The Seven-on-Seven season kicks off with the Alvin Manvel State Qualifying Tournament (SQT) this weekend. Some of the state's best teams will be pushing to qualify in week one of the season.

POOL A: A&M Consolidated, Baytown Lee, Clear Creek and FB Hightower

A&M Consolidated practically invented 7 on 7 football so they are the favorites. Dick Olin's Ganders are loaded this year, sorry coach, so they will be the favorite to win this pool.

POOL B: Brenham, FB Marshall, Friendswood, Port Arthur Memorial

All four teams are frequent visitors to College Station in July so this should be a battle royal. Brenham is basically starting over but don't cry too much for them, they have a dozen D1 prospects left on the team. FB Marshall lost most everyone and their top talent is on defense especiall on the line, so they are facing an uphill battle. Friendswood has the top quarterback in the pool in Jacob Karam plus a great receiver in Matt McLaren. Port Arthur is, Port Arthur, they are loaded with talent and have plenty of smarts and skills all over the field. Give me Friendswood in this one because in a tight battle a top notch quarterback is the difference maker.

POOL C: Alvin, Alvin Manvel, Sharpstown and Stafford

Stafford lost every all-district player they had, Manvel has no senior class, while Sharpstown does not have a history of 7 on 7 success. That leaves Alvin as the favorite because they have more talent than usual.

POOL D: Channelview, Clear Lake, FB Elkins, Chavez

Interesting field with Elkins getting the talent nod but Clear Lake is close behind. Chavez and Channelview don't have a history of 7 on 7 success and don't really have the horses to be considered a favorite. Channelview is one to watch though because they have some great athletes including Jackie Hinton. Clear Lake should have the best defense while Elkins has the best overall talent plus a QB.
