I gotta say Canton gets my my vote so far.....4-0 and still winning by big margins with a potential soph All-State QB and pretty good support from both units. Time will tell....and its getting almost time for every team.

I think the only undefeated teams that still have a chance to to go 15-0 or 16-0 are Decatur and Gilmer.

My personal definition of a "Cinderella" team is a program that has not won very much in recent years, but all of a sudden has started winning and making the playoffs. The greatest example I know of was our Bridgeport Bulls team in 93'. Danny Henson took the 0-10 92' team to 11-2 in 93'( his first season with the Bulls).

Well in Football the term "Cindarella Season" means going all the way undefeated.

In 1970 when Cuero had previously been the whipping boy of everyone for years, we went to state with something like a 4-6 pre-playoff record and went on to the playoffs and the STate Finals after winning a coin toss (3 way tie I believe) and there were numerous newspapers calling us "the Cinderella team" of the year. but then again, that was 34 years ago, it probably has changed meaning by now.

That makes sense but the local media tends to classify "Cindarella Season" as maybe making it a couple rounds further than anticipated.
For region four, under the local's definition, Ingleside is a potential candidate.
If they can come up with a decent defense they might raise a few eyebrows.
