| 7-4A District Insider |
| Arlington
Heights will take on Birdville in the first game of the Steve Hale era, while
in another 7 vs. 6 game Eastern Hills will visit Saginaw. The third of the 6-4A-74A three pack is
Western Hills taking on Springtown.
North Side takes on 3A rival Diamond Hill, while Poly takes on Dallas
Pinkston in what should be a good early test for both teams. Southwest will take on Dallas Samuell while
Trimble Tech looks to start the season off well against Dallas
Jefferson. Dunbar and Wyatt will both
visit Abilene as DHS takes on Abilene High and Wyatt takes on Abilene Cooper. |

| NRH Birdville vs. FW Arlington Heights: Birdville still has a Dorman at QB although its little
brother Chris now running the show.
He's got a better supporting cast than older brother did and if he can
be consistent and limit mistakes the Hawks will be fine. Arlington Heights is very young and they
struggled in two pre-season scrimmages.
They are a year away from being a playoff contender. BHS rolls big. |
| FW Dunbar vs. Abilene: Dunbar will be
walking into a hornet's nest on Saturday night at Shotwell Stadium. Abilene is tough to beat at home and this
is a new experience for the Wildcats.
Dunbar does have a marquee player in WR Darius White who continues to
rocket up the recruiting charts, while Abilene LB Chris Williams is a beast.
Abilene wins this one in a big way. |
| FW Eastern Hills vs. Saginaw: Both teams are
going with youth this year as they graduated strong senior classes. Saginaw has changed offenses and will be
smashmouth team behind a strong stable of backs. Speaking of RB's keep an eye
on Eastern Hills sophomore RB Roscoe Lee, if you blink he's gone. This will
come down to the wire and I've got a funny feeling EHHS eeks out a mild upset
victory. |
| FW Diamond Hill vs. FW North Side: This a battle only someone in North Fort Worth would
understand. Even though the football
played between these two is less than stellar there is no love lost. Diamond Hill normally gets the better of
the Steers but the worm turns this year, North Side is much improved and will
win two or even three games this year. |
| FW Polytechnic vs. Dallas Pinkston: We
thought Poly HC Marvin Sedberry, Jr. was the coach of the year in 7-4A and
he's looking to work even more miracles this year for the Parrots who are
very young. Pinkston is always a
dangerous offensive team and they have a difference maker in WR/DB Lazarian
Hope and I think up front the Vikings have the advantage. |
| FW Southwest vs. Dallas Samuell: Southwest seems like a team ripe for the taking right now,
the Raiders who havent lost in the regular season since Week 2 in 2006
struggled in their lone pre-season scrimmage. Samuell should be much improved
on offense and their speed at the skill spots could give Southwest all they
want. I won't pick the Spartans but it would not surprise me to see Samuell
pull the upset. |
| FW Trimble Tech vs. Dallas Jefferson: The reports from
the Thomas Jefferson scrimmage last week against Adamson didn't sound very
promising. Trimble Tech isn't getting
much run as a playoff contender but the Bulldogs should be an improve lot. I
think they will have their way with the woeful TJ Patriots who will struggle
to win a game in 2008. |
| FW Western Hills at Springtown: I think this one
will be a mismatch, Springtown could really be a player in the 6-4A race as
WR/DB Clayton Cooper is a player to watch.
Coach Turner is one of the best offensive minds around. Western Hills
is extremely young and inexperienced and winning in Springtown is tough. I'll take POJO. |
| 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. |
