Predicted Order of Finish:
1. Gainesville
2. Pilot Point
3. Sanger
4. Whitesboro
5. Bowie
6. Pottsboro
1. Gainesville Leopards Starters Returning 3/2 Last Year: 15-0
Key Players: RB Terrius Purvey, LB Jeremy Franklin, DB Jerome Hewitt
Outlook: Like Gainesville needed to be pissed off...well with DCTF ranking them 24 after going 15-0 I'd say they are pretty mad...Purvey is an absolute stud who was unstoppable last year....GHS must replace a great QB in Brown and that is a qustion mark....Franklin and Hewitt lead a defense that must be rebuilt..but with athletes abound in Gainesville Coach Cordell's task will be a bit easier...
2. Pilot Point Bearcats Starters Returning 5/5 Last Year: 7-5
Key Players: RB Jarrail Johnson, DL Daniel Bell, DE Calvin Washington
Outlook: PP should be even stronger than the group that played Atlanta tough in the area round....Johnson is a speedy shifty back who will have to carry the load as PP could have a sophmore under center....
3. Sanger Indians Starters Returning 5/6 Last Year: 5-6
Key Players: QB Curtis Higgs, LB Josh Sterling, RB/DB Josh Clemons
Outlook: Sanger made the playoffs last year and this year's edition looks to be tougher...Higgs was the main weapon last year accounting for 24 TD's and over 2400 yards....rebuilding the D and finding a sidekick to Higgs are the early season priorities...
4. Whitesboro Bearcats Starters Returning 9/8 Last Year: 4-6
Key Players: WR Jason Achimon, LB Michael Tucker, FS Cody Ramsey
Outlook: Normally it would border on absolute blasphemy to mention playoffs and Whitesboro in the same breath....but folks it could happen and it would be a big story...considering Whitesboro has NEVER made the postseason since the school began football way back in 1936....but with nearly the whole team intact from last year's 4-6 bunch it could happen...hang on to your seats the Oct 29 game against Sanger in Whitesboro could be huge....
5. Bowie Jackrabbits Starters Returning 8/8 Last Year: 1-9
Key Players: TB Major Henderson, WR/DB Phillip Hood, DB Jordan Shaw
Outlook: BHS should be much improved as well....Henderson had 1300 yards last year but only 6 TD's..that number needs to improve for Bowie to have success in a tough district...Hood is a 2 way threat and along with Shaw combine for a solid secondary..
6. Pottsboro Cardinals Starters Returning 5/4 Last Year: 2-7
Key Players: QB/DB Chase Curry, DB Justin Hayward, RB Jordan Outlaw
Outlook: Pottsboro struggled to a 2-7 record last year and more of the same could be in store as depth is an issue for the Red Birds...
