Did you know?
What a turnaround. One year after going 1-9, Cameron Yoe went 11-2, going three steps into the playoffs. Manor, meanwhile, dropped from 10-3 in 2003 to 4-6 in 2004.
By the numbers
10-0: Record last season for Manor's freshman team.
24: Receptions for returning Rockdale WR Casey Lane.
300: Yards rushing for returning Smithville RB Chris Heywood.
838: Yards rushing for Hutto TB Jerrick Gauthier.
Five to watch
Five players from District 19-3A who can make a big difference:
Derrick Evans, Cameron Yoe
6-4, 190 WR Sr.
All-State pick last year figures to be a major force.
D.J. Marek, Rockdale
5-11, 180 QB Sr.
Passed for 273 yards, rushed for 115.
Kevin McManus, Caldwell
6-0, 180 RB Sr.
Rushed for 270 yards last year.
Ryan Seidel, Smithville
6-1, 200 LB Sr.
Defensive stalwart led the Tigers with 100 tackles.
Tyler Supak, La Grange
5-10, 170 LB Sr.
Supak responded with 74 tackles last season.
Around the district
One of the most competitive districts in Central Texas appears to be a two-team race between Caldwell and Cameron Yoe. Both tasted playoff success last season and they return plenty of starters to make 2005 an interesting season. Caldwell ranked No. 1 in the state in scoring defense, yielding 10.8 points per game. Opponents averaged only 176 total yards per game. With eight defensive starters back, including linebacker Danny Deere (60 tackles) and defensive back Matt Ofezarzak (4 INTs), the Hornets could make a mad dash to a state championship. . . . Yoe, which figures to be in Caldwell's shadow, needs a big season from new quarterback Brian Scott, an All-District receiver last year. All-State offensive lineman Marius Zarosky (6-2, 240) anchors the Yoe offensive line. . . . Giddings will pitch the ball to RB Dominique Crawford (1,100 yards, 16 TDs). . . . Under second-year Coach Robbie Clark, Rockdale hopes to return to the playoffs behind Marek and WR Casey Lane (24 catches, 380 yards). . . . One of the most versatile players in the region is Hutto QB/FS Jeremy Kerley, who combined for 630 yards passing with 6 INTs as a defender to earn district MVP honors.
Don't know where the people are getting their information but La Grange was 2-8 last year. They beat Gonzalez and Smithville.
