D2-2 Nimitz
If Ike finishes fourth:
D1-1 Westfield
D1-2 DeKaney
D2-1 Nimitz

D1-2 Cy Ranch
D2-1 Cy Falls (if Cy Falls wins or Cy Springs looses)

18-6A
Clinched
Lamar
Heights
Bellaire
Win & In
Westside
Needs Help
Westbury
Westside 4th
D1-1 Bellaire
D1-2 Westside
D2-1 Lamar
D2-2 Heights
Westbury 4th
D1-1 Lamar
D1-2 Bellaire
D2-1 Heights
D2-2 Sam Houston or Westbury
Notes: Lamar, Heights and Bellaire could theoretically wind up in a 3-way tie for first. Bellaire would have to beat Lamar by the maximum spread allowed in the district to force an unbreakable 3-way tie. I am not sure how unbreakable ties are handled 18-6A. Coin flip anyone?
This scenario is unlikely so I am treating the above as if Lamar either wins or looses by less than the maximum.
If Westside beats Sam Houston this week, Westside will be 4th. If Sam Houston wins, Westbury will be 4th.
If Westside wins, Lamar is D2. If Sam Houston wins, Lamar is D1.
19-6A
Clinched
Katy
Tompkins
Taylor
Win & In
Jordan

Jordan fourth
D1-1 Katy
D1-2 Tompkins

Cinco Ranch fourth
D1-1 Tompkins
D1-2 Cinco
D2-1 Katy
D2-2 Taylor
Notes: There are 4 games this week that could change finish order but only 2 games that can impact seedings.
Katy, Tompkin and Taylor have clinched. If Cinco Ranch wins AND Jordan looses, Cinco Ranch makes the playoffs. Any other combo Jordan makes the playoffs.
If Cinco Ranch is in, Katy is D2. If Jordan is in, Katy is D1.

If Austin 4th
D1-1 Ridge Point
D1-2 George Ranch
D2-1 Hightower
D2-2 Austin

Travis would go D1. Austin would go D2.

Bellville
Win & In
Sweeny
Royal
Columbia
Needs Help
Sealy
La Marque
Most Likely
1 Bellville

Note: There are so many possible combinations here that I’m not
going to try to figure all of them out. The easy ones are Sweeny, Royal and Columbia are all in with wins. But not all of them can win as Royal and Columbia play each other. I’ve listed what I consider ost likely over, but there are certain other plausible scenarios that in Sealy and LaMarque.

New Waverly
Hemphill
Most Likely

4 Hemphill
Note: If Newton wins then the finish is as above.
If New Waverly beats Newton by less than the district maximum, then the order of finish is as above.
If New Waverly beats Newton by the district maximum, then three teams are deadlocked.
I don’t know if this then becomes a coinflip scenario.
