Some good names in there some not so good. No wonder people gripe about the polls sometimes.

[SETXsports Broadcaster]

alright Newton at number 4 gives us room to move up and Jasper actually ranked :shock: and of course WO-S up there also :?

[SETXsports Broadcaster]

in all those names up there which one is like represents SETx :?: :?:

[NedDog]

Tom Halliburton, Port Arthur News.

[SETXsports Broadcaster]

opps sorry didnt even see his name 8)

[Hupernikomen]

alright Newton at number 4 gives us room to move up and Jasper actually ranked :shock: and of course WO-S up there also :?

Jasper isn't ranked. Looked like one person out of all of those people voted for them for 9th place. So they got 2 points. Newton is probably about where they should be to start the year. The shocker to me is that Gilmer isn't a unanimous choice for #1. Hard to figure that one out.

[Guest Bridge City Card]

Yea Gilmer should be #1. They have enough players to be a 5A school i hear.

[Guest Kelly Football]

Rankings look good to start the season. Of course they'll change week after week.
