| 4-4A District Insider |
| Abilene
Cooper the district favorite shouldn't have too much trouble with Fort Worth
Wyatt in a home game, while Big Spring could have their hands full with a
very strong 3A squad in Snyder.
Hereford will look to keep the momentum they had at the end of 2007
going as they take on Lubbock Estacado in what should be a high flying
affair. Plainview will try to erase
the bad memories of 2007 when they went 1-9 as they take on Lubbock
Monterrey. San Angelo Lake View has
quite a road trip ahead of them as they take on Del Rio, while Frenship
battles Lubbock High. |

| FW Wyatt vs. Abilene Cooper: A last minute replacement Wyatt gets to take the roadtrip
to Abilene. Cooper is releshing the
shot to be the big dog on the block in 4A & they'll be looking to make a
statement against a Wyatt squad that can match the Cougs at the skill spots,
but the Chaps lack the depth to stay with CHS. RB Marcus Turner is back to
his natural spot for WHS & the player to watch for Cooper is DB Will
Ford. |
| Big Spring vs. Snyder: A
very interesting matchup here, Snyder is coming off their second trip to the
semi-finals under HC Chad Rogers but the Tigers lost many key players. Big Spring was 3-8 last year and they
return all their key personel and they added WR/DB LaRay Woodard from
Mansfield Summit. I'm picking Snyder
in a close one but don't be surprised if the Steers pull the upset. |
| Lubbock Estacado vs. Hereford: The Matadors make their 3A debut this week against
Hereford and QB Parker Bridwell who is moving up the recruiting charts.
Estacado has their own star QB in Kyle Jackson and the Mats young skill kids
will have the speed advantage over the Herd.
I expect a lot of points in this one but Hereford is at home and they
have the edge in experience. |
| Plainview vs. Lubbock Monterrey: This could be billed the "High Plains Underachiever
Bowl," both teams didn't fare as they normally do in 2007. Monty did go
6-6 and had marginal success but that was not a typical Plainsmen team in
2008. Plainview was 1-9 however they
nearly made the playoffs, Angry Red returns the house and should be much
improved but Monty is too deep and strong. |
| San Angelo Lake View vs. Del Rio: The Chiefs for the third season in a row are taking on 5A
Del Rio and last year QB John David Baker led Lake View to a win which broke
a long losing streak. The game is in
Del Rio this year and its quite a road trip from San Angelo. The Rams will be solid, but I think Baker
and RB's Chris Blair and TaVonte WIlliams are enough to give Lake View a
season opening win. |
| Wolfforth Frenship vs. Lubbock: What a perfect confidence booster for the Tigers as a
young defense gets a chance to build some momentum against lowly Lubbock
High. Although the Westerners will be much improved they still will be unable
to stay with Frenship which has seven starters back on offense. Look for the
Tigers to roll. |

Randall is the prohibited favorite to take the crown in 3-4A, and Canyon
looks strong for one fo the small school slots. Palo Duro, Pampa and Dumas should battle it
out for the two of the three final spots in the playoffs. If Pampa and Dumas hold PD off this would
push Dumas to Division 1 despite an enrollment of under 1100 students. |
