It is understandable that only Matthew328 is knowledgeable of Longview Spring Hill. Not a whole lot of history for statewide football freaks to take note of. Last year's 10-3 campaign may not be matched, but should come close. If one of the QB candidates can do just an adequate job, this year's Panther squad should be as good or better than last season's.

OFFENSIVELY; Line should be bigger and a half-notch better. Last year's RB did an excellent job gaining over 1300 yards, but this year's RB should be exciting for us all to watch. Recievers should again be good. Will be good in the kicking game.

DEFENSIVELY; Impossible to replace last year's monster DE and big DT, but will be improved at every other position. Only unanswered question is one OLB. 5 returning starters will be better. 2 junior CB's will be much better. New DE and 2 DT's will be more than adequate. Overall, 2001 Panther Defense could be even better than the 2000 version.

QB is the BIG question! May not get 2100 yards plus passing again, but with the Offensive Line, the Soph RB and the good D, Spring Hill ought to have an excellent season.

Prediction:

Winner of Spring Hill vs. Gladewater (another overlooked East Texas team) Area Championship wins again the next week then faces Commerce in the 3A-Region 2 Finals.

Commerce again too fast and too much. Regains 3A-Division 2 Title.

Forney wins D-1 Title.
