They have given up quite a few points in the past, so that is something you need to keep an eye on if you're a Cadet fan. In the past 2 years, they have also had some critical mistakes and costly penalties that they will have to minimize. They have a ton of potential, and I'm definitely ready to see them this Friday.
The Yoemen are coming off of back-to-back state championship. This will be a new era of Yoemen Football, as a large senior class just graduated. This squad will be very young, but will be very talented. They will be challenged in non-district, playing the likes of Connally, China Spring, & Refugio, and that should get them prepared for the toughest district in 3A DI. I would anticipate some growing pains along the way, but it will be exciting watching this team grow throughout the season. It should be another fun year.
