of Texas R emembering S am 1936 – 2016 Sam was born January 24, 1936 in Petersburg, Texas and attended Petersburg High School. Sam then travelled to Eastern New Mexico University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in 1959. During the four years Sam attended school at ENMU, he not only lettered but became team captain and an All-Conference Center. He also was the Student Council President and a member of both the rodeo and track teams. His tremendous love besides God, family and friends was always sports, and he enjoyed all the teams as well as the coaches. Sam’s coaching experience was always as the Athletic Director/Head Coach, and he coached at Three Way, Happy, O’Donnell and New Deal High School’s. Sam’s overall coaching record stands at 96-39-2, and as a Head Track Coach his teams won 9 District Championships out of 11 years. After his coaching career, he worked 42 years in the football equipment business for Riddle All America, retiring in 2015. In 1967, Sam Mayo and Bill Harle started the Top O’ Texas Football Magazine to promote the West Texas, Panhandle area athletes. What started as just an area magazine devoted to football has now expanded to the publication it is today. Sam had after 13 years of coaching, the opportunity to work with others, never forgetting his love of his favorite people, coaches and mentors, as a Riddel All American representative. Those left behind to cherish his memory are his wife Peggy, daughter Debra Montgomery, son Ron and wife Kristi Mayo, daughter Melissa and husband Billy Morrow,

They stand tall, stoic. Day after day they absorb whatever punishment is bestowed upon them. The sun beats down on their skin. And often the wind pushes at them. At least in this part of the world. Rain, sleet, hail, ice-storms and blowing grit attack them, but still they stand upright and tall in nearly every town. I am of course talking about the famed Friday Night Lights that give this state a huge part of its identity. They are inanimate objects forgotten for most of the year. Yet, they loom large in communities all over from Texline down to Terlingua and over Tyler way. Whether they tower above small aluminum bleachers or huge stadiums built and carved into the landscape they shine down upon our pride, our joy, or hope and our fear. No one wants to lose to their crosstown town rival or that neighboring town. Friday Night Lights. We flock to them. We
all feel the power and allure of them. If you are holding this thick magazine in your hands you can bet they mean something to you. But how many of us ever pause, and stop to think what it takes to turn those lights on? No, I am not talking about the dude that literally throws the switch prior to game time. I am talking about what gives these lights the magic that draws crowds, inspires books, and creates movies. True magic not the slight of hand smoke and mirrors of a stage act, but wonder and awe. It’s what dreams are made of. Maybe it begins on the couch. Father and son watching a Cowboys game. Or on those family trips to Lubbock or College Station all those crisp fall days. Maybe it is a game of catch in the backyard with a brother, a cousin, or that kid down the street. The where is as varied as the colors and mascots of the various teams that 16
school, the teachers, the coaches that will take these young men and push and shape and mold them into football players worthy of stepping beneath those lights. It takes car washes, camaraderie, booster clubs and cheerleaders both before and during the game to rouse spirit in fans and towns. It takes the love of family, friends, the pride of towns and alumni. It takes refs driving two maybe three hours to do a thankless job. It takes coaches, both the head man and his assistants, missing valuable times with their own family to best prepare their adopted sons for Friday night. It takes parents making long drives across the sparse Texas landscape. Drives that begin in the years before the bright lights come on. Drives when they are 7th, 8th graders. Freshman and JV. Yes, it takes a long time before the lights shine bright. It takes sweat, tears, money, and motivation. It takes love, pride and hope to turn those lights on. So this fall when you look up and you see those swirling moths and flying insects do not think of them as bugs flocking to a light -- think of them as God’s smallest creatures gathering in the glow of a true spectacle, that only those who have fought so hard and so long to illuminate. Think of how special those Friday Night Lights really are.
line up to play each Friday night, but there is one common thread … it begins with a love of the game. The sound of a crowd, the feel of the leather, the rush of competition. But that is not enough to turn on the lights. It is hours of overtime or the sacrifice of one less meal out that young families and single parents scrimp to sign their boys up for youth football. Maybe the kid themselves sells candy bars to family, friends, and neighbors. Or maybe it is not youth football, but soccer or baseball or wrestling or track that first captures a young boys heart and feeds the flame. That conjures
those competitive juices and builds coordination and makes a kid say I want to shine on the brightest stage out there. I want to stand beneath those Friday Night Lights. But still it is not enough to turn on those lights. The sacrifices of parents and caregivers from money, to time volunteering as coaches, to shuttling their young athletes to and from practice. The hard work of the kids themselves. That is all part of the magic, but it is not the whole story. It takes communities and taxpayers of hardworking men and women to fund the 17

Close to two dozen Top-O-Texas coverage area teams advanced to at least the quarterfinal round of the 2015 Texas high school state football playoffs. Of those, five – Idalou, Seagraves, Borden County, Buena Vista and Guthrie – advanced to the semifinals before being ousted. Three of them – Albany, Crowell and Follett – made it all the way to the finals and claimed state runner-up titles. But only one team – Canadian – went all the way… again. The Wildcats claimed their second straight undefeated Class 2A, Division I state championship and, once more, carried the banner for the Top-OTexas region. Coach Chris Koetting and the Canadian Wildcats put the wraps on their second consecutive perfect season (16-0 after going 15-0 in 2014) by rolling past Refugio in the championship game, (6120). “This team did things the right way all year long. The way they prepared. The way they played. They did everything right,” Koetting said. The Wildcats were dominant throughout the season. Their closest playoff game was a (31-0) victory over Stratford in

Texas Tech Red Raiders — Big 12 South
Raiders Defense In 2015, it was not known who would be the starting quarterback for Texas Tech University until Sept. 5, the first game of the season in Lubbock against Sam Houston State. That is when Patrick Mahomes II trotted onto the field and threw for 425 yards and 4 touchdowns in a 59-45 victory over the Bearkats, and he never looked back. Mahomes spearheaded a Red Raiders’ offensive attack that led the nation in scoring, passing and total yards. It averaged 45 points, 388 passing yards and 580 total yards per game. Entering his junior season, the sky is the limit for what Mahomes and the offense can do in 2016, but

Sophomore Dakota Allen was dismissed from the team over the offseason due to an off-the-field issue. Allen totaled 87 tackles and 2 interceptions last season. It will also being missing graduate LaDarrin Robertson on the defensive line. But two newcomers to keep an eye on are redshirt freshman Broderick Washington, a (6-3, 305) defensive lineman, and Ondre Pipkins, a (6-3, 325) senior defensive lineman who transferred from the University of Michigan. Offensively, the Red Raiders will have to replace

there is one major problem – the defense. Texas Tech will likely never have a top-notch defensive unit, but it can at least be serviceable. That definitely was not the case a year ago. It finished second to last in the FBS in total defense, and it allowed an eye-popping 43.6 points per game. That is the main reason the team went (7-6) overall. If they are to take advantage of their “guns-ablazing” offense and improve on last season’s sevenwin mark, the Red Raiders’ defense must be better – period. The good news is it cannot get much worse. They will have (6-3, 295) defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko returning as an anchor up front. Fehoko earned All-Big 12 Honorable Mention in 2015 after registering 19 total tackles – 4 for a loss, 1 sack and 1 interception as a freshman. Another all-conference honorable mention returning is (5-10, 180) sophomore safety Jah’Shawn Johnson. He collected 85 total tackles a year ago with 2 interceptions, 4 fumbles recovered, 2 fumbles

its top two hog-mollies, however, while also trying to revert back to its strong 2014 campaign, when it allowed just 13 sacks. On special teams, they will have to replace Grant as the return specialist. But all-conference honorable mention Clayton Hatfield, a sophomore, returns as the team’s place kicker, as does sophomore punter Michael Barden. Overall, Texas Tech is prone to do some serious damage. After all, it won seven games a year ago with an absolutely atrocious defense. If it improves in that area – a big “if” – it could be looking at a nine-win season.
367 yards and 5 touchdowns, and he also caught 22 passes out of the backfield for 341 yards and 6 TDs. (5-7, 215) tailback Quinton White should also see a larger role in the offense. Despite missing leading-receiver Grant out wide, Texas Tech’s offense is designed to distribute the ball to a litany of receivers. Returning to catch passes from Mahomes will be seniors Devin Lauderdale (5-10, 176) and Reginald Davis (6, 185); juniors Ja’Deion High (5-11, 175), Ian Sadler (5-11, 195) and Cameron Batson (5-9, 175); and sophomores Keke Coutee (5-11, 175), Jonathan Giles (5-11, 185) and Tony Brown (6-1, 195).

Wayland Baptist Pioneers — Central States Football League
Pioneers Primed For Conference Title It’s been five years since Wayland Baptist University began playing football again after a 72-year layoff, and the Pioneers continue to make inroads into molding a solid, consistent, successful program. The Pioneers won four games last year, their most since the program was restarted in 2012. But head coach Butch Henderson wants more. “We didn’t accomplish what we set out to do. I really thought we could win the conference championship, and we didn’t get that done,” Henderson said in reviewing the 2015 season which featured a 4-6 record, including 2-4 in the NAIA’s Central States Football League. For 2016, almost all of Wayland’s offensive starters return, as do about half the defensive regulars. That returning talent should give the Pioneers ample ammunition to battle for the conference title. However, just as important as experience in Henderson’s book is having the proper mental game. “We didn’t play anybody that was better conditioned than we were. We didn’t play anybody that was any stronger than we were. We just made some mistakes. It’s a mentality thing you have to deal with. If you’re expecting to win and not expecting something bad to happen, you’re going to do that. I think it’s kind of like life. It’s an expectation that good things are going to happen. We worked really hard through the offseason on the mentality of expecting good things to happen, making things happen, making plays at key times when you need to.” One of the best in the country at making plays the past couple of years has been senior Alden Mann. The outside linebacker was named Wayland’s first all-American in the new era last season when the 5-foot-10, 200-pounder from Wimberley finished third in the NAIA in tackles per game (13.8) and, in nine games, broke the school record with 124 tackles (57 solo). He also logged 19 tackles for loss, 7 sacks and 2 interceptions, along with forcing 2 fumbles and recovering one. “He’s a model of what you want college athletes to be,” Henderson said. “He plays hard. He’s tough. He’s a tremendous worker. He’s tremendous in the offseason. He’s a 4.0 student. He just has that sense of how to get to the football. It’s uncanny. He does a great job in pass coverage in addition to playing the run.” Joining Mann as experienced hands on defense is an intact secondary featuring cornerbacks Josh Paul (5-10, 180, Sr.) and James Battley III (5-11, 170, Jr.), who intercepted three passes each last season, and Brandon Sheppard (5-9, 180, Sr.), along with junior safeties Michael Nealy (6-0, 185)

and Travis White (5-11, 175), a medical redshirt last year after starting in 2014. Junior college transfer Brian Johnson could push for playing time. Dontay Raglin (6-1, 195, Sr.) returns at outside linebacker opposite Mann, while taking over in the middle is junior college transfer Weston McIntire. Grant Savage (6-1, 175, Sr.), who started at strong safety last year, also could see time at outside linebacker. The only veteran up front is tackle Denzel Bradford (6-2, 314, Jr.), so shoring up the line will be a priority. With starting experience at every position, Wayland’s no-huddle, shotgun-exclusive offense will have the potential to race up and down the field in 2016. At the controls will be shifty senior quarterback Payson Bain (5-11, 180) of Vega, who in 2015 led the CSFL in passing yards per game (201.8) and touchdown passes (19) while throwing for 1,816 yards. The Pioneers have three proven receivers, all with serious speed. They include Trey Rowe (5-10, 182, Sr.), who led the CSFL with an average of 21.5 yards per catch last year while retrieving 30 balls for 644 yards and a
24
team-best 7 touchdowns. Also on the outside will be Devonte Hayden (6-0, 175, Jr., Garland), who caught 19 passes for 352 yards and 3 TDs, while returning at inside receiver is Preston Woodard (5-9, 180, Jr.), who snared a team-high 32 passes for 614 yards (19.2 average) and 5 TDs. A fourth receiver is Malik Sims (5-9, 165, So.), while Keyshawn Hawkins (6-2, 230, Jr.) lines up at tight end. The offensive line is filled with veterans and anchored by senior Jacob King (6-2, 285), a four-year starter at right guard. Next to him at right tackle will be another Plainview High product in Eric Lunsford (6-3, 290, So.). Kyle Rickman (6-3, 270, So.) also will fill in at right tackle. Left guard will be senior Brandon Grant (6-2, 305), who sat out last season with an injury after earning all-conference honors two years ago. Next to him at tackle will be senior Terry Fields (6-5, 282). The center is Keaton Vawter (6-4, 280, So.). Henderson said starting the season at running back will be Jarrell Peterson (5-8, 165, Fr.), who redshirted last year. Wayland’s kicking game is in excellent shape with the return of junior Daniel Martinez (5-9, 160). Last year, the left-footed Martinez made 13-of-17 field goals, including from 54 and 52 yards, and twice was named NAIA National Special Teams Player of the Week. Also returning is sophomore punter Caleb O’Connor (6-3, 210). After opening the season Aug. 25 in Arkansas against Lyon College, Wayland plays six of its remaining nine games at home, including three in a row against Sul Ross State, Howard Payne and Webber International (Fla.). CSFL play begins Oct. 8 in Muskogee, Okla., against Bacone, then the Pioneers host Southwestern Assemblies of God, go to Texas College and host Lyon in a rematch of the season-opener. Wayland then travels to Phoenix to

— District 1-6A
High-powered Troopers a serious threat in Class 6A
El Paso Eastwood head coach Julio Lopez began his career at the helm of the Troopers in 2015 with a bang. Eastwood went 9-3 overall, 4-2 in District 1-6A and reached the area round of the playoffs, where they were outlasted by Arlington Lamar 42-35. “Great team that really turned around the program here at Eastwood and did a lot of great things that had never been done before,” Lopez said. “We beat El Dorado and Franklin for the first time in school history, beat an out-of-town team in the playoffs for the first time in school history (in Wolfforth Frenship), (won our) first bi-district title since 1999, and had our first (9-win) season since 1994.” Last year’s success doesn’t appear to be a flash in the pan either. The Troopers have lost thirty lettermen to graduation, but they have plenty of talent moving up, as their junior varsity team went 10-0 a season ago, and their freshman squad went 8-2. “Although we lost some great playmakers and a big group of seniors that did a lot of great things here at Eastwood to turn the program around, we return six starters on offense and seven on defense,” Lopez said. “This core group of guys returning sets up a team that could be really dangerous come the fall. They are a hardworking, blue-collar group that is hungry after experiencing the success we had last year. “I believe this could be a year where we exceed all expectations and have a season that won’t be forgotten anytime soon in El Paso.” The Blue and Gold had a high-octane offense that racked up almost 7,000 total yards of offense in 2015, and while they are hopeful for positive results from fill-ins at certain skill positions, they appear to be in good hands at the quarterback position with new starter Seth Ochoa (6, 190). Ochoa is a standout underclassman who has already committed to play baseball at Texas å University. While Eastwood will also be hoping one or two new players step up at running back, they do have a big pass catcher in wide receiver/tight end Ryan Barnhouse (6-4, 220). Last season,

Barnhouse tallied 29 receptions for 347 yards and 2 touchdowns. Pete Cadena is another wideout to keep tabs on, and the Troopers have three outstanding offensive linemen in Noah Garcia (6, 265), David Ash (6-3, 290) and Joseph Salas. In its 3-4 defensive scheme, defensive lineman Chase Warden (5-11, 260) was a wrecking ball a season ago. Warden amassed 90 tackles, 13 of which went for a loss, and 5 sacks. Freddy Gomez, who registered 59 tackles, is another D-lineman to keep tabs on. Linebacker Tristian Cruz (5-10, 210) was a tackling machine in 2015, when he racked up 111 tackles while recording 2 sacks, 1 interception and 1 defensive touchdown. Fellow linebacker Joseph Davalos (5-10, 225) had 98 tackles – 8 for a loss – and 3 sacks of his own. The Troopers begin the season at home against Midland Christian on Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. Their first league ballgame will be a road tilt at El Paso El Dorado on Sept. 22 at 6:30 p.m., and the final regular-season game on their slate will be a home game against El Paso Montwood on Nov. 4 at 7 p.m.

El Paso El Dorado Aztecs — District 1-6A
Aztecs
vying to get over hump
El Paso El Dorado has been right there each of the past five years. The Aztecs have gone 34-21 and reached the playoffs each season, but they have not been able to get themselves past the second round, and they have only extended their seasons beyond the bi-district round once in that span. New head coach Ruben Torres III certainly hopes to get El Dorado to reach their potential and take the team further than it has gone before. “Very excited about the buy and potential of this group,” Torres said. “The senior class and junior class are very talented and explosive. They are extremely cerebral and hungry to make a deep playoff run.” The Aztecs’ offense certainly was explosive in 2015, when they totaled 6,122 yards. Leading the charge in 2016 will be junior quarterback Cedarious Barfield, who completed 20 of 37 passes for 381 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception last year, and he also ran for 510 yards on 58 attempts with 8 TDs. “Cedarious Barfield is a dual-threat QB who will have a number of weapons around him,” Torres said. Two of those weapons are wide receivers Jorge Hernandez and senior Tyquez Hampton (6-2, 215). Hernandez caught 34 passes for 873 yards and 8 touchdowns a season ago, and Hampton had 25 receptions for 873 yards and 6 TDs. Demijah Birdsong is El Dorado’s top returning running back. Birdsong rushed 25 times for 259 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2015. Two standout offensive linemen looking to keep their quarterback clean and open up lanes in the running game are David Dominguez and Josh Rey. The Aztecs should be quick on defense, according to Torres, and they will be led by linebacker Kevin Henderson (5-10, 220). Henderson recorded 77 tackles 11 for a loss 2 sacks, 2 fumbles, 1 interception and 1 defensive TD last season. Willie Croslen is another standout linebacker for El Dorado. He had 60 tackles, 5 for a loss and 1 fumble in 2015. Junior defensive back Davion Kinsey (5-11, 181) possesses the ability to stop drives in a hurry, as he picked off 2 passes a year ago while registering 9 tackles and 1 fumble. Another defensive back to keep tabs on will be Sal Avila, who also had 2 interceptions and 1 fumble. Jonathan Zarate causes a lot of problems for opposing offensive lineman in the trenches of the Aztecs’ 4-2-5 scheme. He collected 38 tackles last season, 8 of which went for a loss, while also tallying 4 sacks

El Paso Franklin Cougars — District 1-6A
Young Cougars Reload Instead After a stout 2014 campaign that saw El Paso Franklin go 9-2 overall, the Cougars came back down to Earth in 2015, as they went 4-6 (3-3 District 1-6A) and just missed out on a postseason berth. Unfortunately, the Black, Purple and Silver have lost 30 lettermen to graduation and will be returning only 18. But they are bringing back five starters on defense, and one of their biggest strengths, according to head coach Daren Walker, is their linebacker corps. The lead linebacker in Franklin’s 4-4 defensive scheme is junior Kaleb Gutierrez (5-11). Last year, Gutierrez registered 53 tackles, 2 fumbles and 1 interception. Another linebacker to keep tabs on will be senior Eduardo Estevez. Estevez tallied 49 tackles and 3.5 sacks a season ago. Two promising defensive linemen are Sheldyn Guziec and Carlo Spalloni. Guziec collected 27 tackles, 1 sack and 1 fumble in 2015, and Spalloni had 18 tackles and 1 sack. In the secondary, Marc Feste and senior Luis Baca (6-2) are the top two returning defensive backs. A year ago, Feste recorded 51 tackles, 1 fumble and 1 interception, and Baca had 15 tackles and 1 fumble. On offense, senior quarterback Kaleb Hatch will lead the Cougars’ one-back spread scheme. In limited action last season, Hatch completed 25 of 49 passes for 452 yards, 4 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, and he also rushed 14 times for 27 yards and 1 TD. Junior Seth Dominguez (5-10) will be the lead running back, where he rushed 56 times for 189 yards and 1 touchdown last year. Baca is the team’s top returning receiver. He caught 15 passes for 424 yards and 6 TDs a season ago, and senior Eric Phillips had 19 receptions for 197 yards and 1 touchdown. Anchoring the offensive line will be senior center Cutter Leftwich (6-1, 270). Franklin is scheduled to begin the 2016 season at Midland on Aug. 25 at 7 p.m. It will play its first league game at El Paso Eastwood on Sept. 30 at 7 p.m., and its final regular-season tilt will be an away game, as well, at El Paso Americas on Nov. 04 at 7 p.m.

Pebble Hills Spartans — District 1-6A
Pebble Hills
the new kid on the block
A brand new team will be taking the field out El Paso way in 2016: the Pebble Hills Spartans. Mark A. Torres is excited about the prospects for his young program and about his first season as a head coach. “Our team is obviously young. With a junior and sophomore first-year varsity squad, there are many challenges ahead. We hope that with the off-season we have created an environment of competition, which should give us an opportunity in each contest,” said Shaw. Pebble Hills actually competed last season at the freshman and junior varsity levels in District 6-1A, finishing in the middle of the pack with both programs. “There is no baseline set for us this season,” Torres, a UTEP graduate, said. “Everything is all new. We hope to create standards and set the bar high here at Pebble Hills.” The Spartans will employ a one-back spread offense and a 3-4 defense. Playing key roles will be juniors Justin Wolfe at receiver, Kevin Avarette at running back, and Jacob Hernandez at strong safety. Torres called Wolfe (6-3, 180, 4.7) “a big target and an aggressive blocker” while he noted that Avarette (6-0, 175, 4.6) “has no ceiling. Experience will only help him as the season progresses.” Hernandez “is the leader of the defense. He’s aggressive to the ball and well-versed in coverages. Closing speed is a strength.” Others charged with leading the Spartans are juniors Ivan Ibarra (6-0, 255, 5.5) and Dietrich King (5-11, 270, 5.5) on the offensive line, and halfback Cam Seabrook (6-0, 160, 4.6). Ibarra possesses “good feet,“ Torres said, and King “is a finisher, has a good frame and will anchor the offensive front,” while Seabrook “is explosive with the ball in his hands. He has the potential to be a difference-maker.” Offensive lineman Anthony Miranda also shows promise as he “continues to grow mentally and physically.” Quarterback Orlando Puig, receiver Matt Garcia, defensive linemen Rafael Castor and Thomas Gonzalez, linebackers Kevin Esquivel and Ruben Rocha, and defensive back Deiontae Moore will be counted on as well to make their presence known. Among the top sophomores on the squad are halfback Caleb Gerber (5-8, 145, 4.6) and nose tackle Chris Teran (5-6, 220, 5.3). “Caleb is a highly-skilled player who will contribute in all phases of the game,” Torres said. “Chris will add muchneeded depth to an already young defense. He could possibly play on the offensive line as well.” Pebble Hills kicks off its debut season Aug. 26 at Irvin before taking on Andress and Chapin in the Spartans’ only nondistrict games. Torres sees Americas, Franklin, El Dorado and Montwood to be the top four teams in the league. “El Paso continues to improve in all aspects of athletics, beginning with football,” Torres said. “There are many experienced and successful head coaches and programs in our area.”

Frenship Tigers — District 2-6A
Frenship Flourishes In New Class Much like a former district around these parts was called the “Little Southwest Conference,” Frenship coach Brad Davis feels the current District 2-6A should be called the “Little Big 12.” According to Davis, the district boasts “great teams with great traditions of winning with the likes of Tascosa, Permian and Central. It will be very competitive every week.” Make no mistake that the Tigers also are a tradition-rich program, even though Frenship may be a relative newcomer to the state’s highest classification. The 2015 Tigers were another solid bunch, producing an 8-3 record including 3-1 in district. The season ended with a 47-40 bi-district loss to El Paso Eastwood. “The team overachieved and overcame a lack of depth and key injuries to win district,” said Davis, who is just three wins from his milestone 100th victory as a head coach (97-21 in 10 years, all at Frenship). Thirty-two Tigers were claimed by graduation, leaving 30 veterans including seven starters on offense and five on defense. “We should be very strong and quick on the offensive and defensive lines,” Davis said. “We have good skill kids at the receive positions and in the secondary. Quarterback should be a real strength.” That quarterback is junior Brock Erculiani (6-1, 175, 4.8), while heading up the secondary is another junior in Mason Weathers (5-10, 160,

Three straight home games are next against Lubbock Cooper, Abilene Cooper and the district-opener against Permian for homecoming. After that it’s at Midland, home against Tascosa, at Central, home against Odessa and at Lee. An open week closes out the regular season.

Midland Bulldogs — District 2-6A
Bulldogs Unleashed for 3rd Post Season Appearance The 2016 Midland High Bulldogs will have a chance to accomplish something that has only been done once before in school history … Make the playoff three straight seasons. The Bulldogs qualified for the second straight season in 2015, but injuries kept the team from realizing its full potential down the stretch. The Bulldogs opened the season with two close losses against Keller (28-35) and El Paso Montwood (14-28) before bouncing back with a pair of wins over Hurst Bell (17-7) and El Paso Franklin (38-21). After losing the final non district game to Amarillo High (16-42), Midland High began district play with a vital win over Odessa High (31-28). A trio of district losses to San Angelo (27-59), Permian (0-59), and Abilene (14-49) left the Bulldogs in a tough spot, but a big regular season finale win over Midland Lee (28-9) was enough to clinch a playoff berth. The season ended with a tough (18-76) loss to Arlington Martin in Bi-District play. Reflecting on the season, Head Coach Craig Yenzer said, “We were devastated by the injury bug with nineteen varsity players missing two or more games. Consequently we had several players who had to step up and gained valuable playing experience. Overall we were a very young team.” While that no doubt hurt Midland High a year ago, the experience gained will be invaluable this coming season. Ten starters return to the Bulldogs Shotgun offense which is headed up by offensive coordinator Rodney Sims. Jackson Anuszkiewicz QB (6-1, 180, 4.56 Sr.) returns for his second year under center. Anuszkiewicz stepped into the quarterback role for the first time last season and posted solid numbers 93 completions on 183 attempts for 1194 yards and 10 touchdowns to only 8 interceptions. Those number should only improve with a year under his belt. Other key components of the Bulldog offense are Juleion Bowers IR (5-10, 165, 4.45, Sr.) and Paxton Heiting OL (6-4, 272, 5.3, Sr.) who missed all but one game last season due to injury. Ricky Hubert RB (5-11, 185, 4.59, Sr.) also returns after missing four games a season ago. Courtney McMaryion WR (6-2, 170, 4.55, Sr.) is a two-year starter that missed five games because of injury in 2015. McClane Mannix IR (5-10, 170, 4.45, Sr.) is a speedy transfer playing his first season for Midland High. The Bulldogs return six starers to their 4-2-5 defense so coordinator Tim Anuszkiewicz will have a few holes to fill. Dillon Springer DE (6-1, 230, 4.7, Sr.) a two year starter, and Willie Echols DE (6, 220, Sr.) anchor the D-line. At linebacker the bulldogs will rely on Joseph Barron LB (6, 211, Sr.) and Billy Tagle LB (5-11, 205, Sr.) to hold things up in the middle of the field. The secondary is in good hands with Noah Marquez CB (6, 175, 4.55, Sr.) and Chris Sims FS (6-2, 180, 4.6, Sr.) on patrol. Brooks Betcher P/WR (6, 160, Sr.) will once again handle the punting chores after averaging 34 yards per attempt in 2015. Will Powell K/P (6, 154, Jr.) will kick the ball again in 2016. Powell’s longest field goal was 35yards a season ago. The new 2-6A district will be as tough with five playoff teams from 2015 now in the district. Coach Yenzer said, “There are great players and coaches throughout the district

Odessa Bronchos — District 2-6A
Bronchos This Aint Odessa High will have a fresh start in 2016. Head Coach Danny Servance takes over the Bronchos program after guiding Lubbock Estacado the last decade. Servance is a Baylor alumni and credits the legendary Grant Teaff as his primary coaching influence. Coach Servance says he is inheriting a hard working team and he will be tasked with building momentum from a group of 27 returning lettermen that won only two ball games last season. The Bronchos won the opener in 2015 taking down Lubbock Monterey (44-32), but three close losses to Lubbock Coronado (27-28), Amarillo Tascosa (29-42), and Amarillo High (21-31) followed. Odessa High closed out non district with an impressive (26-25) win over perennially tough Wolfforth Frenship. Unfortunately that would be the last victory as the Bronchos fell to Midland High (28-31), Midland Lee (21-49), San Angelo Central (14-43), Odessa Permian (7-57), and Abilene High (14-56) to go winless during district play. New head coach Servance explained his coaching philosophy ahead of this coming season. “The purpose of athletics is to help produce good, moral, and productive citizens. We want to encourage our student athletes to make a commitment to a selfless work ethic that we believe will result in pride, loyalty, self confidence, and a sense of belonging to something bigger then themselves.” Dean Garza will head up the Bronchos Spread offense as coordinator. Five starters return including Bailey Perez (6-4, 260, 5.1, Sr.) up front. Perez is an All-State caliber talent that will be counted on to anchor the line along with Christian Alvarez. Jonathan Franco has experience at both quarterback and receiver. Tony Carrasco only carried the ball 4 times last season, but does have 1 touchdown to his credit in those limited touches. The defense gave up a lot of points last season so coordinator Matt Anastacio will need to get improved play from his 3-4 set which returns five starters as well. Boy Hernandez DE (6-1, 240, 4.9, Sr.) is a force on the D-Line. CJ Washington and Oscar Lucio bring experience to the linebacker unit, but it is perhaps the secondary that

is the Bronchos strongest unit. Jorge Lopez DB (6-2, 185, 4.6, Sr.) and Estevan McClure DB (6-2, 185, 4.6, Sr.) are All-State caliber talents with recruiting potential. Add in the play Colton Beard and Odessa High has a very solid secondary. Kicker Ulysses Gutierrez returns for the special teams after making 19 of 24 PATs last season. Other promising newcomers to the roster include Chase Webster, Cadeon Murry, Reed Anastacio, Jorden Suber, Keve Robinson, and Jacob Munoz.

San Angelo Central Bobcats — District 2-6A
Bobcats Sharpen Claws San Angelo Central has made the playoffs six years in a row, and it has won at least 10 games in each of the past three seasons. The idea each year is never to rebuild, but to retool and go at it again, and the Bobcats will look to continue that in 2016. Central is returning plenty of firepower, and it will welcome back a standout athlete in Cal Vincent (6-2, 180). Vincent is expected to transition over to the QB position from wide receiver and pose a dual threat in the Bobcats’ spread scheme. Senior Daven Manning (5-11, 193) is the team’s top returning rusher. Manning rushed 121 times for 782 yards and 12 touchdowns last year. Central also has two dependable receivers coming back in seniors Aaron Wooten (6-2, 191) and Adam West (6-8, 211). Wooten caught 51 passes for 643 yards and 6 TDs a season ago, and West had 42 catches for 618 yards and 8 touchdowns of his own. On the offensive line, the Bobcats have a standout underclassmen in tackle Gunner Couch (6-2, 275), and senior Cameron Cross (6-1, 306) will anchor the hogmollies up front at center. Other offensive notables are sophomore wideout Mavrick McIvor (6-3, 180) – who is moving over from the 6-man game at Fort Davis – and fellow split ends Tommy Aych, a senior, and Henry Teeter, a junior. Defensively, senior safety Brock Martin (6, 190) is a player to watch in Central’s defensive backfield, where he recorded 8 tackles, 3 interceptions and 1 fumble recovery in 2015. Senior Gehrig Scott (6-1, 218) will spearhead the Bobcats’ defense at linebacker, where they will deploy multiple eight-man fronts in the box. Scott registered 101 tackles, 1 sack and 1 interception a year ago.

Junior Gage Smith (5-10, 150) is a player to keep an eye on at cornerback, where he had 1 interception and 4 pass breakups last season. Seven other defenders who should make an impact for Central are senior defensive tackles Cedrick Smith (5-11, 290), Jordan Schellhase (6-2, 325) and Donnie Bowers (5-10, 265), senior defensive ends Henry Howard (6, 210) and Elbert Paulk (6, 212), senior safety Ty Harmon (5-10, 175) and senior linebacker Cameron Geiger. In an interesting UIL realignment cycle in February, the Bobcats have moved up to District 2-6A to join Amarillo Tascosa, Midland, Midland Lee, Odessa, Odessa Permian and Wolfforth Frenship for the 2016-17 seasons.

Amarillo Tascosa Rebels — District 2-6A
Rebels Gearing Up For 6-A Going into last season the Rebels had not had hot double digit wins since 1966, but Tascosa ended that nearly fifty year drought with an impressive ten win campaign that saw them claim a share of the district title as well as a solid playoff run. The 2015 Rebels set the tone with a big (70-7) win over Caprock before running off a total of five wins in a row over Wichita Falls (54-21), Odessa High (42-29), Canyon (49-14), and Palo Duro (28-6). The final non district game was a battle of unbeatens versus Rebels Head Coach Ken Plunk’s former school Randall. In a hard fought game Tascosa came up short (14-28) but Coach Plunk used the open week before district play to get his team refocused and the Rebels claimed a pivotal victory of Frenship (33-7) to reestablish their presence. After a big win over Lubbock Coronado (34-13), Tascosa battled rival Amarillo High in a tight defensive battle, but ultimately the Sandies outlasted the Rebels giving Tascosa its second loss (7-14). A (43-10) win over Lubbock Monterey combined with a Frenship victory over Amarillo High left a three way tie for the district crown and set up Tascosa for a Bi-District trip to El Paso to face Soccoro. In high scoring fashion (66-40), the Rebels moved on to face Odessa Permian in the Area Round. Tascosa took down the Mojo (17-10) for their tenth victory of the season, marking the first win over Permian since the Rebels last season of double digit wins back in 1966. Hosting a regional game against Denton Ryan the Rebels went back and forth against one of the Metroplex’s best, but in the end Tascosa’s season ended with a (34-41) loss. The Rebels finished (10-3) on the season. Heading in to 2016 Tascosa returns six starters to their Flex Bone offense. Coach Plunk and offensive coordinator Josh Ritchey will need to address key losses at quarterback and in the offensive backfield. Brock Mooneyham (6-0, 156, Sr. QB/DB) is the team’s

most experienced passer but he attempted only 16 passes last season. Bert Morris (6, 192, Sr. WR/DB) is an All-State caliber talent that will give the Rebels a solid receiving threat. Rambo Luhizo (5-9, 188, Sr. FB/LB), Zac Zimmer (5-8, 154, Sr. QB/DB), D’Andre George (6-0, 210, Sr. RB/LB), and Aundra Fleeks (6, 214, Sr. FB/DE) are other players to watch for in the Tascosa backfield. Up front, the Rebels have a trio of seniors with recruiting potential in Paxton Ozbun (6-1, 290, Sr. OL/DL), Adren Gomez (6-1, 215, Sr. OL/DL), and Isaac Olguin (6-3, 255, Sr. OL/DL). The Rebels work from a 4-2-5 base set on defense under the guidance of coordinator Dane Hamrick. Five starters return to a speedy unit which will be led by seniors Preston Bradic (6, 195, Sr. LB/RB) and Colby Williams (6-1, 185, Sr. S/WR). John Malang (6-2, 210, Sr. DE/TE) is another player with All-State caliber talent. Other Rebels to watch include Julio Diaz (6-1, 170 Sr. LB/WR), Kyzae Lucky (6-1, 165, Sr. DB/WR), Ashton Burns (6-2, 280, Sr. DL/OL, Deveion Gray (5-10, 180, Jr. DB/RB), Christian Alvarado (5-7, 145, Sr. DB/RB), and Marc Medrano (5-9, 150, Sr. DB/RB). Thanks to redistricting, the Rebels once again find themselves as the only 6A team in the panhandle.The challenge of traveling south for district games on the road will make it tough, but the program is more established under Plunk and his system giving the Rebels a much better shot to compete despite the added challenges.

Abilene High Eagles— District 3-6A
Eagles In New District Head coach Del Van Cox is no stranger to Abilene football, as he has spent the past 20 years on the sidelines for the Eagles. But last year, he donned the big headset as head coach for the first time. The Black and Gold didn’t miss a beat, as they qualified for the Conference 6A playoffs once again. Abilene went 7-3 during the regular season – including 3-2 in District 3, good enough for the third seed – but they were edged 39-33 in a tight contest by Lamar in the bi-district round of the postseason. Entering the 2016 season, for the first time in a long time, the Eagles are in very unfamiliar territory. After UIL realignment announced in February, Abilene remained in 3-6A, but every other team in the league in 2014-15 – Midland, Midland Lee, Odessa, Odessa Permian and San Angelo Central – has been moved to District 2. Abilene will be looking at a completely new group of league opponents, as Haltom City Haltom, Keller, Keller Central, Keller Fossil Ridge, Keller Timber Creek and Weatherford have moved in. While the Eagles might not have a ton of familiarity with their new district mates, one thing is for certain: The six newcomers are well aware of the tradition of Abilene football, and the Eagles don’t plan on being the most kind and gracious of hosts. The six-time state champions are regulars in the playoffs, and they return a bevy of talent that possesses the ability to not only get there again, but to leave cleat marks on league competition on the way. On the offensive side of the ball, Abilene is bringing back six starters to their one-back scheme – junior wide receiver Raekwon Millsap (5-11, 165), senior offensive linemen Sammy Renteria (6, 270) and Oscar Garcia (6-2, 260), senior quarterback Peyton Killam (6-1, 180), senior running back Abram Smith (6-2, 202), senior tight end Coy McMillon (6-5, 250) and senior wideout Qua’Shawn Washington (6-1, 200). Renteria and Washington were first-team all-district selections a year ago, and Garcia, Killam and McMillon were second-team honorees. Millsap received honorable mention. Washington is also a returning starter on defense, where he garnered first-team honors at safety, as well. Along with his second-team award offensively, McMillon is a returning second-team selection at defensive end. The three returners joining Washington and McMillon in the Eagles’ 3-4 defense are junior linebacker Terrell Franklin (5-10, 180), junior defensive back Doak Holloway (5-10, 150) and senior defensive back Isaac Buenrrostro (6, 180). Franklin was named to the all-league second team.

The Eagles are scheduled to begin 3-6A competition at Haltom City on Sept. 23 at 7:30 p.m., and they will round out there slate on Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m. in another road game at Keller against Timber Creek.

El Paso Bowie Bears — District 1-5A
Bears Stalking A Success Since Robert Padilla became head coach of El Paso Bowie prior to the 2009 season, the Bears have gone 43-33 overall and made the playoffs in five of his seven seasons at the helm, including four consecutive postseason berths from 2012-15. Bowie has yet to make it past the area round in their five trips to the playoffs during Padilla’s tenure, but that is simply the next step for a program whose arrow is definitely pointing up. The Bears went 7-4 last season and 5-3 in District 1-5A, but they were bounced by crosstown rival El Paso Eastlake 62-14 in the bi-district round of the Division II postseason. Bowie is looking really good on the offensive side of the ball heading into the 2016 season, as they have eight returning starters. Defensively, however, Padilla knows there will be some holes to fill, as five spots were vacated by graduating seniors. “We have an experienced offensive line, an all-district quarterback and an explosive wide receiver returning,” Padilla said. “The defense will have to grow up quickly with younger players filling in for the graduated seniors, but we look forward to another winning season.” The quarterback returning to lead the Bears’ wing-T offense is German Carrasco, and while the wing-T is intended to be a running scheme, Carrasco has given Bowie the ability to throw

the ball. Last year, he completed 69 of 107 passes for 1,087 yards, 9 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. The leading receiver a season ago for the Bears was senior Dominic Johnson (6-2, 178). Johnson put together a marvelous campaign, hauling in 27 passes for 518 yards and 5 receiving touchdowns, averaging an impeccable 19.2 yards per reception. Bowie will have to replace a third-team allstate running back in Eric Pichardo Jr., who was lost to graduation. The two leading rushers returning from last year’s squad are senior Josh Hidalgo (5-8, 170) and Rick Valles. Hidalgo registered 274 rushing yards on 51 attempts with 4 touchdowns, and Valles tallied 115 yards on 16 attempts with 2 touchdowns. Another wideout to keep tabs on should be Jonathan Madrigal, who caught 4 passes for 43 yards last season. Defensively, Hidalgo will be a defensive back to watch in Bowie’s 50 scheme. A year ago, he totaled 83 tackles and picked off 4 passes. Alexis Martinez looks to be a standout on the defensive line. He collected 39 tackles – 6 of which went for a loss – 2 sacks and 1 interception in 2015. The Bears open the season at home against Clint Horizon on Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. Bowie begins league play on Sept. 23 with a tilt at home against El Paso Burges at 7 p.m., and they will hit the road for their final game of the regular season against El Paso Jefferson on Nov. 4 at 7 p.m.

El Paso Chapin Huskies — District 1-5A
Huskies Get New House When the 2016 football season kicks off in District 1-5A, El Paso Chapin will assume its usual role as the hunted rather the hunter. Since taking the field for the first time in 2002, the Huskies have claimed eight district titles, including four in the last five years, and cobbled together a combined 91-10 league record. Last year Chapin put up a 10-2 effort that included a sparkling 8-0 league mark and a dominating bi-district win over El Paso Bel Air before their season ended with an area-round loss to Randall. Head Coach Rene Hernandez, who has been at the school for the past decade, said his 2015 squad got better every week. He credited their steady improvement to hard work before and during the season. “I was extremely proud of the effort our kids put forth day in and day out,” Hernandez explained. “The tradition that has been put forth by past teams is second to none. The seniors from this past season leave behind big shoes to fill, but that is the case every year.” With the 2016 campaign on the horizon, Hernandez is preparing to welcome back 7 starters on defense and 2 on offense. He said the Huskies’ new facilities, and the anticipation of more on-field success, have added to the enthusiasm surrounding the program. “We are very excited about the upcoming season,” Hernandez said. “We are very talented, but still unproven at a lot of positions, especially on the offensive line. Our district has completed work on our new field house, to include a new weight room and training facility, so the excitement and expectations are at an all-time high.” On defense, Chapin will employ a 3-4 look under the direction of coordinator Arturo Poblano. The Huskies should be especially tough in the secondary with the return of seniors Rosario Hernanzez, Kevin Licon and DJ Banks. Rosario Hernandez (76 tackles, 3 interceptions) and Licon (62 tackles, 2 pickoffs) were both named to the alldistrict first team in 2015. Banks ended his junior season with an all-league second team nod. Chapin also returns three experienced linebackers in seniors Angel Carillo, Tony Meraz and Julian Gardea. Carillo landed on the all-district second team as an outside linebacker with 140 tackles, 8.5 sacks, 7 fumble recoveries and a defensive touchdown. Meraz was an all-district second teamer on the inside where he recorded 109 stops 3 sacks and 1 fumble recovery. The defensive line will feature the return of senior all-district first team selection Hinckley Lavea and classmates Anthony Suarez and Anthony Ulmer.

Lavea, a defensive end, led the trio with 91 tackles, 3 sacks and 1 pair of fumble recoveries last season. Suarez (81 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 recovered fumbles) and Ulmer were named to the all-district second squad at tackle and end, respectively. The Huskies’ no-huddle offense will run from a spread formation under the direction of coordinator Primitivo Vaquez. In the backfield, promising junior newcomer Anthony Baird is expected to take over at quarterback after directing the JV team last season. His aresenal of skill position weapons should include junior running back Matthew Zubiate and senior wide receivers Mondarius Johnson and Ryan Wilson. Zubiate flashed plenty of big play ability as a sophomore, racking up 720 yards and 8 touchdowns in just 68 carries. His 10.6 yards-per-carry average helped him earn one of the district’s Newcomer of the Year honors. Johnson proved to be one of the league’s most versatile and dangerous performers, catching 26 passes for 646 yards (24.8 yards per catch) and a TD and running for 121 yards and another score on 12 totes. On the offensive line, junior Alex Hinojosa (5-10, 215) and seniors Jonathan Reyes (5-10, 215) and Matthew Basurto (5-11, 190) are the most experienced candidates. Other players who could contribute for the Huskies in 2016 include senior all-district honorable mention tight end Fernando Ortega, senior outside linebacker
Drake Evan Garner, junior WR/DB Kentryal Caraway and promising sophomore newcomers Lama Lavea and J’Marion McKnight. Chapin opens the season with home games against El Paso Bel Air on Aug. 26 and El Paso Eastlake on Sept. 2. Their final non-district contest is slated for Sept. 9 at El Paso Pebble Hills. The Huskies’ begin their seven-game District 1-5A itinerary Sept. 23 at El Paso Austin. After hosting El Paso High on Sept. 20, they pay an Oct. 6 visit to El Paso Bowie. Their remaining league assignment includes home games against El Paso Irvin Oct. 14 and El Paso Burges and road tests at El Paso Jefferson Oct. 21 and El Paso Andress Nov. 4.

For the second year in a row Parkland went an even .500 on the season in 2015. The Matadors welcome a new head Coach for 2016 in West Texas A&M alum Josh Kirkland. Kirkland cites a number of coaching influences including Scott Smithey, William Compton, Ajani Sanders, Don Carthel, and Marty Criswell. Kirkland’s enthusiasm for the upcoming season is evident in his comments about his players. “The kids are working their tails off and getting better everyday. We are very excited about next year and the future of Matador Football.” A total of twenty lettermen return for the Matadors including six starters to coordinator, Eric Scogin’s Spread offense. Jacob Mendez (5-10, 178, WR/RB, 4.48) rushed for 1280 yards and scored a dozen touchdowns on 150 carries last season. Parkland also has rushing experience in Deion Hankins (5-11, 210, RB, 4.51) who carried the ball 42 times for 380 yards and four touchdowns in 2015. Up front Niel Montez (6-2, 286, OL, 5.32) provides experience at tackle whereas Gio Contrerez will be back for a second season as starting center. Eric Fronts serves as Parkland defensive coordinator. The Matadors use a 3-4 alignment and welcome back seven starters on that side of the ball including All-State talent Josh Wells (6-1, 225, DL, 4.82) on the defensive line. Darion Mosely anchors the linebacking corps and Parkland has a pair of All-State caliber talents in the secondary. Pat Sullivan (6-3, 185, DB/WR, 4.52) hauled in 5 interceptions last season and Frankie Kriegbamn (6-0, 205, Jr., DB, 4.58) is a speedy threat to opposing offenses as well.

Amarillo High Sandies — District 2-6A
Sandies Looking For Eight Straight
The Sandies have been one of the more consistent teams in the area with a run of seven straight postseason appearances. Entering his seventh season at the school, Head Coach Mel Maxfield is an impressive (51-22) during his stint as the head man at Amarillo High. It is no coincidence that the playoff streak coincides with the number of season Maxfield has guided the program. Heading in to 2016 the Sandies will need to replace several standouts that graduated on both sides of the ball to keep the run alive as in years past Maxfield and his staff always seems to have younger players groomed and ready to step in. Amarillo High began 2015 with a (35-7) win over Palo Duro. After suffering a last second heartbreak to Wichita Falls Rider (24-27) the Sandies rebounded to sweep the remainder of their non district foes in El Paso Montwood (35-21), Odessa High (31-21), Midland High (42-16), And Abilene Cooper (30-7). The Sandies opened district play with a pair of wins over Lubbock rivals Coronado (28-24) and Monterey (42-14). Amarillo High continued its dominance of cross town rival Tascosa with a close (14-7) win, but the Sandies bid for a perfect district run ended with a (24-28) loss

to Frenship in the regular season finale. Amarillo High threw down El Paso Montwood (44-27) in a Bi-District rematch. For the second straight season the Sandies season ended with an Area round loss (27-49) to Arlington Martin. One way or another things will be different in 2016 as Amarillo High drops down to class 5A after UIL realignment. So there will be no Arlington Martin hurdle to clear but with plenty of talented teams in district 5A the Sandies will still need to gel quickly with a retooled team and stay healthy to battle deep into the playoffs. Only one starter returns for Amarillo High Wing T ground and pound style of offense. Coaches cite wide receiver Rennick Hill (6-2, 195, 4.7) and FB David Vasquez (6, 220) as two players to keep an eye on when the Sandies have the ball. Amarillo High is a bit more experienced on defense with a total of 5 starters back for 2016. Up front the defensive line is anchored by DE/NG Ellis Newkirk (5-11, 250, 5.0). The Sandies are particulalry strong at linebacker where they have a trio of talented players back in OLB Ross Errington (6, 190, 4.7), LB Max Maxfield (6-1, 205, 4.7) and LB Garrett Payne (5-11, 195). Thanks to realignment the Sandies have a very favorable schedule for 2016 as Amarillo High will play only two games away from Dick Bivins Stadium. The drop down in classification also brings back a few of the rivalries of old though of course it does reduce the importance of the battle with Tascosa however fans
of both schools know that game means something regardless if it is a district contests or not. The 2016 season begins at home on August 26th with a visit from Lubbock Cooper. Odessa High visits September 2nd and the rivalry game versus Tascosa comes early on September 9th with the Sandies on the visiting side of Dick Bivins. Following an open week district play kicks off against Caprock on September 22nd with Amarillo High again on the away side. Canyon visits September 29th before Amarillo High plays its only two games away from Dick Bivins,at Hereford October 7th and at Plainview October 14th. Randall visits on October 21st and the Sandies take to the visitor side against Palo Duro October 27th. The regular season finishes with Dumas coming to town on November 4th.

Canyon Eagles — District 3-5A
Eagles Expect To Be Tested Coach Blake Bryant has led the Canyon Eagle football program for seventeen years and during that stretch the purple and white have been one of the most consistent teams in the state. Bryant has amassed 119 wins to only 64 losses during that stretch and 2015 was no exception to canyon’s winning ways. The Eagles began with three straights wins over Borger (34-14,) Roswell, NM (27-19), and Plainview (4128), before dropping a game to a tough Tascosa squad (1449). Closing out non district with a victory (48-6) for state pride over Eisenhower from Lawton Ok, Canyon ran off four straight district wins over Dumas (33-22), Hereford (55-7), Palo Duro (41-14), and Caprock (49-41). A regular season ending loss to rival Randall (17-28) proved only a minor blip as the Eagles soared to a Bi-District win (58-37) over San Angelo Lakeview, and an Area round victory over El Paso Burges (42-7). Canyon’s season ended with a Regional’s loss (33-49) loss to Everman. The Eagles finished 10-3 on the season. Canyon will return only four starters to its Spread offense for 2016, but that includes All-State caliber QB Gunnar Palacios (6-1, 185, Sr., QB) who threw for over 3000 yards and passed for 31 touchdowns last season while adding 1119 yards rushing and another 12 touchdowns. Offensive coordinator Todd Winfrey will also have speedy transfer Jaelin Ford (6-1, 195, Jr., 4.53, RB) in the backfield. Ford comes over from once again district for Amarillo high where he was as a 2nd Team All-State pick in 6A as only a sophomore. Rowdy Vaughn (6, 185, Jr., 4.48, RB) is another speedy option for the Eagles ground game. Tommy Williams (6, 205, Sr. ,WR, 4.7) is the top receiver back for the eagles. Up front, Jacob Garcia (6-3, 250, Sr., OL, 5.2) and Quentin Weigle (6-2, 235, Sr., OL, 5.1) anchor the line. Headed up by coordinator Kirk Rodgers, Canyons defense returns six starters including All-State caliber linebacker Dayne Douglass (6-2, 225, Sr., LB, 4.7) who racked up 99 tackles last season. Isaac Huseman anchors the line again after making 47 tackles in 2015 including 4 quarterback sacks. Dakota Puga (5-9, 165 ,Sr., DB, 4.62) headlines the secondary after hauling in 5 interceptions a year ago. Coaches list Lawton Rikel (6-1, 155, Soph., QB, 4.58) as a promising newcomer to the varsity roster. Canyon will face a battle in 2016 thanks to redistricting, which created one of the toughest 5A districts anywhere in the state. The season will begin August 26th with a neutral site game versus Brownwood at Lubbock Cooper’s Stadium. The home opener comes September 2nd with a visit from Monahans. In a final non district tune-up the Eagles go to Big Spring September 16th. Homecoming will be September 23rd when Canyon hosts Hereford in the district opener. Canyon holes a (4538-2) advantage in the longtime series. The Eagles will hope to even a series that currently stands at (4-5) when they make the short trip north to face Amarillo High September 29th. Canyon will be the home team when they face Randall

Amarillo Palo Duro Dons — District 3-5A
Dons March On
Chris Fisher is about to find out if he can go home again. After spending 14 years as an assistant defensive coach at Plano High, Fisher, a former Palo Duro defensive back and 1994 graduate, was hired as the Dons’ head coach in January. He is replacing Steve Parr, who decided to retire after 17 seasons as PD’s head coach. In Parr’s final season, the Dons finished 1-9 overall and 1-4 in district play. Fisher said he thinks the team played hard but had a tough time finishing out games. This year Fisher expects to have twenty lettermen back, including six players who started on offense in 2015 and seven who were first string defenders. “We should have a nice blend of returning starters and newcomers, but we have to find depth,” Fisher said. Fisher intends to install a spread offense and run a 4-3 defense. His first PD staff will include offensive coordinator Caleb Holt and defensive coordinator Tom James. Helping the Dons reclaim the momentum they lost last year will require some hard work, but PD has tradition on its side. Last year was their first playoff miss since 2011 and just their third since 2001. “It’s going to be a week-to-week battle in a tough district with good players and coaches,” Fisher added. Palo Duro’s top returnees on offense include seniors Noah Coronado, Isaiah Williams and Nathan Stotts. Coronado proved to be an efficient passer as a junior, completing 112 of 177 passes for 1,280 yards and 9 touchdowns. Williams is the Dons’ top returning ball carrier. Last year he averaged nearly 8 yards a carry, recording 401 yards and a touchdown on just 52 carries. Stotts (21 receptions, 210 yards, 1 TD) and fellow senior K.T. Butler (36 carries, 150 yards) add to Palo Duro’s backfield experience. In the trenches, PD will look for senior leadership from bookend tackles Sergio Sosa (6-1, 295) and Jordan Beard (6-1, 210). Sosa has two years of varsity experience under his belt while Beard is set for his second varsity season. On the defensive side of the ball, the Dons will be led by two of last season’s top district performers in seniors Chris Thornton and Tre’saun Brown. Thornton was an all-district first team defensive end in 2015. His numbers included 62 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, 6 sacks and a fumble recovery. Brown, a defensive back, also landed on the allleague first team. His contributions included 34 tackles, 2 interceptions and a fumble recovery.

Seniors Aye Aye Maung and Dunyea Hollings give PD a pair of experienced linebackers. Maung led the duo last season by collecting 61 tackles, 2 sacks, 4 tackles for loss and a pair of fumble recoveries. Hollings chipped in with 54 tackles, 1 interception and 1 recovered fumble. Other players who could be factors for Palo Duro in 2016 include senior quarterback/free safety Ty’reick Branch and promising junior newcomers Tyreek Shepherd (QB) and Jalen Flanagan, a (5-11, 200) defensive end. Fisher’s first season as the Dons’ head coach gets underway Aug. 25 against city rival Tascosa. The remaining non-district schedule includes a Sept. 9 road test at Wichita Falls Ryder and Sept. 16 home game against Bushland. Palo Duro’s seven-game District 3-5A slate begins Sept. 23 when they play host to Plainview. After back-toback road tilts against Dumas (Sept. 30) and Caprock (Oct. 7), PD returns home for an Oct. 13 battle against Canyon. They close out league play with road challenges at Hereford on Oct. 21 and defending district champ Randall on Nov. 4. They also face an Oct. 27 showdown against league newcomer and crosstown nemesis Amarillo High.

Hereford Whitefaces — District 3-5A
Herd Ready For 3-5A Test The last five football seasons have been a revolving door for Hereford: make the playoffs one year, come up short the next. Last season it looked like the Whitefaces might buck that trend when they came out of the chute with wins against Lubbock Estacado and Pampa during the season’s first three weeks. When the dust settled, however, Hereford found itself with a 2-8 overall mark and a winless District 3-5A ledger. “We started pretty quickly and then injuries started being a problem,” head coach Don DeLozier explained. “So we didn’t finish as strongly as we would have liked.” The 2016 season will be DeLozier’s 14th with the Whitefaces and he expects to have 29 lettermen back, including three starters on each side of the ball. To offset the lack of starting experience, DeLozier will rely on the Herd’s solid skill position potential. The UIL’s biannual realignment means District 3-5A could also be a tougher proposition for Hereford and league regulars Canyon, Randall, Dumas, Palo Duro and Caprock due to the additions of Plainview and perenial playoff qualifier Amarillo High.

in some good work through the spring,” DeLozier said. “An eight-team district becomes a marathon, and Amarillo High and Plainview moving in makes the district tougher as well.” On offense, the Whitefaces will employ a spread attack led by a senior trio of skill players that includes quarterback Luke Nino, running back Adrian Hernandez and wide receiver Dylan McGinty. Last season Nino completed 22 of 50 passes for 311 yards and 3 touchdowns in limited duty. During his junior campaign, Hernandez carried the ball 144 times for 496 yards and 5 TDs. McGinty’s 2015 numbers included 8 catches for 135 yards. He also contributed on special teams by handling the Herd’s punting duties. Senior Carlos Gallegos (7 receptions, 137 yards) is also expected to play a key role in Hereford’s offensive fortunes as a target in the passing game and as the team’s placekicker.

Up front, the Whitefaces will look for leadership from senior center/guard Noah Nikkel, who was singled out by DeLozier for his “great mobility.” DeLozier is also counting on contributions from senior linemen Luis Morantes and Johnny Garza. “Luis is experienced and tested and has a great work ethic,” DeLozier said. “Johnny has shown great improvement in the spring.” Defensively, senior linebackers Aaron Ontivaros and Marcus Vallejo will key the Herd’s 4-2-5 alignment. Ontivaros, who DeLozier said played as well as anyone on Hereford’s 2015 unit, was named to the all-district second team as a junior.

should provide aerial support in the secondary. Other underclassmen to watch for the Herd in ’16 include junior Jade Collier and sophomores Israel Uvalle, Seth Dixon, Raymundo Ponce, Dodge DeLozier and Shawn Escamilla. Hereford’s 2016 effort gets started with an Aug. 26 contest at Lubbock Estacado. They finish off a short threegame non-district slate with home challenges against Borger (Sept. 2) and Pampa (Sept. 9). The Whitefaces start their District 3-5 trail drive with road trips to Canyon on Sept. 23 and Plainview on Sept. 30. After playing host to league favorite Amarillo High on Oct. 7, they travel to Randall for an Oct. 14 dust-up against the defending 3-5A champion Raiders. Their remaining district assignment includes home games against Palo Duro (Oct. 21) and Caprock (Nov. 4) and an Oct. 28 trip to Dumas.

Plainview Bulldogs — District 3-5A
3rd Times The Charm For Dogs For as storied a football history as Plainview possesses, the Bulldogs have never qualified for the state playoffs three consecutive seasons. Ryan Rhoades and company look to change that in 2016, and the Bulldogs have a great shot at getting it done. “We are returning a large number of starters on both sides of the ball. In addition to that, we had a great offseason. Our team is excited about the upcoming opportunities,” noted Rhoades, who in three years at Plainview has produced a 14-18 record and who is 48-50 counting his days in Levelland and Texhoma, Okla. The Bulldogs finished last season with a 5-6 record, going 2-2 in district then losing to Randall in an overtime bi-district battle, 21-14. “We finished the season playing our best ball of the year, taking a very good Randall team to overtime,” Rhoades said. While players such as Roy Abanonu, J’ryn Vela, Marc Wallace, Ethan Andrade, Jayton Ellis, Dantae Session, Marc Ramos and Eric LaFuente are among the 32 players to whom the Bulldogs bid farewell, 29 players return, including eight starters on offense and seven on defense.

Among those leading the charge for Plainview in 2016 will be a core group of talented seniors. Running back Trendan Jackson (5-10, 171, 4.6) ran for 916 yards on 121 carries and scored 13 touchdowns (11 rushing) last season when he was limited by injury. “Trendan is a potentially game-changing player,” Rhoades said. Rhoades had high praise for Wrangler Haresnape (6-2, 213, 4.85), a quarterback/running back who lines up at linebacker on defense. “Wrangler is an incredible team player who will play whatever position is necessary to help the team. All he cares about is making those around him better and giving them a chance to succeed.” Haresnape had more than 500 yards and five touchdowns rushing, receiving and passing in

Plainview’s Wing-T in 2015. He also averaged more than 40 yards a punt. Braxton Riddley (6-2, 174, 4.62) is a receiver/defensive back whom Rhoades called “both an excellent athlete and student. He is a team player who made a switch to defensive back after a successful sophomore year at receiver. He’s blessed with good height and an incredible wingspan. Braxton will be a contributor on both sides of the ball his senior year.” Up front are Angel Reyes and Trevor Townsend. Reyes (5-8, 195, 5.0) “is an incredible player on the interior defensive line, especially for a player his size.” Rhoades said. “He may be as good as I have ever seen in terms of being able to use leverage and quickness to his advantage.” Reyes recorded 30 tackles (3 TFL) with

4 sacks and 1 fumble recovery last season. Rhoades said Townsend (6-2, 299, 5.38), a three-year letterman, “has exceptional size and strength. He really began to come into his own at the end of the 2015 season when he made a permanent switch to the center position. He is intelligent and will play with a purpose his senior year.” The top tacklers returning in Plainview’s 4-2-5 defense are both seniors in the secondary. Dice Griego (5-9, 157) had 67 tackles, 4 fumble recoveries and 2 interceptions while Jace DeLaGarza (6-0, 159) tallied 54 stops, 2 fumbles and 2 picks. Junior Carson Hauk (5-9, 171, 4.75) also saw time in the secondary, though Rhoades said his more natural position is quarterback. “He is a leader who has an ability to make those around

him better.” Other veteran defenders are senior lineman Beaux Bennett (6-1, 211) with 24 tackles and 2 fumble recoveries and senior linebacker Jeremy Dominguez (5-10, 199) with 32 tackles (2 TFL). Joining Townsend up front will be senior Sam Nicholas (5-10, 223) and juniors Edgar Quirogo (6-1, 230, 5.41) and Jaylon Borrego (5-9, 235, 5.31), who didn’t miss a snap as a sophomore. “Jaylon made the transition from the freshman team to the varsity through hard work and intelligence. He got better as the year went and hasn’t reached his ceiling yet. He gives incredible effort and has the ability to make up for his lack of size with leverage and out-thinking his opponent.” The coach called Nicholas one of the team’s offensive leaders. “Sam is very intelligent and a student of the game.” Rhoades said Quirogo “maximizes his potential through hard work and determination.” Other trenchmen are senior linemen Manuel Alcala (6-0, 198) and Leo Balderas. Senior Edgar Baeza (5-8, 152) gives the Dogs a proven kicker after he made 28-of-35 PATs in 2015, while among the new faces Plainview fans should keep their eyes on are Bryan Abanonu, Aiden Garcia and Brodrick Jackson. The Bulldogs play only two non-district games at Coronado and home against Tascosa before opening district with back-to-back road games against Borger and Palo Duro. Plainview then hosts Hereford for homecoming followed by two more home games against Dumas and Amarillo High. Then it’s back on the road to face Caprock and Randall before closing the regular season at home against Canyon. “District 3-5A may be one of the toughest districts – top to bottom – that I have been associated with,” Rhoades said. “The district has a wealth of tradition and great teams. It will be a huge challenge to compete in it week-in and week-out. We are looking forward to the opportunity of competing in it.”

Abilene Cooper Cougars — District 4-5A
Returners Key For Cooper A challenging non-district schedule last year helped prepare the Cougars for district and a nice run in the playoffs, and coach Todd Moebes hopes the same holds true in 2016. Last year’s Cooper team won only two non-district contests, but then went (3-1) in district before winning a pair of post-season contests over Caprock, (45-53), and Del Valle, (31-14), prior to falling in the regional round to Aledo, (33-0). The Coogs ended with a (7-6) record. “Our team got a lot better as the year went on,” Moebes said. “The last seven games we averaged giving up less than 300 yards per game on defense. Offensively, we averaged 400 yards and 32 points a game. We played a very, very tough non-district schedule, losing to Austin Vandegrift by one and taking South Grand Prairie to overtime.” While 31 players graduated off the roster, including receiver Aaron Anderson, tight end Caleb Freman and defensive back Darrien Campos, the majority of starters – seven on offense and eight on defense – are back. “We have a lot of returning starters on both sides of the ball, as well as our kicker, and more returning lettermen

Leading receivers returning are Jwan Hong and junior Mylier Royals (6-4, 160, 4.55), who together accounted for more than 60 catches, almost 700 receiving yards and 5 scores. Of Royals, Moebes said, “We’re looking for him to have a break-out year in 2016.” Veterans back to the do the dirty work in the trenches are Kendrick James and John Arellano, along with Bryce Templeton. Looking at Cooper’s 3-4 defense, seniors Terreon Page in the secondary and Zach Goodson at linebacker are poised to have stellar seasons. Paige (5-11, 170, 4.45) had 46 tackles and returned 2 of his 3 interceptions for touchdowns last season, plus also had a 100-yard kickoff return, while Goodson (6-0, 200, 4.7), who will be a three-year starter, is the leading tackler back with 84 stops (11 for loss), 4 sacks, 2 interceptions and 2 fumble recoveries. Another experienced backer is Actavius Lowry, who recorded 75 stops (11 for loss), and 2 sacks

(24) with experience,” said Moebes, who is (37-24) in five years at Cooper. “We have to replace our offensive line and two secondary starters.” Back to quarterback Cooper’s spread offense is Austin Smith, who last year completed 184-of-296 passes for 2,311 yards with 20 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Two battle-tested ball-carriers are back in Devin Johnson 183 carries, 1,117 yards, 13 TDs and Tyrees Whitfield (120-887-11), who in 2015 combined to rush for more than 2,000 yards and 24 touchdowns. With another 1,000-yard season as a senior, Johnson (5-8, 170, 4.49) will be the second all-time leading rusher in school history.

in 2015, along with junior Justin Wright (6-2, 200, 4.8) whom Moebes believes “has a huge future.” Up front, Datrion Booker compiled 51 tackles (13 for loss) and 6 sacks, while junior noseguard Anthony Arellano (6-0, 260, 5.2) had 22 tackles (3 for loss). “Anthony is very strong and explosive,” Moebe noted. Joining Page in the secondary will be Rueben Perez, who contributed 51 tackles (3 for loss) and 2 picks. Moebes is counting on players like receiver Nate Squyres and tight ends Houston Hance and Aaron Jonas to fill in the gaps left by graduation. Handling punting and kicking chores will be Pedro Lira, who a year ago made all but one of 50 PATs and 7 of 10 field goals, including a 44-yarder. Realignment sent Plainview packing and welcomed Lubbock Monterey and Coronado. Moebes thinks the district title could come down to Abilene Cooper and Lubbock Cooper. “4-5A will be very competitive. All teams are very well-coached.”

Lubbock Westerners — District 4-5A
Westerners Look To Step It Up In 2016 Jason Strunk and the Lubbock High Westerners had a rough time of it in 2015. The Westerners won only one game and were winless in district. But, alas, with every new season comes renewed hope, and Lubbock High is nothing if not that. Twenty-six players off last year’s team were lost to graduation, leaving Strunk with 19 veterans around which to work. Of those veterans, seven own starting experience on both offense and defense. Strunk is optimistic about the future and feels the success of the program in 2016 will depend on the incoming seniors. “We have a good group of seniors that will be called on as leaders on and off the field,” said Strunk, entering his sixth season at the helm of the black and gold. Among the players the Westerners will be counting on the most are quarterback Daedrion Morgan (5-8, 215, 4.9) on offense and lineman Tyree Johnson (5-9, 225, 4.9) on defense. Likely two-way starters include Keyshawn Collins (5-8, 175, 4.7) at running back and cornerback and Blake Robbins (5-8, 145, 4.9) at wide receiver and defensive back. Offensive lineman Josh Hoeve (6-2, 250, 5.4) will lead the big uglies up front. Lubbock High opens the season Aug. 26 on the road against Seminole then hosts Andrews in the homeopener Sept. 01. After that it’s at Dumas, homecoming against Estacado on Sept. 16 and at Shallowater leading up to the district opener at home against Lubbock Cooper. Lubbock High stays home to host San Angelo Lake View before winding down the regular season at Abilene Cooper followed by crosstown rivals Coronado and Monterey.

Lubbock-Cooper Pirates — District 4-5A
Pirates Brewing Something Special In 2016 The pieces are in place for something special to happen at Lubbock Cooper. “This group of young men is one of our most talented and driven groups we have had come through Lubbock Cooper. A lot of things have to come together in order to have a special season, but the foundation is set and ready,” coach Max Kattwinkel said of the 2016 Pirates. The 2015 version of Lubbock Cooper wasn’t bad. The Pirates, led by guys such as Kirby Vinson, Josh Quinton and AJ Perez, went unbeaten in district and finished with a 9-2 record after defeating Dumas in bi-district (26-20) prior to losing to El Paso Eastlake (2421) in the area round. “We graduated a really good and close senior class of athletes. Their contributions on and off the field set the foundation for the program,” said Kattwinkel, who is 28-9 in three seasons at Cooper. About half of last year’s team graduated, leaving 32 lettermen with seven starters back on offense and five on defense. Among the veterans are two talented seniors with very familiar last names to area football fans. Ty Thomas is a nephew to former Texas Tech and NFL star Zach Thomas, while Jarret Doege is the younger brother

to former Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege. Thomas 5-11, 194, 4.5 plays safety in Cooper’s 4-2-5 defense where last year he amassed 107 tackles (3 TFLs) with 2 interceptions and a fumble. Meanwhile, Doege 6-2, 200, 4.7 will be looking to put up more gaudy numbers after last year completing 175-of-260 passes for 2,122 yards with 22 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in Cooper’s multiple-set offense. (Doege already has signed with Bowling Green, where brother Seth is an assistant coach.) Another top-notch recruit for Cooper is senior receiver Josh Moore 6-0, 165, 4.4, who as of this writing was entertaining 13 scholarship offers from NCAA Division I programs. Giving Doege another prime receiving target will be senior Seth Watts 6-0, 160, who

in 2015 grabbed 36 passes for 501 yards and 5 TDs while also rushing 97 times for 745 yards and 9 scores. Still another receiving candidate is senior Mitchell Brown 5-9, 151, while senior Francisco Piccio 5-10, 182 gives the Pirates another rushing option, along with newcomer Elijah Boyd 5-11, 212. As good as Cooper’s skill position players are, the boys protecting them may be just as good. They include a trio of seniors – all three-year starters – in Jade Maldonado 6-1, 295, Nathan Reyna 5-11, 221 and Christian Barkely 6-3, 242. Kattwinkel called Maldonado a “big, physical offensive lineman with good feet and said Reyna is athletic and aggressive. Both of them were alldistrict a year ago. Barkley has “a great frame and work ethic,” according to his coach.

Joining Thomas on defense will be guys like senior inside linebackers Caleb Hurst 5-11, 155 and Carlos Pina 5-7, 190, who ended last season with 56 (2 TFLs) and 37 (4 TFLs) tackles, respectively. Sophomore Reese Wagnon 5-11, 185 will likely get called on to at linebacker as well. Up front will be senior tackle Lance MessickGarcia 5-9, 246, who had 37 tackles (2 TFLs) in 2015, and junior end Tre Jones 6-5, 203. Assisting Thomas in the secondary will be senior Brayden Black 5-10, 155, who last year recorded 30 tackles and an interception, and promising junior Jake Kirkpatrick 6-0, 180, 4.6. A big weapon for the Pirates is senior kicker Ethan Ekdahl 5-11, 146, who was perfect on 51 PATs and 13-of-17 field goals last season. Ekdahl’s longest made kick was a 44-yarder.

Cooper opens its season Aug. 26 in Amarillo against the Sandies then makes its home debut Sept. 2 against Randall. The Pirates then play at Frenship, host Weatherford and go to Clovis before an open week and the start of district play at Lubbock High. Then it’s home against Abilene Cooper, at Coronado, home against Monterey then at San Angelo Lakeview. “I love the fact that natural rivalries were put into place,” Kattwinkel said of the realignment. “I think this district is a great thing for football in Lubbock, Texas. It will be a challenge, but it will be an exciting thing for local football fans.”

Lubbock Coronado Mustangs — District 4-5A
‘Stangs Ready To Kick New District The Mustangs are coming off of back-to-back (3-7) seasons. Head Coach Seth Parr will be looking for more out of his squad as he enters his third season atop the Coronado football program. The Mustangs are without a district win since an October 2012 victory over Odessa High so winning a few of the games that matter has to be one of the major goals for the program. Redistricting has changed the district schedule and at least softened the amount of traveling. Coronado began 2015 with a (19-29) loss to Weatherford before finding some traction with consecutive wins over Odessa High (28-27) and San Angelo Lakeview (59-11). Losses to Canyon Randall (23-28) and Odessa Permian (6-38) came next but Coronado defended state pride with a (58-35) win over Hobbs, New Mexico to finish out the non district schedule. A couple of close, 4 point losses opened district play (24-28) against Amarillo High, and (13-17) versus Lubbock Monterey. 2 more losses to Amarillo Tascosa (13-34) and Frenship (17-44) finished off the season. The Mustangs last qualified for the postseason in 2007, but there are reason to be optimistic heading into 2016. Coach Parr and his staff have had several years to acclimate players to their scheme and there is plenty of senior leadership to help motivate younger players. On offense senior WR Noah Sifrit and junior WR Devin Morrison will be vital for the Mustangs passing game. Junior QB Qua’vondrick Gray threw for 2209 yards last season while completing 182 of 312 passing attempts. In the backfield, junior RB Jarrod Compton is the most experienced rusher but Compton only carried the ball 24 times for 191 yards all of last season. Junior OL Jaylon Thomas anchors the line of scrimmage. The Mustangs will rely on the strong linebacker trio of Seniors Mason Montoya and Seth Wood, and sophomore Trey Stephens to lead the defense. Montoya led the team in both solo tackles with 46 and assisted tackles with 126 for a total of 172 tackles on the year. Wood contributed 104 combined tackles and Stephens 84 tackles in his freshman season. Senior DT Colton Youngblood and Junior DT Luis Garcia anchor the defensive line. A pair of seniors, Braydon Walker and Christian Hayes bring experience the the secondary. The 2016 season begins with a Thursday night

Lubbock Monterey Plainsmen — District 4-5A
P lainsmen R amp up for P ostseason Finish Lubbock Monterey enters 2016 with a string of six straight playoffs seasons, including the last two years with Head Coach Wayne Hutchinson calling the shots. With four starters back the Plainsmen’s offense will be a bit thin on Friday night experience, but they return seven starters on defense and 32 total lettermen, so Hutchinson is confident they can keep the post-season streak alive. “The upcoming players are getting stronger and more comfortable with our program and system,” Hutchinson explained. “They have made great strides in becoming better athletes. We will be young in some key positions but athletic. We also return most of our experience on defense and we expect them to have a great year.” Monterey is coming off a 5-6 season that included a 1-4 district ledger and a 35-28 bi-district round loss to El Paso Americas. At first glance, those results may appear to be middle-of-the-road, but Hutchinson said the 2015 Plainsmen could have easily finished with an 8-3 record. “We had very good leadership and our players played very hard,” Hutchinson said. “The team just had some bad breaks, but overall it was a very good team.” Though he’d like to have more varsity experience, especially to run his spread offense, Hutchinson said his

2016 squad should have plenty of overall speed, which will come in handy in a tough and realigned District 4-5A. “We will be in a very competitive district,” Hutchinson said. “The teams in our league will be very well-coached and tradition-rich schools and we look for our district to be a battle each and every week.” On offense, wide receiver Kalen Noseff-Waites is the Plainsmen’s top returning skill player. Last season the senior-to-be reeled in 37 passes for 691 yards and 7 touchdowns en route to an all-district second team spot. Returning juniors Xavier White 20 receptions, 325 yards, 4 TDs, Trey Manahan 60 carries, 304 yards, 1 TD and Jalen Benton bring additional varsity experience to the huddle. Hutchinson also expects to get contributions from top

sophomore newcomers Hayden Malone at quarterback, Adrian Tovar at receiver and RB/WR Caden Jenkins. On the offensive line, Monterey will count on senior starter all-state candidate Eric Gipson (6-3, 295) and promising junior newscomers Jacob Mann (5-10, 240), Cutter Royal (6-5, 300) and Zach Evans (6-2, 265). On the other side of the ball, the Plainsmen will employ a 3-3-5 base defense led by junior defensive end Tydrick Ranson, an all-district second teamer in 2015. Senior holdover Chris Hernandez is also back to man the defensive line and fellow upperclassmen Andres Garcia and Jonathan Perez return to anchor the linebacker corps. Senior returnees Corbin Whitfield and Trent Ward give Monterey a pair of strong performers in the secondary. On special teams, the Plainsmen rely on senior alldistrict second team kicker Taylor Williamson and senior punter Ivan Diaz. Monterey’s rugged non-district schedule begins with an Aug. 26 road trip to Odessa High. After hosting two of the state’s top teams from 2015 4A regional champ Abilene Wylie (Sept. 2) and 5A regional finalist Canyon Randall (Sept. 9) they pack their bags for a Sept. 16 visit to Midland Lee. They also play host to perenial playoff participant Stephenville in the Sept. 30 non-league finale. The Plainsmen kick off the District 4-5A season Oct. 7 by invading the home turf of 2015 5A regional finalist Abilene Cooper. Following an Oct. 14 Hub City showdown against crosstown rival Lubbock Coronado, they hit the road for an Oct. 21 battle at San Angelo Lake View. They wrap up league with games against city foes Lubbock Cooper (Oct. 28) and Lubbock High (Nov. 4).

San Angelo Lake View Chiefs — District 4-5A
Chiefs Chasing Playoffs In the last three years, despite losing more games than it won, San Angelo Lake View has qualified for the postseason. If teams can do enough to reach the playoffs, there is no telling what can happen, and the Chiefs proved just that in 2014. They finished 5-7 overall – 4-6 in the regular season – but captured a stunning 26-21 victory over the Canyon Eagles in the bi-district round at Big Spring. They reached the postseason again in 2015 despite a 3-7 regular-season tally, although Canyon was able to exact some revenge on Lake View by winning 58-37 in the opening round at Seminole. The Chiefs will remain in District 4-5A in 2016-17, although there has been a slight adjustment to the league after UIL realignment in February. Remaining in the district with Lake View is Abilene Cooper, Lubbock High and Lubbock Cooper. But Plainview has been moved to District 3-5A, and moving into 4-5A down from Class 6A is Lubbock Coronado and Lubbock Monterey. That will make things even more difficult for the Chiefs, but sixth-year head coach Doug Kuhlmann and company are hoping to capture some magic. While it would love to finish above the five hundred mark for the first time in twelve years, Lake View would like to emerge from a difficult league and get into the playoff picture. The Blue and White is returning five starters to its offense that will utilize multiple formations. Junior Henry Nickias will spearhead its efforts at quarterback, where he passed for 653 yards and 5 touchdowns with 6 interceptions, and he also rushed for 1,194 yards and 10 TDs on the ground last year. Aiming to keep Nickias upright – while also providing solid blocking for running back Zoe Rodriguez – will be tackle Mason Clark, center Fernando Renteria, guard Anthony Gloria and tackle Ke Sean Kirk. Wide receivers Billy Cortez and Devon Williams will be two other offensive players to keep an eye on. Lake View will see eight starters return on the defensive side of the ball, where it runs the 3-3 stack scheme, and leading the charge will be senior defensive end Francisco Muniz. Muniz registered 61 tackles and 3 sacks a season ago. Both Michael Jordan and Elijah Davis will look to eat up space at defensive tackle. Jordan also consistently punctured the pocket with 6 sacks and 52 tackles in 2015. David Luera is the top returning linebacker, according to Kuhlmann, and Cortez will roam the defensive backfield, where he had 1 interception a year ago. Kuhlmann lists Anthony Guevara as his top underclassman to watch.

The Bulldogs grew some teeth down the stretch and growled their way to their first playoff victory since 2010. Head Coach James Day said, “We had to overcome lack of experience at some key skill spots and special teams. They worked hard and got on track and brought home our first gold ball in 4 years.” Borger began 2015 with a road loss to Canyon (14-34), but the Bulldogs bit back with a (29-0) shutout of Dalhart. A trio of losses to Bushland (13-28), Dumas (7-32), and Perryton (19-44) threatened to make for a long season but Borger bounced back in the final non district game by blasting Lubbock High (41-7) to regain some momentum which they carried over to the district opener with a (27-7) victory over Lubbock Estacado. Losses to Levelland (6-31) and rival Pampa (21-43) again put the Bulldogs on the brink of a bad season, but Coach Day rallied his young squad in the regular season finale and Borger outlasted Seminole (35-27) to secure a postseason berth. In a first ever meeting between the schools Borger claimed a Bi-District win over Clint (34-27). The Bulldogs season came to an end with an Area round loss (0-31) to a tough Abilene Wylie team that advanced all the way to

the state semifinals. Borger finished (5-7) on the season. Looking ahead to 2016 the Bulldogs return 14 lettermen. “We are going to be young again at certain spots,” Coach Day said. “We will have to try and fill some key skill positions. If we can do that we will be competitive.” The Bulldogs work from multiple sets on offense. Four starters return to a unit that rushed for 1567 yards and threw for 1898 last season. Jamarius Grimes (RB, 5-8, 165, 4.5, Jr.) is the Bulldogs top rusher returning. Grimes ran for 315 yards and scored 2 touchdowns on 57 carries last season. Alex Shopteese also brings some experience rushing the ball. The top returning receiver is Jud Tyree who hauled in 39 catches for 392 yards and 2 touchdowns last season. Marlon Jones (Rec/DB, 5-8, 160, 4.5, Jr.) is another dangerous target for the Bulldog passing game. Up front the offensive line is anchored by Tavaris Monroe. Borger works from a 4-2 Base set on defense with Kevin Lasley leading that unit as coordinator. Seven starters are back giving Coach Lasley a solid core of

experience to rely on. The unit is led by All-State caliber talent Miguel Rangel (LB, 5-5, 195, 4.8, Sr.) who coaches describe as “ … an ‘Old School’ linebacker that plays with a lot of aggression and passion.” Other players to watch include Lorenzo Valdez (OL/DL, 6-2, 255) and Kyler Brewer.

Levelland Lobos — District 1-4A D-I
Lobos Ready To Play Coming off a spectacular season that saw Levelland advance to the third round of the Class 4A Division I state playoffs, coach Jared Sanderson and the Lobos are anxious to get the 2016 campaign under way. And who can blame them? Senior-heavy Levelland returns 18 lettermen – including nine starters on offense and eight on defense – from last year’s roster. The 2015 Lobos won only five games during the regular-season, but once they got their foot in the postseason door they ran with it. Levelland dominated Fabens in bi-district, 52-7, before edging perennial power Stephenville in the area game, 31-30. Levelland’s season ended against a very talented Abilene Wylie team in the regional round, and the Lobos ended with a 7-5-1 record. Wylie, meanwhile, advanced another two rounds in the playoffs before losing in the state semifinals. Three senior skill position players will lead Levelland’s spread offense. All-state quarterback Nick Gerber (6-2, 185), the district’s offensive MVP, accounted for almost 5,000 yards of total offense in 2015, including 4,495 yards passing as he threw for 43 touchdowns while rushing for close to 500 yards and four more scores. One of Gerber’s favorite targets, Jeffrey Elliott (6-2, 190), caught 88 passes for 1,326 yards and 16 TDs. The all-stater also averaged 40 yards per punt. Meanwhile, running back Qualin Miller (5-11, 220) ran for 1,128 yards and 13 touchdowns to earn all-district first-team honors. Leading the Lobos’ 3-4 defense will be senior all-state lineman Braden Price and junior linebacker Christian Perez. Price (6-5, 225) accounted for 102 tackles last season, including 25 TFLs, 5 sacks, 8 pressures, 3 forced fumbles and 2 pass break-ups. Perez (5-10, 195) racked up an eye-popping 152 stops, including 15 TFLs, 2 sacks, 5 pressures, 2 break-ups and a forced fumble. Other experienced seniors returning are receivers/ defensive backs Kegan Dent (6-1, 175) and Daniel Hurn (5-9, 170), both two-year starters who were all-district a year ago when Hurn intercepted 3 passes and had 537 kickoff return yards. Up front, Cooper Critchfield (6-1,

230) is a two-year starter on the defensive line while Aaron Mendez (6-2, 270) carries the same credentials on offense. Reinforcements to help the Lobos shore up the offensive line and safety position will arrive off a junior varsity team that went 6-4 in 2015. Sanderson, who is 17-17-1 at Levelland, starts his fourth season with the Lobos at home against Muleshoe. The Lobos then play at Shallowater and Andrews, host Brownfield, and play at Snyder before four straight home games against Bushland in the district opener, St. Pius X (non-district), Estacado and Borger. The regular-season ends in Pampa.

Pampa Harvesters — District 1-4A D-I
Harvesters Reap District Title The Harvesters made huge strides in Head Coach Greg Poyner’s second season leading the program. After coming together as a team to claim the school’s first outright district title in two decades, Pampa has every reason to be even more optimistic heading in to 2016. Last season the Harvesters got things started with a (22-15) victory over Amarillo River Road. A pair of tough narrow losses followed to Elk City, Oklahoma (20-22) and Hereford (31-34), but Pampa rebounded with back-to-back wins over Bushland (34-27) and Tulia (59-0). A tight one point loss to Perryton (34-35) left the Harvesters with an even 3-3 mark at the finish of non district play. However Pampa ran the table during the all-important District slate with triumphs over Seminole (55-0), Lubbock Estacado (21-7), Borger (43-21), and Levelland (42-23) for the clean sweep and outright District championship. A big (47-13) Bi-District win over Clint Mountain View extended the Harvester season, but the five game win streak ended with an Area round loss to Mineral Wells (20-41).

A total of eighteen lettermen will return for 2016 giving Pampa plenty of returning experience to build upon last season’s success. Eight starters return to Coordinator Brian Poyner’s Air Raid offense which amassed 1900 rushing yards and over 3200 through the air last season. Jayson Thomas WR (6, 160, 4.42, Sr.) has All-State caliber talent. Coaches describe Thomas as a “Great route runner, with good ball skills, and great hands.” The harvesters have another receiving threat with All-State potential in Brendon Woefle WR (5-8, 160, 4.51, Sr.). Bryce Parker RB (5-9, 165, 4.44, Sr.) is the top returner in the backfield. Jose Miranda, Misael Balderrama, and Corbin Anguino anchor the offensive line. A pair of underclassmen,

Six starters return for Pampa’s 3-3-5 Defense giving coordinator Josh Kelley a solid foundation. Isiah Baggett anchors the d-line, but Jacob Mille should be vital up front as well. Baggett accounted for 68 tackles including 3 QB sacks last season. Bradey Porter LB (6-3, 205, 4.62, Jr.) is an All-State level players with a great nose for the ball and a strong competitive edge to his game.

Andrews Mustangs — District 2-4A D-I
2016 Special Year Some key ingredients returning from a lethal passing attack will make the Andrews Mustangs an automatic threat offensively, and with eight returning starters on defense, the 2016 season could be special for coach Ralph Mason’s program. The 2015 campaign saw Andrews claim an undefeated district championship, a playoff win over Estacado, and a sparkling 10-2 record. “We had an outstanding year influenced by strong leadership that overcame the loss of two key skill teammates on offense and defense,” said Mason, whose team bowed out in the area round to Brownwood, 17-13. “The team was a play or two away from advancing deeper into the playoffs. It was an exceptional year put in by our quarterback and three receivers that put up big numbers in our passing game.” That quarterback, senior Triston Williams (6-3, 180, 4.8), returns to Andrews’ potent spread offense after completing 268-of-433 passes for an incredible 4,348 yards and an amazing 60 touchdowns with only 5 interceptions last season. Almost 1,000 of those yards (971 on 56 catches) and 14 TDs went to senior Keegan

Thompson (5-9, 165, 4.61), who also is back for 2016. “The return of Williams and Thompson should help bring along an offense that will be looking to fill the shoes of some key personnel lost to graduation,” said Mason, who lost 17 players including seven starters on offense. Defensively in Andrews’ 3-4 set, the Mustangs bring back eight regulars and a lot of experience, including senior end Hayden Rochell (6-2, 200, 4.75), who recorded 54 tackles (7 for loss) with 2 sacks, along with linebacker Casey Buck who tallied 89 stops (3 for loss). Other key defensive personnel returning include lineman John Benavides (44 tackles, 2 for loss), linebacker Jovi Lopez (53 tackles), and in the secondary Thompson (57 tackles, 5 INTs), and Marcus Hernandez (61 tackles, 5

INTs). Rochell gives Williams another proven set of hands on offense after he caught 22 passes for 282 yards and 4 scores in 2015. Benavides, a three-year letterwinner, returns up front along with Jayton Miller, whom Mason called “an extremely hard worker,” and Chance Darr, who started near the end of last season. Senior Torey Kelly (5-9, 175, 4.75) returns at running back after being injured most of last season, although as a sophomore he put up 1,181 all-purpose yards and scored 15 TDs. Among the most promising up-and-comers for the Mustangs are junior receiver/defensive back Beau Narrell (6-2, 175, 4.8), junior linebacker Casey Buck (6-1, 180, 4.78) who also punts and averaged almost 34 yards per boot, Jace Keesee and Britin Garcia. In his fifth season at Andrews, Mason – who says he was influenced by such offensive innovators as Mike Leach, Art Briles and Hal Mumme – will be looking to add more “W’s” to his 32-16 at Andrews and repeat as district champs in a league that the coach said “will be much the same as it has been the last two seasons.”

El Paso Clint Lions — District 2-4A D-I
Lions Roaring To Get Back On the Field
The Lions have been steady, consistent winners the eleven seasons Head Coach Rosvel Martinez (77-42) has led the program and 2015 was no exception. Clint finished 6-5 overall and 4-1 in district play but no doubt everyone involved was hoping a deeper playoff run. After a narrow Bi-District loss to Gorger (27-34) the Lions will be looking for more in 2016. Coach Martinez said, “The team worked hard, we just came up a little short. The kids are working hard and that is all we ask as coaches.” Clint returns seven starters to both sides of the ball for 2016. The Lions Wishbone offense works under the tutelage of coordinator John Wilson. The unit racked up 3272 rushing yards last season, but will need to find new rushers this coming season. Sebastian Barraza (5-10,195, Soph.,, RB/LB, 4.7) could be the answer. So could Jahaziel Valdivia (5-10, 145, Soph., RB/DB, 4.7). Up front, Andy Gomez (5-4, 195, Jr., OL, 5.2) anchors the line along with Justin Sosa (6-0, 205, OL/DT, Sr., 4.9) and Raul Dozal. Sal Gonzalez is the most experienced passer and Erik Sanchez provides an experienced receiving threat. Jesus Lopez serves as Clint’s defensive coordinator. The aforementioned Sosa and Brandon Ware (6-0, 185, Sr., DE, 4.8) anchor the defensive line. Nate Lasyone (5-4, 145, Jr., DB, 4.7) leads the secondary. Eddie Guzman is yet another Lion on the roster to keep your eye on for 2016.

Fabens Wildcats — District 2-4A D-I
Wildcats
ready to
In 2015, Fabens had to rely on quite a few youngsters, but this year, those youngsters have turned into veterans. The Wildcats graduated only 9 lettermen from last season’s team and are returning 21, including 8 starters on each side of the ball. Second-year head coach Robert Herrera expects the young athletes from a year ago to step up this season, and the hope is Fabens’ spread offense will be able to generate more than it did in 2015, when it totaled only 1,725 combined yards. If that is to happen, the Wildcats’ skill positions will need to be much more efficient, and they should see more continued consistency from wide receiver Josh Ochoa. Ochoa caught 34 passes for 365 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2015. The top three offensive linemen returning are 3 players who possess the ability to control the line of scrimmage. Those three are seniors Gabriel Nevarez and Adrian Sanchez, and junior Gabriel Garcia. Defensively, Sanchez and Bryan Saucedo will provide the bulk on Fabens’ defensive line, while Adrian Morales and Ricky Morales are the team’s top 2 returning linebackers. In the secondary, 2 defensive backs to keep tabs on are Jeffery Spence and Chris Muzio. Last year, Spence totaled 23 tackles, 1 fumble, 2 interceptions and 2 defensive TDs, and Muzio recorded 54 tackles and 3 interceptions. Three underclassmen to watch will be junior running back/wide receiver Juan Velasquez (5-7, 140), junior quarterback/linebacker Ricardo Morales (5-9, 177) and junior defensive back Angel Sierra (5-11, 185).

Brownfield Cubs — District 1-4A D-II
Cubs Looking For 5 Straight The Brownfield Cubs have made the playoffs the past four seasons, and with enviable experience returning in 2016 there’s no reason to think they won’t make it five straight. About half of last year’s roster returns from a team that went (8-2-1), including (4-1) in district that preceded a narrow (42-41) bi-district loss to Littlefield. “Last year’s team was a very good ball club,” said head coach Bryan Welps. “They played hard and had great senior leadership. The team improved every week and stayed on path all year. The team was one that made history with one of the best records in school history.” Included among 17 returning letter winners are 8 starters on offense and 6 on defense. “This will be a very talented team with strong holdovers that will be able to lead while we fill some holes left from departing seniors. We’ll also have some very talented newcomers,” said Welps, who in

five years at Brownfield is (27-27-1) with a 17-year career record of (76-102-1). “Our team will have a lot of athletic ability and should be competitive in 1-4A. Our team will be built with speed and athleticisim, and we will have to overcome size and depth in some big positions.” The Cubs will look to seniors Dakota Oliver and Jezreel Griffin along with juniors Jaelyn Nolan and Isiah Hood. Nolan (6-4, 185, 4.51) returns to quarterback Brownfield’s spread offense after last year completing (135-of-234) passes for 2,590 yards with 27 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He also ran for 1,025 yards and 19 TDs on 103

carries plus had 251 yards and a pair of scores in the return game. “Jaelyn is a very gifted athlete and one of the best quarterbacks in the state,” Welps said. “He has great arm strength and mechanics and is the top dual threat in the area.” Nolan also kicks (30-of-36 PATs) and punts (37.3yard average). Snapping the ball to Nolan will be center Oliver (6-3, 255, 4.95), a two-time all-stater and three-time all-district first-teamer who in 2015 was named to the Lone Star Super Team after grading out at 93 percent. Catching the ball from Nolan will be all-state receiver Griffin (6-4, 185, 4.61),

After homecoming against Kermit, district play begins on the road against Denver City. Brownfield’s open weeks follows, then it’s home against Perryton, at Dalhart and home against Bushland. Welps called the next district “very competitive. There are many traditionally strong football programs. It will be a tough district and one with many good, hard-fought games on Friday nights in October. We need to get off to a good start and keep the tradition rolling.”

Bushland Falcons — District 1-4A D-II
Falcons Could End 1st Decade with District Crown Heading into it its tenth season, the Bushland football program is established as a perennial playoff participant. The Falcons have swooped into the post-season eight times in their first nine seasons, including the last four in a row. Last year Head Coach Jimmy Thomas saw his team finish (4-7) overall and (2-2) against district competition. Bushland’s playoff run ended early with a bi-district loss to Monahans. This season the Falcons return just 15 lettermen, including five starters on offense and three first-stringers on defense. Thomas said his third Bushland squad should feature a good blend of tested upperclassmen and inexperienced newcomers. They will also compete in a revamped district against league regulars Perryton and Dalhart and new challengers from Denver City and Brownfield. “We had a great season last year and overcame a lot of injuries,” Thomas said. “This year we are excited about the leadership of our senior class. District 1-4A will be competitive, but we expect to be in the hunt for the district title.”

Erik Smith
On offense, the Falcons will rely on two of the league’s top returning skill position players, running back Bostyn Andrews and receiver Gage Climer. Last year Andrews earned an all-district first team spot by racking up 1,149 yards and 6 TDs on 239 carries to become the school’s first ever 1,000-yard rusher. He also averaged 42.6 yards per punt and was named the league’s special teams MVP. Climer was singled out as the district’s top newcomer in 2015. His numbers included 30 catches for 413 yards and 7 scores. The responsibility for getting the ball to Andrews and Climer in Bushland’s multiple set attack will likely come down to a battle between senior Cameron Thomas and upstart junior Colton Moore. Both players lack big game

experience, though Cameron Thomas did get his varsity feet wet in 2015 by completing 5 of 8 passes for 43 yards and 2 touchdowns. Up front, the Falcons will lean on a trio of returning senior starters Erik Smith, Jaren Alvarado and Zach Zacardo. Smith (6-3, 260) was a unanimous all-district first teamer as a junior and also earned all-state honorable mention. Promising junior newcomer John Lamanteer could also provide plenty of push on the offensive line. On Bushland’s retooling defense, senior linebacker Wes Hill is the unit’s most experienced holdover. Last season Hill registered 48 tackles, 12 stops behind the line and a quarterback sack.

Senior placekicker John Hames is also back to give the Falcons another special teams weapon. Last season he hit 30 of 42 extra point attempts and booted 2 of 4 field goal tries through the uprights. The 2016 season begins for Bushland with an Aug. 26 home test against two-time defending state champion Canadian. After traveling to Amarillo for a Sept. 1 contest against Caprock, they return to the home turf for a Sept. 9 visit from Borger. Their remaining non-district slate includes visits to Palo Duro Sept. 16 and Levelland Sept. 30 and a Sept. 23 home tussle against Pampa. The Falcons’ flight through District 1-4A begins with an Oct. 7 home battle versus Perryton and an Oct. 14 trip to Dalhart. They wrap up league play by hosting Denver City on Oct. 28 and visiting Brownfield on Nov.4.

Dalhart Golden Wolves — District 1-4A D-II
Defense Key For Dalhart After a one-year absence, Dalhart returned to the playoffs last season under the direction of first-year head coach Joey Read. The Golden Wolves finished 2-2 in district play to earn their ninth post-season appearance in 10 seasons before a bi-district loss to Sweetwater ended their 5-5 campaign. In his second year at Dalhart, Read will undertake a reloading project. The Wolves do return 6 starters to their 3-4 defensive set, but just 1 first teamer is back to run Read’s ball control Wing-T offensive attack that ground up opposing defenses for 2,008 rushing yards in 2015. D.J. Wright, Dalhart’s defensive coordinator, will field a unit that could include two of the district’s top linebackers in senior Kodiak Martinez and classmate Matthew Castillo. Martinez collected 115 total tackles last season, including 15 stops behind the line of scrimmage and 5 quarterback sacks. He also recovered 3 fumbles and landed a spot on the all-district first team as an outside linebacker. Castillo proved to be an effective inside

complement to Martinez by racking up 97 total tackles, 7 for loss and 2 sacks. Those numbers earned him an all-league second team nod. The Wolves’ defensive backfield will feature a pair of talented returnees in seniors D.J. Petties (62 tackles, 2 interceptions) and Devon Limas (37 tackles). Petties was an all-district second team selection as a junior. Dalhart’s up front efforts will be spearheaded by senior returnee Jaidan Puga. Last season Puga registered 40 tackles, 5 stops for loss and 1 sack en route to all-district second team honors. On the other side the ball, offensive coordinator Trevor Scott will see plenty of new faces executing the Wolves’ run-oriented attack. The team’s top skill

Last year he picked up 295 yards and 3 touchdowns on 65 carries. Lujan, who earned a spot on the all-district second team defense at cornerback, is one of the Wolves’ top candidates for the starting quarterback spot. Last season he completed 50 of 99 passes for 511 yards and 3 TDs. Dalhart’s 2016 season opens with an Aug. 26 road trip to Borger.

Denver City Mustangs — District 1-4A D-II
Fontenot Leads Denver City To New Places
After serving as Denver City’s offensive coordinator, Daniel Fontenot takes over as the Mustangs’ head coach, stepping in for current athletic director Steve Taylor in what is shaping up to be a rebuilding year for a team embarking on new surroundings. Twenty-seven players were lost off last year’s roster, leaving only a dozen returning. Of the veterans, just two started on offense and three on defense from a team that went 6-5, defeating Childress in bi-district, 34-31, before falling in the second round of the state playoffs for the second straight year to eventual state champion Brock. “That was a very good group of young men,” Fontenot said of last year’s Mustangs. While Fontenot is new to being in charge in Denver City, he’s previously served as a head coach for 12 years, forging a 95-32 record. “We will have to try and replace an entire group of graduates. I am excited to see the young men working hard in preparation for this task,” the new coach said. “We will have to get a very good group of JV players ready for their varsity roles.” Among the players the Mustangs will have to find a replacement for is quarterback Cole McLeroy, a task that likely will fall on Holden Sutton (5-10, 155) and Damien

Guiterrez (5-10, 145.) Sutton threw for 140 yards last year. Taking lots of pressure off the new quarterback in the Mustangs’ Gun offense will be running back Wesley Newberry (5-10, 165), who in 2015 ran for 265 yards and 2 touchdowns on 40 carries. Joel Gomez (5-8, 165) will join Newberry in the backfield. Another comfort for the rookie QB will be receiver Matthew De Larosa (5-7, 145), who was good for 20 catches and 310 yards a year ago. Up front, the Mustangs will be young and green, although guys like Brandon Pierce (6, 225) and Dorian Soto (5-8, 225) show lots of promise. Lineman Alexis Gonzales (5-10, 220) gives Denver City an experienced kicker. As for Denver City’s new surroundings, the Mustangs move from Class 3A to 4A for at least the next two seasons, facing a far-reaching district that includes

Perryton, Bushland, Dalhart and Brownfield, the team Fontenot feels is the team to beat. “Moving into 4A will be a challenge in itself,” Fontenot said. “The district we have been in with Shallowater and Brownfield has been very competitive. We are looking forward to a very good and competitive district.”

Perryton Rangers — District 1-4A D-II
Rangers Have Same Goals And A New Course The Perryton Rangers have won seven ballgames in three of each of the last four seasons. And they have done some playing a tough schedule so the program has nothing to hang its head about. But change is coming to Perryton as Steven Coursey takes over the Head Coaching position for 2016 after serving as an assistant in the program for four seasons. The last two of which he served as offensive coordinator. A solid core of 18 lettermen are back including nine starters from offense and eight from defense. Reflecting on last season, Coach Coursey said, “We played a lot of kids in 2015 that were unproven. It took a while for them to get adjusted to the varsity level, but they are very talented and came together for a great playoff run. Our few seniors that we had, did a good job of leading by example on the field.” The Rangers began with a loss to Dumas (19-30) before bouncing back with a (30-22) over Childress. A couple of losses during a tough stint in the schedule followed to Canadian (0-44) and Muleshoe (37-52). Perryton closed out non district

with consecutive victories over Borger (44-19) and Pampa (35-34). District play got started with a tough but important win over Bushland (34-28). Back-to-back losses to Iowa Park (35-42) and Vernon (10-28) left the Rangers in a hole but they dug themselves out with a (45-14) win over Dalhart to qualify for the postseason for the fifth year in a row.

Torres K (6-0, 145, 4.98, Sr.) is another key cog for the Rangers. Torress made 37-39 PAT attempts last season and also went 7-9 on field goals including a season long of 47yards. Other key players to watch include Nick Watts WR/ LB (5-11, 155, 4.8, Sr.) and Clay Feger WR/S (5-10, 4.7, Sr.).

The 2016 season comes with a new schedule thanks to realignment and Coach Coursey discussed the challenges. “The district will be extremely competitive. Bushland had to deal with a lot of injuries last year, but they will be very tough. Dalhart is always a very physical team that is very well coached. Brownfield and Denver City are new to the district and we don’t know a whole lot about either one of them, but we do know that Brownfield has one of the most athletic QBs in the state. It will be a tough district!”

Cut in
Path 2016
a
It’s never easy going through a winless season, but Lamesa Head Coach Tim James knows things can turn around quickly in the world of high school football. It’s the kind of glass-is-half-full thinking he likely learned from coaching mentors like Steve Taylor, Mike Wartes, Lester Kirkland and Don Cumpton. “We had a tough year last year but I think it is going to help us become a better team this season,” James said. After leaving Lamesa for seven years, James returned last season for his second tour of duty with the program. This time, it almost feels like a family reunion. “I am very blessed to be back in Lamesa,” James said. “I have some great coaches on our staff and they all do a great job. I am also very fortunate to have my oldest son and my nephew on staff. This is really a blessing to get to coach with them and the rest of these great men.” Although the Golden Tornadoes struggled to put points on the scoreboard last year, James thinks the team’s attitude and work ethic leading up to 2016 show they are ready to turn a corner. “We are very excited about this season,” James said. “The young men have bought into what we are doing and they are working very hard to get this program headed in the right direction. These young men are not afraid of hard work and they know it is a key ingredient to our success.” Despite returning six starters on both sides of the ball and 16 total lettermen, Lamesa will still have

a relatively young roster. James said depth could play a factor against solid District 2-4A competition. “Our district is going to be extremely tough again this year, and we added Seminole, so that only makes it tougher,” James said. “It will be a battle every Friday night because there are some great players and coaches in this district.” On offense, the Golden Tornadoes will have junior quarterback Demetri Rodriguez back under center. Rodriguez is also expected to claim a starting spot on defense in the secondary. The Lamesa backfield will also feature junior running back Buddy Williams, who earned an alldistrict first team nod last season as a sophomore. The offensive line could be the Golden Tornadoes most experienced unit with the return of seniors Moses Rodriguez (5-8, 234), Seth Zepeda (5-10, 210) and Jake Cisneros (5-7, 214). Moses Rodriguez missed last season with a hip injury and James said the team is looking forward to having him back at guard in 2016. Zapata, who will start at center, should also be a leader for the defense at linebacker where he earned all-district second team honors last year. He’s also expected to handle the team’s placekicking chores. The defensive line also returns a pair of experienced performers in junior defensive end Zane Paulk and sophomore defensive tackle Ivien Gonzalez. Junior holdover Noe Gonzalez is also back to lend a hand at linebacker.

Monahans Loboes — District 2-4A D-II
Monahans Looking
for
It might take a little work, but the Monahans Loboes have a shot at doing some good things in 2016. “We will be young early, but we have a chance to be good,” coach Mickey Owens predicted. “Good” likely means a 12 th consecutive trip to the state playoffs. No. 11 last year saw the Loboes post a 7-5 record, which included a 40-14 bi-district win over Bushland then a 49-21 loss to state runner-up Celina in the area round. Exactly half of last year’s 46-player roster is back, featuring four starters on offense and five on defense. Add reinforcements off last year’s undefeated junior varsity team, and maybe a few off a 7-2 freshman squad, and Owens will positively add to his impressive 103-35 record at Monahans over the last decade. Monahans sports a trio of returning all-district first teamers in senior offensive lineman Jace McKee, junior kicker David Birdwell, and senior linebacker Ish Marquez. McKee (6-0, 260, 5.36) recorded 69 knockdowns and 27 pancake blocks in 2015. The multi-talented Birdwell (5-10, 150, 4.62) successfully booted 50-of-57 PATs while averaging 25 yards per kick return and 15 per punt return. From his spot in the secondary, Birdwell chalked up 71 tackles (4 TFLs), 4 break-ups and a pair of picks to earn second-team all-loop honors. He lines up at a receiver on offense. Marquez (5-9, 190, 4.68), who had 77 tackles (14 TFLs), 5 hurries and 5 fumble recoveries/causes a year ago, heads up an experienced linebacking crew that includes seniors Ronin Williams (5-9, 200) and Seth Hogan (5-9, 180, 4.60). Williams tallied 79 tackles (18 TFLs), 8 sacks and 10 hurries in earning second-team all-district honors while Hogan was honorable mention AD for his 61 tackles (7 TFLs), 2 sacks and 2 interceptions. Hogan ran for 249 yards and 3 touchdowns on offense, where senior Neeko Arredondo (5-8, 160, 4.5) is the feature back after gaining 965 yards and 7 touchdowns on 134 carries along with 242 yards and 3 TDs on 14 receptions to be named secondteam all-district. Arredondo also starts in the secondary where he made a dozen tackles with 4 pass break-ups. Joining McKee up front will be seniors Trenton Granado (5-8, 275, 5.84) who had 76 knockdowns and 28 pancakes, Malcolm Montez (6-1, 325, 6.04) who had 58 knockdowns and 21 pancakes, and tight end Trevor Doege (6-4, 205), along with juniors Corbie Navarrette (4.95) at tight end, Jordan Munoz (6-0, 245, 5.65) and Chris Samaniego (6-3, 305, 5.58). “We have three offensive linemen back and our tailback. That’s a good starting point. We must develop a quarterback and a few receivers,” said Owens. Junior Dante Griner (5-7, 145, 4.79) is among the signalcaller candidates for Monahans’ Wing T/Spread offenses, while senior receiver Auden Hernandez (6-0, 160, 4.92) and junior running back Tylan McCallister (5-7, 180, 4.60) will be other skill position contributors. McCallister and senior Devon Almanza (5-4, 125, 4.75), who also plays in the secondary, combined to rush for almost 500 yards last season. Expected to contribute on defense will be junior end Miguel Marmolejo (5-7, 165, 5.00), junior tackle Alec Gonzales (5-7, 220, 5.6) and junior linebacker Matteo

The season opens at home Aug. 26 against Wall. Back-to-back trips to Canyon and Big Spring follow before the Loboes return home to face Andrews. District opens in Seminole prior to an open week, then it’s home against Greenwood, at Pecos, home against Lamesa, at Sweetwater in a game that could decide the league title, then home to face Fort Stockton in the regular-season finale. “We will be a little inexperienced early,” Owens said, “but with a strong kicking game, and barring any major injuries, we should be OK.”

Pecos Eagles — District 2-4A D-II
Eagles Looking to Upgrade in 2016 After being a middle-of-the-road team in 2015, the Pecos Eagles look to upgrade in 2016, thanks in large part to 13 returning starters and reinforcements from an eight-win junior varsity team a year ago. The Eagles were 5-3 at one point last season before dropping their last 3 games, including a 63-42 bi-district game to Iowa Park, to finish 5-6. Twenty-one players – including receiver Silver Ramirez, center Michael Delgado and safety Brandon Gonzales – graduated off that squad, leaving 19 lettermen including 7 starters on offense and 6 regulars on defense. Among the starters back in Pecos’ potent Spread Wing-T offense is quarterback Bubba Henson (5-11, 185, 4.58). A junior, Henson is back for his third year under center after last season passing for 2,496 yards and 28 touchdowns (153-316-17) and rushing for 923 yards and 11 scores. Henson will have a talented group of receivers at his disposal, including junior E.J. Garcia (5-9, 145, 4.73) who caught 30 passes for 376 yards and 6 TDs, senior Geovannie Ortiz (5-10, 145, 4.69) who had 22 catches for 295 yards, and senior Angel Huerta-Rincon (5-8, 145, 4.69). The Eagles will sport a veteran offensive line headed by three-year senior starters Justin Rayos (5-11, 230, 5.2) and Johnny Maldonado (6-0, 250, 5.3) and junior Samuel Soto (5-11, 265, 5.42) who has moved from guard to center after last season producing 84 drives, 39 knockdowns and 11 pins. Rayos finished the year with 69 drives, 61 knockdowns and 28 pins, while Maldonado recorded 71 drives, 40 knockdowns and 16 pins. Coach Henson, who is 49-55 in 10 years at Pecos with an overall coaching record of 72-63, said one question mark for the Eagles is running back, where junior Derick Jaso (5-11, 165) is looking to fill the spot. Jaso is one of three starting linebackers returning, along with junior Pablo Hidalgo and senior Jesus Patino. Hidalgo (5-11, 190, 4.94) is the team’s top returning tackler with 108 stops (5 TFLs), 2 fumble recoveries and 2 caused fumbles in 2015 while Jaso had 47 tackles and Patino (6-0, 190) 32 halts. Three other junior regulars also return, including E.J. Garcia and Henson in the secondary

and Jonathan Garcia (6-0, 190, 4.84) at end. Jonathan Garcia was good for 56 tackles (13 TFLs), 7 sacks and 2 fumble causes a year ago while E.J. Garcia was in on 54 tackles from his free safety spot and Henson 20 tackles at strong safety in Pecos’ 3-4 alignment. The Eagles have some holes to fill along the front lines, with Coach Henson giving the nod to seniors Abel Melendez (5-10, 230, 5.3), Lucas Delgado (5-11, 225, 5.8) and Cody Maledon (5-10, 200) to get most of the reps. Jonathan Garcia also handles kicking chores, last year making 34 PATs and a 30-yard field goal while averaging just over 40 yards a punt. Among the players off last year’s JV squad expected to contribute on Friday nights in 2016 are junior quarterback/free safety Raul Modesto (5-8, 160, 4.82), whom Coach Henson called “a great athlete,” and Julian Gervacio (5-10, 225, 5.61) and Ricky Rosalez (5-10, 230, 5.48), both of whom should start at guard. Following scrimmages with Big Spring and Snyder, the Eagles gets things rolling Aug. 26 against Brady in a game to be played at Big Lake. After a trip to Kermit,

Seminole Indians — District 1-4A D-I
Drums Of War Sound as the Indians Take the Warpath
Kent Jackson’s first two seasons as head coach of the Seminole Indians didn’t turn so well. After winning four games in 2014, the Indians managed just one victory a year ago when they were hit with a rash of key injuries. But Jackson, who owns a career record of 137-106-1, hopes a turnaround is in the making, primarily due to 31 returning lettermen and reinforcements from a junior varsity team that won half of its games in 2015. Ten starters are back on offense and nine on defense from last year’s varsity team which lost only seven players to graduation, among them backs Mikey Nelson and Dustin Neufeld, tight end Colton Kissick and lineman Trevin Harris. Seminole’s success may revolve around junior Reese Moore, (6-5, 235) end who also punts. Last season in nine games (ankle injury), Moore, a unanimous all-district tight end, caught 14 passes including 2 touchdowns while grading out at 81 percent with 42 knockdowns and 4 pancakes. As a defensive end he recorded 21.5 tackles (10 solo, 3 TFL) and was an honorable mention all-state punter, averaging 42.5 yards per try. Anchoring the offensive line at center for the fourth year will be senior Morgan Davidson (5-11, 235), who was honorable mention all-loop in 2015 when he allowed only 1 sack while grading out at 83 percent with 90 knockdowns and 21 pancakes. Joining Davidson up front are junior Johnny Fehr (6-3, 260), senior Brett Saril (6-0, 240) and sophomore Rusty Froese (5-10, 205). Fehr graded out at 78 percent with

63 knockdowns, 18 pancakes and 2 allowed sacks, while on defense made 10 tackles (2 solo). Returning in the backfield to quarterback Seminole’s spread option offense is honorable mention all-district senior Brett Hicks (6-0, 165), who in five games before breaking his collar bone completed (75-of-148) passes for 1,106 yards with 8 touchdowns and 5 interceptions while rushing for 494 yards and three scores in 2015. Also in the backfield of Seminole’s 3-4 defense will be junior Ransom Edwards (5-9, 150), who in seven games (broken wrist) in the secondary recorded 76 .5 tackles (55 solo, 3 TFL) and 2 sacks.

receiver for his 42 catches for 625 yards and three TDs. Senior Jarryd Karr (6-1, 180) totaled almost 700 rushing/ passing/receiving yards and five touchdowns to earn honorable mention all-district running honors. He also chalked up 40 tackles (28 solo, 3TFL) and recovered 3 fumbles as a defensive end. Other key returners include seniors Blake Domingus (5-11, 155) and Matt McGuire (5-6, 165) at receiver and defensive back, junior Daniel Grade (5-11, 225) at running back and defensive lineman, and junior Aron Dominguez (5-7, 165) at running back, linebacker and returner after averaging over 20 yards per return. Among the newcomers expected to contribute are sophomores James Hurston (6-0, 165) at receiver and defensive back and Jordan Rodriguez (5-10, 175) at quarterback and linebacker. Jackson said the Indians lack overall size but look to take advantage of their team speed and athleticism as Seminole sets the table for a turnaround.

Sweetwater Mustangs — District 2-4A D-II
Mustangs Lead Sweetwater has been on the brink of greatness for the previous two years, and 2016 appears just as bright. After four consecutive 4-6 seasons from 2010-13, the Mustangs have won 25 of 27 and have at least reached the regional round of the postseason two years in a row. Sweetwater graduated 18 lettermen from last season’s team, but it returns 20. While some holes will need to be filled defensively, its offense – which racked up 5,986 yards a year ago – appears to be special, once again. Junior Chris Thompson (5-10,160) returns to spearhead the Mustangs’ spread offense at quarterback. He threw for 1,721 yards and 21 touchdowns with 8 interceptions while completing 131 of 201 passes in 2015, and he also rushed for 631 yards and 10 TDs on 95 carries. Thompson’s top target will be senior wide receiver Jordan McGee (5-9,165). McGee caught 28 passes for 356 yards and 7 TDs a season ago. Sweetwater’s ground attack should perfectly compliment its aerial assault, as senior Jacoby Hunt (5-9,185) is a returning 1,000-yard rusher with big-play ability. Hunt racked up 1,194 yards on the ground with 10 touchdowns on 180 attempts. Three linemen who will be an integral part of the execution of the Red and White’s offense are senior Carlos Gallegos (5-10,260), Jorge Vazquez and Tate Rainey. Sweetwater’s defense will look for some kids to step up and fill in on the line, but senior Hunter Mobley (5-11, 165) and Hunt are two linebackers who should shine. Mobley collected 167 tackles – 13 for a loss – and 4 sacks with 2 fumbles and 1 interception last year, and Hunt had 54 tackles, 5 sacks, 1 fumble and 1 interception. Senior Michael Green (6-1,165) and Lowell Williams are 2 standouts in the secondary. Green registered 56 tackles, 2 fumbles, 7 interceptions and 1 defensive touchdown last season, and Williams recorded 36 tackles, 2 fumbles, 4 interceptions and 1 defensive TD of his own. Three underclassmen to keep an eye on are junior Kiante McCoy (5-11,170), sophomore Carson Brownlow (6-2,170) and junior Kobe Clark (5-10,150). The Mustangs are scheduled to open the season at home against Wichita Falls on Aug. 26. They will open play in District 2-4A, Division II at home against Pecos on Sept. 23, and their season finale will be on the road at Greenwood on Nov. 4.

Bridgeport Bulls — District 3-4A D-II
Bulls Hunker Down A quick review of Bridgeport’s 2015 football season appears to show a team that put together a middle-of-theroad campaign. The Bulls’ 5-5 overall finish included a 1-4 mark against district competition that led to just the third post-season miss for the program in the last decade. A closer look, however, shows that only a pair of heartbreaking losses late in the season (20-14 to Aubrey and 24-21 to Anna) kept Bridgeport at home for the playoffs. “The 2015 season was very frustrating,” Head Coach Danny Henson said. “After a nice 4-0 start to the season, we hit some adversity that we could never overcome. A rash of key injuries and some very tough district losses to some good teams kept us out of the playoffs.” This year Henson will welcome back just 4 starters on offense. Though he’ll have to be patient with an inexperienced quarterback and offensive line, he will also have 8 starters back on defense and several other players who picked up game experience due to the 2015 injury bug. “The defense has a lot of experience and they need to play well while an inexperienced offense finds their way,” Henson added. The Bulls’ top returning defenders include seniors Abe Huerta and Regi Lane. Huerta, who is expected to move to outside linebacker after two seasons as a starting safety, racked up 86 tackles and 3 interceptions last season to earn a spot on the alldistrict first team in the secondary for the second year in a row. Lane, an inside linebacker, registered 81 total tackles and 5 stops for loss to garner all-league second team recognition. Henson said senior Bryan Munn and sophomore Christian Hand got valuable experience last year at the outside linebacker spot. In the secondary, senior returnees Chase Williams, Casey Riggs and Efrain DeLuna are all back and give Bridgeport one of the league’s most experienced defensive backfields. Williams started the first three games in 2015 before going down for the year with a broken ankle. DeLuna will also handle the Bulls’ kicking chores. Last season he hit 38 of 42 extra point attempts and 1 of field goal tries. Junior DB Steele Pena (3 interceptions) played a variety of roles as a sophomore and should be back in the mix this season. Senior inside linebacker Marcos DeLuna is also back after posting 73 tackles last year. On the defensive line, senior Demitri Hendrick (5-11, 235), classmate Jake Martinez (5-7, 195) and junior Eric Stonechek (6-3, 265) all started at least half of the Bulls’ games last season and should see increased duties this year. On offense, Bridgeport returns three skill players who

Henson also expects senior fullback Bryce Powers and junior running back Cole Barton to also play key roles in the backfield. At quarterback, sophomore Jason Faulkenberry picked up some playing time last season and is the leading candidate to land the starting job. His freshman contributions included 27 completions for 273 yards and 3 touchdowns. Up front, senior Nate Ramirez leads a band of linemen with little or no varsity experience. The group also includes seniors Alex Ureste, Tyler Banner and Haden Snodgrass and junior Caleb Jennings. “These guys will need to learn to play with the guys moving up from the JV to shore up the offensive line,” Henson said. Bridgeport kicks off the 2016 season with an Aug. 26 home game against Mineral Wells.

Iowa Park Hawks — District 3-4A D-II
Hawks In New District Over the last two years, Iowa Park has had a brutal district schedule, more so due to travel than anything else. The Hawks had to travel way out northwest to the Texas Panhandle for league games against Dalhart, Bushland and Perryton. But it didn’t stop them from going 15-10 overall and reaching the postseason both years. Thankfully, the University Interscholastic League made travel much easier for Iowa Park for the upcoming 2016-17 seasons, as they have been placed in District 4-4A, Division II with Bridgeport, Graham, Krum and Vernon. With a better traveling schedule that should keep them from being so weary and a strong core of players returning, the Hawks appear to be a serious threat not only to their new league, but to those they may face in the Class 4A, D-II playoffs, as well. A big name to watch in Iowa Park’s spread offensive scheme is running back Bowie Franks. A year ago, the senior racked up 1,772 rushing yards on 250 carries with 17 touchdowns. The Hawks are also returning a talented two-way player in senior Colton Dickerson. Dickerson carried the ball 53 times for 347 yards and 4 TDs while catching 21 passes for 235 yards and 1 touchdown offensively, and he also registered 86 tackles in the team’s 4-3 defense. Two seniors looking to anchor Iowa Park’s offensive line are Conner Rhoades and J.T. Fallon. Two juniors to keep tabs on are linebackers Hunter Bagley and Branden Brewer. Bagley registered 78 tackles last season, while Brewer collected 55 tackles of his own. Sophomore Jeremiah Stanley is a promising newcomer to keep an eye on. Stanley started six games as a freshman in 2015 at center. Other prospects for the Hawks, according to thirdyear head coach Aubrey Sims, are Dylan Meyer, Jay Schweiger, Nathan Eaves, Chris Edwards, Zac Schmoker and Brady Brinkman.

Krum Bobcats — District 3-4A D-II
B obcats L ooking F or M ore T han A K rum in 2016
The Krum football program has came a long way in a short time and given the success of last season and a strong returning class for Head Coach Gary Robinson and staff, the Bobcat faithful are expecting another great season. Krum began 2015 riding a three year playoff streak, including their first ever postseason victory the season before. Even with that momentum the Bobcats dropped the opener to Pilot Point (6-20). Krum bounced back to knock Venus down (35-13) before dropping a close one to Sanger (14-16). A shutout win over Paradise (47-0) followed but again the Bobcats stumbled in a close loss (17-20) in the final non-district game against Boyd. When the games mattered most, Krum took fire by winning three out of five. The Bobcats beat Bridgeport (40-14), fell to Aubrey (21-47), took down Anna (40-14), bested Bonham, and fell to Celina (14-69) in the regular season finale. Come postseason Krum claimed the school’s second playoff victory with a (28-0) shutout win over Godley. A win over Iowa Park (35-21) advanced Krum to the Regional round for the first time ever. But the winning did not stop there as the Bobcats gained another impressive shutout win over Sweetwater (31-0). That sent Krum on to the Quarterfinals where they faced district rival Celina. Again the Bobcats fell to their old foe (13-42) but Krum exceeded all expectations on the year by advancing that far so early in the program’s progress. “Last year’s team went above and beyond all expectations,” Coach Robinson said. “We have a lot of seniors that have a lot of experience, so I look for us to have a strong team.” Krum returns 24 lettermen including 8 starters on offense and 7 on defense.

fills same role for Krum’s 3-3 Style defense. Krum will need to find a new QB, but Haeden Knight (5-10, 175, RB) is back after rushing for 1179 yards and 8 TDs last season.

(6-5, 274, Sr., OL, 5.2) is a three year starter with All-State caliber talent. Other key offensive linemen for Krum are Evan Shipley and Travis Draper. Raymond Borrington (6-4, 215, Sr., DE, 4.8) and Kota are the anchors with experience on the defensive line. The linebacking corps is particularly strong with Colton Spradley (6, 210, Sr., 4.7) and Ryan Gipson (6-1, 210, Sr., 4.9) both possessing All-State level talent. The secondary will be comprised of new faces for Krum, but as the program builds there are more and more capable players to fill holes. Other key Bobcats to watch for 2016 include Trent McMillan (6-2, 210, Sr., QB, 4.65), Caleb Shertz (6-4, 170, Jr., CB, 4.57), Donald Brown (5-10, 170, Jr., RB, 4.65) and Preston Shifflett. The 2016 and run for fifth straight playoff appearance begins August 26 with a home game versus Pilot Point. Back-to Back road games, at OD Wyatt September 03 and at Sanger September 09 are followed by home battles against Lake Worth September 16 and Ranchview September 23. The bobcats travel to Royce City to face Pleasant Grove in the non district finale September 30. The season begins in earnest at Iowa Park October 07 with the onset of District play. Krum will host Bridgeport October 14 and go to Graham October 21. Following a late open week, the season will wrap up at home versus Vernon November 04.

Vernon Lions — District 3-4A D-II
Lions Look
to
Roar Back
When Vernon left the gridiron for the final time last season, they did so with a (3-7) overall record and (1-3) district mark. The salt in the Lions’ wound: it was a onepoint, (15-14) loss to Dalhart in the league opener that left them without a playoff invitation for the first time since 2011. This year, Vernon and Head Coach Mark Bateman will have 14 lettermen back, including seven starters on both sides of the ball. Though he still needs to find a quarterback to orchestrate his wing-T offense, Bateman believes the experienced roster gives the Lions an excellent opportunity to return to the post-season jungle. “I think our team will be stronger on both sides of the ball with the number of returning starters we have,” Bateman said. “The biggest question mark is the quarterback position because we have no one that has taken a varsity snap.” Whoever emerges from pre-season drills as the Lions’ signal caller will be handing the pigskin to junior fullback Brent McCallum, one of the top runners in the area. As a sophomore, McCallum carried the ball 210 times for 1,450 yards and 16 touchdowns to earn league offensive most valuable player honors. “Brent is a very gifted runner,” Bateman said. “He’s strong and he has good moves.” The Vernon backfield also returns all-district first team tailback Jordan Villalobos and classmate Chaz Smith. Villalobos, (5-9, 155 4.6) picked up 480 yards and 6 TDs on just 77 carries in 2015. His 2 interceptions on defense also helped him garner an all-league first team spot at safety. Smith pitched in with 406 yards and 2 scores on 48 carries. He also picked off 4 passes on defense and landed the all-district first team utility player nod. “Chaz is very athletic and could be a difference maker on both sides of the ball,” Bateman said. The Lions should also benefit from the return of seniors Bryson Hall and Donnell Kendricks and junior Ryan Powell. Hall 6 receptions, 132 yards, 2 TDs was an all-district second teamer at wide receiver and defensive back last season. He also brought home all-league first team recognition by averaging 41.3 yards on 27 kicks. “Bryson is a very gifted receiver, though he could be our quarterback this year,” Bateman added. “He could also be a Division I college punter.” Bateman described Kendricks as an extremely quick and strong player who could a difference maker on defense. Last year Kendricks recorded 79 tackles and 6 sacks to claim an all-district second team spot at defensive end.

Powell split time at outside linebacker with fellow junior T.J. Story and still managed to bring home all-district second team kudos. Other players who should play big roles for the 2016 Lions include senior linebacker Juan Salazar 9 tackles, 1 sack and a fumble recovery in 2015, returning offensive line starter Preston Newman (6-1, 255, Jr.) and senior allleague second team placekicker Mauricio Gonzalez 26 of 28 extra point tries, 2 of 3 field attempts.

Friona Chieftains— District 1-3A D-I
Chieftains On War Path From the mid-1990s until 2009, Friona was a consistent post-season football participant. However, since that time the program has hit a bump in the road to the playoffs. Last season the Chieftains put up a (2-8) overall mark and finished (0-5) in district play to miss out on postseason action for the fifth time in the last six seasons. Despite those results, head coach Jimmy Arias, saw some encouraging signs that could lead Friona back in 2016. “We were young and learning a new system,” Arias explained. “The kids fought hard every game and made Friona proud.” As he begins making plans for his second year leading the Chieftains, Arias likes the team’s overall speed, though he’d like to sprinkle in some additional size. He expects to have seven starters back to run his I-formation offense under the direction of coordinator Daniel Rosales and eight first-teamers returning to the 3-4 defensive unit he coordinates himself. Arias also expects Friona to face rugged competition in a district that was reshaped by UIL realignment. The

league still includes 2015 postseason qualifiers Littlefield, Muleshoe and River Road, but newcomers Shallowater and Slaton have replaced Childress and Dimmitt. Last season Shallowater advanced to the state quarterfinals and Slaton made it to the bi-district round. “It’s a very tough district with three perennial powers in Shallowater, Muleshoe and Littlefield,” Arias said. “It will be tough and we need to play mistake-free football to win district games. We hope our speed helps us be in every game.” Arias said Friona’s top skill position players could be juniors Marco Monreal, Marco Maldonado, Rocky Barrios and sophomore Jonathan Hernandez. The athletic Monreal could get a chance to assume the starting quarterback role with Maldonado competing for playing time in the offensive backfield and at safety on defense. Barrios and Hernandez give the Chieftains’ offense a pair of candidates at wide receiver. Defensively, Barrios is expected to see playing time in the secondary while Hernandez chips in at outside linebacker. Senior returnee Tristan Castillo gives Friona a

Littlefield Wildcats — District 1-3A D-I
Littlefield Hopes Adversity In Rear-View Mirror Much of the Littlefield Wildcats’ 2015 season was about overcoming adversity, which is a good quality to develop but one coach Bryan Huseman would just as soon not have to explore again in 2016. “I’m proud of last year’s team because we had 7-8 injured players, but the group hung together and continued to fight,” Huseman said. “We ended up beating a very talented team in the playoffs.” That very talented team was Brownfield, which Littlefield edged, 42-41, before the Wildcats lost to another very talented team, Wall, in the area round, 63-27, to end the season 6-5. Exactly half of last year’s roster returns in the form of 15 lettermen, which includes four starters on offense and six on defense. “We’ll have a good line, but we’re going to have to develop some running back to be competitive,” said Huseman, who lists legends like Jerry Blakely, Lewis Boomer, Eddie Hooper and David Baugh as his mentors. In fifteen years at Littlefield, Huseman has forged an

impressive 123-57 record. Leading the veterans will be senior Bryan Acevedo and junior Matthew Arce. Acevedo (5-10, 170, 4.8) collected 95 tackles (2 TFL) and 2 fumbles last season as a linebacker in Littlefield’s 50 defense, while Arce (5-11, 240, 5.2) lines up at tackle on both sides of the ball. “He’s a great blocker and a good athlete for a big man,” the coach said of Arce, who on defense tallied 45 tackles (4 TFL) a year ago. Other top returning defensive players for the Wildcats will be senior end Jacob Martinez (5-7, 170, 4.9), who in 2015 had 92 tackles (11 TFL) with 2 sacks, and senior linebacker Michael Solis (5-7, 175, 4.9), who

had 92 stops (11 TFL) with 2 sacks. Veterans in the secondary are seniors John Castillo (5-9, 155, 4.8) and Nathan Hobbs (6-1, 170, 4.7), who had 29 and 49 tackles, respectively, last season. Castillo also had 1 fumble recovery and 1 interception. Hobbs will take over at quarterback for graduated Bryson Calaway in Littlefield’s Slot-I offense. The Wildcats rushed for more than 4,000 yards in 2015, but now they must find a replacement for Nate Herrera. Junior Chris Douglas (5-9, 170, 4.7) will go a long way toward filling those shoes after running for 975 yards and 10 touchdowns on 117 carries. Huseman also needs to locate some receivers. Big

Littlefield’s season starts with back-to-back home games against Pampa and Denver City for homecoming before three straight road games against Idalou, Roosevelt and Stratford. Following an open week, district play begins at home against newcomer Shallowater. Then it’s at Friona, home against Slaton, at Muleshoe and home against River Road. “It’s as tough as always with Shallowater coming in and Childress moving out,” Huseman said.

Muleshoe Mules — District 1-3A D-I
Mules Packing A Punch In 2016 Year in and year out Muleshoe is one of the toughest football programs in the area. Longtime Head coach David Woods (171-67 in 21 seasons at Muleshoe) has built the Mules winning tradition and last season was no exception. “We started the year with very inexperienced lineman,” Woods said. “By the end of the year we were able to work in unison with each other. Injuries hit us late which cut our season short.” Without those key late season injuries the Mules definitely would have been a contender for another state title. The last came for the program in 2008. Muleshoe began 2015 with a (43-15) win over Levelland. The Mules fell to Sweetwater (14-36) before sweeping the remainder of the non district schedule over Seagraves (39-36), Perryton (52-37), and Kermit (58-7). The winning ways continued with a dominating run through district play as Muleshoe beat River Road (59-0), Friona (43-0), Childress (47-15), Dimmitt (47-6), and Littlefield (42-25) to claim the District crown. A big Bi-District victory over Slaton (76-25) gave the Mules their tenth win of the season. Number eleven came in the Area round with a (31-20) triumph over Breckenridge, but a Regional round loss to Shallowater (21-35) ended the Mules season giving them an overall record of 11-2 on the season. Looking ahead at 2016 Coach Woods said, “If we stay healthy, we feel this year will be very much like last year.” And that means the Mules will have plenty of hopes to ride into the season with. Five starters return to run Offensive Coordinator Wes Woods Spread offense with rushed for more than 2500 yards last season and threw for over 4,000 yards while averaging over 44 points scored per game. Jason Florez WR/LB (5’9” 160 4.6 Sr.) was an AllState selection last season after hauling in 73 catches for

1182 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior. Tre Villa also brings some experience to the receiving unit after making 35 catches for 819 yards and 9 touchdowns last season. Beto Diaz will take over at quarterback and while he is inexperienced having attempted only 7 passes a season ago, he did make the most of those opportunities by completing 6 of them for 54 yards and a touchdown. Up front Dominic Hasley is the only returning starting lineman and Donavan Gutierrez figures to be the starting center. Wes Boatman is the Mules Defensive Coordinator and he will have six returning starters to work with. Dagen Dunham DE (6’4” 215 4.7 Sr.) is a dominating player and was an All-State selection last season. Dominik Hasley is another vital player on the defensive line.

Shallowater Mustangs - District 1-3A D-1
Terry To Lead The Herd In 2016 Chad Terry has taken over one of the most attractive programs in the area, but he’ll have his work cut out for him in 2016 after gradation hit the Mustangs hard. Nineteen players won’t be back from last year’s 10-3 team that captured Shallowater’s fourth straight district championship and advanced to the state quarterfinals. The Mustangs went unbeaten in league play then downed River Road (63-14), Bowie (64-50) and Muleshoe (35-21) before falling to eventual state champion Bowie (38-10) to finish the year 10-3 under Kyle Maxfield. Terry called last year’s squad – which featured running back Cooper Ogle, quarterback Chris Contreras, offensive lineman Austin Young and defensive lineman Blake Russell – “a great bunch of guys. They really worked hard and accomplished a great deal. They will be hard to replace.” Only six players return from that team, and just two starters on offense and three on defense. “It’s going to be tough. We have a lot of shoes to fill. We lost a lot of starters on both sides of the ball. We are also young, but our kids work hard and will be up to the task,” said
We appreciate your business more than we can “EXPRESS”

Terry, who in 14 seasons as a head coach at Lockney, Sundown, Slaton, Anson and Plains has forged a 90-61 record. One of the few starters back is senior lineman Nik Hodges (5-10, 220), whom Terry said “anchors our line at center.” Other veterans back for Terry’s spread offense are junior running backs Brody Hendrick (5-9, 150) and Austin Wenzel (5-8, 170), who combined to rush for close to 300 yards and four touchdowns last year. Hendrick also had 14 catches for 250 yards and had 55 tackles while playing in the secondary on defense. Wenzel plays linebacker on defense. Sophomore defensive lineman Braxton Jurado (5-9, 175) logged 74 tackles (14 TFLs) and eight sacks in 2015, while senior back Bryson Blair

Dalhart, Shallowater opens the season with back-toback home games against Idalou and Levelland before going to Midland Greenwood. After an open week, the Mustangs host Lubbock High and play at Estacado prior to the start of a new-look district. “There are a lot of tough teams in our district. We are going to have to be ready to play every week,” Terry said. It starts with road games at Littlefield and Slaton, then it’s home against River Road, at Friona, and home against Muleshoe. “Our new district will be very challenging with quality coaches and quality kids. Every week will be a battle,” Terry said. “It should be a great district race.”

Martin will employ a spread offense for the Tigers, who last season were very balanced between the run (1,766 yards) and pass (1,649). Providing the bulk of those rushing yards are returners Trizton Robinson and Isaiah Hawkins. Robinson accounted for 688 yards and 4 TDs on 89 carries while Hawkins added 513 steps and 2 scores on 59 totes. Slaton also brings back its leading receiver in the form of senior Desreal Williams (5-11,

While the Tigers appear fairly set at the skill positions, the mood up front will be set by veteran linemen CJ Flores and Xavier Ramirez. Martin’s specialty is defense, and he’ll have the Tigers aligned in a 3-4. Three of the top figures for Slaton will be Ramirez up front, Ethan Rivera at linebacker, and Williams in the secondary.

Trips to New Deal and Lamesa follow before homecoming against Post on Sept. 23. An open week leads into the start of league play, which gets under way in Muleshoe. Then it’s home to face Shallowater, at Littlefield and Amarillo River Road, and finally at home against Friona in the regular-season finale. “It’s a very tough district from top to bottom,” Martin said.

Crane Golden Cranes — District 2-3A D-I
Excitement Ahead For Golden Cranes While there will be familiarity on Crane’s sideline with lots of returning players, many of the opponents on the other sideline will be foreign when the Golden Cranes play the 2016 season. “It is exciting to play someone new. There will be more travel involved, but we feel like we can compete with anyone in our district. Our kids will be prepared and ready to play every Friday night,” Kirk Byrd said as he prepares to enter his second season as Crane’s head coach. Crane won three games last season, two of them in district to get the team in the playoffs where they fell in the first round to Post. “We made great strides last season,” Byrd said. “The team worked and competed extremely hard, and all of their effort and hard work is greatly appreciated.” Eight players graduated, among them Zeke Roman, Jesus Ortiz, James Phillips and Mark Heredia. Nineteen players return, including eight starters on both sides of the ball. “Excitement is in the air for the 2016 season,” Byrd said. “The guys have been working hard in the offseason to improve areas to make them

Sena plays quarterback in Crane’s spread offense, last year completing 37-of-65 passes for 350 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions a year ago. Castaneda, Salcedo and Flores all line up along the offensive front, while Flores handles punting duties and Salcedo kicks.

Junior running back Rafael Meza (5-8, 175, 4.7), who ran for 350 yards and two touchdowns on 75 carries yards last year, will play a large role in Crane’s offense, as will receiver Ricky Medlock who had 14 catches for 215 yards and two scores.

A couple of promising juniors are found in running back Chris Maldonado (5-8, 165, 4.7) and linebacker Adrean Perez (5-7, 180, 4.9), and new faces looking to make a name for themselves will be Jonathan Velasco and Michael Holguin. Crane plays four of its first five games at home, starting Aug. 26 against Iraan. After going to Colorado City, the Golden Cranes host Ozona, Alpine and Sonora prior to a trip to Junction. District play begins back at home against one of the league’s top teams, Wall. Then it’s at Tornillo, home against Kermit and at Grape Creek.

Clyde Bulldogs— District 3-3A D-I
Bulldogs Confident Graduation took a big chunk out of last year’s eightwin Clyde Bulldogs, but head coach Rocky Smart is confident in the veterans that are returning as well as the new players on the roster. “We have some quality football players returning and we are excited to see who steps up into roles that were vacated by graduation,” said Smart, about to begin his fifth year in Clyde where he has forged a 26-18 record. Counting his time in Seymour and Nazareth, Smart sports an overall win-loss record of 74-34. Fourteen lettermen on last year’s squad and all but four starters on each side of the ball were claimed by graduation in the spring. Seventeen lettermen are back from the team that went 8-2 in the regular-season, including 5-1 in the district, before being clipped by Bowie, 44-40, in bi-district. “We played consistent throughout the year and improved from the year before,” said Smart, a product of Hardin-Simmons University. A handful of players will be key to Clyde’s success in the coming season. Among them are Tanner Riley, Brandon Berry, John Adkins, Tanner Broadfoot and Cord Schreffler. Those five Bulldogs not only will need to carry their own weight but also lead and help develop younger Bulldogs are to make it back to post-season play in what some may consider a “reloading” year in Clyde, where Smart prefers the Spread offense and 3-4 defense. Last year, the Bulldogs threw for more than 3,300 yards and rushed for almost 2,000, while giving up just over 1,300 and 2,200, respectively.

Clyde opens the season Thursday, Aug. 25 in Sweetwater against Brownfield before the Bulldogs’ home-opener against Eastland. Then it’s at Ballinger, home against Cisco and at Coleman leading into an open week then the start of district play and the homecoming game against Merkel. The rest of the season has the Bulldogs going to Early, hosting newcomer Comanche, going to Jim Ned, then winding up at home against Brady. Smart said the district “basically stayed the same” by losing one physical, running team in Wall and picking up another physical, running team in Comanche. He said the league race “will be tight. The teams are very comparable.” The coach thinks Comanche is the team to beat, followed by Brady and Jim Ned.

Comanche Indians— District 3-3A D-I
Indians Tracking Familiar Foes Comanche just happens to sit in a spot in Texas where they can be rubber-banded by the University Interscholastic League (UIL). After traveling east for their league games in 2014-15, the Indians will be traveling west for the next two years, as they have been placed in District 3-3A, Division I. But it’s not as if they will be in unfamiliar territory, as they have faced multiple teams in their new league in non-district and district play in the past. And if last year is any indication, with what they have coming back, Comanche may be a favorite to battle for the league title in 2016. “We hope to compete for the first district championship in Comanche since 2000,” fifth-year head coach Stepheh Hermesmeyer said. “We think we have the pieces in place to be a solid team. “It’s a very solid district with Clyde, Brady and (Tuscola) Jim Ned all being playoff teams from a year ago. Merkel and Early are much improved, so it will be a battle every Friday night this fall.” The Indians are returning 16 lettermen from last year’s team that went 5-6 overall, but 4-2 in 9-3A, D-I to reach the postseason. They were ousted, however, by Rockdale in the bi-district round 42-27. “We had some really close losses to great teams,” Hermesmeyer said of last season’s pre-league slate. “Cisco beat us 19-15 at the end, and we had the ball on the 7 against West with a chance to tie.” Comanche will run the wing-T offensively, which will rely heavily on their backfield, and the two backs to keep an eye on are Ethan Wilson and senior Zach Williams (5-10, 165). Wilson rushed for 142 yards on 42 attempts a year ago, and Williams had 34 carries for 158 yards and a touchdown. When they elect to throw the ball, the Indians’ top two targets appear to be Angel Garza and sophomore Kade Mercer (5-11, 170). Garza had 7 receptions for 98 yards last season, and Mercer had one catch for 40 yards. The bread and butter of the wing-T, however, is the offensive line. Hermesmeyer is confident in the abilities of senior Pedro Bernal (5-10, 260), Ezekquiel Campos and Emiliano Jimenez in the trenches. Defensively, Mercer looks to be a standout in

Comanche’s 4-3 scheme, where he racked up 104 tackles – 2 for a loss – 2 fumbles, 2 interceptions and 1 defensive TD a year ago. Another defender to watch will be Bryce Massingill, who collected 62 tackles – 1 for a loss – 2 sacks and 1 fumble. Williams will flip over to the defensive side, as well, and line up at linebacker. In 2015, he registered 50 tackles, 2 of which went for a loss, and 1 sack. In the secondary, senior Ty McCullogh (6-1, 165) will look to be a factor. He tallied 35 tackles and 3 interceptions last season. The Indians open the season at home on Aug. 26 at 7:30 p.m. against Ballinger. They will open district play on the road against Jim Ned on Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m., and the last game on their regular-season slate is a home contest on Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. versus Early.

Merkel Badgers — District 3-3A D-I
Badgers Banking Seven starters returning on each side of the line of scrimmage and a successful junior varsity team in 2015 have the Merkel Badgers optimistic that they’ll be able to turn things around in 2016. Last season saw the Badgers struggle to a 2-8 season, including 2-4 in district. But Merkel’s JV went 7-3, and the players from that successful team will blend with 14 returning varsity lettermen to form Coach John Cornelius’ third edition of Badger football. Seven seniors can be found on Merkel’s preseason roster, among them linebacker Jerrid Long (5-5, 165, 4.7), who finished last season with 109 tackles (29 solo), 13 TFLs and 2 sacks in the team’s 4-3 defense. Other top tacklers returning are junior linebacker Brady Bilbrey (5-9, 185, 4.7), who had 96 stops (24 solo) in 2015, senior free safety Tatian Gonzalez (5-9, 155, 4.7), who had 84 tackles (23 solo), senior linebacker Trey Brown (5-8, 165, 4.8) with 51 tackles (14 solo), and senior end Hayden Byers (5-11, 205, 4.8) with 42 stops (9 solo), 4 TFLs and 4 sacks. Gonzalez is a proven pass receiver as well, with 18 catches for 164 yards a year ago, as are Byers and sophomore Jonah White (6-0, 185, 4.5) who had 17 grabs for 147 yards and 110 rushing yards on just 12 carries in just five games as a freshman. Charged with getting them the ball will be junior quarterback Cole Wilkerson (6-1, 175, 4.8), who was under center on that 7-3 junior varsity squad last season. “Cole projects to be our quarterback after he had an outstanding JV season,” said Cornelius, who is 3-17 at Merkel and 43-62 overall, including previous stops at Amherst and Tahoka. Senior running back Matt Holmes (5-8, 185, 4.6) will carry much of the load in the backfield of Merkel’s Multiple Read Option offense after last year rushing for 694 yards and 4 touchdowns on 157 carries. Senior Tristan Taylor (5-10, 240) will give the Badgers some heft up front, as will juniors Trey Thompson (5-9, 195, 5.0) and Johnathon Maples (6-0, 195, 5.2) and sophomore Tyrell White-Oneal (6-4, 200, 4.9). Junior Zach Owens (6-2, 175, 4.7) will add depth to the receiving corps. Those names will be the primary replacements for a dozen lettermen lost to graduation, including Will Jackson, Austin Newberry, Mason Friske and Tristan Deanda. Cornelius said the Badgers will be blessed with speed but lack size as they try to find the right combination to end a three-year playoff drought in 2016.

Jim Ned Indians — District 3-3A D-I
Indians Geared For Post Season When Tuscola Jim Ned wrapped up its 2015 season, it did so as a playoff team for the time since 2009, finishing with a 5-6 overall mark, a 3-3 district balance sheet and a bi-district loss to eventual undefeated state champ Brock. Those Indians were led by rookie Head Coach Jerod Womack and a strong senior class that featured 22 lettermen. Under Womack’s spread/multiple attack, the Jim Ned offense was revitalized and racked up nearly 4,000 yards. In 2016, Womack will have to replace all that senior leadership as the Indians welcome back just three starters on offense and 4 first stringers on defense. He said the team will rely on an experienced offensive line and a young group of upstarts at the offensive and defensive skill positions. Jim Ned will also encounter a revamped District 3-3A that may be smaller but should still be very tough. “District 3-3A will be very competitive,” Womack said. “Brady, Comanche, Clyde and Jim Ned all made the playoffs in 2015 and look to be the top teams in 2016. We are working extremely hard in the offseason to prepare for a playoff run next season.” The Indians’ seasoned offensive front includes junior three-year starting left tackle Peyton Weatherly and seniors Chandler Smith and Dylan Burnett. Weatherly (6-0, 220) landed an all-district first team spot in 2016. Womack described him as a player who exhibits maturity, stability, leadership and competitiveness. Smith was an all-league second teamer in 2015. Jim Ned’s most experienced skill players on offense include senior receiver Connor Aikens and versatile junior Dillon McCoy. Aikens reeled in 16 passes as a junior for 223 yards and 3 touchdowns. McCoy caught

14 passes for 143 yards and 1 TD. He also carried the ball 15 times for 129 yards and another score. The Indians’ 3-4 base defense will feature a pair of returning starters at linebacker in senior Pierce Atchison and classmate Tyler Lockley. Atchison was an alldistrict first teamer on the inside in 2015 with 76 tackles, 3 tackles for loss and 1 sack. Lockley contributed 30 total tackles and was named to the all-district first team offense at fullback. In the secondary, senior defensive back Coalby Rives picked up an all-league second team nod with 65 tackles and 2 interceptions. Other players to watch for Jim Ned in 2016 include senior defensive lineman Brayden Kesler (11 stops last season), senior cornerback Dayton Short (11 tackles),
junior lineman Dylan Burnett and promising junior newcomers Jon Thormeyer and Jacob Contreras. Tuscola Jim Ned begins 2016 with an Aug. 26 trip to Coleman. After welcoming Goldthwaite to town Sept. 2 for the season’s first home game, they go back on the road for back-to-back games at Anson on Sept. 9 and Sonora on Sept. 16. Their final tune-up for league play will take place on the home turf Sept. 23 against Bangs. The Indians’ attempt at two straight playoff births for the first time since 2008-2009 gets underway Oct. 7 when they play host to Comanche. Following an Oct. 14 trip to Brady, they return home to battle Early on Oct. 21 and Clyde on Oct. 28. Their final district challenge is slated for Nov. 4 at Merkel.

Breckenridge Buckaroos — District 4-3A D-I
Bucking
for
Dominance
Before Casey Hubble became the Breckenridge head football coach, the Buckaroos had strung together four straight post-season appearances but boasted just two playoff wins during that time. During his two seasons, Hubble has helped extend the post-season streak to six and guided the program to three playoff wins. That includes last season when the Buckaroos’ 7-5 overall finish included a 4-1 district mark and a bi-district win over Brady before they fell to Muleshoe in the area round. Breckenridge also gave league foe and eventual undefeated state champ Brady their toughest game of the year before falling 20-17. For his thrid season with the Buckaroos, Hubble will have 7 starters back to execute his flex-bone offense and 6 returning to the team’s 4-3 defensive alignment. Clay Mayo will serve as the team’s offensive coordinator and Rick Smith will coordinate the defense. On offense, the bulk of the Breckenridge running game will likely fall to seniors Brady Tennison and Jordan McDonald. Tennison, the all-district first team fullback last season, pounded opposing defenses for 452 yards and a touchdown. He also landed on the all-district team defense at linebacker with 95 tackles, including 45 solo stops. McDonald was all-district second teamer at running back and defensive back. On offense he pitched in with 630 all-purpose yards, including 509 yards rushing and 7 TDs. “Brady is hard to tackle and he’s an excellent defensive player,” Hubble said. “Jordan has good vision and is a tough runner.” Hubble expects athletic junior Lonnie Hinson to be a strong candiate for the starting quarterback spot. Last year Hinson was named to the all-league second team at wide receiver with 537 combined rushing/receiving yards and 4 touchdowns. The offensive line will be spearheaded by senior

returnee Tandem Ditzel and junior holdover Misael Marentes. Ditzel was named to the all-ditrict second team in 2015. On defense, the Buckaroos’ front seven returns a pair of the district’s top ’15 performers in seniors Max Palacios and DeMarcus Johnson. “Max will be a four-year starter,” Hubble said. “He’s a smart player with great athleticism and power. DeMarcus is an excellent run defender and pass rusher with good speed and leverage.” Palacios was named to the all-district first team at linebacker with 75 solo tackles, 37 assists, 2 sacks and an interception. He also earned the all-district first team nod at kicker by hitting on 84 percent of his extra point attempts and nailing 2 of 3 field goal tries, including a 38-yarder. Johnson registered 55 total tackles and 5 sacks en route to all-district second team spot at defensive end. Other Buckaroos to watch in 2016 include senior wide receiver Pablo Ramirez (125 yards, 1 TD last season), senior safety Nathan Wilcox (58 tackles, 3 interceptions as a junior) and junior defensive end Terrance Roberson (23 tackles in 2015). Breckenridge’s 2016 effort opens with road games at Cisco on Aug. 26 and Mineral Wells on Sept. 2. After playing host to Eastland in the Sept. 9 home opener, they return to the road Sept. 16 at Dublin. Their final nondistrict assignment is a Sept. 23 home game against Wichita Falls Hirschi. The Buckaroos kick off their District 4-3A itinerary with an Oct. 7 home contest against Paradise. After paying an Oct. 14 visit to Bowie, they return to the home turf for battles against Boyd (Oct. 21) and Ponder (Oct. 28). They close out league play with a Nov. 4 showdown at the home of defending league and state champion Brock.

Amarillo Highland Park Hornets — District 1-3A D-II
Hornets Looking To Sting When Head Coach Craig Shores took over the Hornet football program the school had not seen a winning season in seven long years. Coach Shores has indeed shored up the foundation for Highland Park and the school has qualified for the post season three straight years. Entering his fifth season atop the program Coach Shores and his Hornets will look to take that next step forward and advance deeper into the postseason. Highland Park began 2015 with a loss to Vega (1225) but the Hornets sharpened their stingers and buzzed off four straight wins over River Road (53-20), Clarendon (42-13), Wheeler (65-26), and Gruver (31-27) to close out the non district schedule. A trio of setbacks to Idalou (1349), Sanford-Fritch (14-20), and Spearman (21-28), at the onset of district left the Highland Park in a deep hole but the Hornets gathered their will and closed out with back-to-back wins over Lubbock Roosevelt (56-18) and Tulia (56-13) to earn a postseason berth. Unfortunately, the season ended with a Bi-District loss to Cisco (18-48) for the second straight season. Eighteen lettermen will return for 2016 including six starters on each side of the ball.

Realignment has placed Highland Park in a tough schedule so it will be a dogfight to extend the playoff streak but with an experienced man at the top like coach Shores and a strong senior class the Hornets should be in the thick of things.

Canadian Wildcats — District 1-3A D-II
Canadian Retooling There is no arguing that high school football in Texas is legendary. There is also no arguing that Canadian has earned a spot as one of the state’s legendary programs. Since the dawn of the new century, the Wildcats have put together an impressive résumé. Two-time defending state champion, four state titles since 2007 and a fifth championship game appearance in 2009. In fact, the Wildcats haven’t missed the playoffs since 2001 and have racked up seven state semifinal births during that time. Heading into 2016, Canadian and head coach Chris Koetting have been on the winning side of the scoreboard in 42 of their last 43 games and will be riding a 31-game winning streak into the 2016 campaign. Their last loss occurred in 2013 when their season ended with a loss to Cisco in the state quarterfinals. Last year Koetting guided his troops to an undefeated 16-0 mark that ended with a 61-20 rout of Refugio in the Class 2A Division I state championship game. During their impressive six-game run to a second straight state crown, the Wildcats outscored their postseason opponents by a combined score of 331-76. “I am so proud of our kids for what they accomplished

in winning a state championship,” Koetting said. “We had tremendous leadership from our senior class and it was definitely a season to remember.” Koetting’s 2016 squad will defend their backto-back state titles with 14 returning lettermen. The holdovers include four players who started on offense last season and four more started defensively. Koetting said developing depth will be a priority this year, but the school’s tradition will be an ally. “We have several holes to fill with the departure of a very talented senior class,” Koetting explained. “Having said that, we are very excited about the kids we have returning. Several have been in some big games the last couple of years, but we will really need some kids to step up and fill some spots.”

When it comes to skill players, Canadian returns a pair of proven performers in senior two-way starters Cameron Copley and Manny Ramsey. Copley was an all-district and all-state first team receiver last season with 87 receptions, 1,409 yards and 23 touchdowns. He also earned an all-district first team spot as a defensive back with 96 tackles, 6 interceptions and another score. Ramsey posted 60 tackles and 2 interceptions to join Copley in the all-league first team secondary. He was also named an all-district second team receiver with 54 catches, 842 yards and 7 TDs. Senior Corbin Doutthitt is the top candidate to claim the starting quarterback job. Last season he completed 20 of 29 passes for 214 yards and 3 touchdowns. He

also carried the ball 75 times for 355 yards and 3 TDs. The Wildcats’ offensive line should also be tough to handle with the return of seniors Marshall Cates, Tyler Richardson and Logan Godino. Cates and Richardson both took home all-district first team honors in ’15. Canadian’s 3-5-3 defense will feature two of the area’s top linebackers in seniors Holton Hufstedler and Cade Throgmorton. As a junior, Hufstedler racked up 205 tackles, including 38 stops behind the line and 5 quarterback sacks. Those numbers landed him on the all-state first team and the all-district second team. Throgmorton’s 130 tackles included 32 stops for loss and 7 sacks. He also picked off 3 passes, recovered 3 fumbles and scored 2 touchdowns en route to an all-

Other players to watch for Canadian in 2016 include senior linemen Tom Brown and Tyler Carr and senior wide receiver/defensive back Trae Dwyer. Koetting said the team’s most promising newcomers include underclassmen Bryce Chidester, Harrison Culwell, Erick Gonzales, Kelton King, Matthew Lynch and Lane Oles. The Wildcats begin the season with road trips to Bushland on Aug. 26 and River Road on Sept. 2. After home games against Perryton (Sept. 9) and area rival Stratford (Sept. 16), they finish non-district play with a Sept. 30 trip to Vernon.

Childress Bobcats— District 1-3A D-II
Bobcats Heading Into New Division Jason Sims’ first season at Childress was a memorable one, just not as memorable as he or the Bobcats wanted. Childress produced a respectable 7-4 record, including 4-1 in district before bowing out of the playoffs in the first round to Denver City. “We were a solid team,” Sims said. “The team did a great job of learning a new system on the fly and having success with it. It was a fun season, but we didn’t achieve all the goals we set for ourselves.” Seventeen lettermen – including eight starters on each side of the ball – are back to try to accomplish more goals in 2016. “This should be a good year,” said Sims, who lost 10 lettermen off last year’s roster, including quarterback Bryce Bowman, receiver Janzen Martinez and lineman Sebastian Juarez. “We will have most of our varsity returning. Also, dropping down a division will help us. We are working to get back to traditional Childress football.” Helping that process will be a trio of proven seniors in Bo Lott, Caleb Tucker and Garrett Stephens, among others. The speedy Lott (5-6, 160, 4.4) ran for 1,006 yards and 9 touchdowns on 150 carries last season, while Stephens (5-10, 165, 4.7) caught 42 passes for 552 yards and 10 TDs. Tucker (5-10, 170, 4.7) returns at linebacker in the Bobcats’ 3-4 system having collected 92 tackles (9 TFLs) and 4 sacks in 2015. Another senior, Luke Darter

(6-0, 165) takes over at quarterback in Childress’ Air Raid offense after starting last year in the secondary where he tallied 59 tackles. “He has gotten lots of varsity reps at quarterback the last two seasons (11-of-14 for 109 yards and 2 TDs last year),” said Sims. “He will step in without a hitch.” Experienced players up front is found in seniors Cameron Garcia (5-7, 190) and Rhett Buckley (5-11, 230), who were first- and second-team all-district performers, respectively, along with junior Tate Wofford (6-0, 210). Garcia also will contribute along the defensive front, where senior Thomas Adams (5-10, 165) racked up 91 tackles (7 TFLs) and 2 sacks last season. Other top tacklers returning are senior linebacker Felix Garza (5-7, 205) with 85 stops (7 TFLs) and 2 sacks and senior all-district defensive back Joe Dan Gambol (5-10, 140), who also could splash

at receiver. Another key two-way contributor is senior halfback/defensive back Alfonso Salinas (5-10, 160) who was good for 57 tackles a year ago. Among the new faces Sims is looking to step up are juniors Weston Stone (5-11, 230) on the offensive line and John Pleming (6-0, 165) at defensive end. Sims, a Midwestern State University product who came from Quanah where he was 38-24 in five years, said he likes Childress’ revamped district. “We won’t have to travel near as far as we have in the past. I feel this will be one of the top districts in Region I. Canadian and Spearman have had tremendous success lately. We will be able to compete with anyone in our district. With Canadian being back-toback defending state champs, the road to a championship runs through them. But they are used to having that target

Dimmitt Bobcats — District 1-3A D-I
Bobcats Ready To Play The Bobcats have not seen the postseason since 1976, but after finishing 5-5 last season and with twenty lettermen back including seven starters on each side of the ball there is hope 2016 could be the year Dimmitt ends the postseason drought. Head Coach Steve Gunter has his team ready after a solid offseason and after going within a single touchdown of ending the streak last season his veteran squad is poised and ready to attack 2016. Dimmitt’s 2015 was really a tale of two seasons. Following an opening week loss to new Deal (12-62), the Bobcats rattled off 5 straight wins. Taking down Lubbock Roosevelt (49-30), Olton (34-16), Tulia (4013) and Lamesa (50-42) in non district play, before starting off district with a tight (13-12) win over Friona. Unfortunately those would be the last victories of the season as Dimmitt fell to Childress (13-53), Littlefield (14-49), Muleshoe (6-47), and Amarillo River Road (1534) to end the season. The 2016 Bobcats will be led by a pair of talented juniors in Jose Salas and Jonathan Quiroz. Salas

Spearman Lynx — District 1-3A D-II
No Missing Lynx
The Lynx pounced on the 2015 season by winning nine straight to open the season. Head Coach Steve Rodman (60-30 overall over nine seasons) described his squad as scrappy and a team that worked hard while believing they could compete with anyone. Under Rodman’s direction, The Lynx program is one of the more consistent programs in the region-year in and year out. Spearman began the year with wins over Shamrock (32-7) and Wheeler (35-14). Gaining even more momentum the Lynx ran out impressive victories over Panhandle (29-12) and Sunray (33-8) before waging a hard fought battle against West Texas High in the final non district game. That tight (34-33) triumph sent Spearman into district play with a perfect mark and the good times rolled on with wins over Sanford-Fritch (280), Lubbock Roosevelt (48-20), Highland Park (28-21), and Tulia (55-16) to give the Lynx nine straight victories. A regular season ending loss to Idalou (7-24) spoiled the perfect season and perhaps that loss of momentum contributed to Spearman’s Bi-District ouster to Eastland (27-47) which ended the season for Spearman with an overall 9-2 record.

Heading in to 2016 the Lynx will need to replace several players along both the offensive and defensive lines. The team lost eight lettermen to graduation return eleven including six starters on offense and five on defense. Spearman works from multiples sets when they have the ball and a Base 3-3 set on defense under the guidance of coordinator Bob Ferguson. The Lynx have three players back on offense with All-State caliber talent. Trenton Baird (170, 4.8) rushed for 1079 yards and 14 touchdowns last season in the Lynx’s potent ground game. Dual threat Payton Smith (170, 4.9) added another 593 rushing yards while scoring 10 touchdowns on the ground. Smith also threw for 731 yards and 4 more touchdowns. Edward McIntyre (220, 5.2 ) anchors the offensive line.

A pair of standouts are back for Spearman’s defense and both players are in line for post season honors with good healthy season. Alvaro Chavez (LB, 5-10, 185, 4.9, Sr.) accounted for 90 tackles last season including 9 quarterback sacks. In the secondary, Lane Farrar (FS, 5-10, 150, 4.7, Sr.) returns as a force to be reckoned with. Other players vital to Spearman’s success in 2016 include Rugby Rodman (WR/DB, 5-6, 135, Jr.), David Jackson (RB/DB, 5-7, 150, Jr.), Reid Swan (WR/ DB, 5-10, 160, Sr.), Bryan Campos (RB/DB, 5-6, 145, Sr.), Cobee Harrison (OL/DL, 5-8, 190, Sr.), and Alex Rosales (OL/LB, 5-7, 170, Jr.).

Redistricting has left Spearman with a tough slate of games in what will be a dogfight battle for both the district crown and a postseason berth.

Tulia Hornets — District 1-3A D-II
Toliver Commands The Swarm Former Texas Tech Red Raider Duane Toliver is charged with turning around a Tulia program that was winless in 2015. In his 16th season as a coach after playing defensive end for the Raider Raiders from 199699, Toliver arrives from Claude where he faced a similar rebuilding task. The Mustangs went (3-17) the past two seasons. “I hope to bring a lot of discipline. I feel like that is one of the things I’m pretty good at. The kids here compete really hard. They really get after it. I know there is plenty of talent in Tulia, and I feel we can get it going in the right direction,” said Toliver, who is (13-20) in three seasons as a head coach, having also coached at Los Lunas High School in New Mexico where the team went (8-4) and advanced to the state semifinals. Among Toliver’s other coaching stops was spending five years as defensive coordinator at Lubbock High. Only 6 seniors, including running back Rickie Johnson, were lost from last season, but all were starters, leaving Toliver with 5 returning starters on each side of the ball among 20 lettermen. “The upcoming season looks very promising. We have lots of returners that have

worked very hard to buy into what we expect of them,” Toliver said. Among the veterans Toliver is looking to spearhead the turnaround are seniors Aaron Garza and Tanner Hooper. Garza (5-10, 180, 4.6), who lines up at running back and wide receiver, and Hooper (6-3, 175, 4.7), also a receiver, will be key pieces in Toliver’s fastpaced spread offense. Another integral part of the new offense will be sophomore quarterback/defensive back Shawn Kelly, along with senior Tevyn Murrell and another sophomore, Kye Basaldua, both of whom play running back on offense and linebacker in Toliver’s “Odd” defense. Holding things together in the trenches will be senior Frankie Cedillo. “We are learning a new system and new way of doing things,” said Toliver, whose roster shows 17 seniors. “That’s a special bunch.” The UIL didn’t do Tulia any favors by putting defending state champion Canadian in the same district as the Hornets. “Our new district is a killer. Anytime you add Canadian and Childress to a district that already has Spearman and Highland Park in it, the competition gets

even better,” Toliver said. Following scrimmages against Hale Center and Post, Tulia kicks off the Toliver era at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26 at Dick Bivins Stadium in Amarillo against Panhandle. The Hornets then travel to Abernathy prior to their home debut against Sanford-Frit6ch. After a trip to Wellington, homecoming against New Deal and an open week, Tulia begins its rugged district schedule with road games against Dimmitt and Childress. Following a home game against Highland Park, the Hornets go to Spearman then come home to entertain Canadian in the regular-season finale.

Idalou Wildcats — District 2-3A D-II
Graduation Takes Toll on Idalou’s Semifinal Team The Wildcats are anxious to get to work on the 2016 season on the heels of one of the most successful gridiron campaigns in Idalou Wildcat football history. In head coach Jeff Lofton’s third season at the helm of the Idalou program, the Wildcats won their first 13 games, including playoff victories over Holliday (59-17), Colorado City (58-14), Coleman (37-0) and Henrietta (27-7). That sent Idalou into the Class 3A Division II state semifinals in Mineral Wells against undefeated Waskom, which ended the Wildcats’ dream season with a (28-24) final. Waskom went on to complete a perfect season by winning in the championship game over Franklin, (3321). Graduation took a heavy toll on the Wildcats’ roster, claiming 25 lettermen. Six veterans return for 2016, just one starter on offense and two on defense. But Lofton, who is (29-9) in three seasons at Idalou, is optimistic as he pieces together the 2016 version of the Wildcats. No doubt it will center around a trio of talented seniors in Eden Cervantez, Luke Rodriguez and Jonathan Pacheco. Cervantez (6-1, 250) at center, and Rodriguez (5-10, 235) will control the offensive line, with Cervantez

moving to tackle on defense and Rodriguez to linebacker. Pacheco (5-9, 155) meanwhile, will be at the controls of Idalou’s I/Spread offense while playing in the secondary in the 4-3 defense. Other pieces of the puzzle will be provided by seniors Bryce Mojica, Seth Galicia, Michael Guzman and Garrett Stanton. Mojica (5-8, 145) lines up at running back and defensive back, while Galicia (5-11, 180) and Stanton (5-9, 165) can be found in the trenches. Guzman (5-8, 140) gives Pacheco a throwing target as a receiver on offense while playing in the defensive secondary. Other seniors being counted on include lineman Ryen Ortiz (5-10, 150) and end Riley Richards (5-11, 180.) Highlighting a talented junior class are quarterback/ linebacker Colby Gentry (5-10, 165) tight end/defensive

Idalou begins the rebuilding process with road games against Shallowater and Seminole before home games against Littlefield and Post. After a trip to Muleshoe and home game against Denver City, district play begins at home against Colorado City. Then it’s at Coahoma, home against Roosevelt, and at Stanton prior to an open week just before the start of what figures to be another playoff season. How long that post-season lasts is the other half of Idalou’s equation, but no one would be surprised if Lofton and the Wildcats are again around for a while.

Colorado City Wolves — District 2-3A D-II
Wolves Resilient Things seldom go as planned in high school football. Such was the case in 2015 for Dan Gainey and the Colorado City Wolves when they suffered what he called a “devastating injury” to the team’s quarterback in the second scrimmage. Despite that, and despite playing an “extremely tough schedule, we were still able to fight to win a playoff spot and win a round one playoff game against Reagan County.” The Wolves bowed to state semifinalist Idalou in the second round and finished 5-7. A dozen lettermen – receiver/defensive back Mark Munoz and linebacker Andrew Burrola among them – have moved on, although 17 veterans return, including five starters on each side of the ball. “We are going to rely heavily on our interior and quarterback play, at least early. Our young skill position players are going to have to make a quick transition to Friday night football for us to do well,” said Gainey, a longtime coach with the Wolves now in his fourth season as the head coach sporting a 13-20 record. The quarterback to which Gainey referred is senior Tommy James (6-3, 205, 4.7), who last year in Colorado’s spread offense completed 100-of-202 passes for 1,292 yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. James also ran for 302 yards and 10 scores. The interior to which Gainey referred centers around seniors Justin Trawick, alldistrict honoree Javier Ventura, and Brandon Lujan. The coach called Trawick, a three-year starter, “a big, strong center.” Veterans on the Wolves’ 4-2-5 defense include top tacklers senior lineman Josh Salazar and junior end Anthony Gutierrez. Salazar recorded 55 tackles (10 TFL), 6 sacks and 1 fumble recovery last season, while Gutierrez had 54 stops (4 TFL) and 1 fumble recovery. Salazar also handles kicking duties, last year making 18-of-25 PATs. Other experienced players back are sophomore linebacker Markie Monroe (5-9, 180, 4.7), who had 17 tackles (3 TFL) as a freshman, and senior defensive back Koby Miller, who had 18 stops. Besides Monroe, other sophomores expected to contribute include running back/linebacker Bubba Williams (5-9, 160, 4.7) and lineman David Ornelas. Junior Zach

Casares (6-1, 185, 4.7) will make an impact at receiver and defensive end. The Wolves open the season in Albany then host Crane for their home-opener. After that it’s at Christoval, home against San Angelo TLCA, at Iraan and home against Reagan County leading up to the district opener and playoff rematch at Idalou. Following an open week, Colorado hosts Coahoma, travels to Roosevelt, then hosts Stanton. Gainey said he isn’t sure what to think about the new-look district. “We are familiar with Coahoma and Stanton, having been in their district for several years. We have played Idalou at the sub-varsity level the last two years and in the playoffs last year. I know they will be extremely tough, and I hear Roosevelt has a large returning senior class that has been playing well.”

Lubbock Roosevelt Eagles — District 2-3A D-II
Eagles Have New Head Coach Quisenberry in 2016 The Roosevelt Eagles will have a new look in 2016, but not too new or totally unfamiliar. Former defensive coordinator David Quisenberry is now the head coach at Roosevelt. Quisenberry has been coaching for 36 years, including the head coach at Sudan from 19962000 when he compiled a 37-18 record. Quisenberry, who also was the defensive coordinator at Lamesa, has coached in 42 playoff games throughout his career, including three state championship games. “I really like the young people out here and I didn’t think they needed to have a big change coming up,” Quisenberry told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal after accepting the job. “I have enjoyed my time here and with the kids we have coming back, I thought they needed the continuity and the stability.” He replaces John Contrucci, now the offensive coordinator at Brownwood. Under Contrucci, Roosevelt went 6-4 in 2014 and 5-5 last season. “We were a young team with very few seniors. We played hard, but made too many mistakes,” Quisenberry said. The good news is only six players were lost to

graduation, resulting in seventeen lettermen returning, including eight starters on offense and nine on defense. “We have quite a few coming back, including most of our linemen,” said Quisenberry. “We have to replace the quarterback (Colt Garrett), but we have our running back and wide receivers back. It is a pretty good situation. We have very hard-working athletes and a strong senior class. We will have a good team.” Helping make up that strong senior class are tackle Kevin Shoemaker (6-2, 285), fullback/linebacker Isaia Duenes (5-10, 195), and end Teagan Cooksey (5-10, 175). Other seniors the Eagles are counting on include linemen Andy Canales (5-9, 190) and Esaiah Rodriquez

Roosevelt plays back-to-back road games against New Deal and Slaton to kick off the season then backto-back home games against Lamesa and Littlefield. After going to Floydada and hosting Abernathy, district play begins at home against Stanton. Then it’s at Idalou, home against Colorado City and at Coahoma. “It will be a very competitive district,” said Quisenberry, who looks for his Eagles to challenge Idalou and Colorado City for the crown.

Eastland Maverick’s — District 4-3A D-II
Eastland Looking Change is coming for the Mavericks as Eastland has a new man in charge for 2016. James Morton takes over the program after coaching at Midland Lee, Lubbock Monterey and Friona over the years. In Eastland he takes over a program riding five straight seasons with double digit wins. Of course Morton is no stranger to winning as he has over 150 coaching victories to his credit. Eastland began 2015 in impressive fashion shutting out Merkel (59-0). After claiming a barnburner win (64-62) over Clyde, the Mavericks made it three in a row with a (32-22) victory over Breckenridge. Eastland started district play the same way they did the season with a big shutout triumph, this time over Millsap (60-0). The Mavericks won their fifth, sixth, and seventh games in a row by taking down Wichita Falls City View (56-7), Jacksboro (51-24), and Holliday (34-14), before falling for the first time in a close one to Henrietta (27-28). Eastland bounced back to give Nocona the boot (36-14) but lost the following week to Cisco (22-29). Despite not carrying momentum into the playoffs the Mavericks won their Bi-District matchup against Spearman (47-27) and an Area Round contest to Sonora (70-38). This set up a Regional round rematch against Henrietta and unfortunately for Eastland the end result was the same as the Mavericks season came to an end with a (20-27) loss. The Mavericks will look to four seniors to lead them in all areas. On offense Peyton Bird (6-5, 285, Sr., OT, 5.3) and Chris Martinez (5-10, 175, Sr., RB, 4.8) are both All-State caliber talents. Martinez rushed for nearly 1,000 yards last season and scored 18 touchdowns. On defense, Eastland can rely on Tylor Gwinn (6-3, 198 ,Sr., DE, 4.8) to be a force in stopping opposing teams from moving the ball. The Special Teams unit also has a spectacular talent in J.R. Fullen (5-10, 165, Sr., K, 4.6). Other key players for Eastland include Rodnay Potts (6-2, 250, Jr., DL), Bryson Blackwell (5-10, 176, Jr., WR/DB, 4.6), Mason Wright (5-10, 170, Sr., QB, 4.9), Sam Barker (5-7, 175, Jr., LB/B,

Seniors who figure to play prominent roles for the Mavericks are Jacob Davis (6-1, 230, Sr., C), Reese Skinner (6-1, 185, Sr., OLB), Payton Whaley (5-11, 175, Sr., TE), and Parker Roberts (5-10, 175, Sr., WR). Realignment left Eastlake with what appears to be a tougher slate of games on the schedule. The new district is comprised of Cisco, Bangs, Coleman, Tolar and Dublin provides plenty of challenge for the Mavericks and the other teams in advancing to the postseason.

Stanton Buffaloes — District 2-3A D-II
Buffs Fast & Experienced One year’s young team becomes next year’s veteran squad. That is the case with the 2016 Stanton Buffaloes, who went (3-6) overall in 2015, but they carried only eight seniors. This season, the Red and Gray return 18 lettermen and, along with their placement in District 2-3A, Division II, a refreshing vibe appears to be flowing through the team. “The new season brings new challenges that the kids have stepped up to in the offseason,” Stanton head coach John Peterson said. “We look forward to the new season and the opportunity to get back into the playoffs. “The kids are working hard in the weight room and on the track. The challenge of finding linemen that can play on Friday night is a priority for our team as we head into the season.” Two linemen Peterson believes he can rely on, however, are seniors Kaden Kennedy (5-8, 220) and

Johnathon Anderson (5-8, 200). The Buffs will run the spread offense, and while they will need a quarterback to step up and take control of the position, they do have two running backs and two wide receivers that should be interesting to watch. Senior Alex Martinez (5-6, 145) and junior Adrian Rodriguez (5-6, 155) will be featured in the backfield. Last year, Martinez rushed 74 times for 487 yards, and Rodriguez had 63 carries for 233 yards. Out wide, senior Tanner Luxton (5-10, 135) caught 13 passes for 197 yards a season ago, and fellow senior Austin Fryar (5-11, 150) had 8 receptions for 149 yards.

Fryar is a standout at linebacker, where he registered 80 tackles, 2 sacks and 1 fumble a year ago. Anderson will man the other linebacker spot, where he had 10 tackles and 1 interception. Martinez and Rodriguez won’t only be a tandem in the offensive backfield, but in the defensive backfield, as well. Martinez collected 45 tackles, 1 fumble and 2 interceptions last season, and Rodriguez tallied 33 tackles, 1 sack and 1 fumble. Three underclassmen who could make an

Alpine Bucks - District 3-3A D-II
New Bucks Time John Fellows’ first season as head coach of the Alpine Bucks produced a playoff team, albeit a loss in the first round as well as a sub.-500 record. The Bucks would like to improve on those marks in 2016, but they’ll have to do it with limited returning experience as only two starters are back on offense and five on defense among 14 lettermen. “We will have a young team and will have to have young players step up,” said Fellows, a Sul Ross product who is 60-35 in 18 years on the sidelines counting his time at Iraan and McCamey. Among the key players back from last season’s 5-6 team that was ousted by Coleman, 75-39, in bi-district is Isaac Gallego (5-10, 170, 4.6), the Bucks’ spread offense quarterback who in 2015 threw for 1,700 yards and rushed for another 1,500 while producing 35 combined touchdowns and just 7 interceptions. Two other seniors will be pivotal to Alpine’s success. Running back/linebacker Jorge Vargas (5-11, 200, 4.7) accounted for 121 tackles a year ago in the Bucks’ odd front defensive set. “He has a nose for the ball,” Fellows said. And, lineman Nick Miller (5-9, 230, 5.0) added 54 tackles and 2 sacks. Other veterans that Fellows is depending on are offensive linemen Gage Glidewell, an “undersized, smart center who graded out at 90 percent,” Gabe Campos, a “good-sized lineman who will have a bigger role,” and Richard Contreras, a “young, upcoming tackle.” Among the juniors Alpine is counting on are receivers/defensive backs Aaron Frost (5-10, 155, 4.8), Skyler Short (5-6, 160, 4.7) and Derek Rojo (5-9, 150, 4.8). Frost and Short are the team’s top returning receivers, but have just 13 catches between them. They’ll be following the footsteps of Jordan Frost, Clay Schmid and Christian Morris, who were among the 17 players lost off of last year’s team, along with receiver/linebacker Colton Foster and lineman Robert Oliphant. Players like Calvin Pearce and Dustin Chopelas, as well as newcomers Dominic Gonzales and Alex Gonzales, will be needed to fill in gaps left by a heavy graduation. Alpine opens its season with back-to-back home games against Grape Creek and Van Horn before going on the road to play Pecos and Crane. Then, after hosting Kermit and going to Stanton, district play begins at home against TLCA, followed by a trip to Stanton, home against Reagan County and at Ballinger to wrap the regular season. “Travel will have an impact, and the overall quality of teams in the district is high,” Fellow said of the league where he believes Sonora and Big Lake are the teams to beat.

Reagan County Owls — District 3-3A D-II
Owls Long
for
Friday Night Lights
In his four-year stint as Reagan County’s head coach, Ken Campbell has helped the program reach the postseason doorstep several times. Last season the Owls broke through, finishing 3-2 in district and 6-5 overall after dropping a 22-15 bi-district nail biter to Colorado City in the school’s first playoff football game since 2007. “Last year’s team surprised a lot of people and finished 2nd in district,” Campbell said. “They overachieved through hard work, a great attitude and a never-give-up mentality.” In 2016, Campbell will welcome back seventeen lettermen from that team, including 6 starters on each side of the ball. He said the team’s nucleus is a band of seniors who have played on the varsity squad since they were sophomores. Because he can add a few key juniors to that experience and then mix in a strong group of sophomores, Campbell is optimistic about Regan County’s upcoming season. “Our kids believe in playing great defense and we should be better offensively,” Campbell explained. “I believe we will build on the success we had last year and will have another very competitive team. Sonora will still be the team to beat, but between us, Alpine, Ballinger and Texas Leadership Charter Academy, it will be the team that is able to show up every Friday night that will have the advantage in a very even and competitive district.” On offense the Owls will again look to keep opponents on their heels with a wing-T attack keyed by seniors L.J. DeLeon, Carlos Del Rio, J.D. Esquival and Angel DeLuna DeLeon utilized his dual threat abilities to snag the all-district first team spot at quarterback last season. As a passer he completed 43 of 122 passes for 697 yards and 7 touchdowns. His ball carrying contributions included 300 yards and 8 TDs on 84 carries. DeLeon also landed on the all-league first defense at safety with 44 tackles and an interception and was the second team punter with a 31.3-yard average on 41 kicks. Del Rio pounded opposing defenses for 672 yards and 3 touchdowns on just 101 carries to pick up all-district first team honors at fullback. Esquival (5-9, 225, first team all-district tackle) and DeLuna (5-9, 240, all-district second team guard) give Reagan County two of the league’s top returning offensive linemen. Esquival was also an all-league second teamer on the defensive front with 27 total tackles and 9 stops behind the line. Returning junior OL Angel Gallegos (5-9, 215) and senior wingback Tyler Aguero (12 receptions, 183 yards, 2 TDs) give the Owls two more experienced offensive contributors. Aguero was also one of the league’s top defenders in 2015, earning an all-district first team spot at outside linebacker with 46 tackles, 15 stops for loss and 7 sacks.

San Angelo TLCA Eagles — District 3-3A D-II
Eagles Soar Into Tough District In 2015, San Angelo TLC Academy’s season could be considered a success. After all, the Eagles went 7-3 overall. Unfortunately, they were only 2-3 in District 4-3A, Division II, and they missed out on a postseason birth. This year, after moving into District 3-3A, D-II, TLC Academy will look to repeat last season’s non-district success and continue riding that momentum into league play. The Eagles lost 13 lettermen from the 2015 squad and are returning nine. TLC Academy will run the wing-T offense, and a big name to watch at tight end will be senior Ethan Howard (6-4, 260). A year ago, Howard caught 5 passes for 59 yards, but his biggest strength is his blocking ability. Head coach Johnny Burleson said overall, the Eagles have good size returning and experience at the quarterback position with junior Conner Moore (5-11, 160), but he added that some young kids at the skill positions will have to grow up fast. Junior fullback Hunter Howell (5-10, 230) is the team’s top returning rusher. He and the entire TLC Academy running game will look to take advantage of a big offensive line led by junior center Mark Balkum (5-11, 240), senior guard Ryan Dela Cruz (5-10, 195) and senior tackle Hunter Hamilton (6, 205). Defensively, Howard will put his hand down in the trenches and play defensive end in the Eagles’ 4-3 front. Howard recorded 38 tackles –

5 for a loss – 3 sacks and 1 fumble in 2015. Howell registered 47 tackles at linebacker last season, and lining up next to him will be junior Luis Martinez (5-9, 176), who collected 33 tackles, 2 sacks and 1 fumble. TLC Academy’s new district opponents are Alpine, Ballinger, Big Lake Reagan County and Sonora. The Eagles are scheduled to begin the 2016 season at home against Harper on Aug. 26.

Sonora Broncos — District 3-3A D-II
Sonora Stampeding On The 2016 season is shaping up to be pretty special in Sonora. Coming off an undefeated district championship season which saw them advance to the second round of the state playoffs, the Broncos return all five players off last year’s roster, including eight starters on each side of the ball. “With eight returners on both sides of the ball, our goal is to bring the sixth state championship to Sonora,” head coach David T. Sine said. “The chemistry after our spring boot camp proved this team has the chance to be one of the best I’ve ever been associated with.” Last year figured to be a transitional one for Sonora, but the Broncos proved otherwise. “With two returners coming back on both sides of the ball and transitioning to the spread offense, it was considered to be a rebuilding year. But in Sonora we simply reload,” said Sine, who is 36-11 in four seasons with the Broncos and 103-69 in 16 years overall. A big reason for Sine’s optimism revolves around junior quarterback Kaden Cordell (6, 165, 4.6), who last season as a sophomore completed 176-of-283 passes for 2,442 yards and 26 touchdowns with 6 interceptions, while as a free safety on defense he compiled 106 tackles (31 TFLs), 5 pass breakups, 3 fumbles, and 1 interception. Cordell also averages almost 39 yards per punt. Two of Cordell’s favorite targets are back in seniors Noah San Miguel (5-8, 150, 4.7), who caught 41 passes for 671 yards and 6 TDs, and Michael Solis (5-11, 175, 4.7), who had 31 grabs for 440 yards and 6 scores. San Miguel and Solis also combined for more than 500 yards and 7 TDs, while Solis threw for 376 yards and 3 scores and San Miguel had 161 return yards and 40 tackles (8 TFLs) on defense. Another senior receiver, speedy Carter Zook (5-10, 150, 4.4), contributed 308 all-purpose yards, 38 tackles and 1 interception while nursing multiple injuries. Junior Jarrett Jackson (5-7, 155) is the team’s top returning rusher with 507 yards and 6 scores on 68 carries. While Sonora has no shortage of talented skill-position players, the Broncos are rich in the trenches as well. Heading up the hogs is a trio of seniors in Bryndon Robles (6, 255, 5.1), Liam Yourgalite (6-1, 210, 4.7) and Josh Galindo (5-8, 200). Robles graded out at 83 percent on the offensive line and had 50 tackles (19 TFLs) and 4 sacks on D, while Yourgalite graded out at 80% and had 82 tackles (36 TFLs)

and 4 sacks. “Bryndon is a big-time leader who is coming off knee surgery. He looks to come back stronger than ever,” said Sine, who described Yourgalite as a “strong, physical lineman who is also athletic enough to be a skill player.” Of Galindo, the coach said, “He’s a smart, hard-nosed young man who can play at any offensive line position.” Sonora’s 10-1 defense will include a pair of experienced linebackers in seniors Isaiah Lira (5-10, 180, 4.8) who had 73 tackles (24 TFLs) and Michael Mungia (5-10, 164) who had 66 tackles (17 TFLs). Among the new faces for the Broncos will be sophomores Brandon Martinez (5-11, 165, 4.9), Wesley Dutton (5-11, 150, 4.8) and Walker Sine (5-9, 145, 4.8). Martinez, a running back and linebacker, moved up off the JV in the second half of last season for cleanup duty. “He looks to earn a larger role and compete for carries in a stacked backfield,” Coach Sine said. Both Dutton and Walker Sine are versatile receivers/ defensive backs with Dutton also playing quarterback. “He is a speedy younger who looks to find his niche on a team full of talent,” said Coach Sine, who called Walker Sine a “smart football player.” Sonora’s season begins Aug. 26 in Ozona then comes home to take on Llano. Then it’s at Junction, home against Jim Ned, at Crane and homecoming against Iraan. Following an open week, district begins at home against Alpine, at Reagan County, home against Ballinger, and at San Angelo TLCA. “The district will be extremely competitive, and every week will be a challenge,” Coach Sine said. “It will feature a lot of familiar faces for us. With that being said, the familiarity makes for good rivalry and good competition. With teams like Big Lake and TLCA on the rise and always-tough Alpine and Ballinger, the district looks to be pretty competitive.”

Dublin Lions— District 4-3A D-II
Lions Hungry To Win
There are lots of “firsts” happening in Dublin these days, including winning back-to-back bi-district titles, and coach Bob Cervetto is determined to make more history in 2016. The Lions overcame a slew of injuries and secured a spot in the playoffs for just the third time in school history in 2015. They defeated Blooming Grove, 18-15, before falling to a tough Corrigan-Camden squad in the area round, 78-35. The Lions ended with a 5-7 record. The challenge now remains to keep forging forward, something Dublin will do with a class of 13 returning seniors. “We’re looking to have over 70 kids in the program (9-12). We’re trying to reach the playoffs for the third year in a row,” said Cervetto, who in five years with the Lions is 19-35. The Lions lost just over half of last year’s roster, resulting in 16 lettermen returning including six starters on offense and four on defense. One of the Lions’ strengths is their offensive front where three all-district players reside in center Juan Pablo Garcia, Jose Villalobos, and Ethan Price, who was honored as a sophomore. Their job is to protect veteran quarterback Brady Moore, who last year completed 29-of-67 passes for 428 yards with 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions in Dublin’s spread offense. Experienced receivers include Bryson Fowler, Trask Brown and Brayden Burleson. On defense in the Lions’ 4-2-5 alignment, returning regulars include linebacker Gabe Coronado who recorded 108 tackles, 4 tackles for loss and 2 fumble recoveries a year ago. He’s joined at end by Jacob Riley, who had 55 stops, including 5.5 for loss, 1 sack and 1 fumble recovery, and in the secondary by Gabe Garcia. Utility player Ryan Gaitan will make his presence felt as well. Cervetto looks for contributions from newcomers Keith Right at running back, Jacob Stanley at linebacker, Jacob Owen in the secondary, and utility player Josh Hanes. Dublin opens the season by taking on Hico on Aug. 26 at TSU, followed a week later by the homeopener against Albany then a game at Mary-Hardin Baylor against Teague. After hosting Breckenridge and going to Bosqueville, district play opens on the road against Cisco. Then it’s home against Eastland, at Tolor and Coleman, then back home to wind up the regular-season against Bangs. Cervetto thinks Coleman, Eastland and Cisco are the top three in the league. “It’s a very tough district,” the coach said.

Panhandle Panthers — District 1-2A D-I
Panther Pride Back On Coach Dane Ashley took over the Panhandle football program last year and immediately put a positive stamp on The Panther tradition. Ashley, an Eddie Metcalf, Brad Thiessen disciple has the program poised to begin the kind of successful tradition both of those men established at their various coaching stops. Ashley, an Angelo State alum also credits Ken Plunk as a major coaching influence. Last season the Panthers claimed victory in Ashley’s head coaching debut with a (27-7) win over Farwell. The team got a look at the other side of the coin with a week two loss to Spearman (12-29), but recaptured momentum with three straight wins over Sundown (3314), Sunray (43-34) and Quanah (25-20) to finish out the non district schedule. The winning ways continued with the onset of District play as the Panthers blanked boys Ranch (420) to earn an impressive shut-out. After falling to the always tough Stratford, (35-61), Panhandle bounce back to best West Texas High (21-7). Despite a pair of losses in the final two district games against Canadian (7-56) and Wellington (13-22), the Panthers still qualified for post season play. Making the most of that opportunity,

Panhandle claimed a Bi-District win over New Deal (3531), but the run ended on the Area Round with a narrow loss to Anson (29-37). “Last Seasons team did an outstanding job buying in and adapting to a new system and philosophy,” Ashley said. Looking ahead at 2016 Coach Ashley said, “I am very excited about the upcoming season, because we have a good nucleus of kids returning and our athletes have spent a full year in our system and our off-season program.” Sixteen lettermen return for the Panthers including six starters to their Split Veer Offense. Defensively, Panhandle is in even better shape with eight starters back to man coordinator Jonathan Wise’s 4-2-5 set. Coaches cite leadership is the team’s overall strength and depth as one area of concern.

All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26 So I run with purpose in every step.

Sanford-Fritch Eagles — District 1-2A D-1
E agles S et to R eturn F ight T o C lass 2A
After they spent the last two football seasons competing in Class 3A, UIL realignment has returned Sanford-Fritch to the Class 2A ranks in 2016. Last season the Eagles finished 4-7 overall and 3-2 in league play to earn a playoff birth in head coach Houston Moos’ first year with the program. They were eliminated by eventual 3A state quarterfinalist Henrietta in the bi-district round. “We had good senior leadership,” Moos said. “They helped set the stage by leading the team to the playoffs.” In his second year at S-F, Moos will field one of the most experienced teams in District 1-2A. Among the Seventeen lettermen the Eagles expect to have back are eight returning starters on offense and seven holdovers on defense. Moos said the team’s experience and work ethic will be strengths against a new district schedule that includes 2015 state quarterfinalist Stratford, area round qualifiers Sunray and Panhandle and hungry upstarts West Texas High and Boys Ranch. “We need to get off to a good start, stay healthy and finish strong,” Moos Said. “Our district is extremely tough top to bottom.” To lead the Eagles’ 4-2-5 defense, Moos can look to seniors Bobby Hudson and Ty Hunnicutt. Last season Hudson collected 134 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 3 sacks and an interception. His performance earned alldistrict first team honors at inside linebacker and an all-state honorable mention.

Hunnicutt picked up his all-district first team spot in the secondary. His contributions included 33 tackles, 3 stops behind the line of scrimmage and 2 interceptions. Moos also expects big performances from senior Beau Robbins at linebacker and classmate Brett Hester at defensive back. Last season Robbins chipped in 39 tackles and 1 interception while Hester posted 41 tackles and picked off 1 pass. On the defensive line, Fritch will plug in two more seniors in Zach Stamps and Davin Holjes. In their junior campaigns, Stamps put up 28 tackles and 3 stops for loss and Holjes recorded 24 tackles and 2 sacks. Offensively, S-F returns a trio of experienced linemen in seniors Jadon Hanifin, Caleb Bass and Hayden Southall. Hanifin and Bass are both two-year starters at guard and Southall is a transfer from Class 4A Borger.

At the skill positions, junior running back Anthony Rangel is the top returnee. Last season he was a leader in the Eagles’ wing-T ground attack with 844 yards and 7 touchdowns on just 76 carries. He also caught 4 passes for 90 yards. Senior running back Jacob Hanifin 3 carries, 40 yards, 1 TD and senior wide receiver Zach Jewett 7 receptions, 149 yards, 3 TDs should also see increased action in 2016. Last year Jewett also handled the Sanford-Fritch punting chores. His 35-yard average landed him on the all-district second team. Other players to watch for S-F in 2016 include senior wide receiver/defensive back Nikolas Westbrook, juniors Jacob Jeffers (tight end/defensive back), Adam Zuniga (quarterback/ linebacker) and Josh Townsend (OL/DL) and promising newcomers Brody Williams and Logan Moffitt. The Eagles 2016 flight begins Aug. 26 at Spearman. After playing host to Highland Park in the Sept. 2 home opener, they return to the road for a Sept. 9 contest at Tulia. They complete non-district play with the Sept. 16 homecoming game against Vega and a Sept. 23 trip to River Road. Sanford-Fritch enters the District 1-2A fray by hosting Boys Ranch on Oct. 7. Following an Oct. 14 battle at Sunray, they return home for consecutive tussles against Stratford (Oct. 21) and Panhandle (Oct. 28). Their final league challenge is slated for Nov. 4 at West Texas High.

Stratford Elks District- 1-2A D-I
Elks Ready To Make A Run The Stratford Elks kept to their winning ways last season despite the retirement of longtime Head coach Eddie Metcalf. Matt Lovorn took over the football program and further solidified Stratford’s long standing tradition of excellence and strong coaching. The Elks began Coach Lovorn’s tenure with five straight wins to sweep the non district schedule over Sunray (4113), Tulia (73-0), Sanford-Fritch (62-0), Bushland (4413), and Clayton, New Mexico (49-8). Stratford stuck to its winning ways with victories over Wellington (13-8) and Panhandle (61-35) to begin District. It is quite possible Stratford was the second best 2A team in the state of Texas last season. Unfortunately for the Elks they happened to share a district with the overall best team in Canadian. Stratford closed out the regular season with triumphs over Boys Ranch (56-0) and Stinnett (54-7). A Bi-District win over Floydada (42-14) sent the Elks to an Area Round game versus Hawley. Stratford won that game (54-19) and followed it with another playoff victory over Wellington (42-8). In their second straight post season game against a district foe, Stratford again faced Canadian and again

came up short (0-31) to see their season end. Canadian went on to claim their second straight state championship without any playoff opponent playing them closer than the Elks. “We had great leadership last season with a big senior class,” Coach Lovorn said. “We accomplished a lot of goals. Last season’s team made it to the State Quarterfinals for the thirteenth time in school history.” Along with all those quarterfinals visits, the Elks have claimed three state titles in 2000, 2005, and 2008. Despite the graduation of a talented class, the ten returning lettermen will hope to lead Stratford to another in 2016. “This upcoming season we will look forward to a solid senior class who have put in a bunch of hard work in the

off-season,” said Coach Lovorn. “We will also have to depend on some young players to step in and fill some important roles.” Four seniors will be pivotal to the Elks success. Parker Hanna OL/DL (6-6, 240, 5.2, Sr.) is a force at both lines of scrimmage. Graded out at 91% on offense, Hanna racked up 65 tackles including 6 sacks last season. Russell Spurlock OL/DL (6-6, 220, 5.1, Sr.) adds to Stratford stellar line. Spurlock received a 90% grade on offense and made 73 tackles with 1 sack in 2015. Gage Brooks RB/LB (6-1, 210, 4.8, Sr.) returns after gaining 1004 yards and scoring 15 touchdowns last season.

the ball, and 56 tackles with 3 interceptions, and 1 fumble recovery for 3 defensive touchdowns as well. All 4 players possess the potential to be All-State selections. A trio of juniors also figures to be key players for the Elks. Ruben Gonzales OL/LB (5-11, 230, 5.4, Jr.), Kade McBryde QB/LB (6-1, 170, 4.9, Jr.), and Shay Hess RB/DB (5-10, 160, 4.7, Jr.) will play vital roles. Another player to watch is Kobi Garza and promising newcomers to the varsity roster include Jaime Jacquez, Julio Duran, Angel Guerra, and Luis Mendoza. Looking ahead at the season after UIL redistricting, coach Lovorn said, “We lost two teams from a very competitive district, Canadian and Wellington, but picked up two very quality programs in Sunray and Sanford-Fritch.

Sunray Bobcats— District 1-2A D-I
Sunray Tradition Is Toughness Over the last 15 years, Sunray has established one of the area’s most consistent football programs, with 13 post-season appearances during that time. The last four of those appearances have come during Kurt Haberthur’s five years as the program’s head coach, including 2015 when the Bobcats finished 7-5 overall and 4-1 in District 1-2A Divison I to claim the league’s top playoff seed. Their post-season push included a bi-district win against Sudan and an area round loss to Memphis. “Pre-district was a learning experience for us and we believe we were able to draw off that experience in the district race,” Haberthur said. This year Sunray will have 13 lettermen returning from last year’s squad. The holdovers include 6 players who started on offense and 5 who earned first-string status on defense. The Bobcats will also move to District 1-2A Division I, and though they will face a new league lineup, the teams they will battle for a playoff birth— Stratford, Sanford-Fritch, West Texas High, Panhandle and Boys Ranch—are all familiar foes from past district and playoff battles. “We are very excited to see the hard work from the weight room, track season and summer workouts pay

off,” Haberthur said. “We return good experienced players and we are looking forward to the guys coming to varsity off of last year’s undefeated JV team. Our district is always tough top to bottom, and this year is no exception. We have good coaches in our district, so we will have to be ready to play our A game every week.” On offense, Sunray returns a pair of talented skill players in seniors Ethan Brotherton and Kason Scroggins. Despite missing three games in 2015, Brotherton still distinguished himself as one of the area’s top big play artists with 1,449 yards rushing and 19 touchdowns on just 153 carries. He also registered 70 tackles and a pair of interceptions as a defensive back and was named the league’s MVP. Scroggins proved to be an efficient passer,

completing 92 of 172 passes for 1,351 yards and 12 TDs. “Ethan is a good leader and is quick to give credit to the offensive line,” Haberthur said. “Kason is a very fundamental quarterback with great arm strength and accuracy. He runs our offense very well and is the coach on the field.” The Bobcats also return a trio of experienced offensive linemen in senior Mason Holloway (5-10, 180) and juniors Weston Lane (6-2, 240) and Cole Crownover (6-3, 270). In addition to being an all-district first teamer on offense, Holloway earned all-league second team honors on the defensive front with 78 total tackles, 20 tackles for loss and 3 sacks. “Mason is a four-year starter and a great lineman,”

Haberthur said. “He takes great pride in his blocking and tackling and is a key cog in our line play.” Lane was tabbed the all-district second team center and Crownover pitched in on the defensive line with 45 tackles and 8 stops for loss. The Sunray defense will also feature one of the area’s top underclassmen in sophomore linebacker Frey Diaz, who racked up 70 total stops, 20 tackles behind the line, 3 sacks and 1 interception as a freshman. Other Bobcats to watch in 2016 include senior wide receiver/defensive back Giovanni Ruiz, senior tight end/ defensive back Edwin Ortega, senior TE/DL Josh Pipkin (6-4, 240) and senior Logan Whitlow. Haberthur said the team’s most promising newcomers include junior RB/DB Luis Cadena, junior lineman Sean Bain, junior QB/DE Rhett Rouser, junior WR/DB Xavier Jiminez and sophomore OL/DL Andrew Chacon (6-0, 210). Sunray’s 2016 effort gets underway Aug. 26 when they travel to Highland Park. After playing host to Gruver on Sept. 2 and Spearman on Sept. 9, they venture to New Deal for a Sept. 16 clash with the Lions and then head to Vega for a Sept. 23 tussle against the Longhorns. The Bobcats’ opportunity to land a District 1-2A postseason slot begins Oct. 7 at Stratford. Following an Oct. 14 home defense against Sanford-Fritch, they travel to Stinnett for an Oct. 21 battle with West Texas High. Their final league assignments include an Oct. 28 home game against Boys Ranch and a Nov. 4 visit to Panhandle.

West Texas High Comanches — District 1-2A D-I
Comanches Ready For Battle Looks can be deceiving. On the surface one might look at the Comanches record and assume they are a team and a program struggling, but fact is West Texas High has been better than their record these past two seasons and they are a team on the rise. Head Coach Steven Flowers has led the Comanches to a 5-15 record since taking over the program. Given that the school won but one game total the two seasons prior to his arrival WT’s five wins is already a big improvement. But to be fair the Comanches have spent the last two seasons in probably the toughest football district in the state. Two seasons of growing, learning a program, and improving by being forced to battle against such stiff competition. With the arrival of the 2016 and UIL redistricting, the schedule will again be tough but perhaps not quite as tough. And WT welcomes back a solid core of returning starters who have had time in the system. The program in ready to bloom under Coach Flowers and a postseason berth is a very reachable goal this season.

Last season WT High began with a resounding (55-0) win over Gruver. Following a (21-43) loss to Vega the Comanches rebounded with a (27-12) triumph against Wheeler. A loss to Sanford-Fritch (13-36) was followed by a narrow one point defeat to Spearman (33-34) in the final non district game. Twotime state champion Canadian took down WT next (7-62). A big win over Boys Ranch (61-6) proved to be the Comanches only district win as they fell to the tough trio of Panhandle(7-21), Wellington (35-48), and Stratford (7-54) to finish the season 3-7 overall. “The team moved forward through the season with expectation of the playoffs,” said Coach Flowers. “Only came up short of our goal because of inexperience in

finishing games.” The Comanches will be long on experience heading into 2016 with fourteen letterman back including six offensive starters. WT works from a Spread style offense with Jeff Smith serving as coordinator. Defensive coordinator Wade Wilson has even more experience to rely with eight starters back to man his 42 Set. Nate Thompson WR/DE (6-5, 210, 4.8, Sr) gives the Comanches a big talented target in the receiving game. Emilio Hernandez WR/DB (5-11, 175, 4.65, Jr.) provides a speed option at the position. Junior Brandon Seaman brings the most experience under center and Dallas Riggs is another threat out of the backfield.

Wilson and Young are also stalwarts up front on defense. Trey Griffin LB (6-2, 210, 4.8, Sr.) and the aforementioned Riggs head up the linebacking unit. Seaman and Hernandez return to the secondary. Dalin Williams WR/DE (6-7, 210, 4.9, Jr.) figures to be another key contributor for the Comanches this coming season. As does Kenny Monden WR/DB (5-9, 165, 4.84, Jr.).

Eldorado Eagles — District 3-2A D-I
Eagles Aiming For Playoffs Eldorado head coach Bryan Green has led the Eagles to the postseason in each of his three years at the helm. The Kelly Green and White have been unable to get past the bi-district round in any of those three seasons, however, and they have not been able to finish above the .500 mark, either. They went 4-7 in 2013, 3-8 in 2014 and 5-6 in 2015. But doing enough to get into the playoffs and giving yourself a chance is all that matters, and Eldorado has been able to do just that. The Eagles have lost 12 lettermen to graduation and will be welcoming back seven returners in 2016. We will have a lot of positions to fill with a lot of younger players,” Green said. “We just hope we can get better and better throughout the year and be ready when the time counts.” Eldorado will also be moving up from Division II to Division I and into District 3-2A with Anthony, Christoval, McCamey and Ozona.“Moving up from Division II to Division I could pose some new challenges for us,” Green said, “but it will be a very competitive district week in and week out.” The Eagles are returning two starters to their wishbone offense while bringing back just one starter to their 4-3 defense. Overall, Green believes the team’s strength is their attitude, but he feels they will be lacking in experience. Green lists Mathias Buitron and Jerry Cuellar as all-state potentials, and he thinks some players to watch are Keanu Hernandez, Bernardo Cruz, Kraig Cadena, Julio Narvaez, Will Mynatt, Albert Arispe, Wyatt Mertz, David Tompkins, Blaine Aker and Jack Griffin. Some promising newcomers who could provide a

shot in the arm are Emiliano Hernandez, Elias Luna and Kevin Covarrubiaz, according to Green. Eldorado is scheduled to begin the season at home on Aug. 26 against Rocksprings at 7:30 p.m. It will play its first league game at home, as well, on Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. against Christoval, and it will finish the regular season at McCamey on Oct. 28 at 7:30 p.m.

Abernathy Antelopes — District 2-2A D-I
Maroon & White To Paint Their Way To State
After settling for second place a year ago, the Abernathy Antelopes are anxious to move to the front of the pack in 2016. “We’re ready to challenge for the district championship,” coach Darrell Daily said. Seventeen lettermen were lost from last year’s 7-4 team that fell to Wellington (28-8) in the first round of the playoffs a year after winning regionals, which followed three consecutive area championships. Thirteen veterans are back, including four starters on each side of the line. “We should get stronger as we go,” noted Daily, who is 60-24 in eight seasons at the helm, including playoff appearances the last six straight years. Carrying the flag for the Antelopes in 2016 will be Xavier Rivera, the 6-foot-3, 305-pound senior offensive tackle and defensive end. Rivera graded out at 90 percent and had 70 pancakes last year, while on defense he was in on 24 tackles (5 TFLs) and forced 1 fumble. Helping out up front will be fellow senior Jacob Rosales (5-8, 220, 5.4) at defensive tackle. Rosales was credited with 36 tackles (21 solo, 8 TFL) in 2015. A third pivotal senior all-state candidate for the ’Lopes is running back

Mark Pando (5-8, 180, 4.81), who will be looking to step up his production from last year when he rushed for 384 yards and scored five touchdowns on 68 touches in Abernathy’s multiple-I offense. Other seniors Daily is expecting to perform are Bryson Kitchens, Jaiden Perez and Javier Camacho. Kitchens (5-11, 210, 4.95) was a first-team all-district guard and honorable mention alldistrict linebacker, while Perez, a cornerback, was the league’s Newcomer of the Year. Camacho plays fullback and linebacker. Looking to take over quarterbacking duties will be a pair of juniors in Zachary Ponciano (5-8, 150, 4.9), a cornerback on defense, and Donovan Rodriguez (5-8, 175, 4.92), who played fullback last year.

be challenged by freshman Bryson Daily, who could see action at linebacker in Abernathy’s 4-3 defense. Catching their passes will be junior Kole Kurklin (5-8, 150, 4.8), who snared 10 passes for 142 yards and a TD last year when he was second-team all-district, and sophomore Joseph Sanchez. Senior Robert Rodriguez gives Abernathy a proven kicker, having booted 24-of-36 PATs in 2015. Many of the other starters, including sophomore center Nate Sullivan (5-10, 200, 5.4) will be coming off a junior varsity team that last year went 8-1. Daily likes his team’s speed and quickness as well as the Antelopes’ experience up front, but a lack of experience at skill positions will have to be overcome.

Abernathy gets things rolling Aug. 26 at Post before playing its next three at home against Tulia, Dimmitt and, following an open week, Memphis for homecoming. After going to Roosevelt, the Antelopes hop back on the bus to open district against Sundown. Then it’s home against Olton, at Floydada, home against New Deal and at Hale Center to round out the regular season. “The district will be stronger than last year as a group,” Daily predicted. “Floydada and Hale Center both have a lot of starters back. New Deal lost a great senior class but has good, young classes. Olton has a new coach and will be stronger, and Sundown moving in will strength the district.”

Floydada Whirlwinds— District 2-2A D-I
Floydada
hopes to continue success
Things didn’t look good for Floydada when the Whirlwinds won just one of their first five games a year ago. But coach Todd Bandy’s team rebounded to win three games in district and make the playoffs, where they were eliminated in the first round, 42-14, by a Stratford team that advanced to the quarterfinals before falling to eventual state champion Canadian. “We really came along in district play,” Bandy said of last year’s squad. Nine players were lost to graduation, among them quarterback Kyi Baker, Josh Castaneda and Josh Gonzales. That left 17 lettermen, including seven starters on offense and eight regulars on defense. Of Floydada’s 2016 team, Bandy said the Whirlwinds “should be better with overall team speed.” Among the veterans is senior cornerback JJ Segura (5-11, 160, 4.7), who last year recorded 45 tackles with 4 interceptions and 11 pass break-ups despite opposing offenses steering clear of Segura. He’ll be joined in Floydada’s split 4-2-5 defense by senior linebacker Albert Dehoyos (5-10, 175), senior end Mark McGowen (6-2, 170), senior end Robert Mora (5-9, 180), senior outside linebacker Alfonzo Mendoza (5-10, 150), senior back Tyler

Saldana (5-8, 140) and junior end Miguel Pena (6-0, 165), along with talented sophomore end Cardell Wickware (5-10, 150). Last year, Dehoyos compiled 97 tackles (6 TFL) with 3 fumbles and an interception; McGowen had 36 stops (11 TFL) with 5 sacks and 2 fumbles; Mora 42 tackles; Saldana 43 tackles; and Pena 77 tackles (10 TFL) with 4 sacks and 2 fumbles. Pena also handled kicking chores, averaging about 33 yards a punt while making 32-of-36 PATs. Looking at Floydada’s multiple/2-back offense, senor Corey Mathis (6-0, 205, 4.6) returns after rushing for 1,098 yards and 7 touchdowns on 184 carries in 2015. Senior Abraham Perez (5-7, 140) will join Mathis in the backfield. McGowen was a second-team all-district tackle

while senior Carson Turner (5-9, 180) was a starter a year ago and senior Evan Ybarra (5-8, 275) got playing time. Floydada will have a new quarterback under center, possibly sophomore Andrew Vega (5-8, 145), and limited receiving experience. Dehoyos and junior Chris Emert (5-9, 145, 4.7) are the top experienced hands with about 200 total receiving yards between them. The Whirlwinds open their season in Slaton on Aug. 26 then play three of their next four at home, starting with Seagraves then Lockney for homecoming. After going to Friona, the Mean Green hosts Roosevelt which leads into an open week and then the start of district. Floydada goes to Hale Center and New Deal then hosts Abernathy, goes to Sundown then hosts Olton to complete the regularseason. “The district will be tougher with Sundown taking Tahoka’s place,” said Bandy, who is 26-47 in seven seasons at Floydada and 43-73 overall, including four years at Brady. Bandy feels Abernathy and New Deal are the favorites.

Hale Center Owls — District 2-2A D-I
Cummings has Owls Expecting More in 2016
In his first season as the head football coach at Hale Center, Adam Cummings had to be patient with as the team adjusted to his approach on and off the field. Last season that patience was rewarded as Cummings’ second Owl squad put together a 5-6 effort that included a 2-3 district mark and the program’s second playoff appearance in the last three seasons. Though their post-season ended with a bi-district round loss to eventual state champion Canadian, Cummings believes the best may yet be ahead for Hale Center. “The players did a great job,” Cummings said. “We got into the playoffs and took a step in the right direction.” In his third year with the Owls, Cummings will have 8 starters back on both sides of the ball. The roster lacks overall size, which means the depth chart is a bit short along the offensive and defensive lines, but Cummings said the team’s speed and quickness could prove to be a big weapon. Cummings also expects little change in the level of league competition. In fact, UIL realignment left the district mostly unspoiled, with the only change being Sundown moving in and Tahoka moving out. “The expectations are high,” Cummings stressed. “The kids are excited and working really hard. Our district is pretty much the same as the last two years: tough top to bottom.”

Anthony Borjas
Jose Ramirez
On offense, Hale Center will have plenty of spark at the skill positions with the return of senior wide receivers Anthony Borjas and Jose Ramirez and classmate Zae Richards at running back. Borjas hauled in 35 passes for 681 yards and 5 touchdowns last season to garner all-district first team honors. He also recorded 30 tackles, 2 interceptions and another score on defense for an all-league second team spot in the secondary. Ramirez 24 catches, 375 yards, 5 TDs and Richards 121 carries, 732 yards, 5 TDs each earned an all-district second team nod. Richards was also a big contributor in the defensive backfield with 35 tackles, 3 fumble recoveries and an interception. Junior RB Jayden Harvey collected 318 yards and 3 touchdowns as a sophomore and gives the Owls another solid option for 2016. Cummings expects the starting quarterback to emerge
478
from a group that includes junior Brandon Castillo, who was named one of the district’s top newcomers in 2015. The other contenders will likely be promising junior newcomer Jace Cannon and sophomore Ryan Sandoval. The offensive line will be anchored by a trio of returnees in guard Dillon Johnson (6-2, 305, Sr.), center Jake Martinez (5-10, 215, Sr.) and tackle Quentin Bendele (6-1, 250). Johnson was an all-district second teamer last season. On defense, the Owls will look to senior inside linebacker Beau King to lead the front seven. King picked up all-district first team recognition last year with 95 tackles, 1 sack and 2 fumble recoveries. Senior outside linebacker E.J. Gonzalez 38 tackles, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 interception will rejoin King behind the line while senior Lance Lucero 23 tackles, 1 sack and junior James Martinez 19 tackles will help shore up the defensive front. Junior kicker Adrian Sifuentes is also back to lead the special teams charge after earning all-league second team honors last season when he hit 20 of 22 extra points tries and 3 of 4 field goal attempts, including a 42-yarder. Other Owls who could make noise this season include senior running back/defensive back Keilyn Wilson, junior WR/DB Jet Cannon and sophomore WR/LB Ayden Rogers.

New Deal Lions — District 2-2A D-I
LIONS NEW PRIDE The 2015 season was a blast for the New Deal Lions…for sure the first 10 games. New Deal won all 10 of them and earned the district championship before narrowly falling in the bi-district game to Panhandle, (3531). “We had a great group of kids. What we lacked in size we made up for with speed. It was really fun being a part of that team with those great young men,” coach Matt Hill said. Graduation claimed 13 players off the 2015 roster, leaving 15 veterans including five starters on both sides of the ball. “In 2016 we will need some of our younger players to come through. We will also rely on our starters from 2015 to play both ways,” said Hill, who is (18-4) in his two years with the Lions. “We hope to be bigger and stronger up front, and we will still have some speed and maybe a little more size.” New Deal will rely a lot on a three skill position players in senior receiver Mark Adams, senior quarterback Jaxson Durham and sophomore running back Jett Whitfield. Adams (5-6, 170, 4.5) caught 31 passes for 784 yards and 9 touchdowns in 2015. “He has great hands and speed,”

Hill said. Durham (6-1, 160, 4.9) had an amazing junior season, completing 136-of-239 passes for 2,077 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. “Jaxson makes good decisions with the ball,” Hill said of the signal-caller of his spread offense. Whitfield (6-0, 190, 4.75) saw limited playing time last season in the offensive backfield but will be counted on to pick up the slack for a running game that last year churned out almost 2,000 yards. On defense as a linebacker, Whitfield was in on 56 tackles and 5 sacks. In the trenches, senior Ernest Andrada and Jesse Alonzo are back. “Ernest became a leader of the line, and Jesse made great improvements during the year,” Hill said. Alonzo, who recorded 34 tackles and 2 sacks on defense, and Andrada will get reinforcements from junior Corbin Steadman, who Hill said was a big force on last year’s junior varsity.

lineman Zach Caudill. New Deal plays three of its first four games at home, starting with the season-opener against Roosevelt Aug. 26. After going to Lamesa, the Lions host Slaton for homecoming and Sunray before going to Tulia and, after an open week, Olton for the district opener. After that it’s at Floydada, home against Hale Center and Abernathy, and finally at newcomer Sundown to end the regularseason. “The new district will be tough. With most of the teams being the same and the addition of Sundown, the district will be very competitive,” said Hill, who believes Abernathy is the team to beat.

Olton Mustangs — District 2-2A D-I
Lassiter Takes The Reins In Olton There’s not a lot of mystery where Ross Lassiter is focusing much of his efforts in his first season as a head coach in Olton. “Last season’s team gave up 365 points. We will need to place an emphasis on defense this season,” said Lassiter, who served as defensive coordinator last season at Gonzales after previous coaching stops in his hometown of Brownfield, Muleshoe, Lockney, San Angelo Central and Groesbeck. The 46-year-old Lassiter replaces Lance Hogle, now the offensive coordinator at Plains. The Mustangs went 2-18 each of the past two years and have not had a winning season since 2011 under Joel Baker. Lassiter hopes to update that to 2016 with the help of seven starters back from last season on each side of the ball among 14 returning lettermen. Eight lettermen were lost, including talented lineman Jacob Jalomo and receiver Bryan Valencia. “We have a lot of young starters returning this season. We return many of our skill players but will need to develop linemen on both sides of the ball.” Lassiter has three top-notch seniors around which to build in quarterback T.J. McCall, receiver Jordan

White and lineman Bryson Goen. McCall (5-10, 165, 4.6) completed 70-of-130 passes for 962 yards with 5 touchdowns and 5 interceptions last year, when he also ran for 1,020 yards and 10 TDs on just 90 carries. On defense as a linebacker, McCall, who also punts, accounted for 39 tackles (5 TFLs) and 3 interceptions. White (6-3, 180, 4.6) hopes to stay healthy after missing much of last season with injury, although he managed 37 pass receptions for 318 yards and 2 TDs. “Jordan is a talented athlete with good speed and jumping ability,” Lassiter said. Of Goen (6-4, 285, 5.41), the coach said, “Bryson has the size and feet to be an exceptional offensive lineman.” Other experienced skill position players back to

Lassiter makes his head coaching debut with Olton with a trip to Memphis before the Mustangs’ home-opener against Ralls. Other non-district games are at Farwell, home against Bovina and at Lockney. District play begins at home against New Deal, then it’s at Abernathy, home against Sundown and Hale Center, and at Floydada to end the regular-season. “We are competing in a very competitive district,” Lassiter said. “Not much has changed with the new realignment; we lose Tahoka and gain Sundown. The district will be solid top to bottom.

Sundown Roughnecks— District 2-2A D-I
Roughnecks Stepping Up In 2016 A move up from Division I to Division II will be make the 2016 season a challenging one for Sundown and head coach Steve Smith, but with a roster that includes a Bull and a Rock, the Roughnecks should be able to hold their own. “We are looking forward to continued improvement and the challenge of moving up a classification,” Smith said. The Roughnecks are coming off a playoff appearance after going 4-6 in the regular season but 2-2 in the district to qualify for the postseason, where Sundown fell in the first round to Crosbyton, 21-6. “We experienced a lot of growth and overcame a lot of adversity,” said Smith, who was 5-5 in his first season at the helm of the Roughnecks before last year’s 4-7 mark. Smith is 91-62 for his career that also includes positions at Anton, Archer City and Post. Nine players were lost to graduation, leaving 14 lettermen including five starters on each side of the line of scrimmage. A trio of senior veterans in Bull Smith, Ladd Wilkes and Link Wilkes will be among those leading the charge. Smith is a 6-foot-1, 285-pound all-state offensive lineman who last season recorded 44 tackles, six fumbles

and a sack in Sundown’s 3-4 defense. The Wilkes boys (Ladd is 5-10, 190, 4.8 and Link is 5-10, 185, 4.7) are both linebackers, with Ladd coming up with 90 tackles (2 TFLs), two fumbles and an interception in 2015 and Link, who as a running back garnered 1,056 yards and 10 touchdowns on 268 attempts, getting 75 stops (6 TFLs), six sacks, two fumbles and a pick. Another possible allstater in the trenches for the Roughnecks is junior lineman Brice Spencer (6-2, 205, 4.9), who last year was in on 46 tackles (5 TFLs), one sack and one fumble. Smith and Spencer will be joined up front by Seth Rucker. Returning to quarterback Sundown’s “I” offense is Rock Thoms, who in 2015 completed 74 of 160 passes for 598 yards with six touchdowns and three interceptions. More experience is found in punter/kicker Marc Cabrera,

who in 2015 averaged 38.2 yards per punt. Others being counted on by Smith are Moises Garza, Justin Torrez, Caleb Fowler, Jimmy Jiminez, Kwade Baccus, Gerardo Carrion, Johnny Hernandez and Isaac Hernandez. Meanwhile, the newcomers looking to make an impact include Chandler Shillig, Steven Quininilla, AB Bocenegra, Hunter Stanley and Zach Smith. Sundown will have its hands full facing the likes of Abernathy and New Deal as well as Floydada and Hale Center, plus Olton, in a district that figures to be solid from top to bottom. “It’s a very strong district with lots of playoff experience and athletic kids,” Smith said. Sundown kicks off the season August 26th on the road against Wink.

McCamey Badgers — District 3-2A D-I
Badgers Dig In For The Fight In 2016 McCamey faced quite a few obstacles in new Head Coach Ricky Peacock’s first season atop the program. Given that the players were learning their third new system in the last few years, the Badgers should take noticeable strides with a full season under their belt to learn Coach Peacock’s system. Reflecting on last season Peacock said, “We were challenged at the quarterback position by injuries, but the team improved as the season progressed. Still we were in the playoff race losing the last two district games by only three points and then two points.” The Badgers opened 2015 with four straight losses to Reagan County (0-23), Coahoma (9-28), San Angelo TLC (7-17), and Iraan (3-43), before beating Wink (20-8) to snap that streak. After a one game setback to Van Horn (0-29) the Badgers claimed an important win in the district opener over Christoval (28-21). Unfortunately that would be the last win on the season as McCamey fell to Forsan (7-42), Anthony (21-14), and Ozona (22-24).

That last two narrow defeats proved crucial but the Badgers welcome back fifteen lettermen including eight starters on offense and seven on defense and that experience could be enough to propel them in the postseason for 2016. “We’ve had a successful offseason,” Coach Peacock said, “And with several key players returning we have the potential for a good season. We just need a couple of young players to step up and provide some depth.” Key players to watch include Mark Juarez, Angel Mckee, Zach Rosales, Taelor Pister, Eric Ibarra, and Robert Mckee. Promising newcomers to the roster include Gunnca Admas, Carson Fuentes, and Luka Arana. Other impact players include Robert Silva,

Ozona Lions — District 3-2A D-I
Freeman
Lions
leading the
Snyder native Kyle Freeman has taken over in Ozona where the Lions look to return to the state playoffs, but this time stick around a little longer. Last season Ozona, after finishing third in district, fell in bi-district to Stamford, (55-6), and ended with a (4-7) record. Freeman could be the person to lead the Lions in taking the next step after he helped Bruni High School, near Laredo, to the Class 2A Division II state quarterfinals in both of his seasons as head coach, forging a (22-5) record. The Badgers, who fell to state champion Bremond last season, had won only three playoff games prior to Freeman’s arrival. Eight lettermen were lost off Ozona’s 2015 squad, leaving 16 veterans. Of those, five were starters on offense and defense. “We have high enthusiasm and had a good spring. We will be athletic and compete well if we adapt to a new system,” said Freeman, a national champion shot putter at Angelo State who also was an all-American defensive end and played in the NFL for the Los Angeles Raiders before his playing career was ended by injury. The speedy Lions will run a multiple-set offense and 4-2-5 defense, which Freeman emphasizes. The coach spent 12 seasons as defensive coordinator in Snyder, and his teams at Bruni recorded seven shutouts and last season fielded the top 2A defense in the state.

Freeman, who is a member of the Snyder High School Hall of Honor as well as the Lone Star Conference Hall of Honor, is still getting a feel for his roster, but it’s a good bet players such as Thomas Fay, Kobe Rodriguez and Jadon Perez will play leading roles. “We should have a competitive district with many teams who could win it,” said Freeman, who believes Anthony and Eldorado are the teams to beat.

Anson Tigers — District 4-2A D-I
Tigers
on the
So often successful football seasons are all about getting hot at the right time. That’s what happened for Anson in 2016 as the Tigers won only two of their first five games but finished the regular-season with a .500 record and managed to win a couple of playoff games over Christoval and Panhandle before losing in the regional semifinals to eventual state champion Canadian. “Our team came together and gelled at the right time. They played very hard,” coach Chris Hagler said of the 2015 Tigers, who finished 7-6. Seven players – among them Dustin Moore, Michael Stevens, Jack Cedillo, Pablo Garza, Chris St. John and Israel Aguirre – have moved on, but Anson still has a good shot at avoiding early-season growing pains in 2016 as 16 players return from last year, including five starters on offense and six on defense. “Our team will be much more experienced on offense with a good amount of talent returning,” said Hagler, who is 11-12 in his two seasons with the Tigers. “The program is gaining consistency in winning and performing at a high level.” Thirteen seniors are listed on Anson’s roster, including receiver/safety Trell Thomson (5-9, 140, 4.7) and quarterback Cade Baker (6-3, 170, 4.7). Thomson caught 43 passes for 623 yards and 5 touchdowns in the Tigers’ spread/multiple offense last season, while Baker completed 193-of-338 passes for 2,360 yards with 22 touchdowns and 23 interceptions (18 INTs in first 5 games). Baker, who also punts, rushed for 751 yards and 11 TDs on 127 carries. In the team’s 3-3 stack defense, Thomson was in on 69 tackles and had 7 picks. A third all-state candidate is found in junior linebacker Chris Jones (5-11, 165, 4.5), who had 111 tackles (16 TFL) with 9 sacks, 5 fumble recoveries and an interception. The team’s top returning tackler is senior linebacker Ethan Baccus (5-9, 170) who racked up 119 stops (16 TFL), 6 fumble recoveries and a pick in 2016. As a receiver Baccus caught 42 balls for 443 yards and 1 TD. Joining Thomson in the secondary will be senior Joseph Montgomery (5-9, 170) who had 79 tackles (3 TFL) a year ago. Junior Nick Tanner (6-0, 165) returns after running for 595 yards and 3 TDs on 111 carries. Clearing the way up front will be junior David Galvan (5-11, 245) who was injured the last half of last season, senior Steven Martinez (6-1, 235) and sophomore Khristian Villegas (6-1, 235). Hagler called Villegas and Martinez “strong and talented.” They’ll be joined by junior Brandon Padilla (5-7, 255). Others the Tigers will be leaning on are juniors Jason Soliz (5-8, 165, 4.9) at receiver/defensive back and Ed Marin (5-7, 175) at running back/linebacker. Anson opens the season with road games at Hamlin and Haskell before playing three in a row at home against Jim Ned, Albany and Roscoe for homecoming. Two more road games follow at Windthorst and, for the district opener, Stamford. Then it’s home against Halwey, at Forsan, a bye, and home against Post in a game that could determine the

Including their 8-3 record last year (4-0 District 3-2A, Division I), the Buffaloes have had a winning record in five of the last six seasons, but have been unable to get past the bi-district round of the postseason. A year ago, after plowing through 3-2A, D-I – they won all four games by an average margin of 32.5 points – Forsan was eliminated by Windthorst 34-12 in the first round of the playoffs in Cisco. The Buffs have been in position to take that next step for a few years and have not been able to get it done. But this season, if their offensive line and quarterback develop how they think they will, head coach Jason Phillips and company believes they will be better in 2016 than they were last year. Forsan lines up in the spread offensively, but last season, they utilized their high-impact backfield and pounded out 3,688 yards on the ground. Leading the Buffs’ vicious running game was Tearell McVae (6,175). Then a junior, McVae racked up 886 rushing yards on 98 attempts with 12 touchdowns, and he also tallied 7 receptions for 136 yards and 2 receiving TDs to earn second-team all-league honors. Senior Blaze Yeater (5-10,160) and junior Garrett Evans (6,155) are Forsan’s two top returning wide receivers, both of whom were first-team all-district selections a season ago. Yeater caught 16 passes for 308 yards and 6 touchdowns, and Evans hauled in 16 passes of his own for 168 yards and 1 TD. Phillips said there will be some inexperience in a few spots on the offensive line, but Forsan does have an anchor returning in junior Brycson Pineda (6-1, 275), who was a 3-2A first-teamer in 2015. On defense, the Buffs will be led in their 3-4 alignment by junior defensive end Ehren Hillger (6-1, 175), senior linebacker Lane Schafer (6-0,205) and senior defensive lineman Tyler Westbrook (6-2,270), each of whom garnered all-district honors a year ago. Hillger was a first-teamer after registering 5.5 sacks, 5 tackles for a loss and 1 interception; Schafer, a second-teamer, recorded 63 tackles, 2 sacks and 1 interception; and Westbrook collected 31 tackles and 1.5 sacks to be named to the second all-league team, as well. Junior Bryce Hergert (5-11,160), who received postseason recognition as a second-team all 3-2A

Hawley Bearcats — District 4-2A D-I
On The Prowl For Another District Title Hawley comes into the 2016 season wearing a district crown for the first time in school history. In fact, that league title marks the high point—so far—for the Bearcats’ program that has put together three straight playoff campaigns. For the last two seasons, Head Coach Mitch Ables has been the man calling the shots for Hawley. Though he’s certainly enjoyed watching the ‘Cats succeed, he said they won’t have much time to rest on their laurels once the first regular season whistle blows. “A tough non-district schedule will test us before tough district play,” Ables said. “District 4-2A is an extremely tough and competitive league, so every week will be a war.” Last season Hawley finished 10-2 overall and 5-0 in league play. Their post-season included a dominating bi-district win against Anthony and a humbling loss to eventual state quarterfinalist Stratford. The Bearcats’ 2016 squad will feature 6 players who started on offense last season and 7 who were defensive first stringers. Ables said they will have to replace some key losses at the skill positions, but the holdovers should benefit from having another year of experience in the program. Hawley should also benefit from the return of two of the area’s top 2015 performers in senior defensive lineman Jesse Stiles and junior skill specialist Quay Stokes. Stiles racked up 77 tackles, including 29 stops behind the line and 15.5 sacks, numbers that earned him the league’s defensive most valuable player award. Stokes proved to be a double handful for opposing defenses during his sophomore season and earned all-district second team honors. As a passer he completed 139 of 244 tosses for 2,091 yards and 32 touchdowns. On the ground he logged 796 yards and 5 TDs on 131 carries. To replace some of their lost experience at the skill positions, the Bearcats can turn to senior wide receivers Saxon Jones and Cade Frazier. In his junior season, Jones reeled in 23 passes for 396 yards and 7 scores to land an all-district second team spot on offense. He was also named to the all-league second team defense in the secondary. Frazier’s contributions in 2015 included 6 catches for 65 yards on offense and 19 tackles and 2 interceptions on defense. In addition to Stiles, Hawley has three more experienced linemen in senior Edward Ornales and juniors Damion Leon and Kole Smith. Ornales recorded 11 tackles and 2 stops for loss on the defensive front. Leon and Smith were both named to the all-district second team on offense. The Bearcats’ defense also should be solid at linebacker with the return of senior all-district second teamer Zach Burt (67 tackles, 6 for loss, 1 interception) and junior Michael DeLaGarza (27 tackles, 2 fumble recoveries). DeLaGarza (13 carries, 82 yards, 1 TD) also has an opportunity to pitch in as a running back. Senior defensive back Shane Guerra, an all-district first team selection, posted 43 tackles last season and should be a leader in the secondary for Hawley in 2016.

Hope and expectation rise with every win a team accumulates and last season the Antelopes did nothing but win. Post ran eleven straight victories off to begin the season. The most wins in thirty years, but not even that team in 1985 ran off eleven straight. Consecutive shutouts over Abernathy (25-0) and Tahoka (42-0) began the run. Denver City (28-7), Floydada (26-7), and Slaton (49-19) managed to score but still Post claimed victory. In domination fashion the Antelopes swept all five district opponents Coleman (21-0), Ballinger (28-0), Coahoma (53-0), Colorado City (50-0), and Stanton (57-0) without giving up a single point. District Crown in hand Post took home a Bi-District playoff win over Crane (51-12). The undefeated Post Antelopes faced off against a one loss Henrietta Bearcats game for the Area round and in a hard fought tight battle the Antelopes perfect season came to an end (7-14). Head Looking back at the season, Coach Michael Pittman said, “Great year that ended sooner than we hoped. We played some really good football for most of the year.” Coach Pittman has led the Post to a (19-5) overall record the last two season and with a solid foundation back the Antelopes figure to be very good again.

graduated eleven lettermen but return thirteen, including four starters on offense and five defensively. “The kids are excited and are working hard to build off of last year’s team,” said Coach Pittman. “We have a good group of players coming back along with some moving up from JV, but we graduated our entire secondary so replacing that group will be one of the keys as well as finding a kicker and punter to take over for Aron Lopez who graduated.” The Antelopes have a pair of All-State caliber running back in AJ Reed (5-9, 170, 4.6, Sr.) and Michael Pherguson (5-11, 185, 4.6, Jr.). Dual threat, AJ Escobedo is back at quarterback and up front Post will rely on Valente Perez, Russ Morris, Jonathan Hernandez, Ben Ayala, Pacey Blevins, and Kobe Ammons to control the line of scrimmage.

Post uses a 3-4 set on defense under coordinator Beau Riker. Reed and Brody Kelso anchor the defensive line. Behind them Ammons and Brandon Brittain provide experience at linebacker. Chance Courtney and Austin Brittian prove Post with another pair of key players with valuable experience. Promising newcomers to varsity include Fidel Trinidad, Aaron Gomez, Damian Garcia, Hunter Graves, Aric Garza, Dealan Reed, Pete Lazcano, and Landon Greer. Redistricting has dropped Post down a classification but when asked about the 2016 schedule Coach Pittman wasn’t convinced life would be any easier. “We dropped in classification,” Pittman elaborated, “but into what looks to be a tough new district. Every team in the new district was in the playoffs last year.”

Stamford Bulldogs — District 4-2A D-I
Bulldogs Powerhouse District
The talk going into the 2016 football season for Stamford will center on the talented new district they will call home. The Bulldogs remain in District 4-2A, Division I after UIL realignment in February, but their new league foes consist of Anson, Forsan, Hawley and Post. In his two years as head coach at Stamford, Ronnie Casey possesses a record of (19-5). In both seasons, the Bulldogs have reached the area round of the postseason. Regarding 4-2A, D-I, Casey said the district may be the best in the state. “The coaching staffs of this district are great coaches,” Casey said. “Post went (11-2) last season, as well as Forsan. Hawley went (10-2), and we did, as well. The Anson Tigers were a hot team at the end of the season with a lot coming back – they were (7-6). “The fans will never be bored watching this district.” Stamford lost 12 lettermen to graduation from last year’s 10-2 squad. It will return 16, including three starters on both offense and defense. “We will have a young football team with a new QB, running back and receivers,” Casey said. “The strong point of this team will be the offensive line and the speed of the skill players. We return three offensive-line starters. We have some great skill players that we hope can mature in a hurry. The new district is going to be tough, and I expect our players to step up to that challenge.” Senior Guy London (5-10, 185) is one of the Bulldogs’ standout offensive linemen. At left guard, Casey said London has good feet, is quick and smart. Two other offensive linemen to watch are junior center Joseph Hernandez (5-6, 195) and senior left tackle Jordan Cook (6, 185). London also will man one of the linebacker spots in the Royal Blue and White’s 3-5-3 defensive scheme. Last year, he recorded 81 tackles – 5 for a loss – with 1 sack, 3 fumbles and 1 interception. Junior Lonnie Applin (6, 165) is also a standout linebacker, where he racked up 97 tackles a season ago, 8 of which went for a loss. Casey said Applin is one of the team’s best open-field tacklers. Junior defensive tackle H.D. Lewis (6-2, 305) is a big, strong kid who should be able to eat up space in the trenches, and junior Aggassi Alvarado (5-6, 130) is another linebacker to keep tabs on. Three players to watch offensively are senior quarterback Wesley Gonzales (5-9, 160), junior running back Steven Johnson (5-10, 175) and sophomore tailback R.J. Smith (5-10, 150). Some promising underclassmen who could make an immediate impact are junior quarterback Noah Horn (6, 180), junior linebacker Jared Muehlstein (5-10, 180), junior defensive tackle Caden Mathis (6-2, 210) and sophomore outside linebacker Carson Holt (5-8, 160). Stamford is scheduled to begin the 2016 season on the road at Holliday on Aug. 25 at 7:30 p.m. Its first league tilt will be at home against Anson on Oct. 9 at 7:30 p.m., and the Bulldogs will round out their regular-season slate on the road against Forsan on Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

Brackett Tigers — District 14-2A D-1
Tigers Looking For Quality It’s all about quality, not quantity. Over the last two years, that is what Brackettville Brackett head coach Tyrell McCrea has had to preach to his Tigers. Smaller teams have won big before, and McCrea has plenty of examples throughout the history of Texas high school football to point to. Brackett went just 1-9 overall and 1-5 in District 14-2A, Division I play last year, but McCrea expects 2016 to be much stronger. While they will not have an advantage in numbers, the Tigers will have plenty of experience – 21 lettermen are returning – and they hope their quality in talent shines. “Last season’s team was very green,” McCrea said. “The loss of 18 seniors returned a team with not a lot of experience on the varsity level. Playing with 4 seniors made it hard to find our way offensively and defensively. “We led or were tied in six of the ten games at halftime, but with a roster of 30, teams took advantage and wore us down. Last season was definitely a learning experience, but we grew and learned how to deal with adversity.” Most players will have to play multiple positions on both sides of the ball once again this year, and Brackett will be lead overall by junior Moses Hernandez. Hernandez is the Tigers’ top returning athlete and possesses a high football IQ, according to McCrea. Senior Justin Gallegos appears to possess a lot of the same tools that Hernandez brings to the table. Gallegos will be featured in multiple positions on both sides of the ball, and McCrea said he is Brackett’s fastest returner. On the offensive line, McCrea said senior Hector Cruz is the Tigers’ best interior lineman, and he added that fellow senior Patrick Ortiz is a very athletic and versatile big man. Cruz will also flip over to the defensive side of the ball along the line, and Ortiz will play linebacker, as well. Brackett’s offense will have multiple spread looks, and McCrea believes he has a solid blocking tight end in junior Tanner Lindhorst. Lindhorst will also man the defensive line for the Tigers, where he is a good pass rusher, according to his head coach. Other key returners are senior running back/defensive back Angel Jaso, junior running back/defensive back Tony Martinez, senior wide receiver/defensive lineman Jesus Rodriguez, sophomore running back/linebacker Camyron Gaulke, sophomore offensive and defensive lineman Ricardo Rivas and senior wide receiver/defensive back Kevynn Blevins.

With one year under its belt in his system, McCrea believes Brackett will have a better knowledge of the game, but the Tigers will enter the season with a question mark at quarterback. “This season will be interesting to say the least,” McCrea said. “With no solid quarterback coming back, the offense may hit a few bumps early. The constant rotation at the position last season leaves it open and up for competition this season.” Brackett is scheduled to begin league play on Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. against Junction at home, and its final regular season game will be at Harper on Oct. 28 at 7:30 p.m.

Harper Longhorns — District 14-2A D-I
Longhorns Stomp Competition In his first year as a head football coach, Dusty Gibbs helped Harper reach the playoffs for the first time in five years. The Longhorns’ 3-8 overall mark included a 3-3 district finish and a 36-22 bi-district loss to Holland. “Last season’s team did a wonderful job under a new system,” Gibbs said. “They improved every week, which allowed us to reach the playoffs.” In his second year as the Longhorns’ trail boss, Gibbs expects to have seven starters back on both sides of the ball. He said the team’s spread offense will be a bit green at the skill positions, but the offensive and defensive lines could be among the best in District 14-2A. “We’re looking forward to the upcoming season after going through a good off-season,” Gibbs said. “We will be looking for our experience on the offensive and defensive lines to carry us because of our inexperience at the skill positions.” UIL realignment also altered the composition of the league, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing for Harper. “Our distict changed from a 7- to a 5-team district but we’ll still play many of the same teams,” Gibbs added. “We look forward to challenging for a playoff spot.” If the offensive and defensive lines prove to be Harper’s leading units, it will likely be due to the play of senior Ben Lashley and junior John Stewart. Lashley, described by Gibbs as a hard working and physical player, was named to the all-district first team offense last season. He also garnered all-district second team defensive honors at linebacker with 51 tackles and 1 sack. Stewart earned all-league honorable mention on the offensive line and recorded 31 tackles, 2 sacks and 1 fumble recovery along the defensive front. Gibbs also expects big contributions from lineman Joe Boy, an athletic 6-6 senior who runs a 4.9 40-yard dash. Other players who should play important roles for the 2016 Longhorns include senior tight end/wide receiver Josh Sagraves, senior defensive back/wide receiver Tracy Patterson and junior linebacker Brett Dunning. Gibbs said Sagraves is a player who understands the game and has great hands. Last year he used those attributes to reel in 45 receptions and pick up 871 yards, 8 touchdowns and a spot on the alldistrict first team. Patterson, the Longhorn’s top returning defensive back who also pitched in at wide receiver, took home all-district honorable mention last year on both sides of the ball. His defensive stats included 19 tackles, 2 tackles for loss and 3 interceptions.

Claude Mustangs — District 1-2A D-II
New Coach Likes Mustang’s Toughness When Claude takes the field for the first time in 2016, it will mark the beginning of a new football coaching pedigree in the Texas Panhandle. Jarrett Vickers, who previously served as the ogffensive coordinator at Llano, will be blowing the whistle for the Mustangs in his first head coaching job. Vickers is taking over for Duane Toliver, who moved to head coach’s office at Tulia. Vickers’ primary task is to get Claude back into playoff contention. Last season the Mustangs finshed 2-8 overall and 0-5 in district play to miss out on the post-season for the second consecutive year. Although this was a UIL realignment year, Claude will face the same district opponents in Booker, Gruver, Shamrock and Wheeler. The only change saw Sunray move out and Vega move in. To help him end the dry spell, Vickers will count on 6 returning starters on offense and 5 more on defense. He plans to install a tow-back multiple formation offensive attack and a 4-2-5 look on defense. Vikers said the Mustangs will be young and don’t have a lot of big game experience, but he likes their size and toughness, especially on the line of scrimmage. Much of that toughness up front is represented by a trio of returning starters that includes seniors Austin Byrd and Ethan Belfield and junior Kaden Scoggins. Byrd was one of the league’s top blockers in 2015

and earned a spot on the all-district second team offense. Belfield garnered all-league honorable mention on the offensive line and is the Mustangs’ top returning tackler on defense. Vickers also expects to get help in the trenches from sophomore newcomer Alex Viduarri. When it comes to the skill positions, Claude’s cupboard isn’t exactly empty. In the backfield, senior running back Kenan Staine is the top returning ballcarrier. Last season Staine garnered an all-district second team spot. He also handled the Mustangs’ placekicking chores last season and will likely do so again in 2016. Claude should also benefit from the return of three seniors who have plenty of experience in at wide receiver and defensive back. The group includes Ty Ivy, Tucker Ivy and Zach Owens. Ty Ivy earned all-district honorable mention as a pass catcher and lead’s the defensive returnees in interceptions. Vickers said athletic sophomore Rees Byrd could provide some answers for the offense at either quarterback or tight end. Other sophomores who could step up for Claude in 2016 include WR/DB Mason Smith and lineman Tristan Sims.

Gruver Greyhounds— District 1-2A D-II
Health Key
for
Greyhounds
Despite their sixth straight playoff campaigns, Gruver comes into 2016 hoping for a better finish to their season. In 2015, the Greyhounds appeared to be marching toward a potential district title with a (3-0) league mark when the injury bug took out several of the team’s key two-way starters. Three weeks later, head coach Terry Felderhoff took his team home with a (5-6) overall record, a (3-2) district ledger and a bi-district loss to Vega. The 2016 season will be Felderhoff’s 11th at Gruver and he expects to have 8 starters back on offense and 7 returning on defense. “We’re looking forward to building on last year and the success we had when things were clicking well,” Felderhoff said. “We need a few players to step up and fill some very key holes left by last year’s seniors and we must also have some players step up, become leaders and lead by example.” To get a seventh consecutive post-season spot, Gruver will face some familiar district battles as

UIL realignment left the league mostly untouched with the return of Booker, Claude, Shamrock and Wheeler. Vega is the lone newcomer and will replace Sunray. “The district will remain very competative, and we must be ready to play every Friday night,” Felderhoff said. “Wheeler is the early favorite.” Among their returnees, Gruver has three potential leaders in junior Ulysses Garcia and seniors Meny Terrazas and Lalo Barrera. Garcia picked up an all-district first team spot at linebacker last season with 75 tackles, 3 sacks, 4 fumble recoveries and 1 interception. On offense

Vega Longhorns — District 1-2A D-II
Longhorns Stampede New District
After putting together one of the most successful football seasons in school history, Vega faces a new slate of district opponents in 2016. Last season the Longhorns finished 11-1 overall and claimed the District 1-2A crown with a 4-0 mark. Their sixth straight post-season trip included a bi-district win over Gruver and an area round loss to Crosbyton. “We had a great year, but came up short of our goal,” head coach Jason Porton said. “We lost a great group of seniors, but we are gaining a great group this year.” Porton expects to have 18 lettermen back in 2016, including 5 starters on each side of the ball. While the ‘Horns’ starting line-up may need to develop more overall experience, Porton said there is plenty of solid leadership coming back. “Most of these guys gained valuable experience last year, whether in a starting or reserve role, and they performed well when their number was called,” Porton stressed. “We’re looking forward to a great bunch of seniors, and are excited about this year. We have several guys back that contributed in a big way last season and our expectations for those guys are high. We’ve had a great offseason and our guys are hungry.” Vega’s move to District 1-2A via UIL realignment means new league battles against Booker, Claude and 2015 playoff participants Gruver, Shamrock and Wheeler. “Overall, it’s a very tough district,” Porton said. “There are definitely no off weeks, and we’ll have to bring our A-game

every week.” On offense, the Longhorns’ I-formation attack will be led by seniors Chase Lookingbill and Tyler Long. Lookingbill latched onto 23 passes last season for 250 yards, 3 touchdowns and an all-district second team nod. He was also a leader in Vega’s 4-3 defensive set with 42 tackles, 3 interceptions and an all-league first team spot in the secondary. Long (5-11, 205) is expected to assume the starting quarterback duties after completing 6 of 10 passes for 150 yards as a back-up in 2015. On defensive he earned all-district first team honors at linebacker 95 tackles, 4 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries and an interception. Junior running back Colbi Luster chipped in 550 yards and 5 TDs on 75 totes as a sophomore and is the ‘Horns’ top returning ball carrier.

and junior tackle Payden Mason (6-4, 220) is back after missing most of 2015. Brown is also expected to team with senior Justin Hayes to anchor the defensive front. Last year Brown received all-district first team recognition by racking up 58 tackles, 4 sacks and a pair of fumble recoveries. Hayes pitched in with 55 tackles, 6 sacks and a fumble recovery to claim on the all-league second team seat. Porton said other players to watch for Vega in 2016 include senior wide receiver/defensive back Jarrett Glasscock and promising junior newcomer Austin Newkirk (RB/DB). Glasscock was an all-district first teamer on special teams last season. The Longhorns’ 2016 trail drive begins Aug. 26 at Springlake-Earth. After battling bitter Oldham County rival Boys Ranch at home on Sept. 02, they return to the road for games at Highland Park Sept. 09 and Sanford-Fritch Sept. 16. The ‘Horns close down non-district play Sept. 23 by hosting Sunray. Vega begins seeking its second straight district title Oct. 7 when Booker comes to town. Their remaining league schedule includes road trips to Gruver on Oct. 14 and Claude on Oct. 28 and home skirmishes with Wheeler Oct. 21 and Shamrock Nov. 04.

Wheeler Mustangs — District 1-2A D-II
Mustangs to Stampede Through Competition Wheeler used the early part of 2015 to find their stride, but despite a tough schedule and a slow start the Mustangs took off running come the all-important district slate of games. With eighteen lettermen back and seven starters on both sides of the ball Head Coach Aaron Witten and the Mustang faithful will be looking for big things from Wheeler in 2016. Last season began with a low-scoring, (0-8) loss to Sundown. The mustangs fell to a tough Spearman squad (1435) in week two. A trio of losses to West Texas High (12-27), Highland Park (26-65), and Wellington (6-50) left Wheeler 0-5 headed into district. The Mustangs found their legs in a tight one point win (22-21) win over Shamrock. Following another win over Claude (46-12) the Mustangs suffered their only district blemish against Sunray (21-28 before getting back in track with a victory over Gruver (45-6). Wheeler closed out the regular season with a win (44-35) over Booker. The Mustangs carried that momentum into the postseason with a big (31-27) Bi-District win over Springlake-Earth. The roll ended with a tough (2-41) loss to Seagraves in the Area round. Coach Witten heads up Wheeler’s Spread Option offense which welcomes back the dual threat Holden Guest (5-9 165 Sr. QB) who completed a 100 passes for 1337 yards and 12 TDs last season in addition to picking up 1074 on the ground with

Traylen Drake (6-2 180 Sr. WR/DB) was a 1st Team All-District selection at both positions is both a rushing and receiving threat for the Mustangs. Ivan Lopez (6-2 200 Sr. WR/ OLB) is yet another offensive weapon at Wheeler’s disposal. Up front on the line Rowdy Henson (6-0 210 Sr. OL/DL) a 2nd All-District player, Rene Gutierrez (5-9 230 Sr. OL/DL) who coaches cite as “Strongest guy on the team,” and newcomer, Jordan Venzor (6-0 200 Sr. OL/DL) figure to form a strong unit.

Clarendon Broncos — District 2-2A D-II
Close Calls in ‘15 Could Help Broncos in ‘16
After a 2015 season filled with narrow misses and what-ifs, Clarendon is ready for a fresh start. Last year the Broncos finsihed with a respectable 5-5 overall mark, but their 2-3 district finish was a lesson in heartbreak as two of their league losses were by 3 points or less: 18-15 to Lockney and 14-13 to Quanah. A win in either one would have earned a playoff birth, and winning both would have earned a second place post-season seed. “We had a very competitive team in a very competitve district,” head coach Gary Jack said. “District champ Quanah went three rounds in the playoffs and we lost to them by one point. Memphis, the 3 seed, went 4 rounds and we beat them by 1 point. And we lost to Lockney, the 4 seed, by 3 points. We were very close to being very good.” As he looks ahead to the 2016 campaign, Jack expects his stable of Broncos to include 7 returning first stringers on offense and 8 more on defense. Despite the overall experience, Jack said finding someone to orchestrate his split-back veer will be key. “If we can have consistent play at quarterback, we have a chance to be pretty good,” Jack explained.

“We return a very good nucleus of experienced players. Some of our seniors have been playing and starting since they were sophomores and a lot of them played some as freshman at the end of that season and the playoff game. I like our chances to make the playoffs and we should be very competitive every Friday night.” Though this was a UIL realignment year, Clarendon’s district foes will remain basically the same. The lone exception has Wellington replacing Quanah. “This will be a very tough district week in and week out,” Jack stressed. “Somebody in our district has played in the regional final the last two years and I feel like that will happen again. It should be fun to watch how this league shapes up this fall.” For senior leadership at the skill positions, the

Broncos can look to a trio of upperclassmen that includes Keandre Cortez, Clay Koetting and Bryce Grahn. Cortez was an all-district first team running back in 2015 with 725 yards and 10 touchdowns on 119 carries. On defense his 21 tackles and 4 interceptions were good enough for an all-league second team birth at safety. Koetting was a defensive leader for Clarendon last season, earning all-district first team recognition at inside linebacker with 90 tackles, 3 sacks and an interception. He also hit 14 of 18 extra points as the all-district first team kicker. Grahn was named to the all-distrct second team at wide receiver (10 catches, 128 yards) and defensive back (28 tackles, 2 interceptions).

Senior running back and all-league first team utility player Clint Franks (33 carries, 215 yards, 2 TDs) and junior receiver Andy Davis (4 catches, 85 yards) are expected to provide additional options on offense. The offensive line could be one of the league’s best with the return of senior Taylon Knorpp (6-0, 225), the all-district second team center, classmate and all-league second team tackle Seth Greer (6-3, 275) and junior Justin Christopher (5-9, 225). Knorpp (55 tackles, 7 for loss, 4 sacks) was also named an all-district first teamer at defensive tackle and Christopher earned an all-district second team nod at the same position.

Crosbyton Chiefs — District 2-2A D-II
Crosbyton Rebuilding On Heels Of 11-Win Campaign After producing an 11-2 season and making a run to the regional round of the state playoffs last season, the Crosbyton Chiefs are anxious to get back on the gridiron in 2016. But they’ll do it with a mostly new roster after 16 players graduated off last year’s squad, leaving just nine veterans including only two starters on each side of the line of scrimmage. “We had a great run last season. Although we lost to Memphis (34-18) in the playoffs, it was a very rewarding playoff run with quality wins over Sundown (21-6) and Vega (26-14). I am very proud of what we accomplished,” said coach Brannon Rodgers, now in his 10th season as the chief Chief. Guys like quarterback Tanner Clark, fullback/ linebacker Elliott Rios, linemen Noah Rubalcado and Matthew Johnson, and receiver/defensive back Tyriece Mooring will be missed, but in most cases Rodgers is confident their replacements are ready to step up. “We are looking forward to rebuilding our team with some young players that had some invaluable experience last year. The players are eager to prove that they belong on the field in a varsity football game in the toughest district in the region,” said Rodgers, who is 66-45 at Crosbyton. Charged with the task of anchoring the rebuilt offense will be junior running back Tim Childers and senior lineman Brandon Flores. Childers (5-8, 170, 4.6) rushed for 1,447 yards and 17 touchdowns on 148 carries

while catching 3 touchdown passes as a sophomore in Crosbyton’s Wing-T offense, while Flores (6-2, 300, 5.1) has anchored the offensive line for the past two years “with great leadership,” according to Rodgers. Childers also is the top tackler back on defense with 59 stops (7 TFLs), 8 sacks, 2 interceptions and 2 fumbles in 2015. Also providing experience in the Chiefs’ split defense will be junior tackle JJ Vasquez (5-10, 195, 5.0) and senior linebacker Ethan Sanchez (5-11, 215). Last season Vasquez recorded 31 tackles (5 TFLs) and 2 sacks while on offense is an “athletic pulling guard. He has a great motor and plays with a lot of passion,” Rodgers noted. Sanchez (5-11, 215) ended 2015 with 40 tackles (4 TFLs), 4 sacks and 3 fumble recoveries, while on offense ran for 227 yards and 3 TDs.

Crosbyton kicks off its season at home Aug. 26 against Tahoka before going to Farwell, hosting Sudan, playing at Springlake-Earth, then hosting Smyer. After an open week, district begins with back-to-back road games against Ralls and Crosbyton. Then it’s home against Memphis, at Wellington then home to take on Lockney in the regular-season finale. “The district is talented from top to bottom,” Rodgers said. “There is a rich tradition at each school and expectations are high in each community.”

El Paso Cathedral Fighting Irish — Independent
Fighting Irish Loaded With Returning Talent In the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS), El Paso Cathedral is always in a bit of a tough spot, as it doesn’t have a true home stadium. The Fighting Irish also do not have a district to call home, either, as they are considered a lone independent team. “We are road warriors,” head coach Hampton Hurt said. “Every game is on the road. Even our home games are in rented stadiums. “Since we are an independent team, once district games begin, it is very hard to fill weeks seven through ten.” Cathedral was able to get nine games scheduled for the 2016 season. Although they only finished 4-5 last year, the Irish are returning 26 lettermen, and they boast the ability to cause many headaches for their opposition. Eight starters are returning on offense and seven are coming back on defense, and Cathedral will be lead offensively by quarterback Chris Lightbourn. In their spread offensive scheme a year ago, Lightbourn completed 64 of 160 passes for 1,195 yards and 15 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. The two top pass catchers returning are Miguel Lopez and senior tight end Chris Frazier (6-3, 243) – Frazier only played in three games last season. Lopez had 14 receptions for 367 yards and 5 touchdowns, and Frazier caught 6 balls for 97 yards and 2 scores. At running back, Santi Mandujano is the team’s top returner. He rushed 56 times for 309 yards and three touchdowns a year ago. Adam Acosta will also get some touches out of the backfield. He tallied 74 yards on the ground on 21 attempts with four touchdowns in 2015. The Irish appear to be stacked on the offensive line, where senior Jaime Perales (6-4, 274), Dallas Spencer (5-10, 236), Gio Quiroz (5-11, 242), and juniors Michael Brockhaus (6-5, 242), Patrick Tovar (5-11, 253) and Zander Karr (6-3, 218) are a beefy front that can provide plenty of time for Lightbourn to deliver passes and blow open running lanes for the ground attack. In Cathedral’s split defensive scheme, Frazier will also look to be a force in the trenches. In his three games, Frazier registered 17 tackles – 6 for a loss – 3 sacks and 1 fumble. Perales will also put his hand on the ground on defense, where he collected 33 tackles, 3 of which went for a loss, and 3 sacks last year.

In the defensive secondary, Miguel Lopez and Alec Chacon are two players to keep an eye on. Lopez registered 52 tackles and 5 interceptions in 2015, and Chacon tallied 36 tackles and 2 fumbles. Cathedral’s season opener will be on Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. at Anthony, and their final game is scheduled for Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. at Clint.

Lockney Longhorns — District 2-2A D-II
Lockney Found The Key, Now Ready To Turn The Dial
Lockney turned a corner on 2015. Head Coach Jay Ragland has laid a solid foundation for the Longhorns in his three years atop the program. “Finally getting over the hump and getting into the playoffs for the first time in ten years was a big deal for this team,” Coach Ragland said. “The seniors set the goal to finally break the drought and help get us in.” Despite a narrow opening week loss to Lubbock Christian (32-41), Lockney turned the tables and went on a solid run to begin the 2015 season. The Longhorns didn’t need a four leaf clover to take down Shamrock (28-22). The winning winds kept blowing as Lockney took down Floydada (13-7). Lockney salted away a third straight victory over Morton (31-6) before dropping the final non district game against Vega (8-28). With an (18-15) win over Clarendon in the district opener, The Longhorns set themselves up to be in the playoff picture. After falling to Memphis (24-46), Lockney bounced back with an impressive (30-0) shutout victory Ralls. Losses to Quanah (7-32) and Crosbyton (20-55) ended the regular season but the pair of district wins were enough to end a ten year streak of no playoff appearances. Lockney fell to Seagraves (22-56) in their long anticipated Bi-District

return, but in making that trip the program proved it is heading the right direction. A total of fifteen lettermen will return for the Longhorns in 2016 including six starters on both sides of the ball. Coach Ragland heads up the Spread Style offense while defensive coordinator deploys a 4-2-5 base set. Lockney appears strong at the skill positions but will need some new players to step up on both the offensive and defensive lines. Looking ahead at 2016 Coach Ragland said, “There are some holes to fill, but many of the underclassmen played big roles in last years team. They understand what it is going to take and are prepared to get us back into the playoffs again.” Trevor Ascencio is a versatile player back for the

Memphis Cyclones — District 2-2A D-II
Cyclones For Another Playoff Run in 2016?
After a brief hiatus, Memphis has returned to the playoff the last two seasons. Last year the Cyclones finished with a 7-7 overall mark and a 3-2 district record. Their rollercoaster regular season included a three-game losing streak to open the season and a three-game winning streak to open league play. In the post-season they put together a second three-game positive surge with wins against Smyer, Sunray and Crosbyton before their effort ended with a loss to Seagraves in the state quarterfinals. “Last season’s team began poorly but improved over the course of the season,” Memphis head coach Brad Woods said. “Eventually, the team hit it’s stride once the playoffs began.” In 2016, Woods will welcome back 8 starting Cyclones on offense and 9 more on defense. Thanks to last year’s playoff run, he said the team is just as confident as it is experienced. Woods also expects the district to remain as competitive as it was the last two seasons with the loss of regional qualifier Quanah and the addition of the always-tough Wellington Skyrockets, who advanced to the area round in 2015. “If our team has a good summer and reports in shape then they will have a chance to do something special,” Woods said. “Wellington’s tradition means they are always a threat and Crosbyton remains a formidable opponent. The other teams are capable of beating you if you aren’t ready to play.”

When Memphis has the ball, opposing defenses can expect a heavy dose of workhorse running back David Dickson. Last season the senior-to-be carried the ball 241 times for 2,299 yards and 25 touchdowns. He ended the year with an all-district first team spot and was named an all-state second teamer by the Texas Sportswriter’s Association. Opponents will also have to deal with a Cyclones’ aerial threat that features senior quarterback Nick Adame throwing to junior Clifford Byrd. Last season Adame completed 51 of 97 passes for 740 yards and 14 TDs en route to an alldistrict second team birth. He was also named to

Ralls Jackrabbits — District 2-2A D-II
Jackrabbits Looking For Victory The 2015 season was painful for the Ralls Jackrabbits…in more ways than one. Not only did the Rabbits fail to win a game, they suffered a lot of injuries along the way. “We faced a TON of adversity midseason with injuries,” first-year coach Jeff Caffey said of Ralls’ (0-10) campaign. About the only bright spot is that the injuries forced some young players to grow up in a hurry, something Caffey hopes pays dividends in 2016. “A lot of young players received a lot of game experience,” he said. Most of last year’s roster – 22 players – return, including seven offensive and eight defensive starters. “We have a great group of kids coming back,” Caffey, a product of Sul Ross State University, said. “I look forward to the upcoming year.” Three seniors – Zayne Martinez, David Reyes and Joseph Contreras, all linebackers – will be heavily counted on in 2016. Martinez (6-3, 180, 4.8) is a receiver and outside linebacker, Reyes (5-10, 210, 4.7) lines up at guard and outside backer, and Contreras (5-9, 170, 4.5) is a running back and linebacker. Another key piece of the puzzle for Ralls, according to Caffey, will be Matt Lopez.

The Jackrabbits will need those and many others to step up and perform for Ralls to get back in the state playoff picture, something Caffey thinks can happen if his seniors perform as expected and they get some help from underclassmen. It won’t be easy as Ralls competes in one of the toughest leagues around. “It’s the best district in Region I,” Caffey said. “I’m glad to be a part of it.” Ralls kicks off the season Aug 26 by hosting Sudan before traveling to Olton ad Smyer. The Jackrabbits then host Morton and go to Claude prior to starting their district slate at home against Crosbyton. After that it’s at Wellington, home against Clarendon, at Lockney, then at home against Memphis .Caffey feels Memphis, Wellington and Clarendon are the class of the conference.

Wellington Skyrockets — District 2-2A D-II
Young Skyrockets Face New District Challenge In recent years, Wellington football fans have certainly become familiar with the UIL’s biennial restructuring process, which comes into play again in 2016. For the third straight realignment cycle, the Skyrockets find themselves competing against a new slate of league opponents, this time combining with five members from the former District 3-2A — Memphis, Ralls, Crosbyton, Lockney and Clarendon — to form District 2-2A for the next two years. Despite bouncing from one league to another, Wellington has put together an impressive run that includes eight consecutive trips to the playoffs and at least one post-season win in seven of those seasons. Last year the Skyrockets finished 8-5 overall and 3-2 inside rugged District 1-2A, which ended 2015 as the home to two-time defending state champ Canadian and state quarterfinalist Stratford. In the playoffs, Wellington claimed victories against Abernathy and Windthorst before falling to Stratford in the regional round. This season Head Coach Wade Williams will have 12 lettermen back, including 6 starters on each side of the

ball. He is counting on the Skyrockets playoff success to overcome a lack of overall roster depth and experience. “Last year we were so young we did not know how to handle adversity in the playoffs,” Williams said. “If we have no injuries tis year, we have a chance to make a playoff run.” In his wing-T offense, Williams should have the Skyrockets running the ball early and often, which means opponents can expect a heavy dose of senior running backs Jose Tellez and James Kilgore. Last season Tellez earned all-district second team honors by racking up 1,062 yards and 13 TDs on 200+ carries. He also picked up an all-league first team spot on defense with 70 tackles, 3 sacks and 3 interceptions from

his linebacker position. Kilgore’s contributions on offense included 320 yards rushing and a pair of scores. As a defensive back he garnered all-district second team recognition by collecting 36 tackles and picking off 4 enemy passes. To find a quarterback to navigate the offense and put the ball in the air when necessary, Willams will look across the dinner table to his son, Luke Williams. Last season the junior-to-be got his varsity feet wet, completing 36 of 52 passes for 386 yards and 5 touchdowns. Sophomore wide receiver Arturo Tellez hauled in 22 passes for 320 yards and 9 touchdowns last season and should provide a solid target for Wellington’s passing attack in ‘16.

The offensive line will feature athletic senior Dylan Valles, strapping sophomore Trevor Roberson (6-10, 334) and senior all-district second team tight end Brenden Stephens. The defensive line also returns some experience in junior Drake Welch (6-4, 205) and senior Juan Montelongo. Last season Welch contributed 35 tackles, 5 sacks and 3 fumble recoveries. Montelongo pitched in with 32 total stops. Junior linebacker Weston Wright is also back after piling up 76 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries and an interception in his sophomore campaign.

Bovina Mustangs — District 3-2A D-II
Mustangs Expect Playoff Return There are few area head coaches more familiar with the ups and downs of high school football than Bovina’s Hector Guevara. After answering the post-season roll call in six of Guevara’s first seven years at the school, the Mustangs have failed to qualify for the playoffs for three straight seasons. It’s a cycle Guevara hopes to end as he begins his second decade with the program. Last year Bovina put together a 4-6 overall record that included an 0-4 league finish. Despite the district doldrums, Guevara said the team improved every game, and with 8 starters back on both sides of the ball in 2016, he expects that improvement to continue. To secure a playoff spot, the Mustangs will also need to face down a district remodeled by the latest UIL realignment that removed district winner Vega and inserted Smyer and Morton, two teams that Bovina defeated in non-district play last year. Smyer and league returnees Farwell, Springlake-Earth and Sudan all made the playoffs in 2015. “We are eager to get back to the post-season in a very competitive district,” Guevara said. For leadership, Bovina will likely turn to senior Enrique Marez and juniors Bryan De La Torre and Marco

Sanchez. Marez excelled on both sides of the ball in 2015, earning an all-district second team nod at wide receiver and defensive back. De La Torre 23 receptions, 515 yards, 6 touchdowns was an all-league first team receiver, punter and special teams performer as a sophomore. Sanchez landed on the all-district second team at running back. “Enrique will have every opportunity to lead our wide receiver core,” Guevara said. “Bryan is the catalyst of our team and works extremely hard to be the best he can be for his teammates and Marco will be an integral part of our team.” The Mustangs’ offensive attack will also rely on senior running back Emilio Espinoza, junior quarterback David

Indians Are Maturing After winning two games last season and going (1-3) in district, the Morton Indians still have a lot of growing up to do as they prepare for the fourth season under head coach Jimmy Randolph. “I look for our kids to be competitive,” said Randolph, who has recorded a (9-21) record with the Indians. “We are very inexperienced in the offensive and defensive lines and must grow up fast in those positions. We will have a quarterback returning who started three games for us. We must find a go-to receiver and a solid running back. We have a good nucleus back defensively in the secondary and at linebacker.” Randolph – who coached previously at Lampasas, Cross Plains and Crowell with a (35-56) record to show for it – called last year’s team “a very gritty bunch. We played many close games, and injuries had a big influence on our final standing.” The Indians lost eight players to graduation while 15 return, including seven starters in Roosevelt’s spread option offense and five in the 4-2-5 defense. Senior linebacker Anthony Vejar (6-0, 155, 4.8) might be the most accomplished of the veterans, having recorded 63 tackles (6 TFL), 2 sacks, 3 fumbles and 1 interception last season. Fellow linebacker Drew Wallace (6-2, 175, 4.8) added 42 stops (2 TFL), 1 sacks, 2 fumbles

Senior Alan Lopez (5-6, 175, 4.7) is the leading rusher returning, albeit with just 197 yards and 1 TD on 53 carries. Up front, seniors Sergio Espino (6-1, 240, 5.4) and Chris Spivey (6-1, 200, 5.1) resume their roles at center and guard, respectively.

After that it’s at Sudan, home against Bovina, at Smyer and at home against Farwell in the regular-season finale. “3-2A will be a very competitive district,” Quisenberry said. “Farwell and Springlake-Earth are always top notch. Sudan and Bovina will always play hard and be in the mix, and Smyer has done nothing but improve over the last few seasons.”

Miles Bulldogs — District 6-2A D-II
Bulldogs Young & Athletic From a veteran playoff team in 2014 that went to the area round of the postseason, Miles graduated too many seniors to be expected to repeat in 2015. They ended up going 4-7 overall with a 54-0 loss to Iraan in the bi-district round of the playoffs, but the Bulldogs garnered a ton of experience that should boost them moving forward. Miles will be replacing five starters with sophomores in 2016, according to head coach Chad Currie, but they only lost 5 lettermen and are returning 17 from last year’s squad. Despite the small youth movement, Currie said the Bulldogs will be more athletic. In its power spread scheme, Miles will turn to veterans in junior Jonas Garcia (5-9, 175), and seniors Cody Rathmell and Will Eschberger to boost the offense. Garcia, a running back, rushed for 274 yards and 1 touchdown on 58 carries a season ago. Rathmell (5-10, 145) caught 13 passes for 244 yards and 1 TD at wide receiver, and Eschberger (6-2, 230) is a bruising four-year starter on the offensive line. Junior Ross Kalina (5-10, 150) received limited action at quarterback a year ago, but he will be asked to commandeer the Bulldogs’ offense in 2016, and two other skill players to watch will be tailback Gary Gabrielli and wideout Trevor Gilbert. Zack Cook and Tanner Beyer are two standout offensive linemen who will look to assist Eschberger in dominating the trenches up front. Defensively, Garcia will man one of the four linebacker spots in Miles’ 3-4 look. 5 of his 92 tackles recorded last season went for losses. Dayton Halfmann will line up as an outside linebacker, where he registered 6 sacks and 44 tackles – 12 for a loss – in 2015. Beyer and Sergio Gutierrez are two defensive linemen who will look to take up blocks for the Bulldogs’ linebackers to make plays.

Rathmell and Ross Kalin are the team’s top two returning defensive backs. Rathmell had 16 tackles and 2 interceptions last year, and Kalin tallied 32 tackles and 1 interception. An underclassman that could make an immediate impact is sophomore running back/defensive back Kuail Kraatz (6, 175). Miles has remained in District 6-2A, Division II after February’s UIL realignment, but it has waved goodbye to Roscoe, Menard and Roby and welcomed in Albany, Baird and Cross Plains.

Springlake-Earth Wolverines — District 3-2A D-II
WOLVERINES TO FINISH STRONG “It’s not how you start, it’s…” Well, you know the rest. Israel DeLeon certainly does. The Springlake-Earth head coach saw his team win its first eight games last season before losing its last three, including a (31-27) decision to Wheeler for the team’s second straight bi-district loss. “We felt our kids were able to get off to a great start. We will work on finishing the season,” DeLeon said. Six players off last year’s 11-man roster are back, and at the top of the roster (not just because he wears #1) is Michael DeLeon (5-10, 160, 4.8). The senior is coming off a sensational junior campaign in which he completed 140of-250 passes for 2,800 yards with 26 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. DeLeon also ran for another 1,500 yards and 20 TDs, while playing in the secondary on defense made 20 tackles and 9 interceptions. Two of DeLeon’s top targets in 2015 were senior Zach Juarez (5-5, 140) and sophomore Derrick Gover (6-3, 180). Juarez caught 31 passes for 480 yards and 8 touchdowns while Gover was good for 9 grabs, 211 yards and 2 scores. Juarez contributed 50 tackles in Springlake-Earth’s 3-4 defense, which ties junior lineman Ivan Gardea for hightackle honors among veterans. Giving the Wolverines

another quality runner is sophomore James Sandoval (5-8, 180), who as a freshman rushed for 500 yards and 8 touchdowns on 50 totes. Controlling things up front for the green and gold will be the likes of senior Julio Maldonado (5-8, 160), junior Ivan Gardea (5-10, 160), and sophomore Emilio Porras (5-8, 180), who started every game as a freshman. Coach DeLeon called Maldonado, “the senior leader on the O-line”, and said Gardea has, “good feet and size.” It’s going to take a few new bodies to get where the Wolverines want to go in 2016, and one of the most promising is Sabastian Vela. The Wolverines scrimmage Plains and Lockney before opening the season at home Aug. 26 against Vega, the first of four home games in the first five outings.

Sudan Hornets — District 3-2A D-II
Optimism Prevalent As Hornets Prepare for 2016
Sudan has regularly been in or close to reaching the postseason in each of the last five seasons, including a state quarterfinal run in 2012. Despite finishing with more losses than wins in 2015 – they went 5-5 in the regular season and lost 48-19 in the bi-district round of the playoffs to Sunray – third-year head coach Guthry Edwards feels positive moving forward. “The group of guys we have coming back this year has a lot of potential,” Edwards said. “We lost some key players from last year, so there will be some holes to fill. As a coaching staff, we are optimistic about the opportunity that lies ahead of this group of guys.” One thing the Hornets have always done well is run the ball. Last year, they ran for a total of 2,663 yards, and they return two players who were responsible for 956 of those yards. Austin Conley is the leading rusher returning in terms of yards. He ran for 550 yards on 71 attempts with 6 touchdown runs. Daniel Tinajero is another back to keep an eye on. He rushed 96 times for 406 yards and 9 TDs. In the passing game, Vince Montes and Ezra Herrera are Sudan’s top returning receivers. Montes caught 11 passes for 183 yards and 2 touchdowns a season ago, and Herrera tallied 3 receptions for 77 yards and 2 TDs. In their slot-I formation, the offensive line is very

important for the Hornets. Marco Godinez, Noah Baker and sophomore Isaiah Montes (6, 235) should be the glue that bonds together the hogmollies up front. Defensively, Conley is a force in the trenches on the line, where he recorded 48 tackles in 2015, 7 of which went for a loss. Fellow D-lineman Lane Logan collected 37 tackles – 5 for a loss – with 1 sack and 1 fumble. Godinez and Ricky Cornejo are Sudan’s top two returning linebackers. Godinez registered 54 tackles and 1 fumble a year ago, and Cornejo had 31 tackles. An underclassman who should have an immediate impact is junior running back/defensive lineman Juan

Hamlin Pied Pipers — District 4-2A D-II
Pipers Project
a
Great Year
With realignment complete, Hamlin High School will move into new competition this year. Coach Russell Lucas will be taking a talented successful program rich in a winning tradition up against the unknown. After losing only 5 of the 2015 starters, this team has the potential to go deep in the playoffs. With 2 tackles standing over 6-0, weighing in at over 200 lbs. part of our loss to graduation, there is a hole to fill. Getting off to a slow start in 2015, we changed the way we approached things. Our work ethic and enthusiasm took a one win preseason into a one loss district. Losing the final district championship game by a literal inch lit a fire that has been burning ever since. As we continued through the 2015 playoffs, injuries took their toll on us. The week we were knocked out, we had over five starters with injuries that either prevented them from playing or effected their play. The 2016 outlook is bright! We will have seniors Dustin Kiser, Robert Montanez, Avery Wagner, Devin Perez and Alex Turner leading the way. Juniors Shawn Montanez, Ayron Wagner and Kyler Gann all started for the Pipers last season and are returning to lead the way to a Division II, Region I, District 4 Championship. Standing in our way are Roby, Roscoe Collegiate, Plains,
We Support the Hamlin Pipers!! 622
Seagraves, and Tahoka. We are familiar with the Roby Lions and will not take them for granted. Our team, families, and fans want to even the score with Roscoe Collegiate. After beating them early last year in the preseason, they came back to kick us out of the playoffs while we were down with numerous injuries. Plains, Seagraves, and Tahoka will all be schooled in Pied Piper Football this season. We take a week by week approach and focus on one game at a time, but we play a three part season. Preseason allows us to see who will step up into the open positions, or knock someone out of what they thought was theirs. District allows us to get our focus and utilize everyone’s abilities. Then when we hit the playoffs, it is time to maximize team effort. This is our year, Go Green or Go Home.

Plains Cowboys — District 4-2A D-II
Cowboys Saddled Up For most football programs, a single win during an entire season generally has little significance. For Plains, their single win in 2015 represented the end of a long losing streak and earned the Cowboys their first playoff spot since 2010. It could also be the win that propels the team forward in 2016 and beyond. When he took over as Plains’ head coach prior to last season, Chad Terry knew he was inheriting a program that had won just three of its last 40 games and was riding a 19-game losing streak. But Terry also saw potential in the Cowboys’ locker room. That potential first flashed in a heartbreaking 16-13 loss to Smyer in the opening week of district play and finally caught fire in the team’s 22-21 streak-ending win against Morton a couple of weeks later. “The kids worked hard and we were able to end our losing streak and find our way into the playoffs,” Terry said. “We started, at different times, 7-8 sophomores and 3-4 freshman, but it was about changing a culture and this team did a great job of staying the course and not giving in, no matter the circumstance. It takes a wide channel to turn a ship and we are headed in the right direction because the 2015 Cowboys laid the foundation. When we beat Morton it was huge and the come-from-behind win brought life into our team, school and community.” As he prepares for the 2016 campaign, Terry expects to have nine starters back on both sides of the ball. Though they will still be a young team, he said they have made significant improvements in their overall strength and speed. “Our strength, mobility and speed have improved and we are gaining confidence every day in the weight room and on the track,” Terry added. That confidence will come in handy in a reshaped district that is bigger, with six teams instead of five fighting for four playoff slots. Terry said the league is also tough with the return of 2015 state semifinalist Seagraves and the addition of two other teams (Roscoe and Hamlin) who survived multiple playoff rounds a year ago. “There is talent all over the place in the district—great teams and great coaches,” Terry said. On offense, the Cowboys will employ a power read/zone attack led by key returning underclassmen Tanner Sessums and Jaxon Wilhelm. Sessums, a junior, showcased his versatility in 2015 when he was an all-district first team selection as a utility player. Wilhelm, a sophomore lineman, showed plenty of ability in his freshman year by earning an all-district second team spot on the offensive line. The Plains’ 3-4 defense could also be a difference maker in 2016 with the return of senior Jaydon Lira and juniors Isaiah Lira and Bo Franklin. Jaydon and Isaiah Lira were both all-district second team honorees on the defensive line in 2015. Franklin was an allleague second teamer in the secondary. Plains also has one of the district’s top returning underclassmen in sophomore Cesar Reyes, who landed all-district second team kudos at wide receiver and outside linebacker as a freshman. Other Cowboys to watch in 2016 include junior linebacker/

Seagraves Eagles — District 4-2A D-II
Seagraves to Continue Incredible Run?
It’s been quite a ride the past three years for the Seagraves Eagles and coach Steve Heryford. A run to the state quarterfinals followed by backto-back 13-win seasons and appearances in the state semifinals have proven Seagraves to be one of the top programs in the area, and the Eagles are poised to add to their incredible success in 2016. While a dozen players were lost to graduation, 10 lettermen – including five starters on each side of the line of scrimmage – return from last year’s team that was ousted by Albany in the semis for the second straight season. Add to that experience reinforcements from a junior varsity team that went 7-3 and Heryford – who is 35-8 at Seagraves and 62-54 in a decade as a head coach – and the Eagles have the makings for another serious playoff contender. All seven of Seagraves’ returning regulars are seniors, including a pair of two-way starters

Newcomers looking to fill in the holes for the Eagles include Dave Rodriguez, Jose Longoria, Eli Rodriguez, Brandon Longoria, Jerry Simental, Daniel Pinon, Saul Rosas, Dominick Longoria and Fernando Miranda. If Seagraves’ young players can do some growing – both figuratively and literally – look for the Eagles to be flying high once again in 2016. Heryford’s squad has the quickness, if not the size, and definitely possesses the tradition to make some more noise in the Class 2A Division II playoffs.

Tahoka Bulldogs — District 4-2A D-II
Bulldogs
to be
Tahoka showed sign of improvement last season in Head Coach Brandon Hoppers’s second season atop the program. The Bulldogs had some untimely injuries to their young roster which didn’t add up to as many wins as the Tahoka faithful would have liked but heading in to 2016 there are reasons to optimistic with an older more experienced roster and a drop down to Division 2 thanks to realignment. The Bulldogs began 2015 with losses to Crosbyton (6-33) and Post (0-42) before finding some traction and winning three straight to close out non district play. That trio of victories over Smyer (14-4), Ralls (41-14), and Plains (400) built some momentum but a narrow defeat to Hale Center (36-38) in the district opener seemed to derail that train. Tahoka failed to find the W column again with consecutive losses to Floydada (7-58), New Deal (7-41), Olton (6-30), and Abernathy (7-53) to finish the season at 3-7 overall. “We were playing well in the last half of non district play,” Coach Hopper said. “Until injuries and a lack of depth caught up to us during district play.” Coach Hopper went on to say, “With the bulk of starters returning and a year of experience under their belt, I look for a break out year. Add that to dropping to D2, expectations are high.” Seven starters return on offense and eight on the defense.

The Bulldogs boast a trio of players with All-State and/ or recruiting potential. Brit Lockaby QB/DB (6-0, 205, 4.8, Sr.) is described by coaches as “ … a tough kid who puts the team on his back.” Lockby accounted for a total of 11 touchdowns last season and combined to rush and throw for over a thousand yards. Kevin White RB/LB (6-1, 225, 5.0, Jr.) is a physical kid who coaches say is always around the ball. Juwan Hamilton WR/DB (5-6, 170, 4.6, Jr.) accounted for both rushing and receiving touchdowns last season and with his speed is always a threat. Up front on the offensive line the threesome of Ruben Quinonez, John Quinonez, and Bryson Resendez form a solid nucleus. Other players to watch for Tahoka in 2016 are defensive lineman Andrew Alvarez, and Grant Tekell who patrols the Bulldog secondary. Even though we are dropping down to D2, we are still in

Iraan Braves — District 5-2A D-II
Iraan Closing In
The Braves have ran off three straight narrow miss seasons. In 2015 Iraan rolled out thirteen straight victories, including a trio of postseason wins before coming up short of the ultimate goal of claiming a second State Championship for the school. Iraan last took home the state crown in 1996 in what is their only championship season to date. Oh, but how they have been close. Last season’s perfect campaign included a Bi-District shutout win over Miles (54-0), an Area round victory of Electra (41-20), and a Regional triumph over Roscoe (35-18). The Braves were 0-3 all-time against Albany heading in to the schools Quarterfinal match-up and that history was not revenged as once again Albany bested Iraan (28-42) to end the season for the Braves. But history is just that – old news. Heading in to 2016 Iraan has every reason to be optimistic. Head Coach Mark Kirchhoff (40-9 at Iraan, 201-85 overall) spoke of both last years team and this coming season’s. “Our club accomplished a tremendous amount considering the losses from graduation and

moves. Hopefully, the experience of playing four rounds will carry over. We are looking for an improved ball club from last year.” With a whopping twenty lettermen returning including ten starters on offense and eight on defense the Braves should be a force in 2016. One key leader for the Braves is quarterback/ linebacker Clayton Kent (6-0, 190, 4.7, Sr.). Kent is a leader on both sides of the ball and was an AllDistrict QB in his first year to ever play the position. An honorable mention TSWA All-State pick and District Co-Defensive player of the year, Kent racked up 143 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, 2 int’s, as well as totaling 627 yards rushing with 6 td’s, 1105 passing yards and 17 touchdowns.

Lozoya was a 3rd Team TSWA All- State pick, a 1st Team All-District selection at RB, and a 2nd Team All-District pick at linebacker. Canon Andrews DE/RB (6-4, 240, 4.6, Sr.) and Kyle O’Bannon RB/S (6-0, 185, 4.5, Sr.) are the top receiving threats back for Iraan’s Flexbone offense, but they are also vital contributors on defense as well. Andrews was picked as 3rd Team All-State TE, 1st Team All-District TE, and District Co- Defensive player of the year. O’ Bannon had 2614 All-Purpose yards and scored 39 touchdowns to be named District 5-2A Co-MVP. Senior linebacker Rolando Olivo is another player to watch for

Van Horn Eagles — District 5-2A D-II
Eagles Soar
Playoffs
for
Van Horn had a banner year in 2015. After three consecutive losing seasons from 2012-14, the Eagles exploded, going 7-3 during the regular season, including 3-1 in District 5-2A, Division II. They walloped Bronte 46-13 in the bi-district round of the postseason before falling to high-powered Albany 61-14 at area. Van Horn lost a little bit of senior leadership to graduation, but it appears they have the pieces in place to fill in and have a strong season with a deep playoff run. The Eagles lost eight lettermen to graduation, but are returning twenty-one kids to a unit that looks to be a well-oiled machine. Van Horn left opposing defenses dizzy last year, as it racked up 4,880 yards of offense, including 3,040 yards through the air. It is hoping senior quarterback Rafael Rodriguez can take the reins and continue that aerial excellence. The move should be natural for Rodriguez, who was a quarterback of sorts in the defensive secondary at free safety in 2015. He racked up 108 tackles – 2 for a loss – and 5 interceptions. The Eagles’ leading receivers returning are

Not the be outdone, Van Horn’s ground game proved to be lethal a season ago, as well, and the lead running back in 2016 will be Ernest Friel. Friel was responsible for 572 of the team’s 1,840 total rushing yards with 2 touchdown runs, and Jose Baeza chipped in with 21 carries for 53 yards and a TD. Three offensive linemen to watch are Isaac Baeza, Jaime SantaCruz and John Cameron Clark. Defensively, Isaac Baeza and SantaCruz are two standouts who anchor the Eagles’ defensive line in the 3-4.

In 2015, Tarango collected 58 tackles, three of which went for a loss, and two sacks, while three of Escajeda’s 42 tackles went for losses, as well. Urias will be a defensive back to keep tabs on for Van Horn. He recorded 61 tackles – four for a loss – three sacks and two INTs last season. The Eagles remain in 5-2A, D-II for the 201617 seasons, where they will wave goodbye to Eldorado and say hello to Menard. Eldorado was moved up to Conference 2A, Division I, after UIL realignment in February, and Menard is moving in from 6-2A, D-II.

Baird Bears — District 6-2A D-II
Bears
on the
After making just one playoff appearance in nearly a decade, Baird has earned two straight post-season invitations and the 2016 Bears are on the prowl for a third. Last year Head Coach Chad Barron guided the program to an 8-3 overall finish that included a 4-1 league mark and a bi-district playoff loss to Electra. “The 2015 team had a good mix of linemen and skill players,” Barron explained. “I was proud of this group because the lack of depth and size didn’t deter them. We battled injuries the entire season but they continued to work hard and battle every game. They bought in to our system and excelled each week and their work ethic and never-say-die mentality was the calling card for the successful season.” Barron, who is entering his fourth season as Baird’s head coach, is a former Bears’ player, so he takes the their recent success personally. In addition, Barron’s brother, Dusty, is his offensive coordinator. “I take great pride in seeing our athletes excel in their athletic endeavors,” Barron said. “There are several of my athletes that I coach now that I played football with when I was in school. My philosophy at Baird is about family and tradition. We are all from the same mold and cut from the same cloth and will forever be tied together by the ‘B’ on our helmet.” Barron’s 2016 squad will line up behind 7 players who started on offense last season and 6 more who started on defense. He said the Bears will have some question marks when it comes to filling some key spots, but he’s excited by the potential of the young players who are coming up to play vital roles for the team in ‘16. “The thing I like most about the upcoming team is their ‘unfinished business’ approach,” Barron added. “Their work in offseason has shown they are not happy

with the status quo and are eager to build on last season. We return a good core of players, especially our skill players. If we continue to come together and have players step up and fill our holes, I feel we should be in the mix for another playoff spot.” He also believes whichever District 6-2A teams advance to the playoffs could be ready to make some post-season noise. “It will be a dog fight each game to see who claims a playoff spot,” Barron said. “Essentially, you have a sixteam district that has six playoff caliber teams. Nothing will be easy in District 6 for the next two years.” The Bears should certainly have solid senior leadership with the return of Dakota Fannin, Jaden Cerda and Elijah Branton. Last season Fannin passed for 1,254 yards and 11 touchdowns and ran for 1,274 yards and 14 scores en route to the district offensive MVP honors. He also registered 46 tackles as a defensive back and hit on 18 of 26 extra point attempts. Cerda (5-11, 230), an all-district second teamer as a defensive lineman, made his biggest impact along the offensive front. As an OL he was named to the all-district first team, the All-Big County squad and earned all-state honorable mention. Branton (6-2, 215) was an all-league first team linebacker with 92 total tackles, 12 stops for loss, 2 sacks and 3 fumble recoveries. He also landed on the all-district second team as an offensive lineman. Baird also boasts two of the league’s top returning underclassmen in junior Seth Porter and sophomore Jax Bellar. Porter (182 carries, 1,218 yards, 11 TDs) was an all-district first team running back. On defense he logged 109 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, 7 sacks and an interception to garner all-league first team honors, a spot on the all-Big Country team and all-state honorable mention. He also averaged 32.8 yards on 27 punts. Bellar gave the Bears another all-district and all-Big Country linebacker with 25 solo tackles, 50 assists, 4 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries and a defensive score. Other players who could play key roles for Baird in 2016 include promising newcomers Ricardo Gonzalez

Haskell Indians — District 7-2A D-II
I ndians C ontinue O n W ar P ath In 2012 Grady Benton swapped his head coach’s whistle at Slaton for the one at Haskell knowing his new home team hadn’t been to the playoffs since 2009. While the post-season continued to elude the Indians in Benton’s first three years, the dry spell ended last season, year number four, when Haskell finished (3-2) in district play and (7-4) overall after a bi-district loss to eventual state runner-up Albany. “I felt like we had a chance to break that drought in 2014 with the core of our group being sophmores, but we fell a spot short,” Benton said. “With that group back this past season, and a small number of very talented seniors, we were able to make it over the hump. They were a close-knit group that loved the game of football whether it was preparing to play or the game itself. Their commitement to the daily grind matched with great senior leadership allowed them to enjoy a lot of success that Haskell hadn’t got to experience since 2009.” With nine starters back on offense and seven more on defense, Haskell could be primed for a deep post-season run in 2016. Benton is already eager to see if his returnees can earn the program its first back-to-back playoff births since a four-year run from 2004-2007. He said there will competitive battles to replace three-year starter Dylan Hanson at quarterback, defensive leader Garret Tatum, threeyear two-way contributor Pryce Stewart and receiver Kadin Seeliger. “This group will be senior heavy and loaded with a ton of experienced football players, as well as some key juniors that got a ton of playing time,” Benton explained. “We will have a very competitive atmosphere during two-a-days in an attempt to solidify those spots. Our depth remains to be seen, as we will continue to monitor the development of some younger kids.” Benton also thinks District 7-2A could be a tougher nut to crack with the additions of Archer City and Quanah. “With Archer City dropping in classification and a solid Quanah football program coming in to an already very experinced district, every Friday night will be critical,” he added.

all-district second team defense last year with 56 tackles and 3 interceptions, is the most experienced option at quarterback. Senior holdover Lane Burson 137 carries, 810 yards, 12 touchdowns and junior Rocky Haggard 49 carries, 391 yards, 4 TDs should give the Indians a formidible running attack. Burson was also an alldistrict first team linebacker with 69 tackles, 1 sack and 7 tackles for loss. Haskell’s apssing game boasts a pair of experienced receivers in seniors Sam Fouts 32 catches, 28 yards, 7 touchdowns and Kellen Parks (21-165-3). Fouts was an all-league second teamer who also posted 44 tackles as a defensive back. The Indians should also be prepared along the offensive line with the return of senior all-Big Country second team selection Chase Gibson (6-0, 260, first team all-district) and classmate Caden Tatum (second team all-district). Gibson, an all-league second team defense lineman, will rejoin fellow seniors Devon Barrios 55 tackles, 3 sacks, all-district first team and Rudy Espinoza 17 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries to give Haskell one of the leagues’ top defensive fronts. Other Indians to watch in 2016 include senior all-

Haskell’s 2016 campaign begins against Roscoe at a time and location to be determined. On Sept. 2 they play host to Anson before hitting the road for back-to-back battles at Baird (Sept. 9) and Stamford (Sept. 16). Their non-league finale is slated for Sept. 23 at Olney. The Indians jump into District 7-2A play Oct. 7 when they play host to Electra. They follow up an Oct. 14 trip to Quanah with an Oct. 21 home tussle against Munday. Their final district challenges include an Oct. 28 road fight at Archer City and the final regular season home game Nov. 4 versus Petrolia.

Quanah Indians — District 7-2A D-II
Quanah Rebuilding Success A supposed rebuilding year turned into something much more for the Quanah Indians and new coach David Fambrough last year. Now, a veteran roster looks to make an even greater impact in 2016. “Last season was exciting. Many people saw it as a rebuilding year, but as the year went on we not only won our district, but also advanced to the third round of the playoffs,” Fambrough said in looking back on the Indians’ (8-5) campaign that featured convincing playoff wins over Plains (53-0) and Farwell (41-14) before narrowly falling to eventual semifinalist Seagraves (34-28). Seven crucial players were lost off that team, including quarterback Mayson Leija, lineman Devon O’Neal and receiver Jace Parmer. Seventeen lettermen are back – six starters on offense and eight on defense. “This team has lots of overall speed with several returning from last year’s regional semifinal appearance,” Fambrough said. “There is an opportunity for several underclassmen to excel in different positions vacated by last year’s senior class.” Among the veterans is honorable mention all-stater Adam Medina (5-10, 170, 4.6), a senior free safety who recorded 126 tackles in 2015. Medina also rushed for 336

View. The Indians then travel to Seymour, host Windthorst for homecoming, go to Memphis and Shamrock, and, following an open week, host Petrolia before the district opener at home against Haskell. After that it’s at Archer City, home against Electra and at Munday “It’s always exciting when you move into a new district,” Coach Fambrough said. “We saw a lot of the new of the teams last year in pre-district play. We look forward to new opponents and the challenges that come with it. I expect this district to be very competitive every week… all good teams with good coaches. Anyone could really come out as district champion.”

Happy Cowboys — District 1-1A D-I 6-Man
No One Is Happy To Face These Cowboys The Happy Cowboys rode roughshod over their opponents for most of the season in 2016. In dominating fashion Happy spent a good part of the year atop the state rankings and save for a few untimely injuries, the Cowboys very well might have stayed in the saddle all the way to a state title. Still back-to-back 12-1 seasons are nothing to complain about and Head Coach, Tye Keith (60-29 in 8 seasons) has built a solid foundation for the winning ways to continue. Reflecting on last season, Coach Keith said, “It was another great year. We really kept growing as a program, and we have kept getting better. Last year was proof of that. Just proof of what happens when you have some stability and you have young men that are bought into what we do and work very hard. We had some key injuries during our Borden County game that really hurt us tremendously, and all three missed a significant amount of time during basketball season. None the less, it was a memorable year. “ Happy began 2015 with a shutout win over Water

could really play as backups, and now they’re stepping in as starters. Our senior class is going to be difficult to replace, but I believe the guys returning are going to do an exceptional job this year. We will be a little different team than last year. Our biggest thing is going to be developing depth and getting some guys that were on a 9-0 JV to step in and contribute significant snaps on the Varsity Level.” The Cowboys will have four players with All-State potentials in the bunkhouse for 2016. Karson Bryan (5-11, 150, Sr. RB/DB), 6-1 Dalton Gray (6-2, 210, Jr., OL/ DL), Jayton Walden (6-1, 170, Jr., RB/DL), and Colton McCarley (5-11, 160, QB/DB). Other key players to watch include Miguel Mata (5-11,

Miami Warriors — District 1-1A D-I
Warriors Ready For A Run When it comes to district finishes, the Miami football team must feel like Bill Murray caught in a bad remake of Groundhog Day. In each of the last three seasons, the Warriors have finished just shy of a playoff birth with identical 2-2 league records. The last two near misses have occurred under the watchful eye of head coach Jim Holloway, who saw his squad put up a 5-4 overall mark in 2015. Miami found itself with a chance at a playoff spot heading into the final game of the year, but a tough 38-28 loss to Nazareth left them without a post-seaon invitation. “We just missed a playoff berth, but perservered through several key injuries and never complained or made excuses,” Holloway said. “The team started to come together by the end of the year and began to grasp a new and fairly complex system on both sides of the ball.” This year the Warriors will have 4 starters back on both sides of the ball to run Holloway’s unbalanced I-formation offense and 2-3 defense. They will also play in a revamped four-team district that loses Nazareth and Hart but picks up McLean. “We will be very competitive if we stay healthy and

we can improve our passing game,” Holloway reasoned. “Happy will be the favorite; McLean is new to the the district and has great young talent coming up. White Deer is very similar to McLean with a talented bunch entering high school and the 10th grade.” Holloway said the play of senior Cutter McLain and junior Griffin Poage should be a plus for Miami in 2016. Last year on offense McLain rushed for 653 yards and 9 touchdowns and passed for 137 yards and another TD. Defensively he recorded 86 tackles, 5 interceptions and another score. That two-way ability earned him an all-district first team spot. “Cutter is an outstanding all around athlete that can a lot of different things on the field,” Holloway said. “He is a great ball hawk and a sure tackler. Poage wound up missing his last three games in 2015 with an injury, but still managed to rush for 902 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also pitched in on defense with 47 tackles, 1 interception and a TD. “Griffin has fully recovered and is ready to take his game to a higher level,” Holloway stated. “He has great speed and quickness and is a naturally gifted athlete with gread instincts and hands. He should be in college

football in two years.” The Warriors also expect big seasons from seniors Alex White and Cutter Gill. White was named the all-district second team tight end in 2015 with 5 catches for 87 yards. He also racked up 48 tackles as a defensive lineman. Gill (6-0, 260), described by Holloway as a “very strong athlete with very good quickness,” is back to anchor the offensive line. Last year he also recorded 7 tackles and recovered a fumble at linebacker. Holloway said the return of Tate Tolbert on the defensive line will give Miami more depth and a boost up front. He also looks for seniors Levi Smith and Matthew Wheeler 13 tackles, 3 fumble recoveries in 2015 to have break out seasons. Tre Shewmake (5-10, 220) is another Warrior to watch this season. Holloway said the senior center “has excellent footwork and sure hands.” Holloway consider Samuel Hudson and Colton Kelley to be Miami’s most promising newcomers in 2016.

White Deer Bucks — District 1-1A D-I
Young Bucks With New Coach The White Deer football program has been one in transition the last several years after a storied history in eleven man ball including two state title the Bucks dropped down to the six-man game in 2013. Entering the fourth year of a new brand of football White Deer will look to new Head Coach Justin Rucker who comes to the Bucks after a successful season of leading Southland to the Quarterfinal round of the playoffs last season. Coach Rucker will also have the added advantage of a young yet experienced roster. “The 2015 Bucks were forced to play the whole season starting mostly Freshmen and Sophomores,” Coach Rucker said. “Coach Smith and his staff did an acceptional job of beginning the starting stages of building a successful program here at White Deer.” With a tip of the hat to his predecessor, Rucker displays both class and commitment which no doubt his team will pick up on. Seven lettermen will return including five starters on both sides of the ball. With an eye on that veteran roster Coach Rucker said of the coming season, “Because all but one starter returns from a very young football team last year, I feel

like game experience and the desire to work hard and do better than last season will help continue to build this program and allow us to have a more successful season.” The Bucks have two standout sophomores with AllState caliber talent in Gage Freeman (5-11, 160, RB/S Soph., 4.7) and Kason Vigil (5-6, 140, RB/NG Soph., 4.7). Other key players for White Deer include Hadley Freeman (5-7, 150, FB/CB Jr., 4.8), Payton Freeman (6-0, 150, TE/DE Jr., 4.9), Tye Chaney (6-2, 190, G/ DE Sr., 4.9), and Levi Chesser (5-9, 185, QB/LB Sr., 5.0).

(5-5, 145, FB/DE Jr., 4.9) will be vital contributors to the Bucks success in 2016. Looking ahead at the coming schedule Coach Rucker said, “The district has not gotten any weaker. I feel like it is still one of the tougher districts in Region 1. With power house Happy still in the mix it will make winning the district very challenging. Miami and McLean are also very competitive teams with very good coaches. Making the playoffs in this district will be very challenging.” The season gets going at home with a visit from Lefors August 26. Back-to-back road trip follow with the Bucks going to Hart September 02 and Motley County on September 09. Groom visits September 16 for Homecoming. Following a trip to Kress September 23

2016 White Deer Cheerleaders
Anton Bulldogs— District 2-1A D-I
Pat Potts Assumes Anton Control Graduation took a heavy toll on last year’s Anton playoff team, leaving new head coach Pat Potts crossing his fingers that the Bulldogs will be able to get away with having limited veterans with some unproven but promising talent in 2016. “They had great senior leadership and experience. They competed well in a tough district and then lost to a very talented Borden County team,” Potts said in reviewing last season’s Bulldogs team that went (3-1) in district to finish as league runner-up before falling to eventual state semifinalist Borden County in the bi-district round. Anton wound up with a (6-5) record. Five players were claimed by graduation, leaving only three returners. The good news is that all of the veterans have starting experience. “We’ll have to rely on some underclassmen and guys with little varsity experience,” Potts said. “The guys have been working hard and we are excited to get started.” Potts comes to Anton from Rankin where he spent the last nine years, including the head coach last season. Wife Tiffany will serve as Anton’s high school principal. Anton’s preseason roster lists 17 players, sophomores through seniors. Among the leaders will be senior Sean Castillo and junior Jake Gossett, both of whom must have big seasons for the Bulldogs to shine in Potts’ first season.
Good luck, Bulldogs!
We love you,
Tristan!

Other seniors on the roster are Tony Granados, Jace Wood and Manuel Reyna. Others on whom Potts will be relying are junior Caden Martinez and sophomore Ryan Flores, while another sophomore, Elijah Alafa, shows lots of promise. Anton’s schedule is road heavy early with the Bulldogs on the bus for three of their first four outings against Spur, Dawson and Hermleigh, broken up by the home-opener against Ira during week three. Anton hosts Southland, goes to Whitharral then entertains New Home for homecoming on Oct. 7 prior to getting rolling in district. The Bulldogs play their first two on the road against Whiteface and Hart then host Nazareth in the regular-season finale in a game that could decide the district championship. “The new district is still tough,” Potts said.

Hart Longhorns — District 2-1A D-1
Longhorns Hunting For Playoff Spot
Although the Hart football program hasn’t made a playoff appearance since 2008, that doesn’t really matter to Stacy Perryman. Heading into his second season as a head coach, he sees a locker room filled with Longhorns who are focused on having success in 2016 rather than dwelling on past shortcomings. “Our program is ready to take the next step and hunt down a playoff ball,” Perryman said without hesitation. “Our athletes are motivated and working hard to make this goal a reality.” Last season as a rookie head coach, Perryman helped the ‘Horns put together a 5-5 overall record. Though they failed to crack the win column against league competition, there were plenty of positive signs that better district days are ahead. “Last year was a growing season for us,” Perryman said. “Our depth proved to be an issue late in the season, but it was also a blessing because some of our younger athletes stepped into big roles and proved themselves.” When he leads the Longhorns onto the field in 2016, Perryman will do so with 7 players who earned letters last year and 3 who started on both sides of the ball. Although he’d like to have more size throughout the roster, he thinks his team will be able to threaten opponents with their quickness. Hart will also be playing in newly aligned four-team District 2-1A with Anton, Nazareth and Whiteface, which Perryman thinks could be a high risk-high reward situation. “Our new district is not short on talent and it will be a difficult test for our team,” Perryman said. “But it’s also an incredible opportunity to claim a spot as top dog.” The Longhorns’ returnees are led by a trio of senior two-way starters in Abram Carlos, E.J. Esquivel and Angel Morales. Carlos is Hart’s top returning ball carrier and a proven threat as a passer. Last season he rushed for 1,341 yards, scored 20 touchdowns and landed on the all-district first team at running back. He also accounted for 656 yards and 13 more scores as a passer. Carlos also made a big impact on defensive, recording 92 tackles and 2 interceptions at linebacker. Esquivel picked up 191 receiving yards and scored 6 TDs to garner all-district second team honors at spread center. On defense he logged 52 tackles and picked off 2 passes. Morales was named to all-district first team at wide receiver with 161 yards and 5 touchdowns. On defense he racked up 56 tackles and picked off 7 enemy aerials to grab an all-league second team spot at safety. Perryman said incoming sophomore Alejandro

Nazareth Swifts - District 2-1A D-I 6-Man
Swifts Charge New District After a four-year draught from 2010-13 that saw Nazareth win only five games combined in that span, the Swifts have reversed the trend. Nazareth has won 16 total games and reached the postseason the last two years, although it was bounced in the bi-district round both times. But 2015 was a banner year for the Swifts, as they won nine games – their most since a 9-3 campaign in 2008 – and with 10 lettermen returning, the 2016 season may be a special one. Last year, the Blue and Gold had to deal with a difficult situation, and it may have inspired them – and could continue to inspire them – moving forward. “Troy Gerber and Lars Schilderink were in an accident during our bye week on a team-bonding event,” head coach John Stanaland said. “Lars was lost for just one game. Troy was lost for the remainder of the season. “Our kids fought through adversity and handled everything the right way. Returning from the bi week, we lost to then-ranked-No.1 Happy. Then we went

on to beat Hart. For the last game of the regular season, we went to Miami to see who would be district runner-up. We ended up beating Miami 38-28.” Nazareth then ran into Turkey Valley in the first round of the playoffs and was defeated 66-8, marking the second straight year it was knocked out by the Patriots. But Stanaland expects team chemistry to be high in 2016, and he said the Swifts are excited and expect to do big things. Junior quarterback Traytan McLain (5-10,170) will spearhead an offense that focuses primarily on running the ball, but he was effective through the air a year ago with 949 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and just 3 interceptions while completing 65 of 96 attempts. McLain also rushed 20 times for 76 yards and a TD. Sophomore running back Jake Gerber (6-2,160) will look to lead Nazareth’s rushing attack that totaled 2,168 yards last season. He was solely responsible for 413 of those yards on 36 carries with 6 touchdowns. Senior tight end Jake Waldo (6,185) will be the team’s top returning receiver. He caught 13 passes for 157 yards and 2 TDs in 2015. On defense, senior Waylon Leavitt (6-4,190) will man the defensive line in the Swifts’ 2-3 scheme, where he recorded 42 tackles 6 for a loss 2 sacks and 2 fumbles last year. Waldo is the top returning linebacker, where he registered 36 tackles and 2 fumbles, and Gerber and

Midland Christian Mustangs — TAPPS District 1 D-II
Mustangs Kicking it Back in Division II
A losing season is tough for any program and any coach, but when that program is Midland Christian and the coach is Greg McClendon it’s especially rough. The Mustangs suffered a rare sub-.500 campaign in 2015, finishing 5-7 in Division 1 where they were the smallest school…by a wide margin. “We competed very well, but in most games were beaten in the second half,” said McClendon, whose club lost in the second round to Houston St. Pius. “We faced a few crucial injuries that left us short-handed. I was very proud of our kids, but 5-7 and a losing season is tough for everyone to stomach.” Don’t expect the same results in 2016. Midland Christian returns 21 lettermen, including six starters on offense and five on defense. But, maybe more importantly, the Mustangs have returned to Division 2. “Our kids are working hard and we have a tremendous culture, which has led to eight state championships since 2000 Anything less than a ninth state championship will be very disappointing,” McClendon, who is 161-62 in 18 years at the school, said of the upcoming season. “We return a large group of underclassmen with significant playing experience. Our kids are hungry to get back to the top of the mountain.” Among the veterans is a trio of juniors in tackle Luke Fisher, linebacker David Threadgill and running back Luke Sheppard. Fisher (6-4, 305, 5.25), who began starting as a freshman, is “big, quick, strong and has great feet. We’re expecting big things,” McClendon said. Threadgill (6-1, 190, 4.7), whom his coach deemed “special,” led the team in tackles with 97 (8 TFLs) as well as almost every statistical category in 2015. “He’s an extreme worker and competitor.” Sheppard (5-11, 175, 4.65) was injured most of last season but still racked up 539 yards and 6 touchdowns on just 76 carries. Three players – juniors Anderson Needham (6-3, 185, 4.65) and Trey Jacobo (6-0, 170, 4.7) and sophomore Payton Powell (6-2, 175, 4.65) – are vying to take over at quarterback for Westin Elliott and director the Mustangs’ Multiple I/Spread offenses. Needham had over 400 yards receiving last season, second among veterans to Blake Ray who had 423 yards and 2 scores on 27 catches. That’s a lot of talent, and we still haven’t touched the senior class. Standouts there include safety/receiver Cody Wolfe (6-0, 185, 4.66) who was injured last season, middle linebacker Garrett Eddison (5-10, 195, 4.6) who had 84 tackles (3 TFLs, 2 sacks) a year ago, and running back Tyvavion Russell (6-1, 190, 4.8) who ran for 242 yards and 3 TDs.

Weathers started last year at center but broke his collarbone midway through the season. Described as “athletic, smart and a tireless worker,” Weathers will move to guard while Gill remains at center. “He did a tremendous job. He is a little undersized, but very athletic and does everything exactly right,“ McClendon said. Others the coach is counting on in the Mustangs’ 4-3 defense include linemen Noah Hooper and Tyson Banks, who had 37 and 20 tackles last year, respectively, and Landon Troglin and Josh Brown (5-10, 150, 4.7) in the secondary. Troglin compiled 60 tackles in 2015 while Brown played a lot as a sophomore. “We will face a very challenging non-district schedule, which includes defending 3A state champion Brock, two Class 6A playoff teams from El Paso (Eastwood and Americas), TAPPS Division I semifinalist Houston St. Pius and perennial Class 3A power Wall. So we should be battle-tested by the time district comes around,” McClendon said. “Our district race should be very competitive with Grapevine Faith (12-1 a year ago) and Fort Worth Christian (13-1 and state champions a year ago) competing at a high level. Also in District 1 are Fort Worth Southwest Christian and Frisco Legacy Christian. It should be a fun and competitive year.”

Whiteface Antelopes — District 2-1A D-I
Antelopes
on
After a year that saw Whiteface struggle to a 1-9 record and miss the postseason, the Antelopes will be hoping to rebound and resume the success they had in their previous two years which saw them win 14 games. Whiteface dealt with quite a few injuries last season, and it has lost two seniors to graduation from that unit. But what they have returning has the Antelopes feeling positively about 2016. “We will have a big senior class that has been together for a while,” head coach Jason Fortner said. “They have experienced both success and failure. I believe that the team will work to rebound from last year’s season.” In their J-bird offensive scheme, two key players to watch should be Jon Rivas and Drew Mosley. Rivas, a dual-threat quarterback, rushed 89 times for 621 yards and 8 touchdowns last season while completing 31 of 66 passes for 485 yards and 6 touchdowns with 5 interceptions. He also poses a viable threat in the receiving game, where he caught 30 passes for 442 yards and 10 TDs. Rivas is also a ball-hawking linebacker on defense, where he racked up 80 tackles, 6 of which went for a loss, and 9 interceptions last season. Mosley carried 75 times for 489 yards and 8 touchdowns of his own. Peyton Baker will be another receiving threat. He caught 28 passes for 293 yards and 2 touchdowns a year ago. Baker will also stand out on defense, where he will man the line. He recorded 58 tackles – 9 for a loss – and 1 interception in 2015. After UIL realignment in February, Whiteface will be in District 2-1A, Division I 6-Man with Anton, Hart and Nazareth. “For the first time in a long time, we will not face Ropes and Meadow,” Fortner said. “Those two teams are

Lorenzo Hornets — District 3-1A D-1
Hornets To Improve .500 Season Kevin Roberts’ first season at the helm of the Lorenzo Hornets could have gone better. It also could have gone worse as the Hornets finished with a 5-5 record. “We had a very hard-working group. We were very young and inexperienced,” Roberts said in reviewing the 2015 campaign in which the Hornets went 0-3 in district play. Lorenzo won’t be quite so young or quite so inexperienced in 2016. Only two players won’t be back from a year ago, giving Roberts five starters to work with on both sides of the ball. “We are extremely excited. We will be more mature as a group, and our expectations are much higher,” said the coach who counting time at Hart and Lazbuddie is 23-27 in five years as a head coach. One of the driving forces for Lorenzo, especially its spread offense, is Max Dehoyos (5-8, 140, 4.8), a sophomore who is returning from last season when he rushed for 1,500 yards and 30 touchdowns. A couple of upperclassmen Roberts is counting on are David Martinez (5-8, 125, 4.9) at wide receiver and linebacker, and Vicente Salinas (5-9, 200, 5.2), a tight end and linebacker. Martinez compiled 115 tackles last season,

tops among the team’s veterans, while Salinas contributed 110 stops out of Lorenzo’s 3-2 defense. Roberts said Salinas “is very strong and has good hands.” Other top tacklers back in the fold are lineman Michael Gonzalez, who had 60 takedowns in 2015, and in the secondary Steven Quintana with 40 tackles. Others the Hornets are counting on include junior offensive lineman/defensive end Daniel Cavasos (5-7, 160, 5.2) and offensive lineman Nathan Lopez, whom Roberts described as “very strong and quick.” Lorenzo will try to use its speed to make up for a lack of size as the Hornets look to be more competitive in 2016, especially within the district. “It will be an extremely competitive district,” Roberts said.

Meadow Broncos — District 3-1A D-I
Meadow Will Continue Turnaround The 2015 season proved to be turnaround time for the Meadow Broncos as they claimed an unbeaten district championship and ended a playoff drought in the first year under a new head coach. Now, the Broncos are looking to make sure the turnaround continues in 2016 and beyond. “This year we will have lots of fresh, new faces on the field to go with some veteran players,” said head coach Brian Casey Cooper (Meadow’s defensive coordinator is Brian K. Cooper). “We look to continue our success and focus on building the program the right way, while also trying to mold these young men into the citizens of tomorrow.” After winning just two of their first six games, last year’s Broncos went 4-0 in district and defeated Klondike in bi-district 52-39 before falling in the regional round to Happy, finishing with a 7-5 record. “We started with a tough non-district schedule but learned and improved every week. Once district came around our kids were in full tilt and performed well every week,” Cooper, a Baylor grad, said. “For the (five) seniors, it was their first time making the playoffs. I felt like they did a great job laying the foundation for the youth to follow and continue to build upon.” Meadow will miss the likes of players like Adrian Flores and Jose Moya, but seven Broncos are back, three of which have starting experience on offense with four starters returning on defense. Returning two-way starters include junior Ruben Moya and sophomore Jacob Flores. Moya (5-8, 170, 4.8) plays fullback

He rushed for 649 yards and 16 touchdowns on 67 carries a year ago when he earned honorable mention allregion honors, while also racking up 98 tackles, 6 interceptions and 2 TDs on defense. Flores (6-1, 160, 4.9) plays quarterback and safety, last year throwing for 250 yards and 9 touchdowns (out of 13 completions), while on defense getting 64 tackles and 5 picks. Headlining the senior class is “athletic” end/ noseguard/punter Chanse Smith (6-2, 180, 4.8), who earned honorable mention all-region accolades in 2015 when he had a phenomenal 9-to-10 receptions-to-touchdown ratio. Another pair of experienced pass-catching hands belong to Robert Sanchez (5-9, 120), who last year caught 10 balls for 150 yards and 5 TDs. A junior, Sanchez caught 4 more passes and made 35 tackles as a defensive back. Returning up front is senior guard/end Robert Herrera (5-11, 185), described by Cooper as

a “big body who can move.” Among the new Broncos hoping to contribute are sophomores Jordan Flores at running back/linebacker and Isiah Villegas at end. Junior Riley McBee gives Meadow a veteran kicker after he made 11-of-20 PATs in 2015. After scrimmages against O’Donnell and Southland, the Broncos open the season on the road against defending state semifinalist Borden County before playing four straight home games against Petersburg, Sterling City, Spur and Sands. Four straight road games follow against Hermleigh and Motley County, then the start of district against Ropes and New Home. The regular-season ends at home against Lorenzo. “Really, our district has the same three core teams, but dropping Anton and Whiteface and picking up Lorenzo.,” Cooper said. “I believe every game is going to be tough, but I look forward to the challenge.”

New Home Leopards — District 3-1A D-I
Leopards Set For Solid Year New Home suffered some key injuries that marred their 2015 season, but the program does have some solid athletes on board as evidenced by strong basketball and track seasons for the school. The Leopards will need to stay healthy in 2016 but with a year under their belt for Head Coach Fernando Baeza the team should see more success in 2016. The Leopards battled hard to begin 2015 losing several close games including the opener (28-34) against Amherst. A loss to Hermleigh followed (6-51) before New Home against fell in tight fashion to Sands (73-77). Losses to Borden County (0-46) and O’Donnell (26-60) kept the Leopards without a spot in the win column but that changed in the final non district game with a win over Grady (36-31). A victory over Ropes (48-12) got district play started but losses to Anton and Meadow followed. Only two letter men were lost and eight return including five starters on each side of the ball. New Home will rely on the strength of their big senior class in 2016, but overall depth could be a problem especially if the injury bug hits again. The seniors that will lead New Home in 2016 are Emmanuel Rosa (End/End), Jackson Abney (QB/End), Billy Castro (WR/C), Miguel Gomez (RB/LB), Garrett Jameson (C/End), Sevastian Rodriguez (RB/LB), David Mendez (RB/LB), and Ramon Barraza (C/End). The Leopards will also rely on a pair of talented

Ropes Eagles — District 3-1A D-I 6-Man
Jackson Says Ropes The nasty ol’ injury bug took a bite out of Ropes’ roster last season, and the Eagles never recovered. Ropes won two games and went (1-3) in district play. “We lost some key players to injury and, therefore, struggled to be competitive in district. We never really had enough depth to survive the injuries and make the playoffs,” veteran coach Lane Jackson said. Jackson hopes last year’s crippling injuries are a thing of the past as the Eagles look ahead to the 2016 campaign. “This year will be a reloading year for the Eagles. It will be interesting to see which underclassmen and returning lettermen step up and send the Ropes Eagles into the playoffs,” said Jackson, who carries a win-loss record of (116-88) over 18 years as a head coach, all at Ropes. Nine players were lost to graduation, but only a couple were “key contributors.” Of Ropes’ five returning lettermen, two started on offense and four on defense. Jackson said the Eagles’ skill positions are in pretty good shape as senior running back Colton

Brogen Johnson
McNabb and junior quarterback Kiaston Terry, both two-way starters a year ago, return, as do ends Brogen Johnson and Adam Salas. McNabb (5-10, 185) was a first-team all-district and second-team allregion punter in 2015 when he also earned secondteam all-district at defensive end where he recorded 53 tackles. Terry (6-0, 160) also was second-team all-district on defense at cornerback for his 48 stops and 2 interceptions, while in Ropes’ multiple-set offense he completed 36-of-86 passes for 454 yards with 5 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. Johnson (6-0, 160), a senior linebacker, was a third all-district defensive second-teamer in Ropes’ 2-3-1 alignment for his team-leading (among veterans) 60 tackles

The next, with five, is Salas (5-6, 140), a junior who rushed for 168 yards and a couple of touchdowns in 2015 while also getting 39 tackles and 1 fumble recovery on defense. Other strong candidates for starting roles are seniors Christian Willlmon (5-6, 155) at running back and Nathan Lara (5-6, 195) at middle linebacker, along with junior Samuel Longoria (5-7, 155) at center and defensive end. Among the new faces the Eagles are looking to are junior Brian Sehon (5-11, 195) at end and linebacker, and sophomores Jackson Hisel (5-10, 140) in the backfield and

Spur Bulldogs — District 4-1A D-I
Spur Spins Back To Winning Ways Under Shelton After back to back four win seasons, Spur dug in and returned to the positive side by posting a winning record in 2015 for the first time since 2012. After his second season at the school, Head Coach Jeff Shelton said of his squad, “The team did a great job of playing together - really proved that we could play as a great unit, in spite of not having dazzling individual stats.” The Bulldogs got going with a big (62-15) win over Bryson to get started. A narrow 3 point loss to Motley County (30-33) even the record, but Spur took down Rotan (74-28) in game three. A loss to paducah (20-63) again evened the record but the Bulldogs rebounded with consecutive wins over Fort Elliott (54-8) and Anton (41-40) before dropping the final non district game to Follett (4648). Spur got back on track with a district win over Lorenzo (56-6), but a shutout loss to Valley (0-46) stopped the momentum. Spur defeated Petersburg (62-16) to close out the regular season and guarantee a winning campaign. A tough Bi-District match-up against Happy ended the Spurs season (8-53) with the Cowboys prevailing. Spur lost only two lettermen and return ten including four starters. Still Coach Shelton said the squad will rely

on teamwork, “With no bonafide superstars on the roster, the 2016 squad will have to continue to build on what the 2015 team started - superior team play to win ballgames.” Kamren Shelton (5-8, 145, SB/DB, Jr) was a huge contributor on offense last season with 660 passing yards and 18 touchdowns through the air and a 1034 rushing yards and another 13 rushing touchdowns to his credit. Llano Bateman (5-8, 140, WR/DB, Jr.) also has a touch of experience carrying the ball. A pair of seniors, John Vasquez (5-8 165 E/NG Sr.) and Jett Cabler (6-1, 175, QB/E, Sr.) give the Bulldogs some receiving experience. Tre’ Garvin (5-10, 170, C/NG, Sr.) is cited by the coaches for being a “good, smart blocker.”

Vasquez and Garvin will anchor the defensive line and Cabler is the top line back returning. Shelton and Bateman will be key in the secondary. Other key Bulldogs to keep an eye on for 2016 include Jeremiah Lorimer (5-6 125 RB/DB Soph.), Keaton Adams (5-7, 125, E/E, Soph.), Paden Shafer (5-6, 130, E/E, Soph.), Ty Adams (5-11 190 K, Sr.), Jake Weiser (5-11, 180, C/NG, Soph.), and Tony Ortiz (5-8, 160, E/E, Sr.). Looking ahead at the 2016 schedule after redistricting Coach Shelton said, “It’s much deeper than our last district. Any of the 4 teams could win it.” No doubt the upcoming season will present challenges, but with a good solid district full of capable teams fans off all the schools should be in for a treat.

Borden County Coyotes — District 5-1A D-I
Coyotes On Mission: “No Regrets, No Surrender” If it sounds like Trey Richey and the Borden County Coyotes are on a mission in 2016, it’s because they are. Much of that mission stems from last season when the Coyotes won their first 13 games in dominating fashion but lost in the semifinals to Crowell, 68-40. “Last year was one of the most difficult endings to a season we have ever been a part of, and that includes a game the year before when we scored on the final play only to have it taken away due to a penalty,” Richey said. “We truly felt like we had a chance to win it all, and for it to end the way that it did was very difficult for us all. We just didn’t play well, but most importantly we were outcoached and outplayed in one of the biggest games of our career. We fell short of what we had hoped and dreamed of, but it shouldn’t take away from one of the most explosive and dominating teams we have ever had here.” The good news is most of last year’s team is back. Only three players, including starting center and cornerback Korbin Martinez, were lost to graduation, leaving 14 lettermen including five starters on each side

of the ball. “We must re-focus, reload and come out with the mindset that we will play one play at a time in order to win the day, and honestly have no excuses and refuse to lose,” said Richey, who is 96-20 entering his 10th season as a head coach at BC. “Our slogan should simply be, ‘No Regrets.’” No fewer than six Coyotes possess all-state potential, according to Richey. Among them is senior Corbin Sumners (5-10, 165, 4.5), a three-time allstate honoree who last season rushed for 2,323 yards and 39 touchdowns on just 143 carries (16.2 ypc). He also had 443 receiving yards and another 6 TDs and made 88 tackles (8 TFL), 3 interceptions, 2 fumbles

and 2 sacks on defensive at cornerback. Returning to quarterback Borden County’s J-Gun offense is threetime all-state senior Hunter Jones (5-11, 167, 4.5), who in 2015 completed 35-of-58 passes for 851 yards with 15 TDs and just 2 picks while rushing for 550 yards and 7 scores on only 26 attempts (21.2 ypc). On defense at safety Jones amassed 126 tackles (7 TFL), 2 sacks and 4 interceptions. A third senior is cornerback/linebacker Jayton Lewis (5-10, 155, 4.5), who compiled 127 tackles (14 TFL) and 2 interceptions. Two-time all-stater Trace Richey (6-1, 192, 4.7), just a junior, is the district’s two-time defensive MVP who as a linebacker recorded an incredible 173 tackles (17 TFL), 8 sacks, 6 interceptions, 3 fumbles and 4 touchdowns. On offense Richey had 17 catches for 462 yards and 8 TDs, 475 rushing yards and another 8 TDs, plus 650 passing yards and 8 more scores. Two-way end Ryan Willborn (5-10, 155, 4.6) accounted for 102 tackles (9 TFL), 3 sacks and 2 fumbles while kicker Easton Edwards (6-2, 176, 4.9) successfully booted 85-of-101 PATs. Another all-state prospect is sophomore center/end Ben Justice (5-11, 175, 4.8), who Coach Richey said has “great hands and athleticism.” Justice had 57 tackles (6 TFL) and 2 sacks in 2015. Joining Justice on the offensive line are veterans Braxton Barnes, the team’s top blocker, and Diego Bernal, whom Richey said is a good blocker and has
good hands. Other players to keep an eye on are Steven Carrillo, Braxton Coor, Kale Yarbro and Noah Morales, while promising newcomers include sophomore quarterback/safety Payton Merket (5-11, 155, 4.7), junior running back/safety Nick Prouix (5-10, 158, 4.5) and junior corner Morgan Wilson (5-10, 155, 4.9). Borden County’s new district sees a couple of old rivals back in Ira and Hermleigh. “Ira has been one of the most successful programs around over the years, so they will present an amazing challenge along with a much-improved Hermleigh team and a playoff team from a year ago in Klondike. O’Donnell hired one of the most respected and successful coaches in six-man history in Kevin Ray.”

O’Donnell Eagles— District 5-1A D-I
Ray Sets Sights
on
On the heels of a (5-5) season and 1-2 district slate that failed to get them into the state playoffs, the O’Donnell Eagles have put their program in the experienced hands of new coach Kevin Ray. Ray has served as a coach for three decades, including winning a state championship at Trinidad, and after sitting out last season he’s chomping at the bit to return to the sidelines. “Getting back into it is exciting,” Ray said. “I’ve had a lot of success with a lot of good kids.” The new coach takes over a program that lost six players from its 2015 roster, four of whom were starters. Ten lettermen return, including a pair of starters on each side of the line of scrimmage. “We have high expectations to do some good things,” Ray said. Among the players leading O’Donnell in 2016 will be Bry Todd, Hagen Montgomery, Kale James, Patrick Grant and Jaden Benavidez. “They’re wanting more (than 5-5). We have high expectations,” said Ray, adding that he likes the Eagles’ size and strength as well as roster depth. O’Donnell’s season opens with back-to-back home

games against a loaded Southland team followed by Whiteface. The Eagles then play at Ropes, face the Lubbock Titans, go to New Home then host Spur prior to starting District 4-1A Division I play at Klondike. The regular-season ends with a home game against Ira, a trip to Hermleigh, then, after an open week, home against defending state semifinalist Borden County. “Our district is pretty good, pretty balanced,” Ray said. “Borden County is a monster and Ira is good as are Hermleigh and Klondike. We’ll have to be on our game. You can only lose one in a five-team district (and make the playoffs), so we hope to sweep through it.”

Garden City Bearcats — District 6-1A D-1
Garden City Ready To Reload Garden City has been a perennial powerhouse in Conference 1A, Division I 6-Man football for a long, long time now, and that doesn’t appear to be changing any time soon. Jeff Jones took over as head coach of the Bearkats in 2015 after spending the previous six years at Marfa, and the program hasn’t missed a beat, as it has gone 19-6 over the last two seasons. In 2016, Garden City will have to replace a strong senior class that graduated eight lettermen. But if history is any indication, the Bearkats should have no problem filling in the holes and competing at a high level once again. But Garden City is certainly going to need to be firing on all cylinders as they enter league play, as they have been shifted into a stout District 6-1A, D-I. “Our JV was very good, but it will take time to adjust to the varsity level,” Jones said. “We are looking forward to the new district, since we add rivals Sterling City and Robert Lee, but this district will be much tougher from top to bottom. Hopefully, our young team will be clicking by the time district games begin.” Garden City will run the J-bird on offense, which utilizes a strong ground attack that will give way to big plays in the passing game off play-action and toss passes. A big-play threat any time he steps on the field is senior running back/linebacker Riley Eggemeyer (6, 145). Last year, Eggemeyer rushed 65 times for 842 yards and 19 touchdowns, caught 12 passes for 366 yards and 7 TDs, and he completed 2 passes for 67 yards and 2 touchdowns. On defense, he registered 59 tackles, 2 fumbles forced, 2 fumbles recovered, 1 interception and 1 defensive TD. Another big-time player to watch will be senior tight end/ defensive back Ethan Goodwin (6-4, 160). Goodwin caught 19 passes for 424 yards and 9 touchdowns on offense a season ago, and on defense, he collected 89 tackles and picked off 9 passes, 1 of which he returned for a TD. Eggemeyer earned all-state accolades at utility back for his efforts, and Goodwin was named to the all-region team at defensive back. Other key returners are junior quarterback/defensive back Trent McMillan (5-9, 145), senior running back/ linebacker Jose Gallegos (5-9, 150) and senior offensive and defensive lineman Drake Douglass (5-10, 185). Some top newcomers moving up from the junior varsity squad are junior Alfred Leos (5-9, 145), junior Cade Braden (5-9, 190), sophomore Zach Burnett (5-9, 190), sophomore Hagan Halfmann (6, 140), junior Derek Halfmann (6, 165), junior Victor Salinas (5-8, 170), sophomore Josue Gutierrez (5-7, 135), sophomore Raul Almazan (5-8, 145) and sophomore Cesar Chavez (5-8, 145). The Bearkats are scheduled to open their season on Saturday, Aug. 27 at Borden County against Austin Varitas. They will begin district play on Oct. 21 at Westbrook, and they will finish off their regular-season schedule at home against Robert Lee on Nov. 4.

Sterling City Eagles — District 6-1A D-I
Eagles Loaded Despite what head coach Trey Sisco described as a young and inexperienced team, Sterling City had an excellent season in 2015. The Eagles dominated the regular season, going 9-1 (3-0 District 6-1A, Division I 6-Man) before thumping Rankin (67-22) at Garden City in the bi-district round of the postseason. They could have possibly made it even more of a special season, but they ran into the eventual state runner-ups in Crowell in the regional round and were defeated (62-14) at Merkel. From last year’s excellent team, Sterling City will be returning nine players in 2016, and Sisco said the Eagles should have more overall depth and experience. The Purple and Gold run the J-bird scheme on offense, and they are very good at it. They racked up 3,497 yards on the ground a season ago, led by junior running back Tavenn Raynor’s 1,363 yards and 17 touchdowns on 92 carries. Raynor also plays one of the linebacker spots in Sterling City’s 3-3 defense. In 2015, he recorded 61 tackles, 1 fumble and 1 interception. Senior Jared Everett will continue to contribute in the ground game, where he tallied 325 yards and 9 TDs on

Horwood caught 14 passes for 218 yards and 4 touchdowns in 2015, and at defensive end, he registered 63 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 fumble and 4 interceptions. Also on the defensive line, junior Brenden Sisco is a regular visitor to the opposing team’s backfield. Last season, Sisco racked up 115 tackles, 18 sacks, 4 fumbles, 1 interception and 2 defensive touchdowns. Junior Josue Rodriguez is a force to be reckoned with at linebacker. He racked up 139 tackles, 3 sacks, 4 fumbles and 1 interception last year. Sterling City will remain in 6-1A, D-I with Robert Lee after UIL realignment in February, and they will welcome

Fort Davis Indians — District 7-1A D-I
Indians Counting On Youth Fort Davis entered league play in District 7-1A, Division I 6-Man a year ago playing very well, as it won five of its first seven games. But the Indians went 0-3 the rest of the way, finishing 5-5 overall and missing the postseason. The 2015 version of Fort Davis was senior-laden, but as this season approaches, the Indians are going to have to have each of their youngsters step up. They are not returning any seniors and have only two juniors coming back. Head coach Seth Nolan said “Fort Davis is going to have to rely on a ton of sophomores and freshmen.” It lost its top four rushers and top five tacklers to graduation, and it also lost last year’s district Newcomer of the Year, quarterback Maverick McIvor, to transfer. As a freshman, McIver accounted for 2,943 total yards offensively with 34 touchdowns last year, and he also racked up 93 tackles defensively. Running back/linebacker Trent Whitesell and fullback/ defensive end Cody Granado were two key players lost to graduation. Whitesell had 1,345 all-purpose yards, 32 TDs and 67 tackles a season ago, and Granado had 549 allpurpose yards, 7 touchdowns and 52 tackles. But sometimes a new start to a football program can be refreshing, and that is what Nolan and company are hoping for in 2016. One player the Indians can rely on in their spread offensive scheme is Penn Merrill (6-1, 150). The sophomore was a first-team all-district selection at spread center as a freshman last year, and he will also man the defensive end position in Fort Davis’ 4-2 scheme, where he registered 14 tackles. Sophomore Sabien Granado (5-9, 170) is the Indians’ top returning linebacker. He collected 16 tackles a year ago. One newcomer to keep an eye on should be freshman running back/safety Jack Lanpher (6, 160). The Indians have shifted to a new district after University Interscholastic League realignment in February, but not much will change in regard to their league opponents. Garden City has moved to 6-1A D-I, and Imperial Buena Vista has joined Fort Davis, Marfa and Rankin in District 7. The Indians are scheduled to open the season on Aug. 26 at 7:30 p.m. against El Paso Home School at Home. Their first league ballgame will be at home against Rankin on Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m., and their regular-season slate comes to a close on Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Marfa.

Buena Vista Longhorns — District 7-1A D-I
Longhorns Loaded After almost going all the way last season, the Buena Vista Longhorns are back to take another swing at doing just that in 2016. Coach John Benavidez lost only three players off a team that won its first thirteen games before losing in the state semifinals. The Longhorns claimed an unbeaten district title then claimed playoff victories over Dell City, 64-14, Rising Star, 60-14, and Balmorhea, 46-41, prior to falling to Follett, 44-38. Nine lettermen are back, including three offensive and five defensive starters for a program that figures to be among the favorites to win it all for at least the next couple of years. Among the veterans are seniors Ethen Evans and Miguel Padilla, along with Joseph Sarabia and Jose Castro who head up a strong junior class. The (6-3, 190) Evans returns at quarterback and linebacker in the Longhorns’ multiple offensive and defensive sets after last year completing 89-of132 passes for 1,830 yards with an amazing 33 touchdowns and just 1 interception. Evans, clocked at 4.8 in the 40, also is the team’s top returning tackler with 118 stops to go with 8 fumbles and 3 interceptions. Padilla (5-6, 155, 4.9) plays running back on offense and on the line on defense where he contributed 76 tackles and 6 fumbles in 2015. Sarabia (5-8, 155, 4.85) is the leading returning receiver, having caught 24 passes for 483 yards and 11 TDs while racking up 69

Castro (6-0, 195, 5.0) last year rushed 90 times for 1,158 yards and 22 touchdowns and got 46 tackles playing alongside Sarabia. Other members of that talented junior class are running back/defensive lineman Guadalupe Salcido (5-11, 170, 5.0), end/defensive back DJ Whaley (5-10, 165, 5.2) and lineman Avie Lozano (5-8, 180, 5.2), who a year ago caught 11 passes for 240 yards and 3 TDs while getting 55 tackles and 3 fumbles on “D.” Salcido added 38 stops and 3 fumbles.

Rankin Red Devils — District 7-1A D-I
Shelton Commanding Red Devils As the new head coach in Rankin, Jeff Shelton plans to build on the Red Devils’ recent playoff run by doing a few things very well. “We’ll try to keep it simple. I’m pretty proud of the fact that the teams I coach play above their talent level. If we put team first, we always have a chance to be successful, and success isn’t always a state championship trophy,” Shelton said. A native of Northeast Colorado who graduated from West Texas A&M, the 44-year-old Shelton most recently coached in Spur where he spent two seasons. He also was previously the head coach at Roscoe Highland, New Home and Vilas, Colo., and was defensive coordinator at Jayton when the team played for a state title in 2006. Shelton his approaching his 10th season as a head football coach. Shelton inherits a team that under Pat Potts, now coaching in Anton, went (4-7) last season and made the playoffs for the fifth time in the last six years by going (2-1) in district. The Red Devils lost in the first round of the playoffs to Sterling City, (67-22). Four lettermen – including three starters on each side of the ball – were lost from that team, resulting in eight veterans returning in 2016. Because he didn’t get the job until the summer, Shelton has a lot of catching up to do as far as installing his system and learning about his players’ strengths and weaknesses. “Players did a good job in summer weights and conditioning,” he said. “We have the potential to be competitive if we can gel as a unit. ‘Team’ will have to be what we rely on.” Shelton considers himself a defense-first coach. “We are going to be fundamentally sound and get after it. We don’t want to spend a lot of time thinking. We

want to make quick reads and be disciplined.” After scrimmages with Sands and then Grandfalls and Paint Rock, Rankin opens the season on the road against Balmorhea Aug. 26. The Red Devils then play four of their next five games at home, starting with Trinity and Sanderson and ending with Garden City and Robert Lee for homecoming Sept. 30. A game at Grady is in the middle of the four-game homestand. The Red Devils go to Water Valley for their final non-district game, then following an open week the team’s district schedule sees Rankin going to Fort Davis, hosting Marfa, then ending up at Buena Vista. “Buenta Vista is well coached and has their core players back. They’re one of the top teams in the state,” Shelton said. “Marfa and Fort Davis both have their staff and core layers back as well.”

Veribest Falcons — District 8-1A D-I
Falcons
to
Surprise District
While it has not had much success over the past three years, Veribest has something going for it heading into the 2016 season – numbers. The Falcons are returning 12 lettermen from last year’s team while only losing 4 to graduation. Jack Shely, who has been a head coach for 26 years, said their 1-9 overall record a season ago was a result of inexperience. “Last year’s squad could have won another game or so, but the lack of knowing how to win and a killer schedule combined to make for a long year,” he said. Veribest was in District 6-1A, Division II in 2014-15 with three tough schools in Water Valley, Robert Lee and Sterling City. In 2016-17, after UIL realignment in February, it will compete in 8-1A, D-II with Paint Rock, Santa Anna and Water Valley. “Realignment should help us in that we lost schools who our kids felt like they could not compete with and picked up schools who will be tough, but they are new to us,” Shely said. “Again, how we handle that situation will be a real test.” Four players to watch for the Falcons are senior Hagen Beavers (6-2, 207), Thomas Barnes, senior Canon Fluitt (6-1, 175) and junior Kolt Halstead (6, 170). Beavers will likely split time at quarterback with Jayton Warren, and he will also man the defensive line in the Blue and Gold’s 2-3-1 defense alongside junior Angel Marquez (5-11, 150). Barnes is a weapon in the passing game, and he is also one of the team’s top returning linebackers, according to Shely. Along with Barnes, sophomore Zach Bolin (5-7, 140), Justin Calvert, David Pastor and Cody Schafer will be four players to keep tabs on along the offensive line. Fluitt and Halstead should factor in Veribest’s rushing attack with Isaac Oviedo, and the two will team up with Barnes to form an effective trio at linebacker, as well. Oviedo and Justin Warren are standouts in the defensive secondary. Shely said he has certainly liked what he has seen with the Falcons’ effort leading up to the season. “This group has worked hard in the offseason and has gained strength,” Shely said. “They are more focused and I feel will be more mentally tough. I feel if we can win a few games early, we might surprise some people.”

Water Valley Wildcats — District 8-1A D-I
Wildcats Loaded With Speed One of the main ingredients for a successful six-man football team is speed, and Water Valley has plenty of that. Led by 200-meter state champion Jeremy Jackson as well as Shiloh Hughes, the Wildcats have made an impressive mark at the state track meet the since 2014, winning the 4x100 relay all 3 of those years and the 4x200 twice while claiming the overall title the last 2 years. But can that abundance of speed translate to the football field? It didn’t last season when Water Valley posted to a 4-6 season with only one district win. “Last year was a difficult season for us and we did not win district or make the playoffs,” coach John York said. But York, who is 33-13 in five seasons at Water Valley and 85-26 counting his time at Follett, is confident the Wildcats can get the job done in 2016. “The returning kids have been working hard in the off-season and are hungry for a return to competing for the district championship and a state playoff run,” he said. Only 4 lettermen – 2 starters on offense and 2 on defense – return from a year ago. Hughes (6-1, 180, 4.8), a senior, is back to quarterback Water Valley’s Offset

Other veterans are end Tyler Hoover (6-4, 220, 5.0), whom the coach said “should be dominant his senior year” after making 61 tackles a year ago, and senior linebacker Alec Sharp (5-10, 165, 4.7, who had 16 stops last season and “has the potential to be an impact player.” Another senior contributor will be lineman Jayden Jones (5-10, 175, 4.9), who “looks to have a great senior

Following scrimmages against Sterling City and Robert Lee, Water Valley opens the season by taking on Follett in Jayton on Thursday, Aug. 25. After playing at Klondike, the Wildcats get their next 3 at home against Grady, Westbrook and Eden. A trip to May is followed by homecoming against Rankin and leads into an open week prior to district play at Paint Rock and Santa Anna then home against Veribest.

Lefors Pirates — District 1-1A D-II
P irates R eady T o H unt P ost S eason T reasure
Over the last decade, Lefors has become very successful at making its way into the football postseason. During that time, the Pirates have claimed a playoff spot nine times, including the last five years in a row. Unfortunately, their ability to make a deep postseason run has hit choppy seas since a state quarterfinals appearance in 2008. Head coach Derek Schlieve, who is preparing for his second year at Lefors, thinks the tide of playoff frustration could be about to change. Last year the Pirates finished 6-6 overall and 2-1 in district play. Their season ended with a loss to Southland in the regional round. However, they did avenge an early-season loss to Groom by beating the Tigers in the bi-district round for the program’s first post-season win since ’08. “The group took a big step forward, but they are looking to improve again during the 2016 season,” Schlieve said. “Last year a step was taken forward; this year the Pirates are wanting more.” Although they’ll still be a young team, Lefors’ 2016 edition will feature five returning underclassmen that made their mark on the district last season.

stay healthy, Schlieve thinks the Pirates have a chance to challenge Follett for the District 1-1A crown and make a deep post-season run. “We will enter the season with the mindset that in order to be the man you will have to beat the man,” Schlieve said. “We may not have many superstars, but we make up for that by having a bunch of players who are more than capable of being a great role player for the good of the team. This is truly a group of players who are eager to show what they can do on the field. The quicker they come together, the better the results will be for Pirates’ fans.” Lefors’ fortunes will likely be determined by the success of two of the league’s top returnees in junior Kyndan Lott and sophomore Kody Henderson.

player in 2015. He made his biggest impact on defense with 29 tackles and 2 sacks. Other players who could make a mark for Lefors in 2016 include junior Johnny Rangel; sophomores Tyson Tapp, Blake Williams and Damayne Gilbert; and freshmen Hayden Morgan and Braden Tapp. The Pirates’ 2016 treasure hunt gets underway with an Aug. 26 trip to White Deer. After the Sept. 2 home opener against Hedley, they return to the road for a Sept. 9 challenge at Plainview Christian. Their remaining nondistrict home slate includes visits from Holy Cross on Sept. 16 and Northside on Oct. 14. They also face road tussles at McLean (Sept. 23) and Groom (Sept. 30). Lefors’ effort to hoist the District 1-1A flag starts Oct. 21 when they host Higgins.

Groom Tigers — District 2-1A D-II 6-Man
Tigers On The Prowl Year in, year out Groom is one of the areas’ toughest teams. On the surface last season was a bit down by Tiger standards, but still Groom managed to battle through and qualify for the postseason for a sixth straight season. Heading in to 2016 the Tigers will be looking to claw out a seventh straight trip. Six man football is always a numbers game and while injuries are a part of the game, Groom dealt with them throughout the 2016 season. Coach Tony Dodson spoke of the struggles and offered plenty of praise for the team’s resiliency. “We had several seniors that stepped up and contributed to a successful season. Some of our younger players gained some valuable playing time that will benefit our team this season.” Groom started off the year with a (38-24) win over Miami, but fell to McLean in week two (50-81). The tiger laid siege to Fort Elliott with a big (88-43) win, but dropped back to even on the year with a (6-12) loss to Petersburg in a low scoring affair. Follett beat the Tiger (24-55), but Groom bounced back with a (92-57) triumph over Lefors. Groom fell to Valley (12-60) in the final non district game. The Tigers swept all three district foes Silverton (49-0), Hedley (75-25), and McLean (96-66) to set up a Bi-District match-up against Lefors. Groom fell in the rematch by close fashion (70-74) to

end the season. Looking ahead at 2016 Coach Dodson said, “At Groom we are always looking forward to the coming season due to our tradition of competing year in and year out. This coming season will be one that will answer a lot of questions. We hope to get the right answers.” Four lettermen return to help answer those questions including three starters on each side of the ball. Groom deploys a Spread set for offense and a (5-1) as the base set on defense. Coaches cite a trio of players with All-State caliber talent. They are Carson Ritter, Mason Miller, and Logan Siler. Other players to keep a close eye on include Whit Ward, Cade Linquist, and Corbin Ruthardt. Coach Dodson also discussed the new schedule and changes to the district after realignment. “McLean was replaced by a very talented Valley team that has a long

storied tradition of competing for state titles on an annual basis. In addition, we will be tested greatly by both Hedley and Silverton, which are both improved and competitive.” The season begins August 26 th at Higgins. McLean visits for the home opener September 2nd and Fort Elliott visits September 9th. The Tigers take to the road for backto-back games on September 16 th at White Deer and September 23rd at Follett. No doubt Groom will have revenge for that playoff lost when Lefors visits September 30th. The final non district game will be at home versus Miami October 7th. The Tigers play two out of three district games at home with Hedley visiting first on October 21st followed by Valley on October 28th. The regular season finishes at Silverton November 4th.

Silverton Owls — District 2-1A D-II
Experience At A Price Silverton began 2015 in solid enough fashion, but fortune did not hold out for the Owls for first year Head Coach Aaron Green or his squad. Seven players suffered season ending injuries marring a season that began with solid potential. The Owls began the year with a (28-0) shutout win over Lazbuddie. A (47-34) victory over Kress improved the Owls to (2-0) before they fell to Higgins (36-42) in a closely fought battle. Silverton earned its third win of the year with a (26-16) victory over Fort Elliott but unfortunately that would be the last time the Owls struck a vein in the win column. Six straight losses to Nazareth (12-66), Hart (15-64), Valley JV (20-70), Groom (0-49), McLean (0-50) and finally Hedley (13-60) left Silverton (3-7) on the season. “With injuries we had a lot of young guys get experience, “Coach Green said. “Hopefully getting guys back from injury, and experience of young guys, will make us a better team this year.” Fourteen lettermen are back including three starters on both sides of the ball. Blaine Patton QB (6-2, 210, Sr. 4.7) has a great arm and good size. Patton was named 1st Team All-District QB last season. Kaleb Naceanceno RB/S (5-11, 150, Jr., 4.5) is a very quick athlete proven by his Area track championship in the 200. Andres Alanis RB/E (5-10, 165, Jr., 4.6) was a 2nd Team All-district pick on both sides of the ball after 2015. Isaias Colunga RB/CB (5-9, 155, Sr., 4.7) is described as the team leader with “great determination.” Other Owls to keep an eye on for 2016 include Zach

Valley Patriots — District 2-1A D-II
Patriots Primed For Class 1A, D-II Revolution Turkey Valley has been a perennial powerhouse now for five years, and 2016 certainly looks like it will be a sixth. From a 2015 team that reached the regional finals of Conference 1A, Division I 6-Man, the Patriots are returning nine lettermen, and they have dropped down to Division II after UIL realignment. They will compete in District 2 with Groom, Hedley and Silverton. While it will likely have to fight tooth and nail for a league title with Groom, Valley appears on the cusp of capturing its first ever state championship. Speed is the name of the game when it comes to the Patriots, and second-year head coach Brandon Smith expects to utilize that speed for a lengthy run in the postseason. “Valley has a winning tradition, and we have a group of kids with good speed,” Smith said. “With the combination of the two, I hope we go deep into the playoffs.” Senior Adrian Espinoza (5-9, 160) will be a player to watch at running back and on Valley’s defensive line. Offensively, he rushed 76 times for 868 yards and 25 touchdowns last year, and he recorded 76 tackles and 11 sacks on defense. Senior Zack Stumbo (6-3, 175) will commandeer

Lazbuddie Longhorns — TAPPS District 3-1A D-II 6-MAN
Longhorns Busting Out Chad Larkin believes having a year under his and his program’s proverbial belt – plus a little better luck avoiding injuries – should make a big difference for the Lazbuddie Longhorns in 2016. “This is the second year for my new offense and defense. I used this offense and defense at the junior high level, so my up-and-coming freshmen already know the formations and plays. We should be very competitive, barring injuries, because with our speed and quickness, this offense will be hard to read and cover,” Larkin said. Larkin’s rookie season as a head coach saw the Longhorns win only one game. “We were young and very inexperienced with only three with varsity playing experience,” noted Larkin. “We suffered some vital injuries the first game of the season and played most of the season with 6-7 players. Two prominent starters with experience each missed six of our 10 games.” All six starters are back from 2015 when only two players were lost. “We will be small but should be very quick,” said Larkin, who attended West Texas A&M, South Plains and Excelsior. Larkin is putting most of his chips behind the likes of Bernardo Lopez, Wes Penrod and Coby Glover, who all play running back, quarterback and wide receiver in Larkin’s diamond offense. “If they stay healthy, those three have all-state potential,” Larkin said. Lopez (5-5, 135, 4.8), a sophomore, rushed for 347 yards and 5 touchdowns on just 20 carries in five games last season as a freshman, while Penrod (5-6, 145, 4.8), a junior, put up 230 yards and 2 TDs on 34 totes in six contests. The pair had 13 catches for 247 and 191 yards and another 5 and 2 scores, respectively, while Penrod completed 19-of-47 passes for 352 yards with 7 TDs and 4 interceptions. “Lopez could break the single-season TD record as the previous year he was newcomer of the year,” Larkin said. As a linebacker in Lazbuddie’s 3-2 defense, Lopez had 20 tackles (2 TFLs) and 3 interceptions, while Penrod recorded 25 stops (2 TFLs) and 1 pick. Among other players making impacts for the Longhorns will be TJ Ballard and Gunner Russell (5-7, 135, 5.0), who along with Glover (5-7, 130, 4.9) is an promising freshman. Lazbuddie hosts Kingdom Prep and Holy Cross in scrimmages before opening the season with back-to-back home games against Loop and Plainview Christian. After a trip to Wilson, the Longhorns get two more at home against Anton JV and Hedley, followed by a road game against Holy Cross. District begins in Cotton Center, then it’s home against

Amherst Bulldogs — District 3-1A D-II
Experienced Amherst Eyes More Success With all but 1 player returning from another district championship season, the Amherst Bulldogs appear primed to do it again in 2016. “We are looking forward to continuing the progress from last year,” coach Daniel T. Hinojosa said. “Our region will be very intense and full of hard-hitting, fast-paced games, which should make for an exciting season. I feel with our schedule we will be able to compete with anyone, if we are healthy.” Hinojosa’s first season at the helm of the Bulldogs resulted in league title then a 48-42 loss to Whitharral in the first round of the playoffs, leaving Amherst with a 5-6 record. “Last year was a good one. We won our sixth district title in 7 years, and we improved,” Hinojosa said. “Our boys had a great off-season and it paid off. Ramon Cueva and Jesus Pacheco both were all-region, Cueva as our leading tackler and Pacheco as an amazing wide-out. Cueva was the district MVP as a sophomore.” Cueva (5-11, 195, 4.6) also earned all-state honors at linebacker while also rushing for 1,390 yards and 14 touchdowns on 160 carries. “He continues to get stronger, bigger and faster,” said Hinojosa, who called Pacheco (6-0, 155, 4.8), a senior, “a great leader” who last season caught 46 passes for 1,171 yards and 14 TDs, along with

5 interceptions. Another all-state candidate is senior safety Adam Gonzales (5-11, 150, 4.5), who in 2015 returned 3 of his 4 picks for scores. “Adam is a ball hawk,” Hinojosa said. “He was amazing during district and could be in for a special year.” Another returning all-region performer is junior center Hernan Roque (5-11, 190). “He’s aggressive, fast and strong,” Hinojosa said. Other veterans are sophomore quarterback Edgar Puentes (5-7, 110), who as a freshman completed 79-of-120 passes for 1,800 yards with 15 TDs and 11 interceptions, and senior tight end/defensive lineman Jonathan Cardenas (6-1, 195, 4.8), who caught 39 passes for 791 yards and 8 TDs. “Jonathan was our second-leading receiver. He has great hands and has the ability to get open and run. He’s hard to stop,” Hinojosa said. Among the fresh faces being counted on at sophomore

capable of winning the state title,” Hinojosa said. “Our district will be tough as nails. Lazbuddie will be improved, Cotton Center is always big and physical, and Kress and Whitharral, both playoff teams last year, will always be tough. All those teams are well-coached and the boys play hard, so district will be very competitive. There are no easy wins in this district. It will be a dogfight from start to finish.”

Whitharral Panthers — District 3-1A D-II
Panthers Young Whitharral has enjoyed a large amount of success over the last two years, as it has won 15 games combined and reached the regional round of the postseason both times. Unfortunately, the Panthers ran into 6-Man powerhouse Follett at regionals both times, and that is where their seasons came to an end. Follett ended up as the state runners-up last year, and they reached the quarterfinals in 2014. Sixth-year head coach Michael Brand said the 2015 club raised the bar as far as expectations and teamwork goes. “They improved the overall atmosphere on the field and in the locker room,” Brand said. “Our underclassmen got some much-needed varsity experience because we didn’t have a JV team, and hopefully that will show this coming season.” The Red and Black graduated three players from last year’s team, and although they are returning six lettermen, they will not have any seniors. Their roster currently boasts seven juniors, four freshmen and three sophomores. “Three of those started on both sides of the ball, and most have some varsity experience,” Brand said. “We should be able to spread it out on offense more this year with the players that we have. Defensively, we will have to be more aggressive and hopefully win the turnover battle.” Whitharral’s main focus offensively is to run the ball, and it will be returning standout running back Kody Gonzales. Gonzales rushed 131 times for 1,034 yards and 11 touchdowns last year. Matthew Lopez will spearhead its offense at quarterback. A season ago, Lopez completed 20 of 38 passes for 264 yards and 5 TDs with 1 interception. Brock Martin is an effective weapon on offense in both the rushing and aerial attacks. He tallied 44 carries for 301 yards and 6 touchdowns in 2015, and he also had 6 receptions for 140 yards and 3 TDs. Daniel Poage and Weston Sasser will be two offensive linemen to keep tabs on. “Both Daneil and Weston are entering their junior year and need to make big plays in order for the Panther running game to be effective,” Brand said. After UIL realignment in February, the Panthers

Motley County Matadors — District 4-1A D-II
Motley County Rides Youth Movement Into 2016 Since 2007, Motley County football fans have seen their favorite team enjoy a remarkable run of success. During that time the Matadors have claimed a state title, played for a second, made four semi-final appearances and advanced to the quarterfinals seven times. The architect for Motley County’s competitive string has been head coach Mike Bigham, who has amassed a (95-22) record in 10 years with the program. Last season the Matadors finished (10-3) overall and (2-1) in league play. Their post-season included runaway wins against Lueders-Avoca and Forestburg and a heartbreaking (54-48) quarterfinal loss to Guthrie, who also beat Motley County for the District 9-1A crown. “We were a very good team by the end of the season,” Bigham said. “We had a great group of seniors.” This year Bigham counts no upperclassmen on his roster, but the Matadors do return two starters on offense and 3 three on defense among their six returning lettermen. In other words, Motley County will feature a young squad in 2016 that will be armed with a little bit of experience and a lot of tradition. The Matadors will also face a big change in league competition brought on by UIL realignment. Last season Bigham and his crew competed in Region III as members

of District 9-IA D-II along with Patton Springs, Paducah and Guthrie. This year they will move to Region I and compete against Petersburg, Wilson and fellow 2015 quarterfinalist Southland in District 4-IA D-II. Despite the youth and logistical change, Bigham is looking forward to seeing how his team competes. “I am excited to watch this group of young players work and come together as a team,” he said. Motley County’s most experienced players include junior Mickey Clary and sophomores Brendan Fisk, Eli Marshall and Cade Drum. Last year Clary was named to the all-district first team at cornerback in the Matadors’ 2-3 defense. Fisk (5-10, 218) was a two-way performer in 2015 and ended the season as an all-district first team defensive

lineman and the all-league second team tight end. Marshall picked up all-district first team honors on special teams and second team recognition on the defensive line. Drum landed the all-district second team quarterback spot and gives the Matadors a solid leader for their T-formation offense. Motley County should also receive contributions from a talented freshman trio that includes all-district second team performers Logan Salazar at cornerback, Eddie Reyes at kicker and utility player Kyler Degan. The Matadors begin the 2016 season Aug. 27 when they face Hermleigh in the 13th Annual Jayton Gridiron Classic. After consecutive home games against Spur (Sept. 1) and White Deer (Sept. 8), they make a Sept. 16 trip to Miami. Their remaining non-district task includes home tussles with Chillicothe on Sept. 22 and Meadow on Oct. 7 and a Sept. 30 road battle at Northside. Motley County District 4-A slate includes back-to-back visits to Petersburg (Oct. 21) and Wilson (Oct. 28) and a Nov. 4 home tilt versus Southland.

Petersburg Buffaloes — District 4-1A D-II
B uffaloes L ooking T o F inish W inning “Finishing” proved to be a problem for the Petersburg Buffaloes in 2015. Coach Jake Popham didn’t like the way the Buffs finished big games or finished off the season, which ended with Petersburg posting a respectable (6-4) record but missing out on the playoffs with a (1-2) mark in district. “The season got off to a promising start, we just didn’t finish in the big games at the end of the season,” noted the coach in his third season at Petersburg. “We will need to improve our execution late in the season to make a playoff run.” Petersburg lost only two players – Marcos Hinojos and Issac Salas – off last year’s roster, leaving seven lettermen including five starters on offense and four on defense. With that kind of experience, Popham believes the Buffs have a good chance to get back in the postseason in 2016. “We have an opportunity for a playoff berth. We just need to perform up to our capabilities late in the season,” he said. “We’re looking for big production from the junior and sophomore classes. It should be an exciting year.” Among the veterans is Tristan Garza, Petersburg’s top returning rusher, receiver and tackler. Garza produced 1,275 yards and 16 touchdowns on 160 carries last season

when he also caught 22 passes for 322 yards and 7 more scores. On defense Garza recorded 53 tackles 9 TFL with 2 sacks, 5 fumbles and 2 interceptions. Taking over at quarterback for the Buffs after the departure of Salas will be Gabriel Hinojos, who last season threw for 258 yards and 8 touchdowns. Hinojos plays in the secondary on defense where he had 18 tackles. Besides Garza, Yovahn Marroquin also is a capable receiver with 14 catches for 203 yards and 3 TDs a year ago. Trey Lucero 76 carries, 389 yards, 4 TDs gives the Buffs another rushing option, while Marroquin 34 tackles, 11 TFL, 3 fumbles and Lucero 31 tackles, 7 TFL, 3 sacks also anchor the defensive line. Tyal Petersen returns at linebacker where he produced 32 tackles 2 TFL. Joaquin Sanchez also will be counted on in skill positions. If Petersburg can overcome a lack of depth, the Buffs will have a chance to get back in the playoff dance in 2016. Popham looks for a “very competitive” district schedule and feels Motley County is the team to beat. “I look for tight games throughout,” he said.

Southland Eagles — District 4-1A D-II
Hauk Seeks Continued Southland Run
On the heels of a spectacular season and on the verge of what figures to be more exciting football in 2016, the Southland Eagles welcome a new head coach in Kyle Hauk. Previously the coach at Loraine, Hauk welcomes back just over half of last year’s team. Five seniors graduated while seven lettermen – including four offensive and two defensive starters -- return from Southland’s (11-2) season and third straight playoff team. The Eagles captured the district title and a pair of playoff wins over Kress (56-6) and Lefors (79-66) before a loss in the regional round to Follett (58-42). Follett advanced all the way to the state championship game before falling to Richland Springs. “We’re real excited,” said Hauk, who took over in May. “Coach Hamilton and Coach Rucker have done a wonderful job rebuilding this program. We’re looking forward to some wonderful things in Southland.” Hauk expects 22 players in the Eagle program, among them a quartet of talented players in Christian Sanchez, Israel Guerra, Dailyn Fogerson and Cordin Mason. Sanchez (5-7, 170, 4.8) plays running back on offense and cornerback on defense, having rushed

Fogerson (5-11, 260, 5.1) and Mason (6-0, 220, 5.3) put in their time on the line with Fogerson lining up at guard and noseguard and Mason at center. Hauk will have to hustle to install his system, but if the Eagles take to it expect Southland to have another outstanding season, even in a district and region that’s gotten tougher. Last season, Motley County and Southland were the six-man kings of the region, each advancing three rounds deep in the playoffs. Now, both those teams are in the same district as the Matadors and Petersburg join the Eagles and Wilson in District 4, Division II. “The district got much tougher. There’s not a break anywhere,” Hauk said. “I’d feel better if I’d have been returning and know my personnel, but there’s plenty of time to get to know the kids and install concepts. We’re going to work the kinks out by the time we get to district. We’re hoping to compete and continue a little playoff streak Southland has started.” Hauk’s first game with the Eagles will be in

Wilson Mustangs — District 4-1A D-II 6-Man
Wilson Breaking Out Three times in the last five seasons, Wilson has come close to breaking their long playoff drought only to come up short in the end. In 2016, Mustangs’ head coach Bear Chesley and his staff— defensive coordinator Rustin Keith and assistant coach Morgan Rickwartz—will enter their third season at the school with a much more experienced squad. That continuity between coaches and players could be just what the program needs to secure its first post-season birth since 1988. Last year the Mustangs got off to a fast start with three wins in their first four games. In fact, they entered district play with a solid 5-2 mark and looked like a contender for one of the league’s two playoff spots. However, they never recovered from a tough 40-31 loss to Wellman-Union in the loop opener and ended up 5-5 overall and 0-3 against district competition. “Last year’s team surprised everyone with a 5-5 finish,” Chesley said. “They were fast, strong and much more expereinced than other Wilson teams of the past. If it wasn’t for several key injuries in district, they most likely would have gone to the playoffs.” With 12 lettermen returning, including five starters on offense and four more on defense, Chesley is looking for an improved Wislon squad in 2016. He said the team’s experience, their hard work and dedication in the weight room and an improved rugbystyle approach to tackling should be major team strengths. Thanks to UIL realignment, the Mustangs and defending league champion Southland will face a pair of new district foes in Petersburg, who missed the playoffs last year, and a Motley County team that joined Southland in the state quarterfinals. “This year’s district will be extremely tough,” Chesley said. “Southland might be down, but Petersburg and Motley County will be difficult.” Chesley said the Mustangs could have a pair of potential allstate performers in junior wing back/defensive end Lance Lopez and senior running back/cornerback Bailey Steen. Last season Lopez earned an all-district first team spot on offense. And as members of Wilson’s sprint relay team that qualified for the regional track meet, Lopez and Steen each possess the kind of speed that strikes fear into opposing defenses. Chesley also expects sophomore quarterback/defensive end Bryan Mendez to be a big contributor for Wilson in 2016. He singled out freshman running back/safety Tony Pantoja as the team’s most promising newcomer. Other players who will look to help the Mustangs’ cause in 2016 include senior linemen Zackk Mendez (6-0, 315) and Zac

Overcome Long Odds
Football returned to Dell City in 2015, and firstyear coach Joey Czubinski and crew performed admirably. “We were picked to finish last in our district by every publication in Texas, and it wasn’t hard to see why. Dell City did not play football in 2014. In fact, they had just one game in four years and hadn’t made the playoffs in eight years,” said Czubinski, who arrived on the scene in spring 2015 after coaching in Lefors and Lometa. Despite the long odds, the Cougars won four games and finished second in district to make the playoffs, falling in the first round to state semifinalist Buena Vista. “This group of young men helped turn it around and we surprised a few people,” Czubinski said. The odds may be just as long in 2016 for Dell City, a small Division II six-man school that mostly relies on agricultural families for athletes. “We’ve had three two-way starters (all-district players Victor Acosta and Zac Acosta, along with Chris Prescott) move out from next year’s team, so we are going to be very young. No seniors, three juniors, maybe six sophomores (five of whom played last year as freshmen), and maybe 2-3 freshmen,” said Czubinski, who is 73-58 in 13 years. After the moveaway losses, Dell City counts five returning lettermen from last year’s 4-7 team, including 3 starters on offense and 2 on defense. “We have leaders: Alexis Corral, Reilly Czubinski, Moises Espinoza… I hope other sophomores and freshmen can step up and be accountable. This may be a rebuilding year, and I’m fine with that if we can keep the numbers up,” Coach Czubinski said. “We have 7-8 athletes that play everything and even the UIL competition, one-act play, so finding practice times that don’t conflict is always a challenge. I have never seen kids stretched so thin, and we always have to focus on STAAR and strategies for academics, so I admire these young men and women. They’re under a microscope.” Sophomore quarterback/linebacker Reilly Czubinski (5-9, 155, 4.9) is the Cougars’ leading returning passer, rusher, receiver and tackler, last year throwing for 176 yards and 2 touchdowns, rushing for 138 yards and 2 scores, compiling 515 receiving yards and 8 TDs on 40 catches, and recording 66 tackles (14 TFL) with 5 sacks 3 fumbles and 1 interception. “He played 4 offensive positions last year as a freshman,” Coach Czubinski noted. Reilly will be counted on even more after the graduation of quarterback Naason Acuna and running back Jacob Hickox. Corral (5-9, 195, 5.9), a junior, plays fullback

Anchoring the secondary will be sophomore cornerback Eduardo Velarde (5-8, 140, 4.9), who ended last year with 14 tackles and 1 fumble. Rounding out the roster are sophomore lineman

Robert Rector (5-8, 135, 5.9) and freshmen Christian Mendoza (5-8, 135, 5.1) at receiver and Gabriel DeLuna (5-6, 180, 6.2) and Rogelio Estrada-Gamon (5-7, 150, 5.1) on the line. The Cougars open the season Aug. 25 in Fort Davis against Midland Trinity then go to El Paso Immanuel before playing four of their next five at home, starting with Fort Hancock. An open week follows then a trip to Marfa before hosting Jesus Chapel for homecoming, Fort Davis and district newcomer Grandfalls-Royalty. The regular-season ends with a home game against Balmorhea in between trips to Sierra Blanca and Sanderson. “Adding Grandfalls-Royalty makes us a five-team instead of a four-team district, and the fact that they have numbers and playoff experience, along with Balmorhea, it will make it harder on the other teams in the district,” Czubinski said. “Getting wins will not be easy and we will be in a constant struggle to keep players out. Dell City will have a tough task ahead of us for 2016-17. “Travel comes into play now, and it will be very tough for smaller teams to compete with schools with larger numbers. This is a way of life for small schools, and if you love football like most schools in Texas do, this is a new challenge and we accept it and look forward to it next year.”
Mustangs Out For Glory It’s been more than a decade since the Sands football team has qualified for three straight postseasons, but that’s what the Mustangs have a chance to accomplish in 2016. Steve Keith, who has posted a 20-14 mark as the Sands head coach, has helped guide the program to the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, including last year when the Mustangs finished 7-4 overall and 3-1 in district play. Despite that solid record, Sands’ 2015 finish was bittersweet. In their last two games, the Mustangs lost the district title game to eventual state semifinalist Buena Vista and then suffered a bi-district defeat at the hands of a Balmorhea team that went on to advance to the state quarterfinals. “The team probably did not accomplish what we wanted to, but they did set the bar high for our incoming players,” Keith said. “We had five seniors who were the leaders for our team and our school.” When the new season rolls around, Keith will welcome back 6 lettermen and 3 starters on each side of the ball.

overall team speed, he said the ’16 Sands squad has a something-to-prove attitude created at the end of last season. “I think this team wants to prove to everyone that they can carry on the tradition of Sands football,” Keith explained. “We should have good numbers out—around 25 players—so we will play a JV schedule again. That should also help us this year.” The Mustangs will play in a revamped district, with UIL realignment replacing Buena Vista and Grandfalls-Royalty with Wellman-Union and Grady. But Keith said the road to another post-season won’t necessarily be any easier. “Grady and Dawson will be the teams to beat and Wellman is changing districts, so they have some new excitement,” he said. “This district has some good athletes in it and it will be very competitive.” Some of the district’s good athletes will be playing for Sands, including senior Juan Diaz and junior Deryk Renteria. Diaz was an all-district first team running back last year, picking up 504 yards and 6 touchdowns on the ground and hauling in 38 passes for 610 yards and 12 TDs as a receiver. He was also a handful on the defensive line where he recorded 79 tackles, 7 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries and an interception. Those stats earned him another all-district first team nod, a spot on the all-region first team and all-state honorable mention. “Juan is very coachable and he always plays hard,” Keith said. Renteria, who Keith describes as a smart player with a good knowledge of the game, was a first team all-district and all-region special teams performer as a sophomore, hitting 59 of 77 extra point attempts. He also completed 17 of 23 passes for 277 yards and three touchdowns in landing an all-district first team spot as a utility back. Sands will also look for big performances from juniors Caleb Gillespie and Reme Arriaga. Gillespie was named an all-league second team linebacker with 58 tackles, 3 sacks, a pair of fumble recoveries and an interception. He also pitched in on offense with 210 yards and 3 touchdowns on just 25

carries. Arriaga distinguished himself on defense as a sophomore by racking up 69 total tackles, 5 sacks and 2 fumble recoveries en route to an all-district second team selection on the defensive line. “Caleb is not very big, but he is very aggressive,” Keith said. “Reme wants to be the best defensive end in the district.” Other Mustangs to watch in 2016 include senior wide receiver/defensive back Eric Garcia, junior quarterback/defensive back Nick Garcia, promising senior newcomer Trevor Blagrave (WR/DB) and promising junior newbies Chris Ybarra (RB/NG) and Noah Wigington (OL/DL).

Highland Hornets — District 7-1A D-II
Hornets Sting New Divison Despite being hit by a litany of injuries in 2015, Roscoe Highland continued to battle. District 7-1A, D-I 6-Man was also a tough one, but the Hornets will not have to worry much about those league foes anymore. After UIL realignment in February, they have dropped down to Division II and been placed in District 7-1A with Blackwell, Loraine and Trent. Coming off a 1-9 season (0-3 7-1A, D-I) might be a downer, but the prospects of a fresh start and the work the players have been putting in during the offseason has six-year head coach Kyle Jeffery feeling positive. “With the return of some key players and a drop to Division II, we should be a more competitive team week in and week out,” Jeffery said. “We have had a productive offseason in the weight room and on the track, and hopefully that will carry over to the football field this fall.” Three key players returning are seniors Jon Basye (6, 175), Tristan Rawlings (5-11, 180) and Garrett Muncy (5-11, 150). Despite missing five games due to injury last year, Basye still led Highland with 518 passing yards and 7 touchdowns while completing 32 of 74 passes. Defensively, Basye recorded 50 tackles with 4.5 tackles for a loss. Rawlings was the team’s leading tackler a season ago and the most consistent lineman on offense, according to Jeffery. He caught 12 passes for 134 yards and 2 TDs, and he racked up 59 tackles – 6.5 for a loss – and 3 sacks. Muncy also missed five games due to injury a year ago, and he will move over from tight end to the running back spot in 2016. He carried the ball 45 times for 150 yards last season, and he also collected 30 tackles and 1 interception in the secondary of the Hornets’ 2-3-1 defense. Two players to watch for the Royal Blue and White will be senior tight end/defensive end Clyde Dent (5-10, 175) and senior center/linebacker Brayden Scott (5-10, 150). Two promising newcomers to keep tabs on will be sophomore running back/cornerback Eli Sauer (5-6, 155) and sophomore center/linebacker Nolan Montgomery (6, 215). Highland will open its season on the road at Grady on Aug. 26 at 7:30 p.m. Its first league tilt will be on the road, as well, at Trent on Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m., and the Hornets will finish the regular season at Blackwell on Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m.

Jayton Jaybirds — District 8-1A D-II
JAYBIRDS PUT 2015’S INJURIES BEHIND THEM
The thing that six-man football coaches might dread the most – injuries – took a toll on Jayton last season, when the Jaybirds returned all but two starters on both sides of the line from a playoff team in 2014. “We went into 2015 with high expectations, but the injury bug bit us hard and we lost some really good kids for the entire season,” coach Josh Stanaland said. As a result, Jayton won just two games and failed to make the playoffs for just the second time in a decade, snapping a run of five straight postseason appearances. “Even with all the adversity, the kids played hard and we came nine points short of being district champions.” Stanaland hopes last year’s lumps pay big dividends in 2016. “We expect to be in the playoffs every year. The kids didn’t enjoy sitting at home last year and have been working very hard to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” said the coach who is 36-33 in seven seasons at Jayton. “As frustrating as last season was, we saw lots of growth from some younger guys who will now be counted on to be leaders. We were able to put a lot of young guys on the field and develop some good depth.” Only one player was lost to graduation and five starters returning on offensive and five on defense. “We plan to win a lot of games and challenge for the district title,” Stanaland said. “Expectations are high

for 2016. It is going to be a lot of fun.” Providing a lot of that optimism are seniors Sheldon Burchett, Tristan Benavides and Kobe Lisenbee, as well as junior Clay Griswold. Stanaland had high praise for Burchett (6-1, 155, 4.8), a four-year starter who last year caught 44 passes for 733 yards and 6 touchdowns while making 121 tackles, 6 fumbles and 4 interceptions on defense. “Sheldon has been a leader on our team since he was a freshman. If there is a better wide receiver and safety in 1A, then I haven’t seen him. He has great hands and great instincts. On offense we have confidence he’ll win the 50/50 balls. On defense, he is an eraser. He breaks on the ball as well as anyone I’ve seen. I expect Sheldon to have a big year.” Benavides (6-0, 180, 4.9) was a Preseason Super Team defensive lineman after making 86 tackles as a sophomore, but he suffered a broken leg in the 2015 season-opener.

“It was a big loss because he is our best offensive and defensive lineman. Tristan plays with great effort and intensity and makes everyone around him better. We weren’t able to replace that and look forward to getting him back on the field this year,” Stanaland said. Lisenbee (5-9, 195, 5.0) plays running back and defensive end “but could play anywhere on the field,” according to his coach. “He started the 2015 season as a lineman but moved to the backfield and really helped us there (33 rushes, 201 yards, 1 TD). He is a big, strong kid and has the ability to pick up tough yards and wear down a defense.” Lisenbee provided 51 tackles on defense and as a kicker made 24-of-35 PATs. Stanaland called Griswold (6, 155, 4.7), who a year ago had 59 tackles, seven fumbles and an interception on defense while rushing for 990 yards and 14 TDs on 95 carries, “a special talent. He has great vision and speed

and has the ability to make a big play when it doesn’t look like anything is there. He is a threat to score on every touch. He’ll be a very important part of our team.” Returning to quarterback Jayton’s unbalanced offense is sophomore Kaden Awe (5-9, 145, 4.9), who as a freshman completed 42-of-77 passes for 766 yards with 7 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, while as a cornerback made 55 tackles. “Kaden was a two-way starter in every game as a freshman. He became our starting quarterback in the first scrimmage after an injury to senior Slade Coulter. Kaden’s growth throughout the season was tremendous. He had only played running back in his career and still threw for 766 yards. I look forward to watching his continued growth this season. Joining Benavides up front will be juniors Junior Martinez (5-8, 235) and Tyler Season (5-10, 190). “Junior was thrown into the fire last year as a sophomore. He really figured things out, and that experience is going to pay off this year. He is a big, strong kid and could start on both sides of the ball,” Stanaland said. Seaton started at center as a sophomore. “He is very smart and has great hands,” the coach said. “He is one of those rare kids that could play four or five positions on either side of the ball.” Among the top new faces for Jayton are senior running back Jacob Salazar (5-9, 180) and a trio of freshmen in running back Corbin Russell (5-8, 140), end Camron Benavides (6, 140) and quarterback Tye Scogin (5-8, 140). Jayton hosts Throckmorton in its season-opener before going to Aspermont, home against Cotton Center, at Sands, home against Whitharral, at Rotan and home against Trent. A new district sees the Jaybirds going to Patton Springs, hosting Benjamin then ending at Guthrie in a game that could decide the district title. Said Stanaland of the UIL realignment, “I was a little surprised at how it turned out, but I like it. We have been in a district with Benjamin, Guthrie and Patton Springs lots of times, so there is some familiarity there. It will be a competitive district. Every team will have to bring their best every night or you’ll get beat.”

After opening the season Aug. 26 in Harrold, the next three games are in Patton Springs against Loop, Wellman-Union and Wilson. The Rangers then go to Wilson to face Lubbock Home School before returning home to host Trent. After a trip to Petersburg, district play begins with home games against Jayton and Benjamin, broken up by a trip to Guthrie. “This year’s district has changed a little, but it will still be tough as usual,” Burgess noted. “We lost Motley County and Paducah but picked up Jayton and Benjamin.”

Aspermont Hornets — District 10-1A D-II
Hornets Relying
on
The Aspermont Hornets might be a bit difficult to recognize for fans early in the 2016 season as only two players are back from last season. “After graduating nine seniors, we will rely on our underclassmen,” head coach Julian Menchaca said in looking ahead to the upcoming campaign. “Going into the season we only have four seniors.” After going 3-7 in his first season as head coach, Menchaca – a graduate of West Texas A&M University – turned things around in 2015 and the Hornets made the playoffs, falling in bi-district to Hermleigh (75-30) and finishing an impressive 8-3. For the Hornets to keep the momentum going, they’ll need to grow up in a hurry and depend on their depth. “We will be lead by Nick Godfrey, who returns on both sides of the ball,” said Menchaca. Last season in Aspermont’s unbalanced offense, Godfrey ran for 209 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries while catching 15 passes for 327 yards and 6 scores. In the Hornets’ 2-3 defense, Godfrey registered 62 tackles and 7 sacks and came up with 3 interceptions. “Karter Morris returns to solidify both the offensive line and defensive line,”

Menchaca said. Morris made 15 catches for 226 yards and 4 touchdowns. Menchaca said he’s been impressed with both Godfrey and Morris. “These guys put in time during the summer and are ready to compete day-in and day-out.” Others Aspermont will be counting on include Bryson Gibson and Anthony Jackson, who is the team’s top returning receiver statistically with 31 catches for 229 yards and 1 touchdown. Also needed to step up are newcomers Rowdy Bradley and Slade Swink. As for Aspermont’s new-look league, Menchaca said, “It’s anybody’s game. The new district looks very competitive. Throckmorton brings deep winning tradition into the district, and Rule comes in with great athletes. This district should be exciting.”

Rule Bobcats — District 10-1A D-II
bobcats hunting new prey under new leadership
Rule had a solid 2015 campaign, one that saw it reach the Class 1A 6-Man, Division II postseason with a 7-3 regular-season record. But the Bobcats were handed a 69-22 bi-district defeat by Guthrie, and they have not proceeded past the opening round of the playoffs since 2007, when they went 13-1 and lost in the state championship game to Richland Springs. They will welcome in a new head coach in Isiah Archer, and while they will remain in Region III, the Blue and White will move to District 10-1A, D-II with Aspermont, Haskell Paint Creek, LuedersAvoca and Throckmorton. Archer said Rule had a good year in 2015, and despite having to adjust to a coaching change and new schemes, he hopes the team is able to continue trending upward. “We will be looking to build on what was accomplished last season,” Archer said. “Learning a new system will be a challenge. We are excited to get the best out of our players.” Three impact players to keep an eye on will be senior fullback/defensive lineman Cole Tabb (6, 220), senior tight end/defensive end Jacob Navarette (6-3, 190) and senior running back/ defensive back Ron Mitchell (5-10, 150). Other players to watch are junior center/ defensive lineman Rumaldo Chavez (5-10, 225), sophomore offensive/defensive lineman Joseph Chavez (5-9, 200), junior running back/linebacker Adolfo Gonzalez (5-7, 145), sophomore running back/defensive back Chase Thompson (6, 150) and junior quarterback/defensive back Brandon Mitchell (5-8, 145). Some promising newcomers to keep tabs on will be freshman running back/defensive back Kiya Bailey (5-7, 145), freshman running back/ linebacker Faben Hollingsworth (5-10, 155) and freshman offensive/defensive lineman Eien Sotello (5-7, 135). The Bobcats are scheduled to open the season at Nazareth on Aug. 27 at 2:30 p.m. They will face Paint Creek on the road on Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. to open league play, and their final regular-season tilt will be at Throckmorton on Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

Bet
Greyhounds
on the
Greyhounds hoping for return to prominence After 11 consecutive seasons with a winning record, including 4 state titles during that span – 2005, 2011, 2012 and 2014 – Throckmorton finally came back down to earth in 2015. The Greyhounds went (3-8) overall, made the playoffs and fell to Chillicothe (56-44) in the bi-district round at Archer City. “This team faced many challenges throughout the year, beginning with only one returning offensive starter and no defensive starters off of a state championship team,” Throckmorton second-year head coach Brad Hall said. “Not only was this team inexperienced, but also had to deal with injuries to key players throughout the year.” The Greyhounds look to be on the upswing heading into 2016, however, as they return nine lettermen while losing only four. In an offensive scheme that relies on a strong ground attack, the Purple and Gold return two reliable backs it hopes will carry it forward. Senior Carson Scrogum (5-10, 170) racked up 910 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on 116 carries last year, and junior Roby Rankin (5-9, 135) collected 539 yards with 8 touchdowns on 75 attempts. Rankin will be the commander of the offense at quarterback, where he completed 39 of 71 passes for 470 yards, 8 touchdowns and 3 interceptions a season ago. Senior Adam Dennis (6-2, 160) had an outstanding campaign at wide receiver in 2016, as he was on the receiving end of the majority of Rankin’s passes. Dennis tallied 21 receptions for 316 yards and 7 TDs. Scrogum and senior Robert Jorgenson (5-6, 150) are two players to watch on Throckmorton’s defensive line. Scrogum registered 53 tackles – 4 for a loss – and 1 fumble a year ago, and 7 of Jorgenson’s 33 tackles went for a loss while collecting 1 sack and 2 fumbles. Dennis is a standout in the Greyhounds’ defensive secondary, where he recorded 50 tackles, 11 of which went for a loss. “We will have some experience returning, but might have to rely on some younger kids in certain areas,” Hall said. “Some newer faces will have to step up on our line on both sides of the ball. Our schedule is very competitive and should pose some challenging games for us.” Throckmorton will be facing a whole new crop of league foes this season, as they have shifted over into District 10-1A, Division II 6-Man with Aspermont, Haskell Paint Creek, Lueders-Avoca and Rule.

NATIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FOR HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PROGRAMS LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL The North American High School Football Coaches Association has kept statistics on recruiting for over 30 years.
different states had already approached the NAHSFCA for guidance, when the TEA also asked for help.
N.A.H.S.F.C.A.
As a result the North American High School Football Coaches Association in conjunction with Western Sports Guides created a national classification system based primarily on starters of winning programs for three years, students who graduate, and two-year starters out of those high schools. The system contains seven classes; 7-A is the highest. This system requires that every high school in the nation with an enrollment larger than 700 students, update the coaches’ information, the number of players, seniors, and the number of visits by BCS (old Div. I-A) universities.

Beginning in 1998 these statistics revealed a decline in the number of young men going out for football, and a lot of inconsistencies in how and where universities recruited student athletes. Subsequent research uncovered numerous reasons for these problems: interference by outside entities such as recruiting services and web sites, geographical prejudices, the inconsistency of NCAA enforcement officers in their interpretation of the rules, and an inability of universities to judge the academic abilities of student athletes. Numerous presidents of Texas universities asked the TEA to help them find a reliable source to assist their football programs recruit student athletes. Football coaches’ associations from twenty-six

NAHSFCA also keeps records of football signing classes at universities that give full-ride scholarships. For more than 20 years they’ve tracked players, their high school and coach, and which university’s letter of intent each athlete signed. The statistics generated by these 2 databases profiles the success of high school coaches and their programs. The results are then made available to university coaches on a subscription basis. Each recruiting coordinator gets a CD with everything he needs to help him decide which high school programs best match his needs. The CD then allows
