4A D2 Region 3 predictions

[aTmfan06]

If everyone stays healthy (which I hope happens) we should be in for some great football come playoffs. With that said, what are everyone’s predictions as far as favorites to win the region and sleeper picks ! My favorites are Silsbee, WOS, and Jasper in no particular order. My sleepers are Giddings, Bellville, and Sweeny. Am I missing anyone?

It’s awful quiet out in HJ... this will be Dubois 2nd season and I wonder if they’ll get things moving in a positive direction this fall.

It’s possible. Idk anything about them so hopefully someone knows something. I know Bellville returns a 1st team all state DE and 2nd team all state DT. Along with their best RB who will be a Jr. and missed all last season to a injury. That’s all I have for now on them. Dave Campbell may have more when it comes out.

Disrespectful!

Hardin Jefferson has had a few teams who were solid. I remember I made the comment around 2012 that they should cancel their program. Although  they never beat Silsbee and I never see thos happening, they have had some good playoff runs. Good luck to them this year. 5-5 at best!

[L-Train11]

Preseason favorite has to be Jasper. But it will all depend on what Silsbee does on defense. If they get that going again this year then watch out. A little more of a passing game would be nice too

WOS is the top dog in this region and y'all know that

After following that 4a district closely for the last 4 years, I see that Jasper and Silsbee has progressively gotten better to where they can, like WO-S compete on a state level.  Evidentally, that Jasper coach gets the best out if his players, but not enough props are given to coach Smith in Silsbee.  This is year 3 for him and he haven't  even had kids for 4 years in his program and has already pushed them to where they've  never been.  I say that to this.  I dont think Silsbee  or Jasper are going anywhere  anytime soon.  It looks like WO-S is the ones that need to catch up.  We'll see how this works out this fall.  

[BMTSoulja1]

And BTW, for the ones saying WO-S was young.  I've seen young teams like the 2018 version and they were still on a state level.  So I'm not buying that young thing.

True...  

Now I was VERY impressed with the WO-S freshman, Gales.  Hes gonna do big damage next year.

[aTmfan06]

No doubt in my mind WOS will be one of the favorites for the region. But it’s not like years past where ppl just pencil them in for state. This region hasn’t been this competitive in a long time

True.  Hopefully, the big 3 can continue  to be the dominant force in the region..

3-4 years ago I’d agree with that last statement. But now living in Bellville I’m looking for a upset or two lol

True, but the end of all dynasties gotta start somewhere. Not that I’m saying the wos run is over, but it’s possible that it could happen and may have started last year

We have had bad years before. Sometimes not making the playoffs. This dynasty has been going since the mid 80s. And yes all good things must come to an end. But don't underestimate the Mustangs. Last year in every post game interview, coach t has not happy with his team. Looking for leadership and younger players to step up. I believe they thought that wos on the helmet meant a trip to Dallas. They will be much more improved this fall. We will see...

I hope they do well, I’ve enjoyed watching wos three years in a row in Dallas/Houston

This isnt a sprint, its a marathon - & WOS has been to atleast the 4th round of the playoffs for like 8 straight yrs right? So, catch up to whom? Comical

Whose trying to make someone laugh?  I said nothing funny.  Seems many others agree with me.

Most WO-S fans have always considered Jasper our top rival (since the 80's) and the team we look forward to playing more than any other. It did not change even when Jasper had a few less than stellar teams in the following decades. Splitting the two games last year has increased the glitter on that match up. Jasper's #2 ranking is well deserved. It's gonna be fun to watch 4AD2 Region 3.

I was being sarcastic, but obviously YOU are - you made that statement as if it were facts/set in stone.
