Week 2 of the playoffs in the books — What we saw from Chilton-Mount Enterprise, Fairfield-Yoakum, Crawford-Kenedy and more in the area around. Trib sportswriters react to all the scores and look ahead to next week, when we have at least 10 teams playing on Thanksgiving week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Who had the most impressive bi-district win? China Spring over Bellville, certainly, is an obvious one, but were there others? We've got a lot of matchups between accomplished teams in round 2, teams with 9-2 and 10-1 type records. Which game was the toughest to pick this week?  We do a lot of predicting each week. But let's try to make one BOLD prediction for round 2 — doesn't have to be a r...

Week 1 of the playoffs in the books — what did we see? La Vega just steamrolls, University is on to the second round, China Spring's huge upset, Rosebud-Lott wins its first playoff game since 2013 and more. Trib sportswriters react to all the scores and look ahead to next week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There are always lopsided matchups in bi-district, especially with 2-8 teams involved. But there are also some great matchups. Which game this week will be an absolute banger, do you think? In Class 6A and 5A, teams now get to host in the first round. Is that a good idea, or do you like having neutral-site playoff matchups? And should it expand down to 4A and below? Finally, we're going to brag on...

It's officially playoff time — what happened with University? How good was that Crawford-Rosebud-Lott game? What else did we see around Central Texas in Week 11? Trib sportswriters react to all the scores and look ahead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We've reached Week 11, the final week of the regular season. We have some games that matter, and ones that definitely don't. If you're one of those teams without a hope of making the playoffs, what are you trying to get out of this last game? Who are the hottest Centex teams, playing the best going into the postseason? Crawford vs. Rosebud-Lott is one of the most interesting games this week. Who d...

Another district title showdown is here with 8-0 Brenham, ranked No. 6 in the state, facing University at Waco ISD Stadium. Both are undefeated in district.

La Vega is shaping up to be the state-ranked team we all expected, and there's likely the district title on the line vs. rapidly improving Robinson. Can the Rockets spring an upset here, or are they good enough for it not to be much of an upset?  The Chilton Pirates are back, and they've only given up 22 points all season. Meanwhile, Bremond and Tank Scott are on the other side. Who comes out...

We've got several matchups of two 0-1 teams facing off this week. How big does it make these matchups for a bunch of teams trying to avoid starting out 0-2?

Chilton looks pretty unbeatable on both sides of the ball; is it absurd to wonder if Mart makes the playoffs? Axtell was tenacious, hard and fast as they stampeded Valley Mills. And Midway put up 66 points to get past Shoemaker. Plus we talk Thursday's really entertaining Lorena-Lampasas game, Dawson's big win over Bosqueville and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Week 2 of District 12-6A play, and Midway and Shoemaker both played 3-point games last week, though the Grey Wolves won while the Panthers fell. As they face off this week, do you expect another close one in 12-6A, and how much does Midway need this one? We're all looking forward to Bremond-Chilton in Week 9, a state-ranked clash coming up. But before we get there, can the underdog in Mart-Ch...

Four districts start play this week: Which one seems the most wide-open? Who makes the playoffs in 7-2A behind Axtell, Bosqueville, Valley Mills? Is 10-2A Bremond's to lose? Where will Midway fall in 12-6A? We have six Centex teams ranked in the DCTF rankings. But who deserves to be in the state's Top 10, but isn't? What about Gatesville or Fairfield? We've got five private-school six-man teams in...

It's been a while since one of our 6A or 5A teams made a deep playoff run — that's Midway, University, Waco High, Temple, Belton and Lake Belton. Midway was the last one to make the third round, in 2019. Is it harder to make a run in the big divisions? And do we have a team this year that could do it? The game of the week may very well be in Class 2A, as undefeated Bosqueville hosts undefeated Ros...

Let's hype up La Vega-Celina, a No. 3 vs. No. 1 clash — one of the top matchups in the state. The Pirates dominated Kennedale 41-3 in Week 1, but Celina is a different beast. What does La Vega need to do to spring the upset? And how beneficial are these kinds of tough nondistrict games in the long run? Now that we've had a moment, is there an outcome or a big stat performance from Week 1? China Sp...
