I just saw this.
Rivals is picking DeSoto over Duncanville also.
I thought about changing my pick, but I'm sticking with DeSoto.
All the indicators point to Duncanville winning though........rankings and etc

Celina (TX) vs. Sulphur Springs (TX)

What's with the half-empty stands? I thought every football game in Texas was standing room only.

The game is sold out ❤️😉
Same Ole Sulphur Springs...Can't compete with the better district teams. Been doing that since their 5A days.
(Lived in Commerce for 3-4 years so I knew Celina was gonna get me 10.)
Mater Dei vs. Santa Margarita
Wow, Gainesville really took it to Milton. Didn't see that coming. Thought it would be a much closer game.
Something ain't quite jiving with the sound in the Mater Dei stream.......😃

Gainesville supposedly stole the Grayson Blueprint and got 8 D1 Transfers.
Didn't read about that until after I made my pick...Oh wells.
Forney 28
Longview 24
Final
Figured NORTH Forney was going to be the one to give Longview fits...Not the Originals lol.

Yeah,, Longview fumbled at the Forney 4 yard line with about 2 minutes left.
Ruston scored late to beat a surprisingly tough (5-0) Ouachita Parish 21-14.
Mater Dei may lose this game...

I think Heath just upset North Forney in OT 😳

Even if I lose my 10 pick.
I hope SO much they do. Then, beat Thing 2
Santa Margarita up 7-6 with 5 minutes left.....

Santa Margarita
You are my heroesss ❤️💕❤️💕
Something is wrong with this Mater Dei team ......
I really didn't understand the 4th and 5 call....... a deep post was definitely not the correct answer for Mater Dei. That's just not very logical.......to me anyways.
I'm not sure how far I'm supposed to drop a team like Mater Dei in the Red Hot 15.
I have to punish them though
Quote from: SeaShells21 on Oct 10, 2025, 09:03 PMI think Heath just upset North Forney in OT 😳
I give up on guessing that district.
Not really happy with DeMatha either.
Struggled with Good Counsel winning 7-0.
Good Counsel is just not that strong this year. They do have a win over a Florida team, but who doesn't?

So basically we lost Freebird and MaximumHornetSting, but inherited a new cellar dweller in RedZone? Works for me.

Oak Grove, Stephenville and Madison Ridgeland don't!!!
I was thinking about something this morning.
Calpreps went 8-2
Massey went 7-3
Redzone went 6-4
Not bragging on myself, but I'm pretty good at chess and probably play over 50 10 minute games a week vs the top rated computer engines.
The games never really last that long though. I can get to the End Game lots of times, but I still get crushed badly.
I have a much better chance of winning the lottery than I do beating a top rated chess engine. It ain't happening.
These modern chess engines absolutely do not blunder one move during the match.
My point? High school football computers are human!
Next week I'm literally flipping a coin on all 10 games and not looking at anything else.
Just curious to see how well I do..

Not Happening this year!.... MD may not score on SJB this year....
With a Loss to SJB MD may find themselves around a 6 seed in the playoffs!.... Could be a 1 st round game with Sierra Canyon and a 1 at round exit for MD.... That should pretty much do it for Lara at MD.... 🤣

@TheCompPoll I am recommending Ruston vs Neville for the Pickem this week
Both of them are top 10 in Louisiana. And they both got worked hard by a Mississippi and Texas team, respectively. They both were thoroughly beaten up and down the field about the same way. Combined to be outscored 64-19. And neither OOS team they got lumped up by is in their state top 15. So it's even.
So when these two top 10 teams clash, it's anyone's game

I already have 9 games and I'm trying to decide between these 2 FL games:
Edgewater (FL) @ Dr. Phillips (FL)
West Boca Raton (FL) @ Cardinal Newman (FL)
I'm leaning towards West Boca Raton @ Cardinal Newman, but curious as to your take.

Those are good ones. I'm not sure anyone would take Dr Phillips. West Boca lost a close one to National top 35 Bergen Catholic while CN lost to a top 5 PA team and pounded by Jesuit FL 31-0. So I'm not sure who would pick CN.
I would pass on both to be honest

I'm familiar with all of the teams' resumes. That's why the games were on my radar. I'm trying to give FL some representation but doesn't look like there's too many compelling games to choose from. The other game currently on my short list is a 2nd TX game and I'm trying to avoid doubling up on two games in the same state.
I would go with Ruston vs Neville and Baton Rouge Catholic vs Baton Rouge Central.
Baton Rouge Catholic did lose to MAIS Madison Ridgeland Academy 27-26 scoring 13 in the 4th after getting thrown around the entire game.
I get that. But they are angry and Central has the horses to fight back. Should be a good one!

I would consider this game if FreeBird were still around to pick "BRC".

They should be good games but I'm just thinking from a pick em standpoint. I run the pick ems on the Florida site and don't have either game this week. But the ones I do no one here would know the teams. Lol.

I'll pick BRC.
Warren Easton vs Holy Cross is a tough choice

Ya, that's the tightrope of a National Pickem. You need somewhat competitive games but you also need teams, at least for the most part, that are also somewhat nationally relevant. When considering games I try to give precedence to the "traditional" power HSFB states but also try to throw in games of lesser-known teams in other states that might both be undefeated late in the season. I also try to avoid having the same teams over and over every week, though sometimes there just aren't a lot of good choices.
