Predicted Order of Finish
1. Perryton
2. Borger
3. Canyon
4. Amarillo River Road
5. Dalhart
1. Perryton Rangers Starters Returning 9/7 Last Year: 8-4
Key Players: QB/DB Bo Merrell, RB Jake Waide, WR/DE Brenden Baker
Outlook: Perryton is looking to not only be the best team in the panhandle but to also try and take the step up to elite status in 3A......with 9 back on an offense that averaged nearly 600 yards per game last year they have the firepower to do it....Merrell does it all for the Rangers on the ground, in the air and on defense...Depth is the main concern as the Rangers have a number of key performers starting both ways.....injury and fatigue could play a role late in the year.......
2. Borger Bulldogs Starters Returning 7/5 Last Year: 6-5
Key Players: QB Marcus Vidrine, DE Bobby Russell, WR Austin Bales
Outlook: 2 straight playoff trips for the Bulldogs in their drop to Class 3A make Borger the biggest threat to Perryton's dominance in the Panhandle...Injuries plauged the team last year, however this year's squad should have better depth....Vidrine is the main weapon on offense, if the Dawgs can find a 2nd option they could be a team to watch.......
3. Canyon Eagles Starters Returning 5/4 Last Year: 3-7
Key Players QB Matt Lovorn, OL Cole Thurman, WR Kyle Lovorn
Outlook: Last season was a disaster for Canyon as the Eagles were decimated by injuries...however the numbers for this year's squad are better and look for a big bounce back....M. Lovorn has a big arm and is elusive enough to make plays....his brother K. Lovorn will be the #1 target in the passing game...
4. Amarillo River Road Wildcats Starters Returning 5/9 Last Year: 4-6
Key Players: WR Kobe Jackson, OL Johnathan Wyatt, LB Monnie Harris
Outlook: RR only lost 6 letterman from last year's squad...with a few breaks they'll compete for a playoff berth.....Jackson is the wildcats all-purpose threat....if Gabe Gilmore can capably step in at QB, it could be a good season...last year Gilmore was all-district at WR and DB......
5. Dalhart Wolves Starters Returning 2/2 Last Year: 6-5
Key Players: RB Andy Bean, QB Bo Brorman, DE Travis Cox
Outlook: Graduation decimated the Wolves as only 6 letterman are back from last season's squad that lost to Littlefield 21-12 in bi-district.....Bean will be the focus on offense while the young Wolves get adjusted.....
