Predicting DFW Playoffs UIL/TAPPS
Nov 14, 2019
Texas high school playoffs are here, in case you haven't heard. As the UIL Bi-District and TAPPS Area rounds open up, there are 100 games to pick through, which includes the two deep-dive previews with Waxahachie Life over Palestine and Euless Trinity topping Arlington Lamar.
Through 284 games this year, my prediction record stands at 206-78 (.725) after a 40-8 (.833) record last week. In this space, we're going to pick the other 99 games on this weekend's calendar involving DFW teams. Another week like last week would put my over that 75 percent correct on the year.

DFW Coaching Carousel: 3A
Jul 29, 2019
We're inside of 40 days before the start of the 2019 high school football season. Last year led to some pretty exhilarating moments and wonderful, underdog storylines.
And just like the professional and college ranks, success - and failure - breeds the constant revolving door for Texas high school head coaches.
So we're going to look at who's new at which school per classification.
Tracking 3A
In the 3A classification, 10 more schools had to replace coaches whether due to resignations or retirements. The 2018 combined records for these schools was 41-67 - an average of 4.1 wins to 6.7 losses - and a state championship.
Bells
<p>
<strong>2018 Record:</strong> 4-7<br>
<strong>Old Coach:</strong> Scott Ponder<br>
<strong>New Coach:</strong> Dale West<br>
</p><p>
After five years and a 32-24 record, Scott Ponder moves up to the 4A ranks to take over at Center. Dale West makes the jump from 2A Collinsville after two years and a 16-7 record.
