Stephenville has some holes to fill and could be the best 0-5 team in the state headed into district...
Argyle
Abilene Wylie
Midlothian Heritage
Everman
Georgetown
Melissa will be tough this year......they have lots of seasoned returners and very good athletes coming back. Their program is plenty mature now.
Yesterdays are gone forever and tomorrows may never happen, but today you have the opportunity to make a difference.
Stephenville bringing back 17 of 22 starters (that's what it was after last season anyways), the majority of those on the defensive side so they should be solid.
Big holes to fill at QB and WR. There is a Junior QB who was going to be the man last year before Easton Jones' successful stem cell treatment on his elbow allowed him to return. The WR was a 6'5 great athlete who is playing for Texas State in the fall. This squad loaded with seniors. Their class was the one to watch when they were sophomores and they made a good run last year, a year earlier than everyone expected. High expectations for this bunch with big holes to fill and a tough schedule to say the least.
China Spring will surprise some folks this year. However, La Vega is La Vega and they have some crazy good skill players returning. They will be in search of a new QB and will be breaking in a new head coach.
Bringing back that many starters from a semifinal team, yeah, I imagine Stephenville will open the season somewhere near the top of the Top 10. But playing that ridiculous schedule, I wouldn't be surprised if they drop somewhere between 12-20 rolling into district, not that it means anything at all. I mean, that's gotta be one of the toughest pre-district slates that I've seen in a while — a perennial 4A power, an up-and-coming 4A power with loads of offense, two 5A DII squads and a 5A DI team. That's nasty. And then the real season begins, and there's still not much of a letdown in the schedule. But the Jackets will be battled tested, that's for sure.
Texas Forever.
Good read about what Stephenville has coming back.

It's great that baseball has had so much success; however, the state of the football and other boys' programs is certainly sad. Two of the last three football seasons have been below .500 and I don't see how they avoid another below .500 season this year; I think at best they will go 4-6.
