Time to look at this week's playoff predictions at 5ATexasFootball.com and see what we got...
1. It still looks tough in the top part of Division I, Region III with Cinco Ranch, Eisenhower, North Shore and Hightower at the top half, while Pearland looks to come out of the bottom half. But which team could upset those teams and win the region? Well, Memorial could make a run with its tough defense and strong running game. Plus, the Mustangs will have an easy road until meeting Pearland in the regional semifinals. Also, Lamar could be a team that might be ready for a breakout run in the postseason, but will have to get past Memorial in the second round first.
In Division II, Region III, it's as wide open as it can get. Granted that Katy is the defending state champs and should always be a team no one should have any doubts about. But this is a Katy Tiger team that struggled early in the season against two really good teams like The Woodlands and North Shore, and it's still a question whether they have completely turned the corner and returned to its swagger it had last year.
One team that has the tools to knock off Katy is Beaumont West Brook. The Bruins have a very diverse offense centered around running back Christian Michel and quarterback Christian Louis. They could keep the Tiger defense on their heels and knock off the state champs.
I still think Elkins can run the table to the regional finals. The Knights look explosive enough on offense to overcome a mediocre defense, and has a favorable bracket with only Strake Jesuit as the only true test.
In Region II, Cypress Creek looks really strong, but will have to get past Klein Oak in the second round and a tough Tyler Lee team in the third round if the Cougars have any dreams of winning the region in Division II, while the winner of The Woodlands/Westfield game could be the region champ in Division I.
What say you? Got any big games or matchups you like, or am I off-base in my predictions?
