Predicted Order of Finish:

1. Crandall
2. Wills Point
3. Kaufman
4. Eustace
5. Kemp


1. Crandall Pirates Starters Returning 6/10 Last Year: 6-5
Key Players: DE Will Dickerson, FB Bo Morgan, DL Johnathan Williams
Outlook: Crandall brings back the house from a team that was stunned by Canton in bi-district 14-13......Dickerson leads a D that could turn out being one of the better D's in DFW.....Crandall's high powered ground game will need to find a bell cow TB to go along with a real good FB in Morgan....

2. Wills Point Tigers Starters Returning 6/6 Last Year: 7-4
Key Players: WR/DB Chris Cunnigan, RB Chris Booker, DB Ernesto Vega
Outlook: WP managed to still make the playoffs in what most considered a rebuilding year....look for pre-season 1st team all-state WR Cunnigan to put up big numbers in the spread....WP hasn't made it past bi-district since 1988 when they lost in the quarter-finals to now 5A powerhouse Southlake Carroll....

3. Kaufman Lions Starters Returning 6/5 Last Year: 5-6
Key Players: TE Matt Stovall, DL Travis Wilson, TB Josh Wren
Outlook: The Lions made the postseason last year but fell to Van in bi-district.....the Lions last won a playoff game in 2000 beating Quinlan Ford and falling to Everman in the area round.....Wilson is a pre-season all-state pick....look for Wren to be the top back he has great speed....

4. Eustace Bulldogs Starters Returning 7/7 Last Year: 2-8
Key Players: WR Robbie Russ, RB Bric Slampa, RB/LB Kody Pertillo
Outlook: The Bulldogs are 13-47 since their last playoff trip in 1997....EHS will be breaking in a new QB but he has some good skill people to work with...Pertillo also led the team in tackles last season....

5. Kemp Yellow Jackets Starters Returning 8/8 Last Year: 0-10
Key Players: QB Westley Moore, RB Chris Chesler, LB Jon Ellison
Outlook: Kemp has struggled going 6-34 the past 4 seasons...however with 16 starters back and losing only 4 seniors look for KHS to be improved....
