This Sunday has been anything but a day off ... in addition to laundry and other house-assorted tasks, I've been researching the bi-district playoff matchups most of this evening. I've been keeping my girlfriend company as she works late at Beck Disastery Recovery down here on the Galveston seawall, giving me plenty of time to research while listening to Sunday Night Football on the Internet.
We'll preview all the area games coming up later this week, but in gathering notes here are a few nuggets that may or may not make it into our previews:
- Cinco Ranch went 5-1 against Alief Taylor when they were district foes from 2002-07.
- Stratford and Katy are 8-8 against each other all-time. But Stratford's last win against the Tigers was 6-3 in 1988, and the losses became progressively more lopsided until the teams were split into different districts following the 1997 season. They haven't played since.
- Katy hasn't lost a bi-district game since 1993. I'm sure Gary Joseph could recount most every detail of that loss to Booker T. Washington.
- Round Rock Stony Point, which will play Langham Creek Friday night out in CenTex, went 6-44 from 2000-05. They didn't have a winning season until going 9-3 last year; this year they're 9-1 and two-time defending 16-5A champions.
I'll find more as I go along.
Updated schedules for the football and volleyball playoffs are posted on the main page. Tune in to our podcast tomorrow as Ignacio Salazar and I recap the final weekend of the regular season. Ignacio's in for Chad, who is getting a well-deserved Monday off before going at it hard the rest of the week.
