Region I
Lubbock Monterey – 0
Denton Ryan – IIII
Advantage: Denton Ryan, four votes to non
Reasoning: Lubbock Monterey has had a surprisingly good season, but Denton Ryan is extremely talented.
Lubbock Coronado – III
Colleyville Heritage – I
Advantage: Lubbock Coronado, three votes to one
Reasoning: Out of all the Lubbock schools, Coronado has been the best. We can definitely see them winning this game.
Region II
Mansfield Lake Ridge – 0
Highland Park – IIII
Advantage: Highland Park, four votes to none
Reasoning: Highland Park just shut down Frisco Independence. We feel confident that they can slow down another powerful offense in Mansfield Lake Ridge.
Mansfield Legacy – III
Frisco Wakeland – I
Advantage: Mansfield Legacy, three votes to one
Reasoning: It feels strange that Frisco Wakeland is the last Frisco team remaining in the playoffs, but here we are regardless. Legacy has too much firepower for the Wolverines.
Region III
Cedar Park – I
Manvel – III
Advantage: Manvel, three votes to one
Reasoning: This is the hardest one to pick. Cedar Park plays great defense, but we feel like Manvel is more battle-tested.
Temple – I
Port Arthur Memorial – III
Advantage: PA Memorial, three votes to one
Reasoning: Temple survived their most recent matchup with a Pflugerville Connally team that was crushed by Cedar Park, and Memorial has been playing excellent football, outside of a loss to Vidor.
Region IIII
Richmond Foster – IIII
Eagle Pass Winn – 0
Advantage: Richmond Foster, four votes to none
Reasoning: Foster is undefeated, and has definitely been underrated coming into the playoffs. Winn has been overlooked too, but we still feel like this one goes to Foster.
Dripping Springs – III
Mission Veterans Memorial – I
Advantage: Dripping Springs, three votes to one
Reasoning: After a thrilling victory over Angleton, it’s time to talk about Dripping Springs being legit contenders.
