I have seen the Polls out there and I don't think they are accurate: they must be based of STATS alone.  Medina Valley played a selected weak pre-season including some questionable 4As & 5As.

They are also in a horrible District setting and were only a "so-so" team last season.  MaxPrep stats say;

Ex.  Lytle 17-12: Pleasanton Eagles 18-12; Poteet Aggies 3-18 and Somerset Bulldogs 6-12-2.

This is incredible, they lost a non-District game to 3A Bandera who is also in a weak-sister District.  Bandara finished 9-2 in District...Now get this  Llano 16-12; Ingram Moore 11-8; Wimberley 9-13; in overall games stats for that District.

I would venture that Medina Valley, Sinton, & Cuero(all in the top 4) could not make the playoffs in 21-3A.  I would further inject: that I would think a dozen Region III teams would beat any of them at present.

Well said........but let them play it's better to be a so called underdog....

GOOD POINT SIR:    I also noticed that Pleasanton Eagles that are actually 18-12 are listed on this Poll above as 20-7 and rated at #10 statewide!  That team would be the caboose in 21-3A.    LOL
