The official spread says that Paducah is a six point underdog to Northside. Could there be an upset here? I believe it is possible.

Division 1 District 1 Contest
# 7 Follett (5 - 1) hosting # 13 Valley (3 - 3)
From the gitgo, these are the two teams believed to be the District champ and runner up. Here in the very first week of district they will battle it out. The official spread has Valley as a 10 point underdog to Follett. The last two wins by Follett have been on quality teams. Valley will enter the game after losing to Paducah last week. Here is a closer look at the season for these two teams.

Division 2 # 2 Borden County travels to Division 1 # 25 Sterling City.
Sterling City is enjoying a 4-1 season in their debut in Six-Man. They have a seasoned HC in Clyde Parham. The community has rallied around the program but better yet the young men have bought into the program. Those three things combined definitely lend a hand toward the program being successful. They are entering a tough three weeks starting with Borden County. The SC Eagles are 26 point underdogs against Borden County. BC is very quick and plays well as a team. District starts next week for Sterling City and the Eagles will face # 14 Garden City and # 5 Fort Davis back to back. This game with Borden County will be helpful in judging where the Eagles stand.

BTW it will also be a good game for HC Trey Richey and the Coyotes of BC to solidify their Division 2 # 2 ranking. Coach Richey believes in teaching the fundamentals of blocking and and tackling. That sounds simple but it is extremely important and especially so in the game of Six-Man. The Coyotes were very close to making the playoffs last season and are very determined to this year. This game will serve as the last tune up before BC opens district play. Preseason picks had BC and Sands at the teams projected to advance to the playoffs from Division 2 District 6. The current situation appears to reinforce those preseason picks. Sands, currently ranked # 8 in Division 2, lost to Sterling City 58 to 40 a couple of weeks ago.

Borden County (4-0)

Division 1 # 19 Ropesville Ropes travels to Division 1 # 20 Petersburg
The official spread for this game favors Ropes by three. Coach Joseph O'Malley of Petersburg chose as his teams motto for the season "Rasing The Bar". It would appear they have done so thus far into the season.

Coach Lane Jackson and Ropes' last years edition advanced to the area round of the playoffs. Ropes lost key players from that team but returns good players as well. A win here will have them on the right track as district will begin the next week.

GOOD FOOTBALL TO YOU

Coach Wayne Henderson was surprised by my visit. I introduced myself and he said he reads my comments on SixManFootball.com. Here is a sample of how that all went down.

SMC: I also write a blog on GoFridayNight.Com. called Six-Man Central.

Coach Henderson: At the Abilene Reporter~News?

SMC: Yes, that's correct. Can we talk a moment?

Coach Henderson: Sure.

SMC: You guys are currently ranked # 8 in the state in Division 2. How do you feel about that? Is your team worthy of the ranking?

Coach Henderson: Well, it feels good. The team has worked really hard. That was a goal we set as a team, that and making the playoffs. What I talk to my guys about is the # 8 ranking is just on paper. A computer beat out some numbers and we are ranked # 8. It is exciting. We are doing good. We are 4-1. We got down a couple of scores to Sterling City early and never made it up. We know we have to play the games.

Here is the season record injected my SMC.
Sands (4-1)
week 0 Sands 30 Hermleigh 16
week 1 Sands 47 Wilson 0
week 2 Sands 48 Trent 0
week 3 Sterling City 58 Sands 40
week 4 Sands 88 Spur 40

SMC: You guys are Division 2. How much did you miss the cutoff on being Division 1?

Coach Henderson: It was close, we did not miss it much. Those numbers fluctuate as you know. If we were to turn in numbers today, we would be in Division 1 by a couple or so. Of course we are in Division 2 this season and next. Then, we will see how it goes. We believe we can compete in either Division. This season we are 1 and 1 against Division 1 teams.

SMC: There are several factors that one has to take into account when determining if you can compete at whatever level, right?

Coach Henderson: That is for sure. Numbers would be one thing and of course injury will always plat a role in your numbers. I started out one season a couple of years ago with 21 boys and wound up with nine. That season went South in a hurry.

SMC: How healthy are you right now? I believe you go to Dawson Friday?

Coach Henderson: We are looking pretty good. I have one player that they are looking at a knee today. We hope for the best. I have another player with a health related issue being checked out today as well. Worst case we may go to Dawson with 10 players. I usually try to carry twelve.

SMC: An injury can indeed turn a promising season into a disaster.

Coach Henderson: Yes sir.

SMC: I noticed there is lots of construction going on.

Coach Henderson: Yes sir. We are building a new gym and auditorium.

SMC: (laughing) How about turf for the field?

Coach Henderson: Actually that has been discussed. Water source or lack thereof is a problem for us as I am sure it is for many other six-man schools. We got around six inches of rain a couple of weeks ago that has sure helped out.

SMC: What about the playoffs? You guys in for sure?

Coach Henderson: Staying healthy means everything and you have to win your games. Yes we think we will be there. October 24th is a big game with us. That is Borden County. We have to take care of business between now and then for sure. We have Dawson this week. We are open the next week. That is kind of funny. We have had the last week of the season open for the last two seasons. I am having to rethink the open date here in the middle of the season.

SMC: I know coaches feel like open dates can get you out of sync. At least it gives you a week to nurse any injuries before district play.

Coach Henderson: Yes sir.

SMC: I don't like to rely on luck so I say Good Football To You.

Coach Henderson: Thanks. We just need to stay healthy and play hard and smart.

DIVISION 2

# 1. Highland 4-0
# 2. Borden County 4-0
# 3. Sierra Blanca 3-1
# 4. Woodson 2-3
# 5. Sanderson 2-3
# 6. Zephyr 3-2
# 7. Lefors 3-1
# 8. Sands 4-1
# 9. Blackwell 5-0
#10.Panther Creek 2-2

Let's go to the top 10 teams in Division 1 for a moment shall we?

# 1. Calvert Region 4 East
# 2. Strawn Region 3 East
# 3. Richland Springs Region 3 East
# 4. Abbott Region 4 East
# 5. Fort Davis Region 2 West
# 6. Gordon Region 3 East
# 7. Throckmorton Region 2 West
# 8. Northside Region 2 West
# 9. Milford Region 4 East
#10.Follett Region 1 West

Based on paper and not on the field, the playoffs wind up looking like this:
Follett and Fort Davis would meet in Semi finals for the West.
Calvert and Strawn would meet in the Semi-finals for the East.

The Championship game would be between Calvert and Fort Davis with
Calvert winning by 23 points. This is all on paper remember.

Strange things can happen between now and then. Some teams start district this week and others are 2 or 3 weeks away. Then the playoffs start and who knows what might happen there?

GOOD FOOTBALL TO YOU

IF I read the brackets correctly, notice that is a big IF, the playoffs will be a bit different. There are still two teams from each district that go to the playoffs however with the UIL's most recent realignment, the district numbering changed so a new set of teams will get first round byes. Here is what I am talking about.

REMEMBER based on PRESEASON picks, the first couple of rounds of the playoffs would look like this:

REGION 4
Zephyr would meet Jonesboro in Bi District with winner facing Walnut Springs in Regional

Walnut Springs would have a bye advancing to Regional

Leveretts Chapel would have a bye advancing to Regional

Paint Rock would meet Sidney in Bi District with winner taking on Leveretts Chapel in Regional.

Remember the teams named are based on preseason picks. District play has not even begun. Lots of football to be played on the field. These projections are on paper only.

PLAYERS: Go out and play hard and determine what position your team winds up in
FANS: Cheer hard and support your team.

It isn't about luck so as always GOOD FOOTBALL TO YOU.

Paducah is at Ira and an8 point underdog. Paducah has mucho speed. Ira has had a couple of disappointing losses this season and will be looking to get things ready for district.

Valley has also had some tough losses this season and will have a stout test in Meadow. Meadow is undefeated and a 1 point favorite to beat Valley. If I was picking just one Game of the Week, this would be it and I would pick Valley by 10.

Silverton host Lorenzo and is a 6 point favorite probably because they are at home. Lorenzo is winless in 4 games and Silverton is 1-3. It will be a much needed win whoever comes out on top as we approach almost the middle of the season.

Support your team by going to the game.

# 3. Richland Springs hosted # 6 Gordon. Final had Richland Springs winning 60-50. They came from behind to win after trailing 42-28 with less than 7 minutes left in the 3rd. It was a great game. Richland Springs was a 17 point favorite.

# 12 Meadow traveled to # 16 Paducah. Meadow was a 7 point favorite. They won 58-24.

We all should have gone to May to watch the Tigers host Throckmorton. Throckmorton ranked # 7 was favored by 12 points over # 13 May. Are you sitting down? Throckmorton won the game 102-100 in 5 Ots. That was a game for the ages my friends.

Division 2 had a great match up between # 2 Borden County and # 7 Rule. Borden was a 23 point favorite and won the game 56-24.

# 9 Northside faced # 51 Saint Jo. Northside was favored to win by 45. The final was 54-6 Northside. I did not think they would beat Saint Jo by 45. I was wrong.

Overall, these were good games with the exception of the last one mentioned.

Look'em up on the map.

RS comes into the contest 3-0 averaging 69 points on offense and giving up 17 points on defense. Most of us think about RS scoring lots of points over the last few years. They certainly have done that! Don't forget their defense. If you do, you're in BIG trouble. By the way, RS is currently ranked #3 in the state in Division One. Gordon happens to be the #6 team in Division One. They also have a 3-0 record. The Longhorns are scoring 72 points a game and giving up 32 points a game. My opinion is Gordon has played the tougher schedule so far. Richland will win but may have a difficult time. The official spread has RS favored by 17. This should be a great game.

Division One match up between # 12 Meadow (3-0) at #16 Paducah (2-0) also looks good on paper. Meadow scores on the average 59 points a game. They have given up an average of 7 points a game. Grady scored 20 points on Meadow while Meadow shutout their other two opponents. Paducah averages 57 points while giving up 16 points a game. Meadow is favored by 7.

Yet another great looking game pits #7 Throckmorton (3-0) against #13 May (3-0). Throck is averaging 58 points a game while giving up an average of 19. May on the other hand averages 55 points a game and gives up an average of 21. Officially, May is a 12 point underdog at home. There May be a surprise here.

A great Division 2 match up is between Borden County and Rule. #2 Borden County(2-0) will host #7 Rule (2-1). Borden County is averaging 44 points a game and gives up 6 a game. Rule is averaging 49 a game and is giving up 16 on average. Borden County is a 23 point favorite. BTW, Rule's loss was to the hands of Division One #16 Paducah. The story I hear is Paducah out quicked the Bobcats on both sides of the ball.

#9 Northside (2-0) and # 51 Saint Jo (3-0) is the last game I am hyping for WEEK THREE. Saint Jo is home and they average 49 points a game and have only given up a total of 6 points through the first three games. They have been huge under dogs according to the official spread and are undefeated. This is Saint Jo's first season in Six-Man. They are doing real well. This week's game against Northside will welcome them to the real world of Six-Man. Northside averages 68 points a game and gives up an average of 42. Northside has moved up from Division 2 to Division 1. They are physical.
The official spread has Saint Jo a 45 point dog against the Indians. I am not picking an upset here but I don't believe the Indians will 45 Saint Jo.

To the best of my knowledge, all of these games are Friday night at 7:30 PM. Enjoy!
