| 5-4A District Insider |
| Denton
Guyer looks to get 2007 off to a great start against what should be an
improved Carrollton Smith squad.
Denton hooks up with Frisco Centennial, while the third Denton ISD
school Denton Ryan matches up with Mesquite Poteet. Lake Dallas which is looking to get into
the playoffs this year will meet up with former 5-4A power Sherman. The Colony will meet up with Class 5A
Weatherford. Wichita Falls takes on
Saginaw Boswell in what should be a competitive game, the lone idle squad is
5-4A favorite Wichita Falls Rider. |

| Carrollton
Smith vs. Denton Guyer: Two teams with a lot of
experience hook up Friday night, for Newman Smith the Trojans drop to 4A and
they've got playoff aspirations. Guyer has been taking their lumps the past
two seasons but now they are poised to dish some out. The key for the Wildcats
will be the play of sophomore QB J.W. Walsh.
I'll take Newman Smith in the closest of games. |
| Frisco
Centennial vs. Denton: After a 1-9 season in 2007 who
better for the Titans to pick to beat up on than lowly Denton? QB Ryan
Mossakowski could throw for over 300 yards in this one as Denton looks to be
simply overmatched in this one. Look
for the recurring theme for Denton all season as they simply won't have the
athletes to compete and things don't look much brighter for the futuer
either. |
| Denton
Ryan at Mesquite Poteet: Early word is this might be
the best Ryan team since their first team in Class 5A, the Raiders are loaded
with good skill talent like RB Jay Catlin and WR D.J. Beshears and DB Yahshua
Williams. Poteet is expected to be
solid but this is a very difficult opener for the Pirates and I think Denton
Ryan wins by double digits. |
| Lake
Dallas at Sherman: These two teams swapped districts
as Sherman moves from 5-4A to 9-4A and Lake Dallas joins 5-4A from 9-4A. Both teams have marquee players as Sherman
has RB Waymon James and Lake Dallas features junior QB James Franklin. Sherman however has the better supporting
cast and couple that with homefield advantage and I look for the Bearcats to
get off to a good start. |
| The
Colony vs. Weatherford: The Colony thinks they've got
a shot to make the playoffs, and beating lowly Weatherford would be a great
start. The Cougars will have the best player on the field in RB Tony Peoples,
but the question will be can the Cougars slow down Chris Fielder and Weatherford's
triple option attack? I think it'll be a high scoring affair but we'll take
the Cougars. |
| Wichita
Falls vs. Saginaw Boswell: Wichita Falls on the offensive side of the ball has some
playmakers but they've got questions up front. Boswell has the athletes to really test the
Coyotes especially with LB Emeka Ekwulugo.
On offense Boswell has changed formats and will be under center some
as they'll look to pound it out with RB Donte Lipscomb and he could be the
difference. |

will be interesting to watch this year, Aledo is the favorite and should be
Division 1 barring something crazy with Springtown and Mineral Wells both
getting in which is unlikely. The two
EMSISD schools and Birdville will be the big dogs but Springtown has the
talent and system to sneak up and bite one of those bigger teams, (see
Saginaw and Boswell from 2007). |
