Hi! I'm working on finding 5A Melissa TX an OOS opponent for 2024. Who would you like to see them host?

Melissa needs to worry about winning Texas games vs playing any big national power.

Well, GSB is already talking to them. That’s on their coach to not negotiate if he thinks he’s not ready. Is Creekside GA a national power?

What do they have planned for ‘25?

Why ‘25 and not ‘24?

MaxPreps has Melissa way overrated in the state of Texas IMO.

Kudos to them for seeking to play a quality OOS opponent on 8/31/24.

I agree. They’re probably in the 20-30 range

It will not be apples to apples match up with GSB involved.

The melissa coach has the right to say “no” if he thinks he’s way over his head.  These coaches need to do some homework instead of just signing on the dotted line

Because the coach has asked for a '24 game, right?  If that is filled with an OOS opponent, then they'll need one the following season and are unlikely to find a quality in-state team to play the following season ('25).

 

 

Our goal is to provide opponents the same week both years.

I don’t know, but I think it would be a good game.

This would be the speed of Jones or Rockledge. 

Please don’t find some random obscure team to get their head beat in,  and if you are hell bent on it, please don’t bring some garbage FL team just to get a contract signed.

Orange Lutheran. They should have a formidable team next season.

Melissa is 5A d2 - 4th largest class in Texas.  

[Nolebull813]

They have about 1,300 enrollment 

[Nolebull813]

Cocoa has a little under 1,000 but they can hang. That would be a good one

Cocoa has already been playing against some of the best from Florida.  see STA

Melissa just moved up from 4A and has never played against elite IMO.

Imo they won’t get a game v texas elite, not without a title first.

Cedar Grove or Creekside GA seems to be the best bet since they are willing to travel and they are probably in the same area of rankings as Melissa

I looked up their enrollment and it says 1500. Olu says 1330. Schools are similar size. Olu will be Trinity #3 or 4 next season. There is no reason to duck Olu.
