setxhoopsfan Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 Would a Deer Park win this week clinch a playoff spot? If WB goes D1 they would play Atascocita in the first round. If they go D2 they will play Humble or Kingwood a much easier game and a better chance at a state title. Quote
WOSgrad Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 Yes, a win would clinch a playoff spot. Should they avoid going DI? Of course, the problem is at this point whether or not that happens has little to do with how they do the rest of the season. Quote
Kowboy98 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 I don’t know how you “avoid” going D1. All you can do is try to win the games you play and not worry about the rest. No they shouldn’t intentionally lose to DP Quote

I brought this very thing up in the 21-6A thread, it's an interesting idea but i highly doubt Coach Peevey would go for it. 82 5A State Champs and BMTSoulja1 2 Quote
Football Freak Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 The mere suggestion of the idea to lose on purpose to "try and get a better playoff line up" makes me sick. Anyone that agrees with that kind of thought process is an idiot and I hope and pray they are nowhere near kids to poison their minds with that crap. Quote

It was one of the biggest stories of the end of last regular season, im not the only one that thought they tanked like the Dolphins in that particular game versus a Cove team they should've blown the doors off of. Some of their own players said it, i tend to believe em. Only evidence i needed to see was that 2nd half when backups were put in, specifically that 4th quarter. 😉 I don't think Peevey would do that though, don't wanna mess with the Football Gawds. Quote
Football Freak Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 Any coach that loses on purpose, should never be allowed to coach again. I’d be more forgiving of a coach that “Woody Hayes'd” a kid than one that would lose on purpose. WOSgrad 1 Quote

If you take the emotion out it. The game has no meaning for WB. You would be playing teams with similar enrollments by going D2. Atascocita and WB would be an evenly matched contest in the first round. Probably one of the toughest first round games in the state. I watch the North Shore/WB game and WB would not be favored in a rematch. Tough position to be in for WB. 2kajun 1 Quote
2kajun Posted October 30, 2019 Report Posted October 30, 2019 Well if they go D1 they would probably Play against Atascocita in the first round! Not fair Quote

I believe all schools in that Cypress district are schools pushing 3600 and more. I'm sure there's other districts in the region thats like that too... Quote

"The goal IS to win state". You should try to win every single game. But one of the most important parts of HS Athletics is to teach a few life lessons regarding honesty, character, hard work and integrity along the way. You should try to win every single time you play. You should try to do your best every time you play. You should work your a** off everyday to develop yourself into the best you can be ( that's Coaches/Players/Administrators/Program ). If you intentionally quit on a game to lose for a "better match up" that is absolute cowardice. So, you only wanna play if your think you can win. You only wanna play if you're matched evenly, you only wanna play if they have the same amount of players as you. Well I got news for you... That is NOT how life works. You can't always even the odds so you have a better chance of success. You can't just only "play" if you think you can win. I will say it again, and I'll be done with this... If you lose on purpose ( easier opponent, better match up, etc. ) you are a COWARD. Alpha Wolf 1 Quote

West Brook beat Deer Park and the following week, United had to beat Deer Park to go to the playoffs. If United would have won, it would have sent WB to D1 and United to D2. Well we all know how that turned out and Channelview got in because of Uniteds loss which sent Channelview to D1 and WB to D2. No need for WB to tank tomorrows game... Quote
