Playoffs


Recommended Posts

That is correct.  Barbers Hill will go into Division 1 regardless and Nederland will go Division 2 with PNG.  PNG will face Friendswood I believe in the first round. BH will get Laporte I am pretty sure since Galveston Ball and Laporte will go into Div 1 out of that district.  Tuesdays game is only to see if Nederland can get a share of district.

Correct. Ironic  NED and PNG as the 3rd and 4th place finishers in Div 2 get the tougher draw. UIL screwed the pooch on this whole deal. 

Friendswood has a clear path to State in D2.  BH will be lucky to get past A&M Consol in the second round.  Will have to play their best match of the year to do it.

So this whole new Div 1 and Div 2 system all screwed up… several people were complaining UIL rushed this when this first came and said they should have waited. 

They didn't need divisions in 5A and below. They already moved a ton of 5A teams up to 6A this year so it was not needed at all. You have basically created the YMCA Division in all sports by watering it down this much.

As someone else said, Friendswood might not even break a sweat going all the way to State this year where in years past they never advanced past round 3. Will it even be satisfying knowing you are playing at a lower level and beneath your talent while not even receiving a challenge?  Eh

 

UIL also got rid of the regional tournaments so you have to make the state finals to even get a true state like experience.

AMC was the favorite based on what?  Last year AMC did not even make the playoffs and BH was in the regional finals? Both undefeated district champs.  I would say that was a definite toss up and if I am not mistaken AMC was running a freshman setter.  Maybe based on strength of schedule you could say AMC had a similar record while playing much tougher opponents throughout the season. BHs best win may have been 2A Iola?

In my opinion in VB losses by 6 and 7 points in a set is convincing much less 3 sets in a row.

AMC was the favorite. This could have been a 3-0 sweep with 10 point wins but BH showed up and fought hard. I would not say AMC won "convincingly". This is meaningless semantics though. Time to look ahead. BH will defintely be back stronger next year.

SSDY - Same “Stuff” Different Year(s). Two teams with equivalent talent but big differences in coaching. Seems that a pattern is building at BH VB.

Due to stuff I read on social media. It may or may not have been true. 

I discount whatever happened "last year" for any team. Different players, different talent year to year. 

I respect your and others opinion, though.
