DCTF discussion No. 1
June 21, 2009I finally just flipped through Dave Campbell's "Texas Football" for the first time since it hit the newsstands, and have several topics I want to mention.
Therefore, I'll be blogging about these topics each day for the next four days.
Today I'll mention all of the rankings/superlatives that I saw from looking through it. Other topics later this week will include my thoughts on district finishes and some surprises/disagreements I saw in the magazine.
Now onto the rankings.
Graham was ranked No. 20 in 3A, while Holliday was No. 7 in 2A. Seymour was No. 5 in A, Windthorst was No. 23 in A and Throckmorton was No. 7 in Six-Man Div. I.
I am cool with all of these rankings (all were playoff teams last year except the Steers, who return nearly every player and have one of the region's best quarterbacks in Case McCoy) except for Seymour. I think the Panthers might be too high (more on that later this week).
Graham-Bridgeport was dubbed the 3A "Game to Watch" in Week 5, while Holliday-Henrietta was the 2A "Game to Watch" in Week 9. Seems like that one never disappoints.
In Class A, Week 6's "Game to Watch" is Archer City-Windthorst. I sure hope it's better this year than it was last year when the Wildcats put on a clinic.
Henrietta punter Blake Wiest earned some pub with a preseason 2A all-state selection, as did Seymour OL Nick Wiles and Archer City LB Cooper Twyford in Class A.
Archer City QB Patrick Dayton was also labeled a Class A "Money Player" by the magazine.
And McCoy was the area's lone representative in the Texas Top 300.

A clinic? Yes, both teams had injuries coming into the game. Obviously Windthorst missing thiers hurt worse. McCoy was a competitor and a difference maker for Windthorst. He didn't see the field which. Losing McCoy in the second half of the Albany game was the difference between winning and losing as Albany was able to roll their coverage to where Hise was lined up. The offense became somewhat predictable with Josh on the sideline.
