weasel Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 The UIL Region 3 Bracket is now on line: There is an upper and bottom portion to the bracket. Here is how I see the top teams in each portion:TOP HALF OF BRACKET: Waco Midway Stratford PNG Brenham Santa Fe FosterBOTTOM HALF OF BRACKET: Friendswood Goose Creek Memorial Magnolia Kingwood Park Montgomery Lumberton NederlandTop half is VERY STRONG....Waco Midway is undeafeated and played in the State Semi-Finals last year! Stratford dropped down from 5A this year and is 19-2; PNG has had a tough early schedule and should be battle tested AND HEALTHY! Brenham is Brenham! Not enough info on Santa Fe and Foster...but both seem very very competitive!Bottom Half: Friendswood is the class and the pick to advance; Goose Creek has a viable record and seems to be in going in the right direction; Magnolia beat Brenham in first outing 1-0; then loss 5-0 to the Cubettes in the next game; Kingwood Park finished second to Stratford...and could be #2 on this list very easily... Montgomery won their District...and seem to be battle tested! Lumberton is my pick to make it to the 5th round and battle Friendswood ....Just my opinion....PS: Watch out for those PNG LADY INDIANS...
FriendswoodFan Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Santa Fe has lots of talent, but has been a bit of a disappointment this year -- I was expecting more from them. Foster is about the same as always -- some very good players but also some glaring weaknesses. Sorry to say it Sharkie, but, I think the top half is all about Midway with Stratford being the only team capable of challenging them. But, good luck to PNG!!Lumberton is about as good a pick as any to make it to the Regional seminfinal to play FHS, but I do not see them hanging within 5 goals of the Lady Mustangs. The Midway vs. Friendswood final should be a really good game. I think the teams are closer in talent than any previous years.
weasel Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Posted March 22, 2011 I hear you loud and clear FF! Much respect to the two you picked to make the finals of Region 3! I just know that anything can happen in soccer...and that the Lady Indians from PNG will be a solid challenger for anyone..... ;D
