OFF: Shoemaker (6-2, 3-1)

Thursday game:

Belton (3-4, 1-2 district) @ Ellison (6-2, 2-2 district)

My predictions:
Belton over Ellison
Cove over Heights
Midway over Killeen

[JohnKilleen]

I think Daves predictions are right. I would watch Belton. They have been hot and cold. I could see an Ellison upset over belton then possibly a later Belton upset over Midway. The district is weak this year but balanced. The 11 6 A teams will probably massacre our teams in round 1.

Well, I have tickets for the Ellison game, so I guess I'll see Thursday night how good the Eagles are against a relative unknown..

I think they can win if they keep the same defense they had last week, and do a little better on having their receivers hang on to easy catches.

[stevendub]

Ellison pretty much needs to win Thursday for a playoff spot. In fact they clinch with a win on Thursday and a Killeen loss Friday. Lose and even if they manage to upset Midway they have to hope Belton loses their last 2 and/or the Roos don't run the table.

So it's gonna be tough to beat Belton, they're gonna have to pull out all the stops pretty much. They are capable though.

I've been very proud of the Ellison Eagles this year. They have always played hard....and their losses have been close, ...but, I do not think they can beat either Belton or Midway,..both, very, very tough teams. This does not take away from their very successful year. They have been very, very good...and had a really good year.

If Cove wins out against Heights and Shoemaker they will be in the playoffs.
With a 4-6 record!!!!
Ridiculous.
Save the state, districts and fans some money - stay at home. Will only be another 60-14 demolition anyway.

Even if they win 1 of those 2 it's likely they'll still be in.

Just shows how absolutely crappy 12-6A is.
I remember when the district we were all in had some power. Ever since we got put in Region 1 we've stunk it up.

[JohnKilleen]

Our district is actually in Region 2. Over the years I have noticed how much stronger the metro suburban districts have become. I believe it will be unusual for the old 6a power teams to make it far in the playoffs anymore. Hard to get past Allen, Cedar Hill, Southlake, the Houston area schools. Would be great if our Centex teams lost some enrollment and dropped to 5a. Teams are still tough but the numbers are more equal. It did Temple a world of good.
