District 5-2A indecisiveness
August 1, 2008Well, the other day I wrote how Olney could be the team to beat in 5-2A.
That is still possible. But after talking to a couple more coaches (Holliday, Nocona), I think it is too tough to sift through these five quality teams.
Holliday, for instance, looked beatable last year and only has five seniors on the 2008 team. But I cannot fathom counting the Eagles out.
And I thought maybe Nocona might fall short of the playoffs this year. But coach Gary McElroy seems to think they could even be better, so who knows. A quick side fact -- Nocona has about eight defensive linemen that McElroy said he can rotate in and out.
Henrietta, it seems amongst some people I have talked to, could be the favorite. Heck, I was really impressed with Seth Crumpton's emergence last year, even though he is pretty much a tailback masquerading as a QB.
And who knows about Bowie. They will be looking to prove themselves in 2A, and the have matched Holliday the past four years, so I guess we will have to wait and see.
I have an idea how I will make my vote for the TRN preseason preview, but still have to confer with three more 5-2A coaches. This district will have two sexy matchups on Friday nights, that is for sure.
Have not looked at the Texas Football Ratings website too closely either, but once I get back from New York (going to see a game at Yankee Stadium!!), I will give my thoughts on that.
