Obviously....our biggest concern is for Marshall to win out the final two games and clinch the top seed in 4A Div II. If we lose to SS or MP, then all this changes. NOT to mention....several of the other districts invoved are still undecided too. With all that said.... here is a FUZZY pic of how our post season road could shape up: ROUND ONE: Lindale is our best bet. Unless Whitehouse pulls and upset, which would send Kilgore down. Henderson will go Div II, but seems to have the inside track to the district title......in theory. ROUND 2: West Mesquite or Corsicana is our best bet. ROUND 3: #7 Denison (7-1) will probably be our best bet as they will face a DISD school no matter what in the second round. ROUND 4 (REGION FINALS): This is where is gets REALLY fuzzy. Rockwall Heath (7-1), Frisco Liberty (5-3), McKinney (3-5), or Sulphur Springs (6-2). Waco University (5-3) could have an outside shot too. ROUND 5 (SEMIFINALS): Region I is loaded with good teams. #13 Aledo (7-1), #23 Stephenville (6-2), #9Birdville (8-0), #27 Everman (6-2) and Denton are all possibilities. ROUND 6: TEXAS BOWL): #10 Brenham (7-1), #20 Dayton (6-2), #8 Port-Neches Groves (8-0), Schertz Clements (5-2), #26 Corpus Christi Calallen (7-1). Like I said....this could allll change after Friday. And even more so after next week. But this is just to have some names floating round our heads. For the record..... 4A Div I is KILLER tough this year. If Longview not only makes it to the title game.....but if they WIN it, they will earn it every step of the way. There are some unreal teams in Div I this season. Lake Travis 8-0- back to back defending state champions Denton Guyer 8-0 gave the Lobos all they wanted last season in the playoffs Angleton 8-0 Highland Park 7-1 Waxahachie 8-0 Waco Midway 7-1 the game the Lobos won on a controversial 2 point conversion Denton Ryan 7-1 Killeen 6-2 Playoffs should be FUN!

The most likely road in my opinion through 4 rounds would be Henderson, West Mesquite, Denison and Dallas Lincoln. We are the 4th highest scoring team (355 points) of the ones looking to be headed to Division 2 Region 2 behind Richardson Pearce (412), Denison (409), Dallas Lincoln (381). It looks like Richardson Pearce and Denison will meet in the 1st round in what should be a shoot-out. According to Massey Ratings, they have Marshall as the top rated team headed to 4A Div II, Reg II at #15 overall with Denison as the next highest regional team right behind at #16. Six of the top 7 rated teams are headed to Div I with Angleton being the top rated team at #6 going Div II. We all know these numbers dont mean anything but I think they are fun to look at and talk about anyway. Last Edited By: The Real Mavfan 11/03/09 11:38:41. Edited 1 time.

Member Posts: 901 11/03/09 17:36:37	Yeah...I have Denison and Rich Peirce knocking each other out in Bi-District, where the winner will meet a DISD school in the second round no matter what. DISD traditionally has not been very good at any classification. There are a few exceptions (Carter, Skyline). Oour second round I think will most likely be West Mesquite, or whoever beats them, which could be Corsicana, Ennis, or Waco University. We then would most likely end up facinf Denison in the third round. Fourth could be ANYONE. Dallas Lincoln? Sulphur Springs? Terrell? Rockwall Heath? of course the 5th round would be from region I, which should be Aledo, Stephenville, Birdville......all are very strong looking. The state title could be anyone as well...... regions III and IV are wide open. PNG, Breham, Dayton....take your pick. Can't wait to see the brackets come late friday night or early Saturday!

Member Posts: 220 11/03/09 20:45:35	What will it take to make a long run in the playoffs? I had a friend make this statement this week, "The way it looks to me Marshall is peaking at the right time." I would have to agree with him. I am seeing things in all three areas of the game that make me say, a long run is ahead. The offense seems to explode no matter who is in the backfield. The defense, of late, is making the key plays to stop opponents from scoring. Special teams has the the ability to break a long run rather it is a kickoff return or punt return. Giving the offense a short field. Does anyone else see the Mavericks peaking at the right time?

The offensive line just does not get enough credit for the job they have been doing opening holes for Jamal, JC, French, etc. We have been putting up huge numbers on the ground while being able to throw it from time to time when necessary. I really liked the play action pass that was put in against Sulphur Springs, with our running game that could really hurt some defenses. Our defense is really starting to play well with the adjustments the coaching staff has made with personnel. The LB crew with Kelly, Franklin, Davenport, Oney, etc is SOLID and the d-line has been putting decent pressure on QB's. The secondary, which was no doubt the weak link early in the year, has improved tremendously the past few weeks especially with French in at CB. I think the safety Roderick Davis has made perhaps the biggest improvement over the course of the year and has made some huge plays the past couple of weeks against Texas High & SS. With our speed in special teams I do think we can take one to the house any given return or at least set up the O with good field position. My biggest concern is how the coaching staff will respond late if we are involved in a close game in the playoffs and making sure we dont try to get too cute on offense.

The 90's total was thru 16 games. Alot of the credit needs to go to Coach Lottinger and what he has done with the oline, very few holding calls. The whole team has had fewer penalities this year.

These are district records ONLY. 9-4A Denison 6-0 Sherman 6-0 Frisco Liberty 4-2 Frisco Wakeland 3-3 McKinney 3-3 Denison and Sherman are facing off for the district title Friday night. Winner takes all. Frisco Liberty Vs. McKinney- A Mck Loss eliminates them from the playoffs. A win could make a messy tie. No idea what their tiebreakers are. Frisco Wakeland Vs. McKinney North- A Wakeland win will clinch a playoff. A loss with the results of the above game will be messy. Denison will go Div II no matter what (smallest in the district). Wakeland will too if they get in, if not Liberty will go Div II. 10-4A Highland Park 6-0 Carroltton Smith 5-1 Rockwall Heath 5-1 Richardson Peirce 4-2 Perce Vs. Newman Smith Heath Vs. HP Rockwall Vs. Greenville Loos as if these are the 4 going to the playoffs, but the order is muddled. HP and smith will go Div I. Heath and Peirce will go Div II. 11-4A Dallas Carter 4-0 South Oak Cliff 5-1 Dallas Pinkston 4-2 4 teams tied at 2-4 Carter will go Div I no matter what. Oak Cliff will go Div I unless Dallas Kimball gets in (one of the 4 teams tied). All the others will go Div II. 12-4A Dallas Lincoln 5-0 Woodrow Wilson 5-0 Sammuell 3-2 Conrad/Adams 2-3 Lincoln and Wilson meet for the district title this Friday. Adams and Samuell will go Div I. Unless Conrad get in and Adams misses out, then Wilson goes Div I. 13 and 14 These are the East Texas districts. 15-4A Red Oak 5-0 West Mesquite 4-1 Terrell 3-2 Forney 3-2 Lancaster 2-3 Red Oak Vs. Forney- RO wins district with a win. Forney may need help. Lancaster Vs. Terrell- A Terrel win puts them in and elimnates Lancaster. A Lanc. win woulc rcreate a messy tie needing tiebreakers. West Mesqite Vs. Mabank- WM should win and would clinch. Red Oack and Forney will go Div I unless Lancaster gets in. Then Lancaster goes Div I and Red Oack would drip to Div II with West Mesquite. 16-4A Waxahachie 6-0 Waco Midway 5-1 Cleburne 3-3 Ennis 3-3 Waco University 3-3 Corsicana 3-3 Waxahachie Vs, Waco Midway- This is for the district title. Both have clinched playoff spots already. Cleburne Vs. Corsicana- The winner of this game should advance to the playoffs. The loser will most likely be eliminated. Ennis Vs. Waco University- The winner of this game will advance to the playoffs. The loser will most likely be eliminated. Waxahachie and Waco Midway will go Div I. Cleburne, Corsicana, Ennis, Waco University would all go Div II. Seedings may involve tie breakers. Looks like some of this will iron out on Friday unless there are some upsets. Otherwise it could be sometime on Saturday before things are set.

Those boys were blocking their butts off. I was really impressed with their quickness and ability to get down field to block out front. The guys on the radio have said this O-Line is good, but WOW!

Member Posts: 221 11/06/09 08:28:45	So, the best I can tell Mavericks will play either Lindale, Whitehouse or Kilgore in the playoffs. Depends on how District 14-4a finishes up tonight. I think there are eight different scenarios. If play Kilgore, I believe the game will have to be at R.E. St. John Stadium. The reason a UIL rule about flipping home and home. We saw this rule in effect when we played Klein Oak in 2004 and 2005. If we play Whitehouse or Lindale, would the teams flip for home and home again? I could see playing Whitehouse or Lindale at Rose Stadium or Lobo Stadium. Play home home, expenses are kept down. Just curious, Sulphur Springs or Hallsville. Impressed with Hallsville game plan against Texas High last week. With this game at Bobcat Stadium I would say a small edge belongs to the Bobcats. I pick Hallsville.
