Westfield- The
Mustangs may not have all the huge names that they have grown accustomed to
having, but RB Bo Walker, TE Jon Gimm, LB Herman Mitchell, and DB Broderick
Brown should be enough firepower to take this district once again.
Klein
Forest-
The Golden Eagles always have the athletic ability of some of the best in the
state, and this year is no different. A roster loaded heavy of senior leaders
the only problem KF has is their discipline and attitude. If they can keep it in
check they can actually compete with
Westfield
for the district title with this special group of seniors.
Klein Oak- With
a magical playoff run in the rear view mirror the Panthers return a lot of that
team that has their eyes set on a much bigger prize. With so much speed on the
field on offense and the defense loaded with returning talent the Panthers
should make it back to the postseason.
Spring- Last
season was a huge letdown but it got a lot of valuable experience as the Lions
will return 16 starters and moved their star athlete Kendric McNeal to the QB
position. That maturity will help them in this tough district try to slip into
the playoffs.
Klein- If the
Beatkats end up not making it to the big dance they could be one of the best
teams in the state left out. Klein will battle it out with Spring for the last
spot and definitely has a shot at making it back as well to avenge their first
round exit last season. They have a huge line but will need the skill players to
step up to make a big run.
Tomball- New
coach has installed new system and winning ways, but unfortunately in this
district you have to have the talent base to go along with it, and Tomball just
does not have the skill players to match the speed and athletic ability of the
top teams.
Klein Collins- Collins
had their season of glory a couple of years ago, and unfortunately for Tiger
fans Mike Goodson is now at Texas A&M. They have a very good base of young
talent now but just not quite enough to move up into the playoff race with so
many great teams in this district.
