 1. [b]Central[/b] - Many athletes return from the most dominate squad in 20-4A.  Excellent coaching that seems to build great players.
 2.  [b]Livingston[/b] - Livingston has a strong coaching staff too, but also returns the best player in district in Daylyn Harris.  An extremely strong freshman group from last season will help the Lions push Central for the district crown.
 3. [b]Ozen[/b] - Should be competing for the third spot on sheer athletic ability alone.
 4. [b]LCM[/b] - Solid coaching that has lead the Bears to a playoff spot each of the last two seasons.  Good play from some key returning players will pave the way to another playoff apperance in 2011 for the Bears.  May possibly contest for a spot higher than #4 if some some young players mature early.
5. Lumberton - Wildcard - Always seem to have good "younger" teams, but the "W's" have not come easy at the varsity level recently. Turmoil in the system has not helped the rebuilding process.
6. Vidor - New coach - new system
7. PNG
8. Nederland

That is a pretty good analysis Slam14.

This is good and pretty accurate, but this district may be even more wide open than before. Ozen is stronger than I thought and Lumberton has a strong team with big numbers.  (Lots of kids in the program)  If the turmoil settles, the Raiders could be very strong.  Vidor is an upstart as well.  The new Vidor coach brings some new structure and more importantly his own daughters as well as a transfer.  Coach's freshman daughter will be the starting point guard...she will turn some heads.  Vidor could surprise teams this season.
  Nederland has a transfer from Memorial, but unsure if that's enough to make a difference for a team that struggled with only 3 wins last season.

    • I agree but Hitchcock had better skill players 
    • Waco LaVega is about equal to Hitchcock in speed and size. 
    • You’re the one talking about Elementary school kids.  What I’m saying is that there are kids who play Jr School ball in GCCISD and then transfer into BHISD/GPISD/LPISD/DPISD between 8th and 9th.  Doing so means no PAPF/eligibility questionnaire and they get to play Freshman/JV, work out with the team, etc. and look homegrown because they transferred before freshman year.  it’s a loophole.  All the big programs do it.  That’s why the UIL rules changes, to close up the 8th-to-9th transfer portal, and it isn’t even taking effect until Aug 1 2025 so you’ll see these transfers this summer. Also, as far as BHISD being closed instead of open, just look at the GCCISD transfer numbers I posted.  GCCISD loses twice as many kids to BHISD per year, the “closed” district, than they do to the open Districts in the area.  Anyone who lives here knows folks who’ve used MeeMaw’s address to get their kids in there.  It is what it is and if it wasn’t, UIL wouldn’t be changing those rules and sending one of their own to the DECs now would they?   Go ask Coach Abseck how many kids in his program are 8th Grade transfers.  We know that at North Shore that number is at least 20% because of the numbers they had to provide UIL during their recruiting investigation.  I’ll bet BHISD’s numbers are AT LEAST that.  Again, THEY ALL DO IT.  
    • According to Texas Tribune, Gccisd, Laporte and deer park are all rated B. Barbers Hill is an A. GC has a higher 4 year graduation rate than LP or DP. BH is far and away the best district on this side of town. GC has a much higher percentage economically disadvantaged at 71.7% with LP being next closest at 52%. Surprised that GC is performing so well considering. All of the players that would likely make a great football team are out by GCM and Sterling. If GCM had Lee's coach and dropped back down into 5A division 1, they would be able to compete very well against BH and LP. I don't know what their problem is with getting the athletes to gel into an actual team. Lee still beat them both this year and was sort of a down year by Lee's standards. Lot of injuries some kids moved out of district and they are paper thin as it is.
