Kingwood Mustangs!

[Separation Scientist]

Not so much has been said of the remarkable season Kingwood had. I think after finishing 4th seed people pretty much wrote them off. KW beat Clear Springs, Elkins, and Strake Jesuit before losing to Summer Creek in the 4th round. Awesome year for the "nobody" in the district with NS, Atascocita, and Summer Creek. 

Kingwood and Woodville are the overachievers of 2024. Great job Kingwood Mustangs!

I've said it over and over if Kingwood is in another district they're a second or third place finisher. They may not have thourghbreds like the other Mustangs in their district. But they have given us their best the past couple of seasons. Unfortunately their best just hasn't been enough.

I wanna see if it's sustainable.  Me thinks CE Kang will put Kingwood back with the rest of the midgets in that district

That’s why 23-6a is deepest district in the state.

Did they have the leading rusher in the District for the last two years? They have several D1 players on the team.

They definitely have work horses but they don't have race horses like North Shore does.

They'll continue to battle with C. E. King for the fourth playoff spot.

I think that's only because Hardemen(sp) for NS was hurt a lot of the year

I think they have at least one “race horse”. He led the district in rushing for two straight years.

This year or last year? Kid from Kingwood has done it twice.

Perhaps, I know Atascocita beat them by a point. They have quite a few young guns coming up. Will be interesting if they can replace the RB

[Separation Scientist]

Only NS and SC dominated KW, Kingwood came within a point of beating Atascocita. 

Making the 4th round validates it. Kingwood has the program on the grow.

In bold: the exact same thing can be said about CE King and they have proved that recently.

Matter of fact: I don't remember any threads giving props to CE King during those runs as 4th seed recently. Hmmm... Interesting.

So, make one posthumously. I said Kingwood was gonna beat out CEK for the 4 spot at the beginning of the season after LP played them.

If UIL does start cracking down on transfers, they’ll be in the mix a lot more every year. I also just have a gut feeling Stump’s clock may be running. He’ll be 60 with at least 20 years, and I don’t see him ever getting past NS.

I was just pointing out facts from prior to this particular season. I sure don't wanna say Kingwood got 4th this year because of transfers.

True point. I just edited & added about Stump. Thoughts?

I've never been a Stump supporter wholeheartedly.

Definitely could not say the others have not benefitted from transfers.

I have been suppoortive of CEK, even attended a game, but the point of the tread is "overachieving", at least thats what I meant. CEK has had lots of weapons to work with, Kingwood seems to be overachieving with what they have on hand. Therefore it was not much of a surprise when athletic CEK did well. 

I did not mean for this thread to take on some kind of unfortunate overtones. I didn't think stating "Kingwood and Woodville" were the surprise teams of the year would be a problem. Feel free to prop CEK. I'll agree with you.

 Is 6a r3 d2 very good? 
Seems that year in year out you have more talent in the d1 route.

To me, it’s cyclical in 6AR3D2. The talent you see maybe should really be at a D2 school?

Theres also a very big gap in sizes of schools/programs between D1/D2 in 6AR3. More so than in some of the other regions. Quite a few ‘mega schools’ in R3.

Nothing against Stump. Just looking at where he’s at as far as age, tenure & possibilities of bettering his record (as far as SC possibilities) as long as he’s going up against NS to progress further.

I think he’s probably already cemented a place in the GHA Coaches HOF. Maybe, even more. Don’t know his exact record. But, I think it’s pretty darn good.

Don’t mean to veer this away from Kingwood. But, if Stump does retire, it may also help Kingwood as Atascocita would have to adjust for a bit.

[Vini vidi]

The mega school is real 23-6a could have 4 over 4k enrollment. Numbers matter.
