help the football team even though it may hurt the basketball team?.. See what I mean?

If Herman plays his cards right he could have a string of Big 12 titles for the next few years, Just have to figure out how to keep all of these talented QBs around

Good week for the State of Texas to put the college football world on notice 

Crosby losing a lot of coaches with all the layoffs? Will Coach Riordan stay? Couldn't blame him for wanting to leave if you can't keep a staff in place.

The high school zoning lines are pretty cut and dry.  Its the middle school and elementary lines that has to be drawn that I'm aware of. 
Everyone should know what high school they're going to...

I remember seeing 3 for the championship game between United and GC-M.

United making their debut only undefeated team in 6A 

Many of our teams just finished their last tournaments of the year this week.  They should see better officiating the remainder of their seasons.  It all boils down to trying to keep the tournaments on schedule.  The more whistles they blow, the longer the game.  Last night in our championship game, there were a lot of calls that were not made for the sake of time.  Our girls can be physical with anybody but we are also good at knocking down free throws as well as we have some depth on our bench if someone does get into foul trouble. 
As me and my freshman daughter sat last night and watched the game, I told her that tournament basketball is more physical and that she has to play through contact that would normally be called a foul in a district game.  She normally plays PG/SG for her team.  Should it be this way that I have to educate my daughter about this when it comes to basketball?  No it shouldn't but it is...
