| 3-4A District Insider |
| Five
of the six teams in 3-4A are in action, highlighed by a rivalry game between
Class 5A Amarillo and Canyon Randall.
Pampa will take on Class 3A Borger in an old Class 4A district
matchup. Amarillo Palo Duro looks to
get 2008 off on the right foot in a matchu with cross-town rival Amarillo
Tascosa. In what would have been a
good 3A matchup last year Canyon back in Class 4A hooks up with Andrews. The surprise of the district in 2007 Dumas
takes on Perryton. Amarillo Caprock is the only team in the district who is
idle. |

|
| Pampa vs. Borger: On
paper this looks like a matchup of two programs on the decline, Borger once a
strong 4A program out of the panhandle has fallen on hard times since the
drop to 3A four years ago, while Pampa has really lacked the athletes they
once had as enrollment dwindles there.
Pampa's young offense should move the ball enough to get past a
depleted BHS squad. |
| Amarillo Palo Duro vs. Amarillo Tascosa: Tascosa has made a concerted effort to make some noise
this year despite being in a brutal loop, with lots of experience back, the
Rebels should get off to a good start this week. PD is young and athletic and
I expect big improvement but THS is better in every area, save for
speed. Take the Rebels in this battle
of Amarillo. |
| Andrews vs. Canyon: New
HC Jeff Cordell makes his debut in Andrews and the Mustangs are very young,
and they'll have their hands more than full with Canyon and QB Spencer
Church. Canyon's offensive experience will be too much for AHS to overcome in
what is a rematch of the 2006 Class 3A Area Playoffs a game that was won by
Canyon. |
| Canyon Randall vs. Amarillo: This is known as the Battle of Bell Street in Amarillo and
last year Randall made a statement by beating the Sandies for the first time
ever. Now the roles are reversed as
the Raiders come in as the prohibited favorites as nearly every key player is
back from a 9-2 squad. AHS as always played a ton of seniors early and they
are a relative unknown. The edge goes
to Randall. |
| Dumas vs. Perryton: Dumas
will have to learn early that it is a lot different being the hunted instead
of the hunter. After sneaking up on teams last year the Demons will get
everyone's best on a weekly basis. Although DHS is still high powered on
offense questions are abound on defense. Perryton won't have the athletes to
expose the weaknesses but the Rangers are a tough out and at home they are
especially dangerous. |

Cooper & Wolfforth Frenship are the two teams to watch in 4-4A but both
will be Div. 1, the real battle in that loop will be for the two spots in
Div. 2. Hereford is a solid bet for
one spot but can Big Spring hold off Plainview for the final slot? Don't
count Lake View out either! |
