Right, but there is a clear advantage. It’s not a perfect correlation. But it’s kind of odd that a 4a school with 1000 kids can’t play a 6a school with a 1200 kids more, but a 6a school with 2300 CAN play a school with 4000 more. And while the starting 22 is all that matters, the odds of having a good player goes up with the number of kids. So even if the smaller school might be better than a big school in certain isolated cases, the big school still starts out with an immediate and obvious advantage. But you’re right that there are exceptions. 

Going with the Bulldogs.  They’re like a shark that smells blood in the water.  They on the hunt.

This is basically a playoff play-in game for the cougars. 
 
they lose this one and they don’t control their own destiny. 

Even great coaches need good players.  I'm not saying whatever school you're talking about couldn't have been improved in some areas but you wouldn't be able to put the best coaches in the state at several schools and expect them to come out of there with a state title.  It's proven every single year.  And if it was strictly based on coaching then the same coaches would have the same results every year.  

I give it 2 more realignments max we'll be 5A D2, that's if another flood doesn't happen, if that occurs again then hello 5A D2 next realignment. 

But on the flipside, the Plano schools, Alief schools, Some San Antonio/Northside schools are sorry.  Remember, half of those numbers are girls.  Most are at a demographic disadvantage as far as interest and participation.  It's the starting 22 and Subs, not the entire student body.....

The worst manifestation of this problem is in 6a. You have schools with just over 2300 playing schools like Allen with over 6000. What a joke. I’m hardly going to slap anyone from Allen on the back for winning district with that advantage. You could make two 5a schools out of just the size difference between some of these schools and we’re supposed to get excited for that matchup? 6a needs divisions.

Proves my point about 5AD2.  Lee. & BH have a whole 4AD2 student advantage over Vidor, and next year Lumberton.  It’s not everything, but it sure helps if you’re bigger, or hurts if you’re the smaller school.  6A, even worse. 
So perhaps we need a 7A.  You could almost make a 5AD1&2 out of 5AD2, then split 6, and maybe leave 7A without D1&2?  Just thinking outside the box.  And the durn UIL won’t listen to a thing I said (unless it helps HP.  😢)

I don’t think BH will throw much. I’d like to see a statistical breakdown of their completion percentage over ten yards. And they have a huge runningback. Not super fast, but he’ll get his yards. Png can contain a running game. We’ve done it all season. It’s going to be a matter of scoring for PNG and it’s simply not a guarantee like it has been for the last decade or so. So Bh certainly looks like the favorite, and it would be irresponsible to not say so. Png has home field, a good defense, but an offense that sputters. Bh has a complete team, and that can make all the difference. 

Whoever Scores wins. 
 
Not scores first... scores. 
 
7-0 Cougars. 

Exactly. Having an O-line with 3 major losses has derailed the offense.

I don’t want to lose Vidor for Lumberton in 12-5a. Vidor, if you stay, I promise I will call Nederland your rival, and won’t even make fun of you that much for it. [insert sappy 80s break-up song]. 

Let’s get this started Indians! BH has an opportunity to win its first outright 5A DC! Last time they won a DC was their 1st year in 4A before 6A was even a classification. BH has never beat PNG, but has had very close games with the Indians. Last year the Indians came to BH to face a beat up Eagles team, but this year I think the roles are reversed. BH comes in healthy with a well balanced team including a pretty salty Defense.  Picking my Eagles to seal the DC this week in PNG. I think Eagles win this one 28-14.

Yall should opt-up to 5A D1 to get better acclimated to your future. 😁

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Freakin funny...

20-7 now. 
 
 
SF is horrible. Something is off with png regardless of injuries. 

PNG is a very injured team we have 10 juniors 6 sophomores and a freshman playing tonight over half our lines in both sides are out. 

I’ll take my crow extra crispy 

R for 3. 2-7
R for 1. 3-6
end of 1, 0-0

I’m with you.  Why change up what’s working for some obscure game plan like this?  On the other hand, might catch Ned off guard.  😂😂😂
Btw, glad Ned has a tarp over the field..

You sure? I thought they were going 5 wide and jet sweep Ned to death in the mud.
