What's funny is that the "experts" are predicting West Brook to finish the regular season with a 6-4 record. The last time the Bruins finished with that record, they won a state title!

'Earned its way'

Much of the magazine's production of preseason rankings falls on the lap of San Antonio resident Carl Padilla, author of a weekly "Padilla Poll" publication he said many coaches subscribe to for $140 per school year.

Padilla, who has compiled state rankings for Texas Football since 1998, said he put West Brook in the top 25 because of Stump's coaching record and the return of 16 starters to a team that went 7-0 in District 21-5A last season.

Among those returning is Christine Michael, one of Texas Football magazine's top-20 running backs.

"West Brook has earned its way," said Padilla, whose rankings - created in early May before the magazine goes to press - might be tweaked before the release of another set of state rankings before the Texas High School Coaches Association's coaching school in late July.

For Padilla, the process of determining state rankings requires a bit more than flipping coins and throwing darts. He attended 52 games between El Paso, Corpus Christi, Houston and Waco last season, pored over filled-out questionnaires returned by more than 1,000 coaches and considers each program's history when he makes rankings.

Padilla admits a school such as West Orange-Stark, which has played in four state finals and won twice during coach Dan Hooks' 27 seasons, gets a nod ahead of most others based on history. That's part of the reason he put the Mustangs at No. 9 in Class 3A.

"They're what I call a perennial," Padilla said. "You know they're going to get in the playoffs. You don't know how far they'll go, but the team that beats them is going to be successful."

Among other Southeast Texas state-ranked schools, Newton is ninth in Class 2A and Kirbyville is 13th in Class 2A.

WB can't have 16 returning starters, can they?  Powdrill, Malbrough, Chavis,Falgout, Williams, Zeno, plus a nose guard and tight end.  I thought all those guys were seniors, plus another o-line.  Help me out here Bear.

5afootball.com has WB wuth 9 on O and 2 on D.......

[Hotrodg]

Remember those types of things are based on coach submitted forms. Something I have heard of:

Say a jr. starts at RB.  A sr. starts at FS.  After the season the FS graduates.  The next year the kid that played RB also plays FS and is written down as a "returning starter".  This is more common at the smaller schools where there are more two-way players.

Just food for thought.

Just what I thought!   DCTF uses the Padilla Poll for their rankings...

It actually says that on the DCTF website.

It says the Hamshire-Fannett Falcons will be 3rd!!!!

LOL

It's the Hamshire Falcons and the Fannett Longhorns. They got too big and split into two schools for next year.

you laugh along time ago before the two schools merged Fannett was the Falcons and Hamshire-New Holland were the Bulldogs. Fannett wore Green & Gold and Hamshire wore Blue & White. That's how the came up with

with Blue & Gold for the New school colors, as far as the Mascot I am not sure how they came up with a Longhorn. Maybe there is some one out there that can answer this.

The students voted on the colors and the mascot.  There were three mascots that made the finals one was the Longhorn, the other was the Bulldog and the third was the Tiger (could have been a Wildcat, I'm not sure), but the Longhorn won.  Neither the Falcon nor the Bulldog was suppose to be nominated, however the Hamshire student did not get this message or ignored it.  For the longest, most of the Hamshire students would get blue stones in their senior ring and the Fannett students would get gold.

it's 9 returners on offense. Plus the kid taking over Powdril's spot is just as good or better. This offense shold be explosive. With a young defense WB may have to outscore some people to win

I apologize, I understood you to say that we had 8 returners, not counting the basketball player/receiver......what's his name? Donte Lopez, I think.... Soulja knows who I'm talking about. If you counted him(he didn't play as a junior), that made nine. Sorry for the bad info.

[BearWolf]

it's 9 returning on offense not counting Lopez. Lopez will replace Powdril. A WB coach verified it again to me last week

Sorrrry!

[BearWolf]

you were close enough. Lol

[82 5A State Champs]

Maybe we can hope that our defense will mature faster than normal, and be a good complement to our offense.

[BMTSoulja1]

Yes, Lopez will be something special from what I hear.  He is an athlete.  That showed on the hardwood.  That young defense will be tested early.  I just hope they jell together by district.

[BearWolf]

half of the defense may be Soph. Very athletic but again young. They will be specimens as Juniors. The two Sophmores to be DE's at 6'-3" should fill out to 6'- 5" by there Junior year.
