I'm not sure this topic is appropriate while the season is still going.

You mentioned King.  King about to make the playoffs, same as last year.  Hiw is that disappointing? 

[AggiesAreWe]

After their 4-0 start it has to be United.

Another team that started the season off well but will miss the playoffs is Tarkington. Really thought they were going to make the playoffs.

Must have saw it wrong.  

[CardinalBacker]

Well, I can’t speak for you all, but we’ve made dramatic improvements this year. 
 

Our winning percentage improved over last year (thanks, Imelda!), and our fans are still supporting our playoff boycott in its third year. 
 

Go Cards!!!

In this day and time, if you’re not able to finish at least 4th in your district and not make the playoffs, that is the definition of disappointment. 

Let the playoff t-shirt sales begin!

Yeah they were 4-0 and playing well and I was on there bandwagon.  They were also a school to be effected in a major way by the storm Imelda that probably disrupted a lot.

Cleveland Browns, media was crowning them Super Bowl Champs before season. Now for High School, I really think overall the Golden Triangle teams are down. A few bright spots but we could see quite a few teams out after 2nd week of playoffs. Deep East Texas teams I see going very deep are San Augustine and Newton.

You expected more from Baytown Lee?

DiappointING?.. Meh.. I'm sure there were some teams who had a fair amount of relative "success" last year that didn't reciprocate this season.  Most people don't take graduation into account.. most of the time it really hurts a team.  On occasion, it can help a team.

DisappointED?  I would imagine that every team that didn't finish in the top 4 of their district is pretty bummed about it.  Especially considering that most of the area districts are mediocre-awful on a regular basis.  Obviously, there are usually a couple of exceptions where a few area schools will win 2-3 playoff games or more.  As stated previously, the entire area seems to be a little down.  More so than usual.

I'm thinking San Augustine might be better than I thought they would be at the beginning of the year.. but they're always a potential contender.

Barbers Hill and Crosby disappointed me the most by beating PNG.

Yes I did.   Depth issues took care of those expectations.

They were the best team in Baytown. 

I hope the UIL will put us all in the same district next year. Baytown needs some "rivalry" type games (along with some wins) to peak interest in football again.

Perhaps in the district with us and PA...

I agree with you.

From the SETXSports preseason review:  "Head Coach Tim Finn will rely on a talented and experienced squad (seven starters on each side of the ball return in 2019).  Apparently coaching failed them, unless injuries decimated them!   Originally, I said to keep an eye on Baytown because of the returning starters.  But...

Their best back/receiver broke his ankle two weeks ago. 

They never had depth.

I want to play BH, Dayton, and Crosby. I know BH will do what it can to not let that happen.

[oldman]

So BH doesn't want to play Baytown schools?

We have a wining record against Lee and GCM, but I think we have only scrimmaged Sterling in the past.  I'm not sure why you'd be saying that, or are you just saying we won't play Sterling?

What I was told in the past is that when GCM was driving down I-10, past at least 2 schools (Dayton and BH), to play in the Golden Triangle, that BH pushed to not be in a district with GCM and REL. Take it for what it's worth.
