GHA District Overview Headed to Week 10
A quick look at the Greater Houston Area districts headed into Week 10.
Each team’s remaining schedule is listed after their current district record.
13-6A
The Woodlands (7-0) –Willis, OPEN
Willis (6-0) –The Woodlands, Oak Ridge
Oak Ridge (5-1) –Caney Creek, Willis
College Park (3-3) –New Caney, Conroe
New Caney (2-4) –College Park, Caney Creek
Conroe (2-4) –Cleveland, College Park
Grand Oaks (2-5) –OPEN, Cleveland
Caney Creek (1-5) –Oak Ridge, New Caney
Cleveland (0-6) –Conroe, Grand Oaks
Week 9: The Woodlands, Oak Ridge, Conroe and New Caney win week 9.
Tony’s take: Willis and The Woodlands face off this week. If The Woodlands wins they clinch the district title. Willis still has a matchup against Oak Ridge in Week 11. College Park and News Caney face off in a must win game for New Caney.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Willis, 2) The Woodlands, 3) Oak Ridge, 4) College Park
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 The Woodlands; D1-2 College Park; D2-1 Willis; D2-2 Oak Ridge
Note: The team to keep a close eye on is College Park. The fourth playoff spot is very much up in the air between College Park, New Caney and Conroe and may very well come down to tiebreakers.
14-6A
Westfield (5-0) –Davis, Aldine
Nimitz (4-1) –Spring, DeKaney
DeKaney (4-1) – MacArthur, Nimitz
Spring (3-2) – Nimitz, Eisenhower
Davis (2-3) – Westfield, MacArthur
Eisenhower (1-4) – Aldine, Spring
MacArthur (1-4) – DeKaney, Davis
Aldine (0-5) – Eisenhower, Westfield
Week 9: Nimitz, Westfield and DeKaney with big wins. Davis edges Eisenhower.
Tony’s take: Davis didn’t pull off a win against Nimitz so this district has solidified a bit.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Westfield, 2) DeKaney, 3) Nimitz, 4) Spring
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 Westfield; D1-2 Spring; D2-1 DeKaney; D2-2 Nimitz
Note: It would now take multiple upsets to change the playoff teams. The only thing that may change is the ordering of the D2 teams. DeKaney and Nimitz meet Week 11 and the winner will likely be the D2-1 seed and the other the D2-2 seed.
15-6A
Klein Collins (5-0) – Tomball, Klein
Tomball (4-1) – Klein Collins, Klein Cain
Tomball Memorial (4-1) – Klein Oak, Waller
Klein Cain (3-2) – Waller, Tomball
Klein Oak (2-3) – Tomball Memorial, Klein Forest
Klein Forest (1-4) – Klein, Klein Oak
Waller (1-4) – Klein Cain, Tomball Memorial
Klein (0-5) – Klein Forest, Klein Collins
Week 9: Tomball Memorial survives a scare from Klein. Collins, Tomball and Oak all win.
Tony’s take: Kelin Collins is the clear favorite to win the district. Tomball, Tomball Memorial and Klein Cain should be the remaining playoff teams.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Klein Collins, 2) Tomball Memorial, 3) Tomball, 4) Klein Cain
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 Klein Collins; D1-2 Klein Cain; D2-1 Tomball Memorial; D2-2 Tomball
Note: Klein Collins, Tomball and Tomball Memorial have clinched playoff spots. Klein Cain would clinch a playoff spot with a win over Waller this week.
16-6A
Bridgeland (5-0) – Cy Lakes, Cy Springs
Cy Falls (4-1) – Cy Park, Cy Ranch
Cy Springs (4-1) – Cy Woods, Bridgeland
Cy Ranch (3-2) – Langham, Cy Falls
Cy Woods (2-3) – Cy Springs, Cy Parks
Cy Lakes (1-4) – Bridgeland, Langham Creek
Langham Creek (1-4) – Cy Ranch, Cy Lakes
Cy Park (0-5) – Cy Falls, Cy Woods
Week 9: Bridgeland, Cy Falls, Cy Ranch and Langham Creek win.
Tony’s take: Bridgeland is the clear favorite to win the district now. Cy Springs and Bridgeland face off Week 11.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Bridgeland, 2) Cy Falls, 3) Cy Springs, 4) Cy Ranch
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 Bridgeland; D1-2 Cy Ranch; D2-1 Cy Falls; D2-2 Cy Springs
Note: Cy Ranch has already beaten Cy Woods and would have an edge in any tie-breaker against the Wildcats.
17-6A
Cy Fair (5-0) – Cy Ridge, Memorial
Memorial (5-0) – Stratford, Cy Fair
Stratford (4-1) – Memorial, Jersey Village
Jersey Village (3-2) – Northbrook, Stratford
Cy Ridge (2-3) – Cy Fair, Cy Creek
Cy Creek (1-4) – Spring Woods, Cy Ridge
Spring Woods (0-5) – Cy Creek, Northbrook
Northbrook (0-5) – Jersey Village, Spring Woods
Week 8: Memorial stuns Jersey Village. Cy Creek, Stratford and Cy Fair all win.
Tony’s take: Memorial’s win over Jersey Village is big in terms of upsets but doesn’t really affect the seeding in the district, just the order of finish.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Cy Fair, 2) Stratford, 3) Memorial, 4) Jersey Village
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 Cy Fair; D1-2 Jersey Village; D2-1 Stratford; D2-2 Memorial
Note: The Memorial/ Stratford game this week should 2nd and 3rd and D2 seeding.
18-6A
Lamar (5-0) – OPEN, Bellaire
Heights (3-1) – Sam Houston, Chavez
Bellaire (3-1) – Chavez, Lamar
Westbury (2-3) – Westside, OPEN
Sam Houston (1-3) – Heights, Westside
Westside (1-3) – Westbury, Sam Houston
Chavez (0-4) – Bellaire, Heights
Week 8: Bellaire, Lamar and Heights all win.
Tony’s take: I think the top 3 of Lamar, Heights and Bellaire are safely in. 4th place is still up in the air.
Tony’s projected finish:1) Lamar, 2) Heights, 3) Bellaire, 4) Westbury
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 Lamar; D1-2 Bellaire; D2-1 Heights; D2-Westbury
Note: Westbury vs Westside is likely to determine the 4th playoff spot. If Westbury wins you get the alignment above. If Westside wins you get Bellaire and Westside as your D1 teams and Lamar goes D2 along with Westbury. In that case it would be D1-1 Bellaire, D1-2 Westside.
19-6A
Katy (6-0) – Seven Lakes, Taylor
Taylor (5-1) – Paetow, Katy
Jordan (4-2) – Tompkins, Morton Ranch
Cinco Ranch (4-3) – OPEN, Seven Lakes
Tompkins (4-2) –Jordan, Paetow
Mayde Creek (2-5) – Morton Ranch, OPEN
Seven Lakes (1-5) – Katy, Cinco Ranch
Morton Ranch (1-5) – Mayde Creek, Jordan
Paetow (1-5) – Taylor, Tompkins
Week 9: Taylor knocks off Jordan. Katy, Tompkins and Paetow all win.
Tony’s Take: It looks like Katty, Taylor and Jordan are playoff teams. Either Tompkins or Cinco Ranch is the 4th playoff team. This would lock Katy in D1.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Katy, 2) Tompkins 3) Taylor, 4) Jordan
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 Katy: D1-2 Tompkins; D2-1 Taylor; D2-2 Jordan
Note: The Tompkins/ Jordan game this week is key. In my projections if Jordan wins then the district is 1) Katy, 2) Taylor, 3) Jordan, 4) Cinco Ranch. If Tompkins wins then the district is 1) Katy, 2) Tompkins, 3) Taylor, 4) Jordan
20-6A
Ridge Point (7-0) – Travis, OPEN
Hightower (5-1) – Clements, Austin
George Ranch (5-2) – OPEN, Elkins
Travis (4-2) – Ridge Point, Bush
Austin (3-3) – Bush, Hightower
Clements (2-4) – Hightower, Dulles
Dulles (1-5) – Elkins, Clements
Bush (1-5) – Austin, Travis
Elkins (0-6) – Dulles, George Ranch
Week 9: Ridge Point, Clements, George Ranch and Hightower win.
Tony’s Take: No changes this week.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Ridge Point, 2) Hightower, 3) George Ranch, 4) Travis
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 Ridge Point; D1-2 Travis; D2-1 Hightower, D2-2 George Ranch
Note: Travis’ prior win over Austin gives them the edge in any tiebreakers for 4th..
21-6A
North Shore (5-0) – Atascocita, Kingwood
Atascocita (5-0) – North Shore, Summer Creek
Summer Creek (4-1) – King, Atascocita
CE King (3-2) – Summer Creek, West Brook
Humble (1-4) – Kingwood, United
Kingwood (2-3) – Humble, North Shore
Beaumont United (0-5) – West Brook, Humble
West Brook (0-5) –United, King
Week 9: Atascocita needs overtime to win against C.E. King. North Shore, Kingwood and Summer Creek all win.
Tony’s Take: Two key games this week: North Shore/ Atascocita and Summer Creek/ C.E. King
Tony’s projected finish: 1) North Shore, 2) Atascocita, 3) Summer Creek 4) King
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 North Shore; D1-2 Atascocita; D2-1 Summer Creek; D2-2 King
Note: The outcome of this week’s games will not change the D1 and D2 teams just the seeding within the divisions.
22-6A
Dobie (5-0) –South Houston, OPEN
Channelview (2-2) – Pasadena, Pasadena Memorial
Deer Park (3-1) – Sam Rayburn, South Houston
Pasadena Memorial (3-2) – OPEN, Channelview
South Houston (2-2) – Dobie, Deer Park
Rayburn (0-4) – Dobie, Deer Park, Pasadena
Pasadena (0-4) – Channelview, Rayburn
Week 9: Dobie, Deer Park and Pasadena Memorial win.
Tony’s Take: I think the four playoff teams will be Dobie, Deer Park, Pasadena Memorial and Channelview with the only thing to be determined being the order of finish between Pasadena Memorial and Channelview when they play Week 11.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Dobie, 2) Deer Park, 3) Pasadena Memorial, 4) Channelview
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 Dobie; D1-2 Deer Park; D2-1 Pasadena Memorial; D2-2 Channelview
Note: If Channelview beats Memorial Week 11 the D2 seedings would flip.
23-6A
Dawson (4-1) – Elsik, Alvin
Pearland (4-1) – Strake Jesuit, Hastings
Shadow Creek (4-1) –Taylor, Strake Jesuit
Strake Jesuit (3-2) – Pearland, Shadow Creek
Alief Taylor (2-3) – Shadow Creek, Elsik
Alief Elsik (2-3) – Dawson, Taylor
Alief Hastings (1-4) – Alvin, Pearland
Alvin (0-5) – Hastings, Dawson
Week 9: Shadow Creek bests Dawson in double overtime. Pearland, Jesuit and Elsik win.
Tony’s Take: This now looks like a 3-way tie for the district title. Dawson appears to have the point spread advantage.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Dawson, 2) Pearland, 3) Shadow Creek, 4) Alief Taylor
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 Pearland; D1-2 Alief Taylor; D2-1 Dawson; D2-2 Shadow Creek
Note: Alief Taylor has already beaten Jesuit and would hold the tie-breaker.
24-6A
Dickinson (4-0) – Clear Creek, Clear Brook
Clear Creek (3-1) – Dickinson, Clear Falls
Clear Falls (3-1) – Clear Lake, Clear Creek
Clear Springs (3-2) – Clear Brook, OPEN
Clear Brook (2-2) – Clear Springs, Dickinson
Clear Lake (0-4) – Clear Falls, Brazoswood
Brazoswood (0-5) – OPEN, Clear Lake
Week 9: Clear Falls, Clear Springs and Dickinson all won.
Tony’s take: I am very confident in Dickinson, Clear Falls and Clear Springs as the top three teams.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Dickinson, 2) Clear Falls, 3) Clear Springs, 4) Clear Creek
Tony’s projected seedings: D1-1 Dickinson; D1-2 Clear Springs; D2-1 Clear Falls, D2-2 Clear Creek
Note: I still like Clear Creek for the 4th spot.
8-5AD1
Port Arthur Memorial (6-0) – Barbers HillHill, Kingwood Park
La Porte (6-1) – Crosby, OPEN
Barbers Hill (5-1) – Port Arthur Memorial, Porter
New Caney Porter (4-2) – Lee, Barbers Hill
Kingwood Park (4-3) – OPEN, Port Arthur Memorial
Baytown Lee (2-4) – Porter, Sterling
Crosby (1-5) – La Porte, Goose Creek Memorial
Baytown Sterling (0-6) – Goose Creek Memorial, Lee
Goose Creek Memorial (0-6) – Sterling, Crosby
Week 9: Port Arthur Memorial, Barbers Hill, Porter and La Porte were winners.
Tony’s take:The top three are all but set with the order to be determined. Port Arthur Memorial and Barbers Hill play this week. A PAM win sets the order as PAM, LA Porte, Barbers Hill. A BH win creates a three-way tie.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Port Arthur Memorial, 2) La Porte, 3) Barbers Hill, 4) Porter
Note: 4th is still up for grabs. A Porter win over Baytown Lee this week would all but clinch a playoff spot for the Spartans. A Porter loss leaves open the possibility of a 3-way tie for 4th. Lee must win out over Porter and Sterling to stay in the chase.
9-5AD1
Galveston Ball (6-0) –Northside, Wisdom
Houston Wisdom (5-1) –Sterling, Ball
Houston Sterling (5-1) –Wisdom, Madison
Houston Madison (5-2) – OPEN, Sterling
Houston Waltrip (3-3) –Sharpstown, Austin
Houston Austin (2-4) – Milby, Waltrip
Houston Milby (2-5) – Austin, OPEN
Houston Northside (0-6) – Ball, Sharpstown
Houston Sharpstown (0-6) – Waltrip, Northside
Week 9: Ball, Austin, Wisdom, Milby and Sterling were all winners.
Tony’s take: Wisdom got the “upset” win over Madison and stays in the playoff hunt. Right now, I see this as Ball, Sterling and a 3-way tie for 3rd between Wisdom, Madison and Waltrip.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Ball, 2) Sterling, 3) Madison, 4) Waltrip
Note: Waltip would have the advantage in the tiebreaker for third. Who has the advantage for fourth depends on the exact tiebreaker procedures.
10-5AD1
Fulshear (6-0) – Manvel, Foster
Magnolia (6-1) – Foster, OPEN
Angleton (4-2) – Magnolia West, Kempner
Magnolia West (4-2) – Angleton, Friendswood
Manvel (3-3) – Fulshear, Terry
Friendswood (3-4) – OPEN, Magnolia West
Rosenberg Terry (1-5) – Kempner, Manvel
Richmond Foster (1-5) – Magnolia, Fulshear
Fort Bend Kempner (0-6) – Terry, Angleton
Week 9: Magnolia, Angleton, Fulshear and Magnolia West all win.
Tony’s take: Fulshear and Magnolia have clinched playoff spots. Fulshear would have to lose both remaining games to not win the district title and can finish no worse than 2nd. Magnolia already has wins over Angleton and Magnolia West and has clinched no worse than 2nd.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Fulshear, 2) Magnolia, 3) Angleton, 4) Magnolia West
Note: The winner of Magnolia West and Angleton this week clinches a playoff spot. Manvel and Friendswood are still mathematically alive.

Galena Park (1-4) – FB Marshall, PNG
Santa Fe (1-4) – Texas City, Willowridge
Fort Bend Willowridge (0-5) – Dayton, Santa Fe
Week 9: Texas City, Marshall, Nederland and PNG all win handily.
Tony’s take: Mid-county Madness with the district title on the line? Oh boy! The atmosphere for PNG/ Nederland is always off the charts and there is more at stake this time around.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Port Neches-Groves, 2) Texas City, 3) Fort Bend Marshall, 4) Nederland
Note:PNG has already clinched a playoff spot. Nederland and Texas City can clinch with either a win this week or a Daytona loss this week. Marshall clinches this week with a win and a Dayton loss.
10-5AD2
Montgomery Lake Creek (5-0) – OPEN, Brenham
Huntsville (3-1) – Brenham, Randle
Richmond Randle (3-1) – Rudder, Huntsville
Brenham (3-1) – Huntsville, Lake Creek
Bryan Rudder (1-3) – Randle, Montgomery
Montgomery (0-4) – Lamar Consolidated, Rudder
Lamar Consolidated (0-5) – Montgomery, OPEN
Week 9: Lake Creek edges Huntsville. Brenham and Randle win big.
Tony’s take: Lake Creek has technically clinched the district title but would do so this week while they are on their open week if Huntsville beats Brenham.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Lake Creek, 2) Randle, 3) Huntsville, 4) Brenham
Note: A Randle win over Rudder this week would set the four playoff teams as Lake Creek, Randle, Huntsville and Brenham. Lake Creek has already clinched a playoff spot. Huntsville, randle and Brenham all would clinch with either a win or a Rudder loss.
10-4AD1
Lumberton (3-0) – LCM, Livingston
Little Cypress-Mauriceville (3-0) – Lumberton, Huffman Hargrave
Livingston (1-2) – Splendora, Lumberton
Huffman Hargrave (1-2) – Vidor, LCM
Vidor (1-2) – Huffman Hargrave, Splendora
Splendora (0-3) – Livingston, Vidor
Week 9: Lumberton, LCM and Vidor win.
Tony’s take: The winner of Lumberton and LCM this week clinches the district title. The winner of the Vidor/ Huffman-Hargrave game takes a huge step to making the playoffs
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Lumberton, 2) LCM, 3) Vidor, 4) Livingston
Note: This is a small six-team district and the final spots will not be decided until the final week.
11-4AD1
Houston Yates (5-0) – Wheatley, Worthing
Houston Worthing (5-0) – Washington, Yates
Houston North Forest (3-2) – Kashmere, Wheatley
Houston Kashmere (3-2) – North Forest, Furr
Houston Furr (2-3) – Scarborough, Kashmere
Houston Wheatley (2-3) – Yates, North Forest
Houston Scarborough (0-5) – Furr, Washington
Houston Washington (0-5) – Worthing, Scarborough
Week 9: Worthing, North Forest and Yates win. Kashmere wins on a 4th quarter pick-six!
Tony’s take: Yates and Worthing have clinched playoff spots and will meet Week 11 for the district title.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Yates, 2) Worthing, 3) North Forest, 4) Furr
Note: The North Forest/ Kashmere game is a big game this week.

Bay City (3-1) –Iowa Colony, Stafford
Stafford (1-3) – El Campo, Bay City
El Campo (1-3) – Stafford, Brazosport
Navasota (2-3) – Brazosport, OPEN
Brazosport (0-4) – Navasota, El Campo
Week 9: Iowa Colony, Bay CIty and Navasota are big winners.
Tony’s take: Iowa Colony faces its two toughest district opponents over the final two weeks.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Bay City, 2) Iowa Colony, 3) Needville, 4) El Campo
Note: This could wind up in a 3-way tie for 3rd between El Campo, Bay City and Navasota. All games between these teams have already been played and the differential is already established. El Campo would appear to have the advantage in a 3-way tie.

Hamshire-Fannett (4-1) – Liberty, OPEN
Jasper (3-1) – Hardin-Jefferson, Silsbee

Liberty (1-3) – Hamshire-Fannett, Bridge City
Bridge City (1-3) – Silsbee, Liberty
Hardin-Jefferson (0-4) – Jasper, WOS
Week 9: Silsbee beats Hamshire-Fannett. Jasper wins the showdown with WOS. Bridge City over Hardin-Jefferson.
Tony’s take: Silsbee gets a big win but still faces Jasper Week 11.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Silsbee, 2) Hamshire-Fannett, 3) Jasper, 4) West Orange-Stark
Note: It would take a series of upsets for anyone other than those four to grab a playoff berth.
10-4AD2

Royal (3-1) – La Marque, Columbia

Anahuac (2-3) – OPEN, Tarkington
Tarkington (1-3) – Buna, Anahuac
Buna (1-3) –Tarkington, Hardin
Hardin (04) – East Chambers, Buna
Week 9: Buna upsets Anahuac. East Chambers and Kirbyville win as expected.
Tony’s take: Kirbyville/ Orangefield this week will likely determine the district title. Anahuac drops their 3nd straight and could now be in danger of missing the playoffs.
Tony’s projected finish: 1) Kirbyville, 2) Orangefield, 3) East Chambers, 4) Buna
Note: Buna gets their first district win but can still make the playoffs with wins over the next two weeks.
12-3AD1
Columbus (3-0) – OPEN, Hempstead
Hitchcock (2-1) – Hallettsville, OPEN
Hallettsville (1-1) – Hitchcock, Yoakum
Hempstead (0-2) – Yoakum, Columbus
Yoakum (0-2) – Hempstead, Hallettsville

Tony’s projected finish: 1) Columbus, 2) Hitchcock, 3) Hallettsville, 4) Yoakum
Note: After the big game between Columbus and HItchcock Week 8,, not much to see this week.
14-3AD2

Boling (3-1) – Tidehaven, Brazos
East Bernard (3-1) –Van Vleck, Rice
Van Vleck (3-1) – East Bernard, Tidehaven
Wallis Brazos (1-3) – Danbury, Boling
Rice Consolidated (1-4) – OPEN, East Bernard

Week 9: Tidehaven, East Bernard and Van Vleck all win.
Tony’s take: Tidehaven’s last challenge to an undefeated regular season may come this week against Boling.

Note: I think the 4 playoff teams are now pretty well settled.
