The other top teams aren’t as strong as last year. At least to this point. I think there could be a surprise team emerge. Don’t see anyone in Regions 3-4 that can knock off Aledo. The only team than can beat Aledo is Aledo, the question is which team this year will have that chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Fort Bend Marshall is the favorite in the region. They are fast like normal but have a bunch of experience that came back.

Cougar14.2 Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 As of today I would say: 1. FB Marshall 2 Crosby 3. Montgomery 4. A&M-Con. 5. Texas High It’s hard to get a feel for FB Marshall this year because of their schedule. Their offense is kind of weird this year because their qb is also their leading rusher. I’ve been on Montgomery since the beginning of the year. They have all the offensive weapons, I’m just not sure about their defense?

MrFleet23 Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 That cupcake schedule for Marshall is a double edge sword. On one hand you really can't tell if they are overrated or underated on the other they have faced zero adversity at all. If you're a great team thats going to happen anyway but as we saw last year they blew thru preseason and district and damn near lost in the first rd. I still think they take it tho. Amazing program for a team that is barely a 5A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFleet23 Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Other than last year they haven't had the cupcake schedule. They at least would have Manvel to play every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we have issues finding teams from time to time. We have to expand our drive time. Regarding their district there isnt really much they can do.

Don't know for sure about teams not wanting to play them. But I believe that the Dallas area has less schools. They should be able to find some middle of the rd. 6A schools out here. They could be at an awkward spot where they're too good for top 5A schools and not good enough for top 6A's. Northshore, Katy teams of that caliber would probably kill them. But that's what they are going to have to compete with in order to beat Aledo. IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Marshall could play Alief Taylor, FB Ridge Point, Dawson, Shadow Creek, George Ranch, etc. With an enrollment of only like 1,300 I think coach Williams chooses to play a soft schedule in hopes of keep his guys healthy for the playoffs. Most starters only play two quarters during the regular season. He really ain't looking for that kind of smoke in non-district play though.

I still say Crosby, if the Q/B and running back are healthy, the defense will give them a chance to win every game at least to the third round.

Don't forget Kirkwood that kid looks virtually unguardable. He's has several d1 prospects line up across from him and so far he's been a beast.

AledoAlumni Posted October 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Voted Fort Bend Marshall on the poll question earlier but Crosby has been rolling lately. Still think it comes down to those two ultimately. Regarding region 2 it will come down to Aledo and Lovejoy. With all due respect but I think those are the teams on the short list for state.

Separation Scientist Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 OK, I was reluctant to post this, but after some thought this is how I think it plays out: First, the disclaimer. I do NOT know the official tie breaking protocol. What I am posting is just my view of the next two weeks, Zero guarantees, just my thoughts. Here is my take: Crosby locked at #1. TC is currently #2, but has to play PNG and BH, both teams have winning records. BH should beat Dayton, and then plays TC. PNG plays TC, then beats Santa Fe Ned beats K-Park, loses to Crosby. Honestly I don't think TC is as good as their record at this point but I could be very wrong. They struggled with Ned, lost badly to Crosby, and had a weak pre-district. I think BH beats Dayton, then gets excited and narrowly beats TC in the last game. BH is gelling. BH ends 5-2 in 2nd place. TC probably splits PNG and BH, giving them a 5-2 record, but TC is 3rd because BH won head to head. I think PNG and Ned ties for 4th. I don't know how tie is broken. Points I guess. So, I think Crosby 1, BH 2, TC 3, Ned or PNG 4th. I am not trying to change anyone's mind or anything, nor am I speaking as a BH "homer" at all. Thats just how I see it ending up. Just an opinion! If you see obvious flaws, please let me know. Tell me what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me what you think. This is exactly what I think will happen. The only thing I will point out is that in your scenario PNG and Ned couldn’t tie for 4th place because Ned has the head to head. If BH and TC both finish 5-2, Ned and PNG finish 4-3 then Ned gets in. PNG gets ready for baseball season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
