Five Texas high school football teams we got wrong in 2019

We're not always right, so which teams surpassed our expectations the most this season? Omaha Pewitt is definitely one of the teams after finishing as the 3A DII state runner-up.

For many, the start of a new year is often about reflection – reminiscing on the past 12 months of good decisions, bad ones, lessons learned and the like.

Well, we’re no different at DCTF.

We’re certainly not always right. Just ask anyone that uses our preseason magazine projections as ample bulletin board material to fuel a season worth remembering. Trust us, we've heard it every year, and perhaps contrary to common thought, we do find it fun when teams prove us wrong; it's part of the unpredictability and parity that makes Texas high school football our fun obsession.

Now that the 2019 season is completed, we though it’d be a perfect time to give some of those teams the recognition (And apology) they earned.

Here are five teams that we got wrong based on our 2019 summer preview magazine.

This isn’t to say that there are only five teams that we projected incorrectly, just the ones that stood out most prominently. We can always flush this list out even more at a later date giving proper credit to other teams.

5. Post Antelopes (15-1, 5-0)

What we said: Post would finish third in District 2-2A Division I
What they did: Won 2-2A Division I, 2A DI state runner-up


Now, before I get too far, I should mention that Matt Stepp pegged the Bold Gold as one of his sleeper teams to watch in 2A DI, so if you want someone at DCTF to laugh at, don't include him.
