District 5 3A
PLAYOFF TEAMS - Bridgeport, Vernon, Burkburnett
------------------------------------------------------
BURKBURNETT (enrollment 936)
2007 record 8-4
Returns some talent.
On offense returns QB Jason Beach (2nd team AD) and RB Jay Gould (2nd team AD). If thats not enough try 3 offensive linemen which includes 1st team AD Trent Sharp 60 300lbs, 2nd team AD center Tommy Dalke 60 215lbs and newcomer of the year Lorenzo Barnes 60 300lbs. Not a bad start to an offense.
On defense, some players on this squad play both ways. Gould is one of them and will return to play safety where he gained 1st team AD honors. Joining him in two way duty is Beach(2nd team AD) at the other safety. Dalke returns to play defensive line where he made 2nd team AD. At linebacker 62 200 lbs Derek Dowling (2nd team AD) returns.
Derek Devereaux returns to handle the kicking duties and he made 2nd team AD.
Overall this team will be tough and should make the playoffs but lack of depth deep in games will hurt them. Region 1 is loaded with talent. A Div 1 playoff win is probably out of reach as they will have to face a team the likes of China Spring, Fredricksburg, or Burnet in the second round.
District 5 will get a bye in the first round as there is not a district 6.
-----------------------------------------
BRIDGEPORT (661)
2007 record 7-4
returns 29 lettermen
7 offensive starters
7 defensive starters
Well, how many teams in Texas can claim they are returning both the offensive and defensive district MVPs of 2007. Chalk up Bridgeport.
On offense the Bulls return offensive MVP and Honorable Mention All State in Cameron Green at quarterback. He threw for 2,790 yards and 15 TDs. He also rushed for over 700 yards to be a huge duel threat. Joining him on offense is one of his favorite targets in WR Dustin Krebs (2nd team AD) who last season caught 32 passes for over 500 yards. On the line offensive lineman Erick Serafin, 275lbs (2nd team AD) also returns and will be helped out in the trenches by Stewart Price (285 lbs), Corey Henson (225 lbs) and Will Horner (255lbs) to make one of the biggest lines in 3A.
On defense the other MVP returns in Jr. Linebacker Zach Braken (60 210lbs.)(111 tackles). Braken was also chosen to the All Region Team. Other first team all district players return in defensive backs Corbin Green (6 ints) and Dustin Krebs. Green is expected to also handle the running back duties this season. Trevor Schuett (2nd team AD) also returns to make this the best secondaries in the region.
With this much talent retuning from 2007 things look good for the Bulls. A second round matchup in the playoffs with Liberty Hill or Wimberley may be a possibility.

3 offensive starters
6 defensive starters
