MOST ALL OF YOU ,could do just as good are better than what he ut out. just for the fun of it make up your own top 5 and print it out and at the end of the year look and see if you did better than what he put out

I see it as sci-fi and I watch that about as much as I read DCTF mag.Still he is one of a few who can sell bull dung to the PBR & I respect what he says better than some of the weathermen on the news channels.Dave's staff still does a respectable job trying to predict how teenagers will do before they do it and my guess is they know who the Great HC'S are and that's how they try to rank them.

From the past persepectives, Dave Cambell ranks the teams mostly by the number of starters returning.. His focus is usually around the Dallas and Central Texas areas. It is good reading and i do enjoy it, but most of the folks on this board have a better idea of what is in their district than Dave Cambell does.

No one can predict what a team will or will not do(including Dave Campbell),You can say what a team should do from past performances,Not what they will do in the future, I have yet to see a computer or a prediction taking a hand off from a qb,making a tackle,etc.....same thing goes for physics..Ever hear of one of them winning the Lottery.... ;D

DC never gives this area any credit probably does no research down in this area. The few schools in this area he snubs each season go to Groves when he shows up there and ask him why he gives no credit to SETX sports. I plan on asking him when he shows up/\/\

    • This is good info. It doesn’t really break out for student athletes though. LP & (I think) DP are open enrollment because of the way the towns intertwine. That’s the way it’s been for many years anyway. I assume it still is that way. The kids have a choice after Jr. High to go to either High School because LPISD has elementary schools in DP. As I recall, DP didn’t want to build out more (Robin Hood issues), and so DPISD & LPISD came to an arrangement because LPISD is one of the highest givers to Robin Hood in the state, and it helped both keep more funds in district. Of course, LPISD is open to all. Not just DP, and LPISD is rated well. So, I assume they have kids from elsewhere also. Not positive though. They used to have a lot because—for decades—DeWalt was the only dedicated public school in the GHA that specifically catered to special needs kids. Families from all over enrolled. But, they didn’t participate in extracurricular activities like sports. So, LP’s total enrollment made them 6A. But, they were really a 5A school all along for sports program sake. This is all as best as I can recall from when I was more involved in school issues. I’m sure a lot has changed since then. My kids have been out for 20 years.
    • Our playoff rivalry. They hold a 6-5 edge in the series. I think Newton continues the win streak in a hard fought contest. What say y’all?
    • Has Elmo gotten his aggy premature extension yet?  Pay him already because you guys were exactly right - he really does “get you.” 😂🤣
    • It’s been awhile, but I seem to remember 5 D starters out & 2 O starters out (OL). A big difference is that Simon wasn’t involved yet. He’s totally changed LP’s rushing attack from last year as a bruising, explosive addition to Barnes, Sandolph & Bright. Last year—and early this season—LP was missing that element. Now, Coach Berneathy is not making talented players wait like many other coaches & even his predecessors at LP. If the kid can produce at the varsity level, they’re moved up. And man, has Simon produced! Over 1200 yards & 20 TD’s in less than a full season so far! It’s allowed LP to alternate RB’s where Barnes doesn’t take all the pounding. Barnes and Sandolph are also able to split out as receivers as desired to add threats that weren’t really an option last year. The PNG/LP game was a full-on tilt & good for both squads. I remember Gary Joseph in the end zone giving his son pointers as an extra set of eyes since he’d had experience with LP in past PO matchups. That was a good game. The score wasn’t really indicative of the game. Not sure anyone felt it was over until the final whistle! Good luck to y’all in Cajun Country. Bring back a win for SE Texas. (Yes. La Porte is still SETX. Ha!)
