I think Lake Travis will have a very good year but I'm not convinced that means they will win a Championship.

Maybe. I wouldn't be surprised if they do win it all, but I don't necessarily consider them the favorite either. However there are very few teams in D II that can legitimately beat them.

I dont see anyone in Region 2 that is a real world beater. Woodz and Skyline are their biggest problem. Woodz is a great match up but I think LT would torch Skyline just due to the style of their offense.

Yeah, but I don't think Lake Travis has to worry about Skyline and TWHS, cause they should be in different divisions.
I think Travis has a really good shot. I'd still favor Katy though.

I think this is one of those years where anything can happen. Lot's of loaded teams out there but some of the old guard are beginning to be surpassed by some of the younger, less established teams.

...but to answer the question more directly, I think LT will come up just a little short this year. There are a lot of loaded teams in Region One they have to get through to make it to state. I guess it depends on who winds up in D1 and D2.

Agreed, it will make a difference on who goes D2 from region 1.

If it comes to the title game it makes a difference who is coming out of R3/R4. Some teams are better suited to stop their style of play than others. Looks like Katy may go D1 and Steeles new schedule may play havoc on them in the post season.

Is Steele going D1 or D2?

Lake Travis fans? I know we have a couple now, let's here from you.
I should have included another choice or two, more like:
No
Not Likely
I'm not sure
Likely
Yes
I don't think we would have any plain "no's".

Coming from a huge LT fan.
The D1 vs DII will factor in this discussion, but it appears to be a consensus with this group that Lake Travis will play 15 or 16 games next season, for most programs that is kickin a** and taking names. but this discussion is about a program that measures success a little different, success is all about winning the last game of the season.
I only see two teams in the DI pool that may give LT trouble, Steele and SLC.
I understand Katy has had success in the past but that seems to be fading and they didn't get very far last year, what do they have coming up that would make Texas believe next year will be different??
After realignment SLC is projected to go DII
Steele will go DI
Maybe teams,
Hewitt Midway, young 2011 team, good defense

What does Lake Travis look like on defense, will they have some good size on the D-line? |

I would have to say that Katy has been plagued by injuries the last three years and have not played up to the high expectations and the Katy faithful have and for that matter, the team expects.
I think the idea of the demise of Katy being a real contender is greatly exaggerated. IMO

After realignment SLC is projected to go DII Steele will go DI Maybe teams, Hewitt Midway, young 2011 team, good defense No offense, but the LT phenomenon is only about 5 years old. A "program that measures sucess a little differently"? Good one. This is also a program that had never come anywhere near a title 6 years ago. A program that had 9 winning seasons out of 25 before this current string of titles. Their best season before Coach Dicus was 2000 when they made it to round 3. I'm sorry, that statement makes it sound like you are comparing LT to Katy or SLC which are two programs that have had a long long history of winning. When they aren't winning titles, they are scaring other teams fans at the thought of having to play them, and getting 4 or 5 rounds deep almost every time. Even Euless Trinity, who won their first title just 7 seasons ago, got pretty close at least four times before that. SLC is the 2nd biggest school in their district, so they will be Division I. So (assuming Steele were Division I) you only see Steele and SLC as the only two teams in the DI pool to give LT trouble? I realize LT is going to be really good, but what about Skyline, Trinity, Martin, Allen, North Shore, The Woodlands, Judson, on and on and on. LT would probably be favored in most of those, but the way you put it, no other team is worth worrying about. Anyway, won't LT be Division II? |
