#5 Barbers Hill vs. Lumberton Updates/BH WINS BIG!!

[BH85]

4 is better than 3 to get rid of the bye.  This week there were 4 games where #4 beat #1 in 5A or 4A I think.  True some districts don't have 4 quality teams but there are exceptions.  Duncanville's district's #6 seed had 20 overall wins and didn't come close to playoff.  Some don't even have 1.  It also gives those up and coming teams a chance to get a taste of the playoffs.  I think Vidor made it as #4 seed in 2011 and now they are in as #2 seed and have won their first round.

This is getting ugly quick, proves 4 playoffs teams is too many. ::) What was you thinking UIL?

Solo,

That just about sums it up......  :-[  I remember a few years back when this district had three teams in the top 20(Ozen,Central & Livingston). I can see having three teams make the playoffs when you have a district that strong. Four is pushing it to expect to have a competative game between a 1st place team and a fourth place team. Congrats to the other 20-4A teams. Ozen, Central and Vidor all advanced!

I guess I'm one of the few that think 4 teams in the playoffs is a good thing.  (Or at least not a negative thing) There are a few good districts out there that in some of those years like LR2014 noted have solid teams in at least the top 3 spots.  The majority of teams play some sort of "warm-up" game anyway...and any #1 views this as a warm up, but still has to keep their guard up.  #4 seeds are always hopeful and most play hard, but its not a realistic expectation for #4 seeds to prevail...so what's the big deal?  A warm-up game with a price if you don't stay on your toes.
The UIL thinks its a good deal...lower classifications are adding an additional team to the playoffs next year.

Agreed! Not sure why some get angry about 4 going. At the end of the day you have to beat everyone to be #1. Plus there have been plenty of upsets in round 1 of any athletic competitions to keep the 4's in there.
