Yep, the emergence of Round Rock, Lake Travis and Leander ISD teams in particular has really upped the level of competition in CenTex over the last 20 years, and given Westlake some real competition.
I knew one of the Westlake poors back in the day. He lived in a duplex by Barton Creek Square. Being an apartment dweller going to Crockett High I still thought of him as a rich kid, but I guess all is relative.
Cedar Park High is in the very vast growing Leander ISD. But unlike other school districts, they continue to build more high schools. It wasn't that long ago the district only had two high schools (Leander High and Cedar Park High). It now has six high schools (Glenn, Rouse, Vandergrift, and Vista Ridge in addition to the other two mentioned).
The area is still rapidly growing. I would think whether it moves to 6A depends if the voters continues to o add new high schools or not.
Pflugerville is in a similar situation, growing from two high schools not long ago (Pflugerville High and Connally High) to four currently.
Every few years when it snows here folks always act like it's a once in a lifetime event or something.
Though I will say this snow event is one of the more substantial ones I remember.
A 3 seed at best? Are you expecting the team to regress the rest of the season? They're currently ranked 4th in the nation, are 10-1, and have quality wins over UNC and Kansas.
I understand not wanting to jinx the rest of the season or whatever, but this team is legit and a 3 seed is absolutely not the best these guys can achieve.
Hook 'em!
From Wikipedia on Boom:
In announcing the move, the University of Texas noted, "Muschamp's Longhorn defense is leading the Big 12 in rushing defense (82.5 ypg/25th NCAA) and scoring defense (19.5 ppg/25th NCAA). UT ranks second nationally with four sacks per game. The Horns have held all of their Big 12 opponents below their season scoring average and limited six foes to 14 points or less."[20]
I've seen this sentiment several times now. Maybe I missed something, or have rose colored glasses but I remember Coach Boom being a bad mofo as our DC. What's the deal?
