Texas 4A & 5A Report Card Along With 3rd Round Predictions

The 2nd Round of Texas playoff predictions continues to be a challenge. 

In 4A I picked 20 winners out of 32.  Defending State and national Champion Houston Yates are now on the sidelines as LaMarque turned the tables and hung a hundred on the Lions. Texas Commit Julien Lewis really turned it on dropping 35 in the win.

I picked up the pace in 5A with 24 out of 32 selections being on the money.   A total of 44 out of 64 games.  Together with the 1st Round (86-128) I am now a combined 130-192.  A total of 68%.

Here are my 3rd Round Predictions:

4A

Region 1
Denton Ryan                 Fort Worth Southwest   Amarillo Palo Duro            Waco Midway
Region 2
Dallas Lincoln               Tyler John Tyler            Dallas Kimball                    Bastrop
Region 3
Humble                          Galveston Ball               Kingwood Park                   LaMarque
Region 4
Alamo Heights              Victoria East                  New Braunfels Canyon      S.A. Brackenridge

5A

Region 1
North Crowley                      Lewisville                  Arlington Bowie                Cedar Hill
Region 2
Killeen Harker Heights       Pflugerville                Killeen Ellison                  Spring Dekaney
Region 3
Alief Elsik                            Fort Bend Elkins       Alief Hastings                   Clear Springs
Region 4
San Antonio Reagan           Harlingen                  San Antonio Clark             Laredo United

I've gone out on a limb and believe that Flower Mound Marcus, Desoto & Lakeview Centennial will all lose to lower ranked opponents.  I like the Lewisville guards, I like Harker Heights depth & I believe that Killeen Ellison is peaking and has the pieces to pull the upset.
