3BRONCOS2 Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 IMO I think the best program in Texas might be LT right now "4 straight state championships with 3 different head coaches and 1 this year when we consider this to be an off year for them,because they lost i think 2 games",im not saying they are the #1 team in Texas. Denton Guyer and Cibolo Steele both was 4A last season, move up to 5A and beat everyone in D2 to play for state. So what do you think, can your team hold there own with anyone? Is a 4A or a 3A team beating most 5A teams possible in your eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Parity. You can be a average 5A team and take on say a Brownwood, Carthage or Chapel Hill and get beat in a close one (this past season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradinUp BH Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I think it depends on the area. For example, in the suburbs of areas growing they are getting kids from all over moving into the community and alot of talent to pick from. You take an area like "Golden Triangle" where the population is actually decreasing and you only have the kids that parents have stayed here forever and a limited talent pool. So, I think you take the areas growing with 5A numbers and they beat probably most if not all 4A, unless it's a 4A school in one of the areas that growing and the school would be 5A in the new realignment. Hopefully that made sense ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRONX ROX Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I believe the top teams in 3A / 4A can beat the average 5A teams but the issue is depth and # of players the 5A schools have. The top 1-5 players on each team is about the same but when you get to 6-10 and so on the 5A schools do not have as much drop off in talent. Most 3A / 4A teams a majority of the kids play both ways and in 5A there is enough talent to play specific positions. As the game goes on it takes a toll on the players lining up on a fresh player every other down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredible the amount of new schools opening every year in texas. This is a huge difference of let's say the 80's and even early 90's where there was not near the amount of schools involved.

Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Just look at the D/FW area. Back in the day it was only a handful of elite teams, now everyone has moved to the metroplex and teams have gotten better. 3a on up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRONX ROX Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Now days parents will move to certain schools / areas to give their kids the chance to play for big name programs to get reconized.

You didn't about LT until recently. That area is booming and to move there, you better bring a very large checkbook. I rode around there a couple of months ago, and all I can say is wow!

I think you can throw out the classification. Only time I feel the classifications matter If a power running 5a team is playing a 4a team. I seen too many times a good 4a team get wore down by power running 5a teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atownbcat Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 last year LT played and beat austin westlake who played for one of the 5A championships. I believe they lost in OT. I think depth is the problem not the talent level. I would put our first 6 OL against most other teams out there 7 on down we start losing ground and I mean no disrespect to thoes kids they just dont have the ability of the first 6.

It will be by Seven Lakes and Cinco Ranch HS. CY-Fair also has Cy-Ranch that should be playing varsity. Alot of schools about to come on line in the Houston area. There's also a new one in Fort Bend in the Sienna Plantation neighborhood and Lamar Consolidated has a new HS. You ask why our area doesn't always do great in the playoffs, well look at all of the schools now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shorttexas1 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 The only 4A example everyone is bringing up is LT!!!! The majority of the other 4A schools would struggle with the 5A mega schools. Texas football now is all about the subburbs. The inner city dominance is gone from now on! The 5A suburbs will dominate football around Texas for a long time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
