| 8-4A District Insider |
| Joshua
will take on Azle in a winnable game for the Owls to start the season, while
once again Arlington Seguin opens the season up with Burleson. In maybe the best matchup in the region
Waxahachie visits Everman. Granbury makes their return to 4A as they host
Class 5A Richland. Mansfield Legacy plays their first varsity game in school
history as they visit Keller Central.
There's also two really interesting Saturday games as Stephenville
hosts Aledo and Mansfield Timberview takes on Class 2A power Buford, Georgia
at Texas Stadium. |

| Joshua vs. Azle: Judging
from past history most would take Azle in a landslide over Joshua, but the
worm has turned some. Joshua is an
improving program while Azle has fallen on hard times. The Hornets despite being a big enrollment
school don't have much depth, while Joshua brings back RB Jon Savage and QB
Jesse Williamson who started on defense last year will step in. JHS by a
touchdown. |
| Arlington Seguin vs. Burleson: Seguin begins the
Carlos Lynn era with their annual season opener against Burleson, the Elks
who still run the Wing-T are always tough to prepare for. Seguin has some great skill kids and big
time speed but they are young and they are learning a new system. While Burleson is well schooled in what
they do so I'll go with 5A Burleson. |
| Waxahachie vs. Everman: A rivalry renewed
as when these two get together its always a barn burner. Everman has major questions up front but
they are strong on defense. Waxahachie
is similar to Everman on offense but they might not be quite as solid up
front on defense. That's the only
difference I see with these two teams so I'll take EHS by 3. |
| NRH Richland vs. Granbury: Granbury makes
their debut in the Scotty Pugh era as they battle what should be an improved
Richland squad. Richland is led by the
versatile WR Phil Gonzales and a slew of speedy WR's and DB's but they are
thin up front. Granbury will be young
as there has been a lot of roster turnover, so I expect the Rebels to take
this one. |
| Mansfield Legacy vs. Keller Central: Mansfield Legacy
makes their varisity debut this week against 5A Keller Central and WR Jarrod
Darden. The Broncos got mixed reviews
in their scrimmage last week as offensively they should be able to move the
ball but they'll struggle stopping people.
Expect Keller Central to get a test early but they'll pull away in the
second half. |
| Aledo vs. Stephenville: This
has turned into one of the best rivalries in the area and even though its not
a district contest it'll still be a war.
Aledo has been hit by the injury bug some and that may affect the
Bearcats but they are strong up front and that matchup with the Stephenville
DL will be worth the price of admission.
SHS has great skill kids back and their balance on offense will be a
difference in a close game. |
| Buford, GA vs. Mansfield Timberview: I won't even begin to lie and tell you I know anything
about Buford because I don't! (We just don't have it in the budget to make it
to Georgia for games!) However the
word from the Georgia folks is they are a powerhouse with speed, so it'll be
a good test for the Wolves and their high powered ground game. Defense wins this one and I'll be a homer
and take the Wolves. |

| The
FWISD district is always a tough loop to project especially this early in the
season. Southwest is a solid bet for one spot and they'll be Division 1.
Dunbar and Wyatt are the favorites to advance in the small school bracket. The real battle is for fourth place where
Eastern Hills should take it barring injuries. |
